Increasingly negative VIN will cause the output current to limit at approximately 3.6mA. Figure 1 shows the basic connection diagram for the XTR103. The loop power supply, VPS provides power for all circuitry. Output loop current is measured as a voltage across the series load resistor, RL. Increasingly positive input voltage (greater than VFS) will produce increasing output current according to the transfer function, up to the output current limit of approximately 34mA. Two matched 0.8mA current sources drive the RTD and zero-setting resistor, RZ. The instrumentation amplifier input of the XTR103 measures the voltage difference between the RTD and RZ. The value of RZ is chosen to be equal to the resistance of the RTD at the low-scale (minimum) measurement temperature. RZ can be adjusted to achieve 4mA output at the minimum measurement temperature to correct for input offset voltage and reference current mismatch of the XTR103. EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR Transistor Q1 conducts the majority of the signal-dependent 4-20mA loop current. Using an external transistor isolates the majority of the power dissipation from the precision input and reference circuitry of the XTR103, maintaining excellent accuracy. Since the external transistor is inside a feedback loop its characteristics are not critical. Requirements are: VCEO = 45V min, = 40 min and PD = 800mW. Power dissipation requirements may be lower if the loop power supply voltage is less than 40V. Some possible choices for Q1 are listed in Figure 1. RCM provides an additional voltage drop to bias the inputs of the XTR103 within their common-mode range. Resistor, RG, sets the gain of the instrumentation amplifier according to the desired temperature measurement range. The transfer function through the complete instrumentation amplifier and voltage-to-current converter is: The XTR103 can be operated without this external transistor by connecting pin 11 to 14 (see Figure 2). Accuracy will be somewhat degraded by the additional internal power dissipation. This effect is most pronounced when the input stage is set for high gain (for low full-scale input voltage). The typical performance curve "Input Offset Voltage vs Loop Supply Voltage" describes this behavior. IO = VIN * (0.016 + 40/RG) + 4mA, (VIN in volts, RG in ohms, RLIN = ) where VIN is the differential input voltage. With no RG connected (RG = ), a 0V to 1V input produces a 4-20mA output current. With RG = 25, a 0V to 10mV input produces a 4-20mA output current. Other values for RG can be calculated according to the desired full-scale input voltage, VFS, with the formula in Figure 1. VIN = V+IN - V-IN = IR (RTD - RZ) Possible choices for Q1 (see text). 13 4 5 IR = 0.8mA IR = 0.8mA + IR V+IN IR 10 V+ 4-20 mA B XTR103 E RG RLIN - 3 V IN RLIN 9 8 RLIN (3) (1, 3) RTD 15 Q1 0.01F 11 IO + + RL - VPS - 7 IO = 4mA + VIN (0.016 + 40 ) RG RZ NOTES: (1) RZ = RTD resistance at the minimum measured temperature.

(R) XTR103 TO-225 TO-220 TO-220 RG RG 6 PACKAGE 12 (2, 3) VIN - TYPE 2N4922 TIP29B TIP31B 6 The low operating voltage (9V) of the XTR103 allows operation directly from personal computer power supplies (12V 5%). When used with the RCV420 Current Loop Receiver (Figure 8), load resistor voltage drop is limited to 1.5V. 10 V+ LINEARIZATION 11 E XTR103 On-chip linearization circuitry creates a signal-dependent variation in the two matching current sources. Both current sources are varied equally according to the following equation: 500 * VIN IR1 = IR2 = 0.8 + RLIN 0.01F EINT 14 IO 7 (IR in mA, VIN in volts, RLIN in ohms) (maximum IR = 1.0mA) For operation without external transistor, connect pin 11 to pin 14. See text for discussion of performance. This varying excitation provides a 2nd-order term to the transfer function (including the RTD) which can correct the RTD's nonlinearity. The correction is controlled by resistor RLIN which is chosen according to the desired temperature measurement range. Table I provides the RG, RZ and RLIN resistor values for a Pt100 RTD. FIGURE 2. Operation Without External Transistor. LOOP POWER SUPPLY The voltage applied to the XTR103, V+, is measured with respect to the IO connection, pin 7. V+ can range from 9V to 40V. The loop supply voltage, VPS, will differ from the voltage applied to the XTR103 according to the voltage drop on the current sensing resistor, RL (plus any other voltage drop in the line). If no linearity correction is desired, do not connect a resistor to the RLIN pins (RLIN = ). This will cause the excitation current sources to remain a constant 0.8mA. ADJUSTING INITIAL ERRORS Most applications will require adjustment of initial errors. Offset errors can be corrected by adjustment of the zero resistor, RZ. If a low loop supply voltage is used, RL must be made a relatively low value to assure that V+ remains 9V or greater for the maximum loop current of 20mA. It may, in fact, be prudent to design for V+ equal or greater than 9V with loop currents up to 34mA to allow for out-of-range input conditions. The typical performance curve "Loop Resistance vs Loop Power Supply" shows the allowable sense resistor values for full-scale 20mA. Figure 3 shows another way to adjust zero errors using the output current adjustment pins of the XTR103. This provides a minimum of 300A (typically 500A) adjustment around the initial low-scale output current. This is an output current adjustment which is independent of the input stage gain set MEASUREMENT TEMPERATURE SPAN T (C) TMIN 100C 200C 300C 400C 500C 600C 700C 800C -200C 18/90 653 18/185 838 18/286 996 18/396 1087 18/515 1131 18/645 1152 18/788 1159 18/946 18/1120 18/1317 1158 1154 1140 900C 1000C -100C 60/84 1105 60/173 1229 60/270 1251 60/374 1249 60/487 1231 60/610 1207 60/746 1181 60/895 60/1061 1155 1128 0C 100/81 1287 100/167 100/260 100/361 100/469 100/588 100/718 100/860 1258 1229 1201 1173 1145 1117 1089 100C 138/78 1211 138/162 138/252 138/349 138/453 138/567 138/691 1183 1155 1127 1100 1073 1046 200C 175/76 1137 175/157 175/244 175/337 175/437 175/546 1110 1083 1056 1030 1003 300C 212/73 1066 212/152 212/235 212/325 212/422 1039 1013 987 962 400C 247/71 996 247/146 247/227 247/313 971 946 921 500C 280/68 930 280/141 280/219 905 881 600C 313/66 865 313/136 841 700C 345/64 803 800C 375/61 743 RZ /RG (Values are in .)

(R) 7 XTR103 Figure 4, shows a three-wire RTD connection for improved accuracy with remotely located RTDs. RZ's current is routed through a third wire to the RTD. Assuming line resistance is equal in RTD lines 1 and 2, this produces a small commonmode voltage which is rejected by the XTR103. (a) XTR103 16 2 OPEN-CIRCUIT DETECTION 1 10k 500A typical output current adjustment range. The optional transistor Q2 in Figure 4 provides predictable behavior with open-circuit RTD connections. It assures that if any one of the three RTD connections is broken, the XTR103's output current will go to either its high current limit (34mA) or low current limit (3.6mA). This is easily detected as an out-of-range condition. (b) XTR103 16 REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION 2 1 5k 5k Figure 5 shows two ways to protect against reversed output connection lines. Trade-offs in an application will determine which technique is better. D1 offers series protection, but causes a 0.7V loss in loop supply voltage. This may be undesirable if V+ can approach the 9V limit. Using D2 (without D1) has no voltage loss, but high current will flow in the loop supply if the leads are reversed. This could damage the power supply or the sense resistor, RL. A diode with a higher current rating is needed for D2 to withstand the highest current that could occur with reversed lines. 50A typical output current adjustment range. FIGURE 3. Low-scale Output Current Adjustment. with RG. If the input stage is set for high gain (as required with narrow temperature measurement spans) the output current adjustment may not provide sufficient range. In these cases, offset can be nulled by adjusting the value of RZ. SURGE PROTECTION TWO-WIRE AND THREE-WIRE RTD CONNECTIONS Long lines are subject to voltage surges which can damage semiconductor components. To avoid damage, the maximum applied voltage rating for the XTR103 is 40V. A zener diode may be used for D2 (Figure 6) to clamp the voltage applied to the XTR103 to a safe level. The loop power supply voltage must be lower than the voltage rating of the zener diode. In Figure 1, the RTD can be located remotely simply by extending the two connections to the RTD. With this twowire connection to the RTD, line resistance will introduce error. This error can be partially corrected by adjusting the values of RZ, RG, and RLIN. Equal line resistances here creates a small common-mode voltage which is rejected by XTR103. 13 4 (RLINE) 1 RZ 5 2 RTD Resistance in this line causes a small common-mode voltage which is rejected by XTR103.

These devices normally have a diode characteristic in the forward direction which also protects against reversed loop connections. As noted earlier, reversed loop connections would produce a large loop current, possibly damaging RL. If the RTD sensor is remotely located, the interference may enter at the input terminals. For integrated transmitter assemblies with short connection to the sensor, the interference more likely comes from the current loop connections. Bypass capacitors on the input often reduce or eliminate this interference. Connect these bypass capacitors to the IO terminal as shown in Figure 7. Although the DC voltage at the IO terminal is not equal to 0V (at the loop supply, VPS) this circuit point can be considered the transmitter's "ground". RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency interference. RF can be rectified by the sensitive input circuitry of the XTR103 causing errors. This generally appears as an unstable output current that varies with the position of loop supply or input wiring. 1N4148 D1 Use either D1 or D2.

The loop power supply, VPS, provides power for all circuitry. Output loop current is measured as a voltage across the series load resistor, RL. IO = 4mA + VIN * (40/RG) (VIN in volts, RG in ohms) where VIN is the differential input voltage. As evident from the transfer function, if no RG is used the gain is zero and the output is simply the XTR105's zero current. The value of RG varies slightly for two-wire RTD and three-wire RTD connections with linearization. RG can be calculated from the equations given in Figure 1 (two-wire RTD connection) and Table I (three-wire RTD connection). Two matched 0.8mA current sources drive the RTD and zero-setting resistor, RZ. The instrumentation amplifier input of the XTR105 measures the voltage difference between the RTD and RZ. The value of RZ is chosen to be equal to the resistance of the RTD at the low-scale (minimum) measurement temperature. RZ can be adjusted to achieve 4mA output at the minimum measurement temperature to correct for input offset voltage and reference current mismatch of the XTR105. The IRET pin is the return path for all current from the current sources and VREG. The IRET pin allows any current used in external circuitry to be sensed by the XTR105 and to be included in the output current without causing an error. RCM provides an additional voltage drop to bias the inputs of the XTR105 within their common-mode input range. RCM should be bypassed with a 0.01F capacitor to minimize common-mode noise. Resistor RG sets the gain of the instrumentation amplifier according to the desired temperature range. RLIN1 provides second-order linearization correction to the RTD, typically achieving a 40:1 improvement in linearity. An additional resistor is required for three-wire RTD connections, see Figure 3. The VREG pin provides an on-chip voltage source of approximately 5.1V and is suitable for powering external input circuitry (refer to Figure 6). It is a moderately accurate voltage reference--it is not the same reference used to set the 800A current references. VREG is capable of sourcing approximately 1mA of current. Exceeding 1mA may affect the 4mA zero output. IR = 0.8mA Possible choices for Q1 (see text).

Basic Two-Wire RTD Temperature Measurement Circuit with Linearization. (R) 7 XTR105 LOOP POWER SUPPLY A negative input voltage, VIN, will cause the output current to be less than 4mA. Increasingly negative VIN will cause the output current to limit at approximately 2.2mA. Refer to the typical curve "Under-Scale Current vs Temperature." The voltage applied to the XTR105, V+, is measured with respect to the IO connection, pin 7. V+ can range from 7.5V to 36V. The loop supply voltage, VPS, will differ from the voltage applied to the XTR105 according to the voltage drop on the current sensing resistor, RL (plus any other voltage drop in the line). Increasingly positive input voltage (greater than the fullscale input) will produce increasing output current according to the transfer function, up to the output current limit of approximately 27mA. Refer to the typical curve "OverScale Current vs Temperature." If a low loop supply voltage is used, RL (including the loop wiring resistance) must be made a relatively low value to assure that V+ remains 7.5V or greater for the maximum loop current of 20mA: EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR Transistor Q1 conducts the majority of the signal-dependent 4-20mA loop current. Using an external transistor isolates the majority of the power dissipation from the precision input and reference circuitry of the XTR105, maintaining excellent accuracy. R L max = (V+) - 7.5V - R WIRING 20mA It is recommended to design for V+ equal or greater than 7.5V with loop currents up to 30mA to allow for out-ofrange input conditions. Since the external transistor is inside a feedback loop its characteristics are not critical. Requirements are: VCEO = 45V min, = 40 min and PD = 800mW. Power dissipation requirements may be lower if the loop power supply voltage is less than 36V. Some possible choices for Q1 are listed in Figure 1. The low operating voltage (7.5V) of the XTR105 allows operation directly from personal computer power supplies (12V 5%). When used with the RCV420 Current Loop Receiver (Figure 7), load resistor voltage drop is limited to 3V. The XTR105 can be operated without this external transistor, however, accuracy will be somewhat degraded due to the internal power dissipation. Operation without Q1 is not recommended for extended temperature ranges. A resistor (R = 3.3k) connected between the IRET pin and the E (emitter) pin may be needed for operation below 0C without Q1 to guarantee the full 20mA full-scale output, especially with V+ near 7.5V. ADJUSTING INITIAL ERRORS Many applications require adjustment of initial errors. Input offset and reference current mismatch errors can be corrected by adjustment of the zero resistor, RZ. Adjusting the gain-setting resistor, RG, corrects any errors associated with gain. TWO-WIRE AND THREE-WIRE RTD CONNECTIONS In Figure 1, the RTD can be located remotely simply by extending the two connections to the RTD. With this remote two-wire connection to the RTD, line resistance will introduce error. This error can be partially corrected by adjusting the values of RZ, RG, and RLIN1. 10 V+ E XTR105 A better method for remotely located RTDs is the three-wire RTD connection shown in Figure 3. This circuit offers improved accuracy. RZ's current is routed through a third wire to the RTD. Assuming line resistance is equal in RTD lines 1 and 2, this produces a small common-mode voltage which is rejected by the XTR105. A second resistor, RLIN2, is required for linearization. 8 0.01F IO 7 IRET 6 RQ = 3.3k Note that although the two-wire and three-wire RTD connection circuits are very similar, the gain-setting resistor, RG, has slightly different equations: For operation without external transistor, connect a 3.3k resistor between pin 6 and pin 8. See text for discussion of performance. Two-wire: RG = FIGURE 2. Operation Without External Transistor.

Determine the values for RS, RG, RLIN1, and RLIN2. Look up the values from the chart or calculate the values according to the equations provided. METHOD 1: TABLE LOOK UP For TMIN = -100C and T = -300C, the 1% values are: RZ = 60.4 RLIN1 = 10.5k RG = 243 RLIN2 = 13k METHOD 2: CALCULATION Calculation of Pt100 Resistance Values Step 1: Determine RZ, R1, and R2. (according to DIN IEC 751) RZ is the RTD resistance at the minimum measured temperature,TMIN = -100C. Using equation (1) at right gives RZ = 60.25 (1% value is 60.4). R2 is the RTD resistance at the maximum measured temperature, TMAX = 200C. Using equation (2) at right gives R2 = 175.84. R1 is the RTD resistance at the midpoint measured temperature, TMID = (TMIN + TMAX) /2 = 50C. R1 is NOT the average of RZ and R2. Using equation (2) at right gives R1 = 119.40. Equation (1) Temperature range from -200C to 0C: R(T) = 100 [1 + 3.90802 * 10-3 * T - 0.5802 * 10-6 * T2 - 4.27350 * 10-12 (T - 100) T3] Equation (2) Temperature range from 0C to +850C: R(T) = 100 (1 + 3.90802 * 10-3 * T - 0.5802 * 10-6 * T2) where: R(T) is the resistance in at temperature T. T is the temperature in C. Step 2: Calculate RG, RLIN1, and RLIN2 using equations above. NOTE: Most RTD manufacturers provide reference tables for resistance values at various temperatures. RG = 242.3 (1% value is 243) RLIN1 = 10.413k (1% value is 10.5k) RLIN2 = 12.936k (1% value is 13k) TABLE I. RZ, RG, RLIN1, and RLIN2 Standard 1% Resistor Values for Three-Wire Pt100 RTD Connection with Linearization. LINEARIZATION RTD temperature sensors are inherently (but predictably) nonlinear. With the addition of one or two external resistors, RLIN1 and RLIN2, it is possible to compensate for most of this nonlinearity resulting in 40:1 improvement in linearity over the uncompensated output. To maintain good accuracy, at least 1% (or better) resistors should be used for RG. Table I provides standard 1% RG resistor values for a three-wire Pt100 RTD connection with linearization. (R) 9 XTR105 A typical two-wire RTD application with linearization is shown in Figure 1. Resistor RLIN1 provides positive feedback and controls linearity correction. RLIN1 is chosen according to the desired temperature range. An equation is given in Figure 1. RCM can be adjusted to provide an additional voltage drop to bias the inputs of the XTR105 within their common-mode input range. In three-wire RTD connections, an additional resistor, RLIN2, is required. As with the two-wire RTD application, RLIN1 provides positive feedback for linearization. RLIN2 provides an offset canceling current to compensate for wiring resistance encountered in remotely located RTDs. RLIN1 and RLIN2 are chosen such that their currents are equal. This makes the voltage drop in the wiring resistance to the RTD a commonmode signal which is rejected by the XTR105. The nearest standard 1% resistor values for RLIN1 and RLIN2 should be adequate for most applications. Table I provides the 1% resistor values for a three-wire Pt100 RTD connection. Table II shows how to calculate the effect various error sources have on circuit accuracy. A sample error calculation for a typical RTD measurement circuit (Pt100 RTD, 200C measurement span) is provided. The results reveal the XTR105's excellent accuracy, in this case 1.1% unadjusted. Adjusting resistors RG and RZ for gain and offset errors improves circuit accuracy to 0.32%. Note that these are worst case errors; guaranteed maximum values were used in the calculations and all errors were assumed to be positive (additive). The XTR105 achieves performance which is difficult to obtain with discrete circuitry and requires less space. ERROR ANALYSIS If no linearity correction is desired, the VLIN pin should be left open. With no linearization, RG = 2500 * VFS, where VFS = full-scale input range. OPEN-CIRCUIT PROTECTION The optional transistor Q2 in Figure 3 provides predictable behavior with open-circuit RTD connections. It assures that if any one of the three RTD connections is broken, the XTR105's output current will go to either its high current limit (27mA) or low current limit (2.2mA). This is easily detected as an out-of-range condition. RTDs The text and figures thus far have assumed a Pt100 RTD.

TABLE II. Error Calculation. (R) 11 XTR105 REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION Most surge protection zener diodes have a diode characteristic in the forward direction that will conduct excessive current, possibly damaging receiving-side circuitry if the loop connections are reversed. If a surge protection diode is used, a series diode or diode bridge should be used for protection against reversed connections. The XTR105's low compliance rating (7.5V) permits the use of various voltage protection methods without compromising operating range. Figure 4 shows a diode bridge circuit which allows normal operation even when the voltage connection lines are reversed. The bridge causes a two diode drop (approximately 1.4V) loss in loop supply voltage. This results in a compliance voltage of approximately 9V--satisfactory for most applications. If 1.4V drop in loop supply is too much, a diode can be inserted in series with the loop supply voltage and the V+ pin. This protects against reverse output connection lines with only a 0.7V loss in loop supply voltage. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency interference. RF can be rectified by the sensitive input circuitry of the XTR105 causing errors. This generally appears as an unstable output current that varies with the position of loop supply or input wiring. If the RTD sensor is remotely located, the interference may enter at the input terminals. For integrated transmitter assemblies with short connection to the sensor, the interference more likely comes from the current loop connections. SURGE PROTECTION Remote connections to current transmitters can sometimes be subjected to voltage surges. It is prudent to limit the maximum surge voltage applied to the XTR105 to as low as practical. Various zener diode and surge clamping diodes are specially designed for this purpose. Select a clamp diode with as low a voltage rating as possible for best protection. For example, a 36V protection diode will assure proper transmitter operation at normal loop voltages, yet will provide an appropriate level of protection against voltage surges. Characterization tests on three production lots showed no damage to the XTR105 within loop supply voltages up to 65V. Bypass capacitors on the input reduce or eliminate this input interference. Connect these bypass capacitors to the IRET terminal as shown in Figure 5. Although the dc voltage at the IRET terminal is not equal to 0V (at the loop supply, VPS) this circuit point can be considered the transmitter's "ground." The 0.01F capacitor connected between V+ and IO may help minimize output interference. NOTE: (1) Zener Diode 36V: 1N4753A or General Semiconductor TransorbTM 1N6286A. Use lower voltage zener diodes with loop power supply voltages less than 30V for increased protection.
