DESCRIPTION
2.0
Uncorrected
Bridge Output
The XTR106 is a low cost, monolithic 4-20mA, twowire current transmitter designed for bridge sensors. It
provides complete bridge excitation (2.5V or 5V reference), instrumentation amplifier, sensor linearization,
and current output circuitry. Current for powering additional external input circuitry is available from the
VREG pin.
The instrumentation amplifier can be used over a wide
range of gain, accommodating a variety of input signal
types and sensors. Total unadjusted error of the complete current transmitter, including the linearized bridge,
is low enough to permit use without adjustment in many
applications. The XTR106 operates on loop power supply voltages down to 7.5V.
Linearization circuitry provides second-order correction
to the transfer function by controlling bridge excitation
voltage. It provides up to a 20:1 improvement in
nonlinearity, even with low cost transducers.
The XTR106 is available in 14-pin plastic DIP and
SO-14 surface-mount packages and is specified for the
40C to +85C temperature range. Operation is from
55C to +125C.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Increasingly positive input voltage (greater than the fullscale input, VFS) will produce increasing output current
according to the transfer function, up to the output current
limit of approximately 28mA. Refer to the Typical Performance Curve, Over-Scale Current vs Temperature.
The IRET pin is the return path for all current from the
references and VREG. IRET also serves as a local ground and
is the reference point for VREG and the on-board voltage
references. The IRET pin allows any current used in external
circuitry to be sensed by the XTR106 and to be included in
the output current without causing error. The input voltage
range of the XTR106 is referred to this pin.

BRIDGE BALANCE
Figure 1 shows a bridge trim circuit (R1, R2). This adjustment can be used to compensate for the initial accuracy of
the bridge and/or to trim the offset voltage of the XTR106.
The values of R1 and R2 depend on the impedance of the
bridge, and the trim range required. This trim circuit places
an additional load on the VREF output. Be sure the additional
load on VREF does not affect zero output. See the Typical
Performance Curve, Under-Scale Current vs IREF + IREG.
The effective load of the trim circuit is nearly equal to R2.

UNDER-SCALE CURRENT
The total current being drawn from the VREF and VREG
voltage sources, as well as temperature, affect the XTR106s
under-scale current value (see the Typical Performance
Curve, Under-Scale Current vs IREF + IREG). This should be
considered when choosing the bridge resistance and excitation voltage, especially for transducers operating over a
wide temperature range (see the Typical Performance Curve,
Under-Scale Current vs Temperature).

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.

power supply voltages less than 30V for increased
protection. See Over-Voltage Surge Protection.
