THEORY OF OPERATION
Refer to the figure on the first page. For 0 to 5V output with
4–20mA input, the required transimpedance of the circuit is:
VOUT /IIN = 5V/16mA = 0.3125V/mA.
To achieve the desired output (0V for 4mA and 5V for
20mA), the output of the amplifier must be offset by an
amount:
VOS = –(4mA)(0.3125V/mA) = –1.25V.
The input current signal is connected to either +In or –In,
depending on the polarity of the signal, and returned to
ground through the center tap, CT. The balanced input—two
matched 75Ω sense resistors, RS—provides maximum rejec-
tion of common-mode voltage signals on CT and true differ-
ential current-to-voltage conversion. The sense resistors
convert the input current signal into a proportional voltage,
which is amplified by the differential amplifier. The voltage
gain of the amplifier is:
AD = 5V/(16mA)(75Ω) = 4.1667V/V.
The tee network in the feedback path of the amplifier
provides a summing junction used to generate the required
–1.25V offset voltage. The input resistor network provides
high-input impedance and attenuates common-mode input
voltages to levels suitable for the operational amplifier’s
common-mode signal capabilities.
necessary level shifting. If the Ref In pin is not used for level
shifting, then it must be grounded to maintain high CMR.
GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
Figure 2 shows the circuit for adjusting the RCV420 gain.
Increasing the gain of the RCV420 is accomplished by
inserting a small resistor in the feedback path of the ampli-
fier. Increasing the gain using this technique results in CMR
degradation, and therefore, gain adjustments should be kept
as small as possible. For example, a 1% increase in gain is
typically realized with a 125Ω resistor, which degrades
CMR by about 6dB.
A decrease in gain can be achieved by placing matched
resistors in parallel with the sense resistors, also shown in
Figure 2. The adjusted gain is given by the following
expression
VOUT/IIN = 0.3125 x RX /(RX + RS).
A 1% decrease in gain can be achieved with a 7.5kΩ
resistor. It is important to match the parallel resistance on
each sense resistor to maintain high CMR. The TCR mis-
match between the two external resistors will effect gain
error drift and CMR drift.
There are two methods for nulling the RCV420 output offset
voltage. The first method applies to applications using the
internal 10V reference for level shifting. For these applica-

tions, the voltage reference output trim procedure can be
used to null offset errors at the output of the RCV420. The
voltage reference trim circuit is discussed under “Voltage
Reference.”
When the voltage reference is not used for level shifting or
when large offset adjustments are required, the circuit in
Figure 3 can be used for offset adjustment. A low impedance
on the Rcv Com pin is required to maintain high CMR.
ZERO ADJUSTMENT
Level shifting the RCV420 output voltage can be achieved
using either the Ref In pin or the Rcv Com pin. The
disadvantage of using the Ref In pin is that there is an 8:1
voltage attenuation from this pin to the output of the RCV420.
Thus, use the Rcv Com pin for large offsets, because the
voltage on this pin is seen directly at the output. Figure 4
shows the circuit used to level-shift the output of the RCV420

using the Rcv Com pin. It is important to use a low-output
impedance amplifier to maintain high CMR. With this method
of zero adjustment, the Ref In pin must be connected to the
Rcv Com pin.
MAINTAINING COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Two factors are important in maintaining high CMR: (1)
resistor matching and tracking (the internal resistor network
does this) and (2) source impedance. CMR depends on the
accurate matching of several resistor ratios. The high accu-
racies needed to maintain the specified CMR and CMR
temperature coefficient are difficult and expensive to reli-
ably achieve with discrete components. Any resistance im-
balance introduced by external circuitry directly affects
CMR. These imbalances can occur by: mismatching sense
resistors when gain is decreased, adding resistance in the
feedback path when gain is increased, and adding series
resistance on the Rcv Com pin.
The two sense resistors are laser-trimmed to typically match
within 0.01%; therefore, when adding parallel resistance to
decrease gain, take care to match the parallel resistance on
the gain of the RCV420, keep the series resistance added to
the feedback network as small as possible. Whether the Rcv
VO
Com pin is grounded or connected to a voltage reference for
level shifting, keep the series resistance on this pin as low as
possible. For example, a resistance of 20Ω on this pin
+15V
degrades CMR from 86dB to approximately 80dB. For
100kΩ
applications requiring better than 86dB CMR, the circuit
100kΩ shown in Figure 5 can be used to adjust CMR.

PROTECTING THE SENSE RESISTOR

The 75Ω sense resistors are designed for a maximum con-
tinuous current of 40mA, but can withstand as much as
250mA for up to 0.1s (see absolute maximum ratings).
There are several ways to protect the sense resistor from

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check
http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
