Texas Instruments 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. Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those specified is not implied.

Power dissipation in this transistor can approach 0.8W with high loop voltage (40V) and 20mA output current. The XTR117 is designed to use an external transistor to avoid on-chip, thermal-induced errors. Heat produced by Q1 will still cause ambient temperature changes that can influence the XTR117 performance. To minimize these effects, locate Q1 away from sensitive analog circuitry, including XTR117. Mount Q1 so that heat is conducted to the outside of the transducer housing. The XTR117 is a precision current output converter designed to transmit analog 4-20mA signals over an industry-standard current loop. Figure 1 shows basic circuit connections with representative simplified input circuitry. The XTR117 is a two-wire current transmitter. Its input current (pin 2) controls the output current. A portion of the output current flows into the V+ power supply, pin 7. The remaining current flows in Q1. External input circuitry connected to the XTR117 can be powered from VREG. Current drawn from these terminals must be returned to IRET, pin 3. The IRET pin is a local ground for input circuitry driving the XTR117. The XTR117 is designed to use virtually any NPN transistor with sufficient voltage, current and power rating. Case style and thermal mounting considerations often influence the choice for any given application. Several possible choices are listed in Figure 1. A MOSFET transistor will not improve the accuracy of the XTR117 and is not recommended. The XTR117 is a current-input device with a gain of 100. A current flowing into pin 2 produces IO = 100 x IIN. The input voltage at the IIN pin is zero (referred to the IRET pin). A voltage input is converted to an input current with an external input resistor, RIN, as shown in Figure 1. Typical full-scale input voltages range from 1V and upward. Full-scale inputs greater than 0.5V are recommend to minimize the effects of offset voltage and drift of A1. For improved precision use an external voltage reference.

Basic Circuit Connections 5 XTR117 www.ti.com SBOS344C - SEPTEMBER 2005 - REVISED MAY 2012 MINIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT The quiescent current of the XTR117 (typically 130A) is the lower limit of its output current. Zero input current (IIN = 0) will produce an IO equal to the quiescent current. Output current will not begin to increase until IIN > IQ/100. Current drawn from VREG will be added to this minimum output current. Up to 3.8mA is available to power external circuitry while still allowing the output current to go below 4mA. The XTR117 provides accurate, linear output up to 25mA. Internal circuitry limits the output current to approximately 32mA to protect the transmitter and loop power/measurement circuitry. It is possible to extend the output current range of the XTR117 by connecting an external resistor from pin 3 to pin 5, to change the current limit value. Since all output current must flow through internal resistors, it is possible to cause internal damage with excessive current. Output currents greater than 45mA may cause permanent damage. OFFSETTING THE INPUT A low-scale output of 4mA is produced by creating a 40A input current. This input current can be created with the proper value resistor from an external reference voltage (VREF) as shown in Figure 2. VREG can be used as shown in Figure 2 but will not have the temperature stability of a high quality reference such as the REF3125. VREF (2.5V) or VREG ................... 8 RIN 62.5k REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION The XTR117 low compliance voltage rating (minimum operating voltage) of 7.5V permits the use of various voltage protection methods without compromising operating range. Figure 3 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 voltage drop results in a compliance voltage of approximately 9V--satisfactory for most applications. A diode can be inserted in series with the loop supply voltage and the V+ pin to protect against reverse output connection lines with only a 0.7V loss in loop supply voltage.

NOTE: (1) Some examples of zener diodes include: P6KE51 or 1N4755A. Use lower voltage zener diodes with loop power-supply voltages < 30V for increased protection. See Over-voltage Surge Protection. Figure 3. Reverse Voltage Operation and Over-Voltage Surge Protection 6 VL OO P XTR117 www.ti.com SBOS344C - SEPTEMBER 2005 - REVISED MAY 2012 OVER-VOLTAGE 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 XTR117 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. Absolute maximum power-supply rating on the XTR117 is specified at +50V. Keep overvoltages and transients below +50V to ensure reliable operation when the supply returns to normal (7.5V to 40V). 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. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency (RF) interference. RF interference can be rectified by the input circuitry of the XTR117 or preceding circuitry. This effect generally appears as an unstable output current that varies with the position of loop supply or input wiring. Interference may also enter at the input terminals. For integrated transmitter assemblies with short connections to the sensor, the interference more likely comes from the current loop connections.

Figure 5. Complete 4-20mA Pressure Transducer Solution with PGA309 and XTR117 DFN PACKAGE LAYOUT GUIDELINES The XTR117 is offered in a DFN-8 package (also known as SON). The DFN is a QFN package with lead contacts on only two sides of the bottom of the package. This leadless package maximizes board space and enhances thermal and electrical characteristics through an exposed pad. The exposed leadframe die pad on the DFN package should be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB. A mechanical drawing showing an example layout is attached at the end of this data sheet. Refinements to this layout may be required based on assembly process requirements. Mechanical drawings located at the end of this data sheet list the physical dimensions for the package and pad. The five holes in the landing pattern are optional, and are intended for use with thermal vias that connect the leadframe die pad to the heatsink area on the PCB. DFN packages are physically small, have a smaller routing area, improved thermal performance, and improved electrical parasitics. Additionally, the absence of external leads eliminates bent-lead issues. The DFN package can be easily mounted using standard printed circuit board (PCB) assembly techniques. See Application Note, QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271) and Application Report, Quad Flatpack No-Lead Logic Packages (SCBA017), both available for download at www.ti.com. The exposed leadframe die pad on the bottom of the package should be connected to IRET or left unconnected. 8 Soldering the exposed pad significantly improves board-level reliability during temperature cycling, key push, package shear, and similar board-level tests. Even with applications that have low power dissipation, the exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB to provide structural integrity and long-term stability.
