OPERATION
LTC2630
Optoisolated 4mA to 20mA Process Controller
Figure 5 shows how to use an LTC2630HZ to make an
optoisolated, digitally-controlled 4mA to 20mA transmit-
ter. The transmitter circuitry, including optoisolation, is
powered by the loop voltage which has a wide range of
5.4V to 80V. The 5V output of the LT
set the 4mA offset current and V
control the 0mA to 16mA signal current. The supply cur-
rent for the regulator, DAC, and op amp is well below
the 4mA budget at zero scale. R

loop voltage of 80V, Q1 will dissipate 1.6W when I
20mA and must have an appropriate heat sink.

for controlling a 4mA to 20mA output as the digital input
varies from zero scale to full scale. Alternatively, R
can be a 365k, 1% resistor in series with a 20k trim pot
and R
trim pot. The optoisolators shown will limit the speed of
the serial bus; the 6N139 is an alternative that will allow
higher data rates.
