TIDA-01504

Highly-Accurate, Loop-Powered, 4mA to 20mA Field Transmitter With HART® Modem Reference Design

TIDA-01504

Design files

Overview

This reference design provides a solution for a loop-powered, highly-accurate, field (sensor) transmitter with a HART® modem. The design uses a partially-discrete 4-mA to 20-mA current transmitter, HART modem, microcontroller, and power conditioning blocks in realizing a smart field transmitter design. The design is compliant with the HART FSK Physical Layer Specification and has been registered with FieldComm Group™.

Features
  • Loop-powered, 4-mA to 20-mA current transmitter with DAC8740H HART modem and onboard power conditioning blocks
  • Less than 0.1% FSR total unadjusted error at room temperature
  • External protection circuitry with reverse polarity protection
  • Compliant with HART FSK Physical Layer Specification and registered HART device
