SBOS187C – OCTOBER 2001 – REVISED JULY 2005  
4-20mA, TWO-WIRE TRANSMITTER  
“Smart” Programmable with Signal Conditioning  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
COMPLETE TRANSMITTER + RTD  
The XTR108 is a “smart,” programmable, 4-20mA, two-wire  
transmitter designed for temperature and bridge sensors.  
Zero, span, and linearization errors in the analog signal  
path can be calibrated via a standard digital serial interface,  
eliminating manual trimming. Non-volatile external EEPROM  
stores calibration settings.  
LINEARIZATION  
TWO-WIRE, 4-20mA OUTPUT  
VOLTAGE OUTPUT (0.5V to 4.5V)  
ELIMINATES POTENTIOMETERS AND  
TRIMMING  
The all-analog signal path contains an input multiplexer,  
autozeroed programmable-gain instrumentation amplifier, dual  
programmable current sources, linearization circuit, voltage  
reference, sub-regulator, internal oscillator, control logic, and  
an output current amplifier. Programmable level shifting  
compensates for sensor DC offsets. Selectable  
up- and down-scale output indicates out-of-range and burn-  
out per NAMUR NE43. Automatic reset is initiated when  
supply is lost.

STRAIN GAGE TRANSMITTERS  
SCADA REMOTE DATA ACQUISITION  
WEIGHING SYSTEMS  
Current sources, steered through the multiplexer, can be  
used to directly excite RTD temperature sensors, pressure  
bridges, or other transducers. An uncommitted op amp can  
be used to convert current into a voltage. The XTR108 is  
specified for –40°C to +85°C.

OVERVIEW  
The XTR108 is a 4-20mA current-loop transmitter that  
allows the user to digitally adjust the gain, offset, and  
linearity correction of the analog output to calibrate the  
sensor. The digital data for adjustment are stored in an  
external EEPROM device.

Calibration  
System  
The analog signal path is composed of a compound multi-  
plexer (MUX), programmable gain instrumentation amplifier  
(PGA), and an output current amplifier. Analog support func-  
tions include digitally controlled current sources for sensor  
excitation, PGA offset control, linearization, voltage refer-  
ence, and voltage regulator.

XTR108  
IO  
The digital interface communicates with external devices for  
calibration and to store the resultant data in an SPI compat-  
ible EEPROM. A complete system is shown in Figure 1. The  
XTR108 serial interface is SPI compatible and only requires  
four connections to the calibration controller: a serial clock  
(SCLK), a serial data line (SDIO), a chip select line (CS1),  
and a ground sense line. All logic signals to the XTR108  
must be referenced to the potential of the ground sense line  
(IRET pin on the XTR108).

FIGURE 1. Complete System Level Configuration with  
Three Unique Ground Voltage Levels.  
Within this entire system there may exist three different  
“GND” voltage levels. In addition, the voltage difference  
between the IRET and IO potential will depend on the output  
current level. It is not certain that the “GND” potential of the  
calibration system will be at the same potential of either the  
IRET or IO potential, and therefore the isolation couplers are  
shown in Figure 1. All voltages specified for the XTR108  
are with reference to the IRET pin.  
The XTR108 also needs to communicate with the external  
EEPROM device independently from the calibration control-  
ler to retrieve the calibration constants during normal opera-  
tion. The XTR108 provides a second chip select function  
(CS2) for the EEPROM device to facilitate this communica-  
tion.

If over-scale and under-scale limiting is disabled, the PGA  
can be used with rail-to-rail voltage output, for example, in  
applications that require a 0.5V to 4.5V voltage scale.  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
REFERENCE  
The XTR108 has an on-board precision bandgap voltage  
reference with output at pin 21 (REFOUT). The value of the  
reference is factory-trimmed to 1.193V, with a typical tem-  
perature drift of 5ppm/°C. Pins 21 (REFOUT) and 20 (REFIN)  
must be connected together to use the internal reference.  
The PGA uses advanced auto-zero circuit techniques to achieve  
high DC precision, and reduce mismatches and errors within  
the chip such as input offset, offset temperature drift, and low-  
frequency noise (see the input noise typical characteristic).  
The basic clock frequency of the auto-zero loop is about  
6.5kHz. Due to the switching nature of the auto-zero circuit,  
the output of the PGA can have a noticeable clock feed-  
through ripple in higher gains. This noise can be reduced by  
External circuitry, such as a voltage excited sensor or an  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), can be connected to the  
REFOUT pin. The unbuffered REFOUT is capable of sourcing  
current but not sinking.  
the addition of a 0.01µF capacitor between pin 7 (CFILTER  
)
and the local ground, pin 12 (IRET). This creates a one-pole  
low-pass filter with –3dB frequency at about 1.5kHz. If  
wider bandwidth or faster settling time is needed, the CFILTER  
can be reduced or eliminated at the expense of higher glitch  
amplitude at the output. Please refer to the typical step  
response traces for settling time comparisons.  
If the application necessitates, an external reference can be  
connected to the XTR108 REFIN pin, as long as the reference  
does not exceed 1.4V. The REFIN pin has a high input  
impedance with the input current not exceeding a few  
nanoamps.  
INPUT MULTIPLEXER  
ZERO DACS  
The XTR108 input multiplexer is a full 6 by (2+2) cross-  
point switch. The current references and PGA inputs can be  
independently connected to any of the six external pins,  
including simultaneous connections to the same pin. This  
allows a great flexibility in the sensor excitation and input  
configuration. The input pins must not be driven below the  
IRET potential or above VS.  
Two output-referred, 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters  
(DACs) (coarse and fine with a pedestal) set the zero level of  
the PGA output. They allow setting a desired zero-scale  
output level and compensate the initial offset at the PGA input  
due to the sensor and resistor mismatches, sensor non-ideali-  
ties, etc. Both coarse and fine DACs are bidirectional and  
allow the output level to be set above or below a preset  
pedestal.  
See Figure 2 for an RTD sensor connected to pin VIN0 with  
both IREF supplied and PGA VIN+ sensed at that pin. The  
other five input pins are used for a bank of RZ resistors that  
can be selected during the calibration process for a particular  
measurement range.  
Output signals of the DACs, IZ COARSE and IZ FINE, are  
summed with the pedestal, IZ PROGRAM. Each of the DACs  
has 8-bit resolution (256 steps) with 4-bit overlap between  
the coarse and fine DACs. This means that one LSB of the  
coarse DAC is equal to 16 fine LSBs, and the full-scale  
range of the fine DAC is equal to 16 coarse LSBs. This  
effectively produces 12-bit adjustment resolution.  
PROGRAMMABLE GAIN  
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER  
The programmable gain instrumentation amplifier has seven  
voltage-gain settings in binary steps from 6.25V/V to 400V/V.  
The input common-mode range of the PGA is 0.2V to 3.5V  
above the IRET potential.  
This overlap allows the user to set pre-calculated values  
before the calibration, using the coarse DAC only and adjust  
the zero output level with the fine DAC during the calibra-  
tion process see Table II for the equations for calculating the  
value of the output when zero differential voltage is applied  
at the PGA input. For the adjustment range, LSB sizes, and  
linearity values of the Zero DACs, please refer to the  
electrical characteristics table.  
Normally, in the application for 4-20mA transmitters, the  
PGA output voltage range should be set to VZERO = 0.5V and  
VFS = 2.5V. Connecting a resistor (RVI = 6.34k) between  
pin 9 (VO) and pin 10 (IIN) converts this voltage to the signal  
for the output amplifier that produces a 4-20mA scale  
current output. In this mode, the PGA voltage gain converts  
to an overall transconductance in the range of 50mA/V to  
3200mA/V (approximately). Table I shows the gain to  
transconductance relationship.  
Note that a DAC can be set to a value that produces an  
output below the under-scale level. In this case, the under-  
scale limit will prevent the output from getting to the desired  
value. The value of the minimum scale should not be set so  
low that the PGA voltage output, VO, goes below its speci-  
fied range of 0.2V from IRET  
.

matched internal resistors determines a current gain of this  
block. Note that the IOUT pin is always biased below the  
substrate potential.  
The circuit is designed for compliance with NAMUR NE43  
recommendation for sensor interfaces. The limit levels are  
listed in Tables VII and VIII. Because of the large step sizes,  
units that use this feature should be checked if the value is  
critical. The under-scale limit circuit will override the Zero  
DAC level if it is set lower and there is not enough sensor  
offset at the PGA input.  
EXCITATION CURRENT DACS AND RSET RESISTOR  
Two matched adjustable reference current sources are avail-  
able for sensor excitation. The defining equations are given  
in Table III. Both current sources are controlled simulta-  
neously by the coarse and fine DACs with a pedestal.  
It may be necessary to disable limiting if the XTR108 is used  
in applications other than a 4-20mA transmitter, where the  
PGA output is between 0.5V and 4.5V.  
The external resistor RSET is used to convert the REF voltage  
into the reference current for the sensor excitation DACs.  
The total current output of the DACs is split, producing two  
references: IREF1 and IREF2. Both of the current references  
match very closely over the full adjustment range without  
mismatched differential steps. Both current reference out-  
puts must be within the compliance range, i.e.: one reference  
cannot be floated since it will change the value of the other  
current source.  
SENSOR FAULT DETECTION CIRCUIT  
To detect sensor burnout and/or short, a set of four compara-  
tors is connected to the inputs of the PGA. If any of the  
inputs are taken outside of the PGA’s common-mode range,  
the corresponding comparator sets a sensor fault flag that  
causes the PGA output to go either to the upper or lower  
error limit. The state of the fault condition can be read in the  
digital form from register 3. The direction of the analog  
output is set according to the “Alarm Configuration Regis-  
ter” (see Table X). The level of the output is produced as  
follows: if the over-scale/under-scale limiting is enabled, the  
error levels are: over-scale limit +2LSBs of the over-scale  
DAC, about 1mA referred to IOUT or 0.125V referred to VO,  
of under-scale limit –2LSBs of the under-scale DAC, about  
0.4mA referred to IOUT or 0.05V referred to VO. If the over-  
scale/under-scale limiting is disabled, the PGA output volt-  
age will go to within 150mV of either positive or negative  
supply (VS or IRET), depending on the alarm configuration  
bit corresponding to the error condition.  
The recommended value of RSET is 12.1kfor use with  
100RTD sensors. This generates IREF1, 2 = 492µA currents  
when both coarse and fine DACs are set to zero. The value  
of the RSET resistor can be increased if lower reference  
currents are required, i.e.: for 1000RTD or a bridge  
sensor.

To produce the 4-20mA output, the XTR108 uses a current  
amplifier with a fixed gain of 50A/A. The voltage from the  
PGA is converted to current by the external resistor, RVI. Pin  
IRET, the common potential of the circuit (substrate and local  
ground), is connected to the output and inverting input of the  
amplifier. This allows collecting all external and internal  
supply currents, sensor return current, and leakage currents  
from the different parts of the system and accounting for  
them in the output current. The current from RVI flows into  
the pin IIN that is connected to the noninverting input and  
therefore, is at ground potential as well. The ratio of two

Similar to the Zero DACs, the outputs of the fine and coarse  
DAC are summed together with the pedestal IREF PROGRAM

means that one LSB of the coarse DAC is equal to 16 fine  
LSBs, and the full-scale range of the fine DAC is equal to 16  
coarse LSBs. This effectively produces 12-bit adjustment  
resolution. This allows the user to set pre-calculated values  
before the calibration, using the coarse DAC only and adjust  
the reference current output level with the fine DAC during  
the calibration process.

The XTR108 incorporates circuitry for correcting a second-

excitation. The RLIN resistor is used to convert this voltage  
into current. By appropriately scaling this current using the  
linearization DAC, parabolic sensor nonlinearity can be  
improved by up to a 40:1 ratio, as shown in Figure 3. The  
linearization coefficient (ratio of the reference current change  
to the input voltage) is expressed in µA/mV as follows:

where N14 is the decimal value from register 14.  
The recommended value of the resistor is 15.8k, for use  
with 100RTD sensors. This value produces a full-scale  
linearization coefficient of about 1mA/V. Please see the  
section below on using the XTR108 with an RTD tempera-  
ture sensor. If the sensor excitation is scaled down by  
increasing the value of RSET, the value of RLIN should be  
scaled proportionally.  
LOOP VOLTAGE  
The XTR108 transmitter minimum loop voltage can some-  
what be effected by the choice of the external MOSFET. The  
devices are tested to 7.5V compliance with Supertex DN2540;  
choosing other MOSFETs can change this value slightly.  
The maximum loop voltage is limited by the power dissipa-  
tion on the MOSFET as well as its breakdown voltage.  
Possible ambient temperatures and the power dissipation  
should be taken into account when selecting the MOSFET  
package. The external MOSFET can dissipate a consider-  
able amount of power when running at high loop supply. For  
example, if VLOOP = 24V and IOUT = 20mA, the DC power  
dissipated by the MOSFET is:

PMOSFET = IOUT (VLOOP – VS) = 380mΩ  
For a SOT-89 package soldered on an FR5 board, this will  
cause a 30°C rise in the temperature. The power dissipation  
gets significantly higher when the circuit is driven into an  
over-scale condition. Therefore, special attention should be  
paid to removing the heat from the MOSFET, especially  
with small-footprint packages such as SOT-89 and TO-92.  
Please follow manufacturer’s recommendations about the  
package thermal characteristics and board mounting.

circuit is incorporated in the device that requires an external

amp has rail-to-rail output range. The input range extends to

The uncommitted amplifier can be used for a variety of  
purposes, such as voltage sensor excitation, buffering the  
REFOUT pin, four-wire RTD connection, or sensing the  
bridge voltage for temperature compensation.  
CONTROL REGISTERS  
Table V shows the registers that control the analog functions  
of the XTR108.  
DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL REGISTERS  
Address = 0: Control Register 1  
POWER-GOOD/POWER-ON RESET  
In case of a supply brownout condition or short interruption,  
the XTR108 power-good detection circuit will initiate a chip  
reset that will cause all registers to be reset to 0’s and a cycle  
of EEPROM read to begin. The circuit generates a reset if  
VS droops below 1.5V and then recovers up to the normal  
level.  
If the RST bit is set to ‘1’ in a write operation, all the  
registers in the XTR108 will be returned to their power-on  
reset condition. The RST bit will always read as a ‘0’. CSE,  
the checksum error bit, is read only and will be set to ‘1’ if  
a checksum error has been detected. This bit is cleared by a  
reset operation or by detection of a valid checksum. The  
remaining bits are reserved and must be set to ‘0’.  
USING THE XTR108 IN VOLTAGE OUTPUT MODE  
Address = 3: Fault Status Register  
The XTR108 can be used not only in 4-20mA current loops,  
but also as a low-power, single-supply, "smart" sensor-  
conditioning chip with voltage output. In this mode,  
the IRET pin must be connected below ground  
(–200mV < IRET < –25mV). This negative voltage is  
required to overcome the input offset voltage of the output  
current amplifier and prevent it from turning on and drawing  
excessive current. An application circuit that generates this  
negative voltage using the XTR108 clock output and a  
simple charge pump is shown in the application section.  
This register is a read-only register. If the input voltage to  
the PGA exceeds the linear range of operation, the XTR108  
will indicate this error condition (typically caused by a  
sensor fault) by setting the under-scale or over-scale error  
level depending on the state of the Alarm Configuration  
Register (Address = 7). Information on the nature of the fault  
may be read in digital form from this register, as shown in  
Table VI. The remaining bits will be set to ‘0’.  
The sub-regulator with an external MOSFET may or may not  
be used. If the circuit is powered externally, the supply  
voltage must be in the range of 5V ±0.5V.

threshold level, as shown in Table VII and VIII, is the  
normal analog (no error condition) output limit. If an input  
voltage to the PGA exceeds the linear operation range, the

level is 10mA greater than the over-scale threshold level.  
The under-scale error level is 0.4mA less than the under-

Address = 9: IREF Output Configuration Register  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
PROTOCOL  
This register connects the reference currents to the various  
multiplexed input pins. IREF connection codes are given in  
Table XIII.  
The XTR108 has an SPI-compatible serial interface. The  
data is transmitted MSB first in 8-bit bytes. The first byte is  
an instruction byte in which the first bit is a read/write flag  
(‘0’ = write, ‘1’ = read), the lowest four bits are the register  
address and the remaining three bits are set to zero. The  
second, and all successive bytes, are data. During a write  
operation, the successive data bytes are written to successive  
registers within the XTR108. The address is automatically  
incremented at the completion of each byte. The SDIO line  
is always an input during a write operation. During a read  
operation, the SDIO line becomes an output during the  
second and successive bytes. As in the case of a write  
operation, the address is automatically incremented at the  
completion of each byte. Each communication transaction is  
terminated when CS1 is de-asserted. The CS2 line remains  
de-asserted during read and write operations.  
Address = 10: Fine IREF Adjust Register  
This register sets the code to the 8-bit Fine DAC that adjusts  
the magnitude of both reference currents. The DAC output  
value has a bipolar range (for each reference current) and  
can be calculated using the equations in Table III.

The calibration controller also needs to be able to read from  
and write to the external EEPROM device. This is accom-  
plished by sending a special instruction code (0x7F) to the  
XTR108. At the completion of this instruction byte, the  
XTR108 will assert the CS2 line to select the EEPROM  
device and ignore all data on the SDIO line until CS1 is de-  
asserted and reasserted. The CS2 line will also be de-  
asserted when CS1 is de-asserted. This allows the calibra-  
tion controller to communicate with the EEPROM device  
directly. The calibration controller then has control over the  
timing required to write data to the EEPROM device.

TABLE XIII. Register 9, IREF Output Configuration.  
Address = 11: Coarse IREF Adjust Register  
In normal operation, the XTR108 reads data from the EEPROM  
device to retrieve calibration coefficients. This is accom-  
plished by the read-back controller on the XTR108. The read-  
back controller is clocked by an on-chip oscillator and pro-  
vides stimulus to the EEPROM device over the SCLK, SDIO,  
and CS2 lines to perform the read operation, while simulta-  
neously providing stimulus to the serial interface controller in  
the XTR108. The read-back controller defaults to being active  
when the XTR108 is powered on and will be continuously  
active unless disabled. (It will start a new read operation as  
soon as the previous operation is completed, see Figure 4.) A  
control bit (RBD) is provided to allow the XTR108 to read the  
EEPROM once and then stop.  
This register sets the code to the 8-bit coarse DAC that adjusts  
the magnitude of both reference currents. The nominal value  
for the reference current (both Coarse and Fine adjust set to ‘0’)  
is IPROGRAM • 5. See Table III for formulas.  
Address = 12: Fine Zero-Adjust Register  
This register sets the code to the 8-bit Fine DAC that adjusts  
the magnitude of the zero output currents. Equations are  
given in Table II. Negative numbers are in Binary Two’s  
Complement.  
Address = 13: Coarse Zero-Adjust Register  
This register sets the code to the 8-bit Coarse DAC that  
adjusts the magnitude of zero-output current. See Table II  
for equations. Negative numbers are given in Binary Two’s  
Complement.  
The read-back controller will abort a read-back operation  
when the CS1 line is asserted. The calibration controller  
must wait at least 40µs after setting the CS1 line LOW  
before the first rising edge of SCLK occurs.  
Address = 14: Linearization Adjust Register  
This register sets the code to the 8-bit DAC that adjusts the  
magnitude of the linearization feedback current. Value is  
unipolar to 255.  
For an external controller to write directly to the XTR108  
(sensor calibration operation) or load data into the EEPROM,  
it is necessary to interrupt the default read-back mode. For  
both of these modes, the SCLK direction must be reversed.  
See Figure 5 for the timing of this operation. First, the SCLK  
line must be pulled LOW for at least 20ns (t10). Then CS1  
is set LOW. The XTR108 will set DIO to a tri-state within  
20ns (t13) and CS2 HIGH within 50ns (t12). After a delay of  
at least 40µs (t11), the external system will start communica-  
tion with a rising edge on SCLK.  
Address = 15: Checksum Register  
This register contains the checksum byte that is used to  
validate the data read from the EEPROM. If a write occurs  
to this register, and the checksum is invalid, an error condi-  
tion will set (CSE = ‘1’). If the checksum is valid, the error  
condition will be cleared (CSE = ‘0’).  
If a checksum error is detected, the XTR108 will program  
itself to the lowest under-scale error level.

contents which will overwrite the data just loaded. Figure 6  
shows read and write timing.  
To be compatible with SPI EEPROM devices, the XTR108  
latches input data on the rising edge of SCLK. Output data  
transitions on the falling edge of SCLK. All serial interface  
transactions must be framed by CS1. CS1 must be asserted  
to start an operation, and it must be de-asserted to terminate  
an operation.  
For interactive calibration operations, the first command to  
the XTR108 should set bit 0, Register 4 (RBD). This will  
disable the read-back mode. It will be possible to write to the  
various registers and cycle CS1. If RBD is not set, then as  
soon as CS1 is released, the XTR108 will read the EEPROM

write enable instruction to be executed to write data to the  
EEPROM. It is unlikely that this would accidentally be  
written to the EEPROM device and then be followed by a  
valid write operation. Further security can be obtained by  
using an SPI EEPROM device that has internal write-protect  
control bits. These bits are nonvolatile and must be cleared  
before write operations are allowed.  
EEPROM DATA STORAGE  
The XTR108 automatically reads data from an SPI-compat-  
ible EEPROM device. The models 25C040 from MicroChip  
and the AT25010 from Atmel have been tested and are  
known to work. Equivalent devices with an SPI interface can  
be expected to work. The XTR108 will read data from  
addresses 4 through 15 of the EEPROM. The address in the  
EEPROM is the same as the address for the corresponding  
data in the XTR108. The XTR108 will not write data to the  
EEPROM. The external calibration controller is responsible  
for writing data to the EEPROM.  
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 XTR108 with various  
zener diodes and surge-clamping diodes specially designed  
for this purpose. Since the maximum voltage on the XTR108  
loop is limited by the external MOSFET breakdown voltage,  
usually more than 200V, the requirement to the clamping  
devices are not very strict. For example, a 50V protection  
diode will assure proper transmitter operation at normal loop  
voltages without significant leakage yet provide an appro-  
priate level of protection against voltage surges. In case of  
prolonged (seconds and longer) overvoltage, lower voltage  
clamps may be used to limit the power dissipation on the  
transmitter.  
CHECKSUM FUNCTION  
To validate the data from the EEPROM device, the XTR108  
calculates a checksum on the incoming serial-data stream  
during each write operation. The value written to the EEPROM  
that will be transferred to register 15 during an EEPROM read  
operation must be such that the sum of the data in registers 4  
through 15 totals 0xFF (255). The sum is calculated by  
performing an add/accumulate function on all of the data  
bytes of a read operation. An end-around carry is used during  
the add/accumulate operation. If a carry-out was generated in  
the previous add operation, it is used as a carry-in for the next  
add operation for the checksum operation. The following code  
shows how the value of register 15 could be calculated:  
Most surge-protection zener diodes have a diode character-  
istic 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.  
Sum = 0  
FOR Index = 4 TO 14  
Sum = Sum + Data [Index]  
IF Sum > 255 THEN  
Sum = Sum – 255  
NEXT Index  
REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION  
The XTR108’s low compliance rating (7.5V) permits the  
use of various voltage protection methods without compro-  
mising operating range. Figure 8 shows a diode bridge  
circuit which allows normal operation even when the volt-  
age connection lines are reversed. The bridge causes a two  
diode drop (approximately 1.4V) loss in loop supply volt-  
age. This results in a compliance voltage of approximately  
9V—satisfactory for most applications. If 1.4V drop in loop  
supply is too much, a diode can be inserted in series with the  
loop supply voltage and the V+ pin. This protects against  
reverse output connection lines with only a 0.7V loss in loop  
supply voltage.  
Data [15] = 255 – Sum  
For a test or calibration operation, it may be necessary to  
write to a few select registers. This may be accomplished  
without writing to register 15. To accomplish this, write to  
the necessary registers and release CS1. There is no need to  
update register 15.  
If the command is to disable the automatic read-back func-  
tion by setting the RDB bit in register 4, it is necessary to  
rewrite the entire register set data with a correct checksum  
value in register 15. The automatic read-back mode will be  
disabled upon successful checksum operation.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE  
The long wire lengths of current loops invite radio frequency  
interference. RF energy can be rectified by the sensitive  
input circuitry of the XTR108 causing errors. This generally  
appears as an unstable output current that varies with the  
position of loop supply or input wiring.  
The checksum error flag is also cleared when the XTR108  
is reset (i.e.: at power ON). Write operations that do not  
write to the checksum register will have no effect on the  
checksum error flag. By locating the checksum register after  
the last configuration register and including the checksum  
register in the EEPROM read operation, the data is validated  
by the checksum function.  
If the RTD sensor is remotely located, the interference may  
enter at the input terminals. For integrated transmitter as-  
semblies with short connection to the sensor, the interfer-  
ence more likely comes from the current loop connections.  
EEPROM DATA SECURITY  
Bypass capacitors on the input reduce or eliminate this input  
interference. Connect these bypass capacitors to the IRET  
terminal, see Figure 9. Although the DC voltage at the IRET  
terminal is not equal to 0V (at the loop supply, VPS) this  
circuit point can be considered the transmitter’s “ground.”  
The 0.01µF capacitor connected between VLOOP and IO may  
help minimize output interference.  
Since the data in the EEPROM directly affects the analog  
output of the XTR108, the data in the EEPROM needs to be  
secure from accidental write operations. SPI EEPROM de-  
vices have a write-protect function on one of the pins. An  
additional connection to the calibration controller would be  
required if the write-protect pin is used to prevent accidental  
write operations. SPI EEPROM devices require a special

assumption is made that all errors are positive and additive.  
As the various error sources are independent, a closer  
approximation to nominal performance might be to accumu-  
late the errors with a root-sum-square calculation.  
SAMPLE ERROR ANALYSIS  
Table XVII shows a detailed computation of the error  
accumulation. The sample error budget is based on a typical  
RTD circuit (Pt100, 200°C measurement span). Note that  
these calculations are based on typical characteristics where  
no maximum or minimum characteristic is available. The

Four-Wire Connection  
APPLICATIONS  
For those applications where the resistance of the lead-wires  
is not equal, it may be an advantage to add a precision op  
amp to a four-wire connection, see Figure 11. The voltage  
offset and drift are error terms that degrade the operation of  
the system. This circuit does not suffer any loss of accuracy  
for the resistance of the RTD lead-wires.  
RTD CONNECTION METHODS  
Two-Wire Connection  
The simplest circuit that can be used to connect an RTD to  
the XTR108 is the two-wire connection shown in Figure 9.  
If the RTD is separated from the XTR108 by any distance  
the resistance of the lead wires can cause significant error in  
the reading. This wire resistance is noted as RLINE1 and  
RLINE2. If the RF filter is not required, then the PGA inputs  
could be taken from the same pins as are used for the current  
sources.  
BRIDGE SENSOR CONNECTIONS  
Fixed Voltage Excitation  
There exists a class of sensors that are best supplied with a  
voltage source excitation such as the bridge sensor shown in  
Figure 12. The excitation voltage here is given by:  
Three-Wire Connection  
It is possible to minimize the errors caused by the lead-wire  
resistance by connecting the RTD, see Figure 10. Operating  
under the assumption that the wire connecting pin 1 to the  
XTR108 is the same length as the wire at pin 2, and with the  
current through the RTD identical to the current through RZ  
any error voltage caused by the lead-wire is the same on both  
sides. This appears as a common-mode voltage and is  
subtracted by the PGA.  
R1  
VEX = VREF 1+  
R2  
Uni-Directional Linearity Control  
The circuit in Figure 13 shows a bridge sensor with an  
excitation voltage that is adjusted to linearize the response  
using the same algorithm as the RTD linearization.  
The circuit in Figure 10 also shows a scheme where one  
board can be optimized for a wide range of temperatures.  
Consider a range of applications where there are up to five  
different minimum temperatures. Select RZ1 through RZ5 to  
be optimum for each of the minimum temperatures. The  
configuration codes in the EEPROM can be set to select that  
resistor for that unique situation.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT MODE USING SIMPLE  
CURRENT PUMP  
to build this charge pump using two resistors, two capaci-  
tors, and two diodes (in an SOT package). The charge pump  
uses the clock signal from the XTR108 SCLK pin to operate;  
consequently, the XTR108 must be in continuous EEPROM  
read mode (register 4, bit 0). Figure 15 shows the typical  
output of this circuit (–50mV dc).  
In order for the voltage output mode of the XTR108 to  
operate properly, a negative voltage needs to be applied to  
the IRET pin (–200mV < IRET < –25mV). For systems without  
a negative supply a charge pump is an easy way to generate  
this voltage. Figure 14 shows a simple and inexpensive way

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE XTR108 USING A  
MICROCONTROLLER  
SCLK is driven low by the  
microcontroller just before  
CS1 is driven low.  
When communicating with the XTR108, special care must  
be taken to avoid getting a false clock. When CS1 is driven  
low, the false clock is generated because the microcontroller  
clock pin is in high-impedance state, which forces the clock  
pin to a logic high. Immediately after CS1 is driven low, the  
microcontroller drives the clock pin low. This sequence  
creates a glitch that the XTR interprets as a clock; see Figure  
16. This condition can be avoided by driving the SCLK pin  
low just prior to applying CS1 low; see Figure 17. A series  
resistance should be placed between the microcontroller and  
the XTR108 because driving SCLK low before CS1 can  
create a bus contention; see Figure 18.  
SCLK is in High Z mode  
(Pulled high by the pull-up  
in the XTR108)

FIGURE 17. Proper Method to Drive the XTR108 to Avoid
