series introduction

# XTR110BG Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The XTR110BG product series is a remarkable line of integrated circuits that play a crucial role in the field of signal processing and current loop transmission. These devices are designed to convert voltage signals into precise 4 - 20 mA current signals, which are widely used in industrial control, process automation, and instrumentation systems. With their high - performance features and reliable operation, the XTR110BG series has become a popular choice among engineers and system designers.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High Accuracy
The XTR110BG offers excellent accuracy in converting input voltage signals to 4 - 20 mA current outputs. It has a low offset error and a high gain accuracy, which ensures that the output current accurately represents the input voltage. This high - level of accuracy is essential in applications where precise measurement and control are required, such as in chemical processing plants where small variations in process variables can have significant impacts on product quality.

### 2.2 Wide Input Voltage Range
It can accept a wide range of input voltages, typically from 0 - 5V or 0 - 10V. This flexibility allows it to interface with various types of sensors and signal sources. For example, in a temperature monitoring system, different types of temperature sensors may produce different voltage outputs within this range, and the XTR110BG can easily handle these diverse input signals.

### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
The XTR110BG is designed with power efficiency in mind. It consumes relatively low power, which is beneficial in battery - powered applications or in systems where energy conservation is a priority. This low power consumption also helps in reducing heat generation, thereby increasing the reliability and lifespan of the device.

### 2.4 Isolation Capability
Some models in the XTR110BG series offer isolation between the input and output circuits. This isolation is crucial in applications where electrical noise or ground loops can cause interference. For instance, in industrial environments with large motors and other high - power equipment, electrical noise can be a significant problem. The isolation feature of the XTR110BG helps in preventing this noise from affecting the signal transmission, ensuring a clean and reliable 4 - 20 mA output.

### 2.5 Robustness and Reliability
These devices are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. They have a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio - frequency interference (RFI). Additionally, they are designed with over - voltage and over - current protection features, which safeguard the device from damage due to abnormal operating conditions.

## 3. Applications

### 3.1 Industrial Process Control
In industrial manufacturing plants, the XTR110BG is used to convert sensor signals (such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate) into 4 - 20 mA current signals. These current signals are then transmitted over long distances to control panels or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The 4 - 20 mA current loop is preferred in industrial settings because it is less susceptible to noise and can be easily transmitted over long cables.

### 3.2 Instrumentation
In test and measurement equipment, the XTR110BG is used to interface sensors with data acquisition systems. For example, in a laboratory setting, a sensor may measure a physical quantity and produce a voltage signal. The XTR110BG can convert this voltage signal into a 4 - 20 mA current signal, which can be more accurately measured and recorded by the data acquisition system.

### 3.3 Building Automation
In building management systems, the XTR110BG is used to monitor and control various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and
