series introduction

# XTR116U Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The XTR116U product series represents a cutting - edge solution in the field of analog signal processing and current loop transmission. These devices are designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial, instrumentation, and process control applications, where accurate and reliable signal conversion and transmission are of utmost importance.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High - Precision Signal Conversion
- The XTR116U is capable of converting a wide range of input voltage signals into a standard 4 - 20 mA current loop output. This conversion is carried out with high precision, ensuring that the output current accurately represents the input voltage. The device typically offers a low offset error and high linearity, which are crucial for applications where small changes in the input signal need to be accurately reflected in the output current.
- For example, in a temperature sensing application where a thermocouple generates a small voltage proportional to the temperature, the XTR116U can convert this voltage into a 4 - 20 mA signal that can be easily transmitted over long distances to a control system.

### 2.2 Wide Input Voltage Range
It supports a broad input voltage range, allowing it to interface with various types of sensors and signal sources. This flexibility makes it suitable for a diverse set of applications. Whether it is a low - level signal from a strain gauge or a higher - level signal from a potentiometer, the XTR116U can handle the input and convert it to the desired 4 - 20 mA output.

### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
In today's energy - conscious world, the XTR116U stands out with its low power consumption characteristics. This is especially important for battery - powered or remote applications where power efficiency is a critical factor. The low power operation not only extends the battery life but also reduces the overall heat dissipation, which can improve the reliability and stability of the device.

### 2.4 Excellent Noise Rejection
The product series is equipped with advanced noise rejection circuitry. In industrial environments, electrical noise can be a significant problem that can corrupt the signal and lead to inaccurate measurements. The XTR116U effectively filters out this noise, ensuring a clean and reliable output signal. This is achieved through a combination of internal filtering components and proper circuit design.

### 2.5 Isolation Options
Some models in the XTR116U series offer isolation capabilities. Electrical isolation is essential in applications where there is a need to protect sensitive equipment from high - voltage transients or ground loops. Isolation helps to prevent interference and ensures the safety and integrity of the system. For example, in a power distribution system, an isolated XTR116U can be used to measure current in a high - voltage circuit without exposing the control system to the high - voltage potential.

## 3. Applications

### 3.1 Industrial Process Control
In industrial manufacturing plants, the XTR116U is widely used for process control applications. It can be used to interface with sensors such as pressure sensors, flow sensors, and level sensors. The 4 - 20 mA output of the XTR116U can be easily transmitted to a programmable logic controller (PLC) or a distributed control system (DCS), which can then use this information to regulate the industrial process. For example, in a chemical plant, the XTR116U can be used to measure the pressure in a reactor and send the signal to the control system to adjust the flow of reactants.

### 3.2 Instrumentation
In test and measurement equipment, the XTR116U plays a vital role. It can convert the output of various sensors in the instrument into a standardized 4 -
