TIXTR200EVM

Overview

The XTR200EVM is an evaluation board for the XTR200, a high-performance 4-20mA current loop transmitter designed for industrial instrumentation. It facilitates the testing of a wide 8V to 60V supply range and the device's ability to drive currents with 0.01 percent accuracy. The board allows engineers to evaluate the integrated output transistor and the unique mode pin for selecting between current and voltage output configurations.

Why Choose This Part

The XTR200 offers exceptional 0.01 percent accuracy and a low typical quiescent current of 325 microamps, making it ideal for loop-powered designs. It features an integrated output transistor to reduce external component count and includes an error flag for fault detection. The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -40C to 125C, ensuring reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Applications

Getting Started

To begin evaluation, connect a DC power supply between 8V and 60V to the V+ and V- terminals. Use the onboard jumpers to configure the mode pin for the desired output type and monitor the error flag (EF) for any fault conditions. Input signals can be applied to the VIN terminals to observe the corresponding 4-20mA or voltage output response.
