XTR115 + TPS54062 Objective:Increase the available power for sensor and other external circuitry on a remote 2-wire current loop transmitter. With existing designs, sensors and systems that draw more than ~3.3mA will not be able to meet typical under-scale current or zero-scale levels of 3.8mA or 4mA. Loop Supply – 16VDesired Iout range = 3.8mA DC – 20.2mA DC with 1mApp HART AC signalRequired Sensor Current = 7.1mA
XTR115 + TPS54062 Solution:Use low-current buck topology switching power converter to buck down the loop-supply to the required VREG levels. All SMPS current must sink back through IRET of XTR115.
