In the previous posts in the Industrial DACs series we’ve been looking at how to build and protect 3-wire industrial analog outputs. Today, we will change gears and look at 2-wire analog outputs.
Figure 1: Simplified drawing of typical 2-wire …
In my last post, I talked about how integration has simplified 3-wire analog output design . In this post, I’ll show you one way to protect these designs against dangerous industrial transients that can cause electrical overstress.
Let’s start…
hub (hub) noun
1. the central part of a wheel, into which spokes are inserted.
2. a center around which other things revolve or from which they radiate.
Welcome to the TI Precision Designs Hub. Our new home here on E2E to provide tips, tricks, and design…
In the last two posts in this series I talked about how to build 3-wire analog outputs and how to protect them from transient overstress . This post will finish off the discussion of 3-wire analog outputs with some solutions to one more application-specific…

Pop quiz: What’s the most requested feature in modern-day industrial systems?
If you guessed accuracy, then you are correct. In the past, only the test and measurement…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: AMC7891 In my last post , I talked about how to use a precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to margin a voltage regulator like a low-dropout regulator (LDO) or switch mode power supply (SMPS), providing the ability to…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: TINA-TI , DAC5311 , DAC7311 , DAC6311 Do you feel like your adjustable voltage regulator deserves some margin? I do, and I have some good news: all it takes is one DAC and one resistor!
The traditional feedback system for a…

In applications such as position sensors, data-acquisition systems and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), it is important to design…
In parts 1 and 2 of this series , my colleague Matthew Sauceda described how to successfully bias radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). A monitoring and control) solution is required to overcome the temperature-dependent nonlinearity of a RF PA…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: LM5017 In my last post , I discussed the basic structure of 4-wire sensor transmitters and how they differ from 2-wire and 3-wire sensor transmitters. In this post, I will discuss the construction of a locally powered output…
