XTR116: EOS Protection Issue

Tess Chen

Part Number: XTR116
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: XTR115

Hi Team,

Some failures comes up with the phenomena that device can not generate the right current with different input and loop current stays at maximum. FA report shows the failure is caused by the EOS. Could you please give some suggestions for XTR116 hardware protection design to help prevent the EOS? Thanks in advance.

Hi Tess,

can you specify the EOS? And from where is it enetering the circuit?

Have you seen figure 4 of datasheet and the protection measures discussed there?

Hi Tess,

In addition to Kai's comments, XTR116/XTR115 are 2-wire 4-20mA current loop transmitter. Pin 4 at Io has to be able to float, see the schematic on p1 of the datasheet. Pin 3 or Iret has to be referenced to pin 4. Could you post the schematic over E2E? if unable, please send it via my internal email.

Best,

Raymond
