Often, information from an analog sensor must be sent over a distance to the receiving circuitry. For many applications, the most feasible method involves converting voltage information to a current before transmission. The following circuits give two variations of low-power current loops. The circuit in Figure 7-5 requires three wires from the transmitting to receiving circuitry, while the second variation in Figure 7-6 requires only two wires, but includes an extra integrated circuit. Both circuits benefit from the high input impedance of the TL03xA because many inexpensive sensors do not have low output impedance.
Assuming that the voltage at the noninverting input of the TL03xA is zero, the following equation determines the output current:
The circuits presently provide 4mA to 20mA output current for an input voltage of 0 to 100mV. By modifying R1, R2, and R3, the input voltage range or the output current range can be adjusted.
Including the offset voltage of the operational amplifier in the above equation clearly illustrates why the low offset TL03xA is used:
For example, an offset voltage of 1mV decreases the output current by 0.17mA.
Due to the low power consumption of the TL03xA, both circuits have at least 2mA available to drive the actual sensor from the 5V reference node.
