Low Cost 4-20mA Current Loop Signal Conditioning Circuit MAX1452

By Rust at 21 February, 2010, 5:17 am

The benefits of 4-20mA current loop format in process control systems are 2-wire sensor operation, long cable runs, and noise immunity.  The voltages  for the loop can be ranging from 12VDC to 40VDC and  are inherently nonratiometric to the output signal. The MAX1452 low current consumption allows the system to operate from loop  power with [...]
