Looking to connect your sensors and microcontrollers in industrial environments? The XTR116U 4-20mA current loop transmitter bridges the gap between your Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any MCU and professional field instrumentation. This precision device converts analog voltage signals into robust 4-20mA current loops that can travel hundreds of feet without signal degradation—making it ideal for factory floors, process control systems, and remote monitoring applications.
Built around industry-standard current loop technology, this transmitter delivers exceptional accuracy with just 0.05% span error and an incredibly low 0.003% nonlinearity error. The integrated 5V regulator powers external circuits while the 4.096V reference voltage provides stable sensor excitation. With only 200µA quiescent current, this component won't drain your power supplies, making it perfect for battery-operated industrial monitoring devices.
The I2C interface makes this transmitter incredibly easy to work with. Simply connect the two-wire bidirectional bus to your microcontroller's I2C pins, and you're ready to go. The SO-8 package fits perfectly on standard protoboards and works with existing sensor systems. Whether you're building a distributed control system, environmental monitoring station, or industrial data logger, this transmitter provides the reliable signal conditioning your projects need.
Unlike basic analog solutions, the XTR116U operates across a wide supply range of 7.5V to 36V, making it compatible with various industrial power systems. The 4-20mA current loop format is the industry standard for noise immunity and long-distance signal transmission, ensuring your measurements remain accurate even in electrically noisy environments. This means reliable data from sensors located far from your central processing unit.
Whether you're upgrading a home automation system or building professional industrial equipment, the XTR116U provides the precision and reliability needed for serious electronic projects. Convert your sensor outputs to robust current loops and enjoy interference-free data transmission over any distance.
