3.4 Connecting Loop Power Supply to the XTR108EVM-USB Interface Board
Connect a dc lab power supply to J4 on the Interface Board as shown in Figure 12. When operating in
current-output mode, the loop-supply input voltage range is 12 V to 24 V. In general, you must consider
the power dissipated in the external transistor and the operating temperature of the transistor in order to
determine the maximum loop voltage and current. This calculation is determined in the XTR108 data
sheet. When operating in voltage-output mode, the loop-supply input voltage range is (3.0 V to 5.5 V) +
