The digital output selection capability, together with the
error flags and monitor pins, make remote configuration
and troubleshooting possible. Fault conditions on the
output and on the IA input as well as over-temperature
conditions are indicated by the error flags. The monitoring
pins provide continuous feedback about load power or
impedance. For additional protection, the maximum output
current is limited and thermal protection is provided.

DESCRIPTION
The separate driver and receiver channels provide
flexibility. The Instrumentation Amplifier (IA) can be used
for remote voltage sense or as a high-voltage, highimpedance measurement channel. In voltage output
mode, a copy of the output current is provided, allowing
calculation of load resistance.

The XTR300 is a complete output driver for industrial and
process control applications. The output can be configured
as current or voltage by the digital I/V select pin. No
external shunt resistor is required. Only external
gain-setting resistors and a loop compensation capacitor
are required.

Digital communication like HART can be modulated onto
the input signal. The receive signal applied to the output
can be detected at the monitor pins in both current and
voltage output modes. In addition to HART
communication, the device offers system or sensor
configuration through the signal connector.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those specified is not supported.
(2) Input terminals are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails.
Input signals that can swing more than 0.5V beyond the supply
rails should be current limited.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Built on a robust high-voltage BI-CMOS process, the
XTR300 is designed to interface the 5V or 3V supply domain used for processors, signal converters, and amplifiers to the high-voltage and high-current industrial signal
environment. It is specified for up to ±20V supply, but can
also be powered asymmetrically (for example, +24V and
−5V). It is designed to allow insertion of external circuit
protection elements and drive large capacitive loads.
CC
XTR300
The XTR300 provides two basic functional blocks: an instrumentation amplifier (IA) and a driver that is a unique
operational amplifier (OPA) for current or voltage output.
This combination represents an analog output stage which
can be digitally configured to provide either current or voltage output to the same terminal pin. Alternatively, it can be
configured for independent measurment channels.
Three open collector error signals are provided to indicate
output related errors such as over-current or open-load
(EFLD) or exceeding the common-mode input range at the
IA inputs (EFCM). An over-temperature flag (EFOT) can be
used to control output disable to protect the circuit. The
monitor outputs (IMON and IAOUT) and the error flags offer
optimal testability during operation and configuration. The
IMON output represents the current flowing into the load in
voltage output mode, while the IAOUT represents the voltage across the connectors in current output mode. Both
monitor outputs can be connected together when used in
current or voltage output mode because the monitor signals are multiplexed accordingly.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT MODE
In voltage output mode (M1 and M2 are connected low or
left unconnected), the feedback loop through the IA provides high impedance remote sensing of the voltage at the
destination, compensating the resistance of a protection
circuit, switches, wiring, and connector resistance. The
output of the IA is a current that is proportional to the input
voltage. This current is internally routed to the OPA summing junction through a multiplexer, as shown in Figure 6.

CURRENT OUTPUT MODE
INPUT SIGNAL CONNECTION
The XTR300 does not require a shunt resistor for current
control because it uses a precise current mirror arrangement.
It is possible to drive the XTR300 with a unidirectional input
signal and still get a bidirectional output by adding an additional resistor, ROS, and an offset voltage signal, VREF. It
can be a mid-point voltage or a signal to shift the output
voltage to a desired value.
In current output mode (M1 connected low, or left unconnected and M2 connected high) a precise copy of 1/10th
of the output is internally routed back to the summing junction of the OPA through a multiplexer, closing the control
loop for the output current.
The OPA driver can deliver more than ±24mA within a wide
output voltage range. An open-output condition or high-impedance load that prevents the flow of the required current
activates the EFLD flag.
While in current output mode, a current (IIA) that is proportional to the voltage at the IA input is routed to IAOUT and
can be used to monitor the load voltage. A resistor converts this current into voltage. This arrangement makes
level shifting easy.
Alternatively, the IA can be used as an independent monitoring channel. If this output is not used, connect it to GND
to maintain proper function of the monitor stage, as shown
in Figure 7.
This design is illustrated in Figure 8a, Figure 8b, and
Figure 8c. As with a normal operational amplifier, there are
several options for offset-shift circuits. The input can be
connected for inverting or noninverting gain. Unlike many
op amp input circuits, however, this configuration uses current feedback, which removes the voltage relationship between the noninverting input and output potential because
there is no feedback resistor.

The input bias current effect on the offset voltage can be
reduced by connecting a resistor in series with the positive
input that matches the approximate resistance at the negative input. This resistor placed close to the input pin acts
as a damping element and makes the design less sensitive
to RF noise. See R3 in Figure 5.
ting. When M1 is high, the internal feedback connections
are opened; IAOUT and IMON are both connected to the output pins; and M2 only determines the current limit (ISC) setting.
SUMMARY OF CONFIGURATION MODES(1)
M1
EXTERNALLY-CONFIGURED MODE:
OPA AND IA
It is possible to use the precision of the operational amplifier (OPA) and instrumentation amplifier (IA) independently
from each other by configuring the digital control pins (M1
high). In this mode, the IA output current is routed to IAOUT
and the copy of the OPA output current is routed to IMON,
as shown in Figure 4.
This mode allows external configuration of the analog signal routing and feedback loop.
The current output IA has high input impedance, low offset
voltage and drift, and very high common-mode rejection
ratio. An external resistor (RIA) can be used to convert the
output current of the IA (IIA) to an output voltage. The gain
is given by:
I IA +

RGAIN
V IN or VIA +
2RIA

(5)
The OPA provides low drift and high voltage output swing
that can be used like a common operational amplifier by
connecting a feedback network around it. In this mode, the
copy of the output current is available at the IMON pin (it includes the current into the feedback network). It provides
an output current limit for protection, which can be set between two ranges by M2. The error flag indicates an overcurrent condition, as well as indicating driving the output
into the supply rails.
Alternatively, the feedback can be closed through the IMON
pin to create a precise voltage-to-current converter.
DRIVER OUTPUT DISABLE
The OPA output (DRV) can be switched to a high-impedance mode by driving the OD control pin low. This input can
be connected to the over-temperature flag, EFOT, and a
pull-up resistor to protect the IC from over-temperature by
disconnecting the load.
The output disable mode can be used to sense and measure the voltage at the IA input pins without loading from
the DRV output. This mode allows testing of any voltage
present at the I/O connector. However, consider the bias
current of the IA input pins.
The digital control inputs, M1 and M2, set the four operation modes of the XTR300 as shown in Table 1. When M1
is asserted low, M2 determines voltage or current mode
and the corresponding appropriate current limit (ISC) set-

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS AND LOOP
COMPENSATION
For normal operation, the driver OPA and the IA are connected in a closed loop for voltage output. In current output
mode, the current copy closes the loop directly.
In current output mode, loop compensation is not critical,
even for large capacitive loads. However, in voltage output
mode, the capacitive load, together with the source impedance and the impedance of the protection circuit, generates additional phase lag. The IA input might also be protected by a low-pass filter that influences phase in the
closed loop.
The loop compensation low-pass filter consists of CC and
the parallel resistance of ROS and RSET. For loop stability
with large capacitive load, the external phase shift has to
be added to the OPA phase. With CC, the voltage gain of
the OPA has to approach zero at the frequency where the
total phase approaches 180° + 135°.
The best stability for large capacitive loads is provided by
adding a small resistor, RC (15Ω). See the Output Protection section.
An empirical method of evaluation is using a square wave
input signal and observing the settling after transients. Use
small signal amplitudes only—steep signal edges cause
excessive current to flow into the capacitive load and may
activate the current limit, which hides or prevents oscillation. A small-signal oscillation can be hidden from large capacitive loads, but observing the IMON output on an appropriate resistor (use a similar value like RSET||ROS) would
indicate stability issues. Note that noise pulses at IMON dur-

ing overload (EFLD active) are normal and are caused by
cycling of the current mirror.
The voltage output mode includes the IA in the loop. An
additional low-pass filter in the input reverses the phase
and therefore increases the signal bandwidth of the loop,
but also increases the delay. Again, loop stability has to be
observed. Overloading the IA disconnects the closed loop
and the output voltage rails.

INTERNAL CURRENT SOURCES,
SWITCHING NOISE, AND SETTLING TIME
IR
The accuracy of the current output mode and the DC performance of the IA rely on dynamically-matched current
mirrors.
Identical current sources are rotated to average out mismatch errors. It can take several clock cycles of the internal
100kHz ocsillator (or a submultiple of that frequency) to
reach full accuracy. This may dominate the settling time to
the 0.1% accuracy level and can be as much as 100µs in
current output mode or 40µs in voltage output mode.
A small portion of the switching glitches appear at the DRV
output, and also at the IMON and IAMON outputs. The standard circuit configuration, with RC, C4, and CC, which are
required for loop compensation and output protection, also
helps reduce the noise to negligible levels at the signal output. If necessary, the monitor outputs can be filtered with
a shunt capacitor.
IA STRUCTURE, VOLTAGE MONITOR
The instrumentation amplifier has high-impedance NPN
transistor inputs that do not load the output signal, which
is especially important in current output mode. The output
signal is a controlled current that is multiplexed either to
the SET pin (to close the voltage output loop) or to IAOUT
(for external access).
The principal circuit is shown in Figure 9. The two input
buffer amplifiers reproduce the input difference voltage
across RGAIN. The resulting current through this resistor is
bidirectionally mirrored to the output. That mirroring results
in the ideal transfer function of:
I IA + IAOUT + 2 (IA IN) * IA IN*)ńR GAIN
(6)
The accuracy and drift of RGAIN defines the accuracy of the
voltage to current conversion. The high accuracy and stability of the current mirrors result from a cycling chopper
technique.

Note that if RSET is too small, the current output limitation
of the instrumentation amplifier can disrupt the closed loop
of the XTR300 in voltage output mode. With M2 = low, the
nominal RGAIN of 10kΩ allows an input voltage of 20VPP,
which produces an output current of 4mAPP. When using
lower resistors for RGAIN that can allow higher currents, the
IA output current limitation must be taken into account.
CURRENT MONITOR
In current output mode (M2 = high), the XTR300 provides
high output impedance. A precision current mirror generates an exact 1/10th copy of the output current and this current is either routed to the summing junction of the OPA to
close the feedback loop (in the current output mode) or to
the IMON pin for output current monitoring in other operating
modes.

The high accuracy and stability of this current split results
from a cycling chopper technique. This design eliminates
the need for a precise shunt resistor or a precise shuntvoltage measurement, which would require high commonmode rejection performance.
During a saturation condition of the DRV output (the error
flag is active), the monitor output (IMON) shows a current
peak because the loop opens. Glitches from the current
mirror chopper appear during this time in the monitor signal. This part of the signal cannot be used for measurement.
ERROR FLAGS
The XTR300 is designed for testability of its proper function and allows observation of the conditions at the load
connection without disrupting service.
If the output signal is not in accordance to the transfer function, an error flag is activated (limited by the dynamic response capabilities). These error flags are in addition to
the monitor outputs, IMON and IAOUT, which allow the momentary output current (in voltage mode) or output voltage
(in current mode) to be read back.
This combination of error flag and monitor signal allows
easy observation of the XTR300 for function and working
condition, providing the basis for not only remote control,
but also for remote diagnosis.
All error flags of the XTR300 have open collector outputs
with a weak pull-up of approximately 1µA to an internal 5V.
External pull-up resistors to the logic voltage are required
when driving 3V or 5V logic.
The output sink current should not exceed 5mA. This is just
enough to directly drive optical-couplers, but a current-limiting resistor is required.
There are three error flags:
D
D
D
IA Common-Mode Over-Range (EFCM)—goes low
as soon as the inputs of the IA reach the limits of the
linear operation for the input voltage.
This flag shows noise from the saturated current
mirrors which can be filtered with a capacitor to GND.
Load Error (EFLD)—indicates fault conditions driving
voltage or current into the load. In voltage output mode
it monitors the voltage limits of the output swing and
the current limit condition caused from short or low
load resistance. In current output mode it indicates a
saturation into the supply rails from a high load
resistance or open load.
Over-Temperature Flag (EFOT)—is a digital output
that goes low if the chip temperature reaches a
temperature of +140°C and resets as soon as it cools
down to +125°C. It does not automatically shut down
the output; it allows the user system to take action on
the situation. If desired, this output can be connected
to output disable (OD) which disables the output and
therefore removes the source of power. This
connection acts like an automatic shut down, but
requires an external pull-up resistor to safely override
the internal current sources. The IA channel is not
affected, which allows continuous observation of the
voltage at the output.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: HART
The bandwidth and drive capability of the XTR300 are
sufficient to transmit communication signals such as
HART. The combination of current monitor and voltage
sense with the IA circuit enables communication signal
transmission from the signal output connector to the
monitor pins in both current or voltage output mode. In
current output mode, the signal arrives at IAOUT; in voltage
output mode the communication signal modulates the
DRV current and arrives at IMON. Both IAOUT and IMON can
be connected together because they are internally
multiplexed according to the output mode (while M1 = low).
Driving a communication signal through the output
connector back into the system or sensor, regardless of
the output mode, enables easy configuration, calibration,
diagnosis, and universal communication.
DIGITAL I/O AND GROUND
CONSIDERATIONS
The XTR300 offers voltage output mode, current output
mode, external configuration, and instrumentation mode
(voltage input). In addition, the internal feedback mode can
be disconnected and external loop connections can be
made. These modes are controlled by M1 and M2 (see the
function table). The OD input pin controls enable or disable
of the output stage (OD is active low).
The digital I/O is referenced to DGND and signals on this
pin should remain within 5V of the DGND potential. This
DGND pin carries the output low-current (sink current) of
the logic outputs. DGND can be connected to a potential
within the supply voltage but needs to be 8V below the
positive supply. Proper connection avoids current from the
digital outputs flowing into the analog ground.
It is important to note that DGND has normally reversebiased diodes connected to the supply. Therefore, high
and destructive currents could flow if DGND is driven
beyond the supply rails by more than a diode forward
voltage. Avoid this condition during power-on and
power-off!

OUTPUT PROTECTION
The XTR300 is intended to operate in a harsh industrial
environment. Therefore, a robust semiconductor process
was chosen for this design. However, some external
protection is still required.
The instrumentation amplifier inputs can be protected by
external resistors that limit current into the protection cell
behind the IC-pins, as shown in Figure 10. This cell
conducts to the power-supply connection through a diode
as soon as the input voltage exceeds the supply voltage.
The circuit configuration example shows how to arrange
these two external resistors.
RC is also part of the recommended loop compensation. C4
helps protect the output against RFI and high-voltage
spikes.

Figure 10. Current Limiting Resistors
The load connection to the DRV output must be low
impedance; therefore, external protection diodes may be
necessary to handle excessive currents, as shown in
Figure 11. The internal protection diodes start to conduct
earlier than a normal external PN-type diode because they
are affected by the higher die temperature. Therefore,
either Schottky diodes are required, or an additional
resistor (RC) can be placed in series with the input. An
example of this protection is shown in Figure 11. Assuming
the standard diodes limit the voltage to 1.4V and the
internal diodes clamp at 0.7V, this resistor can limit the
current into the internal protection diodes to 50mA:
(1.4V * 0.7V)ń15W + 47mA

(7)
When power is turned on or off, most analog amplifiers
generate some glitching of the output because of internal
circuit thresholds and capacitive charges. Characteristics
of the supply voltage, as well as its rise and fall time, also
directly influence output glitches. Load resistance and
capacitive load affect the amplitude as well.
The output disable control (OD) allows good control over
the output during power-on, power-off, and system down
time by providing a high impedance to the output.
Figure 12a, Figure 12b, and Figure 12c show the output
voltage with the output disabled during power on and
off—no glitch can be see on the output signal. Holding OD
low also prevents glitches in current output mode.
Figure 12c indicates no glitches when transitioning from
disable to enable.
All measurements are made with a load resistance of 1kΩ
and tested in the circuit configuration of Figure 5. OD has
an internal pull-up of approximately 1µA; therefore, a
100kΩ resistor provides safe pull-down during power
on—make sure the logic controlling the OD pin does not
glitch.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Supply bypass capacitors should be close to the package
and connected with low-impedance conductors. Avoid
noise coupled into RGAIN, and observe wiring resistance.
For thermal management, see the Heat Sinking section.
Layout for the XTR300 is not critical; however, its internal
current chopping works best with good (low dynamic
impedance) supply decoupling. Therefore, avoid throughhole contacts in the connection to the bypass capacitors
or use multiple through-hole contacts. Switching noise
from chopper-type power supplies should be filtered
enough to reduce influence on the circuit. Small resistors
(2Ω, for example) or damping inductors in series with the
supply connection (between the DC/DC converter and the
XTR circuit) act as a decoupling filter together with the
bypass capacitor, as shown in Figure 13.

Resistors connected close to the input pins help dampen
environmental noise coupled into conductor traces.
Therefore, place the OPA input- and IA input-related
resistors close to the package. Also, avoid additional wire
resistance in series to RSET, ROS, and RGAIN (observe the
reliability of the through-hole contacts), because this could
produce gain and offset error as well as drift; 1Ω is already
0.1% of the 1kΩ resistor.
The exposed lead-frame die pad on the bottom of the
package must be connected to V−, pin 11 (see the QFN
Package section for more details).
QFN PACKAGE
The XTR300 is available in a QFN package. This leadless,
near chip-scale package maximizes board space and
enhances thermal and electrical characteristics through
an exposed pad.
QFN packages are physically small, have a smaller
routing area, and improved thermal performance. For
optimal heat performance, the exposed power pad must
be connected to an adequate heat slug with at least six
thermal vias to a copper area. See the example land
pattern RGW (S-PQFP-N20), available for download at
www.ti.com or at the end of this datasheet.
The QFN package can be easily mounted using standard
printed circuit board (PCB) assembly techniques. See
Application Note, QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271)
and Application Report, Quad Flatpack No−Lead Logic
Packages (SCBA017), available for download at
www.ti.com, for more information.
The exposed leadframe die pad on the bottom of the
package must be connected to the V− pin, and proper heat
sinking has to be provided.
HEAT SINKING
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal, and
load conditions. It is dominated by the power dissipation of
the output transistors of the OPA. For DC signals, power
dissipation is equal to the product of output current, IOUT
and the output voltage across the conducting output
transistor (VS − VOUT).
It is important to note that the temperature protection will
not shut the part down in over-temperature conditions,
unless the EFOT pin is connected to the output enable pin
OD; see the section on Driver Output Disable.
The power that can be safely dissipated by the package is
related to the ambient temperature and the heatsink
design.
22
The QFN package was specifically designed to provide
excellent power dissipation, but board layout greatly
influences the heat dissipation of the package. Refer to the
QFN Package section for further details.
The XTR300 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(qJA) value of 38°C/W when soldered to a 2-oz copper
plane. This value can be further decreased by the addition
of forced air. See Table 2 for the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance of the QFN-20 package. Junction
temperature should be kept below +125°C for reliable
operation. The junction temperature can be calculated by:
TJ = TA + PD • qJA
where qJA = qJC + qCA
TJ = Junction Temperature (°C)
TA = Ambient Temperature (°C)
PD = Power Dissipated (W)
qJA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
qJC = Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance
qCA = Case-to-Air Thermal Resistance

Table 2. Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
with Various Heatsinking Efforts
To appropriately determine the required heatsink area,
required power dissipation should be calculated and the
relationship between power dissipation and thermal
resistance should be considered to minimize overheat
conditions and allow for reliable long-term operation.
The efficiency of the heat sinking can be tested using the
EFOT output signal. This output goes low at nominally
+140°C junction temperature (assume 6% tolerance).
With full-power dissipation—for example, maximum
current into a 0Ω load—the ambient temperature can be
slowly raised until the OT flag goes low; at this point, the
usable operation condition is determined.
The recommended landing pattern is shown in document
RGW (S-PQFP-N20). The nine (not less than six) throughhole contacts of the inner heat sink solder pad connect to
a copper plane in any one layer. It must be large enough
to efficiently distribute the heat into the PCB. This pad has
to be electrically connected to the V− pin to provide the
required substrate connection.
