This circuit shows how to use an LTC1453 to make an
opto-isolated digitally controlled 4mA to 20mA process
controller. The controller circuitry, including the opto-
isolation, is powered by the loop voltage that can have a
wide range of 3.3V to 30V. The 1.22V reference output of
the LTC1453 is used for the 4mA offset current and V
is used for the digitally controlled 0mA to 16mA current.
R
transistor Q1 to provide the 4mA to 20mA current through
this resistor. The potentiometers allow for offset and full-
scale adjustment. The control circuitry dissipates well
under the 4mA budget at zero-scale.

Note that although these DACs have internal Schmitt
triggers and are suitable for use with slow rising edges
such as produced by the above optoisolator, the use of
optoisolators in a daisy-chained topology requires the
addition of a gate or the use of a fast isolator on the clock
signal. Setup and hold times between D
guaranteed unless a clock edge with a rise time of less than
100ns is provided.
