TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
This circuit shows how to use an LTC1655 to make an
optoisolated digitally controlled 4mA to 20mA process
controller. The controller circuitry, including the
optoisolation, is powered by the loop voltage that can have
a wide range of 6V to 30V. The 2.048V reference output of
the LTC1655 is used for the 4mA offset current and V

scale adjustment. The control circuitry dissipates well
under the 4mA budget at zero scale.
