    摘要: A charge balanced feedback type transmitter generates charge packets representative of a sensed parameter. Improved performance is achieved by the additiion of resistance connected between a charge packet generating reactance and an integrator to reduce the effects of noise caused by switching transients and by ground noise which is coupled to the charge packet generating circuitry by stray capacitance. The charge packets are integrated by the integrater, and the integrator output is supplied from a selective basis to the input of a comparator. The output of the comparator is used to control the application of charge packets to the integrator to achieve charge balance. The input of the comparator is selectively connected to the output of the integrator, to a first supply voltage, or to a second supply voltage to ensure a stable output of the comparator at a critical time when charge is being supplied to the integrator.

    摘要: A process transmitter suitable for coupling to a process loop. The process transmitter includes a power regulator adapted to receive a power signal on the process loop and to provide a first signal having a first voltage. Digital components of the process transmitter are electrically coupled to the power regulator to receive power from the first signal. A step-up converter is electrically coupled to the power regulator and receives the first signal. The step-up converter outputs a second signal having a second voltage larger than the first voltage. Analog components of the process transmitter are electrically coupled to the step-up converter to receive power from the second signal.

    摘要: A two-wire industrial process control transmitter includes a sensor, at least two integrated circuits, and a level shift circuit. The first integrated circuit contains the analog measurement circuit that includes a sensor detection circuit and the analog portion of a digital-to-analog convertor. The second integrated circuit contains the digital system circuit that includes a modem and the digital portion of the analog-to-digital convertor. The first and second ICs may be powered at different voltage levels to maximize the power of the analog circuit and improve resolution. Alternatively, the ICs may be powered at the same voltage level, but the digital circuits are divided among several stacked dies to minimize the voltage for each digital circuit. In either case, the level shifting circuit shifts the voltage level between the analog and digital circuits.

Digital receiver circuitry in the conversion circuitry receives a digital signal transmitted over the primary process control loop from a field transmitter and responsively provides a digital output. A microprocessor receives the digital output and responsively provides a secondary loop control output. Secondary loop control circuitry for coupling to a secondary process control loop receives the secondary loop control output from the microprocessor and responsively controls current flowing through the secondary process control loop. The current flowing through the secondary process control loop is related to the digital signal transmitted by the field transmitter.
