Renesas Electronics 4-20mA Current Loop System for Industrial Control

Renesas Electronics 4-20mA Current Loop System for Industrial Control is the dominate standard for sensor systems in many industries. The system is simple to configure and connect. Less wiring and connections are used than other signals, therefore overall system cost is reduced. In large locations, the system is better for traveling long distances, since current doesn't degrade like voltage.

This winning combination shows a possible receiver solution with Renesas’ precision digital power monitor (DPM), stable power source and low power processing capabilities of the Arm® Cortex-based RA2A1 MCU.

Features

  • Low power and signal processing features of Renesas’ RA2A1 Arm Cortex-M23 microcontroller
  • Precision digital power monitoring with the ISL28022 and low current consumption
  • Stable voltage from Renesas’ ISL80101A for low-noise and high-PSRR applications
