In the current-output mode, a 0-V to 2.5-V control input is converted to a ±25-mA current output. As the input is unipolar, and the output is bipolar, a reference bias voltage (VREF) is required on the input stage of the XTR305. The bias voltage of 1.25 V is taken from a buffered VREFIO output from the AFE88201. Figure 8-4 shows the configuration of the XTR305 in current-output mode.
For current-output mode, OD is set high, M1 is set low, and M2 is set high. The normal transfer function for this circuit is given in Equation 10.
However, with the RSET resistor as an open circuit, the singular VIN term drops out. Using Equation 10, the ROS term sets the output. The transconductance gain is set by ROS according to Equation 11.
Select ROS = 499 Ω as a standard resistor value. This gives an IoutFSR of 50.1 mA, with an output range of ±25.05 mA. The transfer function is given by Equation 12.
Using the AFE88201, the transfer function from code to output current is shown in Equation 13.
When using the current-output mode, the output load voltage can be monitored through an analog output monitor in the XTR305. See also Section 8.2.1.2.1.3.
