4-20mA Current Loop Transmitter
Overview

The MS8115 / MS8116 / MS8113 are precision two‑wire current loop transmitters designed to transmit 4mA to 20mA analog signals, providing accurate current regulation and current limiting.

An integrated voltage regulator can supply 5V to external circuits. The precision internal reference provides either 2.5V or 4.096V for external circuitry. The current return pin (RET) senses any current drawn from the external circuit, enabling precise control of the output current.
