MTL5544/MTL5544S - Repeater Power Supply

Two channel, for 4/20mA HART® for 2- or 3-wire transmitters
The MTL5544 provides fully-floating dc supplies for energising two conventional 2-wire or
3-wire 4/20mA or HART transmitters located in a hazardous area, and repeats the current in
other circuits to drive two safe-area loads. For HART transmitters, the unit allows bi-directional
transmission of digital communication signals superimposed on the 4/20mA loop current.
Alternatively, the MTL5544S acts as a current sink for a safe-area connection rather than driving
a current into the load. Separately powered current sources, such as 4-wire transmitters, can
be connected but will not support HART communication.

The MTL5544 or MTL5544S
can also be used to drive two
safe-area loads from a single
2-wire transmitter (i.e. 1 in,
2 out) by interconnecting the
input channels as shown in
the diagram (right).
Note: In this mode the HART
data is transferred via channel
1 output only.
