Abstract
There is provided a two-wire transmitter which is connected to an external circuit by two transmission lines and which outputs a certain current signal to the external circuit using the external circuit as a power source. The two-wire transmitter includes: a sensor configured to convert a physical quantity into a first electrical signal and output the first electrical signal; a signal processing circuit configured to perform certain processing on the first electrical signal and output a second electrical signal; a constant current circuit configured to determine the certain current signal to be output to the external circuit, based on the second electrical signal; a reference voltage output unit configured to output a reference voltage based on the second electrical signal; and a shunt regulator circuit configured to determine a circuit voltage of the two-wire transmitter based on the reference voltage.
