7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The TMP451 device is a digital temperature sensor that combines a local temperature measurement channel and a remote-junction temperature measurement channel in a single DFN-8 package. The device is two-wire- and SMBus-interface compatible, and is specified over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. The TMP451 device also contains multiple registers for programming and holding configuration settings, temperature limits, and temperature measurement results.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Temperature Measurement Data

The local and remote temperature sensors have a resolution of 12 bits (0.0625°C). Temperature data that result from conversions within the default measurement range are represented in binary form, as shown in the STANDARD BINARY column of Table 1. Any temperature below 0°C results in a data value of 0 (00h). Likewise, temperatures above 127°C result in a value of 127 (7Fh). The device can be set to measure over an extended temperature range by changing bit 2 (RANGE) of configuration register from low to high. The change in measurement range and data format from standard binary to extended binary occurs at the next temperature conversion. For data captured in the extended temperature range configuration, an offset of 64 (40h) is added to the standard binary value, as shown in the EXTENDED BINARY column of Table 1. This configuration allows measurement of temperatures as low as –64°C, and as high as 191°C; however, most temperature-sensing diodes only measure with the range of –55°C to 150°C. Additionally, the TMP451 device is specified only for ambient temperatures ranging from –40°C to 125°C; parameters in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table must be observed.

(1) Resolution is 1°C/count. Negative values produce a read of 0°C.
(2) Resolution is 1°C/count. All values are unsigned with a –64°C offset.

Both local and remote temperature data use two bytes for data storage. The high byte stores the temperature with 1°C resolution. The second or low byte stores the decimal fraction value of the temperature and allows a higher measurement resolution, as shown in Table 2. The measurement resolution for both the local and the remote channels is 0.0625°C.

7.3.1.1 Standard Binary-to-Decimal Temperature Data Calculation Example

High-byte conversion (for example, 0111 0011):

Convert the right-justified binary high byte to hexadecimal.

From hexadecimal, multiply the first number by 160 = 1 and the second number by 161 = 16.

The sum equals the decimal equivalent.

0111 0011b → 73h → (3 × 160) + (7 × 161) = 115

Low-byte conversion (for example, 0111 0000):

To convert the left-justified binary low-byte to decimal, use bits 7 through 4 and ignore bits 3 through 0 because they do not affect the value of the number.

0111b → (0 × 1/2)1 + (1 × 1/2)2 + (1 × 1/2)3 + (1 × 1/2)4 = 0.4375

7.3.1.2 Standard Decimal-to-Binary Temperature Data Calculation Example

For positive temperatures (for example, 20°C):

(20°C) / (1°C/count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100

Convert the number to binary code with 8-bit, right-justified format, and MSB = 0 to denote a positive sign.

20°C is stored as 0001 0100 → 14h.

For negative temperatures (for example, –20°C):

(|–20|) / (1°C/count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100

Generate the two's complement of a negative number by complementing the absolute value binary number and adding 1.

–20°C is stored as 1110 1100 → ECh.

7.3.2 Series Resistance Cancellation

Series resistance cancellation automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by the resistance of the routing to the remote transistor or by the resistors of the optional external low-pass filter. A total of up to 1 kΩ of series resistance can be cancelled by the TMP451 device, eliminating the need for additional characterization and temperature offset correction. See Figure 5 for details on the effects of series resistance on sensed remote temperature error.

7.3.3 Differential Input Capacitance

The TMP451 device tolerates differential input capacitance of up to 1000 pF with minimal change in temperature error. The effect of capacitance on sensed remote temperature error is shown in Figure 6.

7.3.4 Filtering

Remote junction temperature sensors are usually implemented in a noisy environment. Noise is most often created by fast digital signals, and it can corrupt measurements. The TMP451 device has a built-in, 65-kHz filter on the inputs of D+ and D– to minimize the effects of noise. However, a bypass capacitor placed differentially across the inputs of the remote temperature sensor is recommended to make the application more robust against unwanted coupled signals. For this capacitor, select a value of between 100 pF and 1 nF. Some applications attain better overall accuracy with additional series resistance; however, this increased accuracy is application-specific. When series resistance is added, the total value should not be greater than 1 kΩ. If filtering is required, suggested component values are 100 pF and 50 Ω on each input; exact values are application-specific.

Additionally, a digital filter is available for the remote temperature measurements to further reduce the effect of noise. This filter is programmable and has two levels when enabled. Level 1 performs a moving average of four consecutive samples. Level 2 performs a moving average of eight consecutive samples. The value stored in the remote temperature result register is the output of the digital filter, and the ALERT and THERM limits are compared to it. This provides additional immunity to noise and spikes on the ALERT and THERM outputs. The filter responses are shown in Figure 12. The filter can be enabled or disabled by programming the desired levels in the digital filter register. The digital filter is disabled by default and on POR.

ai_filterresp_bos686.gifFigure 12. Filter Response to Impulse and Step Inputs

7.3.5 Sensor Fault

The TMP451 device can sense a fault at the D+ input resulting from incorrect diode connection. The TMP451 device can also sense an open circuit. Short-circuit conditions return a value of –64°C. The detection circuitry consists of a voltage comparator that trips when the voltage at D+ exceeds (V+) – 0.3 V (typical). The comparator output is continuously checked during a conversion. If a fault is detected, then OPEN (bit 2) in the status register is set to 1.

When not using the remote sensor with the TMP451 device, the D+ and D– inputs must be connected together to prevent meaningless fault warnings.

7.3.6 ALERT and THERM Functions

The operation of the ALERT (pin 6) and THERM (pin 4) interrupts is shown in Figure 13. The operation of the THERM (pin 4) and THERM2 (pin 6) interrupts is shown in Figure 14.

ai_alertresp_slos877.gifFigure 13. ALERT and THERM Interrupt Operation
ai_thermresp_slos877.gifFigure 14. THERM and THERM2 Interrupt Operation

The hysteresis value is stored in the THERM hysteresis register. The value of the CONAL[2:0] bits in the consecutive ALERT register determines the number of limit violations before the ALERT pin is tripped. The default value is 000b and corresponds to one violation, 001b programs two consecutive violations, 011b programs three consecutive violations, and 111b programs four consecutive violations. This provides additional filtering for the ALERT pin state.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Shutdown Mode (SD)

The TMP451 shutdown mode enables the user to save maximum power by shutting down all device circuitry other than the serial interface, reducing current consumption to typically less than 3 μA; see Figure 11. Shutdown mode is enabled when the SD bit (bit 6) of the configuration register is high; the device shuts down after the current conversion is finished. When the SD bit is low, the device maintains a continuous-conversion state.

7.4.2 One-shot Mode

When the TMP451 device is in shutdown mode (SD = 1 in the configuration register), a single conversion is started by writing any value to the one-shot start register, pointer address 0Fh. This write operation starts one conversion and comparison cycle on both the local and the remote sensors. The TMP451 device returns to shutdown mode when the cycle completes. The value of the data sent in the write command is irrelevant and is not stored by the TMP451 device.

7.5 Programming

7.5.1 Serial Interface

The TMP451 device operates only as a slave device on either the two-wire bus or the SMBus. Connections to either bus are made using the open-drain I/O lines, SDA and SCL. The SDA and SCL pins feature integrated spike suppression filters and Schmitt triggers to minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise. The TMP451 device supports the transmission protocol for fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and high-speed (1 kHz to 2.5 MHz) modes. All data bytes are transmitted MSB first.

7.5.1.1 Bus Overview

The TMP451 device is SMBus interface compatible. In SMBus protocol, the device that initiates the transfer is called a master, and the devices controlled by the master are slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions.

To address a specific device, a START condition is initiated. A START condition is indicated by pulling the data line (SDA) from a high-to-low logic level while SCL is high. All slaves on the bus shift in the slave address byte, with the last bit indicating whether a read or write operation is intended. During the ninth clock pulse, the slave being addressed responds to the master by generating an acknowledge bit and pulling SDA low.

Data transfer is then initiated and sent over eight clock pulses followed by an acknowledge bit. During data transfer SDA must remain stable while SCL is high, because any change in SDA while SCL is high is interpreted as a control signal.

After all data have been transferred, the master generates a STOP condition. A STOP condition is indicated by pulling SDA from low to high, while SCL is high.

7.5.1.2 Bus Definitions

The TMP451 device is two-wire and SMBus-compatible. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the timing for various operations on the TMP451 device. The bus definitions are as follows:

    Acknowledge:Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge bit. A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock pulse. Take setup and hold times into account. On a master receive, data transfer termination can be signaled by the master generating a not-acknowledge on the last byte that has been transmitted by the slave.
    Bus Idle: Both SDA and SCL lines remain high.
    Data Transfer:The number of data bytes transferred between a START and a STOP condition is not limited and is determined by the master device. The receiver acknowledges data transfer.
    Start Data Transfer:A change in the state of the SDA line, from high to low, while the SCL line is high, defines a start condition. Each data transfer initiates with a START condition.
    Stop Data Transfer: A change in the state of the SDA line from low to high while the SCL line is high defines a STOP condition. Each data transfer terminates with a repeated START or STOP condition.

7.5.1.3 Serial Bus Address

To communicate with the TMP451 device, the master must first address slave devices using a slave address byte. The slave address byte consists of seven address bits, and a direction bit indicating the intent of executing a read or write operation. The TMP451 device has a device address of 4Ch (1001 100b). Additional factory-programmed device addresses are available upon request.

7.5.1.4 Read and Write Operations

Accessing a particular register on the TMP451 device is accomplished by writing the appropriate value to the pointer register. The value for the pointer register is the first byte transferred after the slave address byte with the R/W bit low. Every write operation to the TMP451 device requires a value for the pointer register (see Figure 15).

When reading from the TMP451 device the last value stored in the pointer register by a write operation is used to determine which register is read by a read operation. To change which register is read for a read operation, a new value must be written to the pointer register. This transaction is accomplished by issuing a slave address byte with the R/W bit low, followed by the pointer register byte; no additional data are required. The master can then generate a START condition and send the slave address byte with the R/W bit high to initiate the read command; see Figure 16 for details of this sequence.

If repeated reads from the same register are desired, it is not necessary to continually send the pointer register bytes, because the TMP451 device retains the pointer register value until it is changed by the next write operation. The register bytes are sent MSB first, followed by the LSB.

Read operations should be terminated by issuing a not-acknowledge command at the end of the last byte to be read. For single-byte operation, the master must leave the SDA line high during the acknowledge time of the first byte that is read from the slave.

7.5.1.5 Time-out Function

If the SMBus time-out function is enabled, the TMP451 device resets the serial interface if either SCL or SDA are held low for 25 ms (typical) between a START and STOP condition. If the TMP451 device is holding the bus low, the device releases the bus and waits for a START condition. To avoid activating the time-out function, maintaining a communication speed of at least 1 kHz for the SCL operating frequency is necessary. The SMBTO bit (bit 7) of the consecutive ALERT register controls the time-out enable. Setting the SMBTO bit to a value of 0 (default) disables the time-out. Setting the SMBTO bit to a value of 1 enables the function.

7.5.1.6 High-speed Mode

For the two-wire bus to operate at frequencies above 1 MHz, the master device must issue a high-speed mode (Hs-mode) master code (0000 1xxx) as the first byte after a START condition to switch the bus to high-speed operation. The TMP451 device does not acknowledge this byte, but switches the input filters on SDA and SCL and the output filter on SDA to operate in Hs-mode, allowing transfers at up to 2.5 MHz. After the Hs-mode master code has been issued, the master transmits a two-wire slave address to initiate a data transfer operation. The bus continues to operate in Hs-mode until a STOP condition occurs on the bus. Upon receiving the STOP condition, the TMP451 device switches the input and output filters back to fast mode operation.

7.5.1.7 General Call Reset

The TMP451 device supports reset using the two-wire general call address 00h (0000 0000b). The TMP451 device acknowledges the general call address and responds to the second byte. If the second byte is 06h (0000 0110b), the TMP451 device executes a software reset. This software reset restores the power-on reset state to all TMP451 registers, and it aborts any conversion in progress. The TMP451 device takes no action in response to other values in the second byte.

7.6.1 Register Information

The TMP451 device contains multiple registers for holding configuration information, temperature measurement results, and status information. These registers are described in Figure 17 and Table 3.

7.6.1.1 Pointer Register

Figure 17 shows the internal register structure of the TMP451 device. The 8-bit pointer register is used to address a given data register. The pointer register identifies which of the data registers should respond to a read or write command on the two-wire bus. This register is set with every write command. A write command must be issued to set the proper value in the pointer register before executing a read command. Table 3 describes the pointer register and the internal structure of the TMP451 registers. The power-on reset (POR) value of the pointer register is 00h (0000 0000b).

7.6.1.2 Temperature Registers

The TMP451 device has multiple 8-bit registers that hold temperature measurement results. The eight most significant bits (MSBs) of the local temperature sensor result are stored in register 00h, while the four least significant bits (LSBs) are stored in register 15h (the four MSBs of register 15h). The eight MSBs of the remote temperature sensor result are stored in register 01h, and the four LSBs are stored in register 10h (the four MSBs of register 10h). The four LSBs of both the local sensor and the remote sensor indicate the temperature value after the decimal point (for example, if the temperature result is 10.0625˚C, the high byte is 0000 1010 and the low byte is 0001 0000). These registers are read-only and are updated by the ADC each time a temperature measurement.

When the full temperature value is needed, reading the MSB value first causes the LSB value to be locked (the ADC does not write to it) until it is read. The same thing happens upon reading the LSB value first (the MSB value is locked until it is read). This mechanism assures that both bytes of the read operation are from the same ADC conversion. This assurance remains valid only until another register is read. For proper operation, read the high byte of the temperature result first. Read the low byte register in the next read command; if the LSBs are not needed, the register may be left unread. The power-on reset value of all temperature registers is 00h.

Local THERM limit status indicator


1 = Local THERM limit is tripped. This bit is cleared upon reading the Status Register providing that the condition causing the over temperature result is no longer present.

(1) These flags stay high until the status register is read or they are reset by a POR when pin 6 is configured as ALERT. Only bit 2 (OPEN) stays high until the status register is read or it is reset by a POR when pin 6 is configured as THERM2.

The status register reports the state of the temperature ADC, the temperature limit comparators, and the connection to the remote sensor. Table 6 lists the status register bits. The status register is read-only, and is read by accessing pointer address 02h.

The LHIGH and LLOW bits indicate a local sensor overtemperature or undertemperature event, respectively. The RHIGH and RLOW bits indicate a remote sensor overtemperature or undertemperature event, respectively. The OPEN bit indicates an open-circuit condition on the remote sensor. When pin 6 is configured as the ALERT output, the five flags are NORed together. If any of the five flags are high, the ALERT interrupt latch is set and the ALERT output goes low. Reading the status register clears the five flags, provided that the condition that caused the setting of the flags is not present anymore (that is, the value of the corresponding result register is within the limits, or the remote sensor is connected properly and functional). The ALERT interrupt latch (and the ALERT pin correspondingly) is not reset by reading the status register. The reset is done by the master reading the temperature sensor device address to service the interrupt, and only if the flags have been reset and the condition that caused them to be set is not present.

The RTHRM and LTHRM flags are set when the corresponding temperature exceeds the programmed THERM limit. They are reset automatically when the temperature returns to within the limits. The THERM output goes low in the case of overtemperature on either the local or the remote channel, and goes high as soon as the measurements are within the limits again. The THERM hysteresis register (21h) allows hysteresis to be added so that the flag resets and the output goes high when the temperature returns to or goes below the limit value minus the hysteresis value.

When pin 6 is configured as THERM2, only the high limits matter. The LHIGH and RHIGH flags are set if the respective temperatures exceed the limit values, and the pin goes low to indicate the event. The LLOW and RLOW flags have no effect on THERM2, and the output behaves the same way when configured as THERM.

0 = 0 °C to 127°C

MASK1 of the configuration register masks the ALERT output. If MASK1 is 0 (default), the ALERT output is enabled. If MASK1 is set to 1, the ALERT output is disabled. This configuration applies only if the value of ALERT/THERM2 bit is 0 (that is, pin 6 is configured as the ALERT output). If pin 6 is configured as the THERM2 output, the value of the MASK1 bit has no effect.

The shutdown bit, SD, enables or disables the temperature-measurement circuitry. If SD = 0 (default), the TMP451 device converts continuously at the rate set in the conversion rate register. When SD is set to 1, the TMP451 device stops converting when the current conversion sequence is complete and enters a shutdown mode. When SD is set to 0 again, the TMP451 resumes continuous conversions. When SD = 1, a single conversion can be started by writing to the one-shot start register. See the One-shot Mode section for more information.

ALERT/THERM2 (bit 5) sets the configuration of pin 6. If the ALERT/THERM2 bit is 0 (default), then pin 6 is configured as the ALERT output; if it is set to 1, then pin 6 is configured as the THERM2 output.

The temperature range is set by configuring RANGE (bit 2) of the configuration register. Setting this bit low (default) configures the TMP451 device for the standard measurement range (0°C to 127°C); temperature conversions are stored in the standard binary format. Setting bit 2 high configures the TMP451 device for the extended measurement range (–64°C to 191°C); temperature conversions are stored in the extended binary format (see Table 1).

The remaining bits of the configuration register are reserved and must always be set to 0. The power-on reset value for this register is 00h.

Conversion rate selection. Refer to Table 9

The conversion rate register (read address 04h, write address 0Ah) controls the rate at which temperature conversions are performed. This register adjusts the idle time between conversions but not the conversion time itself, thereby allowing the TMP451 power dissipation to be balanced with the temperature register update rate. Table 9 lists the conversion rate options and corresponding time between conversions. The default value of the register is 08h, which gives a default rate of 16 conversions per second.

The value η in Equation 1 is a characteristic of the particular transistor used for the remote channel. The power-on reset value for the TMP451 device is η = 1.008. The value in the η-factor correction register may be used to adjust the effective η-factor according to Equation 2 and Equation 3.

Equation 2. q_neff_bos686.gif
Equation 3. q_nadjust_bos686.gif

The η-factor correction value must be stored in twos complement format, yielding an effective data range from –128 to 127. The η-factor correction value is written to and read from pointer address 23h. The register power-on reset value is 00h, thus having no effect unless a different value is written to it.
