Environmental Monitoring
The LTC®2990 is used to monitor system temperatures,
voltages and currents. Through the I2C serial interface,
the device can be configured to measure many combinations of internal temperature, remote temperature,
remote voltage, remote current and internal VCC. The
internal 10ppm/°C reference minimizes the number of
supporting components and area required. Selectable
address and configurable functionality give the LTC2990
flexibility to be incorporated in various systems needing
temperature, voltage or current data. The LTC2990 fits
well in systems needing sub-millivolt voltage resolution,
1% current measurement and 1°C temperature accuracy
or any combination of the three.

Pin Functions
V1 (Pin 1): First Monitor Input. This pin can be configured as a single-ended input or the positive input for a
differential or remote diode temperature measurement (in
combination with V2). When configured for remote diode
temperature, this pin will source a current.
V2 (Pin 2): Second Monitor Input. This pin can be configured as a single-ended input or the negative input for a
differential or remote diode temperature measurement (in
combination with V1). When configured for remote diode
temperature, this pin will have an internal termination,
while the measurement is active.
V3 (Pin 3): Third Monitor Input. This pin can be configured as a single-ended input or the positive input for a
differential or remote diode temperature measurement (in
combination with V4). When configured for remote diode
temperature, this pin will source a current.
V4 (Pin 4): Fourth Monitor Input. This pin can be configured as a single-ended input or the negative input for a
differential or remote diode temperature measurement (in
combination with V3). When configured for remote diode
temperature, this pin will have an internal termination,
while the measurement is active.
SDA (Pin 6): Serial Bus Data Input and Output. In the
transmitter mode (Read), the conversion result is output
through the SDA pin, while in the receiver mode (Write),
the device configuration bits are input through the SDA
pin. At data input mode, the pin is high impedance; while
at data output mode, it is an open-drain N-channel driver
and therefore an external pull-up resistor or current source
to VCC is needed.
SCL (Pin 7): Serial Bus Clock Input. The LTC2990 can
only act as a slave and the SCL pin only accepts external
serial clock. The LTC2990 does not implement clock
stretching.
ADR0 (Pin 8): Serial Bus Address Control Input. The ADR0
pin is an address control bit for the device I2C address.
ADR1 (Pin 9): Serial Bus Address Control Input. The
ADR1 pin is an address control bit for the device I2C
address. See Table 1.
VCC (Pin 10): Supply Voltage Input.
GND (Pin 5): Device Circuit Ground. Connect this pin to a
ground plane through a low impedance connection.

LTC2990
Operation
The LTC2990 monitors voltage, current, internal and
remote temperatures. It can be configured through an
I2C interface to measure many combinations of these parameters. Single or repeated measurements are possible.
Remote temperature measurements use a transistor as
a temperature sensor, allowing the remote sensor to be a
discrete NPN (ex. MMBT3904) or an embedded PNP device
in a microprocessor or FPGA. The internal ADC reference
minimizes the number of support components required.
The Functional Diagram displays the main components of
the device. The input signals are selected with an input
MUX, controlled by the control logic block. The control
logic uses the mode bits in the control register to manage
the sequence and types of data acquisition. The control
logic also controls the variable current sources during
remote temperature acquisition. The order of acquisitions
is fixed: TINTERNAL, V1, V2, V3, V4 then VCC. The ADC
performs the necessary conversion(s) and supplies the
data to the control logic for further processing in the case
of temperature measurements, or routing to the appropriate data register for voltage and current measurements.
Current and temperature measurements, V1 – V2 or V3
– V4, are sampled differentially by the internal ADC. The
I2C interface supplies access to control, status and data
registers. The ADR1 and ADR0 pins select one of four
possible I2C addresses (see Table 1). The undervoltage
detector inhibits I2C communication below the specified
threshold. During an undervoltage condition, the part is in
a reset state, and the data and control registers are placed
in the default state of 00h.
Remote diode measurements are conducted using multiple
ADC conversions and source currents to compensate for
sensor series resistance. During temperature measurements, the V2 or V4 terminal of the LTC2990 is terminated
with a diode. The LTC2990 is calibrated to yield the correct
temperature for a remote diode with an ideality factor of
1.004. See the applications section for compensation of
sensor ideality factors other than the factory calibrated
value of 1.004.
The LTC2990 communicates through an I2C serial interface.
The serial interface provides access to control, status and
data registers. I2C defines a 2-wire open-drain interface
supporting multiple slave devices and masters on a single
bus. The LTC2990 supports 100kbits/s in the standard
mode and up to 400kbit/s in fast mode. The four physical
addresses supported are listed in Table 1. The I2C interface
is used to trigger single conversions, or start repeated
conversions by writing to a dedicated trigger register. The
data registers contain a destructive-read status bit (data
valid), which is used in repeated mode to determine if
the register ’s contents have been previously read. This
bit is set when the register is updated with new data, and
cleared when read.

The LTC2990 can measure internal temperature and up
to two external diode or transistor sensors. During temperature conversion, current is sourced through either
the V1 or the V3 pin to forward bias the sensing diode.

LTC2990
Applications Information
The change in sensor voltage per degree temperature
change is 275µV/°C, so environmental noise must be kept
to a minimum. Recommended shielding and PCB trace
considerations are illustrated in Figure 2.
The diode equation:
VBE = η •
I 
k•T
• ln  C 
q
 IS 
(1)
can be solved for T, where T is Kelvin degrees, IS is a
process dependent factor on the order of 1E-13, η is the
diode ideality factor, k is Boltzmann’s constant and q is
the electron charge.
VBE • q
T=
I 
η • k • In  C 
 IS 
(2)
sensor can be considered a temperature scaling factor.
The temperature error for a 1% accurate ideality factor
error is 1% of the Kelvin temperature. Thus, at 25°C, or
298°K, a +1% accurate ideality factor error yields a +2.98
degree error. At 85°C or 358°K, a +1% error yields a 3.6
degree error. It is possible to scale the measured Kelvin
or Celsius temperature measured using the LTC2990 with
a sensor ideality factor other than 1.004, to the correct
value. The scaling Equations (3) and (4) are simple, and
can be implemented with sufficient precision using 16-bit
fixed-point math in a microprocessor or microcontroller.

Ideality Factor Scaling
The LTC2990 is factory calibrated for an ideality factor of
1.004, which is typical of the popular MMBT3904 NPN
transistor. The semiconductor purity and wafer-level processing limits device-to-device variation, making these
devices interchangeable (typically <0.5C) for no additional
cost. Several manufacturers supply suitable transistors,

an ideality factor value of 1.004 is typical of target sensors, small deviations can yield significant temperature

A 16-bit unsigned number is capable of representing the
ratio ηACT/ηCAL in a range of 0.00003 to 1.99997, by
multiplying the fractional ratio by 215. The range of scaling encompasses every conceivable target sensor value.
The ideality factor scaling granularity yields a worst-case
temperature error of 0.01° at 125°C. Multiplying this 16‑bit
unsigned number and the measured Kelvin (unsigned)
temperature represented as a 16-bit number, yields a
32‑bit unsigned result. To scale this number back to a
13‑bit temperature (9-bit integer part, and a 4-bit fractional
part), divide the number by 215 per Equation (5). Similarly,
Celsius coded temperature values can be scaled using
16-bit fixed-point arithmetic, using Equation (6). In both
cases, the scaled result will have a 9-bit integer (d[12:4])
and the 4LSBs (d[3:0]) representing the 4-bit fractional
part. To convert the corrected result to decimal, divide
the final result by 24 or 16, as you would the register

Sampling Currents
Single-ended voltage measurements are directly sampled
by the internal ADC. The average ADC input current is a
function of the input applied voltage as follows:
IIN(AVG) = (VIN – 1.49) • 0.17µA
Inputs with source resistance less than 200Ω will yield
full-scale gain errors due to source impedance of <1/2LSB
for 14-bit conversions. The nominal conversion time is
1.5ms for single-ended conversions.
Current Measurements
The LTC2990 has the ability to perform 14-bit current
measurements with the addition of a current sense resistor (see Figure 3).
In order to achieve accurate current sensing a few details must be considered. Differential voltage or current
measurements are directly sampled by the internal ADC. The
average ADC input current for each leg of the differential
input signal during a conversion is (VIN – 1.49) • 0.34µA.
The maximum source impedance to yield 14-bit results
with, 1/2LSB full-scale error is ~50Ω. In order to achieve
high accuracy, 4-point, or Kelvin connected measurements
of the sense resistor differential voltage are necessary.
In the case of current measurements, the external sense
resistor is typically small, and determined by the full-scale
input voltage of the LTC2990. The full-scale differential
voltage is 0.300V. The external sense resistance is then a
function of the maximum measurable current, or REXT_MAX
= 0.300/IMAX. For example, if you wanted to measure a
current range of ±5A, the external shunt resistance would
equal 0.300/5 = 60mΩ.
There exists a way to improve the sense resistor’s precision
using the LTC2990. The LTC2990 measures both differential
voltage and remote temperature. It is therefore, possible
to compensate for the absolute resistance tolerance of the
sense resistor and the temperature coefficient of the sense
resistor in software. The resistance would be measured
by running a calibrated test current through the discrete
resistor. The LTC2990 would measure both the differential
voltage across this resistor and the resistor temperature.
From this measurement, RO and TO in the equation below would be known. Using the two equations, the host
microprocessor could compensate for both the absolute
tolerance and the TCR.
RT = RO • [1 + α(T – TO)]

Applications Information
Device Configuration
The LTC2990 is configured by writing the control register
through the serial interface. Refer to Table 4 for control
register bit definition. The device is capable of many application configurations including voltage, temperature
and current measurements. It is possible to configure the
device for single or repeated acquisitions. For repeated
acquisitions, only the initial trigger is required and new data
is written over the old data. Acquisitions are frozen during
serial read data transfers to prevent the upper and lower
data bytes for a particular measurement from becoming
out of sync. Internally, both the upper and lower bytes
are written at the same instant. Since serial data transfer
timeout is not implemented, failure to terminate a read
operation will yield an indefinitely frozen wait state. The
device can also make single measurements, or with one
trigger, all of the measurements for the configuration. When
the device is configured for multiple measurements, the
order of measurements is fixed. As each new data result
is ready, the MSB of the corresponding data register is
set, and the corresponding status register bit is set. These
bits are cleared when the corresponding data register is
addressed. The configuration register value at power-up
yields the measurement of only the internal temperature
sensor, if triggered. The four input pins V1 through V4 will
be in a high impedance state, until configured otherwise,
and a measurement triggered.
Data Format
The data registers are broken into 8-bit upper and lower
bytes. Voltage and current conversions are 14-bits. The
upper bits in the MSB registers provide status on the
resulting conversions. These status bits are different for
temperature and voltage conversions:
Temperature: Temperature conversions are reported as
Celsius or Kelvin results described in Tables 7 and 8,
each with 0.0625 degree-weighted LSBs. The format is
controlled by the control register, Bit 7. All temperature
formats, TINT , TR1 and TR2 are controlled by this bit. The
Temperature MSB result register most significant bit
(Bit 7) is the DATA_VALID bit, which indicates whether
the current register contents have been accessed since
the result was written to the register. This bit will be set
when new data is written to the register, and cleared when
accessed. Bit 6 of the register is a sensor-shorted alarm.
This bit of the corresponding register will be high if the
remote sensor diode differential voltage is below 0.14 VDC.
The LTC2990 internal bias circuitry maintains this voltage
above this level during normal operating conditions. Bit 5
of the register is a sensor open alarm. This bit of the corresponding register will be high if the remote sensor diode
differential voltage is above 1.0VDC. The LTC2990 internal
bias circuitry maintains this voltage below this level during
normal operating conditions. The two sensor alarms are
only valid after a completed conversion indicated by the
data_valid bit being high. Bit 4 through Bit 0 of the MSB
register are the conversion result bits D[12:8], in two’s
compliment format. Note in Kelvin results, the result will
always be positive. The LSB register contains temperature
result bits D[7:0]. To convert the register contents to
temperature, use the following equation:
T = D[12:0]/16.
See Table 9 for conversion value examples.
Voltage/Current: Voltage results are reported in two respective registers, an MSB and LSB register. The Voltage MSB
result register most significant bit (Bit 7) is the data_valid
bit, which indicates whether the current register contents
have been accessed since the result was written to the
register. This bit will be set when the register contents are
new, and cleared when accessed. Bit 6 of the MSB register
is the sign bit, Bits 5 though 0 represent bits D[13:8] of
the two’s complement conversion result. The LSB register
holds conversion bits D[7:0]. The LSB value is different
for single-ended voltage measurements V1 through V4,
and differential (current measurements) V1 – V2 and V3
– V4. Single-ended voltages are limited to positive values
in the range 0V to 3.5V. Differential voltages can have input
values in the range of –0.300V to 0.300V.
Use the following equations to convert the register values
(see Table 9 for examples):
VSINGLE-ENDED = D[13:0] • 305.18µV
VDIFFERENTIAL = D[13:0] • 19.42µV, if Sign = 0
VDIFFERENTIAL = (D[13:0] +1) • –19.42µV, if Sign = 1
Current = D[13:0] • 19.42µV/RSENSE, if Sign = 0
Current = (D[13:0] +1) • –19.42µV/RSENSE, if Sign = 1,

VCC: The LTC2990 measures VCC. To convert the contents of
the VCC register to voltage, use the following equation:
VCC = 2.5 + D[13:0] • 305.18µV
Digital Interface
The LTC2990 communicates with a bus master using a
two-wire interface compatible with the I2C Bus and the
SMBus, an I2C extension for low power devices.
The LTC2990 is a read-write slave device and supports
SMBus bus Read Byte Data and Write Byte Data, Read Word
Data and Write Word Data commands. The data formats
for these commands are shown in Tables 2 though 9.
The connected devices can only pull the bus wires LOW
and can never drive the bus HIGH. The bus wires are
externally connected to a positive supply voltage via a
current source or pull-up resistor. When the bus is free,
both lines are HIGH. Data on the I2C bus can be transferred
at rates of up to 100kbit/s in the standard mode and up to
400kbit/s in the fast mode. Each device on the I2C bus is
recognized by a unique address stored in that device and
can operate as either a transmitter or receiver, depending
on the function of the device. In addition to transmitters
and receivers, devices can also be considered as masters
or slaves when performing data transfers. A master is
the device which initiates a data transfer on the bus and
generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. At the
same time any device addressed is considered a slave.
The LTC2990 can only be addressed as a slave. Once addressed, it can receive configuration bits or transmit the
last conversion result. Therefore the serial clock line SCL
is an input only and the data line SDA is bidirectional. The
device supports the standard mode and the fast mode for
data transfer speeds up to 400kbit/s. The Timing Diagram
shows the definition of timing for fast/standard mode
devices on the I2C bus. The internal state machine cannot
update internal data registers during an I2C read operation.
The state machine pauses until the I2C read is complete.
It is therefore, important not to leave the LTC2990 in this
state for long durations, or increased conversion latency
will be experienced.
START and STOP Conditions
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA must be high. A
bus master signals the beginning of a transmission with
a START condition by transitioning SDA from high to low
while SCL is high. When the bus is in use, it stays busy
if a repeated START (SR) is generated instead of a STOP
condition. The repeated START (SR) conditions are functionally identical to the START (S). When the master has
finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP
condition by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL
is high. The bus is then free for another transmission.
I2C Device Addressing
Four distinct bus addresses are configurable using the
ADR0-ADR1 pins. Table 1 shows the correspondence
between ADR0 and ADR1 pin states and addresses.
Acknowledge
The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the transmitter and the receiver to indicate that the last byte
of data was received. The transmitter always releases the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse. When the
slave is the receiver, it must pull down the SDA line so that
it remains LOW during this pulse to acknowledge receipt
of the data. If the slave fails to acknowledge by leaving
SDA HIGH, then the master can abort the transmission by
generating a STOP condition. When the master is receiving
data from the slave, the master must pull down the SDA
line during the clock pulse to indicate receipt of the data.
After the last byte has been received the master will leave
the SDA line HIGH (not acknowledge) and issue a STOP
condition to terminate the transmission.
Write Protocol
The master begins communication with a START condition followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W#
bit set to zero. The addressed LTC2990 acknowledges
the address and then the master sends a command byte
which indicates which internal register the master wishes
to write. The LTC2990 acknowledges the command byte
and then latches the lower four bits of the command byte
into its internal Register Address pointer. The master then
2990f
12
LTC2990
Applications Information
delivers the data byte and the LTC2990 acknowledges
once more and latches the data into its internal register.
The transmission is ended when the master sends a STOP
condition. If the master continues sending a second data
byte, as in a Write Word command, the second data byte
will be acknowledged by the LTC2990 and written to the next
register in sequence, if this register has write access.
Read Protocol
The master begins a read operation with a START condition
followed by the seven bit slave address and the R/W# bit
set to zero. The addressed LTC2990 acknowledges this and
then the master sends a command byte which indicates
which internal register the master wishes to read. The
LTC2990 acknowledges this and then latches the lower four
bits of the command byte into its internal Register Address
pointer. The master then sends a repeated START condition
followed by the same seven bit address with the R/W# bit
now set to one. The LTC2990 acknowledges and sends
the contents of the requested register. The transmission
is ended when the master sends a STOP condition. The
register pointer is automatically incremented after each
byte is read. If the master acknowledges the transmitted
data byte, as in a Read Word command, the LTC2990
will send the contents of the next sequential register as
the second data byte. The byte following register 0x0F is
register 0x00, or the status register.

Control Register
The control register (Table 3) determines the selected
measurement mode of the device. The LTC2990 can be
configured to measure voltages, currents and temperatures. These measurements can be single-shot or repeated
measurements. Temperatures can be set to report in
Celsius or Kelvin temperature scales. The LTC2990 can be
configured to run particular measurements, or all possible
measurements per the configuration specified by the mode
bits. The power-on default configuration of the control
register is set to 0x00, which translates to a repeated
measurement of the internal temperature sensor, when
triggered. This mode prevents the application of remote
diode test currents on pins V1 and V3, and remote diode
terminations on pins V2 and V4 at power-up.
Status Register
The status register (Table 3) reports the status of a particular conversion result. When new data is written into a
particular result register, the corresponding DATA_VALID
bit is set. When the register is addressed by the I2C interface, the status bit (as well as the DATA_VALID bit in the
respective register) is cleared. The host can then determine
if the current available register data is new or stale. The
busy bit, when high, indicates a single-shot conversion is
in progress. The busy bit is always high during repeated
mode, after the initial conversion is triggered.
