Low-Power Pressure Sensor
6 Detailed Description
The MLX90603 is a System In a Package (SIP) that consists of two silicon dies:
• a MEMS absolute pressure sensor
• and a microcontroller based low power sensor interface (MLX10111),
assembled in a wide body (300mils) SOIC16 compatible package.
The MLX90603 is delivered as a fully tested and calibrated device.
6.1 Architecture
The heart of the MLX90603 is the Melexis 16 bit microcontroller: MLX16. It allows software control of:
• the sensor interface
o temperature and voltage measurements on the MLX10111
o measurements of the analog pressure sensor bridge or a 2nd sensor bridge
• the communication interface
o Internal RFID: 125kHz
o External RF
o Serial communication using 1 of the 5 digital IO’s
• the power management.
The microcontroller can access RAM, EEPROM and ROM memories. Also a programmable FLASH
memory is available for development and pre-production series. The standard software library with low-level
routines give access to all IC’s functions. Application examples offer a low-entry level introduction to the
MLX16 programming.

6.2 MEMORIES
6.2.1 EEPROM
The MLX90603 has 128 bytes of EEPROM on board. Half of this memory is reserved for internal operation
coefficients. The rest is available for application specific data like a sensor identification number.
6.2.2 RAM
RAM size is 256 bytes.
6.2.3 ROM/FLASH
The Program Memory size is 4K Word Instructions or 8 Kbytes.
6.3 Interrupts
A wide range of interrupt sources are available, each with their own interrupt vector address.
External interrupts include IRQ on digital IO’s or from the RFID interface.
Internal interrupts include a watchdog and 2 compare timers.
6.4 Measurement functions
A bandgap is used to generate the internal voltage reference, independent of the battery voltage.
The output of the pressure, temperature and voltage sensor are differential signals that are multiplexed on
the input of the signal conditioning chain.
• The actual measurement consists of the amplification of the analog value that then is converted to a
digital signal by an analogue to digital converter (ADC).
• Next these ADC output values are linearized, removing the offset and adjusting the sensitivity using
the calibration constants that are stored in the EEPROM. These calibration constants are
measured and programmed during the production test at Melexis.
Linearization time varies depending on the sensor (see specification). During the ADC measurement, the
microcontroller is switched off to reduce power consumption and noise influence during a measurement
(see power consumption below).
6.4.1 Absolute Pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is a separate silicon MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Structure) die based on piezoresistive wheatstone bridge. Under the sensitive pressure membrane a vacuum cavity serves as reference.
6.4.2 Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is part of the MLX10111.
6.4.3 Voltage sensor
The battery or supply voltage sensor is part of the MLX10111.

6.4.4 External sensor
Pin BP2 can be used to measure an extra analog sensor.
rd
The general I/O pins IO2 and IO4 can be configured as a differential input of a 3 sensor.
6.5 Communication interface
An external interface communication can be implemented in software, using any of the digital IO’s: any
serial RF/LF/SPI protocol can be programmed.
6.5.1 RF transmission
The communication protocol for RF transmission can be programmed in software, with preamble and CRC.
Normally the baud rate is generated in software, using the High Frequency Clock of the microcontroller
(HFO). The temperature variation of the internal RC oscillator can be reduced by extra software
compensation. As alternative, the stable external clock from the RF transmitter IC can be used for accurate
baud rate generation.
The MLX90603 can be used with most commercially available transmitters and transceivers. For instance
in combination with the Melexis TH720x range of RF transmitters an ASK or FSK data-stream can be
generated.
6.5.2 RFID or LF interface
The RFID interface operates at 125kHz. This operating frequency is set by an external inductance and
capacitor. Two sensitivity levels are available:
• A Strong Field Detector (SFD) is available in which the controller does not consume any current
from the battery. This can be used to wake up the IC in production test, and to maximize shelf life.
• A Medium Field Detector (MFD), is available in which the controller is sleeping and woken-up by an
external 125KHz signal, e.g. to start a measurement and do a transmission on demand.
6.6 Power management
Several hardwired features are integrated to minimize power consumption:
• Multiple power consumption operating modes: shelf mode, sleep mode, idle mode, run mode
• Optional 16bit CRC in hardware to reduce power consumption during communication
• Optional DMA mode (direct memory access) for low power RAM access during communication
6.7 Oscillators
VLFO: The Very Low Frequency Oscillator generates a 2 KHz clock that is used for the low-power Sleep
Mode: the sleep time can be programmed in steps of 250ms (= 0 to 64 seconds sleep time).
LFO:
The Low Frequency Oscillator generates a 32 KHz clock that can be used for low-power DMA
communication or to program short sleep periods
HFO:
The High Frequency Oscillator is the 1MHz micro-controller clock, instructions are executed based
on this clock: 4 clocks per instruction, 4us per instruction

7.3 Current consumption
The IC is designed for maximizing the battery life time in automotive applications. Four different operating
modes are considered:
7.3.1 SHELF MODE
In Shelf Mode the battery voltage is applied, but the IC consumes very little power: only the Power-Ono
Reset circuit is active (note: above 80 C the consumption increases). This shelf mode is used after the
TPMS module has been assembled and tested. In this mode the battery leakage is the biggest limit on
battery life. The module can exit shelf mode by an external interrupt, for instance a mechanical motion
switch or a strong RFID signal.
7.3.2 SLEEP MODE
Only the VLFO Oscillator is active in sleep mode. A digital counter will wake up the microcontroller on preprogrammed VLFO time intervals, as preset in software (typical between 0 – 64 sec). During SLEEP MODE
the total current consumption is ISLEEP = ISHELF + IVLFO.
7.3.3 RUN MODE
When the microcontroller clock is running (Clock = High Frequency Oscillator = HFO), the IC is in RUN
MODE and the microcontroller is executing instructions. Current consumption of the chip is now increased
to Irun.
7.3.4 IDLE MODE
During measurements the microcontroller is not used. Therefore an IDLE MODE has been introduced in
which only the ADC is functional, but the microcontroller is NOT executing instructions.

7.3.5 Battery life time calculation example
1. One Pressure + one Temperature measurement every 3 seconds
IMEAS = (2.22uAs + 2.35uAs) / 3s = 1.52 uA
2. One RF transmission every 30 sec, using messages of 10 bytes (80 bits) and 10kbps FSK.
The TH720xx transmitter at 3dBm RF power consumes 7mA and takes 1.5ms to start up.
consumption per message: 7ma * (8ms+1.5ms) = 66.5 uAs
Average transmit current: ITX = 66.5uAs/30s =
2.22 uA
3. Standby current depends on the choice of motion sensor:
a. No motion sensor:
ISLEEP =
b. With mechanical motion switch
ISHELF =
c. With MFD for LF initiation
ISLEEP+MFD =
0.52uA
0.22uA
0.57uA
4. Using a CR2450 battery with 540mAH capacity.
=> assume 1%/yr leakage, this consumes ILEAK = 0.62uA

(*) Assumption that vehicle is driving during 5% of the time, so that sensor measurements and RF
transmissions are active only 5% if motion detection is used. Without motion detection, the
measurements and transmissions must be done 100% of the time.
(**) In typical cases not the full rated battery capacity can be used. Therefore a battery life time for
60% of the rated capacity is estimated.
7.4 Temperature shut down
The timers, the microcontroller, the ADC and the sensors are guaranteed to operate up to 150C.
The temperature sensor works monotonously up to 150C. The MLX90603 can be programmed to go to
Sleep Mode without measuring, when the temperature rises above a defined value, it can restart measuring
when the temperature is again below this limit.

7.5 Motion detection
Several motion detection strategies can be implemented on the MLX90603: The MLX90603 has several
IO’s, some with interrupt capability. Wake-up from shelf or sleep mode can be realized using the interrupt
IO’s.
• The MLX90603 can read a mechanical motion switch with 1 digital interrupt input.
• The MLX90603 can read an acceleration IC with an analog input and 1 output to switch IC on/off
• The MLX90603 can read a low-cost circuit with PZT shock sensor (cfr application note)
7.6 LF Initiation
The IC coil inputs can be used for LF initiation (measurement on demand). Typically the 125 KHz LF field is
detected when the tire module rotates and comes close to the LF initiator in the wheel well. The wheel
rotation can be detected fast and with low power, if the coil input sensing is programmed with a low duty
cycle (e.g. duty cycle of 10% , 1ms on - 9ms off).
An alternative approach for very sensitive LF initiation is that the MLX90603 powers and measures an
external LF detection IC that uses two LF antennas.
7.7 Tools and libraries
7.7.1 Tools
The MLX16 environment is based on the EMLX-MM emulator/programmer tool, in combination with a C
compiler.
7.7.2 Standard library
A set of library functions is available to simplify the programming of the total application. A range of
application notes describe the software examples.
