MAX1458 General Description The MAX1458 highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor is optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation without any external components. It includes a programmable current source for sensor excitation, a 3-bit programmable-gain amplifier (PGA), a 128bit internal EEPROM, and four 12-bit DACs. Achieving a total error factor within 1% of the sensor’s repeatability errors, the MAX1458 compensates offset, offset temperature coefficient, full-span output (FSO), FSO temperature coefficient (FSOTC), and FSO nonlinearity of silicon piezoresistive sensors. The MAX1458 calibrates and compensates first-order temperature errors by adjusting the offset and span of the input signal via digital-to-analog converters (DACs), thereby eliminating quantization noise. Built-in testability features on the MAX1458 result in the integration of three traditional sensor-manufacturing operations into one automated process: ●● Pretest: Data acquisition of sensor performance under the control of a host test computer. ●● Calibration and compensation: Computation and storage (in an internal EEPROM) of calibration and compensation coefficients computed by the test computer and downloaded to the MAX1458. ●● Final test operation: Verification of transducer calibration and compensation without removal from the pretest socket. Although optimized for use with piezoresistive sensors, the MAX1458 may also be used with other resistive sensors (i.e., accelerometers and strain gauges) with some additional external components. Customization Maxim can customize the MAX1458 for unique requirements. With a dedicated cell library consisting of more than 90 sensor-specific functional blocks, Maxim can quickly provide customized MAX1458 solutions. Please contact Maxim for further information.

Detailed Description The MAX1458 provides an analog amplification path for the sensor signal. Calibration and temperature compensation are achieved by varying the offset and gain of a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) and by varying the sensor bridge current. The PGA uses a switchedcapac itor CMOS technology, with an input-referred coarse offset trimming range of approximately ±63mV (9mV steps). An additional output-referred fine offset trim is provided by the Offset DAC (approximately 2.8mV steps). The PGA provides eight gain values from +41V/V to +230V/V. The bridge current source is programmable from 0.1mA to 2mA. The MAX1458 uses four 12-bit DACs and one 3-bit DAC, with calibration coefficients stored by the user in an inter- www.maximintegrated.com nal 128-bit EEPROM. This memory contains the following information as 12-bit-wide words: ●● Configuration register ●● Offset calibration coefficient ●● Offset temperature error compensation coefficient ●● FSO (full-span output) calibration coefficient ●● FSO temperature error compensation coefficient ●● 24 user-defined bits for customer programming of manufacturing data (e.g., serial number and date) Figure 1 shows a typical pressure-sensor output and defines the offset, full-scale, and full-span output values as a function of voltage. Maxim Integrated │ 4 MAX1458 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner FSOTC Compensation Silicon piezoresistive transducers (PRTs) exhibit a large positive input resistance tempco (TCR) so that, while under constant current excitation, the bridge voltage (VBDRIVE) increases with temperature. This dependence of VBDRIVE on the sensor temperature can be used to compensate the sensor temperature errors. PRTs also have a large negative full-span output sensitivity tempco (TCS) so that, with constant voltage excitation, full-span output (FSO) will decrease with temperature, causing a full-span output temperature coefficient (FSOTC) error. However, if the bridge voltage can be made to increase with temperature at the same rate that TCS decreases with temperature, the FSO will remain constant. FSOTC compensation is accomplished by resistor RFTC and the FSOTC DAC, which modulate the excitation reference current at ISRC as a function of temperature (Figure 3). FSO DAC sets VISRC and remains constant with temperature while the voltage at FSOTC varies with temperature. FSOTC is the buffered output of the FSOTC DAC. The reference DAC voltage is VBDRIVE, which is temperature dependent. The FSOTC DAC alters the tempco of the current source. When the tempco of the bridge voltage is equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity to the TCS, the FSOTC errors are compensated and FSO will be constant with temperature. OFFSET TC Compensation Compensating offset TC errors involves first measuring the uncompensated offset TC error, then determining the percentage of the temperature-dependent voltage VBDRIVE that must be added to the output summing junction to correct the error. Use the Offset TC DAC to adjust the amount of BDRIVE voltage that is added to the output summing junction (Figure 2). Analog Signal Path The fully differential analog signal path consists of four stages: ●● Front-end summing junction for coarse offset correction ●● 3-bit PGA with eight selectable gains ranging from 41 through 230 ●● Three-input-channel summing junction ●● Differential to single-ended output buffer (Figure 2) Coarse Offset Correction The sensor output is first fed into a differential summing junction (INM (negative input) and INP (positive input)) with a CMRR > 90dB, an input impedance of approximately 1MΩ, and a common-mode input voltage range from VSS to VDD. At this summing junction, a coarse offset-correction voltage is added, and the resultant voltage is fed into the PGA. The 3-bit (plus sign) inputreferred Offset DAC (IRO DAC) generates the coarse offset-correction voltage. The DAC voltage reference is 1.25% of VDD; thus, a VDD of 5V results in a front-end offset-correction voltage ranging from -63mV to +63mV, in 9mV steps (Table 1). To add an offset to the input signal, set the IRO sign bit high; to subtract an offset from the input signal, set the IRO sign bit low. The IRO DAC bits (C2, C1, C0, and IRO sign bit) are programmed in the configuration register (see Internal EEPROM section). 1.25% VDD 4.5 BDRIVE A2 A1 A0 VOLTAGE (V) FULL-SPAN OUTPUT (FSO) FULL-SCALE (FS) INP INM Σ Σ PGA P MAX PRESSURE Figure 1.

The output of the PGA is fed to the output summing junction. The three PGA gain bits A2, A1, and A0 are stored in the configuration register. Output Summing Junction The third stage in the analog signal path consists of a summing junction for the PGA output, offset correction, and the offset TC correction. Both the offset and the offset TC correction voltages are gained by a factor of 2.3 before being fed into the summing junction, increasing the offset and offset TC correction range. The offset sign bit and offset TC sign bit are stored in the configuration register. The offset sign bit determines if the offset correction voltage is added to (sign bit is high) or subtracted from (sign bit is low) the PGA output. Negative offset TC errors require a logic high for the offset TC sign bit. Alternately, positive offset TC errors dictate a logic low for the offset TC sign bit. The output of the summing junction is fed to the output buffer. www.maximintegrated.com PGA GAIN (V/V) OFFSET CORRECTION % of VDD (%) PGA VALUE Output Buffer OUT can drive 0.1μF of capacitance. If CS is brought low, OUT becomes high impedance (resulting in typical output impedance of 1MΩ). The output is current limited and can be shorted to either VDD or VSS indefinitely. The maximum output voltage can be limited using the LIMIT pin. Output limiting can be performed for sensor diagnostic purposes. Connect LIMIT to VDD to disable the voltage-limiting feature. Bridge Drive Fine FSO correction is accomplished by varying the sensor excitation current with the 12-bit FSO DAC (Figure 3). Sensor bridge excitation is performed by a programmable current source capable of delivering up to 2mA. The reference current at ISRC is established by resistor RISRC and by the voltage at node ISRC (controlled by the FSO DAC). The reference current flowing through this pin is multiplied by a current mirror (AA ≅ 14) and then made available at BDRIVE for sensor excitation. Modulation of this current with respect to temperature can be used to correct FSOTC errors, while modulation with respect to the output voltage (VOUT) can be used to correct FSO linearity errors. Digital-to-Analog Converters The four 12-bit, sigma-delta DACs typically settle in less than 100ms. The four DACs have a corresponding memory register in EEPROM for storage of correction coefficients. Use the FSO DAC for fine FSO adjustments. The FSO DAC takes its reference from VDD and controls VISRC which, in conjunction with RISRC, sets the baseline sensor excitation current. The Offset DAC also takes its reference from VDD and provides a 1.22mV resolution with a Maxim Integrated │ 6 MAX1458 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner VDD VDD FSO DAC I = IISRC AA ≈14IISRC = IBDRIVE ISRC BDRIVE FSOTC DAC FSOTC RFTC RISRC EXTERNAL SENSOR Figure 3. Bridge Excitation Circuit VDD of 5V. The output of the Offset DAC is fed into the output summing junction where it is gained by approximately 2.3, which increases the resulting output-referred offset correction resolution to 2.8mV. Both the Offset TC and FSOTC DACs take their reference from BDRIVE, a temperature-dependent voltage. A nominal VBDRIVE of 2.5V results in a step size of 0.6mV. The Offset TC DAC output is fed into the output summing junction where it is gained by approximately 2.3, thereby increasing the Offset TC correction range. The buffered FSOTC DAC output is available at FSOTC and is connected to ISRC via RFTC to correct FSOTC errors. Internal Resistors The MAX1458 contains three internal resistors (RISRC, RFTC, and RTEMP) optimized for common silicon PRTs. RISRC (in conjunction with the FSO DAC) programs the nominal sensor excitation current. RFTC (in conjunction with the FSOTC DAC) compensates the FSOTC errors. Both RISRC and RFTC have a nominal value of 75kΩ. If external resistors are used, RISRC and RFTC can be disabled by resetting the appropriate bit (address 07h reset to zero) in the configuration register (Table 3). RTEMP is a high-tempco resistor with a TC of +4600ppm/°C and a nominal resistance of 100kΩ at +25°C. This resistor can be used with certain sensor types that require an external temperature sensor. www.maximintegrated.com Table 3.

Maxim Integrated │ 8 MAX1458 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner Detailed Description of the Digital Lines Data Input/Output (DIO) The DIO line is an input/output pin used to issue commands to the MAX1458 (input mode) or read the EEPROM contents (output mode). Chip-Select (CS) and Write-Enable (WE) CS is used to enable OUT, control serial communication, and force an update of the configuration and DAC registers. In input mode (the default mode), data on DIO is latched on each rising edge of SCLK. Therefore, data on DIO must be stable at the rising edge of SCLK and should transition on the falling edge of SCLK. ●● A low on CS disables serial communication and places OUT in a high-impedance state. ●● A transition from low to high on CS forces an update of the configuration and DAC registers from the EEPROM when the “U” bit is zero. DIO will switch to output mode after receiving a “READ EEPROM” command, and will return the data bit addressed by the digital value in the “READ EEPROM” command. After a low-to-high transition or CS, DIO returns to input mode and is ready to accept more commands. ●● A transition from high to low on CS terminates programming mode. ●● A logic high on CS enables OUT and serial communication (see Communication Protocol section). Communication Protocol To initiate communication, the first six bits on DIO after CS transitions from low to high must be 1010U0 (defined as the INIT SEQUENCE). The MAX1458 will then begin accepting 16-bit control words (Figure 4). WE controls the refresh rate for the internal configuration and DAC registers from the EEPROM and enables the erase/write operations. If communication has been initiated (see Communication Protocol section), internal register refresh is disabled. If the INIT SEQUENCE is not detected, all subsequent data on DIO is ignored until CS again transitions from low to high and the correct INIT SEQUENCE is received. ●● A low on WE disables the erase/write operations and also disables register refreshing from the EEPROM. The “U” bit of the INIT SEQUENCE controls the updating of the DACs and configuration register from the internal EEPROM. If this bit is low (U = 0), all four internal DACs and the configuration register will be updated from the EEPROM on the next rising edge of CS (this is also the default on power-up). If the “U” bit is high, the DACs and configuration register will not be updated from the internal EEPROM; they will retain their current value on any subsequent CS rising edge. The MAX1458 continues to accept control words until CS is brought low. ●● A high on WE selects a refresh rate of approximately 400 times per second and enables EEPROM erase/ write operations. ●● It is recommended that WE be connected to VSS after the MAX1458 EEPROM has been programmed. SCLK (Serial Clock) SCLK must be driven externally and is used to input commands to the MAX1458 and read EEPROM contents. Input data on DIO is latched on the rising edge of SCLK. Noise on SCLK may disrupt communication. In noisy environments, place a capacitor (0.01μF) between SCLK and VSS.

Important: An internal charge pump develops voltages greater than 20V for EEPROM programming operations. The EEPROM control logic requires 50ms to erase the EEPROM. After sending a WRITE or ERASE command, failure to wait 50ms before issuing another command may result in data being accidentally written to the EEPROM.

After issuing the READ EEPROM command, DIO returns to input mode on the falling edge of CS. Reading the entire EEPROM requires the READ EEPROM command be issued 128 times. 1) Issue an ERASE EEPROM command. 2) Wait 50ms (tWRITE). 3) Issue on END EEPROM WRITE command at address 00h. 4) Wait 1ms (tWAIT). 5) Issue a BEGIN EEPROM WRITE command (Figure 7) at the address of the bit to be set. 6) Wait 50ms. 7) Issue an END EEPROM WRITE command (Figure 7) using the same address as in Step 5.

Note that all four DACs and the configuration register can be updated without toggling the CS line. Every register write command must be followed by a LOAD REGISTER command. Applications Information Power-Up At power up, the following occurs: 1) The DAC and configuration registers are reset to zero. 2)CS transitions from low to high after power-up (an internal pull-up resistor ensures that this happens if CS is left unconnected), and the EEPROM contents are read and processed. 3)The DAC and configuration registers are updated either once or approximately 400 times per second (as determined by the state of WE). 4) The MAX1458 begins accepting commands in a serial format on DIO immediately after receiving the INIT SEQUENCE. The MAX1458 is shipped with all memory locations in the internal EEPROM uninitialized. Therefore, the MAX1458 must be programmed for proper operation. Compensation Procedure The following compensation procedure was used to obtain the results shown in Figure 9 and Table 8. It assumes a pressure transducer with a +5V supply and an output voltage that is ratiometric to the supply voltage. The desired offset voltage (VOUT at PMIN) is 0.5V, and the desired FSO voltage (VOUT(PMAX) - VOUT(PMIN)) is 4V; thus the full-scale output voltage (VOUT at PMAX) will be 4.5V (refer to Figure 1). The procedure requires a minimum of two test pressures (e.g., zero and full scale) at two arbitrary test temperatures, T1 and T2. Ideally, T1 and T2 are the two points where we wish to perform best linear fit compensation. The following outlines a typical compensation procedure: 1) Perform Coefficient Initialization 2) Perform FSO Calibration 3) Perform FSOTC Compensation 4) Perform Offset TC Compensation 5) Perform Offset Calibration www.maximintegrated.com 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner Coefficient Initialization Select the resistor values and the PGA gain to prevent overload of the PGA and bridge current source. These values depend on sensor behavior and require some sensor characterization data, which may be available from the sensor manufacturer. If not, the data can be generated by performing a two-temperature, two-pressure sensor evaluation. The required sensor information is shown in Table 6 and can be used to obtain the values for the parameters listed in Table 7. Table 6.

Since the 12-bit FSO DAC provides considerable dynamic range, the RISRC value need not be exact. Generally any resistor value within ±50% of the calculated value is acceptable. If both the internal resistors RISRC and RFTC are used, set the IRS bit at EEPROM address bit 7 high. Otherwise, set IRS low and connect external resistors as shown in Figure 10. RISRC ≈14 x Rb(T1) ≈14 x 5kΩ = 70kΩ where Rb(T) is the sensor input impedance at temperature T1 (+25°C in this example).

Generally, any resistor value within ±50% of the calculated value is acceptable. where S is the sensor sensitivity at T1, VBDRIVE is the sensor excitation voltage (initially 2.5V), and ΔP is the maximum pressure differential. Then calculate the ideal gain using the following formula, and select the nearest gain setting from Table 2: A PGA = OUTFSO SensorFSO 4V = = 106 V/V 0.0375V where OUTFSO is the desired calibrated transducer fullspan output voltage, and SensorFSO is the sensor fullspan output voltage at T1. In this example, a PGA value of 2 (gain of +95V/V) is the best selection. Determining Input-Referred OFFSET (IRO) The input-referred offset register is used to null any frontend sensor offset errors prior to amplification by the PGA. This reduces the possibility of saturating the PGA and maximizes the useful dynamic range of the PGA (particularly at the higher gain values.) First, calculate the ideal IRO correction voltage using the following formula, and select the nearest setting from Table 1: IROideal =- [O(T1) x VBDRIVE(T1)] =- (0.012V/V) x 2.5V =- 30mV where IROideal is the exact voltage required to perfectly null the sensor, O(T1) is the sensor offset voltage in V/V R ISRC x 500ppm/ °C at +25°C, and VBDRIVE(T1) is the nominal sensor excitaR FTC ≅ tion voltage at +25°C. In this example, 30mV must be TCR − TCS subtracted from the amplifier front end to null the sensor 70kΩ x 500ppm/ ° C perfectly. From Table 1, select an IRO value of 3 to set the 70kΩ ≅ = IRO DAC to 27mV, which is nearest the ideal value. To 2600 ppm/ ° C − − 2100 ppm/ ° C subtract this value, set the IRO sign bit to 0. The residual output-referred offset error will be corrected later with the This approximation works best for bulk, micromachined, Offset DAC. silicon PRTs. Negative values for RFTC indicate unconventional sensor behavior that cannot be compensated by Determining OFFTC COEF Initial Value the MAX1458 without additional external circuitry. Generally, OFFTC COEF can initially be set to 0, since Selecting the PGA Gain Setting the offset TC error will be compensated in a later step. However, sensors with large offset TC errors may require To select the PGA gain setting, first calculate SensorFSO, an initial coarse offset TC adjustment to prevent the PGA the sensor full-span output voltage at T1: from saturating during the compensation procedure as SensorFSO =S x Rb(T1) x ΔP temperature is increased. An initial coarse offset TC =1.5mV/V per PSI x 2.5V x 10 PSI adjustment is required for sensors with an offset TC =0.0375V www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated │ 13 MAX1458 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner greater than about 10% of the FSO. If an initial coarse offset TC adjustment is required, use the following equation: OFFTC COEF = = Three-Step FSOTC Compensation Step 1 Use the following procedure to determine FSOTC COEF. Four variables, A–D, will be used. 4096 x ∆ VOUT (T) ∆ VBDRIVE (T) x 2.3 1) Name the existing FSO DAC coefficient “A”. 4096 x (OTC x FSO) x ∆T 2) Change FSOTC DAC to 3000. TCS x VBDRIVE x 2.3 x ∆T 4096 x (-1000ppm/°C x 4V) = = 1357 −2100ppm/ °C x 2.5V x 2.3 where OTC is the sensor offset TC error as a ppm/°C of OUTFSO (Table 6), ΔT is the operating temperature range in °C, and OFFTC COEF is the numerical decimal value to be loaded into the DAC. For positive values, set the OFFTC sign bit high; for negative values, set the OFFTC sign bit low. If the absolute value of the OFFTC COEF is larger than 4096, the sensor has a very large offset TC error, which the MAX1458 is unable to completely correct. FSO Calibration Perform FSO calibration at room temperature with a fullscale sensor excitation. 1) Set FSOTC COEF to 1000. 2) At T1, adjust FSO DAC until VBDRIVE is about 2.5V. 3)Adjust FSO DAC until VBDRIVE (T1) is equal to VBIDEAL(T1). 4) Name the existing FSO DAC coefficient “B”. 5)Readjust the offset voltage (by adjusting the Offset DAC), if required, to 0.5V. At this point, it is important that no other changes be made to the Offset or Offset TC DACs until the Offset TC Compensation step has been completed. Step 2 To complete linear FSOTC compensation, take data measurements at a second temperature, T2 (T2 > T1). Perform the following steps: 1) Measure the full-span output (measuredVFSO(T2). 2) Calculate VBIDEAL(T2) using the following equation: VBIDEAL (T2) = VBDRIVE x desiredVFSO x measuredVFSO (T2) 1 + measuredVFSO (T2) 3) Adjust Offset DAC (and OFFSET sign bit, if needed) until the T1 offset voltage is 0.5V (see OFFSET Calibration section). 4) Measure the full-span output (measuredVFSO). 3) Set VBIDEAL(T2) by adjusting the FSO DAC. 5) Calculate the ideal bridge voltage, VBIDEAL(T1), using the following equation: 5) Change FSOTC DAC to 1000. Note: If VBIDEAL(T1) is outside the allowable bridge voltage swing of (VSS + 1.3V) to (VDD - 1.3V), readjust the PGA gain setting. If VBIDEAL(T1) is too low, decrease the PGA gain setting by one step and return to Step 2. If VBIDEAL(T1) is too high, increase the PGA gain setting by one step and return to Step 2. 6) Set VBIDEAL(T1) by adjusting the FSO DAC. 7)Readjust Offset DAC until the offset voltage is 0.5V (see OFFSET Calibration section). www.maximintegrated.com 4) Name the current FSO DAC coefficient “D”. 6) Adjust FSO DAC until VBDRIVE is equal to VBIDEAL(T2). VBIDEAL (T1) = VBDRIVE x desiredVFSO x measuredVFSO (T1) 1 + measuredVFSO (T1) 7) Name the FSO DAC coefficient “C”. Step 3 Insert the data previously obtained from Steps 1 and 2 into the following equation to compute FSOTC COEF: FSOTC COEF 1000(B - D) + 3000(C - A) (B - D) + (C - A) 1) Load this FSOTC COEF value into the FSOTC DAC. 2)Adjust the FSO DAC until VBDRIVE(T2) is equal to VBIDEAL(T2). This completes both FSO calibration and FSO TC compensation. Maxim Integrated │ 14 MAX1458 1%-Accurate, Digitally Trimmed Sensor Signal Conditioner Offset TC Compensation The offset voltage at T1 was previously set to 0.5V; therefore, any variation from this voltage at T2 is an offset TC error. Perform the following steps: 1) Measure the offset voltage at T2. 2) Use the following equation to compute the correction required: NewOFFTC COEF = CurrentOFFTC COEF + 4096 VOFFSET (T1) - VOFFSET (T2) 2.3 [V BDRIVE (T1) - VBDRIVE (T2)] Note: CurrentOFFTC COEF is the current value stored in the Offset TC DAC. If the Offset TC sign bit (SOTC) is low, this number is negative. 3) Load this value into the Offset TC DAC. OFFSET Calibration At this point the sensor should still be at temperature T2. The final offset adjustment can be made at T2 or T1 by adjusting the Offset DAC (and optionally the offset sign bit, SOFF) until the output (VOUT(PMIN)) reads 0.5V at zero input pressure. Use the following procedure: 1) Set Offset DAC to zero (Offset COEF = 0). 2) Measure the voltage at OUT. 3) If VOUT is greater than the desired offset voltage (0.5V in this example), set SOFF low; otherwise set it high. 4) Increase Offset COEF until VOUT equals the desired offset voltage. Offset calibration is now complete. Table 8 and Figure 9 compare an uncompensated input to a typical compensated transducer output. 4) If NewOFFTC COEF is negative, set the SOTC bit low; otherwise, set it high. Offset TC Compensation is now complete. Table 8.
