Detailed Description 5.1 The Working Principle The MLX90609 is a Z-axis rate-sensing device, also called yaw-rate sensing. It produces an analog positive going output voltage for clockwise (CW) rotation around the axis normal to the package top, i.e., clockwise when looking down at the package lid as well as a digital SPI signal proportional to the angular rate. Figure 5-1. Angular rate (positive for clockwise rotation) to voltage output The sensor is a MEMS gyroscope sensitive to Coriolis forces. To create a Coriolis force a movement must be induced. The gyro has an actuated oscillating mechanical structure (primary mode). The Coriolis force creates a second oscillating movement when the gyroscope rotates (secondary mode). As Coriolis force is usually extremely weak the primary mode is driven into resonance to keep the mechanical noise level low for the signal bandwidth used and to have a good sensitivity. A capacitance change in the secondary mode is detected and transformed into an output voltage by the electronic interface circuitry. The electronic interface must convert a change in the sensor capacitance ∆C into a change in transducer output voltage VOUTAR according to the following transfer equation: VOUTAR = Bias + Sensitivity × AngularRate The bias and sensitivity are adjustable over temperature in order to compensate for the TC of sensor and readout. After adjusting the bias and sensitivity values and after setting operating mode switches during the calibration process the transducer output voltage versus angular rate must stay as shown in Figure 5-1 over the specified temperature range. The above transfer equation can be used for the digital output as well. 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 8 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) 5.2 Communication with the MLX90609 through the SPI The MLX90609 has a serial communication interface compatible with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). Likewise SPI the Serial Interface of the MLX90609 specifies four signals: serial clock (SCLK); master data output, slave data input (MOSI); master data input, slave data output (MISO); and slave select ( SS ). The MLX90609 always operates as a slave. Therefore MISO pin is an output only. The MLX90609 is selected when the SS pin is low (see Figure 5-2Figure 5-2). When SS pin is high, data will not be accepted via the MOSI pin. The serial output pin (MISO) will remain in a high impedance state. High level of SS forces the serial interface into the start state of data exchange. Data is serially transmitted to the MLX90609 in 8 bit words (an instruction byte) and in 16 bit data words. Data is serially received from the MLX90609 in 16 bit words (an answer word). Most Significant Bit (MSB) is the first bit transmitted and received. Transmission: After the device is selected with SS going low, the instruction byte will be received by the MLX90609. On each rising edge of SCLK data from MOSI enter into an internal 8-bit shift register. The accepted instruction byte contains the op-code that defines the operations to be performed. Along with op-code this byte can also contain information such as EEPROM address or ADC mode (to be setup). Reception: After the 8th bit is received to the shift register, the command will be executed by the MLX90609. The format of the outgoing data is defined by the received instruction. Any instruction evokes an answer. A full communication cycle (transmitting an instruction and receiving the full answer) is finished after 24th clock of the SCLK. Communication can be terminated by putting SS high. Some remarks: If an invalid op-code is received, it is rejected and the corresponding data is ignored. In this case a special “refusal answer” will be generated. It's recommended to use synchronization by SS after every data exchange to prevent a data distortion. If high level is applied to SS during an instruction byte transmission, the command will be ignored. If high level is applied to SS during the answer reception, the answer will be truncated. This can be used to limit the reading of the answer to e.g. one byte only (see Figure 5-3). 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 9 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) Figure 5-2.

The MLX90609 includes an internal 11-bit successive-approximation-register ADC with a sampleand-hold circuit and a programmable 2-channel analog multiplexer. The multiplexer connects the OUTAR pin or the OUTTEMP pin to the sample-and-hold circuit. After a power-up the ADC is in a sleep mode. Before using of the sleeping ADC it's recommended to use an initial dummy conversion. The result of this dummy conversion should be skipped but the next conversions will be valid. After conversions the ADC can be put in the sleep mode again. A conversion must be initiated by means of the SPI command ADCC. This command turns the ADC on, sets a necessary channel and starts a conversion. To read a status of the conversion the ADCR or STATR commands can be used. As soon as the conversion is completed, its result should be read in the answer of the command ADCR (see tables 8, 9 and 10). There are two conversion formulas below. The formulas reflect the typical ADC behavior and can be used to evaluate the voltage on the OUTAR and OUTTEMP pins: 25 ADCcode + 400 12 25 VOUTTEMP (mV ) = ADCcode + 300 16 VOUTAR ( mV ) = The ADCcode represents the 11-bit result of the conversion (see Table 10). Table 6 gives a description of the bits that are mentioned in this section. ADEN The ADEN bit selects the power management mode of the ADC: ADEN=0: ADC is switched to the sleep mode, no AD-conversion is allowed. ADEN=1: AD-conversion is allowed. This bit is set by the ADCC-command. After power-up bit ADEN is cleared. BUSY This bit will be set after a reset and will be toggled to zero after all initialization procedures inside the MLX90609. While BUSY=1, only refusal answers will be sent. CHAN The CHAN bit is used to select the input source for the ADC. CHAN=0: the angular rate channel. CHAN=1: the temperature sensor channel. This bit is set by the ADCC-command. After power-up bit CHAN is cleared. EOC End of AD-conversion bit. EOC bit indicates an ADC state. EOC=0 : ADC in progress and can not be restarted. EOC=1 : AD-conversion has been completed and can be restarted. As a result, any attempt of the ADC starting will be rejected if EOC has a “0” state. OPC Unknown Operation Code. This bit is set when a received operation code was not recognized. X These bits are reserved or have an undefined state. Table 6. SPI bits 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 12 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) 5.3.1 ADC Instructions and Answers There are three SPI commands that are used to control embedded ADC of the MLX90609: STATR, ADCC and ADCR. • The Refusal Answer Every instruction sent to the MLX90609 has an answer. If the MLX90609 is not able to accept the instruction a refusal answer will be transmitted out. This answer has a unique format which is shown in the Table 7. The refusal answer is the only one that has a set MSB. The other bits help to understand a possible reason for the instruction rejection.

Format of the ADCR command 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 13 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) 5.3.2 Reading the Digital Angular Rate or Temperature (suggested procedure) There is a recommended sequence below to obtain digital data from the ADC. Notes: - The bit with leftmost position should be shifted first. - Below “x” means any value: “0” or “1”. • Step 1 (put ADC to the active mode if it wasn’t) Use SPI to send ADCC instruction (MOSI): 1 0 0 1 x 1 0 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x And check 15th bit of the answer (MISO): 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x If 15th bit is zero, the instruction is accepted. Before to go to the Step 2 provide a delay > 115 µs or wait till the EOC bit is set. • Step 2 (conversion start) Use SPI to send ADCC instruction(MOSI):1 0 0 1 CHAN 1 0 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x And check 15th bit of the answer (MISO): 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x th If 15 bit is zero, the instruction is accepted. CHAN bit specifies the input source of the ADC. CHAN=0: The angular rate signal. CHAN=1: The temperature sensor signal. Go to the Step 3. • Step 3 (polling and result obtaining) Use SPI to send ADCR instruction and check 15th and 13th bits of the answer: 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x 0 x EOC x AD10 AD9 AD8 AD7 AD6 AD5 AD4 AD3 AD2 AD1 AD0 0 If 15th bit is zero, the instruction is accepted. If 13th bit (EOC) is zero, the conversion is still in progress and the result of the conversion (bits AD10…AD0) is not valid. As soon as the EOC bit is set the conversion is completed and the result is valid. Instead of the polling of the EOC bit one can use a simple delay that should be bigger than a maximal conversion time (>115 µs, see table 4). Go to the Step 2 to do the next conversion or to the Step 4 to put ADC to the sleep mode. • Step 4 (put ADC to the sleep mode if it’s necessary) Use SPI to send ADCC instruction (MOSI): 1 0 0 1 x 0 0 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x And check 15th bit of the answer (MISO): 0 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x If 15th bit is zero, the instruction is accepted. 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 14 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) 6. Applications Examples Figure 6-1. MLX90609 with simultaneous analog and digital output The MLX90609 can simultaneously output analog and digital signals. The analog output signal can be fed to a microcontroller (µC) that contains an analog-to-digital converter. A multiplexer can be used to select between the temperature and the angular rate signals. The MLX90609 generates an internal reference voltage used for supplying the ADC, thereby maintaining accuracy regardless of the supply voltage of the µC. Whilst supplying the analog output signal, the MLX90609 can simultaneously send a digital output signal to the µC through the SPI. Notes: 1. The bandwidth of the MLX90609 can be selected by connecting an appropriate capacitor in the FLT pin. CFLT implements a first order low pass filter cascaded with an internal 4-th order SC filter. The –3dB bandwidth set by CFLT is: fOUT =0.16 / (ROUT*CFLT), with ROUT = 200kΩ (typ). It is recommended to use CFLT even if the cut-off frequency is not specified to reduce switching spikes at the output. 2. It is recommended to use X5R or X7R type capacitors. Min. voltage for C3 should be 25V or more, and 10V or more for the other capacitors. Recommended values of decoupling capacitors C1 and C2 are 1.0µF and 0.1µF for C3. These capacitors should be placed as close as possible to their respective pins. 3. HVIN is a high impedance node. Be sure that an equivalent leakage resistance at this node isn’t less then 2MΩ 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 15 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) Figure 6-2. MLX90609 with analog output only If only an analog output signal is required, the MLX90609 doesn’t need to communicate through the SPI pins. All other pins continue to be used as described above. Figure 6-3. MLX90609 with digital output only If only a digital output signal is required the MLX90609 uses the SPI to send the temperature and the angular rate in a digital format. The operation mode only through the SPI allows a reduction of cost and complexity in the interfacing to system microcontroller or microprocessor. All the pins in the above schematics continue to be used as described above. 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 16 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) In order to adapt the MLX90609 for a 3.3V Microcontroller one can use the below schematic: Figure 6-4.

Angular rate sensors are sometimes referred to as gyro or gyroscope. Bandwidth The input signal frequency range from DC (zero frequency) up to the frequency where a -3dB amplitude decay (between mechanical input and rate output) is observed. In the case of the present device, the bandwidth is user selectable by means of an external capacitor. Coriolis Effect Coriolis Effect is an inertial force described by the 19th-century engineer-mathematician GustaveGaspard Coriolis in 1835. Coriolis showed that, if the ordinary Newtonian laws of motion of bodies are to be used in a rotating frame of reference, an inertial force, acting to the right of the direction of body motion for counterclockwise rotation of the reference frame or to the left for clockwise rotation, must be included in the motion equations. In effect, the Coriolis force is an apparent deflection of the path of an object that moves within a rotating coordinate system. The object does not actually deviate from its path, but it appears to do so because of the motion of the coordinate system. 390109060901 Rev 009 Page 20 of 22 Data Sheet October/08 MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor (Standard version) Primary and Secondary Frame In vector notation the Coriolis force FCoriolis is given by: FCoriolis = 2m (v × Ω ) Where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity and Ω is the angular rate of the rotating coordinate system. To create a Coriolis Force (FCoriolis), a movement or velocity (v) must be induced. The gyroscope system has got an electrically actuated oscillating mechanical structure, called primary frame (m). When the gyroscope rotates (Ω) a Coriolis force FCoriolis acts on this frame. To measure the Coriolis force, a part of the frame - called the secondary frame - is designed to allow a motion as a reaction to the applied Coriolis force. This synchronous motion is sensed electrically by a capacitive readout circuit. The gyroscope is a vibratory system with two orthogonal vibrating frames: the primary actuated vibrating frame and the secondary sensed vibrating frame. Zero Rate Output (ZRO) Drift The bounds within which the circuit output signal may vary as the temperature varies across the operating temperature range with no applied angular rate.
