The supply voltage VDD directly supplies the pressure sensor. The pressure sensing element consists of a square diaphragm realized in the silicon chip by backside etching. Due to its small thickness this diaphragm reacts to a pressure difference at both of its side by cambering. The internal strain increases, in particular at the border of the diaphragm. Here, the piezoresistive elements have been implanted into the silicon diaphragm, which act as transducer. The piezo-resistive elements react to pressure induced changes of strain by changes in their resistance. Four resistors are placed at all four borders of the square diaphragm. They are arranged in a Wheatstone-bridge. A chopped instrumentation stage amplifies the differential output signal of the sensor. The gain of this amplifier can be adjusted with 3 bits. After the input stage, there is a 3 bit programmable coarse offset which is followed by a differential to single-ended conversion. The reference voltage for this stage is generated by a 10 bit DAC and varies linearly with temperature in order to perform the offset and offset drift compensation. A digital hardware multiplier calculates this compensation. The temperature signal, serving as input for this multiplier, is generated from the ADC of the output signal of the internal temperature sensor. The chopped signal is demodulated with a switched capacitor stage. The buffered output serves as reference for a 10 bit DAC to perform the span and span drift compensation. The DAC is controlled by the digital part. Finally the signal is given out by a class AB rail-to-rail amplifier capable of sourcing and sinking large currents. A 3-point temperature and 2-point pressure calibration is required (room temperature, a low temperature and a high temperature), to achieve an error less than ±1% over the complete pressure and temperature range (the output error is referred to the output span). PTC (Programming Through Connector) protocol is used to perform calibration. The programming of the sensor chip is carried out via the analog connections (i.e. supply, ground, signal out). No additional pins are necessary for calibration. The output circuit is protected against short circuit to GND, Vbat (16V) and Vdd. 3901090808 Rev 001 Page 4 of 8 Data Sheet Feb 08 MLX90808 Absolute Integrated Pressure Sensor 7 Unique Features Diagnostic Limits Diagnostic of broken sensor: The output will be forced to ground (or a very low level) when the sensor membrane breaks. Diagnostic of broken wires: The output will be forced to ground (or a very low level) when the supply wire breaks, even when a pull-up is still connected to the output pin. The output will be forced to the supply voltage (or a very high level) when the ground wire breaks, even when a pull-down is still connected to the output pin. Output Protection The output is protected against short-circuits at either battery terminals. The output can handle voltages between -0.5V and 16V (independent of supply voltage). Memlock Function The memory consists of ZAP cells. When all calibration parameters are programmed, the chip can be locked. This to avoid unwanted that data be written into the memory cells. Once the chip is locked in a normal application, we can not read the zap contents and it is not possible to unlock afterwards, unless the MOW pin is used. This can be done by apply a supply between 2.5V and 3.5V on the MOW pin, then we can read back the content of the memory cells and zap another cell if necessary. Clamping Levels The user can enable the clamping of the output to ensure that the output can not enter the fault band in normal application. 8 Application Information 47nF 47nF Very few off-chip components are needed (only 2 decoupling capacitors, not higher than 100 nF). Only 3 pins are used (Vdd, Vss, Out), see pad layout drawing in paragraph 9. Calibration and Programming is made through the OUT pin. 3901090808 Rev 001 Page 5 of 8 Data Sheet Feb 08 MLX90808 Absolute Integrated Pressure Sensor 9 Programming and Calibration 9.1 Programming of the Temporary Memory of 90808 The temporary memory consists of a shift register of flip flops. It is used to search for the correct calibration settings. Mode 1 (TC[5:0]=01h) is used for this purpose. Afterwards these settings can be put in the permanent memory. The programming is done through the connector: you only need the application pins (supply, ground and output). You can enable the programming by forcing the supply high enough (VCC_T). You can input the data through the OUT pin. The data is Pulse Width modulated. At the end of the programming, we keep OUT high until VCC has reached his normal level (VCC_N). Thereafter we disconnect OUT. It is not necessary to do a power-down before the next settings are programmed. Timings 3901090808 Rev 001 Page 6 of 8 Data Sheet Feb 08 MLX90808 Absolute Integrated Pressure Sensor 9.2 Zapping of the 90808 The permanent memory of the 90808 is built with zap cells. The data output of an unprogrammed zap cell is 0. The data output is 1 when the cell is zapped. It is not possible to reprogram a zap cell to 0. Only 1 bit can be zapped at a time. You should use the normal mode (TC[5:0]=00h) and program 1 bit to '1' in the temporary memory. Afterwards you need to increase the supply voltage (VCC_Z) to be able to zap the bit. The zapping starts when OUT goes high (OUT_Z). There will flow a high current of approximately 200mA during the zapping. The memlock-bit should be zapped as last bit, because it disables the programming. The zap cells can also be read out by using mode 5 (TC[5:0]=05h). One bit should be set to 1 in the temporary memory. The supply current should be measured at the normal supply voltage. A low current (ICC_R0) indicates that the zap cell is not programmed. A high current (ICC_R1) indicates that the zap cell is programmed. 3901090808 Rev 001 Page 7 of 8 Data Sheet Feb 08 MLX90808 Absolute Integrated Pressure Sensor 10 Disclaimer Devices sold by Melexis are covered by the warranty and patent indemnification provisions appearing in its Term of Sale.
