Conveniently, an inductor, along with a capacitor, can be used to construct an L-C resonator, also known as an L-C tank, which can be used to produce an EM field. In the case of an L-C tank, the effect of the field disturbance is an apparent shift in the inductance of the sensor, which can be observed as a shift in the resonant frequency. Using this principle, the LDC1312/1314 is an inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) that measures the oscillation frequency of an LC resonator. The device outputs a digital value that is proportional to frequency. This frequency measurement can be converted to an equivalent inductance. 8.2 Functional Block Diagram 40 MHz 40 MHz CLKIN VDD SD INTB fREF IN0A IN0B Resonant Circuit Driver IN1B Resonant Circuit Driver VDD IN0A Resonant Circuit Driver Core I2C fIN SDA SCL SD INTB fREF IN0B fIN IN1A CLKIN IN3A IN3B Resonant Circuit Driver Core I2C SDA SCL ADDR ADDR GND GND Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Figure 10. Block Diagrams for the LDC1312 (Left) and LDC1314 (Right) The LDC1312/LDC1314 is composed of front-end resonant circuit drivers, followed by a multiplexer that sequences through the active channels, connecting them to the core that measures and digitizes the sensor frequency (fSENSOR). The core uses a reference frequency (fREF) to measure the sensor frequency. fREF is derived from either an internal reference clock (oscillator), or an externally supplied clock. The digitized output for each channel is proportional to the ratio of fSENSOR/fREF. The I2C interface is used to support device configuration and to transmit the digitized frequency values to a host processor. The LDC can be placed in shutdown mode, saving current, using the SD pin. The INTB pin may be configured to notify the host of changes in system status. 8.3 Feature Description 8.3.1 Clocking Architecture Figure 11 shows the clock dividers and multiplexers of the LDC. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 www.ti.com SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 Feature Description (continued) IN0A Sensor 0 ÷m fSENSOR0 fIN0 IN0B CH0_FIN_DIVIDER (0x14) IN1A Sensor 1 ÷m fSENSOR1 fIN1 IN1B tfINt CH1_FIN_DIVIDER (0x15) IN2A(1) Sensor 2(1) ÷m fSENSOR2(1) IN2B(1) fIN2(1) CH2_FIN_DIVIDER (0x16)(1) IN3A(1) Sensor 3(1) fSENSOR3(1) ÷m IN3B(1) CONFIG (0x1A) MUX_CONFIG (0x1B) CH3_FIN_DIVIDER (0x17)(1) ÷n CLKIN fIN3(1) Core Data Output fREF0 CH0_FREF_DIVIDER (0x14) REF_CLK_SRC (0x1A) ÷n fREF1 tfCLKINt tfCLKt tfREFt CH1_FREF_DIVIDER (0x15) tfINTt ÷n fREF2(1) Int.

Clocking Diagram (1) LDC1314 only In Figure 11, the key clocks are fIN, fREF, and fCLK. fCLK is selected from either the internal clock source or external clock source (CLKIN). The frequency measurement reference clock, fREF, is derived from the fCLK source. TI recommends that precision applications use an external master clock that offers the stability and accuracy requirements needed for the application. The internal oscillator may be used in applications that require low cost and do not require high precision. The fINx clock is derived from sensor frequency for a channel x, fSENSORx. fREFx and fINx must meet the requirements listed in Table 1, depending on whether fCLK (master clock) is the internal or external clock.

For example, temperature drift can often cause a shift in component values, resulting in a shift in resonant frequency of the sensor. Using a 2nd sensor as a reference provides the capability to cancel out a temperature shift. When operated in multi-channel mode, the LDC sequentially samples the active channels. In single channel mode, the LDC samples a single channel, which is selectable. Table 3 shows the registers and values that are used to configure either multi-channel or single channel modes. Table 3.

When the LDC sequences through the channels in multi-channel mode, the dwell time interval for each channel is the sum of 3 parts: sensor activation time + conversion time + channel switch delay. The sensor activation time is the amount of settling time required for the sensor oscillation to stabilize, as shown in Figure 12. The settling wait time is programmable and should be set to a value that is long enough to allow stable oscillation. The settling wait time for channel x is given by: tSx = (CHX_SETTLECOUNTˣ16)/fREFx (3) Table 5 shows the registers and values for configuring the settling time for each channel.

The SETTLECOUNT for any channel x must satisfy: CHx_SETTLECOUNT ≥ QSENSORx × fREFx / (16 × fSENSORx) where • • • Q fSENSORx = Frequency of the Sensor on Channel x fREFx = Reference frequency for Channel x QSENSORx = Quality factor of the sensor on Channel x, where Q can be calculated by: RP C L (4) (5) Round the result to the next highest integer (for example, if Equation 4 recommends a minimum value of 6.08, program the register to 7 or higher). L, RP and C values can be obtained by using Texas Instrument’s WEBENCH® for the coil design. The conversion time represents the number of reference clock cycles used to measure the sensor frequency. It is set by the CHx_RCOUNT register for the channel. The conversion time for any channel x is: tCx = (CHx_RCOUNT ˣ 16 + 4) /fREFx (6) The reference count value must be chosen to support the required number of effective bits (ENOB). For details, refer to the application note Optimizing L Measurement Resolution for the LDC161x and LDC1101. Table 6.

The typical channel switch delay time between the end of conversion and the beginning of sensor activation of the subsequent channel is: Channel Switch Delay = 692 ns + 5 / fref (7) The deterministic conversion time of the LDC allows data polling at a fixed interval. A data ready flag (DRDY) is also available for interrupt driven system designs (see the STATUS register description in Register Maps). An offset value may be subtracted from each DATA value to compensate for a frequency offset or maximize the dynamic range of the sample data. The offset values should be < fSENSORx_MIN / fREFx. Otherwise, the offset might be so large that it masks the LSBs which are changing. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 www.ti.com SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 Table 7.

For systems in which the sensor signal variation is less than 25% of the full scale range, the LDC can report conversion results with higher resolution by setting the output gain. The output gain is applied to all device channels. An output gain can be used to apply a 2-bit, 3-bit, or 4-bit shift to the output code for all channels, allowing access to the 4LSBs of the original 16-bit result. The MSBs of the sample are shifted out when a gain is applied. Do not use the output gain if the MSBs of any active channel are toggling, as the MSBs for that channel will be lost when gain is applied. Table 8.

The recommendations listed in the last column of Table 9 should be followed. Auto-calibration mode is used to determine the optimal sensor drive current for a fixed sensor design. This mode should only be used during system prototyping. The auto-amplitude correction attempts to maintain the sensor oscillation amplitude between 1.2V and 1.8V by adjusting the sensor drive current between conversions. When auto-amplitude correction is enabled, the output data may show non-monotonic behavior due to an adjustment in drive current. Auto-amplitude correction is only recommended for low-precision applications. A high sensor current drive mode can be enabled to drive sensor coils with > 1.5mA on channel 0, only in single channel mode. This feature can be used when the sensor RP is lower than 1kΩ. Set the HIGH_CURRENT_DRV register bit to b1 to enable this mode. Table 9.

Set target at the maximum planned operating distance from the sensor. 2. Place the device into SLEEP mode by setting CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN to b0. 3. Program the desired values of SETTLECOUNT and RCOUNT values for the channel. 4. Enable auto-calibration by setting RP_OVERDRIVE_EN to b0. 5. Take the device out of SLEEP mode by setting CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN to b1. 6. Allow the device to perform at least one measurement, with the target stable (fixed) at the maximum operating range. 7. Read the channel current drive value from the appropriate DRIVE_CURRENT_CHx register (addresses 0x1e, 0x1f, 0x20, or 0x21), in the CHx_INIT_DRIVE field (bits 10:6). Save this value. 8. During startup for normal operating mode, write the value saved from the CHx_INIT_DRIVE bit field into the Chx_IDRIVE bit field (bits 15:11). 9. During normal operating mode, the RP_OVERRIDE_EN must set to b1 to force the fixed current drive. If the current drive results in the oscillation amplitude greater than 1.8V, the internal ESD clamping circuit will become active. This may cause the sensor frequency to shift so that the output values no longer represent a valid system state. If the current drive is set at a lower value, the SNR performance of the system will decrease, and at near zero target range, oscillations may completely stop, and the output sample values will be all zeroes. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 www.ti.com SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 8.3.4 Device Status Registers The registers listed in Table 11 may be used to read device status. Table 11. Status Registers CHANNEL (1) (1) REGISTER FIELDS [ BIT(S) ] VALUES All STATUS, addr 0x18 Refer to Register Maps section 12 fields are available that for a description of the individual contain various status bits [ 15:0 ] status bits. All ERROR_CONFIG, addr 0x19 12 fields are available that are Refer to Register Maps section used to configure error reporting [ for a description of the individual 15:0 ] error configuration bits. Channels 2 and 3 are available for LDC1314 only. See the STATUS and ERROR_CONFIG register description in the Register Map section. These registers can be configured to trigger an interrupt on the INTB pin for certain events. The following conditions must be met: 1. The error or status register must be unmasked by enabling the appropriate register bit in the ERROR_CONFIG register 2. The INTB function must be enabled by setting CONFIG.INTB_DIS to 0 When a bit field in the STATUS register is set, the entire STATUS register content is held until read or until the DATA_CHx register is read. Reading also de-asserts INTB. Interrupts are cleared by one of the following events: 1. Entering Sleep Mode 2. Power-on reset (POR) 3. Device enters Shutdown Mode (SD is asserted) 4. S/W reset 5. I2C read of the STATUS register: Reading the STATUS register will clear any error status bit set in STATUS along with the ERR_CHAN field and de-assert INTB Setting register CONFIG.INTB_DIS to b1 disables the INTB function and holds the INTB pin high. 8.3.5 Input Deglitch Filter The input deglitch filter suppresses EMI and ringing above the sensor frequency. It does not impact the conversion result as long as its bandwidth is configured to be above the maximum sensor frequency. The input deglitch filter can be configured in MUX_CONFIG.DEGLITCH register field as shown in Table 12. For optimal performance, TI recommends to select the lowest setting that exceeds the sensor oscillation frequency. For example, if the maximum sensor frequency is 2.0 MHz, choose MUX_CONFIG.DEGLITCH = b100 (3.3 MHz). Table 12.

Once the device is configured, exit Sleep Mode by setting CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN to b0. TI recommends to configure the LDC while in Sleep Mode. If a setting on the LDC needs to be changed, return the device to Sleep Mode, change the appropriate register, and then exit Sleep Mode. 8.4.2 Normal (Conversion) Mode When operating in the normal (conversion) mode, the LDC is periodically sampling the frequency of the sensor(s) and generating sample outputs for the active channel(s). 8.4.3 Sleep Mode Sleep Mode is entered by setting the CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN register field to 1. While in this mode, the device configuration is maintained. To exit Sleep Mode, set the CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN register field to 0. After setting CONFIG.SLEEP_MODE_EN to b0, sensor activation for the first conversion will begin after 16,384 fINT clock cycles. While in Sleep Mode the I2C interface is functional so that register reads and writes can be performed. While in Sleep Mode, no conversions are performed. In addition, entering Sleep Mode will clear conversion results, any error condition and de-assert the INTB pin. 8.4.4 Shutdown Mode When the SD pin is set to high, the LDC will enter Shutdown Mode. Shutdown Mode is the lowest power state. To exit Shutdown Mode, set the SD pin to low. Entering Shutdown Mode will return all registers to their default state. While in Shutdown Mode, no conversions are performed. In addition, entering Shutdown Mode will clear any error condition and de-assert the INTB pin. While the device is in Shutdown Mode, is not possible to read to or write from the device via the I2C interface. 8.4.4.1 Reset The LDC can be reset by writing to RESET_DEV.RESET_DEV. Any active conversion will stop and all register values will return to their default value. This register bit will always return 0b when read. 8.5 Programming The LDC device uses an I2C interface to access control and data registers. 8.5.1 I2C Interface Specifications The LDC uses an extended start sequence with I2C for register access. The maximum speed of the I2C interface is 400kbit/s. This sequence follows the standard I2C 7bit slave address followed by an 8bit pointer register byte to set the register address. When the ADDR pin is set low, the LDC I2C address is 0x2A; when the ADDR pin is set high, the LDC I2C address is 0x2B. The ADDR pin must not change state after the LDC exits Shutdown Mode. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 www.ti.com SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 Programming (continued) 1 9 1 9 SCL A6 SDA A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 R/W Start by Master R7 R6 R5 Ack by Slave Frame 1 Serial Bus Address Byte from Master 1 9 R4 R3 R2 R1 R0 Ack by Slave Frame 2 Slave Register Address 1 9 SCL D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 SDA D8 D7 D6 D5 Ack by Slave Frame 3 Data MSB from Master D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Ack by Slave Frame 4 Data LSB from Master Stop by Master Figure 15.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 9.1 Application Information 9.1.1 Theory of Operation 9.1.1.1 Conductive Objects in an EM Field An AC current flowing through an inductor will generate an AC magnetic field. If a conductive material, such as a metal object, is brought into the vicinity of the inductor, the magnetic field will induce a circulating current (eddy current) on the surface of the conductor. Conductive Target Eddy Current d Figure 49. Conductor in AC Magnetic Field The eddy current is a function of the distance, size, and composition of the conductor. The eddy current generates its own magnetic field, which opposes the original field generated by the sensor inductor. This effect is equivalent to a set of coupled inductors, where the sensor inductor is the primary winding and the eddy current in the target object represents the secondary inductor. The coupling between the inductors is a function of the sensor inductor, and the resistivity, distance, size, and shape of the conductive target. The resistance and inductance of the secondary winding caused by the eddy current can be modeled as a distance dependent resistive and inductive component on the primary side (coil). Figure 49 shows a simplified circuit model of the sensor and the target as coupled coils. 9.1.1.2 L-C Resonators An EM field can be generated using an L-C resonator, or L-C tank. One topology for an L-C tank is a parallel RL-C construction, as shown in Figure 50.

Electrical Model of the L-C Tank Sensor An oscillator can be constructed by combining a frequency selective circuit (resonator) with a gain block in a closed loop. The criteria for oscillation are: (1) loop gain > 1, and (2) closed loop phase shift of 2π radians. The R-L-C resonator provides the frequency selectivity and contributes to the phase shift. At resonance, the impedance of the reactive components (L and C) cancels, leaving only RP, the lossy (resistive) element in the circuit. The voltage amplitude is maximized. The RP can be used to determine the sensor drive current. A lower RP requires a larger sensor current to maintain a constant oscillation amplitude.

See http://www.ti.com/webench. RP is a function of target distance, target material, and sensor characteristics. Figure 51 shows that RP is directly proportional to the distance between the sensor and the target.

Example RP vs. Distance with a 14-mm PCB Coil and 2mm Thick Stainless Steel Target It is important to configure the LDC current drive so that the sensor will still oscillate at the minimum RP value. For example, if the closest target distance in a system with the response shown in Figure 51 is 1mm, then the LDC RP value is 5 kΩ. The objective is to maintain a sufficient sensor oscillation voltage so that the sensor frequency can be measured even at the minimum operating distance.

Example Sensor Frequency, Inductance vs. Target Distance with 14-mm PCB Coil and 1.5 mm Thick Aluminum Target In the absence of magnetic materials, such as ferrous metals and ferrites, the inductance shift, and therefore the measured frequency shift, depends only on current flow geometries. Temperature drift is dominated by physical expansion of the inductor and other mechanical system components over temperature which alter current flow geometries. Note that the additional temperature drift of the sensor capacitor must also be taken into account.

This example is representative of an axial displacement application, in which the target movement is perpendicular to the plane of the coil.

The target distance, resolution and diameter are used as inputs to WEBENCH to design the sensor coil, The resulting coil design is a 2 layer coil, with an area of 2.5 cm2, diameter of 1.77 cm, and 39 turns. The values for RP, L and C are: RP = 6.6 kΩ, L = 43.9 µH, C = 100 pF. Using L and C, fSENSOR = 1/2π√(LC) = 1/2π√(43.9*10-6 * 100*10-12) = 2.4 MHz Using a system master clock of 40 MHz applied to the CLKIN pin allows flexibility for setting the internal clock frequencies. The sensor coil is connected to channel 0 (IN0A and IN0B pins). After powering on the LDC, it will be in Sleep Mode. Program the registers as follows (example sets registers for channel 0 only; channel 1 registers can use equivalent configuration): Set the dividers for channel 0. (a) Because the sensor freqeuncy is less than 8.75 MHz, the sensor divider can be set to 1, which means setting field CH0_FIN_DIVIDER to 0x1. By default, fIN0 = fSENSOR = 2.4MHz. (b) The design constraint for fREF0 is > 4 × fSENSOR. A 20 MHz reference frequency satisfies this constraint, so the reference divider should be set to 2. This is done by setting the CH0_FREF_DIVIDER field to 0x02. (c) The combined value for Chan. 0 divider register (0x14) is 0x1002. Program the settling time for Channel 0. The calculated Q of the coil is 10 (see Multi-Channel and Single Channel Operation). (a) CH0_SETTLECOUNT ≥ Q × fREF0 / (16 × fSENSOR0) → 5.2, rounded up to 6. To provide margin to account for system tolerances, a higher value of 10 is chosen. (b) Register 0x10 should be programmed to a minimum of 10. (c) The settle time is: (10 x 16)/20,000,000 = 8 µs (d) The value for Chan. 0 SETTLECOUNT register (0x10) is 0x000A. The channel switching delay is ~1μs for fREF = 20 MHz (see Multi-Channel and Single Channel Operation) Set the conversion time by the programming the reference count for Channel 0. The budget for the conversion time is : TSAMPLE – settling time – channel switching delay = 1000 – 8 – 1 = 991 µs (a) To determine the conversion time register value, use the following equation and solve for CH0_RCOUNT: Conversion Time (tC0)= (CH0_RCOUNTˣ16)/fREF0. (b) This results in CH0_RCOUNT having a value of 1238 decimal (rounded down) (c) Set the CH0_RCOUNT register (0x08) to 0x04D6. Use the default values for the ERROR_CONFIG register (address 0x19). By default, no interrupts are enabled Sensor drive current: to set the CH0_IDRIVE field value, read the value from Table 10 using RP = 6.6 kΩ. In this case the IDRIVE value should be set to 18 (decimal). The INIT_DRIVE current field should be set to 0x00. The combined value for the DRIVE_CURRENT_CH0 register (addr 0x1E) is 0x9000. Program the MUX_CONFIG register (a) Set the AUTOSCAN_EN to b1 bit to enable sequential mode (b) Set RR_SEQUENCE to b00 to enable data conversion on two channels (channel 0, channel 1) (c) Set DEGLITCH to b100 to set the input deglitch filter bandwidth to 3.3MHz, the lowest setting that exceeds the oscillation tank frequency. (d) The combined value for the MUX_CONFIG register (address 0x1B) is 0x820C Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 43 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 www.ti.com Typical Application (continued) 8. Finally, program the CONFIG register as follows: (a) Set the ACTIVE_CHAN field to b00 to select channel 0. (b) Set SLEEP_MODE_EN field to b0 to enable conversion. (c) Set RP_OVERRIDE_EN to b1 to disable auto-calibration. (d) Set SENSOR_ACTIVATE_SEL = b0, for full current drive during sensor activation (e) Set the AUTO_AMP_DIS field to b1 to disable auto-amplitude correction (f) Set the REF_CLK_SRC field to b1 to use the external clock source. (g) Set the other fields to their default values. (h) The combined value for the CONFIG register (address 0x1A) is 0x1601. We then read the conversion results for channel 0 and channel 1 every 1000 µs from register addresses 0x00 and 0x02. 9.2.2.1 Recommended Initial Register Configuration Values Based on the example configuration in section Detailed Design Procedure, the following register write sequence is recommended: Table 44.

At the Self-Resonant Frequency (SRF), the reactance of the inductor cancels the reactance of the parasitic capacitance. Above the SRF, the inductor will electrically appear to be a capacitor. Because the parasitic capacitance is not well-controlled or stable, TI recommends that: fSENSOR < 0.8 × fSR. 175.0 150.0 Ls (µH) 125.0 100.0 75.0 50.0 25.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 Frequency (MHz) Figure 54. Example Coil Inductance vs. Frequency In Figure 54, the inductor has a SRF at 6.38 MHz; therefore the inductor should not be operated above 0.8×6.38 MHz, or 5.1 MHz. 9.2.3 Application Curves Common test conditions (unless specified otherwise): • Sensor inductor: 2 layer, 32 turns/layer, 14mm diameter, PCB inductor with L=19.4 µH, RP=5.7 kΩ at 2 MHz • Sensor capacitor: 330pF 1% COG/NP0 • Target: Aluminum, 1.5 mm thickness • Channel = Channel 0 (continuous mode) • CLKIN = 40MHz, CHx_FIN_DIVIDER = 0x01, CHx_FREF_DIVIDER = 0x001 • CH0_RCOUNT = 0xFFFF, SETTLECOUNT_CH0 = 0x0100 • RP_OVERRIDE = 1, AUTO_AMP_DIS = 1, DRIVE_CURRENT_CH0 = 0x9800 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 45 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 www.ti.com 3500 2.5 2.25 Measurement Precision (µm) Output Code - DATA_CH0 (DEC) Average Code (DEC) 3000 2500 Target Distance = 0.5 x coil diameter 2000 Target Distance = 1 x coil diameter 1500 2 1.75 1.5 1.25 1 0.75 0.5 0.25 1000 0 20% 40% 60% Target Distance / ‡SENSOR 80% 100% 0 0.1 0.2 D012 Figure 55.

Measurement precision in Distance vs. Target Distance (0 to 10mm) 10 Power Supply Recommendations • • The LDC requires a voltage supply within 2.7 V and 3.6 V. A multilayer ceramic bypass X7R capacitor of 1μF between the VDD and GND pins is recommended. If the supply is located more than a few inches from the LDC, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitor. An electrolytic capacitor with a value of 10μF is a typical choice. The optimum placement is closest to the VDD and GND terminals of the device. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connection, the VDD terminal, and the GND terminal of the IC. See Figure 57 and Figure 58 for a layout example. 11 Layout 11.1 Layout Guidelines Avoid long traces to connect the sensor to the LDC. Short traces reduce parasitic capacitances between sensor inductor and offer higher system performance. 11.2 Layout Example Figure 57 to Figure 60 show the LDC1312 evaluation module (EVM) layout. 46 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LDC1312-Q1 LDC1314-Q1 LDC1312-Q1, LDC1314-Q1 www.ti.com SNOSCZ6 – APRIL 2016 Layout Example (continued) Figure 57.
