APPLICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1191 is an integrated current sense amplifier that
offers digital current and voltage monitoring via an on-chip,
12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated
through an I2C interface.
An internal current sense amplifier senses voltage across the sense
resistor in the power path via the VCC pin and the SENSE pin.
A 12-bit ADC can measure the current seen in the sense
resistor, as well as the supply voltage on the VCC pin.
An industry-standard I2C interface allows a controller to read
current and voltage data from the ADC. Measurements can be
initiated by an I2C command or via the convert (CONV) pin.
The CONV pin is especially useful for synchronizing reads on
multiple ADM1191 devices. Alternatively, the ADC can run
continuously, and the user can read the latest conversion data
whenever it is required. Up to 16 unique I2C addresses can be
created, depending on the way the A0 pin and the A1 pin are
connected.
A SETV pin is also included. A voltage applied to this pin is
internally compared to the output voltage on the current sense
amplifier. The output of the SETV comparator asserts when the
current sense amplifier ouput exceeds the SETV voltage. When
this event occurs, the ALERTB output asserts.

Description
Positive Supply Input Pin. The operating supply voltage range is from 3.15 V to 26 V. An undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) circuit resets the ADM1191 when a low supply voltage is detected.
Current Sense Input Pin. A sense resistor between the VCC pin and the SENSE pin generates a voltage across
a sense resistor. This voltage is proportional to the load current. A current sense amplifier amplifies this
voltage before it is digitized by the ADC.
Convert Start Pin. A high level on this pin enables an ADC conversion. The state of an internal control register,
which is set through the I2C interface, configures the part to convert current only, voltage only, or both
channels when the convert pin is asserted.
Chip Ground Pin.
Input Pin. The voltage driven onto this pin is compared to the output of the internal current sense amplifier.
The lower the voltage on the SETV, the lower the current level that causes the ALERTB output to assert.
I2C Clock Pin. Open-drain input; requires an external resistive pull-up.
I2C Data I/O Pin. Open-drain input/output; requires an external resistive pull-up.
I2C Address Pin. This pin can be tied low, tied high, left floating, or tied low through a resistor. Sixteen different
I2C address options are available, depending on the external configuration of the A0 pin and the A1 pin.
I2C Address Pin. This pin can be tied low, tied high, left floating, or tied low through a resistor. Sixteen different
I2C address options are available, depending on the external configuration of the A0 pin and the A1 pin.
Alert Output Pin. Active-low, open-drain configuration. This pin asserts low when an overcurrent condition is
present. The level at which an overcurrent condition is detected depends on the voltage on the SETV pin.

ADM1191
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT READBACK
The ADM1191 contains the components to allow voltage and
current readback over an Inter-IC (I2C) bus. The voltage output
of the current sense amplifier and the voltage on the VCC pin
are fed into a 12-bit ADC via a multiplexer. The device can be
instructed to convert voltage and/or current at any time during
operation via an I2C command or by driving the CONV pin high.
When all conversions are complete, the voltage and/or current
values can be read out to 12-bit accuracy in two or three bytes.
1.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADM1191 is carried out via the serial system
management bus (I2C). This interface is compatible with I2C
fast mode (400 kHz maximum). The ADM1191 is connected to
this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master device.
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the
low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the
acknowledge bit, and holding it low during the high period
of this clock pulse. All other devices on the bus remain idle
while the selected device waits for data to be read from it
or written to it. If the R/W bit is 0, the master writes to the
slave device. If the R/W bit is 1, the master reads from the
slave device.
IDENTIFYING THE ADM1191 ON THE I2C BUS
The ADM1191 has a 7-bit serial bus slave address. When the
device powers up, it does so with a default serial bus address.
The three MSBs of the address are set to 010; the four LSBs are
determined by the state of the A0 pin and the A1 pin. There are
16 different configurations available on the A0 pin and A1 pin
that correspond to 16 different I2C addresses for the four LSBs
(see Table 5). This scheme allows 16 ADM1191 devices to operate
on a single I2C.

The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line, SDA, while the serial clock line, SCL, remains
high. This indicates that a data stream follows. All slave
peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the start
condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of a 7bit slave address (MSB first) plus an R/W bit that
determines the direction of the data transfer; that is,
whether data is written to or read from the slave device
(0 = write, 1 = read).
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses: eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit
from the slave device. Data transitions on the data line
must occur during the low period of the clock signal and
remain stable during the high period, because a low-tohigh transition when the clock is high can be interpreted as
a stop signal.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after
the slave address is a command byte. This tells the slave
device what to expect next. It can be an instruction, such
as telling the slave device to expect a block write, or it can
be a register address that tells the slave where subsequent
data is to be written.
Because data can flow in only one direction, as defined by
the R/W bit, it is not possible to send a command to a slave
device during a read operation. Before doing a read
operation, it may first be necessary to do a write operation
to tell the slave what sort of read operation to expect and/or
the address from which data is to be read.
3.
GENERAL I2C TIMING
Figure 16 and Figure 17 show timing diagrams for general read
and write operations using the I2C. The I2C specification defines
conditions for different types of read and write operations, which
are discussed later. The general I2C protocol operates as follows:
Rev. 0 | Page 9 of 16
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop
conditions are established. In write mode, the master pulls
the data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a
stop condition. In read mode, the master device releases the
SDA line during the low period before the ninth clock
pulse, but the slave device does not pull it low. This is
known as a no acknowledge. The master then takes the data
line low during the low period before the 10th clock pulse,
then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop
condition.

WRITE COMMAND BYTE
WRITE AND READ OPERATIONS
The I C specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The operations used in the
ADM1191 are discussed in the sections that follow. Table 6
shows the abbreviations used in the command diagrams.
In the write command byte operation, the master device sends
a command byte to the slave device, as follows:
1.
The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
Table 6. I2C Abbreviations
2.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
write bit (low).
3.
The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4.
The master sends the command byte. The command byte
is identified by an MSB = 0. An MSB =1 indicates an
extended register write (see the Write Extended Byte
section).
QUICK COMMAND
5.
The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
The quick command operation allows the master to check if the
slave is present on the bus, as follows:
6.
The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.

Function
An ADC-based overcurrent comparison has been detected on the last three conversions.
An ADC-based overcurrent trip has occurred, which has caused the alert. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN
register.
An overcurrent condition is present (that is, the output of the current sense amplifier is greater than the voltage on the
SETV input).
An overcurrent condition has caused the ALERT block to latch a fault, and the ALERTB output has asserted. Cleared by
writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.
Set to 1 by writing to the SWOFF bit of the CONTROL register.
An alert has been caused by the SWOFF bit. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.
ALERTB OUTPUT
The ALERTB output is an open-drain pin with 30 V tolerance.
This output can be used as an overcurrent flag by connecting it
to the general-purpose logic input of a controller. Under normal
operation, this output is pulled high (an external pull-up resistor
should be used because this is an open-drain pin). When an
overcurrent condition occurs, the ADM1191 pulls this output low.

Figure 25. Using the ALERTB Output as an Interrupt
SETV PIN
The SETV pin allows the user to adjust the current level that
trips the ALERTB output. The output of the current sense
amplifier is compared with the voltage driven onto the SETV
pin. If the current sense amplifier output is higher than the
SETV voltage, then the output of the comparator asserts. By
driving a different voltage onto the SETV pin, the ADM1191
detects an overcurrent condition at a different current level,
with a gain of 18. See Figure 15 for an illustration of this
relationship.
When using a low value sense resistor for high current
measurement, the problem of parasitic series resistance can
arise. The lead resistance can be a substantial fraction of the
rated resistance, making the total resistance a function of lead
length. This problem can be avoided by using a Kelvin sense
connection. This type of connection separates the current path
through the resistor and the voltage drop across the resistor.
Figure 27 shows the correct way to connect the sense resistor
between the VCC pin and the SENSE pin of the ADM1191.
