GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADT75181 combines a 10-bit temperature-to-digital  
converter, a 10-bit 4-channel ADC, and a quad 8-bit DAC, in a  
16-lead QSOP package. The part also includes a band gap  
temperature sensor and a 10-bit ADC to monitor and digitize  
the temperature reading to a resolution of 0.25°C.  
LDAC  
nal  
pin. The ADT7518 incorporates a power-on reset  
circuit, which ensures that the DAC output powers up to 0 V  
and remains there until a valid write takes place.  
The ADT7518s wide supply voltage range, low supply current,  
and SPI-/I2C-compatible interface make it ideal for a variety of  
applications, including personal computers, office equipment,  
and domestic appliances.  
The ADT7518 operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The  
input voltage range on the ADC channels is 0 V to 2.25 V, and  
the input bandwidth is dc. The reference for the ADC channels  
is derived internally. The output voltage of the DAC ranges  
from 0 V to VDD, with an output voltage settling time of 7 ms  
typical.  
It is recommended that new designs use the ADT7519 rather  
than the ADT7518. The ADT7518s internal and external temp-  
erature accuracy spec is only valid when not using the internal  
reference for the on-chip DAC. The ADT7519 does not have  
this limitation.  
The ADT7518 provides two serial interface options: a 4-wire  
serial interface that is compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE,  
and DSP interface standards, and a 2-wire SMBus/I2C interface.  
It features a standby mode that is controlled through the serial  
interface.

2 DC specifications are tested with the outputs unloaded.  
3 Linearity is tested using a reduced code range: ADT7518 (Code 8 to 255).  
4 Guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested.  
5 Round robin is the continuous sequential measurement of the following channels: VDD, internal temperature, external temperature (AIN1, AIN2), AIN3, and AIN4.  
6 The temperature accuracy specifications are valid when the internal reference is not being used by the on-chip DAC. For new designs, the ADT7519 is recommended  
as it does not have this limitation.  
7 For the amplifier output to reach its minimum voltage, the offset error must be negative. For the amplifier output to reach its maximum voltage (VREF = VDD), the offset  
plus gain error must be positive.  
8 The SDA and SCL timing is measured with the input filters turned on to meet the fast-mode I2C specification. Switching off the input filters improves the transfer rate  
but has a negative effect on the EMC behavior of the part.  
9 Guaranteed by design, not production tested.  
10 All input signals are specified with tr = tf = 5 ns (10% to 90% of VDD), and timed from a voltage level of 1.6 V.  
11 Measured with the load circuit shown in Figure 4.  
12 The IDD specification is valid for all DAC codes and full-scale analog input voltages. Interface inactive. All DACs and ADCs active. Load currents excluded.

ESD CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on  
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features  
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy  
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.

Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC A. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.  
Reference Input Pin for All Four DACs. This input is buffered and has an input range from 1 V to VDD.  
SPI Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When CS goes low, it enables  
the input register, and data is transferred in on the rising edges and out on the falling edges of the subsequent serial  
clocks. It is recommended that this pin be tied high to VDD when operating the serial interface in I2C mode.

AIN2. Analog Input. Single-ended analog input channel. Input range is 0 V to 2.25 V or 0 V to VDD.  
LDAC/AIN3 LDAC. Active Low Control Input. Transfers the contents of the input registers to their respective DAC registers. A  
falling edge on this pin forces any or all DAC registers to be updated if the input registers have new data. A minimum  
pulse width of 20 ns must be applied to the LDAC pin to ensure proper loading of a DAC register. This allows simul-  
taneous update of all DAC outputs. Bit C3 of the Control Configuration 3 register enables the LDAC pin. Default is  
with the LDAC pin controlling the loading of the DAC registers.  
AIN3. Analog Input. Single-ended analog input channel. Input range is 0 V to 2.25 V or 0 V to VDD.

INT/INT  
Over Limit Interrupt. The output polarity of this pin can be set to give an active low or active high interrupt when  
temperature,VDD, or AIN limits are exceeded. The default is active low. Open-drain output—needs a pull-up resistor.  
DOUT/ADD SPI Serial Data Output. Logic output. Data is clocked out of any register at this pin. Data is clocked out on the falling  
edge of SCLK. Open-drain output—needs a pull-up resistor.  
ADD. I2C Serial Bus Address Selection Pin. Logic input. A low on this pin gives the address 1001 000; leaving it floating  
gives the address 1001 010; and setting it high gives the address 1001 011. The I2C address set up by the ADD pin is  
not latched by the device until after this address has been sent twice. On the eighth SCL cycle of the second valid  
communication, the serial bus address is latched in. Any subsequent changes on this pin will have no effect on the  
I2C serial bus address.

TERMINOLOGY  
Relative Accuracy  
increase in rates of reaction within the semiconductor material.  
Relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL) is a measure of  
the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from a straight line passing  
through the endpoints of the transfer function. Typical INL  
versus code plots can be seen in Figure 10, Figure 11, and  
Figure 12.  
DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)  
This indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes  
in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to  
a change in VDD for full-scale output of the DAC. It is measured  
in dB. VREF is held at 2 V and VDD is varied 10%.  
Differential Nonlinearity  
DC Crosstalk  
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the  
measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two  
adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of 0.9 LSB  
maximum ensures monotonicity. Typical DAC DNL versus code  
plots can be seen in Figure 13, Figure 14, and Figure 15.  
This is the dc change in the output level of one DAC in response  
to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured with a  
full-scale output change on one DAC while monitoring another  
DAC. It is expressed in µV.  
Reference Feedthrough  
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)  
This is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the DAC out-  
put to the reference input when the DAC output is not being  
updated (i.e., LDAC is high). It is expressed in dB.  
Total unadjusted error is a comprehensive specification that  
includes the sum of the relative accuracy error, gain error, and  
offset error under a specified set of conditions.  
Channel-to-Channel Isolation  
Offset Error  
This is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the output of  
one DAC to a sine wave on the reference input of another DAC.  
It is measured in dB.  
This is a measure of the offset error of the DAC and the output  
amplifier (see Figure 8 and Figure 9). It can be negative or  
positive, and it is expressed in mV.  
Major-Code Transition Glitch Energy  
Offset Error Match  
Major-code transition glitch energy is the energy of the impulse  
injected into the analog output when the code in the DAC  
register changes state. It is normally specified as the area of the  
glitch in nV-s and is measured when the digital code is changed  
by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (011...1 to 100...00 or  
100...00 to 011...11).  
This is the difference in offset error between any two channels.  
Gain Error  
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the  
deviation in slope of the actual DAC transfer characteristic  
from the ideal expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range.  
Digital Feedthrough  
Gain Error Match  
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into  
the analog output of a DAC from the digital input pins of the  
device but is measured when the DAC is not being written to. It  
is specified in nV-s and is measured with a full-scale change on  
the digital input pins, i.e., from all 0s to all 1s or vice versa.  
This is the difference in gain error between any two channels.  
Offset Error Drift  
This is a measure of the change in offset error with changes in  
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.  
Gain Error Drift  
Digital Crosstalk  
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in  
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.  
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC  
at midscale in response to a full-scale code change (all 0s to all  
1s and vice versa) in the input register of another DAC. It is  
measured in standalone mode and is expressed in nV-s.  
Long Term Temperature Drift  
This is a measure of the change in temperature error over time.  
It is expressed in °C. The concept of long-term stability has been  
used for many years to describe the amount an ICs parameter  
shifts during its lifetime. This is a concept that has typically  
been applied to both voltage references and monolithic temp-  
erature sensors. Unfortunately, integrated circuits cannot be  
evaluated at room temperature (25°C) for 10 years or so to  
determine this shift. Manufacturers perform accelerated lifetime  
testing of integrated circuits by operating ICs at elevated temp-  
eratures (between 125°C and 150°C) over a shorter period  
(typically between 500 and 1,000 hours). As a result, the lifetime  
of an integrated circuit is significantly accelerated due to the  
Analog Crosstalk  
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC  
due to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured by  
loading one of the input registers with a full-scale code change  
LDAC  
(all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping

Multiplying Bandwidth  
DAC CODE  
The amplifiers within the DAC have a finite bandwidth. The  
multiplying bandwidth is a measure of this. A sine wave on the  
reference (with full-scale code loaded to the DAC) appears on  
the output. The multiplying bandwidth is the frequency at  
which the output amplitude falls to 3 dB below the input.

ADT7518  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
and DAC B outputs can be configured to give a voltage output  
proportional to the temperature of the internal and external  
temperature sensors, respectively.  
Directly after the power-up calibration routine, the ADT7518  
goes into idle mode. In this mode, the device is not performing  
any measurements and is fully powered up. All four DAC  
outputs are at 0 V.  
The dual serial interface defaults to the I2C protocol on power-  
up. To select and lock in the SPI protocol, follow the selection  
process as described in the Serial Interface Selection section.  
The I2C protocol cannot be locked in, while the SPI protocol is  
automatically locked in on selection. The interface can be  
switched back to be I2C on selection when the device is powered  
off and on. When using I2C, the CS pin should be tied to either  
VDD or GND.  
To begin monitoring, write to the Control Configuration 1  
register (Address 18h) and set Bit C0 = 1. The ADT7518 goes  
into its power-up default measurement mode, which is round  
robin. The device then to take measurements on the VDD chan-  
nel, internal temperature sensor channel, external temperature  
sensor channel, or AIN1 and AIN2, AIN3, and finally AIN4.  
Once it finishes taking measurements on the AIN4 channel, the  
device immediately loops back to start taking measurements on  
the VDD channel and repeats the same cycle as before. This loop  
continues until the monitoring is stopped by resetting Bit C0 of  
the Control Configuration 1 register to 0. It is also possible to  
continue monitoring as well as switching to single-channel  
mode by writing to the Control Configuration 2 register  
(Address 19h) and setting Bit C4 = 1. Further explanation of  
the single-channel and round robin measurement modes is  
given in later sections.  
There are a number of different operating modes on the  
ADT7518 devices and all of them can be controlled by the  
configuration registers. These features consist of enabling and  
INT  
disabling interrupts, polarity of the INT/  
pin, enabling and  
disabling the averaging on the measurement channels SMBus  
timeout and software reset.  
POWER-UP CALIBRATION  
It is recommended that no communication to the part be ini-  
tiated until approximately 5 ms after VDD has settled to within  
10% of its final value. It is generally accepted that most systems  
take a maximum of 50 ms to power up. Power-up time is  
directly related to the amount of decoupling on the voltage  
supply line.  
All measurement channels have averaging enabled on them on  
power-up. Averaging forces the device to take an average of 16  
readings before giving a final measured result. To disable aver-  
aging and consequently decrease the conversion time by a factor  
of 16, set Bit C5 = 1 in the Control Configuration 2 register.  
During the 5 ms after VDD has settled, the part is performing a  
calibration routine. Any communication to the device during  
calibration will interrupt this routine, and could cause erro-  
neous temperature measurements. If it is not possible to have  
VDD at its nominal value by the time 50 ms has elapsed or if  
communication to the device has started prior to VDD settling, it  
is recommended that a measurement be taken on the VDD chan-  
nel before a temperature measurement is taken. The VDD  
measurement is used to calibrate out any temperature measure-  
ment error due to different supply voltage values.  
There are four single-ended analog input channels on the  
ADT7518: AIN1 to AIN4. AIN1 and AIN2 are multiplexed with  
the external temperature sensor terminals D+ and D–. Bits C1  
and C2 of the Control Configuration 1 register (Address 18h)  
are used to select between AIN1/AIN2 and the external  
temperature sensor. The input range on the analog input  
channels is dependent on whether the ADC reference used is  
the internal VREF or VDD. To meet linearity specifications, it is  
recommended that the maximum VDD value is 5 V. Bit C4 of the  
Control Configuration 3 register is used to select between the  
internal reference or VDD as the analog inputsADC reference.  
CONVERSION SPEED  
The internal oscillator circuit used by the ADC has the capa-  
bility to output two different clock frequencies. This means that  
the ADC is capable of running at two different speeds when  
doing a conversion on a measurement channel. Thus, the time  
taken to perform a conversion on a channel can be reduced by  
setting Bit C0 of the Control Configuration 3 register (Address  
1Ah). This increases the ADC clock speed from 1.4 kHz to 22  
kHz. At the higher clock speed, the analog filters on the D+ and  
D– input pins (external temperature sensor) are switched off.  
This is why the power-up default setting is to have the ADC  
working at the slow speed. The typical times for fast and slow  
ADC speeds are given in the specifications.  
Controlling the DAC outputs can be done by writing to the  
DACs’ MSB and LSB registers (Addresses 10h to 17h). The  
power-up default setting is to have a low going pulse on the  
pin (Pin 9) controlling the updating of the DAC outputs  
LDAC  
from the DAC registers. Alternatively, one can configure the  
updating of the DAC outputs to be controlled by means other  
than the  
pin by setting Bit C3 = 1 of the Control Config-  
LDAC  
uration 3 register (Address 1Ah). The DAC Configuration  
register (Address 1Bh) and the LDAC Configuration register  
(Address 1Ch) can now be used to control the DAC updating.  
These two registers also control the output range of the DACs  
and selecting between the internal or external reference. DAC A

ADT7518  
The ADT7518 powers up with averaging on. This means every  
channel is measured 16 times and internally averaged to reduce  
noise. The conversion time can also be sped up by turning off  
the averaging. This is done by setting Bit C5 of the Control  
Configuration 2 register (Address 19h) to 1.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION—VOLTAGE OUTPUT  
Digital-to-Analog Converters  
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 39. It is simply a  
string of resistors, each of approximately 603 Ω. The digital  
code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node on  
the string the voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output  
amplifier. The voltage is tapped off by closing one of the  
switches connecting the string to the amplifier. Because it is a  
string of resistors, it is guaranteed monotonic.  
The ADT7518 has four resistor string DACs fabricated on a  
CMOS process with resolutions of 12, 10, and 8 bits, respec-  
tively. They contain four output buffer amplifiers and are  
written to via I2C serial interface or SPI serial interface. See  
the Serial Interface section for more information.  
The ADT7518 operates from a single supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V,  
and the output buffer amplifiers provide rail-to-rail output  
swing with a slew rate of 0.7 V/µs. All four DACs share a com-  
mon reference input, VREF-IN. The reference input is buffered to  
draw virtually no current from the reference source because it  
offers the source a high impedance input. The devices have a  
power-down mode in which all DACs may be turned off  
completely with a high impedance output.

Each DAC output will not be updated until it receives the  
LDAC command. Therefore, while the DAC registers would  
have been written to with a new value, this value will not be  
represented by a voltage output until the DACs have received  
the LDAC command. Reading back from any DAC register  
prior to issuing an LDAC command will result in the digital  
value that corresponds to the DAC output voltage. Thus, the  
digital value written to the DAC register cannot be read back  
until after the LDAC command has been initiated. This LDAC

The architecture of one DAC channel consists of a resistor

at the VREF-IN pin or the on-chip reference of 2.25 V provides  
the reference voltage for the corresponding DAC. Figure 38

output voltage span to 2 VREF can be done by setting D0 = 1 for  
DAC A (internal temperature sensor) and D1 = 1 for DAC B  
(external temperature sensor) in the DAC configuration register  
(Address 1Bh).  
The advantage with the buffered input is the high impedance it  
presents to the voltage source driving it. The user can have an  
external reference voltage as low as 1 V and as high as VDD. The  
restriction of 1 V is due to the footroom of the reference buffer.  
The output voltage is capable of tracking a maximum temp-  
erature range of –128°C to +127°C, but the default setting is  
–40°C to +127°C. If the output voltage range is 0 V to VREF-IN  
(VREF-IN = 2.25 V), then this corresponds to 0 V representing  
–40°C, and 1.48 V representing +127°C. This, of course, will

give an upper deadband between 1.48 V and VREF  
.
Output Amplifier  
The internal and external analog temperature offset registers  
can be used to vary this upper deadband and, consequently, the  
temperature that 0 V corresponds to. Table 6 and Table 7 give  
examples of how this is done using a DAC output voltage span  
of VREF and 2 VREF, respectively. Simply write in the temperature  
value, in twos complement format, at which 0 V is to start. For  
example, if using the DAC A output and 0 V to start at –40°C,  
program D8h into the internal analog temperature offset reg-  
ister (Address 21h). This is an 8-bit register and has a temp-  
erature offset resolution of only 1°C for all device models. Use  
the formulas following the tables to determine the value to  
program into the offset registers.  
The output buffer amplifier can generate output voltages to  
within 1 mV of either rail. Its actual range depends on the value  
of VREF, gain, and offset error.  
If a gain of 1 is selected (Bits 0 to 3 of the DAC configuration  
register = 0), the output range is 0.001 V to VREF  
.
If a gain of 2 is selected (Bits 0 to 3 of the DAC configuration  
register = 1), the output range is 0.001 V to 2 VREF. Because of  
clamping, however, the maximum output is limited to VDD  
0.001 V.  
The output amplifier can drive a load of 4.7 kΩ to GND or VDD,  
in parallel with 200 pF to GND or VDD (see Figure 5). The  
source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen  
in the plot of Figure 16.

The ADT7518 offers four single-ended analog input channels.  
The analog input range is from 0 V to 2.25 V, or 0 V to VDD. To  
maintain the linearity specification, it is recommended that the  
maximum VDD value be set at 5 V. Selection between the two  
input ranges is done by Bit C4 of the Control Configuration 3  
register (Address 1Ah). Setting this bit to 0 sets up the analog  
input ADC reference to be sourced from the internal voltage  
reference of 2.25 V. Setting the bit to 1 sets up the ADC  
reference to be sourced from VDD.  
Since a negative temperature has been inserted into the  
equation, DB7 (MSB) of the offset register code is set to 1.  
Therefore 58h becomes D8h.  
58h + DB7(1) = D8h

The ADC resolution is 10 bits and is mostly suitable for dc input  
signals. Bits C1:2 of the Control Configuration 1 register  
(Address 18h) are used to set up Pins 7 and 8 as AIN1 and  
AIN2. Figure 44 shows the overall view of the 4-channel analog  
input path.  
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION  
The output coding of the ADT7518 analog inputs is straight  
binary. The designed code transitions occur midway between  
successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSB). The LSB is  
VDD/1024 or internal VREF/1024, internal VREF = 2.25 V. The ideal  
transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 47.

Figure 48 shows the input structure on any of the analog input  
pins that provides ESD protection. The diode provides the main  
ESD protection for the analog inputs. Care must be taken that  
the analog input signal never drops below the GND rail by  
more than 200 mV. If this happens, the diode will become  
forward-biased and start conducting current into the substrate.  
The 4 pF capacitor is the typical pin capacitance and the resistor  
is a lumped component made up of the on-resistance of the  
multiplexer switch.  
Figure 46. ADC Conversion Phase  
When the ADC eventually goes into conversion phase (see  
Figure 46), SW2 opens and SW1 moves to position B, causing  
the comparator to become unbalanced. The control logic and  
the DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge  
from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator back into  
a balanced condition. When the comparator is rebalanced, the  
conversion is complete. The control logic generates the ADC  
output code. Figure 47 shows the ADC transfer function for the  
analog inputs.

The measured results from the temperature sensors are com-  
pared with the internal and external THIGH, TLOW limits. These  
temperature limits are stored in on-chip registers. If the temp-  
erature limits are not masked, any out-of-limit comparisons  
generate flags that are stored in the Interrupt Status 1 register.  
The measured results from the AIN inputs are compared with  
the AIN VHIGH (greater than comparison) and VLOW (less than or  
equal to comparison) limits. An interrupt occurs if the AIN  
inputs exceed or equal the limit registers. These voltage limits  
are stored in on-chip registers. Note that the limit registers are  
8 bits long while the AIN conversion result is 10 bits long. If the  
voltage limits are not masked out, then any out-of-limit com-

first method is applicable when the part is in single-channel

internally averaged to reduce noise. In single-channel mode, the  
part is continuously monitoring the selected channel, i.e., as  
soon as one measurement is taken another one is started on the  
same channel. The total time to measure a temperature channel  
with the ADC operating at slow speed is typically 11.4 ms  
(712 µs × 16) for the internal temperature sensor and 24.22 ms  
(1.51 ms × 16) for the external temperature sensor. The new  
temperature value is stored in two 8-bit registers and is ready  
for reading by the I2C or SPI interface. The user has the option  
of disabling the averaging by setting Bit 5 in the Control  
Configuration 2 register (Address 19h). The ADT7518 defaults

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION—MEASUREMENT  
Temperature Sensor  
The ADT7518 contains an ADC with special input signal  
conditioning to enable operation with external and on-chip  
diode temperature sensors. When the ADT7518 is operating in  
single-channel mode, the ADC continually processes the  
measurement taken on one channel only. This channel is  
preselected by Bits C0:C2 in the Control Configuration 2  
register (Address 19h). When in round robin mode, the analog  
input multiplexer sequentially selects the VDD input channel, the  
on-chip temperature sensor to measure its internal temperature,  
either the external temperature sensor or AIN1 and AIN2,  
AIN3, and then AIN4. These signals are digitized by the ADC  
and the results are stored in the various value registers.

ADT7518  
The second method is applicable when the part is in round  
robin measurement mode. The part measures both the internal  
and external temperature sensors as it cycles through all pos-  
sible measurement channels. The two temperature channels are  
measured each time the part runs a round robin sequence. In  
round robin mode, the part continuously measures all channels.

Temperature measurement is also initiated after every read or  
write to the part when the part is in either single-channel  
measurement mode or round robin measurement mode.  
Once serial communication has started, any conversion in  
progress is stopped and the ADC is reset. Conversion starts  
again immediately after the serial communication has finished.  
The temperature measurement proceeds normally as described  
in the preceding section.

On-Chip Reference  
The ADT7518 has an on-chip 1.2 V band gap reference, which  
is gained up by a switched capacitor amplifier to give an output  
of 2.25 V. The amplifier is powered up for the duration of the  
device monitoring phase and is powered down once monitoring  
is disabled. This saves on current consumption. The internal  
reference is used as the reference for the ADC. The ADC is used  
for measuring VDD, internal temperature sensor, external temp-  
erature sensor, and AIN inputs. The internal reference is always  
used when measuring VDD, and the internal and external temp-  
erature sensors. The external reference is the default power-up  
reference for the DACs.  
VDD Monitoring  
The ADT7518 also has the ability to monitor its own power  
supply. The part measures the voltage on its VDD pin to a  
resolution of 10 bits. The resulting value is stored in two 8-bit  
registers; the two LSBs are stored in register address 03h and the  
eight MSBs are stored in Register Address 06h. This allows the  
option of doing just a 1-byte read if 10-bit resolution is not  
important. The measured result is compared with the VHIGH and  
VLOW limits. If the VDD interrupt is not masked, any out-of-limit  
comparison generates a flag in the Interrupt Status 2 register  
Round Robin Measurement  
and one or more out-of-limit results will cause the INT/  
INT  
output to pull either high or low, depending on the output  
polarity setting.  
On power-up, the ADT7518 goes into round robin mode but  
monitoring is disabled. Setting Bit C0 of the Configuration  
Register 1 to 1 enables conversions. It sequences through all the  
available channels, taking a measurement from each in the  
following order: VDD, internal temperature sensor, external  
temperature sensor/(AIN1 and AIN2), AIN3, and AIN4. Pin 7  
and Pin 8 can be configured to be either external temperature  
sensor pins or standalone analog input pins. Once conversion is  
completed on the AIN4 channel, the device loops around for  
another measurement cycle. This method of taking a measure-  
ment on all the channels in one cycle is called round robin.  
Setting Bit C4 of Control Configuration 2 (Address 19h)  
disables the round robin mode and in turn sets up the single-  
channel mode. The single-channel mode is where only one  
channel, e.g., the internal temperature sensor, is measured in  
each conversion cycle.  
Measuring the voltage on the VDD pin is regarded as monitoring  
a channel along with the internal, external, and AIN channels.  
The user can select the VDD channel for single-channel  
measurement by setting Bit C4 = 1 and setting Bits C0:C2 to all  
0s in the Control Configuration 2 register.  
When measuring the VDD value, the reference for the ADC is  
sourced from the internal reference. Table 8 shows the data  
format. As the maximum VDD voltage measurable is 7 V, internal  
scaling is performed on the VDD voltage to match the 2.25 V  
internal reference value. Below is an example of how the  
transfer function works.  
V
DD = 5 V  
ADC Reference = 2.25 V  
1 LSB = ADC Reference/210  
The time taken to monitor all channels will normally not be of  
interest, since the most recently measured value can be read at  
any time. For applications where the round robin time is impor-  
tant, typical times at 25°C are given in the specifications.  
= 2.25/1024  
= 2.226 mV  
Scale Factor = Full-Scale VCC/ADC Reference  
= 7/2.25  
= 3.07  
Single-Channel Measurement  
Setting C4 of the Control Configuration 2 register enables the  
single-channel mode and allows the ADT7518 to focus on one  
channel only. A channel is selected by writing to Bits C0:C2 in  
the Control Configuration 2 register. For example, to select the  
VDD channel for monitoring, write to the Control Configuration  
Conversion Result = VDD/(Scale Factor × LSB size)  
= 5/(3.07 × 2.226 mV)  
= 2 DCh  
Rev. A | Page 23 of 40  
 
ADT7518  
2 register and set C4 to 1 (if not done so already), then write all  
0s to Bits C0:C2. All subsequent conversions will be done on the  
VDD channel only. To change the channel selection to the inter-  
nal temperature channel, write to the Control Configuration 2  
register and set C0 = 1. When measuring in single-channel  
mode, conversions on the channel selected occur directly after  
each other. Any communication to the ADT7518 stops the  
conversions, but they are restarted once the read or write  
operation is completed.  
To prevent ground noise interfering with the measurement, the  
more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to  
ground, but is biased above ground by an internal diode at the  
D– input. As the sensor is operating in a noisy environment, C1  
is provided as a noise filter. See the Layout Considerations  
section for more information on C1.  
To measure ∆VBE, the sensor is switched between operating cur-  
rents of I and N × I. The resulting waveform is passed through a  
low-pass filter to remove noise, then to a chopper-stabilized  
amplifier that performs the functions of amplification and recti-  
fication of the waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional  
to ∆VBE. This voltage is measured by the ADC to give a temper-  
ature output in 10-bit twos complement format. To further  
reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by  
averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles.  
Internal Temperature Measurement  
The ADT7518 contains an on-chip band gap temperature  
sensor whose output is digitized by the on-chip ADC. The  
temperature data is stored in the Internal Temperature Value  
register. Because both positive and negative temperatures can be  
measured, the temperature data is stored in twos complement  
format, as shown in Table 9. The thermal characteristics of the  
measurement sensor could change and, therefore, an offset is  
added to the measured value to enable the transfer function to  
match the thermal characteristics. This offset is added before  
the temperature data is stored. The offset value used is stored in  
the internal temperature offset register.  
Layout Considerations  
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments, and care  
must be taken to protect the analog inputs from noise, particu-  
larly when measuring the very small voltages from a remote  
diode sensor. The following precautions should be taken:  
1. Place the ADT7518 as close as possible to the remote  
sensing diode. Provided that the worst noise sources such  
as clock generators, data/address buses, and CRTs are  
avoided, this distance can be 4 inches to 8 inches.  
External Temperature Measurement  
The ADT7518 can measure the temperature of one external  
diode sensor or diode-connected transistor.  
2. Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in parallel, with  
grounded guard tracks on each side. Provide a ground  
plane under the tracks, if possible.  
The forward voltage of a diode or diode-connected transistor,  
operated at a constant current, exhibits a negative temperature  
coefficient of about –2 mV/°C. Unfortunately, because the  
absolute value of VBE varies from device to device, and indivi-  
dual calibration is required to null this out, the technique is  
unsuitable for mass production.  
3. Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise  
pickup. A 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is  
recommended.  
The technique used in the ADT7518 is to measure the change in  
VBE when the device is operated at two different currents. This is  
given by

Figure 50. Arrangement of Signal Tracks  
Figure 41 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure  
the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows  
the external sensor as a substrate transistor, provided for temp-  
erature monitoring on some microprocessors, but it could  
equally well be a discrete transistor.  
4. Try to minimize the number of copper/solder joints, which  
can cause thermocouple effects. Where copper/solder  
joints are used, make sure that they are in both the D+ and  
D– path and at the same temperature. Thermocouple  
effects should not be a major problem because 1°C corres-  
ponds to about 240 µV, and thermocouple voltages are  
about 3 µV/°C of temperature difference. Unless there are  
two thermocouples with a big temperature differential  
between them, thermocouple voltages should be much less  
than 200 mV.  
If a discrete transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and  
should be linked to the base. If a PNP transistor is used, the base  
is connected to the D– input and the emitter to the D+ input. If  
an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is connected to the D–  
input and the base to the D+ input. A 2N3906 is recommended  
as the external transistor.

Interrupts  
5. Place 0.1 µF bypass and 2,200 pF input filter capacitors  
close to the ADT7518.  
The measured results from the internal temperature sensor,  
external temperature sensor, VDD pin, and AIN inputs are  
compared with the THIGH/VHIGH (greater than comparison) and  
TLOW/VLOW (less than or equal to comparison) limits. An inter-  
rupt occurs if the measurement exceeds or equals the limit  
registers. These limits are stored in on-chip registers. Note that  
the limit registers are 8 bits long while the conversion results are  
10 bits long. If the limits are not masked, any out-of-limit com-  
parisons generate flags that are stored in the Interrupt Status 1  
register (Address 00h) and Interrupt Status 2 register  
6. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches,  
the use of twisted-pair cable is recommended. This will  
work up to about 6 feet to 12 feet.  
7. For long distances (up to 100 feet), use shielded twisted-  
pair cable, such as Belden #8451 microphone cable.  
Connect the twisted pair to D+ and D– and the shield to  
GND close to the ADT7518. Leave the remote end of the  
shield unconnected to avoid ground loops.  
Because the measurement technique uses switched current  
sources, excessive cable and/or filter capacitance can affect the  
measurement. When using long cables, the filter capacitor may  
be reduced or removed.  
(Address 01h). One or more out-of-limit results will cause the  
INT/  
output to pull either high or low depending on the  
INT  
output polarity setting. It is good design practice to mask out  
interrupts for channels that are of no concern to the application.  
Cable resistance can also introduce errors. Series resistance of  
1 Ω introduces about 0.5°C error.  
Figure 49 shows the interrupt structure for the ADT7518. It  
gives a block diagram representation of how the various  
measurement channels affect the INT/  
pin.  
INT  
Temperature Value Format  
One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 0.25°C. The ADC can  
theoretically measure a temperature span of 255°C. The internal  
temperature sensor is guaranteed to a low value limit of –40°C.  
It is possible to measure the full temperature span using the  
external temperature sensor. The temperature data format is  
shown in Table 9.  
ADT7518 REGISTERS  
The ADT7518 contains registers that are used to store the  
results of external and internal temperature measurements, VDD  
value measurements, analog input measurements, high and low  
temperature limits, supply voltage and analog input limits, to set  
output DAC voltage levels, to configure multipurpose pins, and  
generally to control the device. A description of these registers  
follows.  
The result of the internal or external temperature measure-  
ments is stored in the temperature value registers, and is com-  
pared with limits programmed into the internal or external high  
and low registers.  
The register map is divided into registers of 8 bits. Each register  
has its own individual address, but some consist of data that is  
linked to other registers. These registers hold the 10-bit conver-  
sion results of measurements taken on the temperature, VDD,  
and AIN channels. For example, the eight MSBs of the VDD  
measurement are stored in Register Address 06h, while the two  
LSBs are stored in Register Address 03h. These types of registers  
are linked such that when the LSB register is read first, the MSB  
registers associated with that LSB register are locked to prevent  
any updates. To unlock these MSB registers, the user has only to  
read any one of them, which will have the effect of unlocking all  
previously locked MSB registers. So, for the preceding example,  
if Register 03h was read first, MSB Registers 06h and 07h would  
be locked to prevent any updates to them. If Register 06h were  
read, this register and Register 07h would be subsequently  
unlocked.

Like all I2C-compatible devices, the ADT7518 has a 7-bit serial  
address. The four MSBs of this address for the ADT7518 are set  
to 1001. The three LSBs are set by Pin 11, ADD. The ADD pin  
can be configured three ways to give three different address  
options: low, floating, and high. Setting the ADD pin low gives a  
serial bus address of 1001 000, leaving it floating gives the  
address 1001 010, and setting it high gives the address 1001 011.  
The recommended pull-up resistor value is 10 kΩ.  
Figure 53 shows the selection process necessary to lock the SPI  
interface mode.  
To communicate to the ADT7518 using the SPI protocol, send

There is an enable/disable bit for the SMBus timeout. When this  
is enabled, the SMBus will time out after 25 ms of no activity. To  
enable it, set Bit 6 of the Control Configuration 2 register. The

As per most SPI standards, the CS line must be low during  
every SPI communication to the ADT7518 and high all other  
times. Typical examples of how to connect the dual interface as  
I2C or SPI is shown in Figure 54 and Figure 55. The following  
sections describe in detail how to use the I2C and SPI protocols  
associated with the ADT7518.  
The ADT7518 supports SMBus packet error checking (PEC),  
but its use is optional. It is triggered by supplying the extra  
clocks for the PEC byte. The PEC is calculated using CRC-8.

ADT7518  
Writing to the Address Pointer Register for a  
Subsequent Read  
The serial bus protocol operates as follows:  
1. The master initiates a 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 an address/data stream will follow. All  
slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the  
start condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of  
To read data from a particular register, the address pointer  
register must contain the address of that register. If it does not,  
the correct address must be written to the address pointer  
register by performing a single-byte write operation, as shown  
in Figure 56. The write operation consists of the serial bus  
address followed by the address pointer byte. No data is written  
to any of the data registers. A read operation is then performed  
to read the register.  
a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an R/ bit, which deter-  
W
mines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data  
will be written to or read from the slave device.  
Writing Data to a Register  
All registers are 8-bit registers, so only one byte of data can be  
written to each register. Writing a single byte of data to one of  
these read/write registers consists of the serial bus address, the  
data register address written to the address pointer register,  
followed by the data byte written to the selected data register.  
This is illustrated in Figure 57. To write to a different register,  
another start or repeated start is required. If more than one byte  
of data is sent in one communication operation, the addressed  
register will repeatedly load until the last data byte is sent.  
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the trans-  
mitted address responds by pulling the data line low during  
the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the  
acknowledge bit. All other devices on the bus now remain  
idle while the selected device waits for data to be read from  
or written to it. If the R/ bit is 0 the master will write to  
W
the slave device. If the R/ bit is 1, the master will read  
W
from the slave device.  
2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock  
pulses: eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit  
from the receiver of data. Transitions on the data line must  
occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain  
stable during the high period, since a low to high transition  
when the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop signal.  
Reading Data from the ADT7518  
Reading data from the ADT7518 is done in a 1-byte operation.  
Reading back the contents of a register is shown in Figure 58.  
The register address had previously been set up by a single-byte  
write operation to the address pointer register. To read from  
another register, write to the address pointer register again to set  
up the relevant register address. Thus, block reads are not  
possible, i.e., no I2C autoincrement.  
3. When all data bytes have been read or written, stop  
conditions are established. In write mode, the master will  
pull the data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert  
a stop condition. In read mode, the master device will pull  
the data line high during the low period before the ninth  
clock pulse. This is known as No Acknowledge. The master  
will then take the data line low during the low period  
before the 10th clock pulse, and then high during the 10th  
clock pulse to assert a stop condition.  
SPI Serial Interface  
The SPI serial interface of the ADT7518 consists of four wires:  
, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT. The  
line is used to select the  
CS  
device when more than one device is connected to the serial  
clock and data lines. The line is also used to distinguish  
CS  
CS  
between any two separate serial communications (see Figure 63  
for a graphical explanation). The SCLK line is used to clock data  
in and out of the part. The DIN line is used to write to the regis-  
ters, and the DOUT line is used to read data back from the  
registers. The recommended pull-up resistor value is between  
500 Ω and 820 Ω.  
Any number of bytes of data can be transferred over the serial  
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write  
in one operation because the type of operation is determined at  
the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without  
starting a new operation.  
The part operates in slave mode and requires an externally  
applied serial clock to the SCLK input. The serial interface is  
designed to allow the part to be interfaced to systems that  
provide a serial clock that is synchronized to the serial data.  
The I2C address set up by the ADD pin is not latched by the  
device until after this address has been sent twice. On the eighth  
SCL cycle of the second valid communication, the serial bus  
address is latched in. This is the SCL cycle directly after the  
device has seen its own I2C serial bus address. Any subsequent  
changes on this pin will have no effect on the I2C serial bus  
address.  
There are two types of serial operations, read and write. Com-  
mand words are used to distinguish read operations from write  
operations. These command words are given in Table 59.  
Address autoincrement is possible in SPI mode.  
Writing to the ADT7518  
Table 59. SPI Command Words  
Depending on the register being written to, there are two  
different writes for the ADT7518. It is not possible to do a block  
write to this part, i.e., no I2C autoincrement.

Write Operation  
Read Operation  
Figure 59 shows the timing diagram for a write operation to the  
ADT7518. Data is clocked into the registers on the rising edge  
Figure 60 to Figure 62 show the timing diagrams necessary to  
accomplish correct read operations. To read back from a reg-  
ister, first write to the address pointer register with the address  
of the register to be read from. This operation is shown in  
Figure 60. Figure 61 shows the procedure for reading back a  
single byte of data. The read command is first sent to the part  
during the first eight clock cycles. During the following eight  
clock cycles, the data contained in the register selected by the  
address pointer register is output onto the DOUT line. Data is  
output onto the DOUT line on the falling edge of SCLK. Figure 62  
shows the procedure when reading data from two sequential  
registers. Multiple data reads are possible in the SPI interface  
mode as the address pointer register is autoincremental. The  
address pointer register will autoincrement from 00h to 3Fh and  
will loop back to start again at 00h when it reaches 3Fh.  
of SCLK. When the  
line is high, the DIN and DOUT lines  
CS  
are in three-state mode. Only when the  
goes from a high to a  
CS  
low does the part accept any data on the DIN line. In SPI mode,  
the address pointer register is capable of autoincrementing to  
the next register in the register map without having to load the  
address pointer register each time. In Figure 59, the register  
address portion gives the first register that will be written to.  
Subsequent data bytes will be written into sequential writable  
registers. Thus, after each data byte has been written into a  
register, the address pointer register autoincrements its value to  
the next available register. The address pointer register will  
autoincrement from 00h to 3Fh and will loop back to start again  
at 00h when it reaches 3Fh.
