AI  
ADC input voltage. The input range is 0 V to VREF if PVDD = VDD, or 0 V to 2 × VREF if PVDD > 2.7 V.  
Alarm notification. Open drain. When alarm condition is asserted, this pin is held to logic low; otherwise,  
this pin is in a high-impedance state (Hi-Z).

DO  
DO  
CLK_OUT  
CS  
Clock output. This pin can be configured as a clock output for the 1.2288MHz internal clock.  
SPI chip-select. Data bits are clocked into the serial shift register when CS is logic low. When CS is logic  
high, SDO is in a high-impedance state and data on SDI are ignored. Do not leave any digital input pins  
floating.

P
2.7 V to 5.5 V is provided, the internal LDO turns on and drives VDD internally. When 1.71 V to 1.89 V is  
provided, the internal LDO is disabled.  
Internal VREF enable input. A logic high on this pin enables the internal VREF and the VREFIO pin  
outputs 1.25 V. A logic low on this pin disables the internal VREF and the external 1.25-V reference is  
required at the VREFIO pin.  
REF_EN  
DI  
REF_GND  
RESET

(1) Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply  
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions. If  
used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully  
functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime.

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The AFEx8101 feature a 16-bit (AFE88101) or 14bit (AFE78101) string DAC with voltage output buffer. Both  
devices are capable of operating from supplies as low as 1.71 V at very low power, and are designed for 4-mA to  
20-mA, loop-powered applications. The AFEx8101 have two different DAC output voltage ranges depending on  
supply voltage, and two other ranges depending on configuration. The DAC has calibration registers for setting  
gain and offset values for adjusting the DAC outputs. The DAC also has different output slewing modes that  
allow for a programmable linear slew and a sinusoidal shaped output slew.  
The AFEx8101 also feature a 12bit SAR ADC that can be multiplexed to measure different inputs, including  
external nodes and internal nodes for diagnostic measurements on the device. The ADC is capable of making  
direct-mode measurements with on-demand conversions or auto-mode measurements through continuous  
conversions using a channel sequencer with a multiplexer. The devices have optional alarm configurations with  
fault detection and alarm actions.  
Device communication and programming are done through an SPI or through the UART break mode (UBM).  
With the SPI, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is implemented by default, which can be disabled. Additionally,  
communications can be monitored with a watchdog timer (WDT) that alerts the user if the device becomes  
unresponsive to periodic communication.  
The AFEx8101 feature a 1.25-V, onboard precision voltage reference, and an integrated precision oscillator.  
Throughout this data sheet, register and bit names are combined with a period to use the following format:  
<register_name>.<bit_name>. For example, the CLR bit in the DAC_CFG register is labeled DAC_CFG.CLR.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Overview  
The AFEx8101 feature a 16bit (AFE88101) or 14-bit (AFE78101) string DAC followed by an output voltage  
buffer. The DAC can be configured to support two low PVDD (0.15 V to 1.25 V and 0.2 V to 1 V), or high PVDD  
(0.3 V to 2.5 V and 0.4 V to 2 V) output ranges of operation depending on the PVDD supply voltage and the  
DAC_CFG.RANGE bit in the device configuration register. Using a voltage-to-current converter stage, these  
output voltages can be used to control a 4 mA to 20 mA loop. The narrow range corresponds to a 4-mA to 20-  
mA range. The full range allows for currents under and over the 4-mA to 20-mA range.  
The devices continuously monitor the PVDD supply to provide proper operation based on the DAC range setting.  
7-1 shows the valid supply ranges and corresponding VOUT DAC voltage ranges for the AFEx8101.

7.3.1.1 DAC Resistor String  
7-1 shows that the resistor string structure consists of a series of resistors, each of value R. The code loaded  
to the DAC determines the node on the string at which 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. The  
resistor string architecture has inherent monotonicity, voltage output, and low glitch.

7.3.1.2 DAC Buffer Amplifier  
The VOUT output pin is driven by the DAC output buffer amplifier. The output amplifier default settings are  
designed to drive capacitive loads as high as 100 pF without oscillation. The output buffer is able to source and  
sink 1 mA. The device implements short-circuit protection for momentary output shorts to ground and VDD  
supply. The source and sink short-circuit current thresholds are set to 5 mA.

VOUT =  
× FSR + V  
(1)  
MIN  
N

where  
DAC_CODE is an internal signal and the decimal equivalent of the gain and offset calibrated binary code  
loaded into the DAC_DATA register. DAC_CODE range = 0 to 2N 1.

7.3.1.4 DAC Gain and Offset Calibration  
The AFEx8101 provide DAC gain and offset calibration capability to correct for end-point errors present in the  
system. Implement the gain and offset calibration using two registers, DAC_GAIN.GAIN and  
DAC_OFFSET.OFFSET. Update DAC_DATA register after gain or offset codes are changed for the new values  
to take effect. The DAC_GAIN can be programmed from 0.5 to 1.499985 using 方程2.

7.3.1.5 Programmable Slew Rate  
The slew rate feature controls the rate at which the output voltage or current changes. This feature is disabled by  
default and is enabled by writing a logic 1 to the DAC_CFG.SR_EN bit. With the slew rate control feature  
disabled, the output changes smoothly at a rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached load.  
With this feature enabled, the output does not slew directly between the two values. Instead, the output steps  
digitally at a rate defined by DAC_CFG.SR_STEP[2:0] and DAC_CFG.SR_CLK[2:0]. SR_CLK defines the rate at  
which the digital slew updates. SR_STEP defines the amount by which the output value changes at each  
update. 7.6.1 shows different settings for SR_STEP and SR_CLK.  
The time required for the output to slew is expressed as 方程6:  
Delta Code Change  
Slew Step × Slew Clock Rate  
Slew Time =  
(6)  
where  
Slew Time is expressed in seconds  
Slew Step is controlled by DAC_CFG.SR_STEP  
Slew Clock Rate is controlled by DAC_CFG.SR_CLK  
When the slew-rate control feature is enabled, the output changes at the programmed slew rate. This  
configuration results in a staircase formation at the output. If the clear code is asserted (see 7.3.1.6), the  
output slews to the DAC_CLR_CODE value at the programmed slew rate. When new DAC data are written, the  
output starts slewing to the new value at the slew rate determined by the current DAC code and the new DAC  
data. The update clock frequency for any given value is the same for all output ranges. The step size, however,  
varies across output ranges for a given value of step size because the LSB size is different for each output  
range.  
Two slew-rate control modes are available: linear (default) and sinusoidal. 7-3 and 7-4 show the typical  
rising and falling DAC output waveforms, respectively.

7.3.1.6 DAC Register Structure and CLEAR State  
The AFE88101 DAC has a 16-bit voltage output, and the AFE78101 DAC has a 14-bit voltage output. 7-1  
shows four possible VOUT DAC output ranges. With a voltage-to-current converter stage, the narrow range  
corresponds to a 4-mA to 20-mA range. The full range allows for undercurrents and overcurrents from 3 mA to  
25 mA, and is controlled by DAC_CFG.RANGE.  
The AFEx8101 provide the option to quickly set the DAC output to the value set in the DAC_CLR_CODE register  
without writing to the DAC_DATA register, referred to as the CLEAR state. Setting the DAC to CLEAR state also  
sets the DAC output range according to DAC_CFG.CLR_RANGE. For register details, see 7-15.  
Transitioning from the DAC_DATA to the DAC_CLR_CODE is synchronous to the clock. If slew mode is enabled,  
the output slews during the transition. 7-7 shows the full AFEx8101 DAC_DATA signal path. The devices  
synchronize the DAC_DATA code to the internal clock, causing up to 2.5 internal clock cycles of latency (2 μs)  
with respect to the rising edge of CS or the end of a UBM command. Update DAC_GAIN and DAC_OFFSET  
values when DAC_CFG.SR_EN = 0 to avoid an IRQ pulse generated by SR_BUSY.  
Set the DAC to CLEAR state either by:  
1. Setting DAC_CFG.CLR.  
2. Configuring the DAC to transition to the CLEAR state in response to an alarm condition.  
3. Using the SDI pin in UBM or the SCLR pin in SPI mode as the CLEAR state input pin.  
Method 1 is a direct command to the AFEx8101 to set the DAC to CLEAR state. Set the DAC_CFG.CLR bit to  
1h to set the DAC to CLEAR state.  
Method 2 is controlled by settings of ALARM_ACT register. For details of conditions and other masks required to  
use this method, see 7-24 and 7.3.3.1.  
Method 3 supports setting the DAC to CLEAR state without writing to the AFEx8101. This pin-based DAC  
CLEAR state function is available in SPI mode on the SCLR pin, or in UBM on the SDI pin. The SCLR pin must  
be tied to GND in UBM. For details of connection options based on communication modes and pins used in each  
mode, see 7.5.1. Set the appropriate pin high to drive the DAC to CLEAR state.

7.3.2 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Overview  
The AFEx8101 feature a monitoring system centered on a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC  
and a highly flexible analog multiplexer. The monitoring system is capable of sensing up to two external inputs,  
as well as several internal device signals.  
The ADC uses the VREFIO pin voltage as a reference. The ADC timing signals are derived from an on-chip  
oscillator. The conversion results are accessed through the device serial interface.  
7.3.2.1 ADC Operation  
The device ADC supports direct-mode and auto-mode conversions. Both conversion modes use a custom  
channel sequencer to determine which of the input channels are converted by the ADC. The sequence order is  
fixed. The user selects the start channel and stop channel of the conversion sequence. The conversion method  
and channel sequence are specified in the ADC Configuration registers. The default conversion method is auto-  
mode. 7-8 shows the ADC conversion sequence.

To use the ADC, first enable the ADC buffer by setting ADC_CFG.BUF_PD = 0. Then wait at least 210 μs  
before setting the trigger using the TRIGGER.ADC bit. An internal delay is forced if the trigger signal is sent  
before the timer has expired. Make sure the ADC is not converting before setting the ADC_CFG.BUF_PD = 1. If  
ADC_CFG.BUF_PD is set to 1 while the ADC is still converting, the internal timer delays this command. When  
the timer expires, the enable signal for the ADC is cleared, and the current conversion finishes before powering  
down the ADC and the ADC Buffer.  
A trigger signal must occur for the ADC to exit the idle state. The ADC trigger is generated through the  
TRIGGER.ADC bit. The ADC data registers have the latest available data. Accessing the data registers does not  
interfere with the conversion process, and thus provides continuous ADC operation.  
In direct-mode conversion, the selected ADC input channels are converted on demand by issuing an ADC trigger  
signal. After the last enabled channel is converted, the ADC enters the idle state and waits for a new trigger.  
Read the results of the ADC conversion through the register map. Direct-mode conversion is typically used to  
gather the ADC data of any of the data channels. In direct-mode, use the ADC_BUSY bit to determine when a  
direct-mode conversion is complete and the ADC has returned to the idle state. Direct mode is set by writing  
ADC_CFG.DIRECT_MODE = 1.  
In auto-mode conversion, the selected ADC input channels are converted continuously. The conversion cycle is  
initiated by issuing an ADC trigger. Upon completion of the first conversion sequence, another sequence is  
automatically started. Conversion of the selected channels occurs repeatedly until the auto-mode conversion is  
stopped by clearing the ADC trigger signal. Auto-mode conversion is not typically used to gather the ADC data.  
Instead, auto-mode conversions are used in combination with upper and lower ADC data thresholds to detect  
when the data has exceeded the programmable out-of-range alarm thresholds. Auto mode is set by writing  
ADC_CFG.DIRECT_MODE = 0.  
Regardless of the selected conversion method, update the ADC configuration register only while the ADC is in  
the idle state. Do not change the ADC configuration bits while the ADC is converting channels. Before changing  
configuration bits, disable the ADC and verify that GEN_STATUS.ADC_BUSY = 0.

7.3.2.2 ADC Custom Channel Sequencer  
The device uses a custom channel sequencer to control the multiplexer of the ADC. The ADC sequencer allows  
the user to specify which channels are converted. The sequencer consists of 16 indexed slots with  
programmable start and stop index fields to configure the start and stop conversion points.  
In direct-mode conversion, the ADC converts from the start index to the stop index once and then stops. In auto-  
mode conversion, the ADC converts from the start to stop index repeatedly until the ADC is stopped. 7-9  
shows the indexed custom channel sequence slots available in the device.

Use the ADC_INDEX_CFG register to select the channels. The order of the channels is fixed and shown in 表  
7-5. Then, use ADC_INDEX_CFG.START and ADC_INDEX_CFG.STOP to select the range of indices to  
convert. If these two values are the same, then the ADC only converts a single channel. If the START and STOP  
values are different, then the ADC cycles through the corresponding indices. By default, all channels are  
configured to be converted; START = 0 and STOP = 8. If the AIN1 channel is not configured as an ADC input,  
then the result for this channel is 0x000. The minimum time for a conversion is still allotted to AIN1 if the channel  
is within the START and STOP range. If START is configured to be greater than STOP, then the device interprets  
the conversion sequence as if START = STOP.  
In direct mode, each selected channel in the ADC_INDEX_CFG register is converted once per TRIGGER.ADC  
command. In auto mode, each channel selected in the ADC_INDEX_CFG register is converted once; after the  
last channel, the loop is repeated as long as the ADC is enabled. In auto mode, writing to TRIGGER.ADC = 1  
starts the conversions. Writing TRIGGER.ADC = 0 disables the ADC after the current channel being converted

finishes. In direct mode, writing TRIGGER.ADC = 1 starts the sequence. When the sequence ends, then  
TRIGGER.ADC is self-cleared.  
A minimum of 20 clock cycles is required to perform one conversion. The ADC clock is derived from the internal  
oscillator and divided by 16, which gives an ADC clock frequency of 1.2288 MHz / 16 = 76.8 kHz, for a clock  
period = 13.02 μs.  
Each of the internal nodes has a fixed conversion rate. Pins AIN0 and AIN1 have programmable conversion  
rates (see also the ADC_CFG register). Pins AIN0 and AIN1 also have a configurable range. If PVDD 2.7 V,  
then the input range can be either 0 V to 1.25 V or 0 V to 2.5 V, depending on the ADC_CFG.RANGE bit. If  
PVDD = 1.8 V, then only the 0 V to 1.25 V range is allowed. In this case, the ADC_CFG.RANGE bit is prevented  
from being set.  
If any ADC configuration bits are changed, the following sequence is recommended:  
1. Disable the ADC  
2. Wait for ADC_BUSY to go low  
3. Change the configuration  
4. Restart the conversions  
ADC_BUSY can be monitored in the GEN_STATUS register.  
If the ADC is configured for direct mode (ADC_CFG.DIRECT_MODE = 1), then after setting the desired  
channels to convert, write a 1 to TRIGGER.ADC. This bit is self-cleared when the sequence is finished  
converting. This command converts all the selected channels once. To initiate another conversion of the  
channels, send another TRIGGER.ADC command.  
7.3.2.3 ADC Synchronization  
The trigger signal must be generated for the ADC to exit the idle state and start conversions. The ADC trigger is  
generated through the TRIGGER.ADC bit. The ADC data registers have the latest available data. Accessing the  
data registers does not interfere with the conversion process, and thus provides continuous ADC operation.  
In direct-mode, use the GEN_STATUS.ADC_BUSY bit to determine when a direct-mode conversion is complete,  
and the ADC has returned to the idle state. Similarly, monitor the TRIGGER.ADC bit to see if the ADC has  
returned to the idle state.  
7.3.2.4 ADC Offset Calibration  
Channel 0 of the CCS pointer is named OFFSET. The OFFSET channel is used to calibrate and improve the  
ADC offset performance. Convert the OFFSET channel, and use the result as a calibration for the ADC offset in  
subsequent measurements.  
This ADC channel samples VREF / 2 and compares this result against 7FFh as a measure of the ADC offset.  
The data rate for the ADC measuring this channel is 2560 Hz. The ADC conversion for the OFFSET channel is  
subtracted from 7FFh and the resulting value is stored in ADC_OFFSET (28h). The offset can be positive or  
negative; therefore, the value is stored in 2s complement notation.  
With the subtraction from 7FFh, ADC_OFFSET is the negative of the offset. This value is subtracted from  
conversions of the ADC by default. For direct measurements of the ADC, set ADC_BYP.OFST_BYP_EN to 1 to  
enable the offset bypass.

7.3.2.5 External Monitoring Inputs  
The AFEx8101 have two analog inputs for external voltage sensing. Channels 1 and 2 for the CCS pointer are  
for external monitoring inputs that can be measured by pins AIN0 and AIN1, respectively. The input range for the  
analog inputs is configurable to either 0 V to 1.25 V or 0 V to 2.5 V. The analog inputs conversion values are  
stored in straight binary format in the ADC registers. The ADC resolution can be computed by 方程7:

For these external monitoring inputs, the ADC is configurable for both data rate and voltage range. The data rate  
is set to either 640 Hz, 1280 Hz, 2560 Hz, or 3840 Hz with the ADC_CFG.CONV_RATE bits. The range of the  
ADC measurement is set with the ADC_CFG.AIN_RANGE bit. The ADC range is 2 × VREF when the bit = 0; the  
ADC range is VREF when the bit = 1. ADC_CFG.AIN_RANGE only controls the range if PVDD > 2.7 V. When  
PVDD = 1.8 V, the range is VREF regardless of the setting.  
When the ADC conversion is completed for AIN0 and AIN1, the resulting ADC data are stored in the  
ADC_AIN0.DATA and ADC_AIN1.DATA bits at 24h and 25h of the register map.  
If the external monitoring inputs are not used, connect the AIN0 and AIN1 pins to GND through a 1-kΩresistor.

7.3.2.6 Temperature Sensor  
Channel 3 of the CCS is used to measure the die temperature of the device. The ADC measures an internal  
temperature sensor that measures a voltage complementary to the absolute temperature (CTAT). This CTAT  
voltage has a negative temperature coefficient. The ADC converts this voltage at a data rate of 2560 Hz. When  
the ADC conversion is completed, the data are found in the ADC_TEMP.DATA bits (address 26h).  
The relationship between the ambient temperature and the ADC code is shown in 方程8:  
ADC Code = 2681 11 × T °C  
(8)  
A
7.3.2.7 Self-Diagnostic Multiplexer  
In addition to the ADC offset, the two external monitoring inputs, and the temperature sensor, the ADC of the  
AFEx8101 has five other internal inputs to monitor the reference voltage, the power supplies, a static voltage,  
and the DAC output. These five voltages measurements are part of the self-diagnostic multiplexer (SD0 to SD4)  
measurements of the ADC, and are reported in the ADC_SD_MUX register at 27h; see also 7.6.  
Channel 4 (SD0) measures the reference voltage of the device. The ADC measures the reference voltage  
through a resistor divider (divide by two). Be aware that all ADC measurements are a function of the reference;  
using SD0 to measure the reference is not revealing as a diagnostic measurement. The data rate for this  
conversion is 2560 Hz and the range of the ADC is set to VREF.  
Channel 5 (SD1) measures the PVDD power supply of the device. The ADC measures the PVDD voltage  
through a resistor divider (divide by six). The data rate for this conversion is 2560 Hz and the range of the ADC  
is set to VREF.  
Channel 6 (SD2) measures the VDD power supply of the device. When channel 6 is selected, the ADC  
measures the VDD voltage through a resistor divider (divide by 2). The data rate for this conversion is 2560 Hz  
and the range of the ADC is set to VREF.  
Channel 7 (SD3) is a ZTAT (zero temperature coefficient) voltage. This internal voltage is nominally 0.6 V with a  
low temperature drift and does not depend on the reference voltage. An ADC measurement of ZTAT voltage can  
be useful to determine the state of the reference voltage. The data rate for this conversion is 2560 Hz and the  
range of the ADC is set to VREF.  
Channel 8 (SD4) measures the VOUT of the DAC. The ADC measures the VOUT voltage through a resistor  
divider (divide by two). The data rate for this conversion is 2560 Hz.  
The input range for the DAC voltage monitoring input is scaled from either 0-V to 2.5-V or 0-V to 1.25-V,  
depending on PVDD voltage. As soon as the PVDD voltage exceeds 2.7 V, the input range for the DAC voltage  
monitoring automatically switches to the 0-V to 2.5-V range. The DAC voltage conversion values are stored in  
straight-binary format in the ADC registers. The ADC resolution for these channels is computed by 方程7.

7.3.2.8 ADC Bypass  
To test the offset, modify the ADC data path by programming the bypass data register, ADC_BYP.DATA (2Eh).  
This read/write register is used in two different ways.  
First, this bypass data register is used as a substitute for the ADC_OFFSET by setting the  
ADC_BYP.OFST_BYP_EN to 1.  
Second, the ADC_BYP.DATA is used as the readback register for the data for the different settings of the custom  
channel sequencer. The data are replaced by setting the ADC_BYP.DATA_BYP_EN bit. When this bit is set to 1,  
the ADC conversion is bypassed, and the value of ADC_BYP.DATA is used in the readback channel. This setting  
is used to test the alarm settings of the ADC.  
When the ADC bypass is unused, set the ADC_BYP.DATA to 000h.

7.3.3 Programmable Out-of-Range Alarms  
The AFEx8101 are capable of continuously analyzing the supplies, external ADC inputs, DAC output voltage,  
reference, internal temperature, and other internal signals for normal operation.  
Normal operation for the conversion results is established through the lower- and upper-threshold registers.  
When any of the monitored inputs are out of the specified range, the corresponding alarm bit in the alarm status  
registers is set.  
The alarm bits in the alarm status registers are latched. The alarm bits are referred to as being latched because  
the alarm bits remain set until read by software. This design makes sure that out-of-limit events cannot be  
missed if the software is polling the device periodically. All bits are cleared when reading the alarm status  
registers, and all bits are reasserted if the out-of limit condition still exists on the next monitoring cycle.  
All of the alarms can be set to activate the ALARM pin. The ALARM pin works as an interrupt to the host so that  
the host can query the alarm status registers to determine the alarm source. Any alarm event activates the pin  
as long as the alarm is not masked in the ALARM_STATUS_MASK register. When an alarm event is masked,  
the occurrence of the event sets the corresponding status bit in the alarm status registers, but does not activate  
the ALARM pin.  
In addition, 7.3.3.1 describes how the alarm action can be individually configured for each alarm. When the  
alarm event is cleared, the DAC is reloaded with the contents of the DAC active registers, which allows the DAC  
outputs to return to the previous operating point without any additional commands.

7.3.3.1 Alarm Action Configuration Register  
The AFEx8101 implements an alarm action configuration register (ALARM_ACT, 7-24). Writing to this register  
selects the action that the device automatically takes in case of a specific alarm condition. The ALARM_ACT  
register determines how the main DAC responds to an alarm event from conversion on self-diagnostics  
channels, AIN0, AIN1, and TEMP, as well as a CRC and WDT fault, a VREF fault, a TEMP_HI fault, and a  
TEMP_LO fault. Only these faults can cause a response by the DAC. Other alarm status events can trigger the  
ALARM pin. There are four options for alarm action. In case different settings are chosen for different alarm  
conditions, the following (low-to-high) priority is considered when taking action:  
0. No action  
1. DAC CLEAR state  
2. VOUT alarm voltage  
3. VOUT Hi-Z  
If the alarm event occurs and option 1 is selected, then the DAC is forced to the clear code and clear range. This  
operation is done by controlling the input code to the DAC and the range of the DAC.  
If the alarm event occurs and option 2 is selected, then VOUT is forced to the alarm voltage. The alarm voltage  
is controlled by either pin or register bit. If SPECIAL_CFG.AIN1_ENB = 0, then the AIN1 pin controls alarm  
polarity. Also, register bit SPECIAL_CFG.ALMV_POL can be used. If either of these signals = 1, then the alarm  
voltage is high; otherwise, the alarm voltage is low. The SPECIAL_CFG register is only reset with POR, so the  
user setting remains intact through hardware or software resets.  
If the alarm event occurs and option 3 is selected, then the VOUT buffer is put into Hi-Z.  
If multiple events occur, then the highest setting takes precedence. Option 3 has the highest priority.

7.3.3.2 Alarm Voltage Generator  
7-12 shows that the alarm voltage is generated independently from the DAC output voltage. The alarm  
polarity control logic selects the output level of the alarm voltage generator. The alarm action control logic selects  
between the DAC output and alarm voltage generator output voltages. The alarm action control logic also  
controls the output buffer Hi-Z switch.

7-12. Alarm Voltage Generator Architecture  
During normal operation, the expected VOUT voltage depends on the DAC_CODE. The ADC thresholds for the  
SD4 (VOUT) diagnostic channel are set around the programmed DAC_CODE. During the alarm condition, if the  
alarm action changes the VOUT voltage to the alarm voltage, or switches the VOUT buffer into Hi-Z mode, the  
VOUT voltage no longer depends on the DAC_CODE. In this case, the SD4 (VOUT) diagnostic channel also  
reports the alarm. To clear this alarm, as long as all other alarm conditions are cleared, set the alarm action to  
either no action or to the DAC clear code. Applying either alarm action sets the VOUT voltage within the  
expected ADC thresholds and clears the alarm after the next ADC measurement of the SD4 (VOUT) channel.  
Give special consideration to the alarm logic during the transient events. When the new DAC_CODE goes  
beyond the SD4 (VOUT) alarm thresholds with the ADC monitoring the SD4 (VOUT) input in auto mode, the  
ADC conversion can occur while VOUT settles to a new value. This conversion can trigger a false alarm. There  
are two ways to prevent this false alarm:  
1. Use direct mode and allow VOUT to settle before triggering the next ADC conversion.  
2. Set ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT > 0. With this configuration, a single error in SD4 or any other measurement does  
not cause an alarm condition to be asserted.  
7.3.3.3 Temperature Sensor Alarm Function  
The AFEx8101 continuously monitor the internal die temperature. In addition to the ADC measurement, the  
temperature sensor triggers a comparator to show a thermal warning and a thermal error. A thermal warning  
alarm is set when the temperature exceeds 85°C. Additionally, a thermal error alarm is set when the die  
temperature exceeds 130°C.  
The thermal warning and thermal error alarms can be configured to set the ALARM pin and are indicated in the  
ALARM_STATUS register. These alarms can be masked with the ALARM_MASK register and also be  
configured to control the DAC output with the ALARM_ACT register.  
7.3.3.4 Internal Reference Alarm Function  
The devices provide out-of-range detection for the reference voltage. When the reference voltage exceeds ±5%  
of the nominal value, the reference alarm flag (VREF_FLT bit) is set. Make sure that a reference alarm condition  
has not been issued by the device before powering up the DAC output.

An alarm event is only registered when the monitored signal is out of range for N number of consecutive  
conversions, where N is configured in the ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT false alarm register settings. If the monitored  
signal returns to the normal range before N consecutive conversions, an alarm event is not issued.  
If an ADC input signal is out of range and the alarm is enabled, then the corresponding alarm bit is set to 1.  
However, the alarm condition is cleared only when the conversion result returns to a value less than the high-  
limit register setting and greater than the low-limit register setting by the number of codes specified by the  
hysteresis setting (see 7-14). The hysteresis is a programmable value between 0 LSB to 127 LSB in the  
ADC_CFG.HYST register.

7.3.3.6 Fault Detection  
There are two fields within the ADC_CFG register: FLT_CNT and HYST. These fields are applied to the  
assertion and deassertion of alarm conditions for all the ADC channels.  
ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT determines the number of consecutive failures needed to trip an alarm condition. For  
example, if ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT is set for three counts, then three consecutive conversions must be outside of  
the thresholds. Each failure counts towards the FLT_CNT limit even if the failures alternate between high  
threshold and low threshold.  
ADC_CFG.HYST sets the hysteresis used by the alarm-detection circuit. After an alarm is triggered, the  
hysteresis is applied before the alarm condition is released. In the case of the high threshold, the hysteresis is  
subtracted from the threshold value. In the case of the low threshold limit, the hysteresis is added to the  
threshold value.  
Channels AIN0, AIN1, and TEMP have high and low thresholds associated with them. If a conversion value falls  
outside of these limits (that is, if TEMP < low threshold or TEMP > high threshold), an alarm condition for that  
channel is set. The alarms are disabled by setting 0x000 for the low threshold and 0xFFF for the high threshold,  
respectively. These alarms are disabled by default. Because the configuration fields for the thresholds are only  
eight bits wide, the four LSBs are hardcoded for each threshold. The high thresholds four LSBs are hardcoded to  
0xF, and the low thresholds four LSBs are hardcoded to 0x0.  
All the self diagnostic (SD) channels have fixed thresholds, except SD4, which measures the VOUT of the main  
DAC. The threshold for SD4 tracks the VOUT with respect to the DAC code. 7-7 shows the calculations used  
to determine the high and low ADC thresholds for each SD channel. The limits in the two right-most columns are  
determined by the threshold columns to the left and given some margin. The four LSBs are assigned as  
described previously.

7.3.4 IRQ  
The devices include an interrupt request (IRQ) to communicate the occurrence of a variety of events to the host  
controller. The IRQ block initiates interrupts that are reported internally in a status register, externally on the IRQ  
pin if the function is enabled, or on the ALARM pin if the condition is from the ALARM_STATUS register. 7-15

7-15. IRQ Block Diagram  
There are two registers that can generate interrupts: GEN_STATUS and ALARM_STATUS. Each of these  
registers has a corresponding STATUS_MASK register. The mask register controls which of the events trigger  
an interrupt. Writing a 1 in the mask register masks, or disables, the event from triggering an interrupt. Writing a  
0 in the mask register allows the event to trigger an IRQ. All bits are masked by default. Some status bits are  
sticky. Reading the corresponding register clears a sticky bit, unless the condition still exists.  
The IRQ is configured through CONFIG.IRQ_LVL to be edge- or level-sensitive. Set this bit to logic 1 to enable  
level-sensitive functionality (default). In edge-sensitive mode, the IRQ signal is a synchronous pulse, one internal  
clock period wide (813 ns). In level-sensitive mode, the IRQ is set and remains set as long as the condition  
exists. After the IRQ condition is removed, the condition is cleared by reading the corresponding status register.  
Trying to clear the bit while the condition still exists does not allow the bit to be cleared if the bit is sticky.  
CONFIG.IRQ_POL determines the active level of the IRQ. A logic 1 configures IRQ to be active high.  
When using edge-sensitive IRQ signals, there is a clock cycle delay for synchronization and edge detection.  
With a 307.2-kHz clock, this delay is up to 3.26 μs. For level-sensitive mode, the delay is approximately 10 ns to  
20 ns.  
Most status bits have two versions within the design. The first version is an edge event that is created when the  
status is asserted. This signal is used to generate edge-sensitive IRQs. This edge detection prevents multiple  
status events from blocking one another. The second version is the sticky version of the status bit. This signal is  
set upon assertion of the status bit and cleared when the corresponding status register is read, as long as the  
status condition does not still persist. Signals GEN_IRQ and ALARM_IRQ are driven by the logical OR of the of  
the status bits within the corresponding register.  
If a status bit is unmasked and the sticky version of that bit has been asserted, and the IRQ is level-sensitive,  
then an interrupt is triggered as soon as the bit is unmasked. If the IRQ is edge-sensitive then a status event  
must occur after the bit has been unmasked to assert an interrupt.

7.3.5 Internal Reference  
The AFEx8101 family of devices includes a 1.25-V precision band-gap reference. The internal reference is  
externally available at the VREFIO pin and sources up to 2.5 mA. For noise filtering, use a 100-nF capacitor  
between the reference output and GND.  
The internal reference circuit is enabled or disabled by using the REF_EN pin. A logic high on this pin enables  
the internal reference, and the VREFIO pin outputs 1.25 V. A logic low on this pin disables the internal reference,  
and the device expects to have 1.25 V from external VREF at the VREFIO pin.  
An invalid reference voltage asserts an alarm condition. The DAC response depends on the VREF_FLT setting  
in the ALARM_ACT register (10h).  
7.3.6 Integrated Precision Oscillator  
The internal time base of the device is provided by an internal oscillator that is trimmed to less than 0.5%  
tolerance at room temperature. The precision oscillator is the timing source for ADC conversions. At power up,  
the internal oscillator and ADC take roughly 300 µs to reach < 1% error stability. After the clock stabilizes, the  
ADC data output is accurate to the electrical specifications provided in 6.  
7.3.7 One-Time Programmable (OTP) Memory  
One-time programmable (OTP) memory in the device is used to store the device trim settings and is not  
accessible to users. The OTP memory data are loaded to the memory at power up. The OTP memory CRC is  
performed to verify the correct data are loaded. The TRIGGER.SHADOWLOAD bit is available to initiate a  
reload of the OTP memory data if a CRC error is detected. The SPECIAL_CFG.OTP_LOAD_SW_RST bit  
controls whether the OTP memory data are reloaded with a software reset.

7.4 Device Functional Modes  
7.4.1 DAC Power-Down Mode  
Power-down mode facilitates rapid turn-off of the voltage at the DAC output. The DAC can be set to enter and  
exit power-down mode through hardware, software, or automatically in response to an alarm event. The DAC  
output is specified for glitch-free performance when going into and out of power-down mode.  
Power-down mode is also be enabled by setting DAC_CFG.PD to 1. In power-down mode, the DAC output  
amplifier powers down and the DAC output pin is put into the Hi-Z configuration. The DAC output remains in  
power-down mode until the DAC output is re-enabled.  
Alarm control of the power-down mode is enabled by setting the alarm events as DAC power-down sources. The  
alarm events that trigger the DAC output power-down state must be specified in the ALARM_ACT register. After  
the alarm bit is cleared, the DAC returns to normal operation, as long as no other power-down controlling alarm  
event has been triggered.  
The DAC register does not change when the DAC enters power-down mode, which enables the device to return  
to the original operating point after return from the power-down mode. Additionally, the DAC register can be  
updated while the DAC is in power-down mode, thus allowing the DAC to output a new value upon return to  
normal operation.  
7.4.2 Reset  
There are three reset mechanisms in the device: a power-on reset (POR), a RESET pin, and the SW_RST  
command that can be sent through the either the SPI or by UBM.  
When power is first applied to the device, a POR circuit holds the device in reset until all supplies reach the  
specified operating voltages. The power-on reset returns the device to a known operating state in case a  
brownout event occurs (when the supplies have dipped below the minimum operating voltages). The POR starts  
all digital circuits in reset as the supply settles, and releases them to make sure that the device starts in the  
default condition and loads the OTP memory. After the OTP memory has been loaded, the ALARM pin is  
released. At this time, communication with the device is safe. This tPOR time is less than 100 µs.  
The devices also have a RESET pin that is used as a hardware reset to the device. Send the RESET pin low for  
a minimum of 100 ns (tRESET) to reset the device. A delay time of 10 μs (tRESETWAIT) is required before sending  
the first serial interface command as the device latches and releases the reset. The release of the internal reset  
state is synchronized to the internal clock. The RESET pin resets the SPI and the UART interfaces, the  
watchdog timer, the internal oscillator, and the device registers. RESET does not reload the OTP memory.  
The command to RESET.SW_RST = 0xAD resets the device as a software reset. The command is decoded at  
the rising edge of CS with an SPI command or during the stop bit of the last character of a UBM frame. Set  
UBM.REG_MODE again to put the device back into UBM when resetting the device in UBM. After sending the  
RESET command, no delay time is required before sending the first serial interface command as the device  
latches and releases the reset. The reset is synchronized to the falling edge of the internal clock and is released  
well before the next rising edge. The ALARM pin pulses low for the width of the internal reset. This pulse  
duration is less than 20 ns. This command resets the SPI and the UART interface, and the watchdog timer, but  
does not reset the internal oscillator. The software reset also reloads internal factory trim registers if properly  
configured in the SPECIAL_CFG register. The SPECIAL_CFG register is only reset with a POR.  
The POR and hardware reset place the internal oscillator into a reset condition, which holds the clock low. When  
these two signals are released, there is a delay of a few microseconds before the first rising edge of the clock.  
The hardware reset, RESET, pulse width must be at least 100 ns to allow the oscillator to properly reset. The  
SW_RST command is a short pulse. This pulse is not long enough to adequately reset the oscillator. The  
SW_RST is asserted with a falling edge of the clock. As a result of the long oscillator period, the design  
architecture provides that all devices are out of reset by the next rising edge.  
7-16 shows the reset tree.

7.5 Programming  
The AFEx8101 communicate with the system controller through a serial interface that supports either a UART-  
compatible two-wire bus or an SPI-compatible bus. Based on the hardware configuration, either interface can be  
enabled. 7-17 and 7-18 show the configurations to enable SPI mode and UART break mode (UBM),  
respectively. The SPI supports an 8-bit frame-by-frame CRC that is enabled by default, but can be disabled by  
the user. UBM does not support CRC, but does support the UART protocol parity bit.  
7.5.1 Communication Setup  
After any reset or power up, the AFEx8101 wake up able to use the SPI or UART break mode (UBM). The  
devices include a robust mechanism that configures the interface between either an SPI-compatible or UART-  
compatible protocol based system, thus preventing protocol change during normal operation. The selection is  
based on initial conditions from the respective hardware configurations (see 7-17 and 7-18) and any  
subsequent user configuration.  
7.5.1.1 SPI Mode  
By default, the AFEx8101 can be fully accessed with the SPI (except UBM.REG_MODE). To set up the device in  
SPI mode:  
1. Set CONFIG.UART_DIS = 1 (disables the UART communication).  
2. Optionally, set CONFIG.DSDO, CONFIG.FSDO, CONFIG.CLR_PIN_EN, and CONFIG.IRQ_PIN_EN. For  
details, see 7-14.

7-17 shows the SPI mode logical connections (through the isolation barrier, if used) for both minimum  
functionality (all optional pins disconnected) and maximum functionality (all pins connected). If  
CONFIG.IRQ_PIN_EN = 1 is set, then the UARTOUT pin functions as the IRQ output. In SPI mode, set  
CONFIG.SDO_DSDO = 0 to enable the readback function. This function is disabled by default to save power. If  
the readback function not enabled, SDO remains in Hi-Z mode even during the subsequent frame after a read  
request.  
7.5.1.2 UART Mode  
At power up, the UART interface is set to 9600 baud with UBM enabled. Any reset clears the UBM register, and  
the register must be set again to use UBM. To set up the device in UBM:  
1. Using UBM, set UBM.REG_MODE = 1 at 9600 baud. This setting blocks the SPI from accessing the device  
and enables the UART interface access to the entire register map.  
2. Optionally, set CONFIG.CLR_PIN_EN and CONFIG.IRQ_PIN_EN (See 7-14 for details).  
7-18 shows the UBM logical connections (through the isolation barrier, if used) for both minimum functionality

7-18. UBM (UART Interface) Connections  
7.5.2 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)  
The AFEx8101 are controlled over a versatile four-wire serial interface (SDIN, SDO, SCLK, and CS). The  
interface operates at clock rates of up to 12.5 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and digital  
signal processing (DSP) standards. The SPI communication command consists of a read or write address, a  
data word, and an optional CRC byte.  
The SPI can access all register addresses except for the UBM register. Read-only and read-write capability is  
defined by register (see 7-10). The SPI supports both SPI Mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) and SPI Mode 2  
(CPOL = 1, CPHA = 0). The default SCLK value is low for SPI Mode 1 and high for SPI Mode 2. See 6.7 for  
timing diagrams in each mode. The serial clock, SCLK, can be continuous or gated.  
7.5.2.1 SPI Frame Definition  
Subject to the timing requirements listed in the Timing Requirements, the first SCLK falling edge immediately  
following the falling edge of CS captures the first frame bit. Subject to the same requirements, the last SCLK  
falling edge before the rising edge of CS captures the last bit of the frame. 7-19 shows that the SPI shift  
register frame is 32-bits wide, and consists of an R/W bit, followed by a 7-bit address, and a 16-bit data word.  
The 8-bit CRC is optional (enabled by default) and is disabled by setting CONFIG.CRC_EN = 0 (see also 节  
7.5.2.3). 7-20 shows that when the CRC is disabled, the frame is 24-bits wide.

7-20. SPI Frame Details (CRC Disabled)  
For a valid frame, a full frame length of data (24 bits if CRC is disabled or 32 bits if CRC is enabled) must be  
transmitted before CS is brought high. If CS is brought high before the last falling SCLK edge of a full frame,  
then the data word is not transferred into the internal registers. If more than a full frame length of falling SCLK  
edges are applied before CS is brought high, then the last full frame length number of bits are used. In other  
words, if the number of falling SCLK edges while CS = 0 is 34, then the last 32 SCLK cycles (or 24 if CRC is  
disabled) are treated as the valid frame. The device internal registers are updated from the SPI shift register on  
the rising edge of CS. To start another serial transfer, bring CS low again. When CS is high, the SCLK and SDI  
signals are blocked and the SDO pin is high impedance.  
7.5.2.2 SPI Read and Write  
The SDI input bit is latched on the SCLK falling edge. The SDI pin receives right-justified data. At the rising edge  
of CS, the right-most (last) bits are evaluated as a frame. Extra clock cycles (exceeding frame length) during the  
frame begin to output on SDO the SDI data delayed by one frame length.  
A read operation is started when R/W bit is 1. The data word input for SDI is ignored in the read command  
frame. Send the subsequent read or write command frame into SDI to clock out the data of the addressed  
register on SDO. If no other read or write commands are needed, then issue a NOP command to retrieve the  
requested data. The read register value is output most significant bit first on SDO on successive edges (rising or  
falling based on CONFIG.FSDO setting) of SCLK.  
A write operation starts when R/W bit is 0. The SDO output to a write command, delivered in the next frame,  
contains status bits, data described in 7-8, and if the CRC is enabled, an 8-bit CRC for the output frame.

Valid SDO output is driven only when CS = 0 and CONFIG.DSDO = 0; otherwise, the SDO pin remains Hi-Z to  
save power. The SDO data bits are left-justified within the frame, meaning the most significant bit is produced on  
the line (subject to timing details) when CS is asserted low (bit is driven by falling edge of CS). The subsequent  
bits in the frame are driven by the rising SCLK edge when CONFIG.FSDO = 0 (default). To drive the SDO data  
on the falling edge of SCLK, set CONFIG.FSDO = 1. This setting effectively gives the SDO data an additional ½  
clock period for setup time, but at the expense of hold time.  
The frame output on SDO contains the command bit of the input that generated the frame (previous input frame),  
followed by seven status bits (see 7-19). When an input frame CRC error is detected, the status bit  
CRC_ERR = 1. If there is no input frame CRC error, then CRC_ERR = 0. See 7-9 for details.  
7.5.2.3 Frame Error Checking  
If the AFEx8101 are used in a noisy environment, use the CRC to check the integrity of the SPI data  
communication between the device and the system controller. This feature is enabled by default and is

controlled by the CONFIG.CRC_EN bit. If the CRC is not required in the system, disable frame error checking  
through the CRC_EN bit, and switch from the default 32-bit frame to the 24-bit frame.  
Frame error checking is based on the CRC-8-ATM (HEC) polynomial: x8 + x2 + x + 1 (9'b100000111).  
For the output register readback, the AFEx8101 supply the calculated 8-bit CRC for the 24 bits of data provided,  
as part of the 32-bit frame.  
The AFEx8101 decodes 24-bits of the input frame data and the 8-bit CRC to compute the CRC remainder. If no  
error exists in the frame, the CRC remainder is zero. When the remainder is nonzero (that is, the input frame has  
single-bit or multiple-bit errors) the ALARM_STATUS.CRC_ERR_CNT bits are incremented. A bad CRC value  
prevents execution of commands to the device.  
When the CRC error counter reaches the limit programmed in CONFIG.CRC_ERR_CNT, the CRC_FLT status  
bit is set in the ALARM_STATUS register. The fault is reported (as long as the corresponding mask is not set) as  
an ALARM_IRQ on SDO during the next frame. The ALARM pin asserts low if enabled by the alarm action  
configuration (see 7.3.3.1).  
The CRC_ERR status bit (see 7-19) in the SDO frame is not sticky and is only reported for the previous  
frame. The ALARM_STATUS.CRC_FLT bit is sticky and is only cleared after a successful read of the  
ALARM_STATUS register. Read the GEN_STATUS or ALARM_STATUS registers to clear any sticky bits that are  
set.  
The sticky status bits are cleared at the start of the readback frame and are latched again at the end of the  
readback frame. Therefore, if the fault condition previously reported in the status register is no longer present at  
the end of the readback frame, and the data are received by the microcontroller with the CRC error, the fault  
information is lost. If a robust monitoring of the status bits is required in a noisy environment, use the IRQ pin in  
combination with the status mask bits to find out the status of each fault before clearing the status bits. Set the  
CONFIG.IRQ_LVL bit to monitor the signal level on the IRQ pin, and unmask each status bit one at a time to  
retrieve the information from the status registers.  
7.5.2.4 Synchronization  
The AFEx8101 register map runs on the internal clock domain. Both the SPI and UBM packets are synchronized  
to this domain. This synchronization adds a latency of 0.4 µs to 1.22 µs (1.5 internal clocks), with respect to the  
rising edge of CS or the STOP bit of the last byte of the UBM packet.  
The effect of clock synchronization on UBM communication is not evident because of the lower speed and  
asynchronous nature of UBM communication.  
In SPI mode, if changing register bits CONFIG.DSDO, CONFIG.FSDO, or CONFIG.CRC_EN, keep CS high for  
at least two clock cycles before issuing the next frame. Frame data corruption can occur if the two extra cycles  
are not used. The following are examples of frame corruption:  
Setting CONFIG.DSDO = 0: SDO begins to drive in the middle of the next frame.  
Changing CONFIG.FSDO: The launching edge of SDO changes in the middle of the next frame.  
Setting CONFIG.CRC_EN = 1: The next frame has a CRC error because the CRC is enabled in the middle of  
the frame.  
Send a NOP command (SDI = 0x00_0000) after setting the DSDO, FSDO, and CRC_EN bits to prevent the  
corrupted frames from impacting communication. Sending a NOP after CONFIG.CRC_EN is set still generates a  
CRC error, and is reported in the STATUS portion of SDO. To avoid false errors, wait approximately 2 µs after  
setting CONFIG.CRC_EN before sending the next frame.

7.5.3 UART  
In UART mode, the device expects 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 odd parity bit, and 1 stop bit, or an 8O1 UART  
character format.  
7.5.3.1 UART Break Mode (UBM)  
In UART break mode (UBM), the microcontroller issues a UART break to start communication. The device  
interprets the UART break as the start to receive commands from the UART. A communication UART character  
consists of one start bit, eight data bits, one odd parity bit, and at least one stop bit. A UART break character is  
all 11 bits (including start, data, parity and stop bit) held low by the microcontroller on the UARTIN pin and by the  
AFEx8101 on the UARTOUT pin. When a valid break character is detected on UARTIN by the AFEx8101, no  
parity (even though parity is odd) or stop bit errors are flagged for this character. The parity and stop bit  
differences between valid UBM break and communication characters must be managed by the system  
microcontroller when receiving these characters from the UARTOUT pin of the AFEx8101. See 6-2 for UBM  
break character, communication timing details, and bit order.  
AFEx8101 UART break mode communication is supported at 9600 baud.  
Set UBM.REG_MODE = 1 to enable register map access through the UART. By default, this bit is set to 0. The  
entire register map can only be accessed with SPI, except for the UBM register. The UBM register can only be  
accessed with UBM. After UBM.REG_MODE is set to 1, the SPI does not have access to the register map, and  
the full register map is accessible by UBM.  
A UBM data output packet is initiated by AFEx8101 on UARTOUT in two cases. See 7-23 for packet structure  
details. If the R/IRQn status bit is 0 an IRQ event initiated the break command. If the R/IRQn status bit is 1, the  
break command is a response to the prior read request.  
To enable IRQ events, set CONFIG.UBM_IRQ_EN = 1. When IRQ is enabled, the AFEx8101 triggers a break  
command followed by data on UARTOUT (see 7-23).  
The contents of the data are listed in order of priority below.  
1. If ALARM_IRQ bit is set, then the contents of the ALARM_STATUS register are output.  
2. If GEN_IRQ is set, then the contents of the GEN_STATUS register are output.  
3. If none of the previous bits are set, then an IRQ is not generated.  
A break byte is followed by three bytes. These three bytes have information identical to the SPI frame without  
the CRC (see 7-20). The CRC cannot be enabled for UBM. All communication characters on the UART bus  
are transmitted least significant data bit (D0) first.

read command.

7.5.4 Status Bits  
Every response, in SPI mode and UBM, from the AFEx8101 includes a set of status bits. For SPI mode bit order,

Also see 7.4.2.  
(1) ALARM_STATUS, and GEN_STATUS registers contain cross-readable IRQ flags for the other register. The ALARM_STATUS register  
has the GEN_IRQ bit. GEN_STATUS has the ALARM_IRQ bit. This functionality enables the system microcontroller to always get full  
status information by reading only one register, and thus save power.  
7.5.5 Watchdog Timer  
The AFEx8101 include a watchdog timer (WDT) that is used to make sure that communication between the  
system controller and the device is not lost. The WDT checks that the device received a communication from the  
system controller within a programmable period of time. To enable this feature, set WDT.WDT_EN to 1. The  
WDT monitors both SPI and UBM communications.  
The WDT has two limit fields: WDT.WDT_UP and WDT.WDT_LO. The WDT_UP field sets the upper time limit  
for the WDT. The WDT_LO field sets the lower time limit. If the WDT_LO is set to a value other than 2b00,  
then the WDT acts as a window comparator. If the write occurs too quickly (less than the WDT_LO time), or too  
slowly (greater than the WDT_UP time), then a WDT error is asserted. When acting as a window comparator, in  
the event of a WDT error, the WDT resets only when a write to the WDT register occurs. If the WDT_LO is set to  
2'b00, then a write to any register resets the WDT time counter. In this mode, the WDT error is asserted when  
the timer expires.  
If enabled, the chip must have any SPI or UBM write to the device within the programmed timeout window.  
Otherwise, the ALARM pin asserts low, and the ALARM_STATUS.WD_FLT bit is set to 1. The WD_FLT bit is  
sticky. After a WD_FLT has been asserted, WDT.WDT_EN must be set to 0 to clear the WDT condition. Then the  
WDT can be re-enabled. The WDT condition is also cleared by issuing a software or hardware reset. After the  
WDT condition is clear, WD_FLT is cleared by reading the ALARM_STATUS register.  
The watchdog timeout period is based on a 1200-Hz clock (1.2288 MHz / 1024).

8 Application and Implementation  
备注  
以下应用部分中的信息不属TI 器件规格的范围TI 不担保其准确性和完整性。TI 的客 户应负责确定  
器件是否适用于其应用。客户应验证并测试其设计以确保系统功能。  
8.1 Application Information  
The AFEx8101 are extremely low-power 16-bit and 14-bit voltage output DACs. The DACs support a low output  
range of 0.15 V to 1.25 V or a high output range of 0.3 V to 2.5 V. These devices have an onboard oscillator and  
an optional precision internal reference. Use these output values with a voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter  
stage for 4-mA to 20-mA, loop-powered applications. These devices also feature a SAR ADC that is used to  
measure internal and external nodes for making diagnostic measurements with fault detection and alarm actions.  
Use these diagnostic measurements together with the CRC and watchdog timer monitoring for device and  
system monitoring for functional safety.  
The AFEx8101 can operate using extremely low power with 1.8-V supplies. For low-voltage operation, use  
PVDD with a 1.8-V nominal supply and an operating range of 1.71 V to 1.89 V. Run the digital interface supply,  
IOVDD, from 1.71 V to 5.5 V. During low-voltage operation, the VDD LDO is automatically disabled and VDD is  
tied to PVDD. Low-voltage operation allows for both lower power for field transmitter applications and better  
voltage compliance when there are high resistances in the loop.  
With higher-supply operation, the PVDD has an operating range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. With this range of operation,  
the VDD is powered from an onboard LDO.  
8.1.1 Multichannel Configuration  
Because CS low is required for communication and SDO can be set to a tri-state condition, only individual CS  
signals are required from the microcontroller for all the AFEx8101 devices in the system. The SDI, SDO, and  
SCLK signals can be combined. All the individual ALARM pins can be wired-OR together. This minimizes the  
number of microcontroller GPIO signals required for communication, as well as the number of isolation channels  
for isolated systems. The multichannel configuration block diagram is shown in 8-1.

8.2 Typical Application  
This design example shows a loop-powered, 4-mA to 20-mA field transmitter featuring the AFE88101. The  
AFE78101 can also be used in this design for lower-resolution applications.  
This design example combines several circuit elements to create a subsystem that can support most field  
sensors in two-wire, current-loop applications. The design accepts bus voltages from 12 V to 36 V, while  
regulating the loop-current representation of a sensor to a post-calibration accuracy of less than 0.1% full-scale  
range (FSR) of total error at room temperature. The high integration in the system allows for a compact circuit,  
making this device an excellent choice for field transmitters where space is a concern. In field-transmitter  
applications, the current-loop transmitter, microcontroller, sensors, and analog front end are all required to  
consume less than the minimum bus current of 3 mA. Use an integrated DC/DC converter in the system to  
extend the current budget and allow more current for sensors and the AFE.  
8-2 shows the schematic diagram for the loop-powered, 4-mA to 20-mA field transmitter.

8-3. Block Diagram of a Loop-Powered, 4-mA to 20-mA Current Transmitter  
The terminals connected to the loop are shown on the right side of the block diagram. This connection to the  
loop powers the entire transmitter. A bridge rectifier at the input protects against reverse connection to the loop.  
The rectified loop voltage powers a start-up circuit that provides power to an LDO, that in turn powers the  
AFE88101. The LDO powers a flyback converter acting as a boost and supplies power across an isolation  
barrier. On the other side of the isolation barrier, another LDO powers the MCU and any sensor connected to the  
transmitter. The LDOs also power the digital signal isolation on each side of the barrier.  
The AFE88101 controls the loop current through the voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter block. The DAC voltage  
sets the output from 0.3 V to 2.5 V. The output is sent through a V-to-I converter block using an OPA333 and an  
NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT).

8.2.1.2.1 Start-Up Circuit  
When the loop is applied to the terminals, the loop power starts up the board. Transistor Q4 from 8-2 pulls  
current from the start-up and current-shunt regulator sections of the transmitter. The start-up circuit is shown in  
8-4.

8-4. Start-Up Circuit  
In the start-up circuit, the 3.6-V Zener diode sets the voltage at the base of Q1. If the TLVH431B shunt regulator  
has not started, apply voltage to LOOP+ and LOOPto turn on Q1 and source current to the shunt regulator.  
As the shunt regulator turns on and approaches the set voltage of 3.3 V, the base-emitter voltage (VBE) of Q1  
becomes smaller. The collector current of Q2 drives the current of the shunt regulator to set the LOOP current  
going through the 40.2-Ωresistor in the current loop control circuit shown in the following section. After the start-  
up circuit has started, Q1 stops supplying current because the VBE is restricted. Q1 shuts off, leaving several  
microamps of current flowing through the 3.6-V Zener diode.  
Take care when selecting the Zener diode. The voltage across the Zener diode varies with the loop voltage and  
the temperature of the circuit. This variance can change the VBE across Q1 and change the total current going  
through the start-up circuit. If the voltage is too high, the Zener diode sets Q1 to continue to source current after  
the circuit starts up. If the voltage is too low, the Zener diode prevents the TLVH431B from turning on. Verify  
proper start up by checking that the 3.3-V supply starts up, and that Q1 turns off when in operation.  
When the circuit starts up and the 3V3 line comes up to the desired 3.3-V supply level, the current through the  
TLVH431B is primarily sourced through Q2. The Q2 transistor must be able to dissipate enough power to handle  
the high current (> 20 mA) and the high voltage (> 30 V) in the loop. Because the biased transistor, Q2, is  
responsible for sourcing most of the output current, choose the components in the path of this current flow with  
appropriate power ratings. In this case, the 8.2-Ωresistor is rated to 0.25 W.  
The current mirror is set up so that the current gain from Q3 to Q2 is approximately a factor of 60 ×. The exact  
current gain is not important as long as the current through Q3 is low.

8-5. Current Loop Control for the AFE88101 Transmitter  
In this circuit, the VOUT voltage is set across the 100-kΩ resistor by the AFE88101. The opposite end of the  
100-kΩ resistor is set to ground by the feedback of the OPA333. The current across the 100-kΩ resistor is  
VOUT divided by 100 kΩ. This current continues through the 40.2-kΩ resistor so that the voltage at LOOPis  
less than ground. 方程11 calculates the voltage at LOOP.  
V
= – VOUT / 100 kΩ × 40.2 kΩ = – VOUT × 0.402  
(11)  
LOOP–  
When the DAC output voltage is set to 0.3 V, the voltage at LOOPis 0.1206 V less than ground. When the  
DAC output voltage is set to 2.5 V, the voltage at LOOPis 1.005 V less than ground. The LOOPvoltage  
sets the loop current that flows from ground to LOOPthrough the 40.2-Ωresistor. This current is sourced from  
ground but controlled by the current sunk from Q4 coming from the start-up circuit. 方程式 12 calculates the loop  
current.

current to set the feedback loop. The current pulled from LOOP+ powers the board. Excess current greater than  
what is required to power the board is shunted through the TLVH431B regulator.  
The AFE88101 sets the DAC output voltage through an output code. This conversion to output voltage is set

In 4-mA to 20-mA systems, the nominal output operates from 4 mA as the low output and 20 mA as the high  
output. However, systems sometimes use current outputs that are outside this range to indicate different error  
conditions. Loop currents of 3.375 mA and 21.75 mA can be used to indicate different loop errors. 8-1 shows  
different loop output currents, along with the DAC code and voltages used.

Among the passive devices included in the design, choose gain setting resistors that exhibit tight tolerances to  
achieve high accuracy. These resistors are primarily responsible for setting the gain of the current loop, along  
with primary path of the output current flow.  
8.2.1.2.3 Input Protection and Rectification  
8-6 shows the simple protection scheme implemented in the design to mitigate issues that arise from voltage  
and current transients on the bus. These transients have two main components: high-frequency and high-  
energy. These two components can be leveraged with a strategy of attenuation and diversion by the protection  
circuitry to deliver robust immunity.

8-6. Loop Input Protection  
Attenuation uses passive components, primarily resistors and capacitors, to attenuate high-frequency transients  
and to limit series current. Use ferrite beads to maintain dc accuracy while still delivering the ability to limit  
current from high-frequency transients. This circuit uses a capacitor placed across the input terminals, as well as  
ferrite beads in series with the terminals.  
Diversion capitalizes on the high-voltage properties of the transient signals by using a diode to clamp the  
transient within supply voltages, or to divert the energy away from the system. Transient voltage suppressor  
(TVS) diodes help protect against transients because TVS diodes break down very quickly and often feature  
high power ratings that are critical to survive multiple transient strikes.

A rectifier is also implemented for reverse polarity protection so that the design can be connected to the bus  
regardless of the pin orientation or polarity without damage to the design.  
8.2.1.2.4 System Current Budget  
Power consumption is an important consideration when designing two-wire transmitters. Power supplied from  
the loop must power all the circuitry related to the transmitter and sensor. The minimum loop current in two-wire  
applications is typically 4 mA. However, for error indications, this current is as low as 3.375 mA. Therefore, the  
power budget of all transducer circuitry must be less than the maximum allowable system power budget of 3 mA.

respective data sheets).

8-7. Circuit Start-Up  
8.3 Initialization Set Up  
This section describes several recommendations to set up the AFEx8101.  
The AFEx8101 power up with the CRC enabled. If the device is intended to be run without the CRC, the CRC  
must be disabled by setting the CRC_EN bit to 0h in the CONFIG register. Be aware that the command to write  
to this register is first done with the CRC enabled. The CRC byte must be appended to the command for the  
device to interpret the command correctly. To disable the CRC after start up, write 0x02 0x00 0x26 0x24 to the  
device. The first three bytes write the command, while the last byte is the CRC byte. For more information on the  
CRC, see the communication description in 7.5.2.3.  
The AFEx8101 also power up with the SDO pin disabled. The SDO is required for reading from any of the device  
registers, as well as reading any data from the ADC in SPI mode. The SDO is enabled by writing 0h into the  
DSDO bit in the CONFIG register. See also 7.5.2.1 and 7.5.2.2.  
To enable the ADC, first enable the ADC buffer by writing 0h into the BUF_PD bit in the ADC_CFG register.  
Information about using the ADC in different modes of operation is in 7.3.2.

8.4 Power Supply Recommendations  
The AFEx8101 can operate within a single-supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V applied to the PVDD pin. When 2.7 V  
to 5.5 V is provided to PVDD, an internal LDO is enabled that drives VDD internally. VDD pin must have 1 μF to  
10 μF of capacitance for operation.  
The AFEx8101 can also be operated with a lower supply voltage of 1.71 V to 1.89 V applied to the PVDD pin.  
When the voltage is within this lower range, the internal LDO is not operational, and the lower external supply on  
the PVDD pin must be tied to the VDD pin.  
The digital interface supply, IOVDD, can operate with a supply range of 1.71 V to 5.5 V.  
Switching power supplies and DC/DC converters often have high-frequency glitches or spikes riding on the  
output voltage. In addition, digital components can create similar high-frequency spikes. This noise can easily  
couple into the DAC output voltage or current through various paths between the power connections and analog  
output. To further reduce noise, include bulk and local decoupling capacitors. The current consumption on the  
PVDD and IOVDD pins, the short-circuit current limit for the voltage output, and the current ranges for the  
current output are listed in the Electrical Characteristics. The power supply must meet the requirements listed in  
the Recommended Operating Conditions.  
8.5 Layout  
8.5.1 Layout Guidelines  
To maximize the performance of the AFEx8101 in any application, follow good layout practices and proper circuit  
design. The following recommendations are specific to the device:  
For best performance, dedicate an entire PCB layer to a ground plane and do not route any other signal  
traces on this layer. However, depending on restrictions imposed by specific end equipment, a dedicated  
ground plane is not always practical. If ground-plane separation is necessary, make a direct connection of the  
planes at the DAC. Do not connect individual ground planes at multiple locations because this configuration  
creates ground loops.  
IOVDD and PVDD must have 100-nF decoupling capacitors local to the respective pins. VDD must have at  
least a 1-μF decoupling capacitor used for the internal LDO, or for an external 1.8-V supply. Use a high-  
quality ceramic-type NP0 or X7R capacitor for best performance across temperature and a very low  
dissipation factor.  
Place a 100-nF reference capacitor close to the VREFIO pin.  
Avoid routing switching signals near the reference input.  
Maintain proper placement for the digital and analog sections with respect to the digital and analog  
components. Separate the analog and digital circuitry for less coupling into neighboring blocks and to  
minimize the interaction between analog and digital return currents.  
For designs that include protection circuits:  
Place diversion elements, such as TVS diodes or capacitors, close to off-board connectors to make sure  
that return current from high-energy transients does not cause damage to sensitive devices  
Use large, wide traces to provide a low-impedance path to divert high-energy transients away from the I/O  
pins.

be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published  
specifications.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:  
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.  
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.  
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.  
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance  
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may  
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".  
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.  
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based  
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6)  
Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two  
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
