Temperature Sensor
The VITA 2000 has an on-chip temperature sensor which
can output a digital code (Tsensor) of the silicon junction
temperature. The Tsensor output is a 8-bit digital count
between 0 and 255, proportional to the temperature of the
silicon substrate. This reading can be translated directly to
a temperature reading in °C by calibrating the 8-bit readout
at 0°C and 70°C to achieve an output accuracy of ±2°C. The
Tsensor output can also be calibrated using a single
temperature point (example: room temperature or the
ambient temperature of the application), to achieve an
output accuracy of ±5°C.
The resolution of the temperature sensor in ºC / bit is made
almost constant over process variations by design.
Therefore any process variation will result in an offset in the
bit count and this offset will remain within ±5°C over the
temperature range of 0°C and 70°C.
Tsensor output digital code can be read out through the
SPI interface. Refer to the Register Map on page 50.
The output of the temperature sensor to the SPI:
tempd_reg_temp<7:0>: This is the 8-bit N count readout
proportional to temperature.
The input from the SPI:
The reg_tempd_enable is a global enable and this enables
or disables the temperature sensor when logic high or logic
low respectively. The temperature sensor is reset or disabled
when the input reg_tempd_enable is set to a digital low state.
Calibration using one temperature point
The temperature sensor resolution is fixed for a given type
of package for the operating range of 0°C to +70°C and
hence devices can be calibrated at any ambient temperature
of the application, with the device configured in the mode of
operation.
Interpreting the actual temperature for the digital code
readout:
The formula used is
TJ = R (Nread - Ncalib) + Tcalib
TJ = junction die temperature
R = resolution in degrees/LSB (typical 0.75 deg/LSB)
Nread = Tsensor output (LSB count between 0 and 255)
Tcalib = Tsensor calibration temperature
Ncalib = Tsensor output reading at Tcalib
Monitor Pins
The internal sequencer has two monitor outputs (Pin 44
and Pin 45) that can be used to communicate the internal
states from the sequencer. A three-bit register configures the
assignment of the pins.
