DEMO MANUAL DC1785B LTC2991 I2C Temperature, Voltage and Current Monitor Description Demonstration circuit 1785B features the LTC(R)2991, a high performance temperature, voltage and current monitor that uses an I2C interface for communication. It offers sub-millivolt voltage resolution, 1% current measurement and 1C temperature accuracy. to measure performance. The exposed ground planes allow proper grounding to prototype circuitry. After evaluating with Linear Technology's software, the digital signals can be connected to the end application's processor/controller for development of the serial interface. DC1785B is a member of Linear Technology`s QuikEvalTM family of demonstration boards. It is designed to allow easy evaluation of the LTC2991 and may be connected directly to the target application's analog signals while using the DC590 USB Serial Controller board and supplied software Design files for this circuit board are available at http://www.linear.com/demo/DC1785B L, LT, LTC, LTM, Module, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and QuikEval is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.

Proper Measurement Equipment Set-Up dc1785bfa 1 DEMO MANUAL DC1785B quick start procedure Connect the DC1785B to a DC590 USB Serial Controller using the supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable. Connect the DC590 to host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Run the evaluation software supplied with DC590 or downloaded from http://www.linear.com/software. The correct program will be loaded automatically. Click the COLLECT button to start reading the input voltage. Details on software features are documented in the control panel's help menu. Software Set-Up The legend for each input type icon is included below. Single-Ended (default) Differential Diode Temperature Input sampling can also be turned on and off by left clicking the label of the corresponding input. When an input is off, the values box below the label will be shaded and the value will stop updating. The DC1785B software is designed to give the user access to all LTC2991 functionality and features. There are several options that may be accessed both through right and left clicks. Graph Settings Input Settings To pan the graph, hold down the right mouse button while hovering over the graph and move the mouse in the direction of desired motion. The graph will cease to auto-scroll after a pan has be initiated, to reactivate the auto-scroll double left click anywhere on the graph. By default, all eight inputs are set as single-ended. This may be modified by either left clicking the input type picture to cycle through the options or right clicking the picture to bring up a list of options and left clicking to select. By default, the QuikEval software will graph V1. To begin graphing a different input, left click the values box of the input to be graphed. Figure 2. Software Screenshot dc1785bfa 2 DEMO MANUAL DC1785B quick start procedure To zoom the graph, left click and drag. To undo any zoom and re-initiate auto-scroll, double left click anywhere on the graph. Tools There are two tools included in the software package; both are accessible under the tools menu in the software. Statistics: The statistics window lists some basic information about the gathered values. It gives mean, standard deviation, min, max and crest factor. The statistics can be reset with the reset button. PWM: The PWM window allows the user to configure the PWM functionality of the LTC2991. The DC1785B includes a red LED next to the PWM turret which reflects the duty cycle of the PWM pin. The pin needs to be enabled in this window in order for proper functionality to be achieved. This window also allows the user to set the PWM threshold. Please see the LTC2991 data sheet for an explanation of the PWM pin functionality. HARDware Set-Up Jumper Settings V1, V2, V7, V8 - (Default VOLT, VOLT, VOLT, VOLT). These jumpers can be toggled between VOLT and TEMP. VOLT connects the corresponding input on the LTC2991 with the corresponding turret for an external input. TEMP connects the corresponding input to MMBT (V1 and V2). Please note that the jumpers should be moved in pairs, V1 and V2 should both be connected either to VOLT or TEMP and V7 and V8 should also be both connected to either VOLT or TEMP. Once set the proper selection should also be made inside the QuikEval software in the mode selection box, to reflect any changes made. Power - (Default DC590) EXTVCC allows the user to provide the VCC voltage (2.9V to 5V) to the LTC2991 at turret EXTVCC while DC590(5V) powers the LTC2991 with 5V from the DC590. State of VCC can be seen through red LED D1. ADR0, ADR1, ADR2 - (Default LOW, LOW, LOW) These jumpers are used to select the I2C address for the LTC2991. When used with QuikEval, the correct address should also be selected from within the software. Connection to DC590 Serial Controller J1 is the power and digital interface connector. Connect to DC590 serial controller with supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable. dc1785bfa 3 DEMO MANUAL DC1785B quick start procedure Analog Connections Digital Connections Analog signal connections are made via the row of turret posts along the edge of the board. Also, when connecting the board to an existing circuit the exposed ground planes along the edges of the board may be used to form a solid connection between grounds. PWM - PWM output pin configurable through the QuikEval software. State of the PWM pin is reflected quantitatively through the PWM LED at D2. GND - (8 turrets) These turrets are connected directly to the internal ground planes. EXTVCC - This turret allows the user to provide power to the LTC2991. Select power jumper accordingly. V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8 - These turrets are used to provide input voltage to the monitor when the corresponding jumpers are set to the VOLT position. SDA, SCL - I2C signals brought out to turrets. If DC1785B is to be run without a DC590 connected or with an alternative microprocessor, I2C signals can be driven at these points. If DC590 is not used R4 and R5 (Backside of board) can be populated with appropriate I2C pull-up values. GPO - General purpose output pin can be toggled through QuikEval software. dc1785bfa 4 DEMO MANUAL DC1785B parts list ITEM QTY REFERENCE PART DESCRIPTION MANUFACTURER/PART NUMBER Required Circuit Components 1 0 C1, C2, C3, C4 (OPT) Capacitor, 0603 OPT 2 2 C5, C6 Capacitor, 0.1F, 25V, X7R, 10%, 0603 TDK, C1608X7R1E104K (Bal to #1787A) 3 1 D1 LED, Red, J-Type, SMD, Tape/Reel, 1208 Panasonic, LN1251CTR 4 1 D2 LED, Green, J-Type, SMD, Tape/Reel, 1208 Panasonic, LN1351CTR 5 19 E1-E13, E16-E21 Turret, Testpoint, 0.065 Mill-Max, 2308-2-00-80-00-00-07-0 6 2 E14, E15 Turret, Testpoint, 0.095 Mill-Max, 2501-2-00-80-00-00-07-0 7 8 JP1-JP8 Header, 3-Pin, 0.079, Single Row Samtec, TMM-103-02-L-S 8 1 J1 Connector, Header 14POS 2mm Vert Gold Molex, 87831-1420 9 1 Q1 Transistor, PNP, -40V, -200MA, SOT23-3 Diodes/Zetex, FMMT3906TA 10 1 Q2 Transistor, NPN, 40V, 350MW, SMD, SOT23-3 Diodes Inc., MMBT3904-7-F 11 1 Q3 MOSFET, N-Channel, 60V, 115mA, SOT23-3 Diodes/Zetex, 2N7002TA 12 3 R1, R2, R3 Resistor, Chip 4.99k, 0.06W, 1%, 0603 Yageo, RC0603FR-074K99L 13 0 R4, R5 (OPT) Resistor, 0603 OPT 14 2 R6, R7 Resistor, Chip, 330, 0.06W, 5%, 0603 Yageo, RC0603JR-07330RL 15 2 R8, R9 Bal to #1765A Resistor, Chip, 1k, 0.06W, 5%, 0603 Yageo, RC0603JR-071KL 16 2 TP1, TP2 Testpoint, Test pad Component Corp., TP-107-02-1 17 1 U1 IC, Temperature, Voltage, Current Monitor MSOP(16)-MS Linear Technology, LTC2991CMS#PBF 18 1 U2 IC, EEPROM, 2kbit, 400kHz, TSSOP-8 Microchip, 24LC025-I/ST 19 8 XJP1-XJP8 Shunt, .079" Center Samtec, 2SN-BK-G dc1785bfa 5 Information furnished by Linear Technology Corporation is believed to be accurate and reliable.
