GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT75191 combine a 10-bit temp-
erature-to-digital converter, a 10-bit 4-channel ADC, and a
quad 12-/10-/8-bit DAC, respectively, in a 16-lead QSOP
package. The parts also include a band gap temperature sensor
and a 10-bit ADC to monitor and digitize the temperature
reading to a resolution of 0.25°C.
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ ADT7519 operate from a single 2.7 V
to 5.5 V supply. The input voltage range on the ADC channels is
0 V to 2.28 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.
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 provide 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. They feature a standby mode that is
controlled through the serial interface.
The reference for the four DACs is derived either internally or
from a reference pin. The outputs of all DACs may be updated
simultaneously using the software LDAC function or the
external LDAC pin. The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
incorporate 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 ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519’s wide supply voltage range,
low supply current, and SPI/I2C compatible interface make
them ideal for a variety of applications, including personal
computers, office equipment, and domestic appliances.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
1 Values relate to package being used on a 4-layer board.
2 Junction-to-case resistance is applicable to components featuring a
preferential flow direction, e.g., components mounted on a heat sink.
Junction-to-ambient resistance is more useful for air cooled PCB-mounted
components.
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.

Pin
No. Mnemonic Description
1 VOUT-B Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC B. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
2 VOUT-A Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC A. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
3 VREF-IN Reference Input Pin for All Four DACs. This input is buffered and has an input range from 1 V to VDD.
4 CS 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. -
5 GND Ground Reference Point for All Circuitry on the Part. Analog and digital ground.
6 VDD Positive Supply Voltage, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The supply should be decoupled to ground.
7 D+/AIN1 D+. Positive Connection to External Temperature Sensor.
AIN1. Analog Input. Single-ended analog input channel. Input range is 0 V to 2.28 V or 0 V to VDD.
8 D–/AIN2 D–. Negative Connection to External Temperature Sensor.
AIN2. Analog Input. Single-ended analog input channel. Input range is 0 V to 2.28 V or 0 V to VDD.
9 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 2.28 V or 0 V to VDD.
10 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.
11 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.
12 SDA/DIN SDA. I2C Serial Data Input/Output. I2C serial data to be loaded into the part’s registers and read from these registers is
provided on this pin. Open-drain configuration—needs a pull-up resistor.
DIN. SPI Serial Data Input. Serial data to be loaded into the part’s registers is provided on this pin. Data is clocked into
a register on the rising edge of SCLK. Open-drain configuration—needs a pull-up resistor.
13 SCL/SCLK Serial Clock Input. This is the clock input for the serial port. The serial clock is used to clock data out of any register of
the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 and also to clock data into any register that can be written to. Open-drain
configuration—needs a pull-up resistor.
14 AIN4 Analog Input. Single-ended analog input channel. Input range is 0 V to 2.28 V or 0 V to VDD.
15 VOUT-D Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC D. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
16 VOUT-C Buffered Analog Output Voltage from DAC C. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.

TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy
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.
Differential Nonlinearity
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.
Total Unadjusted Error (TUE)
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.
Offset Error
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.
Offset Error Match
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.
Gain Error Match
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
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of full-scale range)/°C.
Long Term Temperature Drift
This is a measure of the change in temperature error with the
passage of time. It is expressed in °C. The concept of long-term
stability has been used for many years to describe the amount
an IC’s parameter would shift during its lifetime. This is a
concept that has typically been applied to both voltage
references and monolithic temperature 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 temperatures (between 125°C and
150°C) over a shorter period (typically between 500 and 1000
hours). As a result, the lifetime of an integrated circuit is
significantly accelerated due to the increase in rates of reaction
within the semiconductor material.
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%.
DC Crosstalk
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
This is the ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the DAC
output to the reference input when the DAC output is not being
updated (i.e., LDAC is high). It is expressed in dB.
Channel-to-Channel Isolation
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.
Major-Code Transition Glitch Energy
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 . . . 11 to 100 . . . 00 or
100 . . . 00 to 011 . . . 11).
Digital Feedthrough
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.
Digital Crosstalk
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.
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
(all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping LDAC high. Then
pulse LDAC low and monitor the output of the DAC whose
digital code was not changed. The area of the glitch is expressed
in nV-s.

Rev. A | Page 12 of 44
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
This is the glitch impulse transferred to the output of one DAC
due to a digital code change and subsequent output change of
another DAC. This includes both digital and analog crosstalk. It
is measured by loading one of the DACs with a full-scale code
change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) with LDAC low and
monitoring the output of another DAC. The energy of the glitch
is expressed in nV-s.
Multiplying Bandwidth
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.
Total Harmonic Distortion
This is the difference between an ideal sine wave and its
attenuated version using the DAC. The sine wave is used as the
reference for the DAC, and the THD is a measure of the
harmonics present on the DAC output, expressed in dB.
Round Robin
This term is used to describe the ADT7516/ADT7517/
ADT7519 cycling through the available measurement channels
in sequence, taking a measurement on each channel.
DAC Output Settling Time
This is the time required, following a prescribed data change, for
the output of a DAC to reach and remain within ±0.5 LSB of the
final value. A typical prescribed change is from 1/4 scale to
3/4 scale.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Directly after the power-up calibration routine, the ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519 go into idle mode. In this mode, the
devices are not performing any measurements and are fully
powered up. All four DAC outputs are at 0 V.
To begin monitoring, write to the Control Configuration 1
register (Address 18h) and set Bit C0 = 1. The ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519 go into their power-up default measure-
ment mode, which is round robin. The devices proceed to take
measurements on the VDD channel, internal temperature sensor
channel, external temperature sensor channel, or AIN1 and
AIN2, AIN3, and finally AIN4. Once they finish taking
measurements on the AIN4 channel, the devices immediately
loop 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 explana-
tion of the single-channel and round robin measurement modes
is given in later sections. All measurement channels have
averaging enabled on them on power-up. Averaging forces the
devices to take an average of 16 readings before giving a final
measured result. To disable averaging and consequently
decrease the conversion time by a factor of 16, set Bit C5 = 1 in
the Control Configuration 2 register.
There are four single-ended analog input channels on the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519: 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 inputs’
ADC reference.
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
LDAC pin (Pin 9) controlling the updating of the DAC outputs
from the DAC registers. Alternatively, one can configure the
updating of the DAC outputs to be controlled by means other
than the LDAC pin by setting Bit C3 = 1 of the Control
Configuration 3 register (Address 1Ah). The DAC Configur-
ation 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 refer-
ence. DAC A and DAC B outputs can be configured to give a
voltage output proportional to the temperature of the internal
and external temperature sensors, respectively.
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.
There are a number of different operating modes on the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 devices and all of them can be
controlled by the configuration registers. These features consist
of enabling and disabling interrupts, polarity of the INT/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.
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.
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.
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
Rev. A | Page 20 of 44
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 power 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 ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 have four resistor string
DACs fabricated on a CMOS process with resolutions of 12, 10,
and 8 bits, respectively. They contain four output buffer ampli-
fiers and are written to via I2C serial interface or SPI serial inter-
face. See the Serial Interface section for more information.
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 operate from a single sup-
ply 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 common 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
command can be given by either pulling the LDAC pin low
(falling edge loads DACs), setting up Bits D4 and D5 of the
DAC configuration register (Address 1Bh), or using the LDAC
register (Address 1Ch).
When using the LDAC pin to control the DAC register loading,
the low going pulse width should be 20 ns minimum. The
LDAC pin has to go high and low again before the DAC
registers can be reloaded.
Digital-to-Analog Section
The architecture of one DAC channel consists of a resistor
string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. The voltage
at the VREF-IN pin or the on-chip reference of 2.28 V provides
the reference voltage for the corresponding DAC. Figure 42
shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture. Since the input
coding to the DAC is straight binary, the ideal output voltage is
given by

Resistor String
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 43. 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.

DAC Reference Inputs
There is an input reference pin for the DACs. This reference
input is buffered (see Figure 44).
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 LDAC configuration register controls the option to select
between internal and external voltage references. The default
setting is for external reference selected.
Output Amplifier
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 20.
The slew rate is 0.7 V/µs with a half-scale settling time to
±0.5 LSB (at 8 bits) of 6 µs.
Thermal Voltage Output
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 can output voltages that are
proportional to temperature. DAC A output can be configured
to represent the temperature of the internal sensor while DAC B
output can be configured to represent the external temperature
sensor. Bits C5 and C6 of the Control Configuration 3 register
select the temperature proportional output voltage. Each time a
temperature measurement is taken, the DAC output is updated.
The output resolution for the ADT7519 is 8 bits with 1°C
change corresponding to 1 LSB change. The output resolution
for the ADT7516 and ADT7517 are capable of 10 bits with
0.25°C change corresponding to 1 LSB change. The default
output resolution for the ADT7516 and ADT7517 is 8 bits. To
increase this to 10 bits, set C1 = 1 in the Control Configuration
3 register. The default output range is 0 V to VREF and this can be
increased to 0 V to 2 VREF. Increasing the output voltage span to
2 VREF can be done by setting D0 = 1 for DAC A (internal temp-
erature sensor) and D1 = 1 for DAC B (external temperature
sensor) in the DAC configuration register (Address 1Bh).
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.
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.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION—ANALOG INPUTS
Single-Ended Inputs
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 offer four single-ended
analog input channels. The analog input range is from 0 V to
2.28 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 2.28 V. Setting the bit to 1 sets
up the ADC reference to be sourced from VDD.
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 48 shows the overall view of the 4-channel analog
input path.

When the ADC eventually goes into conversion phase (see
Figure 50), 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 51 shows the ADC transfer function for the
analog inputs.
ADC TRANSFER FUNCTION
The output coding of the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 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 = 2.28 V. The ideal transfer characteristic is shown in
Figure 51.

Analog Input ESD Protection
Figure 52 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.

AIN Interrupts
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-
parisons generate flags that are stored in the Interrupt Status 1
register (Address = 00h) 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. It is good design
practice to mask out interrupts for channels that are of no
concern to the application. Figure 53 shows the interrupt
structure for the ADT7516/ ADT7517/ADT7519. It gives a
block diagram representation of how the various measurement
channels affect the INT/INT pin.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION—MEASUREMENT
Temperature Sensor
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 contain an ADC with
special input signal conditioning to enable operation with
external and on-chip diode temperature sensors. When the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 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 temper-
ature 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.
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.
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.
Theoretically, the temperature measuring circuit can measure
temperatures from –128°C to +127°C with a resolution of
0.25°C. However, temperatures outside TA are outside the
guaranteed operating temperature range of the device. Temp-
erature measurement from –128°C to +127°C is possible using
an external sensor.
Temperature measurement is initiated by three methods. The
first method is applicable when the part is in single-channel
measurement mode. The temperature is measured 16 times and
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 ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519 default on power-up with averaging
enabled.
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 is continuously measuring 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 pro-
gress stops and the ADC resets. Conversion restarts immedi-
ately after the serial communication has finished. The temp-
erature measurement proceeds normally as described above.
VDD Monitoring
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 also have 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 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.
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 2.28 V
internal reference value. Below is an example of how the
transfer function works.
VDD = 5 V
ADC Reference = 2.28 V
1 LSB = ADC Reference/210
= 2.28/1024
= 2.226 mV
Scale Factor = Full-scale VCC/ADC Reference
= 7/2.28
= 3.07
Conversion Result = VDD/(Scale Factor × LSB size)
= 5/(3.07 × 2.226 mV)
= 2 DCh

On-Chip Reference
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 have an on-chip 1.2 V band
gap reference, which is gained up by a switched capacitor ampli-
fier to give an output of 2.28 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 con-
sumption. The internal reference is used as the reference for the
ADC. The ADC is used for measuring VDD, internal temperature
sensor, external temperature sensor, and AIN inputs. The
internal reference is always used when measuring VDD, and the
internal and external temperature sensors. The external
reference is the default power-up reference for the DACs.
Round Robin Measurement
On power-up, the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 go 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
measurement 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., internal temperature sensor, is measured in each
conversion cycle.
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.
Single-Channel Measurement
Setting C4 of the Control Configuration 2 register enables the
single-channel mode and allows the ADT7516/ADT7517/
ADT7519 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 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 internal 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 ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 stops the conversions, but
they are restarted once the read or write operation is completed.
Temperature Measurement Method
Internal Temperature Measurement
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 contain an on-chip band
gap temperature sensor whose output is digitized by the on-chip
ADC. The temperature data is stored in the Internal Temper-
ature Value register. Because both positive and negative temper-
atures can be measured, the temperature data is stored in twos
complement format, as shown in Table 9. The thermal charac-
teristics 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.
External Temperature Measurement
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 can measure the temper-
ature of one external diode sensor or diode-connected
transistor.
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.
The technique used in the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 is to
measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at two
different currents. This is given by
(

NnqKTVBE 1/
∆
where:
K is Boltzmann’s constant.
q is the charge on the carrier.
T is the absolute temperature in kelvins.
N is the ratio of the two currents.
Figure 45 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.
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
Rev. A | Page 27 of 44
If a discrete transistor is used, the collector will not be
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.
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 me asu re ∆V BE, the sensor is switched between operating
currents 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 rectification of the waveform to produce a dc voltage
proportional to ∆VBE. This voltage is measured by the ADC to
give a temperature 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.
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 ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 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.
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.
3. Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise
pickup. A 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is
recommended.

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 corresponds 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.
5. Place 0.1 µF bypass and 2200 pF input filter capacitors
close to the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519.
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. Con-
nect the twisted pair to D+ and D–. and the shield to GND
close to the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519. 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.
Cable resistance can also introduce errors. Series resistance of
1 Ω introduces about 0.5°C error.
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.
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.

Interrupts
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
(Address 01h). 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. It is good design practice to mask out
interrupts for channels that are of no concern to the application.
Figure 53 shows the interrupt structure for the ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519. It gives a block diagram representation of
how the various measurement channels affect the INT/INT pin.
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 REGISTERS
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 contain registers that are
used to store the results of external and internal temperature
measurements, VDD value measurements, analog input measure-
ments, high and low temperature limits, supply voltage and
analog input limits, set output DAC voltage levels, configure
multipurpose pins, and generally to control the device. A
description of these registers follows.
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 with other registers. These registers hold the 10-bit
conversion 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. The link involved
between these types of registers is 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 was read, this register and Register 07h
would be subsequently unlocked.

If an MSB register is read first, its corresponding LSB register is
not locked, leaving the user with the option of just reading back
8 bits (MSB) of a 10-bit conversion result. Reading an MSB
register first does not lock other MSB registers, and likewise
reading an LSB register first does not lock other LSB registers.

and single-channel mode. ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
powers up in round robin mode but monitoring is not
initiated until this bit is set. The default = 0.
0 = Stop monitoring.
1 = Start monitoring.
C2:C1 Selects between the two different analog inputs on Pins
7 and 8. ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 powers up with
AIN1 and AIN2 selected.
00 = AIN1 and AIN2 selected.
01 = Undefined.
10 = External TDM selected.
11 = Undefined.
C3 Selects between digital (LDAC) and analog inputs (AIN3)
on Pin 9. When AIN3 is selected, Bit C3 of the Control
Configuration 3 register is masked and has no effect
until LDAC is selected as the input on Pin 9.
0 = LDAC selected.
1 = AIN3 selected.
C4 Reserved. Write 0 only.
C5 0 = Enable INT/INT output.
1 = Disable INT/INT output.
C6 Configures INT/INT output polarity.

1 = Active high.
PD Power-Down Bit. Setting this bit to 1 puts the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 into standby mode. In this
mode, both ADC and DACs are fully powered down, but
the serial interface is still operational. To power up the
part again, just write 0 to this bit.

C6 SMBus timeout on the serial clock puts a 25 ms limit on
the pulse width of the clock, ensuring that a fault on the
master SCL does not lock up the SDA line.
0 = Disable SMBus timeout.
1 = Enable SMBus timeout.

Internal Temperature Offset Register (Read/Write)
[Add. = 1Fh]
This register contains the offset value for the internal temp-
erature channel. A twos complement number can be written to
this register which is then added to the measured result before it
is stored or compared to limits. In this way, a one-point cali-
bration can be done whereby the whole transfer function of the
channel can be moved up or down. From a software point of
view, this may be a very simple method to vary the charac-
teristics of the measurement channel if the thermal charac-
teristics change. Because it is an 8-bit register, the temperature
resolution is 1°C.

Internal Analog Temperature Offset Register
(Read/Write) [Add. = 21h]
This register contains the offset value for the internal thermal
voltage output. A twos complement number can be written to
this register, which is then added to the measured result before
it is converted by DAC A. Varying the value in this register has
the effect of varying the temperature span. For example, the
output voltage can represent a temperature span of –128°C to
+127°C or even 0°C to +127°C. In essence, this register changes
the position of 0 V on the temperature scale. Temperatures
other than –128°C to +127°C will produce an upper deadband
on the DAC A output. Because it is an 8-bit register, the
temperature resolution is 1°C. The default value is –40°C.

External THIGH/AIN1 VHIGH Limit Register (Read/Write)
[Add. = 27h]
If Pins 7 and 8 are configured for the external temperature
sensor, this limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that
stores the twos complement of the external temperature upper
limit, which will cause an interrupt and activate the INT/INT
output (if enabled). For this to happen, the measured external
temperature value has to be greater than the value in this reg-
ister. Because it is an 8-bit register, the temperature resolution is
1°C. The default value is –1°C.
If Pins 7 and 8 are configured for AIN1 and AIN2 inputs, this
limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the AIN1
input upper limit, which will cause an interrupt and activate the
INT/INT output (if enabled). For this to happen, the measured
AIN1 value has to be greater than the value in this register.
Because it is an 8-bit register, the resolution is four times less
than the resolution of the 10-bit ADC. Because the power-up
default settings for Pins 7 and 8 are AIN1 and AIN2 inputs, the
default value for this limit register is full-scale voltage.

stores the twos complement of the external temperature lower
limit, which will cause an interrupt and activate the INT/INT
output (if enabled). For this to happen, the measured external
temperature value has to be more negative than or equal to the
value in this register. Because it is an 8-bit register, the temp-
erature resolution is 1°C. The default value is 0°C.
If Pins 7 and 8 are configured for AIN1 and AIN2 inputs, this
limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the AIN1
input lower limit, which will cause an interrupt and activate the

AIN1 value has to be less than or equal to the value in this reg-
ister. As it is an 8-bit register, the resolution is four times less
than the resolution of the 10-bit ADC. Because the power-up
default settings for Pins 7 and 8 are AIN1 and AIN2 inputs, the
default value for this limit register is 0 V.

Device ID Register (Read-Only) [Add. = 4Dh]

ADT7519 = 0Bh.
Manufacturer’s ID Register (Read-Only) [Add. = 4Eh]
This register contains the manufacturer’s identification number.
ADI’s ID number is 41h.
Silicon Revision Register (Read-Only) [Add. = 4Fh]
This register is divided into the four LSBs representing the
stepping and the four MSBs representing the version. The
stepping contains the manufacturer’s code for minor revisions
or steppings to the silicon. The version is the ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519 version number.
SPI Lock Status Register (Read-Only) [Add. = 7Fh]
Bit D0 (LSB) of this read-only register indicates whether or not
the SPI interface is locked. Writing to this register will cause the
device to malfunction. The default value is 00h.
0 = I2C interface.
1 = SPI interface selected and locked.
SERIAL INTERFACE
There are two serial interfaces that can be used on this part: I2C
and SPI. The device will power up with the serial interface in
I2C mode, but it is not locked into this mode. To stay in I2C
mode, it is recommended that the user tie the CS line to either
VCC or GND. It is not possible to lock the I2C mode, but it is
possible to select and lock the SPI mode.
To select and lock the interface into the SPI mode, a number of
pulses must be sent down the CS line (Pin 4). The following
section describes how this is done.
Once the SPI communication protocol has been locked in, it
cannot be unlocked while the device is still powered up. Bit D0
of the SPI lock status register (Address 7Fh) is set to 1 when a
successful SPI interface lock has been accomplished. To reset
the serial interface, the user must power down the part and
power it up again. A software reset does not reset the serial
interface.
Serial Interface Selection
The CS line controls the selection between I2C and SPI.
Figure 59 shows the selection process necessary to lock the SPI
interface mode.
To communicate to the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 using
the SPI protocol, send three pulses down the CS line as shown
in Figure 59. On the third rising edge (marked as C in
Figure 59), the part selects and locks the SPI interface. The user
is now limited to communicating to the device using the SPI
protocol.
As per most SPI standards, the CS line must be low during
every SPI communication to the ADT7516/ADT7517/
ADT7519 and high all other times. Typical examples of how to
connect the dual interface as I2C or SPI is shown in Figure 57
and Figure 58. The following sections describe in detail how to
use the I2C and SPI protocols associated with the ADT7516/
ADT7517/ADT7519.

ADT7519 have a 7-bit serial address. The four MSBs of this
address for the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 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.
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
power-on default is with the SMBus timeout disabled.
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 support 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. The frame clock sequence (FCS)
conforms to CRC-8 by the polynominal
()

Consult the SMBus specification (www.smbus.org) for more
information.
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
a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus a R/W bit, which
determines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether
data will be written to or read from the slave device.
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the
transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known
as the Acknowledge Bit. 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/W bit is 0 the master will
write to the slave device. If the R/W bit is 1, the master will
read 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, because a low to high tran-
sition when the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop
signal.
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.

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 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.
Writing to the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
Depending on the register being written to, there are two
different writes for the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519. It is not
possible to do a block write to this part, i.e., no I2C auto-
increment.
Writing to the Address Pointer Register for a
Subsequent Read
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 60. 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.
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 61. 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 be repeatedly loaded until the last data byte has
been sent.
Reading Data from the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
Reading data from the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 is done
in a 1-byte operation. Reading back the contents of a register is
shown in Figure 62. 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 auto-increment.
SPI Serial Interface
The SPI serial interface of the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519
consists of four wires: CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT. The CS is
used to select the device when more than one device is con-
nected to the serial clock and data lines. The CS is also used to
distinguish between any two separate serial communications
(see Figure 67 for a graphical explanation). The SCLK is used to
clock data in and out of the part. The DIN line is used to write to
the registers, 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.
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.
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 67.
Address auto-increment is possible in SPI mode.

Write Operation
Figure 63 shows the timing diagram for a write operation to the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519. Data is clocked into the reg-
isters on the rising edge of SCLK. When the CS line is high, the
DIN and DOUT lines are in three-state mode. Only when the
CS goes from a high to a low does the part accept any data on
the DIN line. In SPI mode, the address pointer register is cap-
able of auto-incrementing to the next register in the register
map without having to load the address pointer register each
time. In Figure 63, 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
auto-increments its value to the next available register. The
address pointer register will auto-increment from 00h to 3Fh
and will loop back to start again at 00h when it reaches 3Fh.
Read Operation
Figure 64 to Figure 66 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 64. Figure 65 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 66
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 auto-incremental. The
address pointer register will auto-increment from 00h to 3Fh
and will loop back to start again at 00h when it reaches 3Fh

SMBus/SPI INT/INT
The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 INT/INT outputs are an
interrupt line for devices that want to trade their ability to
master for an extra pin. The ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 are
slave devices and use the SMBus/SPI INT/INT to signal the host
device that it wants to talk to. The SMBus/SPI INT/INT on the
ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 is used as an over/under limit
indicator.
The INT/INT pin has an open-drain configuration that allows
the outputs of several devices to be wired-AND together when
the INT/INT pin is active low. Use C6 of the Control Config-
uration 1 register to set the active polarity of the INT/INT out-
put. The power-up default is active low. The INT/INT output
can be disabled or enabled by setting C5 of the Control Config-
uration 1 register to 1 or 0, respectively.
The INT/INT output becomes active when either the internal
temperature value, the external temperature value, VDD value, or
any of the AIN input values exceed the values in their corres-
ponding THIGH/VHIGH or TLOW/VLOW registers. The INT/INT out-
put goes inactive again when a conversion result has the mea-
sured value back within the trip limits and when the status reg-
ister associated with the out-of-limit event is read. The two
interrupt status registers show which event caused the INT/INT
pin to go active.
The INT/INT output requires an external pull-up resistor. This
can be connected to a voltage different from VDD, provided the
maximum voltage rating of the INT/INT output pin is not
exceeded. The value of the pull-up resistor depends on the
application but should be large enough to avoid excessive sink
currents at the INT/INT output, which can heat the chip and
affect the temperature reading.
SMBUS ALERT RESPONSE
The INT/INT pin behaves the same way as an SMBus alert pin
when the SMBus/I2C interface is selected. It is an open-drain
output and requires a pull-up to VDD. Several INT/INT outputs
can be wire-AND together, so that the common line will go low
if one or more of the INT/INT outputs goes low. The polarity of
the INT/INT pin must be set active low for a number of outputs
to be wired-AND together.
The INT/INT output can operate as an SMBALERT function.
Slave devices on the SMBus can not normally signal to the
master that they want to talk, but the SMBALERT function
allows them to do so. SMBALERT is used in conjunction with
the SMBus general call address.
One or more INT/INT outputs can be connected to a common
SMBALERT line connected to the master. When the
SMBALERT line is pulled low by one of the devices, the
following procedure occurs as shown in Figure 68.
1. SMBALERT pulled low.
2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the alert res-
ponse address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call
address that must not be used as a specific device address.
3. The devices whose INT/INT output is low responds to the
alert response address and the master reads its device
address. As the device address is seven bits long, an LSB of
1 is added. The address of the device is now known and it
can be interrogated in the usual way.
4. If more than one device’s INT/INT output is low, the one
with the lowest device address will have priority in accor-
dance with normal SMBus specifications.
5. Once the ADT7516/ADT7517/ADT7519 have responded
to the alert response address, they will reset their INT/INT
output, provided that the condition that caused the out-of-
limit event no longer exists and that the status register
associated with the out-of-limit event is read. If the
SMBALERT line remains low, the master will send the
ARA again. It will continue to do this until all devices
whose SMBALERT outputs were low have responded.
