Brief Description
The RBicLiteTM is a CMOS integrated circuit, which enables easy and precise calibration of resistive bridge sensors via EEPROM. When mated to a resistive bridge sensor, it will digitally correct offset and gain with the option to correct offset and gain coefficients and linearity over temperature. A second order compensation can be enabled for temperature coefficients of gain and offset or bridge linearity. RBicLiteTM communicates via ZMD's ZACwireTM serial interface to the host computer and is easily mass calibrated in a Windows(R) environment. Once calibrated, the output SIGTM pin can provide selectable 0 to 1V, rail-to-rail ratiometric analog output, or digital serial output of bridge data with optional temperature data. * * * * Development Kit available Multi-Unit Calibrator Kit available Support for industrial mass calibration available Quick circuit customization possible for large production volumes

Circuit Description
1.1 Signal Flow and Block Diagram The RBicLiteTM series of resistive bridge sensor interface ICs were specifically designed as a cost-effective solution for sensing in building automation, industrial, office automation and white goods applications. The RBicLiteTM employs ZMD's high precision bandgap with proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) output; low-power 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A2D, A-to-D); and on-chip DSP core with EEPROM to precisely calibrate the bridge output signal. Three selectable outputs, two analog and one digital, offer the ultimate in versatility across many applications. The RBicLiteTM rail-to-rail ratiometric analog output Vout signal (0 to 5V Vout @ VDD=5V) suits most building automation and automotive requirements. Typical office automation and white goods applications require the 0~1Vout signal, which in the RBicLiteTM is referenced to the internal bandgap. Direct interfacing to P controllers is facilitated via ZMD's single-wire serial ZACwireTM digital interface. RBicLiteTM is capable of running in high-voltage (5.5-30V) systems when combined with an external JFET.

Datasheet 1.2 Analog Front End
1.2.1 Bandgap/PTAT and PTAT Amplifier The Bandgap/PTAT provides the PTAT signal to the ADC, which allows accurate temperature conversion. In addition, the ultra-low ppm Bandgap provides a stable voltage reference over temperature for the operation of the rest of the IC. The PTAT signal is amplified through a path in the pre-amp and fed to the ADC for conversion. The most significant 12-bits of this converted result are used for temperature measurement and temperature correction of bridge readings. When temperature is output in digital mode only the most significant 8-bits are given. 1.2.2 Bridge Supply The voltage driven bridge is usually connected to VDD and ground. As a power savings feature, the RBicLiteTM also includes a switched transistor to interrupt the bridge current via pin 1 (Bsink). The transistor switching is synchronized to the A-to-D conversion and released after finishing the conversion. To utilize this feature, the low supply of the bridge should be connected to Bsink instead of ground. Depending on the programmable update rate, the average current consumption (including bridge current) can be reduced to approximately 20%, 5% or 1%. 1.2.3 Pre-Amp Block The differential signal from the bridge is amplified through a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier with very high input impedance designed for low noise and low drift. This pre-amp provides gain for the differential signal and re-centers its DC to VDD/2. The output of the Pre-Amp block is fed into the A-to-D converter. The calibration sequence performed by the digital core includes an auto zero sequence to null any drift in the Pre-Amp state over temperature. The Pre-Amp is nominally set to a gain of 24. Other possible gain settings are 6, 12, and 48. The inputs to the Pre-Amp from (VBN/VBP pins) can be reversed via an EEPROM configuration bit. 1.2.4 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) A 14-bit/1ms 2nd order charge-balancing ADC is used to convert signals coming from the pre-amplifier. The converter, designed in full differential switched capacitor technique, is used for converting the various signals in the digital domain. This principle offers the following advantages: * * * High noise immunity because of the differential signal path and integrating behavior Independent from clock frequency drift and clock jitter Fast conversion time owing to second order mode
Four selectable values for the zero point of the input voltage allow conversion to adapt to the sensor's offset parameter. Together with the reverse input polarity mode, this results in four possible zero point adjustments. The conversion rate varies with the programmed update rate. The fastest conversation rate is 1k samples/s and the response time is then 1ms. Based on a best fit, the Integral Nonlinearity (INL) is less then 4 LSB14Bit.

Datasheet 1.3 Digital Signal Processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is used for processing the converted bridge data as well as performing temperature correction and computing the temperature value for output on the digital channel. The digital core reads correction coefficients from EEPROM and can correct for 1. Bridge Offset 2. Bridge Gain 3. Variation of Bridge Offset over Temperature (Tco) 4. Variation of Bridge Gain over Temperature (Tcg) 5. A Single Second Order Effect (SOT) (Second Order Term) The EEPROM contains a single SOT that can be applied to correct one and only one of the following: * * 2nd Order behavior of bridge measurement 2nd Order behavior of Tco
* 2nd Order behavior of Tcg (For more details, see section 2.5.1.) If the SOT applies to correcting the bridge reading then the correction formula for the bridge reading is represented as a two step process as follows: ZB BR = GainB[1 + T*Tcg]*[BR_Raw + OffsetB + T*Tco] = ZB*(1.25+SOT*ZB) = = = = = = = = = = = = Corrected Bridge reading that is output as digital or analog on SIGTM pin Intermediate result in the calculations Raw Bridge reading from ADC Raw Temp reading converted from PTAT signal Bridge gain term Bridge offset term Temperature coefficient gain Temperature coefficient offset (T_Raw - TSETL) Raw Temp reading converted from PTAT signal T_Raw reading at which low calibration was performed (typically 25C) Second Order Term
Where: BR ZB BR_Raw T_Raw Gain_B Offset_B Tcg Tco T T_Raw TSETL SOT
Note: See section 2.5.2.7 for limitations. If the SOT applies to correcting 2nd Order behavior of Tco then the formula for bridge correction is as follows: BR = Gain_B[1 + T*Tcg]*[BR_Raw + Offset_B + T(SOT*T + Tco)]
Note: See section 2.5.2.7 for limitations.

Datasheet If the SOT applies to correcting 2nd Order behavior of Tcg then the formula for bridge correction is as follows: BR = Gain_B[1 + T(SOT*T + Tcg)]*[BR_Raw + Offset_B_ + T*Tco)]
The bandgap reference gives a very linear PTAT signal, so temperature correction can always simply be accomplished with a linear gain and offset term.
Corrected Temp Reading: T Where T_Raw Offset_T Gain_T = = = Raw Temp reading converted from PTAT signal TempSensor offset coefficient TempSensor gain coefficient = Gain_T*[T_Raw + Offset_T]
1.3.1 EEPROM The EEPROM contains the calibration coefficients for gain and offset, etc., and the configuration bits, such as output mode, update rate, etc. When programming the EEPROM, an internal charge pump voltage is used so a high voltage supply is not needed. The charge pump is internally regulated to 12.5 V voltage and the programming time amounts to 6ms. 1.3.2 One-Wire Interface - ZACwireTM The IC communicates via a one-wire serial interface. There are different commands available for the following: * * * Reading the conversion result of the ADC (Get_BR_Raw, Get_T_Raw) Calibration Commands Entering various test modes o DAC test modes o Oscillator, 1V, and Pre-Amp o EEPROM test modes o Oscillator override & Scan test modes Reading from the EEPROM (dump of entire contents) Writing to the EEPROM (trim setting, configuration, and coefficients) Output Stage

1.4.1 Digital to Analog Converter (Output DAC) An 11-bit DAC based on sub-ranging resistor strings is used for the digital-to-analog output conversion in the analog ratiometric and absolute analog voltage modes. Selection during calibration configures the system to operate in either of these modes. The design allows for excellent testability as well as low power consumption.

Datasheet 1.4.2 Output Buffer A rail-to-rail op amp configured as a unity gain buffer can drive resistive loads (whether pull-up or pull-down) as low as 2.5k and capacitances up to 15nF. In addition, to limit the error due to amplifier offset voltage, an error compensation circuit is included which tracks and reduces offset voltage to < 1mV. 1.4.3 Voltage Reference Block This block uses the absolute reference voltage provided by the bandgap to produce two regulated on-chip voltage references. A 1V reference is used for the output DAC high reference when the part is configured in 0-1V analog output mode. For this reason, the 1V reference must be very accurate and includes trim so that its value can be trimmed within +/- 2mV of 1.00V. The 1V reference is also used as the on-chip reference for the JFET regulator block so the regulation set point of the JFET regulator can be fine tuned using the 1V trim. 1V Reference Trim (1V vs. Trim for Nominal Process Run): 1Vref_trim3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Vref_trim2 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1Vreft_trim1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1Vref_trim0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1Vref deltaV -0.0184 -0.0161 -0.0138 -0.0115 -0.0092 -0.0069 -0.0046 -0.0023 Nominal +0.0023 +0.0046 +0.0069 +0.0092 +0.0115 +0.0138 +0.0161 5Vref deltaV -0.0920 -0.0805 -0.0690 -0.0575 -0.0460 -0.0345 -0.0230 -0.0115 Nominal +0.0115 +0.0230 +0.0345 +0.0460 +0.0575 +0.0690 +0.0805
Sample: Programming "0000" the trimmed voltage = nominal value + 0.0161V
1.5 Clock Generator / Power On Reset (CLKPOR) If the power supply exceeds 2.5V (maximum), the reset signal de-asserts and the clock generator starts working at a frequency of approximately 512kHz (20%). The exact value only influences the conversion cycle time and communication to the outside world but not the accuracy of signal processing. In addition, to minimize the oscillator error as the VDD voltage changes, an on-chip regulator is used to supply the oscillator block.

Functional Description
2.1 General Working Mode The command/data transfer takes place via the one-wire SigTM pin using the ZACwireTM serial communication protocol. After Power ON the IC waits for 6ms(=Command window) for the Start_CM command. Without this command, the Normal Operation Mode (NOM) starts. In this mode, raw bridge values are converted, and the corrected values are presented on the output in analog or digital format (depending on the configuration stored in EEPROM). Command Mode (CM) can only be entered during the 6ms command window after Power ON. If the IC receives the Start_CM command during the command window, it remains in the Command Mode. The CM allows changing to one of the other modes via command. After command Start_RW, the IC is in the Raw Mode. Without correction, the raw values are transmitted to the digital output in a predefined order. The RM can only be stopped by Power OFF. Raw Mode is used by the calibration software for collection of raw bridge and temperature data so the correction coefficients can be calculated.

The incoming serial signal will be sampled at a 512kHz clock rate. This protocol is very tolerant to clock skew and can easily tolerate baud rates in the 6kHz to 48kHz range. 2.2.4 RBICLiteTM READ Operations
The incoming frame will be checked for proper parity on both command and data bytes, as well as for any edge timeouts prior to a full frame being received. Once a command/data pair is received, the RBicLiteTM will perform that command. Once the command has been successfully executed by the IC, it will acknowledge success by a transmission of an A5H byte back to the master. If the master does not receive an A5H transmission within 130msec of issuing the command, it must assume the command was either improperly received or could not be executed.

The transmits 10-bit bytes (1 start bit, 8 data, 1 parity). During calibration and configuration, transmissions are normally either A5H or data. A5H indicates successful completion of a command. There are two different digital output modes configurable (digital output with temperature and digital output with only bridge data). During Normal Operation Mode, if the part is configured for digital output of the bridge reading, it first transmits the high byte of bridge data followed by the low byte. The bridge data is 14-bits in resolution, so the upper two bits of the high byte are always zero padded. There is a half stop bit time between bytes in a packet. That means for the time of a half a bit width, the signal level is high.

Transmissions from the IC occur at one of two speeds depending on the update rate programmed in EEPROM. If the user chooses one of the two fastest update rates (1ms or 5ms) then the baud rate of digital transmission will be 32kHz. If however, the user chooses one of the two slower update rates (25ms or 125ms), then the baud rate of digital transmission will be 8kHz. One can easily program any standard controller to communicate with the RBicLiteTM. ZMDA can provide sample code for a MicroChip PIC Controller.

RBicLiteTM Low-Cost Sensor Signal Conditioner
Datasheet 2.2.5 High Level Protocol The RBicLiteTM will listen for a command/data pair to be transmitted for the 6ms after the de-assert of its internal Power On Reset (POR). If a transmission is not received within this time frame, then it will transition to Normal Operation Mode (NOM). In NOM, it will output bridge data in either 0-1V analog, rail-to-rail ratiometric analog output, or digital depending on how the part is currently configured. If the RBicLiteTM receives a Start CM command within the first 6ms after the de-assert of POR, then it will go into Command Mode(CM). In this mode, calibration/configuration commands will be executed. The RBicLiteTM will acknowledge successful execution of commands by transmission of an A5H. The calibrating/configuring master will know a command was not successfully executed if no response is received after 130ms of issuing the command. Once in command interpreting/executing mode, the RBicLiteTM will stay in this mode until power is removed, or a Start NOM (Start Normal Operation Mode) command is received. The START CM command is used as an interlock mechanism to prevent a spurious entry into command mode on power up. The first command received within the 6ms window of POR must be a START CM command to enter into command interpreting mode. Any other commands will be ignored.
2.3 Command/Data Pair Encoding The 16-bit command/data stream sent to the RBicLiteTM can be broken into four 4-bit nibbles. The most significant nibble encodes the command. The 2nd nibble is reserved for possible future expansion, and should be sent as "0x0". The last two nibbles encode the data byte. Command nibble: 0H 2H Data: 0XXH 0YXH Description: Read EEPROM Command via SIGTM pin. Enter Test Mode (Subset of command mode for testing purpose only): SIGTM pin will assume the value of different internal test points, depending on most significant nibble of data sent. Y = 0H => Internal oscillator Y = 1H => 2.5V reference Y = 2H => PTAT Y = 3H => Pre-Amp Output+ Y = 4H => Scan Mode (SDO* routed to SIG TM pin, part goes into Clock Override Mode and Scan Mode) Y = 5H => DAC Ramp testmode. Gain_b[13:3] contains the starting point, and the increment is (offset_b/8). The increment will be added every 125usec. Y = 6-7H => Part goes into Clock Override Mode. Y = 8-FH => Undefined.

RBicLiteTM Low-Cost Sensor Signal Conditioner
Datasheet Calibration Sequence: Although the RBicLiteTM can function with many different types of resistive bridges, assume it is connected to a pressure bridge for the following calibration example. In this case, calibration essentially involves collecting raw bridge and temperature data from the RBicLiteTM for different known pressures and temperatures. This raw data can then be processed by the calibration master (the PC), and the calculated coefficients can then be written to the EEPROM of the RBicLiteTM. ZMDA can provide software and hardware with samples to perform the calibration. There are three main steps to calibration: 1. Assigning a unique identification to the IC. This identification is programmed in EEPROM and can be used as an index into the database stored on the calibration PC. This database will contain all the raw values of bridge readings and temp reading for that part, as well as the known pressure and temperature the bridge was exposed to. This unique identification can be stored in a combination of the following EEPROM registers TSETL, Tcg, Tco. These registers will be overwritten at the end of the calibration process, so this unique identification is not a permanent serial number. 2. Data collection. Data collection involves getting raw data from the bridge at different known pressures and temperatures. This data is then stored on the calibration PC using the unique identification of the IC as the index to the database. 3. Coefficient calculation and write. Once enough data points have been collected to calculate all the desired coefficients then the coefficients can be calculated by the calibrating PC and written to the IC. Step 1 Assigning Unique Identification Assigning a unique identification number is as simple as using the commands Program TSETL, Program Tcg, and Program Tco. These 3 8-bit registers will allow for 16Meg unique devices. In addition Gain_B needs to be programmed to 800H (unity) and Gain_T needs to be programmed to 80H (unity). Step 2 Data Collection The number of different unique (pressure, temperature) points that calibration needs to be performed at depends on the customer's needs. The minimum is a 2-point calibration, and the maximum is a 5-point calibration. To acquire raw data from the part one has to get RBicLiteTM to enter Raw Mode. This is done by issuing a Start CM (Start Command Mode 5000H) command to the IC followed by a Start RM (Start Raw Mode 4010H) command with the LSB of the upper data nibble set. Now if the Gain_B term was set to unity (800H) and the Gain_T term was also set to unity (80H) then the part will be in the Raw Mode and will be outputting raw data on its SIGTM pin instead of corrected bridge and temperature. The calibration system should now grab several of these data points (16 each of bridge and temperature is recommended) and average them. These raw bridge and temperature setting should be stored in the database along with the known pressure and temperature. The ouput format during Raw Mode is Bridge_High, Bridge_Low, Temp. Each of these being 8-bit quantities. The upper 2-bits of Bridge_High are zero filled. The Temp data (8-bits only) would not really be enough info for accurate temperature calibration. Therefore the upper three bits of temp information are not given, but rather assumed known. Therefore effectively 11-bits of temperature information is provided in this mode.

Datasheet Step 3 Coefficient Calculations The math to perform the coefficient calculation is very complicated and will not be discussed in detail. There is a rough overview in the "Calibration Math" section. Rather ZMDA will provide software to perform the coefficient calculation. ZMDA can also provide source code of the algorithms in a C code format. Once the coefficients are calculated the final step is to write them to the EEPROM of the RBicLiteTM. The number of calibration points required can be as few as two or as many as five. This depends on the precision desired, and the behavior of the resistive bridge in use. 1. 2-point calibration would be used if one simply wanted a gain and offset term for a bridge with no temperature compensation for either term. 2. 3-point calibration would be used if one wanted to have 1st order compensation for the Tco. 3. 3-point calibration could also be used if one wanted 2nd order correction for the bridge, but no temperature compensation of the bridge output. 4. 4-point calibration would be used if one wanted 1st order compensation for both Tco and Tcg. 5. 4-point calibration could also be used if one wanted 1st order compensation for the Tco and 2nd order correction for the bridge measurement. 6. 5-point calibration would be used if one wanted both 1st order Tco correction and 1st order Tcg correction, plus a 2nd order correction that could be applied to one and only one of the following: 2nd order Tco, 2nd order Tcg, or 2nd order bridge.

Datasheet 2.5.2.1 Gain_B interpretation Gain_B should be interpreted as a number in the set [0,8). The MSB (bit 14) is a scaling bit that will multiply the effect of the Gain_B term by 8. The remaining bits (Gain_B[13:0]) represent a number in the range of [0,8) with Gain_B[13] having a weighting of 4, and each subsequent bit has a weighting of 1/2 the previous bit.

Weighting: 4 2 1

The binary number: 010010100110001 = 4.6489; The scaling number is 0 so there is no multiply by 8 of the number represented by Gain_B[13:0] The binary number: 101100010010110 = 24.586; The scaling number is 1 so there is a multiply by 8 of the number represented by Gain_B[13:0] Limitation: Using the 5-point calibration 5pt-Tcg&Tco&SOT_Tco (including the second order SOT_Tco), the Gain_B is limited to a value equal or less than 8 (instead of 64). 2.5.2.2 Offset_B Interpretation Offset_B is a 14-bit signed binary number in two's complement form. The MSB has a weighting of -8192. The following bits then have a weighting of: 4096, 2048, 1024, ...

2.5.2.7 SOT Interpretation SOT is a second order term that can apply to one and only one of the following: bridge non-linearity correction, Tco non-linearity correction, or Tcg non-linearity correction. As it applies to bridge non-linearity correction: The resolution is: 0.25% @ Full Scale The range is: +25% @ Full Scale to -25% @ Full Scale (Saturation in internal arithmetic will occur at greater negative non-linearities) Limitation: Using the 5-point calibration method for which SOT_BR is applied to the bridge measurement, there is a possibility of calibration math overflow. This only occurs if the sensor input exceeds 200% of the calibrated full span, which means the highest applied pressure should never go higher than this value.1 As it applies to Tcg: The resolution is: The range is: As it applies to Tco: 2 settings are possible. It is possible to scale the effect of SOT by 8. If Tc_cfg[1] is set, then both Tco and SOT's contribution to Tco are multiplied by 8.

Example of the Limitation When SOT is Applied to the Bridge Reading
This example of the limitation when SOT is applied to the bridge reading uses a pressure sensor bridge that outputs -10mv at the lowest pressure of interest. That point is calibrated to read 0%. The same sensor outputs +40mV at the highest pressure of interest. That point is calibrated to read 100%. This sensor has a 50mV span over the pressure range of interest. If the sensor were to experience an over-pressure event that took the sensor output up to 90mV (200% of span), the internal calculations could overflow. The result would be a corrected bridge reading that would not be saturated at 100% as expected but instead read a value lower than 100%. This problem only occurs when SOT is applied to correct the bridge reading.

Application Circuit Examples
Typical output analog load resistor RL= 10k (minimum 2.5k). This optional load resistor can be configured as a pull-up or pull-down. If it is configured as a pull-down, it cannot be part of the module to be calibrated because this would prevent proper operation of the ZACwireTM. If a pull-down load is desired, it must be added to system after module calibration. There is no output load capacitance needed.

No pull down resistor is allowed. If a line resistor or pull up resistor is used, the requirement for the rise time must be met ( 5 s). The IC output includes a pull up resistor of about 100k. The digital output can easily be read by firmware from a microcontroller and ZMD can provide the customer with software in developing the interface.

Note that the maximum calibration temperature is 85C. If buying die, designers should use caution not to exceed maximum junction temperature by proper package selection. Using the output for digital calibration, CL,OUT is limited by the maximum rise time TZAC,rise. Note: Minimum bridge resistance is only a factor if using the Bsink feature. The nominal RDS(ON) of the Bsink transistor is 10 when operating at VDD=5V, and 15 when operating at VDD=3.0V. This does give rise to a ratiometricity inaccuracy that becomes greater with low bridge resistances.
When using the output for digital calibration, no pull down resistor is allowed.

6.4 Analog Inputs RBic LiteTM incorporates an extended 14-bit charge-balanced ADC which allows for a single gain setting on the Pre-Amplifier to handle bridge sensitivities from 1.2 to 36mV/V while maintaining 8 to 12 bits of output resolution (default analog gain 24). The tables below illustrate the minimum resolution achievable for a variety of bridge sensitivities.

6.5 Temperature Compensation and Temperature Output A highly-linear Bandgap/PTAT circuit is used in order to produce a signal which can be used in compensation of the bridge over temperature. In addition, when digital mode is activated both bridge and temperature signals (8-bit temperature quantity) can be broadcast on the ZACwireTM pin.

RBicLiteTM Low-Cost Sensor Signal Conditioner
Datasheet 6.6 High Voltage Operation A linear regulator control circuit is included on the IC to interface with an external JFET to allow for operation in systems where the supply voltage exceeds 5.5V. This circuit can also be used for over-voltage protection. The regulator set point has a coarse adjust (EEPROM bit) that can adjust the set point around 5.0 or 5.5V. In addition, the 1V trim will also act as a fine adjust for the regulation set point. Note: If using the external JFET for over-voltage protection purposes (i.e., 5V at JFET drain and expecting 5V at JFET source), there will be a voltage drop across the JFET, thus ratiometricity will be compromised somewhat depending on the rds(on) of the chosen JFET. A Vishay J107 is the best choice that would produce only an 8mV drop worst case. If using as regulation instead of over-voltage, a MMBF4392 also works well.
