GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1192 is an integrated current sense amplifier that
offers digital current and voltage monitoring via an on-chip
12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated
through an I
An internal current sense amplifier measures voltage across the
sense resistor in the power path via the VCC pin and the SENSE pin.
A 12-bit ADC can measure the current seen in the sense resistor
and in the supply voltage on the VCC pin. An industry-standard
2
I
C interface allows a controller to read current and voltage
data from the ADC. Measurements can be initiated by an I
command. Alternatively, the ADC can run continuously, and
the user can read the latest conversion data whenever it is
required. Up to four unique I
depending on the way the ADR pin is connected.
A SETV pin is also included. A voltage applied to this pin is
internally compared with the output voltage on the current sense
amplifier. The output of the SETV comparator asserts when the
current sense amplifier output exceeds the SETV voltage. This
event is detected at the ALERT block. The ALERT block then
charges up the external TIMER capacitor with a fixed current.
When this timing cycle is complete, the ALERT output asserts.

The ALERT output can be used as a flag to warn a microcontroller or field programmable gate array (FPGA) of an
overcurrent condition. ALERT outputs of multiple ADM1192
devices can be tied together and used as a combined alert.
A basic P-channel FET hot swap circuit can be implemented
with the ALERT output. The value of the TIMER capacitor
should be set so that the charging time of this capacitor is much
longer than the period during which a higher than nominal
inrush current may be flowing.
The ADM1192 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP.

PIN CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Figure 3. Pin Configuration
Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 VCC Positive Supply Input Pin. The operating supply voltage range is 3.15 V to 26 V. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
circuit resets the ADM1192 when a low supply voltage is detected.
2 SENSE Current Sense Input Pin. A sense resistor between the VCC pin and the SENSE pin generates a voltage across
a sense resistor. This voltage is proportional to the load current. A current sense amplifier amplifies this
voltage before it is digitized by the ADC.
3 SETV Input Pin. The voltage driven onto this pin is compared with the output of the internal current sense amplifier.
The lower the voltage on the SETV, the lower the current level that causes the ALERT output to assert. Typical
response time is 1 µs to 2 µs.
4 GND Chip Ground Pin.
5 TIMER Timer Input Pin. An external capacitor, C
, sets the timing period for masking overcurrent conditions. This
TIMER
timing period should be sufficient to allow the inrush current to completely charge up the load without
tripping an overcurrent fault. This makes the device robust against false triggering due to current transients.
6 SCL I2C Clock Pin. Open-drain input; requires an external resistive pull-up.
7 SDA I2C Data I/O Pin. Open-drain input/output; requires an external resistive pull-up.
8 ADR I2C Address Pin. This pin can be tied low, tied high, left floating, or tied low through a resistor to set four I2C
addresses.
9 CLRB Clear Pin. A latched overcurrent condition can be cleared by pulling this pin low.
10 ALERT Alert Output Pin. Active high, open-drain configuration. This pin asserts high when an overcurrent condition
is present. The level at which an overcurrent condition is detected depends on either the voltage on the SETV
pin or the value in the ALERT_TH register. The ALERT_EN register determines which is used in the comparison.
This pin has a latching function and must be cleared manually using the ALERT_EN register.

VOLTAGE AND CURRENT READBACK
The ADM1192 contains the components to allow voltage and
current readback over an I
2
C bus. The voltage output of the
current sense amplifier and the voltage on the VCC pin are fed
into a 12-bit ADC via a multiplexer. The device can be instructed
to convert voltage and/or current at any time during operation
2
via an I
C command. When all conversions are complete, the
voltage and/or current values can be read back with 12-bit
accuracy in two or three bytes.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADM1192 is carried out via the serial system
management bus (I
fast mode (400 kHz maximum). The ADM1192 is connected to
this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master device.
2
C). This interface is compatible with the I2C
IDENTIFYING THE ADM1192 ON THE I2C BUS
The ADM1192 has a 7-bit serial bus slave address. When the
device powers up, it does so with a default serial bus address.
The five MSBs of the address are set to 01011; the two LSBs are
determined by the state of the ADR pin. There are four configurations available on the ADR pin that correspond to four I
2
C
addresses for the two LSBs (see Tab l e 5). This scheme allows four
ADM1192 devices to operate on a single I
2
C bus.
GENERAL I2C TIMING
Figure 18 and Figure 19 show timing diagrams for general write
and read operations using the I
conditions for different types of read and write operations, which
are discussed in the Write and Read Operations section. The
general I
2
C 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 a data stream is to 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
slave address (MSB first) plus an R/
direction of the data transfer, that is, whether data is written to
or read from the slave device (0 = write, 1 = read).
Table 5. Setting I
Base Address ADR Pin State ADR Pin Logic State Address in Binary1 Address in Hex
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, and holding it low during the high period
of this clock pulse. All other devices on the bus now remain
idle while the selected device waits for data to be read from
it or written to it. If the R/
the slave device. If the R/
W
bit is 0, the master writes to
W
bit is 1, the master reads 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 slave device. 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 transition
when the clock is high can be interpreted as a stop signal.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after
the slave address is a command byte. This tells the slave
device what to expect next. It can be an instruction, such as
telling the slave device to expect a block write, or it can be
a register address that tells the slave where subsequent data
is to be written.
Because data can flow in only one direction, as defined by
W
the R/
bit, it is not possible to send a command to a slave
device during a read operation. Before performing a read
operation, it may be necessary to first execute a write
operation to tell the slave what sort of read operation to
expect and/or the address from which data is to be read.
3. When all data bytes are read or written, stop conditions are
established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line
high during the 10
th
clock pulse to assert a stop condition.
In read mode, the master device releases the SDA line
during the SCL low period before the ninth clock pulse,
but the slave device does not pull it low. This is known as a
no acknowledge. The master then takes the data line low
during the SCL low period before the 10
then high during the 10
th
clock pulse to assert a stop
th
clock pulse, and
condition.

WRITE AND READ OPERATIONS
The I2C specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The operations used in the

N No acknowledge
QUICK COMMAND
The quick command operation allows the master to check if the
slave is present on the bus, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.
WRITE COMMAND BYTE
In the write command byte operation, the master device sends
a command byte to the slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4. The master sends the command byte. The command byte
is identified by an MSB = 0. An MSB = 1 indicates an
extended register write (see the Write Extended Command
Byte section).
5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.

The seven LSBs of the command byte are used to configure and
control the ADM1192. Tab l e 7 provides details of the function
of each bit.

C4 0 VRANGE Selects different internal attenuation resistor networks for voltage readback. A 0 in C4 selects a 14:1
voltage divider. A 1 in C4 selects a 7:2 voltage divider. With an ADC full scale of 1.902 V, the voltage at the
VCC pin for an ADC full-scale result is 26.52 V for VRANGE = 0 and 6.65 V for VRANGE = 1.
C5 0 Not applicable Unused.
C6 0 STATUS_RD Status Read. When this bit is set, the data byte read back from the ADM1192 is the status byte. This

WRITE EXTENDED COMMAND BYTE
In the write extended command byte operation, the master
device writes to one of the three extended registers of the slave
device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4. The master sends the register address byte. The MSB of this
byte is set to 1 to indicate an extended register write. The two
LSBs indicate which of the three extended registers are to be
written to (see Tabl e 8). All other bits should be set to 0.
5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
6. The master sends the extended command byte (refer to
Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11).
Table 9. ALERT_EN Register Operations
Bit Default Name Function
0 0 EN_ADC_OC1 LSB, enabled if a single ADC conversion on the I channel exceeds the threshold set in the ALERT_TH register.
1 0 EN_ADC_OC4 Enabled if four consecutive ADC conversions on the I channel exceed the threshold set in the
ALERT_TH register.
2 1 EN_OC_ALERT Enables the OC_ALERT register. If an overcurrent condition is present compared to the SETV threshold, and
the TIMER pin charges to 1.3 V, the OC_ALERT register captures and latches this condition.
7. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.
Figure 23. Write Extended Byte
Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11 provide the details of each
extended register.
This allows a software override of the ALERT output and turns on a P-channel FET controlled by ALERT.
4 0 CLEAR Clears the OC_ALERT and ADC_ALERT status bits in the status register. The value of these bits can

READ VOLTAGE AND/OR CURRENT DATA BYTES
Depending on how the device is configured, the ADM1192 can
be set up to provide information in three ways after a conversion
(or conversions): voltage and current readback, voltage only
readback, and current only read back. See the Write Command
Byte section for more details.
Voltage and Current Readback
The ADM1192 digitizes both voltage and current. Three bytes
are read back in the format shown in Ta ble 12.

Current Readback
The ADM1192 digitizes current only. Two bytes are read back
in the format shown in Table 14.
The following series of events occurs when the master receives
three bytes (voltage and current data) from the slave device:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
read bit (high).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4. The master receives the first data byte.
5. The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
6. The master receives the second data byte.
7. The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
8. The master receives the third data byte.
9. The master asserts a no acknowledge on SDA.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and the
transaction ends.

For cases where the master is reading voltage only or current
only, two data bytes are read and Step 7 and Step 8 are not required.

Converting ADC Codes to Voltage and Current Readings
Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to convert ADC codes
representing voltage and current from the ADM1175 12-bit
ADC into actual voltage and current values.
Voltage = (V
/4096) × Code(1)
FULLSCALE
where:
V
= 6.65 V (7:2 range) or 26.52 V (14:1 range).
FULLSCALE
Code is the ADC voltage code read from the device
(Bit V11 to Bit V0).
Current = ((I
/4096) × Code)/Sense Resistor(2)
FULLSCALE
where:
I
FULLSCALE
= 105.84 mV.
Code is the ADC current code read from the device
(Bit I11 to Bit I0).
Read Status Register
A single register of status data can also be read from the
ADM1192 as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the
read bit (high).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
4. The master receives the status byte.
5. The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
Figure 26. Status Read from ADM1192
Table 15 shows the ADM1192 STATUS registers in detail. Note
that Bit 1, Bit 3, and Bit 5 are cleared by writing to Bit 4 (the
CLEAR bit) of the ALERT_EN register.

Bit Name Function
0 ADC_OC An ADC-based overcurrent comparison has been detected on the last three conversions.
1 ADC_ALERT An ADC-based overcurrent trip has occurred, causing the alert. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.
2 OC An overcurrent condition is present (that is, the output of the current sense amplifier is greater than the voltage on the
SETV input).
3 OC_ALERT An overcurrent condition has caused the ALERT block to latch a fault, and the ALERT output has asserted. Cleared by
writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.
4 OFF_STATUS Set to 1 by writing to the SWOFF bit of the CONTROL register.
5 OFF_ALERT An alert has been caused by the SWOFF bit. Cleared by writing to Bit 4 of the ALERT_EN register.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ALERT OUTPUT
The ALERT output is an open-drain pin with 30 V tolerance.
There are two uses for this output.
Overcurrent Flag
The ALERT pin can be connected to the general-purpose logic
input of a controller. During normal operation, the ADM1192
drives this output low. When an overcurrent condition occurs,
the output asserts high. An external pull-up resistor should be
used. This pin is configured by default to trigger the SETV
threshold at power-up.
SETV PIN
The SETV pin allows the user to adjust the current level that
trips the ALERT output. The output of the current sense amplifier
is compared with the voltage driven onto the SETV pin. If the
current sense amplifier output is higher than the SETV voltage,
the output of the comparator asserts. By driving a different voltage
onto the SETV pin, the ADM1192 detects an overcurrent condition
at a different current level, with a gain of 18. See Figure 12 for
an illustration of this relationship.
Figure 27. Using the ALERT Output as an Interrupt
Implementing a Basic Hot Swap Circuit
A basic P-channel FET hot swap circuit can be created. The
ALERT output should be connected to the GATE pin of a Pchannel FET connected in series with the power path. A pull-up
from GATE to source ensures that the P-channel FET GATE is
pulled up and the device held off as soon as power is applied.
When the ADM1192 powers up, the GATE is pulled low by the
ALERT output. A capacitor on the TIMER pin determines the
slew rate of the GATE pin at startup. Note that if a current fault
occurs during the operation, the ALERT output asserts high,
turning off the P-channel FET.
Rev. C | Page 16 of 20
Figure 28. P-Channel FET Hot Swap Implementation
Figure 29. SETV Operation
When the output of the SETV comparator asserts, this tells the
ALERT block to begin charging the external TIMER capacitor
with a 60 μA charging current. When the voltage on the TIMER
capacitor reaches 1 V, the charging cycle is complete. The ALERT
output then asserts (goes high). Different values of TIMER
capacitor generate different time delays between current faults
occurring and the ALERT output asserting. When using the
ALERT output to implement a hot swap circuit, the TIMER
capacitor should be chosen to generate a large enough startup
delay to allow the maximum inrush current to completely
charge up the load without tripping an ALERT fault.

KELVIN SENSE RESISTOR CONNECTION
When using a low value sense resistor for high current
measurement, the problem of parasitic series resistance can arise.
The pad and solder resistance can be a substantial fraction of the
rated resistance, making the total resistance larger than expected.
This error problem can be largely avoided by using a Kelvin
sense connection. This type of connection separates the high
current path through the resistor and the voltage drop across the
resistor. A four pad resistor may be used or a split pad layout can be
used with a two pad sense resistor to achieve Kelvin sensing.
