The sensor supports standard I2C (Inter-IC) bus protocol. Further information about the I2C
interface can be found at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf . I2C is a
serial 8-bit protocol with two-wire interface that supports communication between different
ICs, for example, between microcontrollers and other peripheral devices.
4.1 General characteristics
A serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) are required for the communication
between the devices connected via I2C bus. Both SDA and SCL lines are bidirectional. The
output stages of devices connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector.
Hence, the SDA and SCL lines are connected to a positive supply voltage via pull-up resistors. In I2C protocol, the communication is realized through master-slave principle. A master
device generates the clock pulse, a start command and a stop command for the data transfer. Each connected device on the bus is addressable via a unique address. Master and
slave can act as a transmitter or a receiver depending upon whether the data needs to be
sent or received.
This sensor behaves like a slave device on the I2C bus.
The positive supply voltage to which SDA and SCL lines are pulled up (through pull-up
resistors), in turn determines the high level input for the slave devices. The logic high ’1’ and
logic low ’0’ levels for the SDA and SCL lines then depend on the VDD. Input reference levels
for this sensor are set as 0.8 * VDD (for logic high) and 0.2 * VDD (for logic low). Explained
in the figure3.
Figure 3: SDA and SCL logic levels
4.3 Communication phase
4.3.1 Idle state
During the idle state, the bus is free and both SDA and SCL lines are in logic high ’1’ state.
4.3.2 START(S) and STOP(P) condition
Data transfer on the bus starts with a START command, which is generated by the master.
A start condition is defined as a high-to-low transition on the SDA line while the SCL line is
held high. The bus is considered busy after the start condition.
Data transfer on the bus is terminated with a STOP command, which is also generated by
the master. A low-to-high transition on the SDA line, while the SCL line being high is defined
as a STOP condition. After the stop condition, the bus is again considered free and is in idle
state. Figure4shows the I2C bus START and STOP conditions.
Master can also send a REPEATED START (SR) command instead of STOP command.
REPEATED START condition is the same as the START condition.
After the start condition, one data bit is transferred with each clock pulse. The transmitted
data is only valid when the SDA line data is stable (high or low) during the high period of the
clock pulse. High or low state of the data line can only change when clock pulse is in low
state.
Figure 4: Data validity, START and STOP condition
4.3.4 Byte format
Data transmission on the SDA line is always done in bytes, with each byte being 8-bits long.
Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) followed by other bits.
If the slave cannot receive or transmit another complete byte of data, it can force the master
into a wait state by holding SCL low. Data transfer continues when the slave is ready which
is indicated by releasing the SCL line.
4.3.5 Acknowledge(ACK) and No-Acknowledge(NACK)
Each byte sent on the data line must be followed by an Acknowledge bit. The receiver (master or slave) generates an Acknowledge signal to indicate that the data byte was received
successfully and another data byte could be sent.
After one byte is transmitted, the master generates an additional Acknowledge clock pulse
to continue the data transfer. The transmitter releases the SDA line during this clock pulse
so that the receiver can pull the SDA line to low state in such a way that the SDA line
remains stable low during the entire high period of the clock pulse. This is considered as an
Acknowledge signal.
In case the receiver does not want to receive any further byte, it does not pull down the SDA
line and it remains in stable high state during the entire clock pulse. This is considered as
a No-Acknowledge signal and the master can generate either a stop condition to terminate
the data transfer or a repeated start condition to initiate a new data transfer.
The slave address is transmitted after the start condition. Each device on the I2C bus has a
unique address. Master selects the slave by sending corresponding address after the start
condition. A slave address is 7 bits long followed by a Read/Write bit.
Depending on the connection of the SAO pin, the 7-bit slave address for this sensor can
either be 0111000b or 0111111b. When SAO is connected to positive supply voltage, the
7-bit slave address is 0111000b (0x38). If SAO is connected to ground, 7-bit slave address
is 0111111b (0x3F).
The R/W bit determines the data direction. A ’0’ indicates a write operation (transmission
from master to slave) and a ’1’ indicates a read operation (data request from slave).
Once the slave-address and data direction bit is sent, the slave acknowledges the master.
The next byte sent by the master must be a register-address of the sensor. This indicates
the address of the register where data needs to be written to or read from.
Figure 5: Complete data transfer
After receiving the register address, the slave sends an Acknowledgement (ACK). If the
master is still writing to the slave (R/W bit = 0), it will transmit the data to slave in the same
direction. If the master wants to read from the addressed register (R/W bit =1), a repeated
start (SR) condition must be sent to the slave. Master acknowledges the slave after receiving
each data byte. If the master no longer wants to receive further data from the slave, it would
send No-Acknowledge (NACK). Afterwards, Master can send a STOP condition to terminate
the data transfer. Figure6shows the writing and reading procedures between the master
and the slave device (sensor).
Figure 7: Application circuit with I2C interface (sensor bottom view)
VDD pin is the central supply pin for the MEMS cell and internal circuits. In order to prevent
ripple from the power supply, a decoupling capacitor of 100 nF must be placed as close to
the VDD pad of the sensor as possible. An optional decoupling capacitor (4.7 µF) could be
placed parallel to the 100 nF capacitor.
Figure7shows a typical application circuit for I2C communication. Least significant bit of
the 7-bit slave address can be modified based on the status of the SAO pin. When SAO is
connected to VDD, the 7-bit slave address is 0x38 (0111000b). Refer to table7for more
information. SCL and SDA must be connected to VDD through the pull-up resistors. Proper
value of the pull-up resistors must be chosen depending on the I2C bus speed and load.
INT pin is an open drain output and must be connected to VDD via pull-up resistors when
used.
The sensor is powered up when supply voltage is applied to VDD. During the power up
sequence, it is recommended to keep the I2C interface pins in the high impedance state
from the host controller side.
Wait at least 12 ms before accessing the internal registers after the device is
powered on.
6.2 Communication with host controller
Communication with the host controller via I2C interface can be checked by reading the
DEVICE_ID register (0x01). Device ID for this sensor is 0xA0.
Figure 8: Communication check between host controller and the sensor
The sensor can be configured in the following three different modes
1. Power down mode
2. Single conversion mode
3. Continuous mode
6.6 Power-down mode
The power-down mode can be configured by setting the bit FREERUN in CTRL register
(0x04) to ’0’.
In power-down mode, the digital chain that samples the temperature data is turned off. New
measurement is not performed during this mode. Hence, the temperature data registers are
not updated. The temperature data registers contain the last sampled temperature value
before going into power-down mode. Current consumption is at the minimum during this
mode.
However, serial communication with the host controller via I2C bus is still possible. This
allows the user to configure the device by accessing the control registers and temperature
threshold registers.
Sensor is in power-down mode by default after the power-up sequence.
Before changing the operating mode or the ODR, the device must be first configured into power down mode.
In this mode, a single measurement of temperature is performed according to the request of
the host controller. This mode can be activated when the sensor is in the power-down mode.
When ONE_SHOT bit of CTRL register (0x04) is set to ’1’, the digital chain is turned on, data
conversion starts and a single measurement of temperature is acquired. This measurement
data is written to the temperature data registers. Afterwards, the digital chain is turned off
again and the sensor enters the power-down mode. Bit BUSY in STATUS register stays ’1’
during the measurement is in progress. Temperature data registers are not updated until the
host controller requests another data acquisition. This mode is useful when the application
demands reduced power consumption.
Before requesting a new temperature data through ONE_SHOT bit, a software
reset procedure must be performed each time.
During this mode the output data rate (ODR) of the sensor depends on the new measurement request from the host controller (frequency at which the ONE_SHOT bit is set to ’1’).
Single conversion mode can be used for measurement frequencies up to 1 Hz
Figure 11: Application circuit with I2C interface (sensor bottom view)
The sensor is configured in the continuous mode when the FREERUN bit of CTRL register
(0x04) is set to ’1’. The continuous mode constantly samples new temperature measurements and writes the data to the temperature data registers.The measurement rate is
defined by the user selectable output data rate (ODR) which can be set by AVG[1:0] bits of
CTRL register. Selectable ODR and corresponding register settings are shown in the table9.
Once the device is configured in one of the operating modes, temperature values are sampled and stored in the temperature data registers, available for the user to read.
It is recommended to read the data registers starting from the lower address
to the higher address.
Temperature values are stored in the two data registers: DATA_T_L (0x06) and DATA_T_H
(0x07). Each register contains 8-bits data. The complete temperature data is a 16-bit signed
2’s complement word. This can be obtained by concatenating the two 8-bit temperature
data registers: DATA_T_H & DATA_T_L, with DATA_T_H being most significant byte andDATA_T_L being least significant byte.
After calculating the 16-bit digital temperature value, it must be multiplied with the sensitivity
parameter, SENT(see table4) in order to obtain the corresponding temperature in SI unit
(°C).
Step 1: Reading raw data from the two temperature data registers
1. DATA_T_L (0x06)
2. DATA_T_H (0x07)
Step 2: Concatenating the temperature data registers to obtain complete 16-bit temperature
value
T
= DATA_T_H & DATA_T_L
16bit
Step 3: Obtaining temperature value in SI unit [°C] by multiplying with sensitivity parameter
The sensor has a dedicated interrupt generator, which generates an interrupt event based
on user defined threshold temperatures. Following two interrupt events are generated
• Temperature high
• Temperature low
Threshold temperatures for the temperature high and low limit interrupt events are defined in
two 8 bit interrupt registers, TEMP_H_LIMIT (0x02) and TEMP_L_LIMIT (0x03) respectively.
If both the registers are ’0’, the interrupt generation is disabled.
Threshold Temperature (°C) = (TEMP_x_LIMIT - 63) ×0.64
The temperature threshold value in °C is calculated based on the formula above. The threshold value ranges from -39.68°C to 122.88°C with the step value of 0.64°C.
When enabled, temperature high and low interrupts are routed to the INT pin
of the sensor. The status of the interrupt event can be monitored through the
STATUS (0x05) register.
The sensor has a dedicated INT pin, to which the interrupt events are routed. The open
drain INT pin is asserted to low state when the measured temperature has exceeded the
user-defined temperature high-limit or fallen below the temperature low-limit. Even if the
temperature falls back between the high and low limits, the INT pin will remain asserted.
The INT pin is de-asserted, once the STATUS(0x05) is read. If the triggering condition is still
true, the INT pin will be re-asserted at the next temperature conversion.
The INT pin is an open drain output. When used, the pin must be connected
to VDD via a pull-up resistor.
Figure 13: Interrupt output
The interrupt event status can also be monitored through UNDER_TLL and OVER_THL
flags in the STATUS (0x05) registers. UNDER_TLL and OVER_THL flags are automatically
set to ’0’, once the STATUS (0x05) register is read.
Writing to reserved registers may cause permanent damage to the device.
Register addresses not listed in the above table, must not be accessed and
content must not be modified.
While reading the output data, this feature can be enabled to inhibit the values of data
registers to be updated until all bytes of temperature data registers have been read.
This feature should be enabled when the reading of the data is slower than the output data
rate (ODR). By default, the BDU bit is set to ’0’ and data registers are updated continuously.
When BDU feature is enabled, reading of the temperature values sampled at different times
can be avoided.
For example, when reading of the register DATA_T_L is initialized, the remaining part of the
temperature data registers DATA_T_H is not updated until both bytes (L and H) have been
read.
It is strongly recommended to enable BDU feature. This avoids an update of
the DATA_T_x registers until all the parts of the corresponding DATA_T registers have been read.
If BDU feature is enabled, DATA_T_L register must be read first.
The sensor product is categorized as JEDEC Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1), which requires special handling.
More information regarding the MSL requirements can be found in the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020
standard on www.jedec.org. More information about the handling, picking, shipping and the
usage of moisture/re-flow and/or process sensitive products can be found in the IPC/JEDEC
J-STD-033 standard on www.jedec.org.
12.2 Soldering
12.2.1 Reflow soldering
Attention must be paid on the thickness of the solder resist between the host PCB top
side and the modules bottom side. Only lead-free assembly is recommended according
to JEDEC J-STD020.
It is recommended to solder the sensor on the last re-flow cycle of the PCB. For solder paste
use a LFM-48W or Indium based SAC 305 alloy (Sn 96.5 / Ag 3.0 / Cu 0.5 / Indium 8.9HF /
Type 3 / 89%) type 3 or higher.
The reflow profile must be adjusted based on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB,
heat transfer efficiency of the re-flow oven and the specific type of solder paste used. Based
on the specific process and PCB layout the optimal soldering profile must be adjusted and
verified. Other soldering methods (e.g. vapor phase) have not been verified and have to be
validated by the customer at their own risk. Rework is not recommended.
