•
•
•
The LMP91050 device is a programmable integrated
Sensor Analog Front End (AFE) optimized for
thermopile sensors, as typically used in NDIR
applications. It provides a complete signal path
solution between a sensor and microcontroller that
generates an output voltage proportional to the
thermopile voltage. The programmability of the
LMP91050 enables it to support multiple thermopile
sensors with a single design as opposed to the
multiple discrete solutions.

Common-Mode Generator and 8-Bit DAC
Key Specifications
– Programmable Gain 167 to 7986 V/V
– Low Noise (0.1 to 10 Hz) 0.1 μVRMS
– Gain Drift 100 ppm/°C (Maximum)
– Phase Delay Drift 500 ns (Maximum)
– Power Supply Voltage Range 2.7 to 5.5 V
The LMP91050 features a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA), dark phase offset cancellation, and
an adjustable common-mode generator (1.15 V or
2.59 V) which increases output dynamic range. The
PGA offers a low-gain range of 167 V/V to 1335 V/V
plus a high-gain range of 1002 V/V to 7986 V/V which
enables the user to use thermopiles with different
sensitivities. The PGA is highlighted by low-gain drift
(100 ppm/°C), output offset drift (1.2 mV/°C at G =
1002 V/V), phase delay drift (500 ns) and noise
specifications (0.1 μVRMS 0.1 to 10Hz).

5 Description (continued)
The offset cancellation circuitry compensates for the dark signal by adding an equal and opposite offset to the
input of the second stage, thus removing the original offset from the output signal. This offset cancellation
circuitry allows optimized usage of the ADC full scale and relaxes ADC resolution requirements.
The LMP91050 allows extra signal filtering (high-pass, lowpass or bandpass) through dedicated pins A0 and A1,
in order to remove out of band noise. The user can program through the on board SPI interface. Available in a
small form factor 10-pin package, the LMP91050 operates from –40 to 105°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
For soldering specifications: see product folder at www.ti.com and SNOA549.
The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX), θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power
dissipation at any ambient temperature is PDMAX = (TJ(MAX) - TA)/ θJA All numbers apply for packages soldered directly onto a PC
board.

Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very
limited self-heating of the device such that TJ = TA. No ensured specification of parametric performance is indicated in the electrical
tables under conditions of internal self-heating where TJ > TA. Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate junction temperature limits beyond
which the device may be permanently degraded, either mechanically or electrically.
Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through correlations using
statistical quality control (SQC) method.
Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary
over time and will also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not ensured on shipped
production material.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The input channel of the LMP91050 features two programmable gain stages that give the user flexibility in
optimizing the system gain. Access to the inter-stage connection between the gain blocks also allows the
inclusion of appropriate filtering if needed. The internal DAC allows the DC offset of the output voltage to be
adjusted independently of the common-mode voltage supplied to the sensor, enabling the sampled signal to be
centered within the ADC full-scale input range.
The following paragraphs discuss the LMP91050’s features in more detail.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Programmable Gain Amplifier
The LMP91050 offers two programmable gain modes (low or high) with four programmable gain settings each.
The purpose of the gain mode is to enable thermopiles with larger dark voltage levels. All gain settings are
accessible through bits GAIN1 and GAIN2[1:0]. The low-gain mode has a range of 167 V/V to 1335 V/V while the
high-gain mode has a range of 1002 V/V to 7986 V/V. The PGA is referenced to the internally generated VCM.
Input signal, referenced to this VCM voltage, should be within ±2 mV (see VINMAX_HGM specification) in highgain mode. In the low gain mode the first stage will provide a gain of 42 V/V instead of 250 V/V, thus allowing a
larger maximum input signal up to ±12 mV (VINMAX_LGM).

8.3.2 External Filter
The LMP91050 offers two different measurement modes selectable through EXT_FILT bit. EXT_FILT bit is
present in the Device configuration register and is programmable through SPI.
Table 2. Measurement Modes
BIT SYMBOL
EXT_FILT
MEASUREMENT MODE
0: The signal from the thermopile is being processed by the internal PGAs, without
additional external decoupling or filtering (default).
1: The signal from the thermopile is being processed by the first internal PGA and fed to the A0
pin. An external low pass, high pass or band pass filter can be connected through pins A0, A1.
An external filter can be applied when EXT_FILT = 1. A typical band pass filter is shown in the picture below.
Resistor and capacitor can be connected to the CMOUT pin of the LMP91050 as shown. Discrete component
values have been added for reference.

8.3.3 Offset Adjust
Procedure of the offset adjust is to first measure the dark signal, program the DAC to adjust, and then measure
in a second cycle the residual of the dark signal for further signal manipulation within the µC. The signal source
is expected to have an offset component (dark signal) larger than the actual signal. During the dark phase, the
time when no light is detected by the sensor, the µC can program LMP91050 internal DAC to compensate for a
measured offset. A low output offset voltage temperature drift (TCVOS) ensures system accuracy over
temperature. See Figure 22 below which plots the maximum TCVOS allowed over a given temperature drift in
order to achieve n bit system accuracy.

8.3.4 Common-Mode Generation
As the offset of the sensor is bipolar, there is a need to supply a VCM to the sensor. This can be programmed as
1.15 V or 2.59 V (approximately mid rail of 3.3-V or 5-V supply). TI does not recommend to use 2.59-V VCM with
a 3.3-V supply
8.3.5 CSB
Chip Select is a active-low signal. CSB needs to be asserted throughout a transaction. That is, CSB should not
pulse between the Instruction Byte and the Data Byte of a single transaction.
NOTE
CSB de-assertion always terminates an on-going transaction, if it is not already complete.
Likewise, CSB assertion will always bring the device into a state, ready for next
transaction, regardless of the termination status of a previous transaction.
CSB may be permanently tied low for a 2-wire SPI communication protocol.
8.3.5.1 SCLK
SCLK can idle High or Low for a write transaction. However, for a READ transaction, SCLK must idle high. SCLK
features a Schmitt-triggered input and although it has hysterisis, TI recommends to keep SCLK as clean as
possible to prevent glitches from inadvertently spoiling the SPI frame.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
To read the registers of the LMP91050, the SDIO mode enable register must be written using a special
sequence, as described in the SDIO Mode section. During the reading process, the analog OUT pin is still active,
as normal. There are no other special modes for the device.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 SPI Interface
An SPI interface is available in order to program the device parameters like PGA gain of two stages, enabling
external filter, enabling power for PGAs, offset adjust and common-mode (VCM) voltage.
8.5.1.1 Interface Pins
The Serial Interface consists of SDIO (Serial Data Input / Output), SCLK (Serial Interface Clock) and CSB (Chip
Select Bar). The serial interface is write-only by default. Read operations are supported after unlocking the
SDIO_MODE_PASSWD. This is discussed in detail later in the document.

For Read transactions, user first needs to write into a SDIO mode enable register for enabling the SPI read
mode. Once the device is enabled for Reading, the data is driven out on the SDIO pin during the Data field of the
Read Transaction. SDIO pin is designed as a bidirectional pin for this purpose. Figure 24 shows the Read
transaction. The sequence of commands that need to be issued by the SPI Master to enable SPI read mode is
shown in Figure 25.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements for using the LMP91050 in an application basically include the following:
• Determine the characteristics of the thermopile and the appropriate gain and common mode voltage that will
maximize the dynamic range of the sensor. Consult the manufacturer’s data sheet.
• Selecting an analog-to-digital converter that supports the needed resolution and update rate.
• Determining the bandwidth of the inter-stage low-pass filter to limit the noise imposed on the signal
• An SPI interface to a microcontroller or other logic device is required in order to configure the LMP91050.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The basic design procedure is as follows:
• Select the appropriate inter-stage bandpass filter bandwidth. Note that the common mode voltage (CMOUT)
is connected to both the thermopile and the bandpass filter, as shown in Figure 26.
• TI recommends that a lowpass filter be inserted between the OUT pin and the input to the ADC, to further
reduce noise on the signal and prevent aliasing.
• Power supply bypassing as shown in figure 32 is recommended.
• Based on the thermopile characteristics, select the common-mode voltage and gain to be programmed into
the LMP91050. CMOUT should be selected to center the expected dynamic range of the thermopile within
the full scale range of the ADC to the best extent possible. The gain should be selected to maximize the

signal range at the ADC input, but should allow some headroom below full scale to prevent clipping. The gain
should also compensate, if possible, for any loss due to the filters in the signal path.
The internal DAC can be programmed to further optimize the signal range on the OUT pin. See Offset Adjust
for further information.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Because the LMP91050 is used in a sampled data system, care must be taken to maintain power supply noise
below an acceptable level, which will depend on the requirements of the application. In all cases, follow the
manufacturer’s design recommendations for the power conditioning device used in the system. The LMP91050
offers excellent power supply rejection over a wide range of frequencies, but adequate power supply bypassing
should always be used (see Figure 26). If using a switching supply, additional filtering may be required
particularly if the switcher harmonics fall within the passband of the filters used in the system. Ensure that the
selected power conditioning device is capable of sourcing the current required by the LMP91050.
