The TC77 is a serially accessible digital temperature
sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from
the internal thermal sensing element and made available at anytime as a 13-bit two’s compliment digital
word. Communication with the TC77 is accomplished
via a SPI and MICROWIRE compatible interface. It has
a 12-bit plus sign temperature resolution of 0.0625°C
per Least Significant Bit (LSb). The TC77 offers a temperature accuracy of ±1.0°C (max.) over the temperature range of +25°C to +65°C. When operating, the
TC77 consumes only 250 µA (typ.). The TC77’s Configuration register can be used to activate the low
power Shutdown mode, which has a current consumption of only 0.1 µA (typ.). Small size, low cost and ease
of use make the TC77 an ideal choice for implementing
thermal management in a variety of systems.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TC77 consists of a band-gap type temperature
sensor, a 12-bit plus sign (13-bit) Sigma-Delta Analogto-Digital Converter (ADC), an internal conversion
oscillator (~30 kHz) and a serial input/output port.
These devices feature a three-wire serial interface that
is fully compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE specifications and, therefore, allows simple communications
with common microcontrollers and processors. The
Shutdown mode can be used to reduce supply current
for power sensitive applications. A Manufacturer’s ID
register identifies the TC77 as a Microchip Technology
product.

Temperature Data Format

A 13-bit two’s complement digital word is used to represent the temperature. The Least Significant Bit (LSb)
is equal to 0.0625°C. Note that the last two LSb bits (Bit
0 and 1) are tri-stated and are represented as a logic ‘1’
in the table. Bit 2 is set to logic ‘1’ after the completion
of the first temperature conversion following a powerup or voltage reset event.

An over-temperature condition can be determined by
reading only the first few Most Significant Bits (MSb) of
the temperature data. For example, the microprocessor
could read only the first four bits of the Temperature
register in order to determine that an over-temperature
condition exists.
3.2
Power-Up And Power-Down
The TC77 is in the Continuous Temperature Conversion mode at power-up. The first valid temperature conversion will be available approximately 300 ms (refer to
“Temperature to Bits Converter” section listed in the DC
characteristics table) after power-up. Bit 2 of the Temperature register is set to a logic ‘1’ after the completion
of the first temperature conversion following a powerup or voltage reset event. Bit 2 is set to logic ‘0’ during
the time needed to complete the first temperature conversion. Thus, the status of bit 2 can be monitored to
indicate the completion of the first temperature conversion.
A supply voltage lower than 1.6V (typ.) is considered a
power-down state for the TC77. The device will reset
itself and continue its normal Continuous Conversion
mode of operation when the supply voltage rises above
the nominal 1.6V. A minimal supply voltage of 2.7V is
required in order to ensure proper operation of the
device.
2002-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
Serial Bus Interface
The serial interface consists of the Chip Select (CS),
Serial Clock (SCK) and Serial Data (SI/O) signals. The
TC77 meets the SPI and MICROWIRE bus specifications, with the serial interface designed to be compatible with the Microchip PIC® family of microcontrollers.
The CS input is used to select the TC77 when multiple
devices are connected to the serial clock and data
lines. The CS line is also used to synchronize the data,
which is written to, or read from, the device when CS is
equal to a logic ‘0’ voltage. The SCK input is disabled
when CS is a logic ‘1’. The falling edge of the CS line
initiates communication, while the rising edge of CS
completes the communication.
The SCK input is provided by the external microcontroller and is used to synchronize the data on the SI/O
line. The Temperature and Manufacturer ID registers
are read only while the Configuration register is a read/
write register.
Figure 3-2 provides a timing diagram of a read operation of the Temperature register. Communication with
the TC77 is initiated when the CS goes to a logic ‘0’.
The Serial I/O signal (SI/O) then transmits the first bit of
data. The microcontroller serial I/O bus master clocks
the data in on the rising edge of SCK. The falling edge
of SCK is then used to clock out the rest of the data.
After 14 bits of data (thirteen temperature bits and Bit 2)
have been transmitted, the SI/O line is then tri-stated.
Note that CS can be taken to a logic ‘1’ at any time during the data transmission if only a portion of the temperature data information is required. The TC77 will
complete the conversion, and the output shift register
will be updated, if CS goes to the inactive state while in
the middle of a conversion.
Figure 3-3 provides a timing diagram of a multi-byte
communication operation consisting of a read of the
Temperature Data register, followed by a write to the
Configuration register. The first 16 SCK pulses are
used to transmit the TC77's temperature data to the
microcontroller. The second group of 16 SCK pulses
are used to receive the microcontroller command to
place the TC77 either in Shutdown or Continuous Temperature Conversion mode. Note that the TC77 is in the
Continuous Temperature Conversion mode at powerup.
The data written to the TC77’s Configuration register
should be either all 0’s or all 1’s, corresponding to
either the Continuous Temperature Conversion or
Shutdown mode, respectively. The TC77 is in Shutdown mode when Bits C0 to C7 are all equal to 1’s. The
TC77 will be in the Continuous Conversion mode if a ‘0’
in any bit location from C0 to C7 is written to the
Configuration register.

4.1
Configuration Register (CONFIG)
The Configuration register is write only. This register
selects either Shutdown, Continuous Conversion or
Test modes:
• C15:C0 = XXXX/XXXX 1111/1111 (Shutdown
mode)
• C15:C0 = XXXX/XXXX 0000/0000 (Continuous
Conversion mode)
• The TC77 is in Shutdown mode when bits C0 to
C7 are all equal to ‘1’s. The TC77 will be in the
Continuous Conversion mode if a ‘0’ in any bit
location from C0 to C7 is written to the Configuration register. The TC77 is in the Continuous
Conversion mode at power-up.
It is recommended that the user write all ‘0’s or all ‘1’s
to the Configuration register because other bit codes
may put the TC77 in a test mode used for calibration
and production verification tests. Section 3.3 lists the
Configuration register bit codes that can be written to
the TC77 without having the device enter a production
test mode.
4.2
Temperature Register (TEMP)
The Temperature register is read only and holds the
temperature conversion data. Bits 0 and 1 are undefined and will be tri-state outputs during a read
sequence. Bit 2 is set to a logic ‘1’ after completion of
the first temperature conversion following a power-up
or reset event. Bit 2 is set to a logic ‘0’ during the time
needed to complete the first temperature conversion.
Therefore, the status of bit 2 can be monitored to indicate that the TC77 has completed the first temperature
conversion. Bits 15:3 contain the 13 bit two’s complement data from the temperature conversion.
4.3
Manufacturer’s ID Register (M_ID)
The Manufacturer’s Identification code is contained in
this read only register. The Manufacturer ID register is
only available for a read operation when the TC77 is in
Shutdown mode. The Manufacturer’s ID code is contained in bits 15:8 and is equal to 54 hex to indicate a
Microchip device. Bits 1:0 are undefined and will be tristate outputs during a read sequence, while bits 7:2 are
set to ‘0’.
During Shutdown mode, the serial bus is still active.
The current consumption of the TC77 will be less than
1 µA during the time between serial communication.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TC77 does not require any additional components
in order to measure temperature. However, it is recommended that a decoupling capacitor of 0.1 µF to 1 µF
be provided between the VDD and VSS (Ground) pins (a
high frequency ceramic capacitor should be used). It is
necessary for the capacitor to be located as close as
possible to the integrated circuit (IC) power pins in
order to provide effective noise protection to the TC77.
The TC77 measures temperature by monitoring the
voltage of a diode located on the IC die. A low-impedance thermal path between the die and the printed circuit board (PCB) is provided by the IC pins of the TC77.
Therefore, the TC77 effectively monitors the temperature of the PCB board. The thermal path between the
ambient air is not as efficient because the plastic IC
housing package functions as a thermal insulator.
Thus, the ambient air temperature (assuming that a
large temperature gradient exists between the air and
PCB) has only a small effect on the temperature
measured by the TC77.
A potential for self-heating errors can exist if the TC77
SPI communication lines are heavily loaded. Typically,
the self-heating error is negligible because of the relatively small current consumption of the TC77. A temperature accuracy error of approximately 0.5°C will
result from self-heating if the SPI communication pins
sink/source the maximum current specified for the
TC77. Therefore, to maximize the temperature accuracy, the output loading of the SPI signals should be
minimized.
