A second multiplexed input is available to allow measurements with a second isolated modulator without additional hardware. As shown in Figure 1, using the Isolated 2-chip A/D converter to sense current can be as simple as connecting a current-sensing resistor, or shunt, to the input and reading output data through the 3-wire serial output interface. By choosing the appropriate shunt resistance, any range of current can be monitored, from less than 1 A to more than 100 A. Even better performance can be achieved by fully utilizing the more advanced features of the Isolated A/D converter, such as the pre-trigger circuit, which can reduce conversion time to less than 1µs, the fast over-range detector for quickly detecting short circuits, different conversion modes giving various resolution/ speed trade-offs, offset calibration mode to eliminate initial offset from measurements, and an adjustable threshold detector for detecting non-short circuit overload conditions. The Digital Interface IC, HCPL-0872 can used together with Isolated Modulator, HCPL-7860/786J/7560 to form an isolated programmable two-chip analog-to-digital converter. The primary functions of the HCPL-0872 Digital Interface IC are to derive a multi-bit output signal by averaging the single-bit modulator data, as well as to provide a direct microcontroller interface. The effective resolution of the multi-bit output signal is a function of the length of time (measured in modulator clock cycles) over which the average is taken; averaging over longer periods of time results in higher resolution. The Digital Interface IC can be configured for five conversion modes, which have different combinations of speed and resolution to achieve the desired level of performance. Other functions of the HCPL-0872 Digital Interface IC include a Phase Locked Loop based pre-trigger circuit that can either give more precise control of the effective sampling time or reduce conversion time to less than 1µs, a fast over-range detection circuit that rapidly indicates when the magnitude of the input signal is beyond full-scale, an adjustable threshold detection circuit that indicates when the magnitude of the input signal is above a user adjustable threshold level, an offset calibration circuit, and a second multiplexed input that allows a second Isolated Modulator to be used with a single Digital Interface IC.

A conversion cycle is initiated on the falling edge of the convert start signal (CS); CS should be held low during the entire conversion cycle. When CS is brought low, the serial output data line (SDAT) changes from a high-impedance to the low state, indicating that the converter is busy. A rising edge on SDAT indicates that data is ready to be clocked out. The output data is clocked out on the negative edges of the serial clock pulses (SCLK), MSB first. A total of 16 pulses is needed to clock out all of the data. After the last clock pulse, CS should be brought high again, causing SDAT to return to a high-impedance state, completing the conversion cycle. If the external circuit uses the positive edges of SCLK to clock in the data, then a total of sixteen bits is clocked in, the first bit is always high (indicating that data is ready) followed by 15 data bits. If fewer than 16 cycles of SCLK are input before CS is brought high, the conversion cycle will terminate and SDAT will go to the high-impedance state after a few cycles of the Isolated Modulator’s clock. At power up, the digital interface IC should be reset either manually, by bringing the RESET pin (pin 9) high for at least 100 ns, or automatically by connecting a 10µF capacitor between the RESET pin and VDD (pin 16). The RESET pin operates asynchronously and places the IC in its default configuration, as specified in the Digital Interface Configuration section. The amount of time between the falling edge of CS and the rising edge of SDAT depends on which conversion and pre-trigger modes are selected; it can be as low as 0.7µs when using pre-trigger mode 2, as explained in the Digital Interface Configuration section.

Figure 3 illustrates the timing for the serial configuration interface. To send a byte of configuration data to the HCPL-0872, first bring CLAT low. Then clock in the eight bits of the configuration byte (MSB first) using CDAT and the rising edge of CCLK. After the last bit has been clocked in, bringing CLAT high again will latch the data into the appropriate configuration register inside the interface IC. If more than eight bits are clocked in before CLAT is brought high, only the last eight bits will be used. Refer to the Digital Interface Configuration section to determine appropriate configuration data. If the default configuration of the digital interface IC is acceptable, then CCLK, CDIN and CLAT may be connected to either VDD or GND. The channel select signal (CHAN) determines which input channel will be used for the next conversion cycle. A logic low level selects channel one, a high level selects channel 2. CHAN should not be changed during a conversion cycle. The state of the CHAN signal has no effect on the behavior of either the over-range detection circuit (OVR1) or the adjustable threshold detection circuit (THR1). Both OVR1 and THR1 continuously monitor channel 1 independent of the CHAN signal. CHAN also does not affect the behavior of the pre-trigger circuit, which is tied to the conversion timing of channel 1, as explained in the Digital Interface Configuration section. t SUCL1 t SUCL2 CLAT CDAT B7 t SUCLK B6 B5 B4 B3 t HDCLK t PWH CCLK t PWL t PER Figure 3. Serial Configuration Interface Timing.  B2 B1 B0 Digital Interface Configuration Conversion Mode Configuration Registers The conversion mode determines the speed/resolution trade-off for the Isolated A/D converter. The four MSBs of registers 0 and 1 determine the conversion mode for the appropriate channel. The bit settings for choosing a particular conversion mode are shown in Table 2 below. Combinations of data bits not specified in Table 2 below are not recommended. The Digital Interface IC contains four 6-bit configuration registers that control its behavior. The two LSBs of any byte clocked into the serial configuration port (CDAT, CCLK, CLAT) are used as address bits to determine which register the data will be loaded into. Registers 0 and 1 (with address bits 00 and 01) specify the conversion and offset calibration modes of channels 1 and 2, register 2 (address bits 10) specifies the behavior of the adjustable threshold circuit, and register 3 (address bits 11) specifies which pre-trigger mode to use for channel 1. These registers are illustrated in Table 1 below, with default values indicated in bold italic type. Note that there are several reserved bits, which should always be set low and that the configuration registers should not be changed during a conversion cycle. Table 1. Register Configuration.

The PLL pre-trigger circuit has two modes of operation; the first mode allows more precise control of the time at which the analog input voltage is effectively sampled, while the second mode essentially eliminates the time between when the external convert start command is given and when output data is available (reducing it to less than 1µs). A brief description of how the A/D converter works with the pre-trigger circuit disabled will help explain how the pre-trigger circuit affects operation when it is enabled. With the pre-trigger circuit is disabled (pre-trigger mode 0), Figure 4 illustrates the relationship between the convert start command, the weighting function used to average the modulator data, and the data ready signal. The weighted averaging of the modulator data begins immediately following the convert start command. The weighting function increases for half of the conversion cycle and then decreases back to zero, at which time the data ready signal is given, completing the conversion cycle. The analog signal is effectively sampled at the peak of the weighting function, half-way through the conversion cycle. This is the default mode. If the convert start signal is periodic (i.e., at a fixed frequency) and the PLL pre-trigger circuit is enabled (pretrigger modes 1 or 2), either the peak of the weighting function or the end of the conversion cycle can be aligned to the external convert start command, as shown in Figure 4. The Digital Interface IC can therefore synchronize the conversion cycle so that either the beginning, the middle, or the end of the conversion is aligned with the external convert start command, depending on whether pre-trigger mode 0, 1, or 2 is selected, respectively. The only requirement is that the convert start signal for channel 1 be periodic. If the signal is not periodic and pre-trigger mode 1 or 2 is selected, then the pre-trigger circuit will not function properly. An important distinction should be made concerning the difference between conversion time and signal delay. As can be seen in Figure 4, the amount of time from the peak of the weighting function (when the input signal is being sampled) to when output data is ready is the same for all three modes. This is the actual delay of the analog signal through the A/D converter and is independent of the “conversion time,” which is simply the time between the convert start signal and the data ready signal. Because signal delay is the true measure of how much phase shift the A/D converter adds to the signal, it should be used when making calculations of phase margin and loop stability in feedback systems. There are different reasons for using each of the pre-trigger modes. If the signal is not periodic, then the pre-trigger circuit should be disabled by selecting pre-trigger mode 0. If the most time-accurate sampling of the input signal is desired, then mode 1 should be selected. If the shortest possible conversion time is desired, then mode 2 should be selected. The pre-trigger circuit functions only with channel 1; the circuit ignores any convert start signals while channel 2 is selected with the CHAN input. This allows conversions on channel 2 to be performed between conversions on channel 1 without affecting the operation of the pre-trigger circuit. As long as the convert start signals are periodic while channel 1 is selected, then the pre-trigger circuit will function properly. The three different pre-trigger modes are selected using bits 6 and 7 of register 3, as shown in Table 3 below.

Send another configuration byte to the appropriate register for the selected channel, setting bit 3 low to disable calibration mode and setting bits 4 through 7 to select the desired conversion mode for subsequent conversions on that channel. Notes: Bold italic type indicates Default values. To calibrate both channels, perform the above sequence for each channel. The offset calibration sequence can be performed as often as needed. Table 4 below summarizes how to turn the offset calibration mode on or off using bit 3 of configuration registers 0 and 1. Table 4. Offset Calibration Configuration. Over-Range Detection Offset Calibration Mode Configuration Data Bits Bit 3 Off Low On High Notes: Bold italic type indicates Default values. Offset Calibration The offset calibration circuit can be used to separately calibrate the offsets of both channels 1 and 2. The offset calibration circuit contains a separate offset register for each channel. After an offset calibration sequence, the offset registers will contain a value equal to the measured offset, which will then be subtracted from all subsequent conversions. A hardware reset (bringing the RESET pin high for at least 100 ns) is required to reset the offset calibration registers to zero. The following sequence is recommended for performing an offset calibration: 1. Select the appropriate channel using the CHAN pin (low = channel 1, high = channel 2). 2. Force zero volts at the input of the selected isolated modulator. 3. Send a configuration data byte to the appropriate register for the selected channel (register 0 for channel 1, register 1 for channel 2). Bit 3 of the configuration byte should be set high to enable offset calibration mode and bits 4 through 7 should be set to select conversion mode 1 to achieve the highest resolution measurement of the offset. 4. Perform one complete conversion cycle by bringing CS low until SDAT goes high, indicating completion of the conversion cycle. Because bit 3 of the configuration has been set high, the uncalibrated output data from the conversion will be stored in the appropriate offset calibration register and will be subtracted from all subsequent conversions on that channel. If multiple conversion cycles are performed while the offset calibration mode is enabled, the uncalibrated data from the last conversion cycle will be stored in the offset calibration register. The over-range detection circuit allows fast detection of when the magnitude of the input signal on channel 1 is near or beyond full-scale, causing the OVR1 output to go high. This circuit can be very useful in currentsensing applications for quickly detecting when a shortcircuit occurs. The over-range detection circuit works by detecting when the modulator output data has not changed state for at least 25 clock cycles in a row, indicating that the input signal is near or beyond full-scale, positive or negative. Typical response time to over-range signals is less than 3µs. The over-range circuit actually begins to indicate an overrange condition when the magnitude of the input signal exceeds approximately 250 mV; it starts to generate periodic short pulses on OVR1, which get longer and more frequent as the input signal approaches full scale. The OVR1 output stays high continuously when the input is beyond full-scale. The over-range detection circuit continuously monitors channel 1 independent of which channel is selected with the CHAN signal. This allows continuous monitoring of channel 1 for faults while converting an input signal on channel 2. Adjustable Threshold Detection Table 6. Threshold Level Configuration. The adjustable threshold detector causes the THR1 output to go high when the magnitude of the input signal on channel 1 exceeds a user-defined threshold level. The threshold level can be set to one of 16 different values between approximately 160 mV and 310 mV. The adjustable threshold detector uses a smaller version of the main conversion circuit in combination with a digital comparator to detect when the magnitude of the input signal on channel 1 is beyond the defined threshold level. As with the main conversion circuit, there is a trade-off between speed and resolution with the threshold detector; selecting faster detection times exhibit more noise as the signal passes through the threshold, while slower detection times offer lower noise. Both the detection time and threshold level are programmable using bits 2 through 7 of configuration register 2, as shown in Tables 5 and 6 below. Threshold Level As with the over-range detector, the adjustable threshold detector continuously monitors channel 1 independent of which channel is selected with the CHAN signal. This allows continuous monitoring of channel 1 for faults while converting Channel 2. ± 240 mV Table 5. Threshold Detection Configuration.
