10. Detailed General Description
The MLX90818 contains a pressure sensing element which consists of a diaphragm realized in the silicon chip by
wafer bonding on an etched cavity with built in reference vacuum. The diaphragm reacts to a change in absolute
pressure. The internal strain increases, in particular at the border of the diaphragm. Here, the piezo-resistive
elements have been implanted into the silicon diaphragm forming a Wheatstone bridge, which act as a
transducer.
The electronics front end amplifies the signal from the bridge, performs a coarse offset compensation and an
ADC conversion. The DSP performs the compensations over temperature. Furthermore, the digital circuit
provides some filtering, the possibility to linearize the pressure signal and also implements the clamping function.
This chip delivers a SENT output compliant with SAE J2716 spec dated April 2016. On one of the fast channels of
the SENT message it is possible to select to transmit linearized and calibrated temperature information measured
by an external NTC thermistor. An analog interface is available for the external thermistor and the 16bits DSP
performs the calibration and linearization of the measured thermistor temperature.
Extensive protection of the supply lines allows the MLX90818 to handle extreme overvoltage conditions and is
immune to severe external disturbances. Several diagnostic functions (over-voltage, under-voltage, overpressure,
under pressure detections) have been implemented on the 90818 and can be enabled by programming EEPROM
settings. Figure 4 describes MLX90818 block diagram.

11. Default programmed settings
The MLX90818 is calibrated at the final manufacturing test steps. During the calibration, settings are stored in the
on chip EEPROM to define the pressure transfer curve. Besides pressure, the internal temperature and optionally
the NTC temperature calibrations are performed. The default temperature characteristic can be found in the
graph of Figure 5. The SENT parameters and the IC filter values are also configured.

12. Filters
There are two filters available to filter the pressure signal. The first filter is a Small Signal Filter which can be
disabled or enabled. The second filter is a first order low pass filter for the pressure signal which has a
programmable depth.
An overview of the noise levels using different filter and gain combinations can be found in Table 9.
12.1. PFLT
PFLT is a programmable first order low pass filter. The depth of this filter can be selected. This filter can be
configured to select the optimal trade-off between response time and output noise.
The low pass filter is implemented according to the following formula:
( )
( )
(
)
(
)
The PFLT parameter in the formula is set in EEPROM and can have a value between 0 and 9. An overview of
typical response times when applying a step on the input using different PFLT filter settings can be found in Table
8. The number of SENT frames indicated in the table includes the last frame which contains stable pressure data.
Filter setting 0 disables the PFLT.

12.2. SSF
The SSF (Small Signal Filter) is a digital filter which is designed not to have an impact on the response time of a
fast changing pressure signal like a pressure step. When a large signal change at the input is present, the filter is
bypassed and not filtering the signal. For small signal changes, which are in most cases noise, the filter is used
and filtering the pressure signal.

13. Analog Front End
The analog front end of the MLX90818 consists of a chopping stage and 3 amplification stages as can be seen in
Figure 9. There are also several input diagnostics integrated into this front end to be able to detect a broken InP
or InN connection or an input which is out of range. This diagnostic information is transferred to the
microcontroller to handle further action for example flagging a diagnostic message.

Figure 9: Analog front end block diagram
The first stage is an instrumentation amplifier of which the gain can be programmed using 3 bits to cover a gain
range between 4.5 and 10.6.
Transfer equation:
OUTP1 – OUTN1 = Gst1*(InP – InN) in phase 1
OUTP1 – OUTN1 = Gst1*(InN – InP) in phase 2
The second stage is a fully differential amplifier. The gain of the amplifier can be calibrated using 1 bit.
Transfer equation:
OUTP2 – OUTN2 = -Gst2*(OUTP1 – OUTN1) – Gst2*(CSOF1 – CSOF2) in phase 1
OUTP2 – OUTN2 = -Gst2*(OUTN1 – OUTP1) – Gst2*(CSOF2 – CSOF1) in phase 2
The CSOF1 and CSOF2 signals are generated by the coarse offset DAC with the following transfer functions:

The third stage is an integrator which is controlled using 2 bits to set a gain between 1.6 and 6.4
Transfer equation at the outputs of the amplifier:
OUTP3 – OUTN3 = -N*(C1/C2)*(OUTP2 – OUTN2)
OUTP3_common_mode and OUTN3_common_mode = VCM = VDDA/2
In this equation N represents the number of integration cycles which is a fixed value of N = 40.
C2 is a fixed feedback capacitor of approximately 5pF. C1 can have 3 different values: 0.2pF, 0.4pF or 0.8pF.
Transfer equation after the ADC:
Pressure_ADC = ((OUTN3 – OUTP3)*216/VDDA) + 32768

15. Digital
The digital is built around a 16-bit microcontroller. It contains besides the processor also ROM, RAM and EEPROM
and a set of user and system IO registers.
Temperature compensation of the pressure signal and pressure linearization is handled by the microcontroller.
For the pressure compensation there are EEPROM parameters allocated to be able to cover a large variety of
calibration approaches.
Both for gain and offset of the pressure signal, there is a separate temperature dependency programmable
ranging from a temperature independence to a first order, second order and finally a third order compensation.
This is reflected in EEPROM parameters for the offset (O0, O1, O2 and O3) and for the gain (G0, G1, G2 and G3).
If required, the linearity of the pressure signal can also be compensated without a temperature dependency or
with a first order temperature dependency through EEPROM parameters L0 and L1.
Linearization of the NTC temperature is also covered partially by the microcontroller. More information in this
topic can be found in chapter 16.

Figure 11: Block diagram NTC linearization
The complete system can be divided into 5 separate stages.
1. A resistor divider with internal resistor Rs is used to linearize Rntc into a voltage.
2. A fully differential amplifier with unity gain is used to drive the ADC.
3. The 16-bit ADC is being used to convert the analog resistor divider output voltage into a digital signal
called ADC_raw.
4. With the help of calibration data saved in EEPROM the microcontroller will perform a first compensation
on ADC_raw converting in to ADC_comp. This new value is targeted to be as close as possible to the value
ADC_ROM.
5. Finally a look up table (LUT) will be used to convert the ADC_ROM values into the Tntc value which is the
desired linearized NTC temperature.
The default NTC characteristic which is calibrated on option codes BBG-016 and BBG-017 can be found in Table
12. When using an NTC which does not match the coefficients described above, it is advised to contact Melexis.
The EEPROM coefficients which are used for the conversion from ADC_raw to ADC_comp are N0 to N3,
N0_Diff_Low to N3_Diff_Low, N0_Diff_High to N3_Diff_High and TEMP1 to TEMP3.

17. SENT Configuration
The SENT output is designed to be compliant with the SAE J2716 rev. Apr 2016 SENT standard. The tick time is
configurable in EEPROM using parameter TICK_DIV. The available tick time settings are 3us, 4us, 6us, 10us, 12us
and 16us. A pause pulse can also be enabled to have a fixed frame length of 282 ticks. This can be done using
parameter PAUSE.
In the default configuration a tick time of 3us is selected and the pause pulse is enabled.
17.1. Fast Channel Configuration
On the fast channel, 8 different options are available to configure channel 1 and channel 2. An overview of these
different options and how to configure them can be found in Table 13.

17.2. Slow Channel Configuration
The Slow Serial Channel is implemented according to the Enhanced Serial Message Format using 12 bit data and 8
bit message ID as described in the reference SENT protocol standard SAE J2716 rev. Apr 2016.
An overview of the different slow channel messages which are available in the MLX90818 can be found in Table
14. From this table 16 messages can be configured completely in EEPROM. The 12 bit data content of these
messages can be configured freely. The ID of programmable message PR0, PR1, PR2 and PR3 is copied from
EEPROM (2x 4 bit). The ID of PR5 is 1 bit higher than of PR4. The same is valid for the other pairs: PR6-7, PR8-9, …,
PR14-15. This programmable ID is indicated in Table 14 as 0xYZ.
All programmable messages can also be enabled and disabled, but not all independently of each other:
PR0, PR1, PR2 and PR3 can be each independently enabled or disabled
PR4 and PR5 are together enabled or disabled
PR6 and PR7 are together enabled or disabled
PR8, PR9, PR10 and PR11 are together enabled or disabled
PR12, PR13, PR14 and PR15 are together enabled or disabled

Once a message is configured to be repeatable, it will automatically have the highest priority. Therefore it will
appear first in the slow message sequence.
The priority order between MID01, MID10 and MID23 can also be configured using EEPROM parameter
“SC_R_O”:
SC_R_O = 0: Priority order: ID01h > ID10h > ID23h (default setting)
SC_R_O = 1: Priority order: ID10h > ID23h > ID01h

The MLX90818 product has several internal checks which monitor the status of device. These checks or
diagnostic sources can be enabled or disabled based on the sensor module requirements. An overview of the
different diagnostic sources, their enable/disable parameter and the explanation of their functionality can
be found below in table Table 19.

19.3. Fast and Slow Channel Diagnostics
There are two values reserved to show an error diagnostic mode in the fast channel. These values are 4090 and
4091. According to the type of diagnostic flag, one of the values will be transmitted if enabled. Internal errors like
for example PRESS_BROKEN_W or PRESS_PAR use 4090 to indicate an error condition on the fast channel.
Errors conditions which can be linked to external influences can be configured to either transmit 4090 or 4091.
These errors are VSUP_HIGH, VSUP_LOW, T_CHIP and VDIG.
For both VSUP_HIGH and VSUP_LOW fast channel overwriting using an error message can even be disabled. This
allows you to still decode properly the pressure or optionally temperature information in case of an over voltage
or under voltage condition. The OV or UV condition can still be monitored using the status bits for FC1 and FC2
and the slow channel diagnostic message MID01.
An overview of the fast channel error configuration can be found in Table 20. The EEPROM parameters V_ERR,
FCE_VSUP, FCE_VDIG and FCE_TCHIP handle this configuration.

Table 20: Fast channel error configuration
The diagnostic slow channel message (MID 1) can be enabled or disabled independent of the other slow channel
messages and it has an adjustable repetition factor (2, 4, .., 30).
More information on the different diagnostics shown in SENT, their fast channel, slow channel and status bit
mapping can be found in the tables below.
