6. General Description
The PTC-04 programmer was designed for efficient, precise calibration of the Melexis families of programmable
ICs. The programmer is designed to be easily adapted to a standard PC and to an application module to allow
calibration of programmable sensor ICs within the operating environment. The PTC-04 programmer contains its
own programmable power supply and measurement circuitry. The programmer is similar to a standard EEPROM
programmer, but adds many special features such as 16 bit voltage and current measurement capability, and
configuration options that will accommodate users from the prototyping phase directly into production. An IBM
compatible PC is required (not included) to load software to the programmer and control the functions of the
programmer.
Communication is done through a standard RS-232 null modem cable to a COM port of the PC or via USB. The PC
requires no custom configuration, allowing the programmer to be used with any PC with a COM port speed of
115.2kbs or a standard USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 interface

13. Unique Features
13.1. Mini-Tester
Due to the architecture of the Hardware in combination with the Software, the PTC04 can be used as a mixed mode tester
(With limited performance).
There are library routines (DLL) available in order to interface with any software language. (C++, Visual Basic, Lab view, Excel
(VBA)…)
13.2. Analogue Vector Generator
A vector space of 512Kbyte allows you to store a huge amount of actions. These actions consist of setting a level on a
channel, waiting a time x, setting the Fast DAC and making samples on an analogue input (measurement) or a digital
comparator. For details, refer to the PSF of the PTC04 chapter Pattern functions.
13.3. Acquisition memory
An advance library on the Analogue vector generators, allows use of the vector area in combination with Measurement and
setting levels. Through this method one may use the PTC04 as a slow Data acquisition card.
13.4. Port E Atmega128
The port E of the Atmega128 core is connected fully to the Daughter board.
With this port, items like critical timing generation measurements can be performed. Also, all types of UARTS can be
configured. Other capabilities are possible with the PTC04.
For more details, refer to the Atmega128 datasheet.

14. Main Board Description
14.1. Board Layout
Figure 14-1
As shown in Figure14-1, The Main board can be divided in 4 major areas.
The Supplies where all required voltage and current levels are created
The digital Core that processes all requests from the host computer
A Driver Area where the Programmable Power supplies are located
A Measurement area where the ADC and the input MUX are located
Beside these four areas, there are the input connector on the main board and the two connectors to the daughter board.
14.2. Power Supplies
The Power Supply input connector is a single input to supply the whole PTC. The Input supply requires a minimum of 24 volts
and can tolerate a maximum of 48 volts. It is not recommended to use a higher voltage than needed for the application.
There’s an internal fuse (on the main board) of 1 A in order to avoid damage when improperly used. The connected supply
should provide a minimum current of 1.5 A with peak capacity to source 10A.
The external Supply is the source to create all the internal requirements. Internal voltages are created on the main board by
using the input voltage from the external supply.

14.3. Power Supply System Check
When something goes wrong it’s useful to check the status of all the above mentioned supplies.
The main board has the capability to measure all internal supplies. The only requirement is that the +5V Digital supply is
available. This is indicated by the red led on the rear panel of the programmer.
All the other supply could be checked by the Measurement system itself. Channels 8 till 11 are reserved for this. The channel
8 is connected to the driver supply and is very useful to check the voltages of the connected external supply. This can be
useful to check when applications are launched where extra high voltage is needed. Refer to the chapter “Measurement
system” for more details about measuring these channels. There are DLL functions available that will do these checks for
you.
A typical diagnostic check will start with checking if the external supply is available. Then it will check if the red led is lit. If
these steps are ok, the diagnostics via software can be executed.
14.4. Supply Connector
This connector provides the PTC with power. Either the power connector on the front or on the back side of the PTC04 can
be used.
Any power source that generates a voltage between 24 and 48 V DC with a minimum current of 1.5 A is allowed.

14.5. LED Indicators
Two Led indicators will help the user to check the status of the PTC
The red led shows that the core inside has power
The green led will show a busy status. If the Programmer is executing a job, the led will be on.
Figure 14-3
14.6. USB Connector
One of the communication possibilities with the host PC is the USB link.
See chapter “USB communication with host” for more details
14.7. RS 232 Connector
One of the communication possibilities with the host PC is the serial Communication.
See chapter “RS communication with host” for more details

14.8. Reset button
This button is connected to all reset lines in the main board as well as on the daughterboard. This button allows the user to
reset the whole programmer after crashing software and when connected also to the application device under test.
14.9. Daughter board Connectors
The main board has two connectors to the interface with the application. The PTC allows the addition of a full PCB in
between the main board and the interface. This daughter board can be mounted on the two connectors. In some
exceptional cases, a daughter board contains only a few wires from the Analog connector to the application connector.
The connectors are described below.

14.9.1. Digital DB Connector (40 Pins)
Mainly, the digital connector is meant to expand the programmer for extra needs. Address lines A0-A7 together with the
Map Select Lines F8-FF allows the user direct access to an area of 2 K. Example would be adding a simple addressed I/O
register by using the selection lines. If more complexity is needed, a full FPGA can be mounted on the DB board.

15. Daughter board concept
15.1. Background
The future of our products is not known and building a universal programmer will not be possible to survive more than a few
years. For this reason, a flexibility is built in by having a Daughter board (abbreviation: DB) as interface between PTC04 and
the application connector. On this way, special needs can be fulfilled. The simplest DB is just wires form the DB connectors to
the application connector. The idea is to support with one single DB as many as possible products.
15.2. Requirements
See specific daughter board documentation.

18. Measurement system
The measurement system on the main board contains mainly a high accurate 16 bit ADC and two 16 to 1 channels MUX.
Basically, the ADC always measures differential between inputs.
For the internal voltage channels, the negative input is the internal analog ground.
For the current measurements that use a sense resistor (PPS1-4) are clearly measuring over the sense resistor.
There are also 4 full differential lines going to the daughter board allowing the user to make high quality measurements by
selecting the reference by the application itself. This way of working easily supports the use of force and sense lines.

18.2. Conversion time
In general the conversion time depends on the loaded firmware version. Theoretically, a full conversion to a floating real
value takes about 4ms if the filter is put at 100 samples.
18.3. Accuracy
To preserve the accuracy of the PTC04, Melexis recommends checking the tolerance of the PTC04 once a year.

19. Application Information
When using the PTC04 in combination with external equipment or other PTC04’s, it is very important to have a good solid
earth/ground connection on the different appliances. A bad earth/ground connection on appliances and the PTC04 can
cause damage to the PTC04. The measuring unit and the digital channels of the PTC04 are sensitive to level shifts.
The metal case of the PTC04 has to be connected to the earth connection of the power grid via the frame connection or via
the earth connection on the back panel of the PTC04.
Earth Connection
When using the PTC04 for End Of Line calibration of a Melexis product, it is mandatory to use qualified reference equipment
for the End Of Line verification of the programmed/calibrated product.
