SDP610-500PA

SDP600 Series (SDP6xx/5xx) Low-cost Digital Differential Pressure Sensor       Accuracy better than 0.2% FS near zero Digital output (I2C) Excellent repeatability, even below 10 Pa Calibrated and temperature compensated Excellent long-term stability Flow measurement in bypass configuration Product Summary The SDP600 sensor family is Sensirion’s series of digital differential pressure sensors designed for high-volume applications. They measure the pressure of air and nonaggressive gases with superb accuracy and no offset drift. The sensors cover a pressure range of up to ±500 Pa (±2 inch H2O / ±5 mbar) and deliver outstanding accuracy even at the bottom end of the measuring range. The SDP600 series operates from a 3.3V supply voltage and features a digital 2-wire interface, which makes it easy to connect directly to a microprocessor. The signal is internally linearized and temperature compensated. The outstanding performance of these sensors is based on Sensirion’s patented CMOSens® sensor technology, which combines the sensor element, signal processing and digital calibration on a tiny microchip. The differential pressure is measured by a thermal sensor element using flow-through technology. Compared with membranebased sensors, the SDP600 features an extended dynamic range, better long-term stability, and improved repeatability, especially near zero. The well-proven CMOS technology is perfectly suited for high-quality mass production and is the ideal choice for demanding and cost-sensitive OEM applications. Applications Sensor chip      The SDP600 series features a fourth-generation silicon sensor chip called SF04. In addition to a thermal mass flow sensor element, the chip contains an amplifier, A/D converter, EEPROM memory, digital signal processing circuitry, and interface. The highly sensitive chip requires only a minuscule amount of gas flow through the sensor.

Interface Specifications The serial interface of the SDP600 series is compatible with I2C interfaces. For detailed specifications of the I2C protocol, see The I2C Bus Specification (source: NXP). Transmission STOP Condition (P): The STOP condition is a unique situation on the bus created by the master, indicating to the slaves the end of a transmission sequence (the bus is considered free after a STOP). I2C Transmission Stop Condition SDA 3.1 Interface connection – external components SCL Bi-directional bus lines are implemented by the devices (master and slave) using open-drain output stages and a pull-up resistor connected to the positive supply voltage. The recommended pull-up resistor value depends on the system setup (capacitance of the circuit or cable and bus clock frequency). In most cases, 10 kΩ is a reasonable choice. The capacitive loads on SDA and SCL line have to be the same. It is important to avoid asymmetric capacitive loads. I2C Transmission Start Condition VDD master Rp Rp P STOP condition A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. Acknowledge (ACK) / Not Acknowledge (NACK): Each byte (8 bits) transmitted over the I2C bus is followed by an acknowledge condition from the receiver. This means that after the master pulls SCL low to complete the transmission of the 8th bit, SDA will be pulled low by the receiver during the 9th bit time. If after transmission of the 8th bit the receiver does not pull the SDA line low, this is considered to be a NACK condition. If an ACK is missing during a slave to master transmission, the slave aborts the transmission and goes into idle mode. slave (SDP600) SDA I2C Acknowledge / Not Acknowledge SCL not acknowledge Both bus lines, SDA and SCL, are bi-directional and therefore require an external pull-up resistor. SDA acknowledge SCL 3.2 I2 C Address The I2C address consists of a 7-digit binary value. By default, the I2C address is set to 64 (binary: 1000 000). The address is always followed by a write bit (0) or read bit (1). The default hexadecimal I2C header for read access to the sensor is therefore h81. 3.3 Transfer sequences Transmission START Condition (S): The START condition is a unique situation on the bus created by the master, indicating to the slaves the beginning of a transmission sequence (the bus is considered busy after a START). I2 C R/_W ACK D7 D0 ACK Each byte is followed by an acknowledge or a not acknowledge, generated by the receiver Handshake procedure (Hold Master): In a master-slave system, the master dictates when the slaves will receive or transmit data. However, in some situations a slave device may need time to store received data or prepare data to be transmitted. Therefore, a handshake procedure is required to allow the slave to indicate termination of internal processing. I2C Hold Master SDA Transmission Start Condition SCL R/_W SDA SCL D7 Hold master: SCK line pulled LOW S START condition A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH www.sensirion.com ACK D0 ACK data ready: SCK line released After the SCL pulse for the acknowledge signal, the SDP600 series sensor (slave) can pull down the SCL line to force the master into a wait state. By releasing the SCL line, the sensor indicates that its internal processing is completed and transmission can resume. (The bold lines indicate that the sensor controls the SDA/SCL lines.) Version 1.9 – July 2015 4/10 A command is represented by an 8-bit command code. The data direction may not change after the command byte, since the R/_W bit of the preceding I2C header has already determined the direction to be master-to-slave. In order to execute commands in Read mode using I2C, the following principle is used. On successful (acknowledged) receipt of a command byte, the sensor stores the command nibble internally. The Read mode of this command is then invoked by initiating an I2C data transfer sequence with R/_W = 1. If a correctly addressed sensor recognizes a valid command and access to this command is granted, it responds by pulling down the SDA line during the subsequent SCL pulse for the acknowledge signal (ACK). Otherwise it leaves the SDA line unasserted (NACK). The two most important commands are described in this data sheet, and the data transfer sequences are specified. Contact Sensirion for advanced sensor options. Measurement triggering Each individual measurement is triggered by a separate read operation. Note that two transfer sequences are needed to perform a measurement. First write command byte hF1 (trigger measurement) to the sensor, and then execute a read operation to trigger the measurement and retrieve the flow or differential pressure information. On receipt of a header with R/_W=1, the sensor generates the Hold Master condition on the bus until the first measurement is completed. After the Hold Master condition is released, the master can read the result as two consecutive bytes. A CRC byte follows if the master continues clocking the SCL line after the second result www.sensirion.com 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 W I2CAdr 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 S 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Command 9 ACK 2 Hold Master R I2CAdr LSByte MeasData Check Byte ACK MSByte MeasData ACK 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 P Hatched areas indicate that the sensor controls the SDA line.

Command Set and Data Transfer Sequences 4.1 1 S 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Soft reset This command forces a sensor reset without switching the power off and on again. On receipt of this command, the sensor reinitializes the control/status register contents from the EEPROM and starts operating according to these settings.

If R/_W = 0 (WRITE) the direction remains master-to-slave, while if R/_W = 1 (READ) the direction changes to slaveto-master after the header byte. 8-bit command code: hF1 Command: Trigger differential pressure measurement ACK A data transfer sequence is initiated by the master generating the Start condition (S) and sending a header byte. The I2C header consists of the 7-bit I2C device address and the data direction bit (R/_W). I2C Measurement ACK Data is transferred in byte packets in the I2C protocol, which means in 8-bit frames. Each byte is followed by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first. byte. The sensor checks whether the master sends an acknowledge after each byte and aborts the transmission if it does not. ACK Data transfer format ACK 3.4 system reboot Command CRC-8 Redundant Data Transmission Cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) is a popular technique used for error detection in data transmission. The transmitter appends an n-bit checksum to the actual data sequence. The checksum holds redundant information about the data sequence and allows the receiver to detect transmission errors. The computed checksum can be regarded as the remainder of a polynomial division, where the dividend is the binary polynomial defined by the data sequence and the divisor is a “generator polynomial”. The sensor implements the CRC-8 standard based on the generator polynomial x8 + x5 + x4 +1. Note that CRC protection is only used for date transmitted from the slave to the master. For details regarding cyclic redundancy checking, please refer to the relevant literature. Version 1.9 – July 2015 5/10 5. Conversion to Physical Values 5.1 1500 2250 3000 Signal scaling and physical unit The calibrated signal read from the sensor is a signed INTEGER number (two's complement number). The INTEGER value can be converted to the physical value by dividing it by the scale factor (pressure = sensor output  scale factor). The scale factor is specified in Section 2. 5.2 Temperature compensation The SDP600 sensor series features digital temperature compensation. The temperature is measured on the CMOSens® chip by an on-chip temperature sensor. This data is fed to a compensation circuit that is also integrated on the CMOSens® sensor chip. No external temperature compensation is necessary. 5.3 Mass flow temperature compensation A sensor output proportional to mass flow is necessary for measuring mass flow in a bypass configuration. Even though the output of the SDP sensors with mass flow temperature compensation is still differential pressure, the temperature compensation is adapted especially for mass flow measurements in a bypass configuration. At calibration temperature both calibrations are equivalent. Please find the application note “Bypass Configuration Differential Pressure Sensor SDPxxx” on our website. 5.4 842 766 697 1.15 1.26 1.38 Example: At 750 m above sea level and a sensor reading of 40 Pa, the effective differential pressure is 41.8 Pa. Note: In many HVAC applications such as air flow measurement in a bypass configuration, the described dependence on absolute pressure is actually welcome because the quantity that must effectively be controlled is the mass flow and not the volume flow. Mass flow is dependent on differential pressure and absolute pressure. For details please refer to our application note “Measuring Flow in a Bypass Configuration”. 6. OEM Options A variety of custom options can potentially be implemented for high-volume OEM applications. Contact Sensirion for more information. Altitude correction The SDP600 sensor series achieves its unsurpassed performance by using a dynamic measurement principle. The applied differential pressure forces a small flow of gas through the sensor, which is measured by the flow sensor element. As a result, any variation in gas density affects the sensor reading. While temperature effects are compensated internally, variations in atmospheric pressure (elevation above sea level) can be compensated by a correction factor according to the following formula: DPeff = DPsensor  (Pcal / Pamb) DPeff: Effective differential pressure DPsensor: Differential pressure indicated by the sensor Pcal: Absolute pressure at calibration (966 mbar) Pamb: Actual ambient absolute pressure.
