AS6200
Temperature Sensor
General Description
The AS6200 IC is a high accuracy temperature sensor system
that communicates via a 2 wire digital bus with other devices.
It consists of a Si bandgap temperature sensor, an ADC and a
digital signal processor.
It has a very high temperature accuracy (±0.4°C for AS6200) and
an ultra-low power consumption (low operation and quiescent
current) which makes it ideally suited for mobile/battery
powered applications.
The AS6200 is an easy to integrate and use solution, featuring
an factory calibrated sensor, integrated linearization and the
possibility to use 2 different I²C addresses, enabling to use two
AS6200 devices on one bus.
Additionally the AS6200 temperature sensor system also
features an alert functionality, which triggers e.g. an interrupt
to protect devices from excessive temperatures.
Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of
datasheet.

AS6200 − Detailed Descriptions
Data Width, Bit D4
For AS6200 only the 12 bit mode is supported by the device,
which means that the DW should always be set to 0.
Alert, Bit D5
The alert bit can be used to easily compare the current
temperature reading to the thresholds that can be set in the
TLOW and THIGH registers.
If the polarity bit is set to 0, the AL bit is read as 1 until the
converted temperature value exceeds the defined value in the
high temperature threshold register THIGH for the number of
defined consecutive faults (bits CF). Such an event causes the
AL bit to toggle to 0 and the value is kept until the converted
temperature value falls below the defined value in the low
temperature threshold register TLOW for the number of defined
consecutive faults. If this condition is met, the AL bit is reset to 1.
The polarity bit (POL) defines the active state of the alert bit as
depicted in the following figure.
The alert bit has the same setting as the alert output as long as
the device is configured for the comparator mode.

Conversion Rate, Bit D6-D7
The conversion rate bits define the number of executed
temperature conversions per time unit. Additional readouts of
the temperature register between conversion is possible but
not recommended because the value is changed only after a
conversion is finished.
Values of 125ms, 250ms, 1s and 4s per conversion can be
configured while the default rate is set to 250ms. This
corresponds to a value of 4 conversions per second.

Sleep Mode, Bit D8
The sleep mode is activated by setting the bit SM in the
configuration register to 1. This shuts the device down
immediately and reduces the power consumption to a
minimum value.
The serial interface is the only active circuitry in the sleep mode
in order to provide access to the digital registers.
After resetting the SM bit to 0, the device enters the continuous
conversion mode.

The comparator mode is characterized that if the temperature
value exceeds the THIGH value, the alert output is changed (e.g.
from high to low if the polarity bit is set to 0 and vice versa).
The alert output stays in that condition until the measured
temperature drops below the defined TLOW value.
The interrupt mode is characterized that it changes the alert
output as soon as the measured temperature crosses the THIGH
or TLOW value threshold.
The alert bit has the same setting as the alert output if the
device is set to comparator mode.

Consecutive Faults, Bits D11-D12
A fault condition persists if the measured temperature either
exceeds the configured value in register THIGH or falls below
the defined value in register TLOW. As a result, the ALERT pin
indicates the fault condition if a defined number of consecutive
temperature readings meets this fault condition. The number
of consecutive faults are defined with two bits (D12 and D11)
and prevent a false alert if environmental temperature noise is
present. The register configuration is shown in the following
table.

Single Shot Conversion, Bit D15
The device features a single shot measurement mode if the
device is in sleep mode (SM=1). By setting the “Single Shot-bit”
to 1, a single temperature conversion is started and the SS-bit
can be read as 1 during the active conversion operation. Once
the conversion is completed, the device enters the sleep mode
again and the SS-bit is set to 0. The single shot conversion allows
very low power consumption since a temperature conversion
is executed on demand only. This allows a user defined timing
of the temperature conversions to be executed and is used if
the consecutive operation mode is not required.
As the device exhibits a very short conversion time, the effective
conversion rate can be increased by setting the single shot bit
repetitively after a conversion has finished. However, it has to
be ensured that the additional power is limited, otherwise
self-heating effects have to be considered.

High- and Low-Limit Registers
If the comparator mode is configured (IM=0), the ALERT output
becomes active if the temperature equals or exceeds the
defined value in register THIGH for the configured number of
consecutive faults (N). This configuration is defined by the field
CF in the configuration register. The ALERT output remains
assigned until the converted temperature value equals or falls
below the defined value in register TLOW for the same number
of consecutive fault cycles.
If the interrupt mode is configured (IM=1), the ALERT output
becomes active if the temperature equals or exceeds the
defined value in register THIGH for the configured number of
consecutive fault cycles. It remains active until a read operation
is executed on any register. The ALERT output is also cleared if
the device is set into sleep mode by setting bit SM in the
configuration register.
Once the ALERT output is cleared, it is activated again only if
the temperature value falls below the configured value in
register TLOW. It remains active unless a read operation has
taken place.
This sequence is repeated unless the device is set into the
comparator mode or reset by the General Call Reset command.
This reset command clears the interrupt mode bit and
consequently puts the device into the comparator mode.
The sequential behavior is summarized in the following figure.

AS6200 − Detailed Descriptions
Serial Interface
The device employs a standard I²C-Interface.
Bus Description
A data transfer must be invoked by a master device (e.g.
microcontroller) which defines the access to the slave device.
The master device defines and generates the serial clock (SCL)
and the start/stop conditions.
In order to address a specific device, a START condition has to
be generated by the master device by pulling the data line (SDA)
from a logic high level to a logic low level while the serial clock
signal (SCL) is kept at high level.
After the start condition, the slave address byte is transmitted
which is completed with a ninth bit which indicates a read
(bit=’1’) or a write operation (bit=’0’) respectively. All slaves
read the data on the rising edge of the clock. An acknowledge
signal is generated by the addressed slave during the ninth
clock pulse. This acknowledge signal is produced by pulling the
pin SDA to a low level by the selected slave.
Subsequently, the byte data transfer is started and finished by
an acknowledge bit. A change in the data signal (SDA) while the
clock signal (SCL) is high causes a START or STOP condition.
Hence, it must be ensured such a condition is prevented during
a data transfer phase.
After completing the data transfer, the master generates a STOP
condition by pulling the data line (SDA) from low level to high
level while the clock signal (SCL) is kept at high level.
Data Interface
A bus connection is created by connecting the open drain
input/output lines SDA and SCL to the two wire bus. The inputs
of SDA and SCL feature Schmitt-trigger inputs as well as low
pass filters in order to suppress noise on the bus line. This
improves the robustness against spikes on the two wire
interface.
Both fast transmission mode (1kHz to 400kHz) and high-speed
transmission mode (1kHz to 3.4MHz) are employed to cover
different bus speed settings.
Any data transfer transmits the MSB first and the LSB as last bit.

AS6200 − Detailed Descriptions
Bus Address
A slave address consists of seven bits, followed by a data
direction bit (read/write operation). The slave address can be
selected from a pool of two different address settings by
connecting the input pin ADD0 to an appropriate signal as
summarized in the following table.
The ADD0 must not be left unconnected.

Read/Write Operation
In order to access an internal data register, the index register
must be written in advance. This register contains the actual
register address and selects the appropriate register for an
access. A typical transfer consists of the transmission of the
slave address with a write operation indication, followed by the
transmission of the register address and is finalized with the
actual register content data transfer. This implies that every
write operation to the temperature sensor device requires a
value for the index register prior to the transmission of the
actual register data.
The index register defines the register address for both the write
and read operation. Consequently, if a read operation is
executed, the register address is taken from the index register
which was defined from the last write operation.
If a different register needs to be read, the index register has to
be written in advance to define the new register address. This
is accomplished by transmitting the slave address with a low
R/W bit, followed by the new content of the index register.
Subsequently, the master provokes a START condition on the
bus and transmits the slave address with a high R/W bit in order
to initiate a read operation.
Since the index register always keeps its last value, reads can
be executed repetitively on the same register.
Similarly to the byte transfer where the MSB is transmitted first,
the transfer of a 16-bit word is executed by a two byte transfer
whereas the MSB byte is always transmitted first.

AS6200 − Detailed Descriptions
Slave Operation
The device employs a slave functionality only (slave transmitter
and slave receiver) and cannot be operated as a bus master.
Consequently, the device never actively drives the SCL line.
Slave Receiver Mode
Any transmission is invoked by the master device by
transmitting the slave address with a low R/W bit. Subsequently,
the slave device acknowledges the reception of the valid
address by pulling the ninth bit to a low level. Following to
acknowledge, the master transmits the content of the index
register. This transfer is again acknowledged by the slave
device. The next data byte(s) are written to the actual data
register which is selected by the index register while each
transfer is acknowledged upon a completed transfer by the
slave device. A data transfer can be finished if the master
transmits a START or a STOP condition on the bus.
Slave Transmitter Mode
The master transmits the slave address with a high R/W bit. In
turn, the slave acknowledges a valid slave address.
Subsequently, the slave transmits the MSB byte of the actual
selected data register by the index register. After the MSB byte
transmission, acknowledge is sent by the master. Afterwards,
the LSB byte is transmitted by the slave which is also
acknowledged by the master after the completed transmission.
The data transfer can be terminated by the master by
transmitting a Not-Acknowledge after the transmitted slave
data or by invoking a START or a STOP condition on the bus.
Alert Function
If the device is configured for an interrupt mode operation
(IM=1), the ALERT output can be used as an alert signal.
If the polarity bit is set to ‘0’ (POL=’0’), the alert condition bit is
set to ‘0’ in case the temperature has exceeded the configured
value in register THIGH. Accordingly, the alert condition bit is
set to ‘1’ if the temperature has fallen below the configured
value in register TLOW.
If the polarity bit is set to ‘1’ (POL=’1’), the alert condition bit is
inverted. The following table summarizes the status of the alert
condition bit with different alert conditions and polarity
configurations.

General Call
A general call is issued by the master by transmitting the
general call address (000 0000) with a low R/W bit. The slave
device acknowledges the general call address and responds to
commands in the second byte. If the master transmits a value
of 0000 0110 as a second byte, the device is reset and all
registers are initialized with their default values.
In contrast to the General Call Address, the General Address
Acquire command is not supported.
High Speed Mode
The bus operation is limited to 400kHz unless a high speed
command is issued by the master device as the first byte after
a START condition. This switches the bus to a high speed
operation which allows data transfer frequencies up to 3.4MHz.
Such a command is not acknowledged by the slave but the
input filter time constants on the serial interface (SDA and SCL)
are adapted to allow the higher transfer rate.
After a high speed command, the slave address is transmitted
by the master in order to invoke a data transfer. The bus keeps
operating at the higher operating frequency until the master
issues a STOP condition on the serial bus. Upon the reception
of the STOP condition by the slave, the input filters are switched
to their initial time constants which allow lower transfer rates
only.

Timeout Function
The serial interface of the slave device is reset if the clock signal
SCL is kept low for typ. 30ms. Such a condition results in a
release of the data line by the slave in case it has been pulled
to low level. The slave remains inactive after a timeout and waits
for a new START command invoked by the bus master. In order
to prevent a timeout, the bus transfer rate must be higher than
1kHz.
Bus Conditions
The following conditions occur on the serial bus which is
compatible to the I²C-Bus.
• Bus Idle: The signals SDA and SCL are not actively driven
and pulled to a high level by an external pull-up resistor.
• Start Data Transfer: A transition of the SDA input from
high to low level while the SCL signal is kept at high level
results in a START condition. Such a START condition must
precede any data transfer.
• Stop Data Transfer: A transition of the SDA input from
low to high level while the SCL signal is kept at high level
results in a STOP condition. Any data transfer is finished
by generating a STOP or START condition.
• Data Transfer: The master device defines the number of
data bytes between a START and STOP condition and there
is no limitation in the amount of data to be transmitted.
If it is desired to read only a single MSB byte without the
LSB byte, a termination of the data transfer can be
provoked by issuing a START or STOP condition on the bus.
• Acknowledge: It is mandatory for each slave device to
respond with acknowledge if the device is addressed by
the master. Acknowledge is indicated by pulling down the
data line (SDA) while the clock signal (SCL) is high in the
acknowledge clock phase. In order to avoid an unwanted
START or STOP condition on the bus, setup and hold times
must be met.
The master can signal an end of data transmission by
transmitting a Not-Acknowledge on the last transmitted
data byte by keeping the acknowledge bit at high level.

In Figure 34 the connections of the AS6200 temperature
sensors to a microcontroller and the supply voltage are shown.
The AS6200 is connected to a microcontroller via an I²C bus
(SDA and SCL only). Additionally the Alert output can also be
used for temperature monitoring (e.g. using the interrupt
mode, refer to IM bit settings), an example is given in Figure 34
where the Alert output is connected to a microcontroller.
The I²C of the AS6200 address of the can be selected by
connecting the ADD0 pin to VDD or VSS (refer to Figure 27). This
pin must not be left unconnected.
