Register map description
The register map consists of 64 addresses subdivided
in three different pages:
• Read-only page, addr. 0x00 to 0x0F: iC-HTP sta-
tus, ADC readouts, thermometer readout and chip
revision.
• Configuration page (integrity monitored), read-
-write registers, addr. 0x10 to 0x1F.
• Validation page, read-write registers, addr. 0x30
to 0x3F.
Both the configuration and validation pages are initial-
ized during power-up. This event is signaled at the
STATUS0 register (bit 0, INITRAM). In standby mode
(NSTBY = lo) the RAM is not reset if any write com-
mand has been executed and therefore, configuration
and validation pages keep the stored information and
INITRAM remains unset. Entering standby mode after
power-up without any write command, the RAM will be
initialized again and the INITRAM bit will be set to 1
again. Any VDD power-down event signaled at the STA-
TUS0 register outside the standby mode (NSTBY = hi)
requires a RAM content check regardless of the state
of the INITRAM bit to ensure data is not corrupted.
Read-only registers
Read-only registers are sub-divided as well into sta-
tus registers (addr. 0x00 to 0x01) and measurement
registers. Status registers are normally latched to 1
on events and cleared on read (see individual regis-
ter description). Measurement registers are dual-port
and can be accessed simultaneously with the measure-
ments in progress. ADC1(addr. 0x03 to 0x04) and
ADC2 (addr. 0x05 to 0x06) are 10 bit registers split into
two 8 bit registers each and must be accessed in block
mode (automatic address increment) to ensure data
not changing during the read.
Configuration page (integrity monitored)
The configuration page (addr. 0x10 to 0x1F) contains
the registers that control the driver. Every write opera-
tion to any of the registers of this page will be internally
duplicated to the correspondent register at the valida-
tion page. After the write operation, the correspondent
validation register will contain the inverted value of the
configuration register.
Validation page
The validation page (addr. 0x30 to 0x3F) can be read or
written normally. Only when a write procedure is made
to any of the configuration registers the correspondent
validation pair will be written with the inverted value of
the configuration register as well.
Possible start-up sequence:
1. iC-HTP starts in operation mode with default con-
figuration. INITRAM, PDOVBLx and PDOVDD
error bits must be set in STATUSx, DISC1 (addr.
0x10, bit 3) and DISC2 (addr. 0x15, bit 3) are set
to 1.
2. Write MODE(1:0) = "10" register (addr. 0x1C) to
enable the configuration mode.
3. Configure the laser channels.
4. Read back to verify a correct data transfer.
5. Set the DISC1, DISC2 bits to 0 on used channels.
6. Read the status registers(addr. 0x00, 0x01, 0x02)
to detect possible errors and validate status. If
any error exists, read again to ensure its validity.
7. Write MODE(1:0) = "01" register (addr. 0x1C) to
apply the configuration and enable the memory
integrity check.
8. During operation: monitor the status registers
checking for errors. The NCHK pin signals any
set status bit if not masked. This pin can be used
to trigger an microcontroller interrupt line.
