The diode’s voltage is measured at each current level and the temperature is calculated based on EQ 7.
VTMSLO – VTMSHI = nk--q--T--lnI-I-T-T--M-M---S-S--L-H--O-I-
EQ 7
where
ITMSLO is the current when the Temperature Strobe is Low, typically 100 µA
ITMSHI is the current when the Temperature Strobe is High, typically 10 µA
VTMSLO is diode voltage while Temperature Strobe is Low
VTMSHI is diode voltage while Temperature Strobe is High
n is the non-ideality factor of the diode-connected transistor. It is typically 1.004 for the Microsemi-
recommended transistor type 2N3904.
K = 1.3806 x 10-23 J/K is the Boltzman constant
Q = 1.602 x 10-19 C is the charge of a proton
When ITMSLO / ITMSHI = 10, the equation can be simplified as shown in EQ 8.
V = VTMSLO – VTMSHI = 1.986  10–4nT
EQ 8
In the Fusion TMB, the ideality factor n for 2N3904 is 1.004 and V is amplified 12.5 times by an internal
amplifier; hence the voltage before entering the ADC is as given in EQ 9.
VADC = V  12.5 = 2.5 mV  K  T
EQ 9
This means the temperature to voltage relationship is 2.5 mV per degree Kelvin. The unique design of
Fusion has made the Temperature Monitor System simple for the user. When the 10-bit mode ADC is
used, each LSB represents 1 degree Kelvin, as shown in EQ 10. That is, e. 25°C is equal to 293°K and is
represented by decimal 293 counts from the ADC.
1K = 2.5 mV  2----.-25---1-6--0---V-- = 1 LSB
EQ 10
If 8-bit mode is used for the ADC resolution, each LSB represents 4 degrees Kelvin; however, the
resolution remains as 1 degree Kelvin per LSB, even for 12-bit mode, due to the Temperature Monitor
design. An example of the temperature data format for 10-bit mode is shown in Table 2-38.
