Sensor AFE System: Multi-Channel, Low-Power 16-Bit
Sensor AFE with True Continuous Background Calibration
1.0 General Description
The LMP90080/LMP90079/LMP90078/LMP90077 are highly
integrated, multi-channel, low-power 16-bit Sensor AFEs.
The devices feature a precision, 16-bit Sigma Delta Analog-
to-Digital Converter (ADC) with a low-noise programmable
gain amplifier and a fully differential high impedance analog
input multiplexer. A true continuous background calibration
feature allows calibration at all gains and output data rates
without interrupting the signal path. The background calibra-
tion feature essentially eliminates gain and offset errors
across temperature and time, providing measurement accu-
racy without sacrificing speed and power consumption.
Another feature of the LMP90080/LMP90079/LMP90078/
LMP90077 is continuous background sensor diagnostics, al-
lowing the detection of open and short circuit conditions and
out-of-range signals, without requiring user intervention, re-
sulting in enhanced system reliability.
Two sets of independent external reference voltage pins allow
multiple ratiometric measurements. In addition, two matched
programmable current sources are available in the
LMP90080/LMP90078 to excite external sensors such as re-
sistive temperature detectors and bridge sensors. Further-
more, seven GPIO pins are provided for interfacing to external
LEDs and switches to simplify control across an isolation bar-
rier.
Collectively, these features make the LMP90080/LMP90079/
LMP90078/LMP90077 complete analog front-ends for low-
power, precision sensor applications such as temperature,
pressure, strain gauge, and industrial process control. The
LMP90080/LMP90079/LMP90078/LMP90077 are guaran-
teed over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°
C and are available in a 28-pin TSSOP package.
