3 Description
The LMP91050 device is a programmable integrated
Sensor Analog Front End (AFE) optimized for
thermopile sensors, as typically used in NDIR
applications. It provides a complete signal path
solution between a sensor and microcontroller that
generates an output voltage proportional to the
thermopile voltage. The programmability of the
LMP91050 enables it to support multiple thermopile
sensors with a single design as opposed to the
multiple discrete solutions.
The LMP91050 features a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA), dark phase offset cancellation, and
an adjustable common-mode generator (1.15 V or
2.59 V) which increases output dynamic range. The
PGA offers a low-gain range of 167 V/V to 1335 V/V
plus a high-gain range of 1002 V/V to 7986 V/V which
enables the user to use thermopiles with different
sensitivities. The PGA is highlighted by low-gain drift
(100 ppm/°C), output offset drift (1.2 mV/°C at G =
1002 V/V), phase delay drift (500 ns) and noise
specifications (0.1 μVRMS 0.1 to 10Hz).
