LMP90100：Sensor AFE System: Multi-Channel, Low Power 24-Bit Sensor AFE with True Continuous Background Calibration

The LMP90100 is a highly integrated, multi-channel, low power 24-bit Sensor AFE. The device features a precision, 24-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 sample rates without interrupting the signal path. The background calibration feature essentially eliminates gain and offset errors across temperature and time, providing measurement accuracy without sacrificing speed and power consumption.

Another feature of the LMP90100 is continuous background sensor diagnostics, allowing the detection of open and short circuit conditions and out-of-range signals, without requiring user intervention, resulting 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 to excite external sensors such as resistive temperature detectors and bridge sensors. Furthermore, seven GPIO pins are provided for interfacing to external LEDs and switches to simplify control across an isolation barrier.

Collectively, these features make the LMP90100 a complete analog front-end for low power, precision sensor applications such as temperature, pressure, strain gauge, and industrial process control. The LMP90100 is guaranteed over the extended temperature range of -40℃ to +105℃ and is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package.

LMP90100评估板

The LMP90100 Evaluation Board Design Kit (consisting of the LMP90100 Evaluation Board, the SPIO-4 Digital Controller Board, the Sensor AFE software, and this user’s guide) is designed to ease evaluation and design-in of National Semiconductor’s LMP90100 24-bit Fully Programmable Low Power ADC with True Continuous Background Calibration.

Data capturing and static evaluations are simplified by connecting the SPIO-4 Digital Controller Board to a PC via USB and running the Sensor AFE software. The data capture board will generate the SPI signals to communicate to and capture data from the LMP90100. The user will also have the option to evaluate the LMP90100 without using the SPIO-4 board or the Sensor AFE software.

The LMP90100 will digitize the analog input, and the software will display these results in time domain and histogram.

The software also allows customers to write to and read from registers, to calibrate the device or the system’s gain, offset, and scale settings, and most importantly, to configure and learn about the LMP90100.

This document describes the connection between the boards and PC, provide a quick start for a normal DC, 3-wire RTD, and thermocouple/temperature sensor applications, describe how to evaluate the board with and without the SPIO-4 board, and provides the schematic and BOM.
