Description

The AS8118 is a very accurate single-phase bi-directional

instantaneous energy measurement integrated circuit,

which surpasses all the accuracy requirements for

IEC1036 alternating current static watt-hour meters. The

measured energy is converted into pulses with the number

of output pulses being proportional to the measured

energy.

The AS8118 is ideal for use in ‘stand alone’ kWh meter

applications, where the IC directly drives an

electromechanical counter with a two-phase stepper

motor, or for more complex meter applications, the

AS8118 interfaces directly to a micro-controller.

The highly integrated AS8118 design includes all the

required functional blocks. The blocks comprise of analog

to digital converters (ADC) for the voltage and current

channels, digital filters, a digital signal processing block, a

control block and non-volatile calibration memory for the

on-chip programming. The on-chip programming enables

the setting of the current input gain, the anti-creep

threshold, the output pulse rates and the system

calibration. The high level of integration ensures a

minimum number of non-critical external components are

required.

The on-chip anti-creep circuit ensures that the AS8118

does not output pulses when the meter is in a no-load

condition and that the IEC1036 anti-creep test

requirements are fully complied with, for both direct or

transformer connection meters.

The AS8118 offers three different pulse outputs. A stepper

motor drive output for directly driving a stepper motor

display, a LED output for energy consumption indication

and a dedicated high frequency output for fast single point

system calibration.

The AS8118 is available in either surface mount SOIC-18

or dual-in-line DIP-18 packages.

Functional Descri pti on

The AS8118 is a CMOS mixed signal integrated circuit that measures electrical power over a dynamic range of 600:1, to an

accuracy of better than 0.1%.

The AS8118 comprises of standard functional blocks including two sigma/delta modulators, which convert the analog voltage

and current input signals into digital signals. The voltage and current signals are then digitally filtered, which eliminates

offsets thus enabling a single point calibration cycle. A power calculation block calculates the active energy value. An on-chip

voltage reference (±30ppm/K typical), oscillator and non-volatile calibration registers and control block for programming the

AS8118 completes the core functional elements.

Programming of the AS8118 enables the device to be configured to suite the users specific input and output requirements

and allows for fast and efficient calibration. The AS8118 device provides the user with two complete opportunities to

programme the device. The following parameters may be programmed via the on-chip non-volatile memory:

- Current channel input gain

- Calibration pulse output frequency

- Stepper motor output drive frequency

- LED output frequency

- Anti-creep threshold

- Calibration constant

A detailed description of the versatility of the AS8118 is given below.

Current Inputs for Energy Calculation

The current channel input consisting of inputs IP and IN is differential and connected to a low resistance shunt or current

transformer, in series with the load. The current input signal level may be programmed by means of an on-chip

programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The gain is selected through the programming of 2 bits in the on-chip memory as

follows:

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 6 of 30

For optimum operating conditions, the input signal at the Maximum Current (IMAX) condition should be set at ±30mV peak,

when the input Gain = 20, or ±150mV peak, when the input Gain = 4.

The default gain, namely the AS8118 setting which is available without any programming required, is Gain = 20.

The value of an ideal shunt resistor, may be calculated as follows:

Assuming an IMAX rating of 60A (rms) → 84.85A (peak), then a shunt value of 350µΩ would be suitable.

The mains current is sampled at 1.7478kHz, assuming that the recommended crystal oscillator frequency of 3.5795MHz, is

used.

Voltage Input for Energy Calculation

The voltage channel input consists of inputs VP and VN, which are is differential, with VP connected to the tap of a resistor

divider circuit of the line voltage and VN connected to Ground. For optimum operating conditions, the input signal at VP with

respect to VN, should be set at 150mV peak for the rated line voltage condition.

The maximum voltage on VP for the specified operation is 210mV with respect to VSS. The maximum allowed voltage signal

at VP, which ensures that pulses are still provided at the output, is 300mV with respect to VSS. Both VP and VN have

internal ESD protection and an over-voltage of ±7V can be sustained on these pins without risk of permanent damage to the

device.

The resistor values for an ideal voltage divider, may be calculated as follows:

Assuming a Vmains of 230V (rms) → 325V (peak) and according to the voltage divider shown below, the value for

R2 = 820Ω, the value of R1A+R1B may be calculated as follows:

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 7 of 30

Digital Filters

The current and voltage channels have been identically implemented with digital high pass filters in both channels, thus

eliminating offsets.

The filters ensure that there are no phase errors introduced between the voltage and current channels, enabling single point

calibration.

Energy to Pulse Output Conversion

The energy value is accumulated in the energy accumulator and compared with the default or programmed threshold level,

following each sample. The threshold represents the pul se equ ivalent energy value. If the energy value goes above the

threshold, a pulse is generated and presented to the output. Each time a pulse is generated the threshold value is subtracted

from the contents of the energy accumulator.

The remaining energy, namely the energy value above the threshold value is retained in the accumulator. Further measured

energy is added to the retained value in the accumulator and a pulse is again generated and presented to the output, when

the value again exceeds the threshold value. Thus no energy is lost during the energy to pulse output conversion process.

The voltage and current signals are sampled at 1.7478kHz. The sample rate is derived from the main clock (FMCLK) as

follows:

3.57945 MHz / 8*256 = 1.7478 kHz

The number of measured harmonics is defined by the sample rates of the voltage and current input signals. The maximum

bandwidth, which is half the sample frequency, is calculated as follows:

1.7478/2 kHz = 873.9 Hz

Thus, depending on the mains frequency, the measured energy is up to the following harmonics:

50Hz mains = 17th harmonic

60Hz mains = 14th harmonic

Energy Pulse Outputs

The AS8118 has three different pulse outputs. All the outputs are derived directly from the measured energy; thus, the

outputs can be used for energy accumulation and for calibration purposes. The output options include the following:

- CAL: A higher pulse rate output for fast calibration

- MOP/MON: Low pulse rate outputs for directly driving a stepper motor

- LED: A low pulse rate output which may be used to directly drive a LED for displaying power consumption

Calibration Pulse Output (CAL): The CAL output is a high frequency output, the frequency of which is proportional to the real

power measured.

The output pulse rate is programmable via the on-chip memory and allows for 4 pulse rate options:

Parameter: F_cal_sel

Setting CAL Output Pulse Rate

01 MON/MOP x 16

10 MON/MOP x 32

11 MON/MOP x 64

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 8 of 30

The default pulse rate of CAL is MON/MOP x 16. The default pulse rate is the pulse rate available at the output, without any

programming required to the AS8118.

(Note: As the default pulse rate of MON/MOP is 400 imp/kWh, the actual CAL default pulse rate is 400 x 16 = 6,400

imp/kWh)

As an example, the maximum selectable pulse rate of CAL is 64 * 800 = 51,200 imp/kWh (See MON/MOP below)

The CAL pulse width is fixed at 1ms and is shown in the Timing Diagram and Ti ming Parameters that follow.

Stepper Motor Drive Outputs (MON & MOP): The MON and MOP outputs may be used to directly drive an electromechanical

counter or a stepper motor counter. The output frequencies are proportional to the real power measured. The required format

of the signal for driving a mechanical counter, activated by a 2-phase stepper motor is provided by the difference between

the MON and MOP outputs.

The output pulse rate is programmable via the on-chip memory, with 4 pulse rate options being available:

Parameter: F_mon_sel

Setting MON/MOP Output Pulse Rate

00 100 imp/kWh

01 200 imp/kWh

10 400 imp/kWh

11 800 imp/kWh

The default MON/MOP pulse rate is set at 400 imp/kWh. The default pulse rate is the pulse rate available at the output,

without any programming required to the AS8118.

The MON and MOP outputs shown in Figure 4 are capable of driving 10mA at VOH = 4.0V and VOL = 0.4V.

The widths of the MON/MOP pulses are 200ms for all settings up to 800imp/kWh. Above 800imp/kWh, the MON/MOP pulse

widths maintain a constant 50% duty cycle and is shown in the Timing Diagram and Timing Parame ters that follows.

LED Driver Pulse Output (LED): The LED output is a low frequency output, the frequency of which is proportional to the real

power measured. The pulse rate is programmable via the on-chip memory the selected pulse rate is independent of the

settings of both the selected CAL and the MON/MOP settings.

Parameter: F_led_sel

011 800 imp/kWh

100 1600 imp/kWh

101 3200 imp/kWh

110 6400 imp/kWh

The default LED pulse rate is set at 3200 imp/kWh. The default frequency is the frequency available at the output, without

any programming required to the AS8118.

The LED output is capable of driving 10mA at VOH = 4.0V and VOL = 0.4V.

The width of the LED pulse is 80 ms for all settings except where the LED stream is shorter than 160ms. In this case, a 50%

duty cycle is maintained. The format of the LED signal is shown in the Timing Diagram and Timing Parameters below.

Anti-Creep Threshold Setting

The anti-creep threshold is programmable to ensure that the set threshold lies between the anti-creep current, a current level

at which no pulses must be generated and the start current. The programmable threshold levels have been set to

accommodate the various specified base currents (IB) of the meter and if the meter is direct connection (shunt resistor) or

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 11 of 30

Direction Input (DIRI)

The direction input pin (DIRI) is used to program the AS8118 for either bi-directional energy measurement, or unidirectional

measurement.

Bi-directional measurement mode ensures that all energy is measured regardless of the direction of the current through the

current sensor. In unidirectional energy measurement mode, all negative going energy is suppressed and thus excluded from

the accumulated energy value.

The programming conditions for the DIRI pin are given below:

DIRI Pin Mode

0 Unidirectional

1Bi-directional

The default condition, when the DIRI pin is not connected is bi-directional energy measurement, as the DIRI pin has an on-

chip pull-up resistor.

Direction Output (DIRO)

The Direction Output pin (DIRO) is a logic output providing information on the direction of the current flow through the current

sensor. The DIRO output may be used to directly drive an LED to indicate a reversal in the direction of current flow.

The timing diagram below demonstrates the operation of the DIRO output and the pulse outputs (MOP/MON, CAL and LED)

relative to the sign of the measured energy and the setting of the DIRI input.

For illustration purposes, the timing diagram below only shows the LED output.

The timing diagram above demonstrates the state of both the LED and DIRO output pins depending on the input conditions:

1. The voltage input (VP) and current input (IP) are in phase and the direction input DIRI is set to ‘Unidirectional’ mode.

Pulses are available at the LED output and DIRO indicates a positive energy flow.

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 12 of 30

2. The voltage input (VP) and current input (IP) are in phase and the direction input DIRI is set to ‘Bidirectional’ mode.

Pulses are available at the LED output and DIRO indicates a positive energy flow.

3. The voltage input (VP) and current input (IP) are out of phase and the direction input DIRI is set to ’Unidirectional’

mode. Pulses are no longer available at the LED output as negative going energy is not measured. The direction

output DIRO indicates a change in direction of the input current at IP.

4. The voltage input (VP) and current input (IP) are out of phase. The direction input DIRI is set to ‘Bidirectional’ mode.

Pulses are again available at the LED output and the direction output DIRO indicates a change in direction of the

input current at IP.

Crystal Oscillator

The AS8118 has an on-chip crystal oscillator, with the recommended 3.5795MHz crystal connected to the XIN (Crystal Input)

and XOUT (Crystal Output) pins. The 3.5795MHz crystal is recommended, as it is a standard low cost component.

Alternatively, an external clock signal may be applied to XIN. In this case, XOUT should not be connected.

Test Mode (TM)

On ‘power up’, the test mode input defines the mode of operation of the device. Either ‘Normal Operation’, or ‘Programming’

modes may be selected. TM has an on-chip pull down resistor and should be left unconnected during ‘Normal Operation’. TM

must be set to logic ‘1’ at ‘power up’ to set device in ‘Programming’ mode.

The AS8118 programming procedure is defined in detail in the following paragraphs.

Power Supply Monitor

The AS8118 has an on-chip power supply monitor (PSM) which resets the complete device once the supply voltage drops

below the specified threshold of 3.5V ±5%.

Programmi ng the AS8118

The AS8118 is a programmable device, which uses on-chip zener diodes to permanently program specific data such as

current input channel gain, pulse-level, meter constant settings and system calibration. This programming operation is also

called ‘burn’ which relates to the permanent physical change of the on-chip zener diodes electrical behavior. Another term for

‘permanent programming’ is OTP (One-Time-Programming).

Two banks of zener diodes are available in the AS8118 in order to allow a second calibration. By programming the 2nd bank

of zener diodes, this bank will subsequently be used (bank-select-bit). During power-up of AS8118, a readout of all zener

diodes occurs and the data of the active bank is used.

The AS8118 may also be used with the default operating parameters, which have been defined earlier in this document. If

the user wishes to alter the operating parameters, the AS8118 may simply be programmed to provide the required operating

parameters. Fast meter system calibration may also be carried out as part of the AS8118 programming procedure, providing

long term meter system stability.

The AS8118 can be operated in one of two modes. The two modes are:

- Normal Operation Mode: Normal operation is the mode in which the device operates to perform the kWh metering

function, for which the device is designed.

- Programming Mode: Programming is the mode in which the AS8118 is set to perform the programming operations. When

in Programming mode, two different operations may be carried out:

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 13 of 30

- Test Write: Test Write enables the writing of data to a register in the device and for the resultant chip behaviour to be

investigated, before the data is written permanently to the non-volatile PROM (programmable read only memory)

memory.

- Burn: Burn is the programming cycle that ensures that the required data is permanently written to the non-volatile

PROM (programmable read only memory).

During Programming mode all pulse outputs (MOP/MON, CAL and LED) can be accessed.

The AS8118 may only be set up in one of these two modes during the ‘power up’ cycle of the device. The mode is selected

by programming the TM and DIRO at ‘power up’ as shown in the table below:

Mode of Operation TM DIRO

Normal Operation 0 X

Programming 1 0

Note: Pin DIRO has an on-chip internal pull-down resistor, thus the pin may be left open or tied ‘low’ for both Normal

Operation and Programming modes. The default mode is thus Normal Operation mode, with the AS8118 only being set to

Programming mode when TM is pulled high during power up.

The analog input pin PROG is also required for the programming of the AS8118. During Test-Write PROG is used to transfer

digital data to the internal register. During Burn it is used to change the states of the internal PROM cells.

When in Programming mode, the AS8118 must be powered down before the device can enter Normal Operation mode.

PROM Definition and Contents

The “Default” values are hard coded on-chip outside the PROM block. Only once the Sel_def bit has been set, are the PROM

parameters selected by the AS8118.

Two PROM banks are defined as ‘Bank 0’ and ‘Bank 1’. This feature allows for a complete reprogramming cycle if necessary.

The required bank is selected with the bit called Bank01.

The calibration of the AS8118 adjusts the specific pulse-level (Pulse_lev), which defines exactly the energy level when a

pulse has to be generated and presented to the output. This pulse-level is used to define a very fast internal pulse rate from

which the external pulse outputs are derived. Therefore, the AS8118 is extremely flexible in defining pulse output rates as

required for a specified kWh meter.

The parameters F_mon_sel, F_cal_sel and F_led_sel are used to define the pulse rates for the pins MOP/MON, CAL and

LED.

The Acreep_sel bit defines the threshold for the current for when no pulses should be transmitted.

Calculations for Calibration

This paragraph describes how to successfully calibrate the AS8118 device. The parameter Pulse_lev is the main parameter

to determine the basic internal (very fast) frequency. This frequency relates to the measured power and is the basis from

which all the output pulse rates namely, MOP/MON, CAL and LED are derived.

Prior to system calibration, the appropriate value for the parameter Pulse_lev must be calculated to produce the required

output pulse rates for MOP/MON, CAL and LED. The calibration exercise must accommodate all system non-idealities that

are present in the meter system.

There are two calibration methods available to find the appropriate value of Pulse_lev, namely:

- Defined current and calibration time method

- Comparison method

It is also possible to perform:

- Calibration without on-chip programming

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 15 of 30

Defined Current and Calibration Time Method

The AS8118 generates a pulse whenever the internal energy accumulator contains a value, which is greater than a

programmed threshold. This threshold is the parameter Pulse_lev. This parameter depends on the basic meter properties,

the mains voltage Vmains and the maximum current to be measured, Imax. Furthermore, it is assumed that through a resistor

divider Vmains is scaled down to match the maximum input range of the VP input.

Firstly, an ideal value for Pulse_lev is calculated. This is the value, which would have to be programmed into the AS8118

device if the meter system was perfect.

The following formula calculates this ideal value of Pulse_lev:

435924

20230 *

)ideal(lev_Pulse maxmains

A calibration is performed to compensate for system non-idealities like resistor tolerances etc. The effect of these non-

idealities is that with the ideal Pulse_lev value the pulse rates will not be correct. In order to calibrate the meter, a new

Pulse_lev value has to be found. Figure 6 shows the basic calibration setup. CAL pulses from a meter built with the AS8118

are counted during a defined time period tc, while an accurately defined calibration current Ical, is being measured.

Calboard

Again, if the system was perfect we would expect a certain number of pulses to be counted, the ideal number of pulses, Ni:

10003600 *Ical*V*tc*PR

Ni mains

where tc is in seconds.

PR is the pulse rate on pin CAL, which can be calculated from the PROM parameters F_mon_sel and F_cal_sel:

Fcal*FmonPR =

where Fmon [imp/kWh] is the pulse rate selected by F_mon_sel and Fcal is the multiplier selected by F_cal_sel.

If pin LED is used for calibration then PR is the pulse rate on pin LED (selected by F_led_sel).

The corrected value for Pulse_lev can now be calculated using the following formula:

*)ideal(lev_Pulse)corrected(lev_Pulse =,

where Nr is the real number of pulses, i.e. the number of pulses counted during tc.

Calibrate a meter with Vmains = 230V, Imax = 40A and Ical = 10A. Calibration time is 20 seconds, the PROM settings for the

Thus 164 pulses are expected during the 20 seconds calibration time. (For this example it is not important what error is

introduced with this setting!).

This pulse level must then be written to the PROM so that Nr equals Ni.

Comparison Method

Most common, is the comparison of energy reading of the meter under test against a standard or reference meter. Normally,

the standard, or reference meter has a considerably higher pulse rate than the meter under calibration. In this case, the

absolute calibration time is not important for the calculations. The basic calibration setup is shown below:

Figure 7 Basic calibration setup for comparison calibration method

The standard or reference meter pulses are counted between two or more pulses from the meter to be calibrated. Ideally the

sum of the pulses would exactly be the ratio between standard meter pulse rate and the pulse rate of the meter under test.

From the deviation the corrected Pulse_lev may be calculated.

*)ideal(lev_Pulse)corrected(lev_Pulse =,

Where Nr is the number of pulses counted from the standard or reference meter and Ni is the ratio between the pulse rates,

which is always >1. The formula for Ni is as follows:

Fcal*Fmon )ref(PR

Ni =,

This is assuming that the CAL pulse output is used for calibration. If the LED pulse output is used for calibration, the following

formula should be used:

Fled )ref(PR

Ni =

The Pulse_lev (ideal) is calculated using the following formula:

435924

20230 *

)ideal(lev_Pulse maxmains

It is important to note that the formula for Pulse_lev (corrected) above should not be confused with the formula in the

previous method of calibration for ‘Defined Current and Calibration Time’ method, where Ni and Nr are reversed.

Example

The reference meter has a pulse rate, which is 10,000 times greater than the pulse rate of the AS8118 CAL output. During a

calibration cycle we measure 11,000 pulses between two CAL pulses. Therefore the ideal pulse-level has to be changed by a

factor of 10,000/11,000 = 0.909.

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 18 of 30

Calibration without On-Chip Programming

It is also possible to calibrate a kWh meter using the AS8118 by means of an external resistor network or trim-potentiometer.

In this case, the parameters for the required pulse outputs are programmed into the device, along with the ideal value for

Pulse_lev as defined in the formula above. A resistor network may then be used in the voltage divider for the voltage input

setting, which is then trimmed until the measured pulse rate matches the ideal pulse rate.

In the case for kWh meter designs, which include a µ-controller and non-volatile memory, again, the parameters for the

required pulse outputs are programmed into the device, along with the ideal value for Pulse_lev as defined in the formula

above. The calibration may then be performed in the µ-controller.

Defining the Programmed Word

The AS8118 allows for all on-chip programmable functions to be reprogrammed a second time. It is important to always use

the Bank ‘0‘ as the first programming option. This is necessary as once Bank ‘1‘ has been selected and this selection has

been permanently ‘Burned‘ into the AS8118 device, Bank ‘0‘ can no longer be selected.

When programming the AS8118, the Bank that is NOT selected should have all ‘0‘ values as the programmed values.

Confirmation of this is shown in the example below, where Bank ‘0‘ has been selected for programming. All the programme

bits of Bank ‘1‘ have been programmed as ‘0‘.

Important: The value of Bit [0] must always be ‘1‘ when programming the AS8118, regardless of the memory bank being

programmed. The Bits [69:68] are not used and are thus ‘Don’t Care‘ bits. The programmed value may be ‘1‘ or ‘0‘.

An example of the word to be programmed to the AS8118 should look as follows:

Bit Number Bit Value Description

[69:68] 00 Not used bits

[23:2] 0x06A6D4 Bank 0: Pulse_lev: 435924

[1] 0 Select Bank 0

[0] 1 Select programmed values

After selecting all PROM parameters as required a complete 70-bit word (including two overhead bits) is formed, which must

be written to the PROM.

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 19 of 30

Testwrite

Testwrite means that the word to be programmed is simply written to an on-chip shift register so that the resulting behavior of

the AS8118 device may be examined. Once the PROM word is confirmed correct, it may be burned into the device. i.e.

Irreversibly written to the AS8118.

Until the data has been burned into the device, in other words, if only a Testwrite procedure has been performed, the data

will be lost when the supply is removed from the AS8118 device.

Due to the respective on-chip processing it is required to testwrite the inverse of the word to be programmed. Continuing with

the above example the word defined in the example should be as follows:

69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51

On the first falling TM edge the mode (Testwrite) is defined. On the next rising TM edge the procedure is started. Afterwards

70 clocks have to be sent to DIRO. As can be seen the logic level on PROG prior to the positive DIRO edges defines the

state to be shifted into the internal register.

Important timing parameters are:

f1: Maximum frequency, must not exceed 50kHz

t2: Data setup time, minimum is 100ns

t3: Data storage time: the programmed bit is stored after approximately 20ns

Burn

The Burn procedure irreversibly writes data to the PROM. To do this, the 1s in the original word to be programmed must be

burned.

Note: High and Low refers to VDD and VSS respectively.

The first falling and rising edges on TM define the burn mode and starts it (as can be seen DIRO must be set to logic ‘high’ at

the falling edge, but must be low at the rising edge). Then the first PROM cell is selected. After each rising clock edge on

DIRO the next PROM cell is selected going from MSB to LSB. While one of the PROM cells is selected a defined (low-active)

pulse on TM must be applied to “burn” the respective PROM cell, i.e. write a permanent logic-1 to it.

Important specifications are:

Tburn: Temperature during burn cycle: 25°C ± 10°C

Vburn: 7.50 ± 0.25V (at the AS8118 PROG pin)

f1: Maximum DIRO clock frequency is 100kHz

t1: The burn pulse must have a delay of at least 1µs after the previous positive DIRO clock edge

t2: After one burn pulse there must be a delay of at least 1µs before the next PROM cell is selected

t3: The burn pulse width is defined to be 1.0 ± 0.2µs. The rise and fall time of the burn pulses on TM must be less than 50ns.

After a burn cycle has been completed, a read cycle must be initiated so that the actual data is loaded. (After “burn” the data

in the internal register is inverted!)

Read

The conditions for ‘burn’ are specified very tightly. In order to be certain that the ‘burn’ process was successful this process

has to be verified. There are 2 modes of readout, a digital readout and analog readout.

Data Sheet AS8118

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 21 of 30

Digital readout uses the threshold of the comparator internal to the AS8118. Thus, the result, which can be observed on the

CAL pin, is the same as that used internally by the AS8118. Digital readout does NOT allow the quality of the ‘burn’ to be

evaluated.

Analog readout does allow for the verification of the analog value of the zener diodes. With analog readout, the quality of the

‘burn’ can be verified.

In order to verify the ‘burn’ process, an ‘analog readout’ of the zener diodes voltages has to be performed as the last step

after calibration. This can be done during the ‘read’ process, which may be started during calibration mode. The goal is to

verify that burned diodes show a voltage level of not more than 0.5V during the analog readout and the ‘unburned’ diodes a

voltage level of more than 2.4V.

Digital Readout

The AS8118 offers the customer the ability to read the PROM data. For example, it may be necessary to examine if a device

has been calibrated already and what value is correctly stored in the PROM. For the read mode the same two digital inputs

(TM and DIRO) are used as for ‘testwrite’ and ‘burn’. As can be seen in the following timing diagram the read mode is

selected by setting DIRO=1 while there is a rising edge on TM. (This assumes that one of the 3 modes has been completed

or the chip has just been powered up, i.e. the chip expects to enter a new mode.)

The following timing diagram shows the digital readout of the zener diodes:

Note:

1. High and Low refers to VDD and VSS respectively.

2. In this case, the term ‘digital’ means that there is an on-chip comparator, which decides on the values of the bits, 0 or 1,

relative to a certain threshold; it neither guarantees the burned zener diodes voltage level to be below 0.5V (ZVB) nor a

value for unburned zener diodes of higher than 2.4V (ZVUB) as shown in the Operating Conditions.

After starting read mode with each rising edge on DIRO one of the PROM cells is selected. Its content is stored in a separate

internal flip-flop, the output of which can be watched on pin CAL (only during read!). With one additional rising edge on TM

the read mode is left and pin CAL shows the normal pulse output again.

Important: The bits displayed on CAL are the inverse of the PROM contents, i.e. they have to be inverted to match with the

previous PROM contents table.

Important timings are:

f1: Maximum read frequency, for reliable reading this should not be higher than 100kHz.

t2: Delay between the two rising edges: >100ns

t3: Depending on the loading on pin CAL the delay between rising edge on TM and change of data on CAL may vary. A

typical value is 50 ns.

Revision 1.8, 15-Feb-05 Page 22 of 30

Analog Readout

The analog readout can be performed by disconnecting the PROG pin from the calibration board and starting a ‘read’

sequence. At specific points in time the voltage level on the PROG pin must be sampled. These time points are shown in the

The numbers at the bottom of this timing diagram indicate the sample points of the bits in the PROM table, at which the zener

diode voltage level can be measured and compared against the limits for burned and unburned zener diodes.

In general this readout is most important, when a new calibration system is installed. Variations on the burn voltage or even

the length of the cable connected to the AS8118 PROG pin may have an influence on the quality of the burn process.

Note:

1. There must be proper ground connection between the calibration hardware and the meter under calibration during

‘Calibration Mode’. This ensures that the programming procedure is not effected by spurious signals. Such spurious

signals could originate from load switching during calibration.

2. When using a low resistance shunt for current sensing, a small parasitic inductance introduced by the shunt can have

negative effects on the measurement accuracy. The filters on the current inputs designated by the components R5, C5

and R6, C4 provide a cancellation effect on the parasitic shunt inductance. The filters assume a typical inductance of

between 1nH and 2nH.
