There is now a broad selection of sensor types, one of which should match your systems need
2、s. Until recently, all the temperature sensors on the market provided analog outputs. Thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples were followed by another analog-output device, the silicon temperature sensor. In most applications, unfortunately, these analog-output devices require a comparator, an ADC, or
3、an amplifier at their output to make them useful. Thus, when higher levels of integration became feasible, temperature sensors with digital interfaces became available. These ICs are sold in a variety of forms, from simple devices that signal when a specific temperature has been exceeded to those th
4、at report both remote and local temperatures while providing warnings at programmed temperature settings. The choice now isnt simply between analog-output and digital-output sensors; there is a broad range of sensor types from which to choose. Classes of Temperature Sensors Four temperature-sensor t
5、ypes are illustrated in Figure 1. An ideal analog sensor provides an output voltage that is a perfectly linear function of temperature (A). In the digital I/O class of sensor (B), temperature data in the form of multiple 1s and 0s are passed to the microcontroller, often via a serial bus. Along the
6、same bus, data are sent to the temperature sensor from the microcontroller, usually to set the temperature limit at which the alert pins digital output will trip. Alert interrupts the microcontroller when the temperature limit has been exceeded. This type of device can also provide fan control. Figu
7、re 1. Sensor and IC manufacturers currently offer four classes of temperature sensors. Analog-plus sensors (C) are available with various types of digital outputs. The VOUT versus temperature curve is for an IC whose digital output switches when a specific temperature has been exceeded. In this case
8、, the plus added to the analog temperature sensor is nothing more than a comparator and a voltage reference. Other types of plus parts ship temperature data in the form of the delay time after the part has been strobed, or in the form of the frequency or the period of a square wave, which will be di
9、scussed later. The system monitor (D) is the most complex IC of the four. In addition to the functions provided by the digital I/O type, this type of device commonly monitors the system supply voltages, providing an alarm when voltages rise above or sink below limits set via the I/O bus. Fan monitor
10、ing and/or control is sometimes included in this type of IC. In some cases, this class of device is used to determine whether or not a fan is working. More complex versions control the fan as a function of one or more measured temperatures. The system monitor sensor is not discussed here but is brie
11、fly mentioned to give a complete picture of the types of temperature sensors available. Analog-Output Temperature Sensors Thermistors and silicon temperature sensors are widely used forms of analog-output temperature sensors. Figure 2 clearly shows that when a linear relationship between voltage and
12、 temperature is needed, a silicon temperature sensor is a far better choice than a thermistor. Over a narrow temperature range, however, thermistors can provide reasonable linearity and good sensitivity. Many circuits originally constructed with thermistors have over time been updated using silicon
13、temperature sensors. Figure 2. The linearity of thermistors and silicon temperature sensors, two popular analog-output temperature detectors, is contrasted sharply. Silicon temperature sensors come with different output scales and offsets. Some, for example, are available with output transfer functi
14、ons that are proportional to K, others to C or F. Some of the C parts provide an offset so that negative temperatures can be monitored using a single-ended supply. In most applications, the output of these devices is fed into a comparator or an A/D converter to convert the temperature data into a di
15、gital format. Despite the need for these additional devices, thermistors and silicon temperature sensors continue to enjoy popularity due to low cost and convenience of use in many situations. Digital I/O Temperature Sensors About five years ago, a new type of temperature sensor was introduced. Thes
16、e devices include a digital interface that permits communication with a microcontroller. The interface is usually an IC or SMBus serial bus, but other serial interfaces such as SPI are common. In addition to reporting temperature readings to the microcontroller, the interface also receives instructi
17、ons from the microcontroller. Those instructions are often temperature limits, which, if exceeded, activate a digital signal on the temperature sensor IC that interrupts the microcontroller. The microcontroller is then able to adjust fan speed or back off the speed of a microprocessor, for example,
18、to keep temperature under control. This type of device is available with a wide variety of features, among them, remote temperature sensing. To enable remote sensing, most high-performance CPUs include an on-chip transistor that provides a voltage analog of the temperature. (Only one of the transist
19、ors two p-n junctions is used.) Figure 3 shows a remote CPU being monitored using this technique. Other applications utilize a discrete transistor to perform the same function. Figure 3. A user-programmable temperature sensor monitors the temperature of a remote CPUs on-chip p-n junction. Another im
20、portant feature found on some of these types of sensors (including the sensor shown in Figure 3) is the ability to interrupt a microcontroller when the measured temperature falls outside a range bounded by high and low limits. On other sensors, an interrupt is generated when the measured temperature
21、 exceeds either a high or a low temperature threshold (i.e., not both). For the sensor in Figure 3, those limits are transmitted to the temperature sensor via the SMBus interface. If the temperature moves above or below the circumscribed range, the alert signal interrupts the processor. Pictured in
22、Figure 4 is a similar device. Instead of monitoring one p-n junction, however, it monitors four junctions and its own internal temperature. Because Maxims MAX1668 consumes a small amount of power, its internal temperature is close to the ambient temperature. Measuring the ambient temperature gives a
23、n indication as to whether or not the system fan is operating properly. Figure 4. A user-programmable temperature sensor monitors its own local temperature and the temperatures of four remote p-n junctions. Controlling a fan while monitoring remote temperature is the chief function of the IC shown i
24、n Figure 5. Users of this part can choose between two different modes of fan control. In the PWM mode, the microcontroller controls the fan speed as a function of the measured temperature by changing the duty cycle of the signal sent to the fan. This permits the power consumption to be far less than
25、 that of the linear mode of control that this part also provides. Because some fans emit an audible sound at the frequency of the PWM signal controlling it, the linear mode can be advantageous, but at the price of higher power consumption and additional circuitry. The added power consumption is a sm
26、all fraction of the power consumed by the entire system, though. Figure 5. A fan controller/temperature sensor IC uses either a PWM- or linear-mode control scheme. This IC provides the alert signal that interrupts the microcontroller when the temperature violates specified limits. A safety feature i
27、n the form of the signal called overt (an abbreviated version of over temperature) is also provided. If the microcontroller or the software were to lock up while temperature is rising to a dangerous level, the alert signal would no longer be useful. However, overt, which goes active once the tempera
28、ture rises above a level set via the SMBus, is typically used to control circuitry without the aid of the microcontroller. Thus, in this high-temperature scenario with the microcontroller not functioning, overt could be used to shut down the system power supplies directly, without the microcontrolle
29、r, and prevent a potentially catastrophic failure. This digital I/O class of devices finds widespread use in servers, battery packs, and hard-disk drives. Temperature is monitored in numerous locations to increase a servers reliability: at the motherboard (which is essentially the ambient temperatur
30、e inside the chassis), inside the CPU die, and at other heat-generating components such as graphics accelerators and hard-disk drives. Battery packs incorporate temperature sensors for safety reasons and to optimize charging profiles, which maximizes battery life. There are two good reasons for moni
31、toring the temperature of a hard-disk drive, which depends primarily on the speed of the spindle motor and the ambient temperature: The read errors in a drive increase at temperature extremes, and a hard disks MTBF is improved significantly through temperature control. By measuring the temperature w
32、ithin the system, you can control motor speed to optimize reliability and performance. The drive can also be shut down. In high-end systems, alerts can be generated for the system administrator to indicate temperature extremes or situations where data loss is possible. Analog-Plus Temperature Sensor
33、s Analog-plus sensors are generally suited to simpler measurement applications. These ICs generate a logic output derived from the measured temperature and are distinguished from digital I/O sensors primarily because they output data on a single line, as opposed to a serial bus. In the simplest inst
34、ance of an analog-plus sensor, the logic output trips when a specific temperature is exceeded. Some of these devices are tripped when temperature rises above a preset threshold, others, when temperature drops below a threshold. Some of these sensors allow the temperature threshold to be adjusted wit
35、h a resistor, whereas others have fixed thresholds. The devices shown in Figure 6 are purchased with a specific internal temperature threshold. The three circuits illustrate common uses for this type of device: providing a warning, shutting down a piece of equipment, or turning on a fan. Figure 6. I
36、Cs that signal when a temperature has been exceeded are well suited for over/undertemperature alarms and simple on/off fan control. When an actual temperature reading is needed, and a microcontroller is available, sensors that transmit the reading on a single line can be useful. With the microcontro
37、llers internal counter measuring time, the signals from this type of temperature sensor are readily transformed to a measure of temperature. The sensor in Figure 7 outputs a square wave whose frequency is proportional to the ambient temperature in Kelvin. The device in Figure 8 is similar, but the p
38、eriod of the square wave is proportional to the ambient temperature in kelvins. Figure 7. A temperature sensor that transmits a square wave whose frequency is proportional to the measured temperature in Kelvin forms part of a heater controller circuit. Figure 8. This temperature sensor transmits a s
39、quare wave whose period is proportional to the measured temperature in Kelvin. Because only a single line is needed to send temperature information, just a single optoisolator is required to isolate the signal path. Figure 9, a truly novel approach, allows up to eight temperature sensors to be conne
40、cted on this common line. The process of extracting temperature data from these sensors begins when the microcontrollers I/O port strobes all the sensors on the line simultaneously. The microcontroller is then quickly reconfigured as an input in order to receive data from each of the sensors. The da
41、ta are encoded as the amount of time that transpires after the sensors are strobed. Each of the sensors encodes this time after the strobe pulse within a specific range of time. Collisions are avoided by assigning each sensor its own permissible time range. Figure 9. A microcontroller strobes up to
42、eight temperature sensors connected on a common line and receives the temperature data transmitted from each sensor on the same line. The accuracy achieved by this method is surprisingly high: 0.8C is typical at room temperature, precisely matching that of the IC that encodes temperature data in the
43、 form of the frequency of the transmitted square wave. The same is true of the device that uses the period of the square wave. These devices are outstanding in wire-limited applications. For example, when a temperature sensor must be isolated from the microcontroller, costs are kept to a minimum bec
44、ause only one optoisolator is needed. These sensors are also of great utility in automotive and HVAC applications, because they reduce the amount of copper running over distances. Anticipated Temperature Sensor Developments IC temperature sensors provide a varied array of functions and interfaces. A
45、s these devices continue to evolve, system designers will see more application-specific features as well as new ways of interfacing the sensors to the system. Finally, the ability of chip designers to integrate more electronics in the same die area ensures that temperature sensors will soon include
46、new functions and special interfaces. 中文翻译 温度传感器芯片简化设计 当选择一个温度传感器时，将不再局限于模拟输出或数字输出设备。现在有的传感器类型，会让你有很大的选择空间。在市场上的所有的温度传感器提供模拟输出。热敏电阻、 RTDs 和热电偶是另一种模拟输出设备，硅温度传感器。在大多数应用程序中，不幸的是，这些模拟输出设备需要比较器、 ADC 或在他们的输出放大器。因此，当更高的级别，集成的变得可行，数字接口的温度传感器成为可用。这些芯片在多种形式出售，从简单信号在特定温度时的设备已超过那些报告同时提供警告在升温设置的远程和本地的温度。选择现在不是简单
