  PDF, 540 Kb, File published: Sep 20, 2012
  Many Linear Technology devices use an external PNP transistor to sense temperature. Common examples are LTC3880, LTC3883 and LTC2974. Accurate temperature sensing depends on proper PNP selection, layout, and device configuration. This application note reviews the theory of temperature sensing and gives practical advice on implementation.

  Accurate Temperature Sensing with an External P-N
  Junction
  Michael Jones
  Introduction Temperature Sensing Theory Many Linear Technology devices use an external PNP
  transistor to sense temperature. Common examples are
  LTC3880, LTC3883 and LTC2974. Accurate temperature
  sensing depends on proper PNP selection, layout, and
  device configuration. This application note reviews the
  theory of temperature sensing and gives practical advice
  on implementation. Linear Technology devices use an external bipolar transistor p-n junction to measure temperature. The relationship
  between forward voltage, current, and temperature is: Why should you worry about implementing temperature
  sensing? Can’t you just put the sensor near your inductor
  and lay out your circuit any way you want? Unfortunately,
  poor routing can sacrifice temperature measurement
  performance and compensation. The purpose of this application note is to allow you the opportunity to get it right
  the first time, so you don’t have to change the layout after
  your board is fabricated.
  Why Use Temperature Sensing?
  Some Linear Technology devices measure internal and
  external temperature. Internal temperature is used to
  protect the device by shutting down operation or locking …

  Overview of the EEPROM in LTC PSM Devices
  Nick Vergunst Introduction convenient List Of All Options Linear TechnologyВ® has a large family of devices that
  provide a great deal of power and configurability for all
  applications. These parts additionally provide onboard
  nonvolatile memory (NVM) in the form of EEPROM to
  store and recall configuration parameters and on some
  devices provide a fault log and user scratch pad. Option 1A. Manual programming with LTpowerPlayв„ў
  Built In Programming Utility (PC->NVM) These Power System Management(PSM) devices’ architectures allow them to power up and load the desired
  configuration parameters from this NVM autonomously
  with no I2C or firmware interaction required.
  A common question customers ask is, “Now that I have
  settled on a particular configuration, how do I program
  this configuration into the chip’s onboard nonvolatile
  memory (NVM).”
  Some available options are presented in rough order of
  increasing complexity throughout the document.
  NOTE: Linear Technology strongly recommends
  Option 1 for preproduction prototyping, and
  OptionВ 2, Option 3 or Option 4 for higher volume
  production. Option 5 is a convenient method to
  program a small quantity of loose ICs prior to board …

  Power System Management Addressing
  Michael Jones Introduction
  The foundation of all PMBus applications, including LTCВ®
  Power System Management (PSM), is the ability for the
  PMBus master (system host) to communicate with all
  PMBus slaves (PSM controllers, PSM managers, PSM
  ВµModulesВ®, and PMBus monolithic devices) on the bus.
  Every slave on the bus must have a unique address that
  does not conflict with other devices.
  The bus master must also be able to communicate with
  PSM slaves in a few less than obvious situations: Address discovery Global actions Multiphase rails Invalid NVM Bus MUXes
  Device addressing is achieved with a combination of base
  registers plus external address select (ASEL) pins, as well
  as special global, rail, ARA, and other special addresses.
  This Application Note will present the fundamental design
  principles underlying the LTC PSM family, details on product
  family differences, as well practical examples and advice.
  Special cases, such as invalid NVM, will also be discussed.
  The benefit to you is a design that works on day one, and
  works even when things go wrong. For example, if you
  are writing to the NVM with LTpowerPlayв„ў, and power is …

  Linduino for Power System Management
  Michael Jones
  INTRODUCTION LTC3880, and the industry standards for I2C/SMBus/
  PMBus. Most Power System Management designs follow a set
  and forget model. Setup and debug of Power System
  Management (PSM) devices is simple with LTpowerPlayВ®
  and when combined with a bulk programing solution, there
  is no need for firmware. However, many large systems
  require a Board Management Controller (BMC), begging
  the question: “What can firmware do for PSM?” Linduino PSM hardware consists of a Linduino (DC2026),
  and a shield to connect (DC2294) the I2C pins of the
  Linduino to an PMBus/SMBus/I2C Bus of a demo board
  or product board. The foundation of PSM firmware is PMBus; the foundation
  of PMBus is SMBus; and the foundation of SMBus is I2C.
  Building a BMC that adds value with PSM firmware requires
  some level of knowledge of each protocol, or a pre-existing
  library that frees the programmer from the details. For optimal learning, start with a DC2026 (Linduino),
  DC2294 (Shield), DC1962 (Power Stick), and a Total
  Phase Beagle (I2C Sniffer). This allows programming,
  debugging, and learning of controllers (LTC388X) and
  managers (LTC297X). The LinduinoВ® libraries handle each protocol layer, and …

  Fault Log Decoding with Linduino PSM
  Michael Jones Introduction
  LTC power system management devices are PMBus controlled point-of-load converters (LTCВ®388X) and power
  system managers (LTC297X). All LTC power system management (PSM) devices have a fault log that is written
  to EEPROM when there is a fault. Once the fault log is
  written, fault logs are no longer generated until they are
  re-enabled, typically after the data has been read back.
  LTpowerPlayВ® helps debug a system by reading the fault
  log, decoding it into human-readable format, displaying it
  and saving it to a file. A system with a board management
  controller (BMC), can also read the fault log from EEPROM
  and re-enable it. Firmware can store, transfer over a
  network and decode fault data read from a PSM device.
  The LinduinoВ® Sketchbook contains an example sketch
  that reads fault logs, along with the supporting libraries
  for PMBus and fault log decoding.
  This application note describes the basics of reading and
  decoding fault logs using Linduino.

  In Flight Update with Linduino
  Michael Jones
  INTRODUCTION TO INFLIGHT UPDATE INFLIGHT UPDATE PROCESS Inflight Update is a method of modifying the stored settings of LTC Power System Management (PSM) devices,
  including application of the new settings, to a live system1 . The general dataflow of Infight Update is a simple linear
  progression: Inflight Update is a two-stage process: EEPROM is modified
  first, and then EEPROM is copied to RAM. During stage
  one, a Board Management Controller sends new settings
  directly to the EEPROM via PMBus while the devices are
  operating normally, without impacting operation. During
  stage two, all devices switch to the new configuration via
  a reset or a power cycle2 .
  Decoupling “programming settings” from “application of
  settings” allows the EEPROM programming mechanism
  to stage, validate, and recover from programming failure
  without interruption of delivered power. This minimizes
  system downtime because all rails are power cycled only
  once per update.
  Inflight Update solves several technical and business
  problems. Fast product development increases the probability of field problems. For example, the supervisors
  might require more margin to reduce false positives.
  An FPGA image update might require small changes to …

  Implementing Fast Telemetry with Power System
  Management Controllers
  Michael Jones
  INTRODUCTION
  The second-generation Power System Management (PSM)
  Controllers, such as the LTCВ®3887, introduce new features
  for fast telemetry1. Fast telemetry allows firmware to focus
  on a single measurement, or a fixed set of common voltage/
  current measurements to improve telemetry bandwidth
  up to 16 times. Two new commands allow control of the
  telemetry multiplexer (MFR_ADC_CONTROL) and time
  alignment (MFR_ADC_TELEMETRY_STATUS). The multiplexer can be set to a single or smaller set of measurements, and the status enables polling for a “measurement
  complete”. When combined, not only is the throughput
  improved, but there are no duplicate measurements: all
  obtained values are unique ADC measurements.
  FIRST-GENERATION ADC MULTIPLEXER
  The LTC38XX family prior to the LTC3887 (LTC3880 and
  LTC3883) uses a multiplexer and a round-robin approach
  to measurements. Measurements are always made in the
  same order, with a total loop time of approximately 100ms.
  From a firmware perspective, any given measurement is …
