TEMPERATURE MONITOR AND PROTECTION

iC-HTP includes an 8 bit temperature monitor that al-

lows to measure the internal chip temperature going

from -40 °C to 125 °C. The resolution is 1 °C/LSB. The

internal temperature can be obtained by reading TEMP

Table 76: Chip temperature

Absolute read values may differ from one chip to an-

other. An individual initial calibration of the temper-

ature monitor is recommended. The TEMP register

must be read at a known temperature. Using the reso-

lution value of 1 °C/LSB, the internal temperature can

be calculated.

The temperature monitor can be used to compensate

temperature effects on the laser diode. The microcon-

troller can use a laser diode characteristic formula or a

look-up table combined with the temperature value mea-

sured through TEMP register. The reference voltage

can be configured accordingly in order to compensate

temperature effects.

iC-HTP is protected against overtemperature. In iC-WK

mode, if the internal temperature value exceeds the

overtemperature threshold an OVT error event will be

triggered and signaled through pin NCHK. Both laser

channels will be disabled. Pin NCHK will keep signaling

the error although the internal temperature goes down

to a safe value below the overtemperature threshold

value. If the temperature has exceeded the overtem-

perature threshold value, pins EC1 and EC2 have to be

pulled lo in order to stop signaling the error. Setting pin

ECx back hi will re-enable the corresponding channel.

In microcontroller mode, if the internal temperature

exceeds a safety value an overtemperature error bit

(OVT) will be set to 1. If OVT = 1, both channels will be

disabled and the error event will be signaled through

NCHK pin. If the internal temperature goes down to a

safe value below the overtemperature threshold value,

OVT will remain at value 1. Reading the OVT bit stop

signaling error through pin NCHK. Reading OVT bit will

set it back to 0. Setting ECx pin lo and then back hi will

allow re-enabling the corresponding channel.

The overtemperature threshold value can not be config-

ured.

Table 77: Overtemperature

In microcontroller mode it is possible to simulate an

overtemperature event using SOVT bit. Setting SOVT

to 1, the overtemperature error flag OVT will be set to

1. iC-HTP will remain in error state until SOVT is set

back to 0.
