CURRENT, VOLTAGE AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT MODULE FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS preliminary datasheet, version 1.2 1. General description The fully calibrated advanced sensor module IVT-A has been designed for all applications in which high currents, voltages and temperatures have to be measured. It contains a precision resistor with 100 µohm, the ISA-ASIC and all analogue circuits for a complete 4-channel 16bit data acquisition system. The internal µc is supplying the clock and controls the measurements and communication with the ISA-ASIC. The module contains a SPI interface which allows a simple integration into an external system. IVT-A 4. Start-up and operation of the module After power up, the module automatically starts to measure current and voltage alternately. Every time both measurements are done, EOC goes low for 10µs indicating that measurement values are ready to be read. The EOC frequency can be changed by setting the average counter. However values can be read every time. Changing the measurement mode (e.g. temperature) requires an external set command. The IVT-A device is SPI slave. The communication is done by the 4 isolated SPI signals lines. 5. Over Current Detection (OCD) The IVT contains an independent hardware over current detection for the positive and negative current. As soon as the over current is detected the alarm line OCS is activated which signals the external circuit an error condition. The limit is given by design to 300A. Figure 1: Picture of IVT-A 2.

IVT-B Over current detection Two Hardware comparators are directly connected to the shunt resistor, one for each current direction. Each comparator compares the voltage drop over the shunt to a threshold voltage provided by a fixed voltage divider or a software adjustable voltage. The over current signal is active low. It is isolated by the digital isolator and provided at the LV connector through a K-Line transceiver. Measurement function By power-on the device performs an internal diagnostic check. After that the user defined configuration, operation mode and overcurrent thresholds are loaded from nonvolatile memory. A Primary Channel and a Secondary Channel are measuring alternately at an internal sample rate of approx. 3500 Hz. The Primary channel always measures Input 1 (current unfiltered). The Secondary Channel may be configured to measure one of the following inputs: Input 1 Input 2 Input 3 Input 4 Input 5 CU (current unfiltered) CF (current filtered) VU (voltage unfiltered) VF (voltage filtered) T (internal temperature) There are three options of triggering the transmission of measurement results: Free running measurement mode: Every time a measurement cycle has completed, result messages are transmitted. The number of average values determines the interval of transmitting result messages. Hardware triggered measurement mode: As soon as the TRIGGER signal is detected, a complete cycle, determined by configuration of secondary channel and average configuration, is performed and after completion one to three result messages are sent. A CAN message; containing measurement results, holds at least one of two possible measured values. There are up to three different measurement messages possible, separated by three different CAN-IDs. If the input signal of the current input exceeds the nominal measurement range, an automatic range switching to an extended range is performed. Message triggered measurement mode: As soon as the request message is received, a complete cycle, determined by configuration of secondary channel and average configuration, is performed and after completion one to three result messages are sent.
