HYSTERESIS AND SELF HEATING
The actual value of hysteresis generally has a minor dependence on
the programmed setpoint temperature, as shown in Figure 7.
Furthermore, the hysteresis can be affected by self heating if the
device is driving a heavy load. For example, if the device is driving a
load of 5 mA at an output voltage (given by Figure 10) of 250 m V,
the additional power dissipation is approximately 1.25 m W. With a
θJA of 190°C/W in still air, the internal die temperature is 0.24°C
higher than ambient, leading to an increase of 0.24°C in
hysteresis. In the presence of a heat sink or a turbulent
environment, the additional hysteresis is less.
OUTPUT SECTION
The output of the AD22105 is the collector of the negative positive
negative (NPN) transistor. When the ambient temperature of the
device exceeds the programmed setpoint temperature, this
transistor is activated, causing its collector to become a low
impedance. A pull-up resistor, such as the internal 200 kΩ
provided, is needed to observe a change in the output voltage. For
versatility, the optional pull-up resistor is not permanently
connected to the output pin. Instead, this resistor is undedicated
and connects from the VS pin to the RPULL-UP pin. To use RPULL-UP,
a single connection must be made from the RPULL-UP pin to the
OUT pin.
The 200 kΩ pull-up resistor can drive CMOS loads because
essentially no static current is required at these inputs. When
driving low power Schottky (LS) and other bipolar family logic
inputs, a parallel resistor may be necessary to supply the 20 µA
to 50 µA high level input current (IIH) specified for such devices.
To determine the current required, consult the appropriate
manufacturer data sheet. When the output is switched, indicating
an over temperature condition, the output is capable of pulling
down with 10 mA at a voltage of about 375 mV, which allows a
fanout of 2 with standard bipolar logic and 20 with LS family
logic.
Low power indicator LEDs (up to 10 mA) can be driven directly
from the output pin of the AD22105. In most cases, a small series
resistor (usually of several hundred ohms) is required to limit
the current to the LED and the output transistor of the AD22105.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
If the AD22105 is thermally attached and properly protected, it
can be used in any measuring situation where the maximum
range of temperatures encountered is between −40°C and
+150°C. Because plastic IC packaging technology is employed,
excessive mechanical stress must be avoided when fastening the
device with a clamp or screw on the heat tab. Thermally conductive
epoxy or glue is recommended for typical mounting conditions.
In wet or corrosive environments, use an electrically isolated
metal or ceramic well to protect the AD22105.
THERMAL ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS
The thermal environment in which the AD22105 is used
determines two performance traits: the effect of self heating on
accuracy and the response time of the sensor to rapid changes in
temperature. In the first case, a rise in the IC junction temperature
above the ambient temperature is a function of two variables:
the power consumption of the AD22105 and the thermal
resistance between the chip and the ambient environment, θJA.
Self heating error can be derived by multiplying the power
dissipation by θJA. Because errors of this type can vary widely
for surroundings with different heat sinking capacities, it is
necessary to specify θJA under several conditions.
Table 3 shows how the magnitude of self heating error varies
relative to the environment. A typical device dissipates about
230 µW at room temperature with a 3.3 V supply and negligible
output loading. In still air, without a heat sink, Table 3 indicates a
θJA of 190°C/W, which yields a temperature rise of 0.04°C.
Thermal rise of the die is considerably less in an environment of
turbulent or constant moving air or if the device is in direct
physical contact with a solid (or liquid) body.
Response of the AD22105 internal die temperature to abrupt
changes in ambient temperatures can be modeled by a single time
constant exponential function. Figure 12 shows the typical
response for moving and still air. The time constant, τ (time to
reach 63.2% of the final value), is dependent on θJA and the
thermal capacities of the chip and the package.
Table 3 lists the effective τ for moving and still air. Copper PCB
connections were neglected in the analysis. However, these
connections sink or conduct heat directly through the AD22105
solder plated copper leads. When faster response is required, use a
thermally conductive grease or glue between the AD22105 and
the surface temperature being measured.
USING THE AD22105 AS A COOLING SETPOINT
DETECTOR
The AD22105 detects transitions from higher temperatures to
lower temperatures by programming the setpoint temperature
4°C greater than the desired trip point temperature. The 4°C is
necessary to compensate for the nominal hysteresis value designed
into the device. A more precise value of the hysteresis can be
obtained from Figure 7. In this mode, the logic state of the output
indicates a high for under temperature conditions. The total device
error is slightly greater than the specification value due to the
uncertainty in hysteresis.
