DS1858模拟监视器输入在线互动式计算器温度控制电阻三个监

Overview

The DS1858 dual temperature-controlled nonvolatile (NV) variable resistors with three monitors consists of two 50kΩ, 256-position linear variable resistors, three analog monitor inputs (MON1, MON2, MON3), and a direct-to-digital temperature sensor. The device is capable of setting and temperature-compensating bias voltages and currents using minimal circuitry, which is beneficial in control applications. The data from the internal monitors and sensors can be used, for example, for a laser transceiver fault detection and correction.

This application note and online calculator demonstrates the calculations required to convert the raw analog signals from the five monitored channels sensors' to a digital format required by optical standard SFF-8472. An understanding of the data sheet for the DS1858 and optical standard SFF-8472 is required before continuing with these conversions.

Introduction

The accompanying calculator converts the DS1858 analog signals (temperature, VCC, MON1, MON2, and MON3) to hexadecimal. The conversion utility also converts back from hexadecimal to analog. Additionally, the worksheet provides the same capability for SFF-8472 conversions specific to power (received and transmitted), and bias current.

Using the Worksheet

All input cells have a double-lined border. The converted values are in bold. Hexadecimal inputs have an MSB and LSB input. An analog input that is out of range results in an "Overscale" display in the answer cell.

DS1858 analog variables are converted to 16-bit hex and rounded to the nearest 8 LSB multiple, since the A/D is a 12-bit converter, and the 12-bit data is averaged four times. The SFF-8472 16-bit conversions are made to within 1 LSB.
