DP83TG720S-Q1: Temperature output code

Part Number: DP83TG720S-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83TC811R-Q1,

Hi,

I have some DP83TG720S-Q1 EVM.

I notice that "temperature_output_code" is different value in each EVM under the same conditions.

Is this "errata" or "specification" ?

Regards,

Sambon

  • Hi Sambon,

    Can you please share the measured value of the code on different EVMs? There is an expected part to part variation and lets check if you are within the limit.

  • Hi Vikram,
    I share the measured value of the code on different EVMs.
    Could you please check these results whether is spec or errata ?

  • Hello Sambon,

    There is some delay in getting the required information because of holidays. I hope to get back to you with clarification by 29th December.

  • Good evening Vikram,

    Thank you for your hard work.

    I'm looking forward to your answer.

  • Hello Sambon,

    We expect worst case part to part variation of about +/-21C. +/-7.5C is the accuracy of the temperature sensor on a single part. So worst case (uncalibrated) part to part variation can be 21*2 + 7.5*2 = 57C. Part to part temperature difference what you are getting is (186-154 = 32)*1.5C = 48C. So this is within the expectation. You may make accuracy +/-7.5C by calibrating out the part to part variation as explained in datasheet. 

    Just to confirm that procedure is correct, can you please confirm that you are doing the following :

    Step 1 : Program register 0x0467 = 0x6004

    Step 2 : Program register 0x046A = 0x00A6

    Step 3 : Program register 0x046A = 0x00A3

    Step 4 : Program register 0x0468 = 0x4920

    Step 5 : Read register 0x047B[14:7] for the value of temperature_output_code.

  • Hi Vikram,

    Thanks you for your reply. I'm doing step1-5.

    My understanding is that this chip must be calibrated in a strict  temperature controlled environment(e.g. thermostatic chamber) before use.

    Is it correct ?

    In addition, how do you expect this temperature monitor feature to be used?

    Regards,

    Sambon

  • Hi Vikram,

    I know you are busy, but  could you please reply ?

    Thank you,

    Regards,
    Sambon

  • Hello Sambon,

    Sorry for the delay. I missed following up on this conversation. 

    Yes, without calibration, we expect accuracy of ~ +/-28C. With calibration, we expect accuracy of +/-7.5C.

    Calibration procedure is in the datasheet.

    What is the accuracy requirement of your application? Are you looking for a particular accuracy in a narrow temperature range : what is it?

  • Hi, Vikram,

    I want to check the temperature the phy ic as possible as high accuracy.

    The target accuracy is same as DP83TC811R-Q1.

    Which is more high accuracy, DP83TC811R-Q1 or DP83TG720S-Q1 ?

    Thank you,

    Regards,

    Sambon

  • Hello Sambon,

    720 should be more accurate for full temperature range.
