TMP435 IBIS Model Question

Shen,

A pull up resistor is required for SDA and SCL as they are open drains. I will look further into your question about the IBIS model and get back to you shortly.

Hi Shen,

Let me update information for your question.

Actual device does not have internal pull up (SDA pin).

For IBIS model, it is under survey and get back to you shortly.

P.S. As SCL(clock) pin is an input pin, it is not an open-drain for this device.

Best regards,

Hi Shen,

This is the update of the IBIS simulation for your question.

When I sweep the SDA pin with a bias from negative to positive, as shown in the graph, It shows 2.7mA at 0V, 0mA at 40mV.

I think this replicates your simulation. It would be appreciated if you could send me your simulation schematic and condition. (also include X-axis and Y-axis on your graph. )

Best regards,

Hi Ichiro Itoi,

Thanks for you answer!

I just do the model checking work. So I haven't the schematic for simulation. 

Through the Ground Clamp Curve, I can see 2.4mA at 0V.  Could you tell me the origin of the 2.4mA.Leakage current or the pullup resistor current ? 

If we do the pre-simulation use the Star-topology(One Driver to 8 tmp435).

2.4mA is  large enough to affect the simulation result.It will increase the bias voltage.You can see in the following picture.

Thank you very much!

Hi Shen,

Thank you for sharing your simulation result.

If I understand your simulation correctly, the sum of the SDA currents from eight TMP devices raises the low level about 750mV.

Let me clarify the situation as follows.

1. Actual device has no pull up circuit internally and there is no current that appears when SDA = 0V (in the condition where no pull up resistor is on the bus).

2. IBIS model of the device shows SDA = 2.7mA when at  0V  (in the condition where no pull up resistor is on the bus) and it is under investigation.

3. IBIS model should work with pull up resister on a bus.

My proposal, at the moment, is to use a pull up resistor in your simulation.

If there is any reason why there is no pull up resistor on the bus for your simulation or anything I can do, please let me know.

Best regards,

Hi Shen,

Could you provide us the simulator name and version, so that I could prepare for the IBIS re-modeling.

Best regards,

Ichiro Itoi

Hi Ichiro Itoi,

The simulator is Mentor Hyperlynx 8.2.1.

Thank you!

Hi Shen,

Thank you for the information.

Let me proceed re-do IBIS modeling. I will contact you within two weeks.

Best regards,

Hi Shen,

 For re-do IBIS modeling, it seems a lot of queues at the moment.

Let me update status within a week.

 It would be appreciated if you could use pull up resister on your simulation.

Best regards,

Hi Ichiro Itoi,

Thanks for the updata.

I used the pull up resistor in my simulation.

Best regards,

Hi Feiqin,

It is good to know a pull up resistor is used for the simulation.

For IBIS modeling, as it is still in the queue, I will update you in a week.

Best regards,

Ichiro Itoi

Hi Feiqin,

It is still queue for IBIS modeling. I will update you in a week.

Hi Feiqin,

The final schedule is not set yet, but most likely it is going to be processed first half of March.

Best regards,

Hi Ichiro Itoi and Eric Kim,

      Thanks for your help!

Have a nice day!
