Micro-power operation places con- straints on high-frequency noise rejection; therefore, careful PC board layout and proper external noise filter- ing are required for high-accuracy remote measure- ments in electrically noisy environments. High-frequency EMI is best filtered at DXP and DXN with an external 2200pF capacitor. This value can be increased to about 3300pF (max), including cable ca- pacitance. Higher capacitance than 3300pF introduces errors due to the rise time of the switched current source. Nearly all noise sources tested cause the ADC meas- urements to be higher than the actual temperature, typically by +1°C to 10°C, depending on the frequency and amplitude. PC Board Layout Place the SS8018 as close as practical to the remote diode. In a noisy environment, such as a computer motherboard, this distance can be 4 in. to 8 in. (typical) or more as long as the worst noise sources (such as CRTs, clock generators, memory buses, and ISA/PCI buses) are avoided. Do not route the DXP-DXN lines next to the deflection coils of a CRT. Also, do not route the traces across a fast memory bus, which can easily introduce +30°C error, even with good filtering; otherwise, most noise sources are fairly benign. Route the DXP and DXN traces in parallel and in close proximity to each other, away from any high-voltage traces such as +12VDC. Leakage currents from PC board contamination must be dealt with carefully, since a 10M Ω leakage path from DXP to ground causes about +1°C error. Connect guard traces to GND on either side of the DXP-DXN traces (Figure 2). With guard traces in place, routing near high-voltage traces is no longer an issue. Route through as few vias and cross-unders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple ef- fects. When introducing a thermocouple, make sure that both the DXP and the DXN paths have matching thermocou- ples. In general, PC board-induced thermocouples are not a serious problem, A copper-solder thermocouple exhibits 3µV/°C, and it takes about 240µV of voltage error at DXP-DXN to cause a +1°C measurement error. So, most parasitic thermocouple errors are swamped out. Use wide traces. Narrow ones are more inductive and tend to pick up radiated noise. The 10 mil widths and spacing recommended on Figure 2 aren’t absolutely necessary (as they offer only a minor improvement in leakage and noise), but try to use them where practical. Figure 2. Recommended DXP/DXN PC Traces Keep in mind that copper can’t be used as an EMI shield, and only ferrous materials such as steel work will. Plac- ing a copper ground plane between the DXP-DXN traces and traces carrying high-frequency noise signals does not help reduce EMI. PC Board Layout Checklist n Place the SS8018 close to a remote diode. n Keep traces away from high voltages (+12V bus). n Keep traces away from fast data buses and CRTs. n Use recommended trace widths and spacing. n Place a ground plane under the traces n Use guard traces flanking DXP and DXN and con- necting to GND. n Place the noise filter and the 0.1µF VCC bypass ca- pacitors close to the SS8018. Twisted Pair and Shielded Cables For remote-sensor distances longer than 8 in., or in par- ticularly noisy environments, a twisted pair is recom- mended. Its practical length is 6 feet to 12feet (typical) before noise becomes a problem, as tested in a noisy electronics laboratory. For longer distances, the best solution is a shielded twisted pair like that used for audio microphones. Connect the twisted pair to DXP and DXN and the shield to GND, and leave the shield’s remote end un-terminated. Excess capacitance at DX limits practical remote sensor distances (see Typical Operating Characteristics). For very long cable runs, the cable’s parasitic capacitance often provides noise filtering, so the 2200pF capacitor can often be removed or reduced in value. Cable resistance also affects remote-sensor accuracy; 1 Ω series resis- tance introduces about + 0.6°C error. GND DXP DXN GND 10 MILS MINIMUM 10 MILS 10 MILS 10 MILS Rev.2.01 6/06/2003 |
