AS8510
Data Acquisition Device for Battery Sensors
www.ams.com/AS8510 Revision 3.8 1 - 48
1 General Description
The AS8510 is a virtually offset free, low noise, two channel
measurement device. It is tailored to accurately measure battery
current from mA range up to kA range in conjunction with a 100 µΩ
shunt resistor in series with the battery rail. Through the second
measurement channel it enables capture of, either battery voltage
synchronous with the current measurement, or, measure the analog
output of an internal or external temperature sensor. Both channels
are matched and can either measure small signals up to ±160 mV
versus ground, through programmable gain amplifier or larger
signals in the 0 to 1V range without the amplifier.
After analog to digital conversion and digital filtering, the resulting
16-bit digital words are accessible through 4-wire standard serial
interface.The device includes a number of additional features
explained in the next section.

The maximum current range can be calculated by the equation:
Imax = (VREFmin – VOSDRIFT*Gn*e)/(Gn *e*RSHUNT)
Where
VREFmin is minimum ADC reference voltage for the anticipated temperature range e.g.1220mV
VOSDRIFT is the maximum input referred PGA offset (e.g. 3 mV)
Gn is the nominal gain as selected (G1 to G4)
e is maximum gain tolerance (1,1)
RSHUNT is the maximum shunt resistance
Exceeding this maximum current range will lead first to non-linearity and finally to clamping.

6.4.1 Differential Input Amplifier for Current Channel
Notes:
1. Leakage test accuracy is limited by tester resource accuracy and tester hardware.
2. For gain 100 PGA input common mode is 0V and the minimum supply is 3.15V.
3. The measurement ranges are referred only by the gain of input amplifier, while other parameters such as bandwidth etc. are pro-
grammed independently.
4. This parameter is not measured directly in production. It is measured indirectly via gain measurements of the whole path. It is guaran-
teed by design.
5. Pole frequency of input amplifier changes with GAIN. The number is valid for the gain at G1, while the bandwidth will be higher for other
ranges. This parameter is not measured in production.
6. Based on device evaluation. Not tested.
7. These offsets are cancelled if chopping enabled (default).
8. Noise density calculated by taking system bandwidth as 150Hz.
9. Refer to Measurement Ranges shown in Table 13.
10. No impact on the measurement path. If the chopping is enabled, both the offset and offset drift will be eliminated.
11. For negative input voltages up to -160mV below ground, Input leakage is typically -20nA @ 65ºC due to forward conductance of
protection diode.

6.4.2 Differential Input Amplifier for Voltage Channel
Notes:
1. Input for the voltage channel can be as high as 1220mV, in this high input case PGA will be bypassed.
2. Leakage test accuracy is limited by tester resource accuracy and tester hardware, especially at low temperatures due to condensing
moisture.
3. For gain 100 PGA input common mode is 0V and the minimum supply is 3.15V.
4. The measurement ranges are referred only by the gain of input amplifier, while other parameters such as bandwidth etc. are pro-
grammed independently.
5. This parameter is not measured directly in production. It is measured indirectly via gain measurements of the whole path. It is guaran-
teed by design.
6. Pole frequency of input amplifier changes with changing the GAIN. The number is valid for the gain at G1, while the bandwidth will be
higher for other ranges. This parameter is not measured in production.
7. Noise density calculated by taking system bandwidth as 150Hz.
8. Based on device evaluation. Not tested.
9. No impact on the measurement path. If the chopping is enabled, both the offset and offset drift will be eliminated.
10. For negative input voltages up to -160mV below ground, Input leakage is typically -20nA @ 65ºC due to forward conductance of

System Error Compensation Function: For battery voltage measurement it is recommended to by-pass the PGA. This eliminates PGA
gain drift as an error source, thus error for the VBAT/VBAT_GND differential signal path is determined by VREF drift with temperature. The
typical characteristic of VREF versus temperature extracted from 3 production lots is shown in Figure 3. This function could be used to improve
accuracy by an error correction method utilizing the internal temperature sensor. In this case ADC raw data readings need to be corrected with a
temperature dependent factor by the software in the external micro controller. This factor is given by a generic compensation function and can be
applied to all IC’s because VREF is production trimmed to minimize linear coefficient of VREF over temperature.
Figure 3. Reference Error Compensation Function
Generic compensation factor the ADC output need to be multiplied with:
Fcomp = (A*T^2 + B*T + C)
Where:
Fcomp is the compensation factor for VREF drift over temperature normalized to 1 at 25°C
T is Temperature reading from calibrated internal temperature sensor in [°C]
A: -4E-7
B: 2E-5
C: 0,9997
The compensated ADC value = raw ADC value * Fcomp
If PGA is by-passed and an external precision reference is applied, the signal path measurement error is basically determined by the drift due to
temperature and ageing of the external reference.
Current channel error contributions for a single temperature end of line calibrated system are shunt resistance, PGA gain and VREF changes
with temperature. The drift of a shunt resistor made from Manganin alloy and VREF drift with temperature are non-linear and show 2nd order
curvature in same direction and similar relative magnitude. Thus shunt error is already reduced by the generic VREF(T) curvature (see Figure 3)
if thermally coupled to the AS8510. Over all error can be further reduced by an error correction method in external micro controller by matching
typical VREF(T) curvature to Rshunt (T) curvature with the help of the internal temperature sensor.
Temperature sensor system considerations: Internal temperature sensor can be used to measure the ambient temperature because there is
just 13 mW of AS8510 power dissipation in normal mode. This results in internal self-heating of less than 1°C.

AS8510
Datasheet - Detailed Description
7 Detailed Description
The AS8510 consists of two independent high resolution 16-bit SD analog to digital conversion channels. The measurement path of these two
channels integrates a programmable gain amplifier, chopper and de-chopper, sigma-delta modulator, decimator and a digital filter for
simultaneous measurement of Current and Voltage/Temperature.
The two measurement channels, namely the Current and Voltage/Temperature measurement channels have identical data path.
The input signal is amplified in the Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) with any of the selected gains of 1, 5, 25, 40 and 100 facilitating
measurement of a wide range of Current, voltage and temperature levels. Gain Settings for different input ranges and any associated restrictions
are explained in the Table 13.
Offset in the measurement path is minimized with the use of a chopper and a de-chopper at appropriate stages in the data path. By default the
chopper/de-chopper is ON in the measurement path. It may be disabled by programming the appropriate register.
The amplified input signal is converted into a single-bit pulse-density modulated stream by the Σ-Δ Modulator. A decimator acting as a low-pass
filter filters out the quantization noise and generates 16-bit data corresponding to the input signal. The decimation ratios of 64, 128 may be
selected in the first filter stage. For reducing data rate further, the second stage decimation can be used.
An optional FIR Filter is provided to offer matched low pass filter response typically required in lead acid battery sensor systems.
7.1 Current Measurement Channel
The voltage across a Shunt Resistor, connected in series with the Battery negative terminal, forms the input signal to the Current Measurement
channel. RSHH and RSHL are the Current measurement input pins. Offset in the input signal is nullified with the use of a chopper and a de-
chopper at appropriate stages in the data path. The programmable gain amplifier in the data path with programmable settings of 1, 5, 25, 40 and
100 enables measurement of current ranges from ±1A to ±1500A. The sampled input signal is converted into a single-bit pulse-density
modulated stream by the Σ-Δ Modulator. A decimator acting as a low-pass filter filters out the quantization noise and generates 16-bit data
equivalent to the input current signal. The programmable input sampling rate and the decimation ratio determine the output data rates. The data
path can be programmed to provide 1Hz to 2 kHz rates in the various modes available. An optional FIR filter is provided to offer matched low
pass filter response typically required in lead acid battery sensor systems.
After enabling the current measurement channel, the delay for the availability of the first sample is two conversion cycles.
7.2 Voltage/Temperature Measurement Channel
The other two parameters of the Battery for measurement are Voltage and its Temperature. The second channel accepts signals from four
independent sources through a Multiplexer as listed below:
An attenuated battery voltage obtained through appropriate external resistor divider, (or)
A signal from the external temperature sensor, (or)
A signal from external reference, (or)
A signal from the internal temperature sensor.
Apart from this difference in the multiplexing of four input signals, the rest of the data path is identical to the Current measurement channel.
RSHH and RSHL are the Current measurement input pins
The Battery Voltage which can go up to 18V is attenuated through a Resistor Divider externally and is applied to the Voltage Channel. For
Automotive Battery measurement, the Gain of the PGA should be restricted to 5 and 25. The latency for the first result from the voltage
measurement channel is two conversion cycles.
A second option on this measurement channel is to measure Temperature. Internally generated constant current is pumped through the
Temperature Sensor with positive temperature coefficient, and, a high- precision resistor. The voltages across the sensor and the resistor form
the inputs to the measurement channel one at a time. The difference between the two voltages which is independent of the magnitude of the
current is used to determine the temperature accurately. The Voltage across the sensor is applied between the ETS and VSS pins and, the
voltage across the high-precision resistor is applied between ETR and VSS. External Temperature measurement involves the acquisition of two
signals one after the other using the same constant current source. The latency for the first result from the temperature measurement channel is
two conversion cycles.
A third option on the measurement channel is to measure the internal temperature. Hence, one of the three options for measurement of Battery
Voltage, External Temperature and, internal temperature may be carried out by selection of appropriate inputs through the internal multiplexer
selection.

7.3 Digital Implementation of Measurement Path
Figure 4. Block Diagram of Digital Implementation
Figure 4 shows the digital implementation of the decimator and filter to process the 1-bit output of the Modulator. This block receives a 1-bit pulse
density modulated output (MOD_IN) from the second order sigma delta modulator along with the oversampling frequency clock (MOD_CLK).
The MOD_CLK directly goes to a clock division block, which generates chopper clock (CHOP_CLK). The CHOP_CLK can be one of 2kHz or
4kHz selected by Register CLK_REG in Table 33. The MOD_CLK can be either 1MHz or 2MHz. The Decimation is a two phase process. In the
first phase, the R1 down sampling rate can be obtained by selecting either 64 or 128 in Registers DECREG_R1_I, DECREG_R1_V in Table 33.
The 16-bit CIC1 output is dechopped with respect to CHOP_CLK. The output of Dechopper is passed through the CIC2 filter with a decimation
ratio of 1to 32768 in steps of power of 2. This output is then processed through a FIR or Moving Average (MA) filter. FIR Filter is provided to offer
matched low pass filter response typically required in lead acid battery sensor systems. MA filter is used to provide averaged output and the
number of samples for averaging can be any integer value from 1, 3, 7 or 15.
7.4 Modes of Operation
The device operates in four different modes, namely,
Normal Mode 1 (NOM1),
Normal Mode 2 (NOM2),
Standby Mode 1 (SBY1), and,
Standby Mode 2 (SBY2).
The Normal Modes are full-power modes with the exception that in Normal Mode 2, sampling is normally at a programmed lower frequency and
is increased to a higher rate only when a measured input signal level crosses the programmed threshold in the current measurement channel.
The Standby Modes are lower power modes. Sampling is normally at a very low frequency interval. In Standby Mode 2, data sampling can be
carried out only when the internal comparator detects the input current to be greater than the programmed threshold and it generates interrupt on
the INT pin.
The device enters into the “Stop” state on Power On. This is a state where in the data path is inactive and can be entered into from any of the
four Modes. The State transition Diagram involving the state of Stop and the four Modes is illustrated in the Figure 5.

Note:
1. Device soft reset can be written in any of the following states STOP, A_STB, SBM_ON, SBM_OFF by writing “0” into D[7] of the RESET
_REG (Address 0X09).
2. Measurement path of soft reset should be written in any the states, STOP, SBM_OFF by writing “0” into D[6] of the RESET _REG (Address
0X09).
3. When soft reset is used for the measurement path or for the device, external clock needs to be disabled if the system clock is external
clock in the application.
7.4.1 Normal Mode 1 (NOM1)
On Power-on-reset of the device, AS8510 goes into STOP State.
Transition to Normal mode1 (NOM1) occurs when the “START BIT” D0 of Mode Control Register MOD_CTL_REG in Table 33 is set to “1”
through the serial port SPI. Data Rate of voltage and current channels can be independently programmed and both the channels generate
interrupts for every output available from ADC. The interrupt signal is generated on the INT pin. The width of the interrupt pulse is eight cycles of
lp_clk. The data is stable up to the next interrupt. If the data rate is different for the two channels, the interrupt rate would follow the higher rate
among the two channels. Data update can be known by reading the status register. The functionality is explained in the waveform shown in
Figure 6. When the device is configured to NORMAL Mode1 from any mode the configuration should be through the STOP state only.
Figure 6. Normal Mode 1
7.4.2 Normal Mode 2 (NOM2)
NOM2 differs from NOM1 in such a way that it allows for a relaxed data rate at a period of TMC by programming the corresponding register as
long as the amplitude of current is less than a programmed threshold ITHC. However, when, the measured input signal exceeds the programmed
threshold, the data rate is changed to the rate of NOM1 mode.
Transition to NOM2 occurs when the “START BIT” D0 of Mode Control register MOD_CTL_REG in Table 33 is set to 1 and mode control bits to
01 through SPI. In this mode the data rate should be programmed with the time of TMC. An interrupt signal is generated on INT at the rate of TMC
secs with a pulse width of eight cycles of lp_clk. The data is stable up to the next interrupt. The data sample is compared against the programmed
threshold and when it is exceeded, the data sampling rate is changed to provide data at the data rate of NOM1 mode. However, as soon as the
data sample amplitude falls below the programmed threshold, the sampling rate is restored to provide data at the rate of TMC. The functionality is
illustrated in the waveform Figure 7.

7.4.3 Standby Mode1 (SBM1)
The low-power Standby Mode can be entered only through the STOP state. Transition to SBM1 mode occurs when the “START BIT” D0 of Mode
Control register MOD_CTL_REG in Table 33 is set to “1” and Mode Control Bits to “10” through SPI. In this mode the date rate is programmable
with the time of Ta. An interrupt signal is generated on INT at the rate of Ta secs., and with a pulse width of eight cycles of lp_clk. The data is
stable up to the next interrupt. The functionality is illustrated in Figure. During the period of Ta, only one data sample is made available and,
during the rest of the period, the device is maintained in STOP state to reduce power consumption. The microcontroller which receives the data
on the Interrupt, is also expected to be processing the data for a short time as shown clearly in the Figure 8 to ensure the overall low-power
consumption of the data acquisition and processing system.

7.4.4 Standby Mode2 (SBM2)
Standby Mode 2 is an extension of the Standby Mode1 to achieve even a lower power in the data acquisition system by providing interrupt to the
microcontroller only when the data sample exceeds the set current threshold. The Standby Mode can be entered only through the STOP state.
Transition to SBM2 mode occurs when the “START BIT” D0 of Mode Control register MOD_CTL_REG in Table 33 is set to “1” and Mode Control
Bits D7,D6 to “1,1” through SPI. In this mode the date rate is programmable with the time of Ta in the Ta control registers B, C. The data sample
is made available and an interrupt signal is generated on INT pin only when the input signal exceeds the threshold set in Current Threshold
Registers D,E. It should be noted here that the data is stable for Ta secs. The functionality is illustrated in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Standby Mode 2
7.5 Reference-Voltage
Band gap-reference voltage is used for the ADC as a reference and for the generation of the current for external temperature measurement.
7.6 Oscillators
A High-speed oscillator (HS) generates the oversampling clock. For internal state machine and Interrupt generation, a low-speed Oscillator (LS)
is also available.
7.7 Power-On Reset
The AS8510 has PORs, APOR and DPOR on analog and digital power supplies respectively. On PORs of both supplies, initialization sequence
happens and the system status is shown in state diagram (see Figure 5).
As shown in the state diagram, the system is in RESET state until DPOR output goes to logic HIGH and subsequently until APOR output goes to
logic HIGH. Once analog power supply is available, the system goes into OTP_INT state and loads the default values into the control and data
registers and goes into STOP state. If analog POR, APOR goes low at any time, the system goes into RESET state. In the STOP state, the
AS8510 can be programmed and by giving start command it starts working following the state machine.

7.8 4-Wire Serial Port Interface
The SPI interface is used as interface between the AS8510 and an external micro-controller to configure the device and access the status
information. The micro-controller begins communication with the SPI which is configured as a slave. The SPI protocol is simple and the length of
each frame is an integer multiple of bytes except when a transmission is started. Each frame has 1 command bit, 7 address/configuration bits,
and one or more data bytes. The edge of CS and the level of SCLK during the start of a SPI transaction, determine the edge on which the data is
transferred from the SPI and the edge on which the data is sampled by the slave. Table 29 describes the setting of the transfer and sampling
edges of SCLK. Figure 10 shows the falling edge and rising edge for data transfer and data sampling respectively, when SCLK is HIGH on the
falling edge of CS.
Figure 10. Protocol for Serial Data Write with Length = 1
7.8.1 SPI Frame
A frame is formed by a first byte for command and address/configuration and a following bit stream that can be formed by an integer number of
bytes. Command is coded on the 1 first bit, while address is given on LSB 7 bits (see Table 30).

Datasheet - Detailed Description
If the command is read or write, one or more bytes follow. When the micro-controller sends more bytes (keeping CS LOW and SCLK toggling),
the SPI interface increments the address of the previous data byte and writes/reads data to/from consecutive addresses.
7.8.2 Write Command
For write command, C0=0. After the command code C0 is transferred, the address of register to be written is provided from MSB to LSB.
Subsequently one or more data bytes can be transferred from MSB to LSB. For each data byte following the first one, used address is the
incremented value of the previously written address. Each bit of the frame has to be driven by the SPI master on the SPI clock transfer edge. The
SPI slave samples it on the next clock edge. These edges are determined by the level of SCLK as shown in Table 29. Figure 11 and Figure 12
are examples of write command without and with address self-increment.

7.8.3 Read Command
For Read command C0=1. After the command code C0, the address of register to be read is provided from MSB to LSB. Then one or more data
bytes can be transferred from the SPI slave to the master, always from MSB to LSB. To transfer more bytes from consecutive addresses, SPI
master keeps CS signal LOW and SPI clock active as long as it desires to read data from the slave. Each bit of the command and address of the
frame is to be driven by the SPI master on the SPI clock transfer edge where SPI slave samples it on the next SPI clock edge.
Each bit of the data section of the frame is driven by the SPI slave on the SPI clock transfer edge and SPI master samples it on the next SPI
clock edge. These edges are determined as per Table 29 and examples of read command without and with address self-increment.

7.9.1 Standby Mode - Power Consumption
In Standby Mode 1 there is a timer based accurate measurement every Ta seconds. The device itself stays in idle-mode as long as it does not
get a different command from the SPI interface. Internal oscillator frequency is typically foscint=262 kHz to reduce power consumption as long as
the timer runs. After every time out of Ta secs, it performs accurate measurement of current, voltage/ temperature. Data ready is signaled to
microcontroller through an interrupt signal on INT and goes into STOP state.
In the SBM the following equations hold:
Tsbm1 = Ta= 10s (default value is 10secs); the power consumption is valid for this setting. This is the period of the repetition rate in SBM 1
and SBM2.
Tsett ≈ 2ms (depending on external capacitors). This is the time required by the analog part to settle when the new measuring period is
started. Any measurements performed during Tsett produce invalid results.
T1 = 3ms (by default setting, every third measurement is sent to microcontroller in the SBM mode 1) is the time needed to perform the first
measurement.
Tmeas =Tsett +T1 is the total active time needed to get a valid result.
DRSBM = Tmeas/Tsbm ≈ 5ms/10s. This is the ratio of repetition time versus the active time (Device in NOM mode).
Power consumption = (DRSBM*NOM mode power consumption) + ((10s-5ms)/10s)*Stop mode power consumption)
7.9.2 Initialization Sequence at Power ON
Figure 17. AS8510 Device Initialization Sequence at Power ON
Device initialization starts if the DVDD and AVDD supplies are switched ON and DVDD > VPORHID. The duration period of Initialization is 500μsec
and during this period, INT pin toggles at the rate of internal low power oscillator. Toggling on INT during the period of initialization should be
ignored in the system. Device configuration and activation should be carried out only after the initialization period.
On ADC start, device enters into analog stabilization state and takes 1.5msec for oscillator and Reference to settle. After this 1.5msec period, the
first interrupt will occur after a time period of TADC.
TDATA_STATUS_RD is the time period during which the micro-controller should complete reading of data and status from the device. If reading is
carried out beyond this time period, then, ADC performance will degrade for next sample generation. Status register gets cleared automatically
only when micro-controller reads this register. Data in the channel registers is changed after TDATA_VALID duration. Ensure that data channel
registers and status registers are not read during the TDATA_INVALID duration.

Example:
Configuration registers are set as follows:
CLK_REG = 8’b0010_0000
DEC_REG_R1_I = 0100_0101
DEC_REG_R2_I = 1100_0101
FIR_CTL_REG_I = 0000_0100
ADC is configured to a data rate of 1KHz, CHOP_CLK to 2KHz, and Modulator clock to 1MHz, Decimation ratio of CIC1 = 64, and Decimation
ratio of CIC2 = 4. With these settings the various time periods as shown in the Figure 17 are as follows:
TDATA_STATUS_RD = 100 μsec
(TDATA_STATUS_RD = (1/mod_clk) * R1 * [((mod_clk/(2*chop_clk))*(1/R1)) - 2.5)
TDATA_INVALID = 8 μsec
TADC = 1msec
TDATA_VALID = TADC - TDATA_INVALID = 1msec - 8 μsec
CHOP_CLK and POR_N are internal signals of the device.
Table 34 provides valid combinations of Modulator clock, Chopper clock and Decimation R1 and the corresponding values of TDATA_STATUS_RD and
TADC.
7.9.3 Soft-reset of Device Using Bit D[7] of Reset Register 0x09
It is possible to soft-reset the device by writing “0” into D[7] bit of Reset Register at 0x09. On applying soft-reset, the device enters into
initialization state and D[6] bit changes back to “1”. The duration period of Initialization is 500μsec, and, during this period, INT pin toggles at the
rate of internal low power oscillator. Toggling on INT during the period of initialization should be ignored in the system. Device configuration and
activation should be carried out only after the initialization period. See Figure 18 for the timing details of the sequence of device initialization on
soft-reset.

Measurement path also can be reset by using D[6] bit of Reset Register at 0x09. On applying soft-reset only signal measurement path registers
will be reset. For applying this reset, device should be in STOP state. If the device is working with external clock, at the time of soft-reset the
clock needs to be disabled.
7.9.5 Reconfiguring Gain Setting of PGA
Only PGA gain settings can be changed dynamically while ADC conversions are in progress. When PGA gain settings are changed, the first
sample from the ADC is invalid. Ignore the first interrupt after the gain re-configuration. Valid data starts from the second interrupt onwards.
