Different Modes
Analog Mode
The parameters OF and GN represent, respectively,
offset correction and span control, while OFTCi and
GNTCi
(thermal zero shift and thermal span shift). After reset,
the firmware continuously calculates the offset and
gain DAC settings as follows: The EEPROM holds
parameters GN, OF, OFTCi and GNTCi, where “i” is
the gap number and can be 1 < i < 4. The transfer
function is described below.
Vout
{Vin+DAC_OFFSET+CSOF}
Iout = FG * DAC_GAIN * CSGN[1:0] *
{Vin+DAC_OFFSET+CSOF} * 8.85mA/V
FG = Hardware Gain (~20V/V). Part of the hardware
CSGN = Course Gain, part of byte 2 in EEPROM.
CSOF = Coarse Offset, part of byte 2 in
GAIN
DAC_GAIN (new value) ~ GN[9:0] + [GNTCi * dT]
GN[9:0] = Fixed Gain, bytes 3 and 17 in EEPROM.
GNTCi = Gain TC for a given temperature
dT = Temp. change within the appropriate gap.
How to calculate gain in the first temp. gap?:
DAC_GAIN = GN[9:0] - GNTC1 * (T1 – Temp_f1)
How to calculate gain in the other temp. gaps?:
2nd gap: DAC_GAIN = GN[9:0] + GNTC2 *
3th gap: DAC_GAIN = DAC_GAIN2 + GNTC3 *
4th gap: DAC_GAIN = DAC_GAIN3 + GNTC4 *
Where:
Temp_f = Filtered temp. (previously described).
If GNTC1 > 2047 => DAC_GAIN
If GNTC2,3,4 > 2047 => DAC_GAIN

OFFSET
DAC_OFFSET (new value) ~ OF[9:0]+[OFTCi* dT]
OF[9:0] = Fixed Gain, bytes 4 and 17 in EEPROM.
OFTCi = Offset for a given temperature
dT = Temp. change within the appropriate gap.
Calculation of the offset for a given temperature seg-
ment is performed the same way as for the gain.
Mode
The MLX90308 firmware provides the capability of
digitally processing the sensor signal in addition to the
analog processing. This capability allows for signal
correction.
Signal Correction
While in digital mode the firmware can perform signal
correction. This is an adjustment to the output level
based
coefficients can be set for five different signal ranges.
The output is obtained by the following formula:
1st gap: Output = (Signal ) * PC1 + Poff
Where:
Signal = input signal measurement;
Poff = Pressure ordinate = P1
PC1 = programmed coefficient first gap.
Following gaps:
Gap i: Output = (Signal – Pi) * PCi + Poff_i
Where
Signal = input signal measurement;
Poff_i = Pressure ordinate (i = 2,3,4,5)
Pi = Pressure signal point (i = 2,3,4,5)
PCi = programmed coefficient first gap (i = 2,3,4,5).
The PCi coefficients are coded on 12 bits: one bit for
the sign, one for the unity, and the rest for the
decimals. The Pi are coded on 10 bits (0-3FFh) in
high-low order.
PNB_TNB: contains the number of signal points,
coded on the four MSB’s. The four LSB’s are reserved
for the number of temperature points. See Table 4 and
Table 5.
