READ VOLTAGE AND/OR CURRENT DATA BYTES

Depending on how the device is configured, ADM1191 can be

set up to provide information in three ways after a conversion

(or conversions): voltage and current readback, voltage only

readback, and current only read back. See the Write Command

Byte section for more details.

Voltage and Current Readback

The ADM1192 digitizes both voltage and current. Three bytes

are read back in the format shown in Table 12.

Voltage Readback

the format shown in Table 13.

The following series of events occurs when the master receives

three bytes (voltage and current data) from the slave device:

1.

The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2.

The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the

read bit (high).

3.

The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4.

The master receives the first data byte.

5.

The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

6.

The master receives the second data byte.

7.

The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8.

The master receives the third data byte.

9.

The master asserts a no acknowledge on SDA.

10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and the

transaction ends.

For cases where the master is reading voltage only or current

only, two data bytes are read and Step 7 and Step 8 are not required.

Converting ADC Codes to Voltage and Current Readings

Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to convert ADC codes

representing voltage and current from the ADM1175 12-bit

ADC into actual voltage and current values.

(1)

where:

Code is the ADC voltage code read from the device

(Bit V11 to Bit V0).

(2)

where:

Code is the ADC current code read from the device

(Bit I11 to Bit I0).

Read Status Register

A single register of status data can also be read from the

ADM1192 as follows:

1.

The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2.

The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the

read bit (high).

3.

The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4.

The master receives the status byte.

5.

The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

Figure 26. Status Read from ADM1192

Table 15 shows the ADM1192 STATUS registers in detail. Note

that Bit 1, Bit 3, and Bit 5 are cleared by writing to Bit 4 (the

CLEAR bit) of the ALERT_EN register.
