ZHCSDS7A May 2015 – June 2015 LDC1101
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LDC1101 is an inductance-to-digital converter which can simultaneously measure the impedance and resonant frequency of an LC resonator. The high resolution measurement capability enables this device to be used to directly measure changes in physical systems, allowing the resonator to sense the proximity and movement of conductive materials.
The LDC1101 measures the impedance and resonant frequency by regulating the oscillation amplitude in a closed-loop configuration at a constant level, while monitoring the energy dissipated by the resonator. By monitoring the amount of power injected into the resonator, the LDC1101 can determine the equivalent parallel resistance of the resonator, RP, which it returns as a digital value.
In addition, the LDC1101 device also measures the oscillation frequency of the LC circuit by comparing the sensor frequency to a provided reference frequency. The sensor frequency can then be used to determine the inductance of the LC circuit.
The threshold comparator block can compare the RP+L conversion results versus a programmable threshold. With the threshold registers programmed and comparator enabled, the LDC1101 can provide a switch output, reported as a high/low level on the INTB/SDO pin.
The LDC1101 device supports a wide range of LC combinations with oscillation frequencies ranging from 500 kHz to 10 MHz and RP ranging from 1.25 kΩ to 90 kΩ. The device is configured and conversion results retrieved through a simple 4-wire SPI. The power supply for the device can range from 1.8 V – 5% to 3.3 V + 5%. The only external components necessary for operation are a 15 nF capacitor for internal LDO bypassing and supply bypassing for VDD.
The LDC1101 can drive a sensor with a resonant frequency of 500 kHz to 10 MHz with an RP in the range of 1.25 kΩ to 90 kΩ. The nominal sensor amplitude is 1.2 V. The sensor Q should be at least 10 for RP measurements. The inductive sensor must be connected across the INA and INB pins. The resonant frequency of the sensor is set by:
where
The LDC1101 features two independent measurement subsystems to measure the impedance and resonant frequency of an attached sensor. The RP+L subsystem can simultaneously measure the impedance and resonant frequency of an LC resonator, with up to 16 bits of resolution for each parameter. Refer to RP+L Measurement Mode for more information on the RP+L measurement functionality.
The High Resolution L (LHR) subsystem measures the sensor resonant frequency with up to 24 bits of resolution. The effective resolution is a function of the sample rate and the reference frequency supplied on the CLKIN pin. Refer to High Resolution L (LHR) Measurement Mode for more information on the LHR measurement functionality.
Both measurement subsystems can convert simultaneously but at different sample intervals – the completion of an RP+L conversion will be asynchronous to the completion of a LHR conversion.
RP+L Mode | LHR Mode | |

RP Measurement Resolution | 16 bits | N/A |
L Measurement Resolution | 16 bits | 24 bits |
Sample Rate configuration | Varies with ƒSENSOR, set by RESP_TIME | Fixed and set by RCOUNT field and ƒCLKIN |

In RP+L mode, the LDC1101 will simultaneously measure the impedance and resonant frequency of the attached sensor. The device accomplishes this task by regulating the oscillation amplitude in a closed-loop configuration to a constant level, while monitoring the energy dissipated by the resonator. By monitoring the amount of power injected into the resonator, the LDC1101 device can determine the value of RP. The device returns this value as a digital value which is proportional to RP. In addition, the LDC1101 device can also measure the oscillation frequency of the LC circuit, by counting the number of cycles of a reference frequency. The measured sensor frequency can be used to determine the inductance of the LC circuit.
The variation of RP in a given system is typically much smaller than maximum range of 1.25 kΩ to >90 kΩ supported by the LDC1101. To achieve better resolution for systems with smaller RP ranges, the LDC1101 device offers a programmable RP range.
The LDC1101 uses adjustable current drives to scale the RP measurement range; by setting a tighter current range a higher accuracy RP measurement can be performed. This functionality can be considered as a variable gain amplifier (VGA) front end to an ADC. The current ranges are configured in the RPMIN and RPMAX fields of register RP_SET (address 0x01). Refer to LDC1101 RP Configuration for instructions to optimize these settings.
The LDC1101 utilizes internal programmable registers to configure time constants necessary for sensor oscillation. These internal time constants must be configured for RP measurements. Refer to Setting Internal Time Constant 1 and Setting Internal Time Constant 2 for instructions on how to configure them for a given system.
The LDC1101 provides an adjustable sample rate for the RP+L conversion, where longer conversion times have higher resolution. Refer to RP+L Sample Rate Configuration with RESP_TIME for more details.
The High Resolution L measurement (LHR) subsystem provides a high-resolution inductance (L) measurement of up to 24 bits. This L measurement can be configured to provide a higher resolution measurement than the measurement returned from the RP+L subsystem. The LHR subsystem also provides a constant conversion time interval, whereas the RP+L conversion interval is a function of the sensor frequency. The LHR measurement runs asynchronously with respect to the RP+L measurement.
The LHR sample rate is set by the Reference Count (LHR_RCOUNT) setting (registers 0x30 and 0x31). The LHR conversion resolution is proportional to the programmed RCOUNT value. With the maximum supported 16 MHz CLKIN input, the LDC1101 conversion interval can be set from 8.6 µs to 87.38 ms in 1 µs increments. Note that longer conversion intervals produce more accurate LHR measurements. Refer to LHR Sample Rate Configuration with RCOUNT for more details.
The LDC1101 can disable the RP measurement to perform a more stable L measurement. To enable this mode, set:
When this mode is used, RP measurement results are not valid.
The LDC1101 can report an error condition if the sensor oscillation stops. Refer to MIN_FREQ and Watchdog Configuration for information on the configuration of the watchdog.
When continuous LDC conversions are not required, the LDC1101 supports two reduced power modes. In Sleep mode, the LDC1101 retains register settings and can quickly enter active mode for conversions. In Shutdown mode, power consumption is significantly lower, although the device configuration is not retained. While in either low power mode, the LDC1101 will not perform conversions.
Shutdown mode is the lowest power state for the LDC1101. Note that entering SD mode will reset all registers to their default state, and so the device must have its registers rewritten. To enter Shutdown, perform the following sequence:
To exit Shutdown mode, resume toggling the clock input on the CLKIN pin; the LDC1101 will transition to Sleep mode with the default register values.
While in Shutdown mode, no conversions are performed. In addition, entering Shutdown mode will clear the status registers; if an error condition is present it will not be reported when the device exits Shutdown mode.
Sleep mode is entered by setting START_CONFIG.FUNC_MODE =b01 (register 0x0B:bits[1:0]). While in this mode, the register contents are maintained. To exit Sleep mode and start active conversions, set START_CONFIG.FUNC_MODE = b00. While in Sleep mode the SPI interface is functional so that register reads and writes can be performed.
On power-up or exiting Shutdown mode, the LDC1101 will be in Sleep mode.
Configuring the LDC1101 must be done while the device is in Sleep mode. If a setting on the LDC1101 needs to be changed, return the device to Sleep mode, change the appropriate register, and then return the LDC1101 to conversion mode. The registers related to INTB reporting can be changed while the LDC1101 is in active mode. Refer to INTB Reporting on SDO for more details.
The LDC1101 provides 2 status registers, STATUS and LHR_STATUS, to report on the device and sensor condition.
NAME | FIELD | FUNCTION |
---|---|---|
NO_SENSOR_OSC | 7 | When the resonance impedance of the sensor, RP, drops below the programed Rp_MIN, the sensor oscillation may stop. This condition is reported by STATUS:NO_SENSOR_OSC (register 0x20-bit7). This condition could occur when a target comes too close to the sensor or if RP_SET:RP_MIN (register 0x01-bits[2:0]) is set too high. |

RP_HIN | 5 | RP+L threshold – refer to Comparator Functionalityfor details |
RP_HI_LON | 4 | |
L_HIN | 3 | |
L_HI_LON | 2 | |
POR_READ | 0 | Device in Power-On Reset – device should only be configured when POR_READ = 0. |
The LHR_STATUS register (register 0x3B) reports on LHR functionality.
The SDO pin can generate INTB, a signal which corresponds to device status. INTB can report conversion completion or provide a comparator output, in which the LDC conversion results are internally compared to programmable thresholds. Refer to INTB Reporting on SDO for details.
The LDC1101 uses SPI to configure the internal registers. It is necessary to configure the LDC1101 while in Sleep mode. If a setting on the LDC1101 needs to be changed, return the device to Sleep mode, change the appropriate register, and then return the LDC1101 to conversion mode. CSB must go low before accessing first address. If the number of SCLK pulses is less than 16, a register write command will not change the contents of the addressed register.
The LDC1101 supports an extended SPI transaction, in which CSB is held low and sequential register addresses can be written or read. After the first register transaction, each additional 8 SCLK pulses will address the next register, reading or writing based on the initial R/W flag in the initial command. A register write command will take effect on the 8th clock pulse. Two or more registers can be programmed using this method. The register address must not increment above 0x3F.
