Temp-Log 5 Click Board™

How Does The Temp-Log 5 Click Board™ Work?

The sensor IC used on the Temp-Log 5 Click Board™ is CAT34TS02 from ON semiconductor that combines a JC42.4 compliant Temperature Sensor (TS) with 2 Kb of Serial Presence Detect (SPD) EEPROM. Temperature sensor measures and stores temperatures at least 10 times in a second, allowing it to be retrieved by the host MCU via the I2C interface. The result can be compared to critical limits, stored in internal registers. This allows the sensor to reduce the processing workload of the host MCU by employing the trigger limits mechanism: by asserting the EVENT line to a LOW logic level, the CAT34TS02 is able to wake up the host MCU, reducing the power consumption. The EVENT pin is routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™. The CAT34TS02 IC can be configured to trigger an EVENT in three different modes: Interrupt mode, Comparator mode, and Critical Temperature mode.

When set in the Interrupt Mode, the EVENT output will be asserted every time the temperature crosses one of the alarm limits. Once the temperature exceeds the critical limit, the EVENT remains asserted as long as the temperature stays above the critical limit. The EVENT can be cleared by setting a bit in a corresponding register (must be cleared by the software). However, the pin will remain asserted as long as the temperature exceeds the critical limits.

In the Comparator mode, the EVENT pin is asserted whenever the temperature is outside the predefined limit values and deasserted as soon as the temperature drops under the limit (no need to clear the bit by the software). If set in the Critical Temperature Mode, the EVENT pin will be asserted only if the temperature exceeds a critical threshold limit. The limit values can be programmed via the corresponding registers.

CAT34TS02 IC uses the I2C/SMBus protocols to communicate with the host MCU. Its I2C bus pins are routed to the mikroBUS™ I2C pins and are pulled to a HIGH logic level by the onboard resistors. The I2C slave address of the CAT34TS02 IC can be selected by ADDR pins A0, A1 and A2: LOW logic level clears the corresponding address bit (GND), while HIGH logic level sets the bit (VCC). This can be done using a group of onboard jumpers, positioned under the label ADDR SEL.

The provided click board™ library contains simple and easy to use functions, which simplify configuring and reading of the measurement data. These functions are demonstrated in the included example application and can be used as a reference for custom projects. These functions can be used in mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal compilers for all MCU architectures, supported by MikroElektronika.
