2 Description
A²SI is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit certified for AS-i (Actuator Sensor-interface) networks. AS-i
networks are intended for industrial automation.
The main advantage of AS-i solutions is that actuators and sensors are connected using a two-wire unshielded
cable that is easy to install. This cable transports both power and information/data.
AS-i network communication is based on the master-slave principle. The network can be extended (to cable
lengths greater than 100m) by using the A²SI in the repeater mode configuration.
AS-i is a standard for the automation industry based on IEC 62026-2 and EN 50295.
The device is available in a 28-pin SSOP package.

6 Functional Block Description
6.1 Power Supply
An on-chip electronic inductor provides a de-coupled voltage at pin UOUT and the power supply regulates the
internal 5V operating voltage. The de-coupling circuit (electronic coil) is connected between UIN and UOUT pins
and guarantees a high impedance seen at UIN. An external capacitor and resistor are required to allow a low-
pass filter with a very high time constant. This high time-constant value is necessary to maximize the input
impedance. The de-coupling circuit limits the current that can be drawn from UOUT. The power supply will shut
down the de-coupling circuit in case of an overload condition to prevent a total malfunction of the complete AS-i
line. The regulated 5 volt supply voltage is connected to pin U5R. Two external capacitors are necessary to
cope with fast internal and external load changes (spikes). Current drawn from pin U5R (up to 4 mA) has to be
subtracted from the total load current. The power supply circuit dissipates the major amount of power.
The total power dissipation shall not exceed the specified values of Figure 6. The ground reference voltage for
both UOUT and U5R is defined by the 0V pin. This pin must be connected to ASI- (ref. Figure 1).
6.2 Receiver
The receiver detects signals on the AS-i line and delivers the appropriate pulses to the digital logic. The DC
value of the input signal is removed and the AC signal is band-pass filtered. The digital output signals are
extracted from the sin2-shaped input pulses by a set of comparators. The maximum voltage of the first negative
pulse determines the threshold level for all following pulses. The maximum value is digitally filtered to guarantee
stable conditions (burst spikes have no effect). This approach combines a fast adaptation to changing signal
amplitudes with a high detection safety. The receiver delivers positive (P-PULSE) and negative (N-PULSE)
pulses to the IC's logic. The logic resets the comparators after receiving the REC-RESET signal. When the
receiver is turned on, the transmitter is turned off to reduce power consumption.

6.3 Transmitter
The transmitter draws a modulated current between ASIP and ASIN pins to generate the communication
signals. The shape of the current corresponds to the integral of a sin2-function. The transmitter uses a current
DAC and a high current driver. In order to activate high current drive capability, a small current will be turned on
automatically prior to each transmission (slave mode only). The current will be ramped up slowly to avoid false
voltage pulses on the AS-I line. The amount of circuitry between ASI+ and ASI- pins is minimized to allow high
impedance values. When the transmitter is turned on, the receiver is turned off to reduce power consumption.
6.4 Digital Logic
The digital logic block performs analysis of the received signal, controls reaction of the IC, transmits slave
response, switches I/O-ports, and controls the internal EEPROM. Its principal function is described in detail in
section 7.
6.5 Protection Circuitry
The device has several protection cells that prevent disruption and malfunction of the complete AS-i line.
The thermal detection shuts down the power supply in case of over-heating condition (silicon temperature
> 140°C typically for more than 2 seconds) and when UOUT is shorted to GND for more than 2 seconds. The
device can only be reactivated by a power-on reset. An over-heating condition can occur by overloading any
output pin. Therefore, the circuit monitors the operating conditions of the power supply (effectively monitors
UOUT) and measures the temperature of the silicon.
6.6 Infrared Diode Input
The photo current input can be used as an alternative communication pin in slave mode. The IRD circuitry will
be turned off when the communication has been switched to AS-i line. In Slave mode the logic sets IRD input to
photo-detector mode and disables CMOS mode. In this photo-detector mode, signals of an external photo diode
are amplified. In CMOS mode (master/repeater mode only), input signals have to be CMOS levels between 0V
and VU5R.
6.7 Power-Fail Detection
The power-fail detector consists of a comparator that generates a logic signal in case the power supply drops
below 22VDC (Power-Fail) for a time of more than tLoff (0.8 ± 0.1 ms). The power fail signal will be presented at
pin P1 in master mode only.
Power-fail detection monitors the value of the ASIP voltage. It will activate a logic signal if power fails for more
than 1ms. The device is then buffered by the external capacitor at UOUT and the internal circuitry will be reset
when U5R supply voltage fails

7.1 Operational Modes
7.1.1 Master/Repeater Mode
7.1.1.1 IRD Input (CMOS Input)
The IC sends signals retrieved from pin IRD to AS-i line as an AS-i telegram. The input signal is Manchester-
coded and active low. A falling edge of the IRD signal, which is conducted to ADD-IN, starts the receiving
process and triggers the Activity-Checker. Receive-Muxer selects pin IRD as input for the receive data
The IRD signal is connected with Send-Muxer to SEND-D via ADD-IN. The IRD signal is latched every 500 ns
as long as there is activity on the input pin. If there is a high level on the IRD input longer then 7.0 µs, Activity-
Checker will recognize this as no activity and Receive-Muxer is returning to idle state. The information on pin
IRD is transported to pin SEND-D with a delay of 2.0 µs up to 2.5 µs. The sender is always in non-standby
mode. The SEND-SBY signal is constant low and there is no generation of ADD-CLK.

Advanced AS-Interface IC
7.1.1.2 AS-i Input
A signal on the AS-i-line generates signals at the receiver output that are pulse coded with a minimal pulse
width of 750 ns up to 875 ns. A pulse on the AS-i line starts the receiver and triggers the Activity-Checker
through N-PULSE or P-PULSE. The Receive-Muxer selects AS-i-line pins as input for the receive data. The N-
PULSE and P-PULSE signals are latched every 250 ns as long as there is activity on the input pins. If there is a
pulse distance on the AS-i-line inputs longer then 7.0 µs, the receiver will recognize this as no activity and the
Receive-Muxer is going to the idle state.
The Pulse-Encoder is used to convert the active high pulse-coded signal to a active low Manchester-II-coded
(MAN) signal. It will also check the pulse stream for timing and pulse errors (e.g. alternation error). In
Master/Repeater mode the Pulse-Encoder additionally resynchronizes an error-free MAN telegram into a proper
3 µs time base. This is to eliminate the pulse jitter of the transformed AS-i telegram. The synchronized MAN
signal is sent to ADD-OUT through the Send-Muxer. ADD-OUT is connected to LED-OUT on a higher hierarchy
level. All in all, information on the AS-i-line pins is transported to pin LED-OUT with a delay of 2.5 µs up to
3.0 µs. In Master/Repeater mode the sender is never in standby mode, hence SEND-SBY signal is always low.
A generation of ADD-CLK is provided to simplify external processing of Manchester-coded data. The rising edge
of the ADD-CLK signal is in the middle of the second half of the Manchester data assuring that correct binary
data can be clocked into a shift register. The ADD-CLK starts with a rising edge 2.0 µs after the falling edge of
the start bit at ADD-OUT with a period of 6.0 µs and a ratio of 1:1. The last rising edge of the ADD-CLK signal
occurs 2.0 µs after the falling edge of the end bit at ADD-OUT.
If the received signal in the Master Mode is a valid slave answer with start bit, four (4) data bits, parity, and end
bit and if a pause is following with a length greater than 6.0 µs, the UART generates the active high REC-STRB
signal with a pulse width of 500 ns. The REC-STRB signal is connected to the P2 Parameter Output in this
mode. It appears 10.0 to 10.5 µs after the rising edge of the end bit on AS-i-line.
7.1.1.3 Ports
Functional assignments of some IC ports depend on the operational mode of the IC. Thus, these ports perform
multiple functions that are related to a particular mode of the IC.
In Master Mode, following signals and ports are connected:

7.1.2 Slave Mode
After IC-reset, Receive-Muxer is watching the two input channels (AS-i-line and IRD pin) depending on a
multiplex select signal MPX. MPX has a frequency of about 1.0 kHz. If MPX is low, the Receive-Muxer selects
the AS-i-line and vice versa if it is high, it selects the IRD pin as data input. The channel, from which a valid
master call is received first, will be locked until the next IC-reset occurs.
7.1.2.1 IRD Input Mode (Photo Diode Input)
The photo diode current on the IRD input is Manchester-coded and low active (ref. 8.2.2 Addressing Channel
Input IRD). A low level of the IRD signal starts the receiver and triggers the Activity-Checker. The Control-Unit is
enabling the Receive-Register and the received information is clocked every 6 µs into the Receive-Register. If
there is a high level on the IRD input longer then 7.0 µs, the Control-Unit will recognize this as no activity and
the Receive-Register will be disabled. If the received information is a correct master call with Start-Bit, eleven
Data-Bits, Parity-Bit, End-Bit, and following pause of either greater than 6.0 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 18.0 µs
(Asynchronous Mode), the UART generates the internal active high REC-STRB signal with a pulse width of
500 ns.
If the received telegram contained an error, the Control-Unit will not generate the REC-STRB signal but go to its
asynchronous state waiting for a pause at the IRD input. After a pause was detected, the UART is ready to
receive the next telegram from the IRD input.
If a REC-STRB signal is generated, it occurs 9.5 µs up to 10.0 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 21.0 µs up to 21.5 µs
(Asynchronous Mode), respectively, after the rising edge of the End-Bit on the IRD pin signal. If the slave was in
asynchronous state, it now transforms to synchronous state. The Rec-Muxer is locked to the IRD input until the
next IC-reset. After the generation of a REC-STRB signal the Control-Unit is waiting for about 6.0 µs for the
SEND-STRB to be generated by the Main-State-Machine.
If the Control-Unit receives the active high SEND-STRB signal, it starts the transmission of the Send-Register
data. Therefore, the Send-Register data will be converted to an active low Manchester II-coded (MAN) signal
which is sent to the LED-OUT pin via ADD-OUT. The first falling edge of the MAN signal occurs 11.75 µs
(Synchronous Mode) or 12.25 µs (Asynchronous Mode) after the rising edge of the REC-STRB signal. Hence,
the delay from the rising edge of the End-Bit of the master call (IRD input) to the first falling edge of the slave
response (LED output) is 21.25 to 21.75 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 33.25 to 33.75 µs (Asynchronous Mode).
After the pause was detected, the UART is ready to receive the next telegram from the IRD input.
In case the Control-Unit will not receive a SEND-STRB signal within the given time frame (for instance, if this
slave was not addressed), it will check for activity on the IRD input. Otherwise, it will just wait for the end of the
response time (60 µs). In both cases the Control-Unit stays synchronous. Once a slave pause was detected, the
UART is ready to receive the next telegram from the IRD input
7.1.2.2 AS-i Input Mode
A signal on the AS-i-line generates two pulse-coded signals (N-PULSE, P-PULSE) at the receiver output with a
minimum pulse width of 750 to 875 ns. A pulse on the AS-i line starts the receiver and triggers the Activity-
Checker through N-PULSE or P-PULSE.
The Pulse-Encoder is used to convert the active high pulse coded signal to an active low Manchester-II-coded
(MAN) signal. It will also check the pulse stream for timing and pulse errors (e.g. alternation error). The Control-
Unit enables the Receive-Register so that the received information can be clocked in every 6 µs. If there is a
pulse distance on the AS-i-line input longer than 7.0 µs, the Control-Unit recognizes this as no activity and
disables the Receive-Register.
If the received information is a correct master call with Start-Bit, eleven (11) Data-Bits, Parity-Bit, End-Bit, and
following pause of either greater than 6.0 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 18.0 µs (Asynchronous Mode), the UART
generates the internal active high REC-STRB signal. If the received telegram contained an error, the Control-
Unit will not generate the REC-STRB signal but go to its asynchronous state waiting for a pause at the AS-i line
input. After a pause was detected the UART is ready to receive the next telegram from the AS-i line input.
Data Sheet, Rev. 2.4, March 04, 2002 10/31
A²SI
Advanced AS-Interface IC
If a REC-STRB signal is generated, it occurs 10.0 to 10.5 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 21.5 to 22 µs
(Asynchronous Mode), respectively, after the rising edge (receiver comparator switching point) of the End-Bit on
the AS-i line input. If the slave was in asynchronous state, it now transforms to synchronous state. The Rec-
Muxer is locked to the AS-i line input until the next IC-reset. After the generation of a REC-STRB signal the
Control-Unit is waiting for about 6.0 µs for the SEND-STRB to be generated by the Main-State-Machine.
If the Control-Unit receives the active high SEND-STRB signal (pulse width 500 ns), it starts the transmission of
the Send-Register data. Therefore, the Send-Register data will be converted to an active low Manchester II-
coded (MAN) signal which is sent to the AS-i line transmitter via SEND-D. The first falling edge of the MAN
signal occurs 11.75 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 12.25 µs (Asynchronous Mode) after the rising edge of the REC-
STRB signal.
Hence, the delay from the rising edge of the End-Bit of the master call (AS-i input) to the first falling edge of the
slave response (AS-i output) is 21.75 to 22.25 µs (Synchronous Mode) or 33.75 to 34.25 µs (Asynchronous
Mode).
The SEND-SBY will always be set low 0.5 µs after the rising edge of REC-STRB. This is to turn on the
transmitter and let it settle at its operation point. The small offset current, which is required to operate the
transmitter, will be ramped up slowly to avoid any false voltage pulses on the AS-i line.
If all data is sent, the Control-Unit sets the sender in standby mode (SEND-SBY is high) and checks for a slave
pause on the AS-i line input. After the pause was detected, the UART is ready to receive the next telegram from
the AS-i line input.
In case the Control-Unit will not receive a SEND-STRB signal within the given time frame (for instance, if this
slave was not addressed), it will check for activity on the AS-i line. If any activity is detected in a time frame of
about 60 µs (another slave is transmitting data), the Control-Unit will wait for the next pause (slave pause).
Otherwise, it will just wait for the end of the response time (60 µs). In both cases the Control-Unit stays
synhronus. Once a slave pause was detected, the UART is ready to receive the next telegram from the AS-i line
input.
7.1.2.3 Ports
Although the A²SI can still store the AS-i Slave IO-Configuration Code it does not decode the value to configure
the direction of the Data-Port signals. The A²SI rather has distinctive Data-Out and Data-In ports which do
always work in parallel.
If bidirectional Data I/O is desired on top of a single Data-Port only (for backwards compatibility), the Data-Out
pins and the Data-In pins need to be shorted on the circuit board respectively and the nonvololatile Multiplex
flag has to be set TRUE.
In that case the output ports will switch to high impedance state for a certain time following the rising edge of the
Data-Strobe and allow the input data to be put on the Data-Port.
The input data will be read inverted if the nonvolotile Invert_Data_In flag is TRUE. This feature will simplify the
circuitry for NPN-inputs.
Note: The Multiplex and the Invert_Data_In flags are Configuration flags which are stored in the Firmware
region of the internal E²PROM. For a complete overview of the E²PROM content please see the A²SI
Application Notes.
The parameter port is always in bidirectional mode. The input data is the result of a wired-AND between the
open drain output drivers and the application drivers.
7.1.2.4 Watchdog
Compliant to the AS-i Complete Specification, the IC contains an independent watchdog which is generally
enabled by setting Watchdog_Active flag in the E²PROM to TRUE.
Data Sheet, Rev. 2.4, March 04, 2002 11/31
A²SI
Advanced AS-Interface IC
The watchdog will be activated for any slave address uneven to zero (0) after the reception of a
Write_Parameter Request at the particular Slave Address. It will be deactivated by any circuit Reset and after
the reception of a Delete_Address Request.
When activated, the Watchdog will be reset by every Write_Parameter and Data_Exchange Request received
by the Slave. If no such request was received by the particular Slave within 40ms, a Hardware Reset will be
performed and all Data and Parameter Outputs are switched inactive.
7.1.2.5 LED Output
An active FID (logic high) signal causes a flashing status LED (frequency approx. 2Hz) and Bit 1 of the AS-i
Slave Status-Register (S1) is set as well. If FID is not active (logic low), S1 is cleared. In that case the status
LED operation depends on the Data-Exchange-Disable flag.
The Data-Exchange-Disable is set to TRUE by each Reset of the A²SI. It becomes cleared (set to FALSE) after
the first reception of a Write_Parameter Request.
If the Data-Exchange-Disable flag is set, no data exchange can be performed through the Data Ports which is
indicated by a steady-on LED.
Note: An active FID has priority and will cause a flashing LED even if the Data-Exchange-Disable flag is set.
If the UART has selected the IRD input channel, the LED output is again overriden by the Addressing Channel
output. In this mode the LED pin does not operate as indicator LED output and periphery failures or status
information can not be signaled.
7.1.2.6 Overtemp shutdown
The A²SI continuously observes its silicon die temperature. If the temperature rises above 140°C the IC will be
put into shut-down and stay there until the next power-on reset occurs.
7.1.2.7 State Machine
The so-called Main-State-Machine performs the central control of the A2SI IC in terms of operation mode
selection, EEPROM access control, processing of master requests and the control of the IC ports. The Main-
State-Machine interfaces with the UART through the Receive- and the Send-Register as well as certain strobe
signals.
To avoid the situation in which a slave IC gets locked in a not allowed state (i.e by imission of strong
electromacnetic radiation) and thereby would jeopardize the entire system, all prohibited states of the state
machine will lead to a RESET which is comparable to the AS-i call ”Reset Slave (RES)”.
7.2 Summary of Master Calls
In the following diagram all Master Calls that will be decoded by the A2SI are listed. The "Enter Program Mode"
call is intended for factory programming of the IC only.
In order to achieve EEPROM firmware protection and to comply to the complete AS-i specification, the call
"Enter Program Mode" has to be deactivated before shipment of the slave.

8.2 DC and AC Characteristics
All parameters are valid for the recommended range of VASIP - VASIN, VUIN - V0V, and qamb. The devices are
tested within the recommended range of VASIP - VASIN, VIN - V0V, qamb = +25°C (+ 85°C and - 25°C on sample
base only) unless otherwise stated. Unused input pins shall be connected to a suitable potential within the
application circuit because there are no internal pull-up/down resistors. It is recommended to connect these pins
either to 0V or via resistor to UOUT or U5R respectively.
With an external LOW signal at the data strobe pin DSR (pull-down open drain driver) for more than 44µs, the
IC will execute its reset procedure. During power on procedure all data and parameter ports will stay on high-
impedance state.
If the IC has been put in its initialization procedure by an external reset via DSR, the LED pin should not be
toggled externally to avoid that the IC control logic transfers to test mode.

8.2.2 Addressing Channel Input IRD
The addressing channel input IRD is a dedicated photo-diode input. The photo-diode can be connected to the
pins IRD and 0V directly. The IRD input is a AC current input. A valid signal at the current input has to have a
certain amplitude (range) and should not exceed a certain offset value (see Figure 10 and Table 9). A logic
"low" at the IRD input will be detected, if the present signal value drops below IIRDO, and a "high” will be
detected, if its present value is greater than IIRDO + IIRDA.

The fault indication input FID is a digital input dedicated for a periphery fault messaging signal (for properties
see Table 5). The S1 status bit is equivalent to the FID input signal. A FID transition will occur at S1 with a
certain delay, because a synchronizer circuit is put in between.

See chapter 11, Package Marking, for details on how to distinguish different IC versions.
2 The de-coupling capacitor and serial resistor define internal low-pass filter time constant; lower values decrease the impedance but
improve the turn-on time. Higher values do not improve the impedance but do increase the turn-on time. The turn-on time also depends
on the load capacitor at UOUT. After connecting the slave to the power the capacitor is charged with the maximum current IUOUT. The
impedance will increase when the voltage allows the analog circuitry to fully operate.

10 Application Circuits
The following figures show typical application cases of the A2SI IC. Figure 14 shows an application circuit in
which the A2SI is replacing an ASI3+ circuit. Finally, Figure 15 shows how the A2SI circuit can be used to
perform the analog/digital interface between the AS-i-line and the master electronics. Furthermore this figure
shows that the IC can be used in repeater applications as well.
10.1 EMC Precautions
Precaution must be taken to avoid radio frequency interference. It is recommended to keep input lines as short
as possible and to connect unused inputs to UOUT through a pull-up resistor. Furthermore, the supply pins
should be de-coupled with ceramic capacitors (10 to 100 nF) in addition to the normal de-coupling capacitors.
Also, it is recommended to connect a pull-up resistor from DSR (pin 22) to UOUT or U5R in order to avoid
unintentional reset under difficult EMC conditions.
10.2 Typical Slave Application
Note: Figure 13 and Figure 14 show all digital (data and parameter) ports without the application specific
connections. For correct function, it is important to consider that all output drivers are open drain stages and
hence each port must be connected with an appropriate pull-up resistor.
