Figure 5. The DS1086 uses the oscillator found in other EconOscillators along with a triangle-wave signal that is applied to the voltagecontrolled oscillator, thus dithering the output.
the past few years, the use of spread-spectrum clock oscillators gained popularity. The characteristics of the clock
are a relatively precise short-term stability of frequency,
usually on the order of 200ppm to 300ppm. The long-term
frequency stability is swept over frequency values ranging
from 1/2% to 4% of the oscillators center frequency.

Figure 3. The signals frequency is selected so that it is much lower than the oscillator it is dithering. Consequently, electronics driven by the
oscillator are not affected by rapid frequency changes.

Using spread-spectrum oscillators to reduce
radiated emissions in consumer products
In 1975 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
the government agency that regulates radio frequency
(RF) emissions in the United States, enacted new regulations called FCC Part 15. These were not directed at
controlling equipment such as radio and TV transmitters,
or aircraft-navigation and emergency beacons that deliberately radiate high-power RF energy. Instead, these regulations sought to control equipment that did not deliberately
radiate RF energy such as televisions, automobiles, and
low-power, unregulated RF radiators such as walkietalkies and electronic remote controls.

DESIGN SHOWCASE
Reducing error in bandgap-based
temperature sensors with curve fitting
Direct-to-digital temperature sensor ICs commonly use a
bandgap proportional-to-absolute temperature (PTAT)
architecture to produce relatively high-accuracy measurements at a reasonable price. Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor
uses unique manufacturing methods to provide factorycalibrated bandgap/PTAT-based temperature sensors with
accuracy as high as 0.5C. This level of accuracy is
sufficient for many applications, however, some scientific
and industrial applications require even greater precision.
Concept
The PTAT node in bandgap circuits has a voltage coefficient that increases monotonically with increasing temperature and is highly stable over time and environmental
stresses. These characteristics make the bandgap PTAT
node an excellent temperature-measurement device that
provides high accuracy under the appropriate calibration
conditions.
Although the PTAT characteristic is approximately linear,
it has a slight second-order curvature, which translates to
a second-order error relative to the ambient temperature.
To illustrate this point, a DS1631 IC was used to measure
the temperature in a thermally conductive liquid bath at
5C intervals over a -3C to +85C temperature range.
The temperature of the liquid was simultaneously
measured by a NIST traceable platinum RTD to provide a
very accurate temperature reading for the liquid during
each DS1631 measurement. Figure 1 shows a plot of the
DS1631 measurement error relative to the RTD measurements. In this figure, the second-order curvature is clearly
visible. Notice that this plot has a negative offset at the
center of the curve. This offset was intentionally introduced during calibration so the accuracy at the central
temperature was reduced, but the overall accuracy was
higher over a wider temperature range.

Summary
1-Wire technology made possible the combination of
electronic communication and instrumentation based on
positive identification of individual nodes on a single
self-powered net. Continued development of the technology has increased the array of 1-Wire chips able to
interface with the environment, measuring events,
voltage, current, temperature, position, etc. In turn, these
chips enabled the construction of sensors that measure a
host of environmental parameters on a single twisted-pair
cable as described within this article.
