inadequate VCC exists to operate the laser driver. Once
adequate VCC is present to clear the VCC low alarm, the
outputs are enabled following the same sequence as the
power-up sequence.
As previously mentioned, the FETG is an output used to
disable the laser current through a series nMOSFET or
pMOSFET. This requires that the FETG output can sink
or source current. Because the DS1865 does not know
if it should sink or source current before VCC exceeds
VPOA, which triggers the EE recall, this output will
be high impedance when VCC is below VPOA (see the
Low-Voltage Operation section for details and
diagram). The application circuit must use a pullup or
pulldown resistor on this pin that pulls FETG to the
alarm/shutdown state (high for a pMOS, low for a
nMOS). Once VCC is above VPOA, the DS1865 pulls the
FETG output to the state determined by the FETG DIR
bit (Table 02h, Register 89h). FETG DIR is 0 if an nMOS
is used and 1 if a pMOS is used.
Determining Alarm Causes
Using the I2C Interface
To determine the cause of the TX-F or FETG alarm, the
system processor can read the DS1865’s Alarm Trap
Bytes (ATB) through the I2C interface (in Table 01h). The
ATB has a bit for each alarm. Any time an alarm occurs,
regardless of the mask bit’s state, the DS1865 sets the
corresponding bit in the ATB. Active ATB bits remain set
until written to zeros through the I2C interface. On power-
up, the ATB is zeros until alarms dictate otherwise.
Die Identification
The DS1865 has an ID hard coded to its die. Two regis-
ters (Table 02h bytes 86h–87h) are assigned for this
feature. Byte 86h reads 65h to identify the part as the
DS1865, byte 87h reads the die revision.
Low-Voltage Operation
The DS1865 contains two power-on reset (POR) levels.
The lower level is a digital POR (VPOD) and the higher
level is an analog POR (VPOA). At startup, before the
supply voltage rises above VPOA, the outputs are dis-
abled (FETG and BIAS outputs are high impedance,
MOD is low), all SRAM locations are low (including
shadowed EEPROM), and all analog circuitry is dis-
abled. When VCC reaches VPOA, the SEE is recalled,
and the analog circuitry is enabled. While VCC remains
above VPOA, the device is in its normal operating state,
and it responds based on its nonvolatile configuration.
If during operation VCC falls below VPOA but is still
above VPOD, the SRAM retains the SEE settings from
