General description of sensor function:


The Sensor is sensitive to AC and DC current and can be used for fault current detection in EV-charging
applications. The Sensor detects DC fault currents according to IEC62955:2018 and AC/DC fault currents
according to UL2231-2 Ed.2. In the event of a 6mAdc fault current, PIN 7 will change its state from a low level
(GND) to high impedance state. In the event of a 20mArms fault current, PIN 6 will change state from a low level
(GND) to a high impedance state. Pin 7 only fulfills the switch-off characteristic of the IEC62955 standard
(monitoring the dc fault current). An additional driver-circuit must be used for driving a load switch or circuit
breaker as defined in IEC62955 / UL2231 as applicable.

Typical application diagram:

Fig. 1: Single sensor configuration without using UART

The sensor can be used without UART Interface. In this case a functional test is carried out by a LOW level
signal on terminal RxD-T (acc. timing diagram fig. 3). It is essential to perform a sensor test regularly for
proofability of the sensors function correctly.
Figure 3 explains the timing of the functional test via terminal RxD-T. The sensor generates a suitable internal
test current to test the tripping levels for the output X6-OUT and X20-OUT (acc. timing diagram fig. 3).

The function of the sensor can also be tested using the test winding. Internally, the test winding is connected
to Vcc. With an external switch to pin T-W the test current can be applied, a resistor (RT) in series to the
switch and T-W limits the current to the test winding. If the RT resistor is not installed, a short circuit occurs
across the test winding, which destroys the sensor. To keep the max ratings of 5 mA a 1k Ohm resistor
should be installed. The test current of 125 mA is then obtained through the turns ratio of N = 25.

Current can calculated by:

Fig 6: UART Typical Application with Master

Figure 6 explains the typical application for the sensor with additional Master to interface the sensor. In this
system, the interface-signals TxD and RxD are cross connected (Master TxD -> Sensor RxD; Master RxD ->
Sensor TxD). The master addresses a sensor by sending a message acc. to the protocol described in chapter
Serial Data Interface (UART
The sensor monitors and trips via the switching outputs X6-OUT/X20-OUT if the leakage current exceeds the
response value.
A functional test can be started by the master using the test -message (see c Serial Data
Interface (UART)
The master has access to measured values via the -
message according to chapter Serial Data Interface (UART) .

Timing
An idle time of more than 2 bytetimes between 2 bytes is interpreted as end of the message.
The slave starts to send an answer (begin of startbit) by no later than 20ms after reception of the stopbit of the last
message byte.
Between 2 requests to a slave, the master shall wait a minimum time of 50ms until the next request. This is to avoid
influence on the residual current measurement because of high traffic loads generated by a master.

Error handling
Each message transmitted has a 16-Bit checksum in the last two bytes transmitted to check the message integrity.
The crc is calculated byte by byte incorporating the complete message and then the two crc bytes are appended on
the end of the message.
The crc-polynom used is 0x18005 (x^16 + x^15 + x^2 + 1).
If a slave detects a crc-error, it does not answer that request. The master shall repeat the message up to 2 times and
if the slave still does not answer, the slave shall be considered to be defective.
