4 / 7 page Introduction to HART HART is a backward-compatible enhancement to exist- ing 4–20mA instrumentation networks that allows two- way, half-duplex, digital communication with a microcontroller-based field device. The digital signal is encoded on top of the existing instrumentation signal. Communication is accomplished through a series of commands and responses dependent on the specific protocol and network topology. The DS8500 does not implement any portion of the communication protocol; it only handles the modulation and demodulation of the encoded information. Digital data is encoded using fre- quency-shift keying (FSK), which is illustrated in Figure 1. A “1” is identified as a mark symbol and is represent- ed with a center frequency of 1.2kHz. A “0” is identified as a space symbol and is represented with a center fre- quency of 2.2kHz. This allows a throughput of 1.2kbps, with each symbol occupying an 833µs slot. Functional Description The DS8500 modem chip consists of a demodulator, car- rier detect, digital filter, ADC for input signal conversion, a modulator and DAC for output signal generation, and receive and transmit state machine blocks to perform the HART communication. The Block Diagram illustrates the interface between various blocks of circuitry. The input HART signal’s noise interference is attenuat- ed by a one-pole highpass filter that is external to the chip; the attenuated signal is digitized by the ADC and filtered by the receive state machine. The transmit state machine modulates the input to the HART-compliant signal with the help of the modulator and the DAC. Modulator The modulator performs the FSK modulation of the digi- tal data at the D_IN input. The FSK-modulated sinu- soidal signal is present at the FSK_OUT output as illustrated in Figure 1. The modulator is enabled by RTS being a logic-low. The modulation is done between 1200Hz (mark) or 2200Hz (space) depending on the logic level of the input signal. The modulator preserves a continuous phase when switching between frequencies to minimize the bandwidth of the transmitted signal. Figure 2 illustrates an example waveform of the DS8500 in modulate mode. The data to be modulated is pre- sented in a UART format (start, 8 data bits, parity, stop bit) at D_IN. FSK_OUT shows the modulated output. Demodulator The demodulator accepts an FSK signal at the FSK_IN input and reproduces the original modulating signal at the D_OUT output. The HART signal should be present- ed as an 11-bit UART character with a start, data, pari- ty, and stop bits for proper operation of the demodulator block. The nominal bit rate of the D_OUT signal is 1200 bits per second. A simple RC filter is suf- ficient for anti-aliasing. Figure 3 illustrates an example waveform of the DS8500 in demodulate mode. Applications Information Figure 4 shows the typical application circuit. As the DS8500 integrates a digital filter, only a simple passive RC filter is required in front of the ADC. R3 and C3 implement a lowpass filter with a 10kHz cutoff frequen- cy; C2 and R2/R1 implement a highpass filter with a 480Hz cutoff frequency. The resistor-divider formed by R1 and R2 provides an input bias voltage of VREF/2 to the ADC input (R1 = R2). The output DAC provides a sine-wave signal, and C4 provides the AC-coupled signal output from the DS8500. The typical value of C4 can be anything greater than 20nF based on the application.
