7.1 Overview

The 8-bit AFE439A2, 10-bit AFE539A4, and 12-bit AFE639D2 devices (AFEx39xx) are smart analog front ends (AFE) for thermoelectric cooling (TEC) control using voltage or PWM output. These devices support a programmable comparator input for fault management. Table 7-1 provides the key functions these devices support.

Table 7-1 Function List
DEVICE ADC DAC PWM COMPARATOR I2C CONTROLLER PI CONTROL
AFE439A2 8-bit No 7-bit 8-bit No Yes
AFE539A4 10-bit 10-bit No 10-bit No Yes
AFE639D2 Interfaces to external ADC 12-bit No 12-bit Yes Yes

The AFEx39xx provide a pre-programmed state machine that functions as a proportional-integral (PI) controller. These devices contain nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, and automatically detect I2C and SPI. The AFEx39xx has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The AFEx39xx operates with either an internal reference, external reference, or power supply as the reference.

The AFEx39xx supports I2C standard mode (100Kbps), fast mode (400Kbps), and fast mode plus (1Mbps). The I2C interface can be configured with four device addresses using the A0 pin. The SPI mode supports a three-wire interface by default, with up to 25-MHz SCLK input. The NC/SDO input can be configured as SDO in the NVM for SPI read capability. The AFEx39xx is designed for closed-loop control applications, such as TEC control, car seat heating control, medical in-vitro diagnostics devices, blood gas analyzers, and thermal cyclers.

The AFE639D2 includes an I2C controller interface to interface with external digital temperature sensors. Use the VREF/MODE pin to select between the target mode and the controller mode.
