PRODUCTION DATA
The 10-bit AFE53004W and 12-bit AFE63004W (AFEx3004W) are a pin-compatible family of four channel smart analog-front-end (AFE) devices which presents a unique combination of analog and digital features in a single tiny WCSP. The AFE analog channels are independently configurable as 10-bit (AFE53004W) or 12-bit (AFE63004W) buffered voltage outputs, 8-bit unipolar or bipolar current outputs, or analog inputs muxed to the 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). These smart AFEs contain nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, automatically detectable SPI or I2C interface, PMBus-compatibility in I2C mode, force-sense output, and a general-purpose input. These devices support Hi-Z power-down modes by default, which can be configured to 10kΩ-GND or 100kΩ-GND using the NVM, and the analog outputs are Hi-Z when VDD is off . The AFEx3004W have a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The AFEx3004W operate with either an internal reference, external reference, or with a power supply as the reference, and provide a full-scale output of 1.8V to 5.5V.
The AFEx3004W devices support I2C standard mode (100Kbps), fast mode (400Kbps), and fast mode plus (1Mbps). The I2C interface can be configured with four target addresses using the A0 pin. These devices also support specific PMBus commands such as turn on/off, margin high or low, and more. The SPI mode supports a three-wire interface by default with up to a 50MHz SCLK input. The GPIO input can be configured as SDO in the NVM for SPI read capability. The GPIO input can alternatively be configured as the LDAC, PD, STATUS, FAULT-DUMP, RESET, or PROTECT function.
The AFEx3004W also include digital slew rate control, and support standard waveform generation such as sine and cosine, triangular, and sawtooth waveforms. These devices can generate pulse-width modulation (PWM) output with the combination of the triangular or sawtooth waveform and the FB pin. The force-sense outputs of the analog channels can be used as programmable comparators. The comparator mode allows programmable hysteresis, latching comparator, window comparator, and fault-dump to the NVM.
