6.3.1 Smart Analog-Front-End Converter (AFE) Architecture

The AFEx3004W DAC channels consist of a string architecture with a voltage-output amplifier and an external FB pin and voltage-to-current converter. Section 6.2 shows the DAC architecture within the block diagram, which operates from a 1.8V to 5.5V power supply. The AFE has an internal voltage reference of 1.21V. There is an option to select an external reference on the VREF pin, the power supply as a reference, or the internal reference with configurable gain options. The voltage output mode uses one of these three reference options and is independently configurable for each DAC channel. The current output mode uses an internal band gap to generate the current outputs. Both the voltage- and current-output modes support multiple programmable output ranges.

The AFEx3004W contains a 10-bit successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC on channel 3. Any other analog channel can be configured as an ADC input if channel 3 is configured in ADC mode. The ADC reference is independently configurable per channel with the same reference options available in the DAC configuration. The figure below shows the AFE architecture with enabled ADC.

The AFEx3004W devices support Hi-Z output when VDD is off, maintaining very low leakage current at the output pins with up to 1.25V of forced voltage. The analog output pin also starts up in high-impedance mode by default. To change the power-up mode to 10kΩ-GND or 100kΩ-GND, program the corresponding VOUT-PDN-X field in the COMMON-CONFIG register and load these bits in the device NVM.

The AFEx3004W devices support an independent programmable comparator mode for each channel. The respective FBx pins act as the inputs for the comparator. The AFE architecture supports inversion of the comparator output using register settings. The comparator outputs can be push-pull or open-drain. The comparator mode supports programmable hysteresis using margin-high and margin-low register fields, latching comparator, and window comparator. The comparator outputs are accessible internally by the device.

The AFEx3004W devices include a smart feature set to enable processor-less operation and high-integration. The NVM enables a predictable start-up. The GPIO triggers the analog output without the I2C interface in the absence of a processor or when the processor or software fails. The integrated functions and the FBx pin enable PWM output for control applications. The FBx pin enables this device to be used as a programmable comparator. The AFE also features digital slew-rate control.
