8.1 Application Information

The DAC4390x-Q1 are a family of smart DACs that provide PWM-based logarithmic dimming. The DAC43902-Q1 provides four PWM outputs with configurable logarithmic fade-in time, and delays between each channel that can be used to create a sequential pattern for automotive turn-indicator lights. The DAC43901-Q1 provides two PWM outputs with a configurable fade-in and fade-out time applicable for automotive interior and exterior lighting. Both devices support an active-high GPI trigger to start the fade in of the PWM outputs. The DAC43902-Q1 also has a trigger output that can be used to cascade multiple DAC43902-Q1 devices. The PWM outputs are on the digital interface pins of the device. All the digital outputs are open drain; use external pullup resistors on these pins. The interface protocol is detected at power on, and the device locks to the protocol as long as VDD is on. In I2C mode, when allocating the I2C addresses in the system, consider the broadcast address as well. The I2C timeout can be enabled for robustness. SPI mode is three-wire by default. After the configuration is initially programmed, the MODE pin of the device is pulled high to enable the PWM outputs on the digital pins. The NVM available in these devices can be used to store the necessary configuration settings so that the devices can work in standalone mode without the need for a processor.
