7.3.1 Smart Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Architecture

The DAC4390x-Q1 feature a programmable state machine supporting arithmetic, logic, and timing operations, as shown in Figure 7-1. This state machine is preprogrammed as a logarithmic fade-in and fade-out animation controller for the DAC43901-Q1, and as a sequential turn indicator for the DAC43902-Q1, allowing the user to program the fade-in fade-out and channel delay timings. The state machine can be disabled by writing to the STATE-MACHINE-CONFIG0 register. The user configurations are stored in the NVM. The state machine can be operated in standalone mode without interfacing to a processor (processor-less operation).

The DAC4390x-Q1 provide digital PWM outputs with 7-bit duty-cycle resolution and 32 discrete frequency settings. The PWM pins are multiplexed with the programming pins. The VREF/MODE pin selects between the programming and standalone modes of operation.

The DAC4390x-Q1 provide DAC channels that use a string architecture with a voltage-output amplifier that can also be used as comparators. Section 7.2 shows the DAC architecture within the block diagram, which operates from a 1.8-V to 5.5-V power supply. The DAC channels use one of the following three reference options: the DAC internal voltage reference of 1.21 V, an external reference on the VREF/MODE pin, or the power supply.

The DAC4390x-Q1 devices include a smart feature set to enable processor-less operation and high-integration. The NVM enables a predictable start-up. These devices support internal function generation, such as sawtooth, triangular, sine, and PWM. These devices also support a state machine that is preconfigured for specific applications on different devices. These state machines are configured using the register map, and the parameters can be stored in the NVM.
