3 Description

The DAC43901-Q1 and DAC43902-Q1 (DAC4390x-Q1) are a family of automotive, 8-bit smart DACs with dual and quad PWM outputs. The DAC43901-Q1 provides two PWM outputs, and the DAC43902-Q1 provides four PWM outputs. The DAC channels also act as trigger inputs or outputs. The DAC4390x-Q1 provides a preconfigured state machine that logic generates logarithmic dimming with configurable timings. The PWM-based logarithmic dimming is applicable in logarithmic fade-in and fade-out applications in automotive interior and exterior lighting. The DAC4390x-Q1 also support sequential animation applicable for automotive turn-indicator lights. These devices provide NVM for storing the configurations. These smart DACs function without the need for a processor (processor-less operation) using GPIOs and NVM.

These devices automatically detect I2C or SPI and have an internal reference. The feature set combined with the tiny package and low power make the smart DACs an excellent choice for applications in automotive light animation.
