PRODUCTION DATA
The DAC539G2-Q1 is an application-specific, look-up table (LUT) based GPI-to-PWM converter. This device has a 10-bit GPI-to-voltage output converter and a voltage-to-PWM converter. Both these circuits can be externally connected to create a GPI-to-PWM converter. Three GPIs are mapped to eight 10-bit digital codes that represent the voltage output. There is a programmable delay at the GPIs to eliminate glitches on these inputs. The look-up table values are programmed using I2C or SPI. The GPIs are multiplexed with the I2C and SPI pins. The voltage-to-PWM converter uses a comparator with one input as a programmable sawtooth or triangle waveform, and the other input as an external voltage input connected from the GPI-to-voltage converter.
This smart DAC use the MODE pin to select between programming mode (I2C or SPI) and standalone-application mode. The DAC539G2-Q1 provides nonvolatile memory (NVM) to store the register settings at factory using the I2C or SPI. After being programmed, this device functions autonomously without the need for a processor.
The DAC539G2-Q1 is an excellent choice for fault communication in automotive stop light and turn indicator modules. This device can also be used for fault communication in other industrial and automotive applications.
