PRODUCTION DATA
The AFEx3902-Q1 smart analog front end (AFE) consist of a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input, a 10-bit (AFE53902-Q1) or 8-bit (AFE43902-Q1) digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output, and a 7-bit pulse-width modulation (PWM) output. The ADC uses a successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture. The DAC uses a string architecture followed by a voltage-output amplifier. The PWM output is multiplexed with one of the digital interface pins. Section 7.2 shows the smart AFE architecture within the block diagram, which operates from a 1.8-V to 5.5-V power supply. The device has an internal voltage reference of 1.21 V. There is an option to select an external reference on the VREF/MODE pin, or use the power supply as a reference. The ADC and DAC use one of these three reference options. Both the voltage-output and current-output modes support multiple programmable output ranges.
The AFEx3902-Q1 feature a preprogrammed state machine supporting multislope thermal foldback operation. Figure 7-1 shows the digital architecture of the smart AFE with the interconnections between different functional blocks. This state machine allows the user to program the coefficients and input-output parameters. The state machine can be disabled by writing to the STATE-MACHINE-CONFIG0 register. The user configurations are stored in the NVM and the state machine can be operated in standalone mode without interfacing to a processor (processor-less operation)
