PRODUCTION DATA
This design uses the DAC539E4W to monitor four analog input voltages and output a 4-bit fault code on the GPO pins based on a 16-position LUT. The DAC539E4W output buffers have an exposed feedback path through the analog input (AINx) pins which act as the voltage input to the comparators. The DAC outputs are connected to the non-inverting inputs of the output buffers and set the user programmable comparator thresholds. Use this circuit to communicate faults in applications such as cordless power tools, vacuum robots, air purifiers, and humidifiers. Figure 8-1 shows an example schematic for this application. This schematic connects the AINx and OUTx pins so that the layout can be routed as shown in Figure 8-3. This layout strategy removes the need for vias-in-pad and a multilayer board, thereby reducing manufacturing costs; an excellent feature for cost-sensitive applications.
