3 Description

The DAC539G2-Q1 is an application-specific, lookup

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 for eliminating

glitches on these inputs. The look-up table values are

programmed using I2C or SPI and stored in the NVM.

The GPIs are multiplexed with the I2C and SPI. 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.

This device automatically detects I2C and SPI and

has an internal reference. The DAC539G2-Q1 is an

excellent choice for fault communication in automotive

stop and turn lights and similar industrial applications.
