3 Description

The 16-bit AFE882H1 and 14-bit AFE782H1

(AFEx82H1) are highly-integrated, high-accuracy,

extremely low-power DACs with voltage-outputs

designed for HART-enabled process control and

industrial automation applications.

The AFEx82H1 devices include most of the

components required to design a 4?mA to 20?mA,

3?wire or 4-wire sensor transmitter or analog output

module. In addition to the highly accurate DAC, these

devices include a HART?-compliant FSK modem, 10-

ppm/°C voltage reference, and diagnostic analog-todigital

converter (ADC). To accommodate intrinsic and

functional safety concerns, external voltage-to-current

conversion and power-regulation are required.

The internal diagnostic ADC is multiplexed to

several internal nodes that enable an automatic selfhealth

check. This check is capable of detecting

errors or malfunctions of the internal bias sources,

power regulator, voltage reference, DAC output, die

temperature, and optional external voltage source. If

any fault is detected from the diagnostic ADC, CRC

frame-error checking, or windowed watchdog timer,

the devices can optionally issue an interrupt, enter a

user-specified fail-safe state, or both.
