DESCRIPTION
The AMC7891 is a highly-integrated, low-power,
complete analog monitoring and control system in a
very small package.
For monitoring functions, the AMC7891 has 8
uncommitted inputs multiplexed into a 10-bit SAR
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an accurate
on-chip temperature sensor. Control signals are
generated through four, independent, 10-bit
digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Additional digital
signal monitoring and control is accomplished through
twelve configurable GPIOs. An internal reference can
be used to drive the ADC and DACs.
Communication to the device is performed through a
versatile, four-wire serial interface compatible with
industry-standard microprocessors and
microcontrollers. The serial interface can operate at
clock rates up to 30 MHz, allowing quick access to
critical system data.
The device is characterized for operation over the
temperature range of –40ºC to 105ºC and is available
in a very small, 36-pin, 6-mm x 6-mm QFN package.
The AMC7891’s low power, small size and
high-integration make it an ideal low-cost, bias control
circuit for modern RF transistor modules such as the
power amplifiers (PA) and low-noise amplifiers (LNA)
found in RF communication systems. The AMC7891
feature set is similarly beneficial in general purpose
monitor and control systems.
For applications that require a different channel
count, additional features, or converter resolutions,
Texas Instruments offers a complete family of Analog
Monitor and Control (AMC) Products. See
