AD5755
On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power
dissipation in current mode. This is achieved by regulating the
voltage on the output driver from 7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to-
dc boost converter optimized for minimum on chip power
dissipation.
The part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with standard
SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, DSP, and microcontroller inter-
face standards. The interface also features optional CRC-8
packet error checking, as well as a watchdog timer that
monitors activity on the interface.
