Key Features
Configurable Ports: Each of the 20 ports can be configured as an ADC analog input, a DAC analog output, a general-purpose input (GPI), a general-purpose output (GPO), or an analog switch terminal.
Temperature Sensing: Includes one internal and two external temperature sensors to track junction and environmental temperatures.
Flexible Voltage Ranges: Each port is individually configurable with up to four selectable voltage ranges within -10V to +10V.
Logic-Level Translation and Analog Switches: Adjacent pairs of ports can be configured as logic-level translators for open-drain devices or as analog switches.
Averaging Capability: Allows for the averaging of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 ADC samples to improve noise performance.
High-Current Output: DAC-configured output ports can drive up to 25mA.
Programmable GPIO: GPIO ports can be programmed to user-defined logic levels.
Serial Interface: Uses a 4-wire, 20MHz, SPI-compatible serial interface for communication with the host.
