SA5775ADifferential air-core meter driver
DESCRIPTION
The SA5775A is a monolithic driver for controlling air-core (or
differential) meters typically used in automotive instrument cluster
applications. The circuit interfaces with a microprocessor through a
serial bus and directly drives the air-core meter. The SA5775A has
10-bit resolution (0.35 degree) and is guaranteed to be monotonic.
Data can be shifted through the part, allowing several SA5775As to
be cascaded with only one chip-select line. On-chip current shut
down logic protects the circuit from external faults.
FEATURES
•10-Bit resolution (0.35 degrees)
•Exceptional accuracy (0.25 degrees, typical)
•High-torque capability
•Active differential drivers eliminate back-EMF issues
•No RFI/EMI generation issues
•Simple serial interface
•Simple cascading capability for multiple meters
•Internal fault protection
•Only one external component required (bypass capacitor)
APPLICATION
•Instrumentation utilizing air-core meters
