GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7294 contains all the functions required for general-
purpose monitoring and control of current, voltage, and
temperature integrated into a single-chip solution. The device
includes low voltage ( 200 mV) analog input sense amplifiers
for current monitoring across shunt resistors, temperature sense
inputs, and four uncommitted analog input channels multiplexed
into a SAR analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 3 μs conver-
sion time. A high accuracy internal reference is provided to drive
both the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and ADC. Four 12-bit
DACs provide the outputs for voltage control. The AD7294 also
includes limit registers for alarm functions. The device is designed
on Analog Devices, Inc., high voltage DMOS process for high
voltage compliance, 59.4 V on the current sense inputs, and up
to a 15 V DAC output voltage.

The AD7294 is a highly integrated solution that offers all the
functionality necessary for precise control of the power amplifier
in cellular base station applications. In these types of applications,
the DACs provide 12-bit resolution to control the bias currents
of the power transistors. Thermal diode-based temperature sensors
are incorporated to compensate for temperature effects. The ADC
monitors the high-side current and temperature. All this function-
ality is provided in a 64-lead TQFP or a 56-lead LFCSP operating
over a temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
