SBASAC2 – JUNE 2023
AFEx3902-Q1 Smart Analog Front End (AFE) for Multislope Thermal Foldback and
LUT-Based Control With I2C and SPI
1 Features
3 Description
•
AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications:
– Temperature grade 1: –40°C to +125°C, TA
Multislope thermal foldback
– 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input
– Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output
The 10-bit AFE53902-Q1 and 8-bit AFE43902-Q1
devices (AFEx3902-Q1) are dual-channel, smart
analog front ends (AFE) targeted for multislope
thermal foldback of LED lighting. The output of
LED lights reduce with an increase in temperature.
Multislope thermal foldback helps maintain a steady
light output from LEDs, irrespective of temperature
change, while limiting the LED temperature to
programmed thresholds.

10-bit (AFE53902-Q1)
8-bit (AFE43902-Q1)
– Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output with
7‑bit duty cycle
– Standalone operation from nonvolatile memory
(NVM)
– Look-up table (LUT) based parameter
configuration
– Piecewise-linearizer for thermistor
Automatically detects I2C or SPI
– 1.62-V VIH with VDD = 5.5 V
VREF/MODE pin selects between programming
and standalone modes
User-programmable NVM
Internal, external, or VDD reference
Wide operating range
The AFEx3902-Q1 have an ADC for temperature
input and a DAC or PWM generator as an output.
These devices have an integrated state machine that
is preprogrammed as a multislope thermal foldback
controller. The AFEx3902-Q1 are an excellent
choice for thermal foldback of automotive rear
lights and headlights, as well as horticulture lights.
The AFEx3902-Q1 work independently from the
parameters programed into the NVM, and thus enable
these smart AFEs for processor-less applications and
design reuse. These devices also automatically detect
I2C or SPI, and have an internal reference.
