DS4830A
Optical Microcontroller
General Description
The DS4830A is a low-power, 16-bit microcontroller with a unique peripheral set supporting optical applications that require high-resolution conversion of many analog signals and digital signal processing (DSP) of those signals, high-speed data communication to an external host, and ultra-low power dissipation. A wide variety of optical transceiver controller applications is supported without need of external circuitry, thereby minimizing cost and PCB area.
Power dissipation and throughput are optimized through the use of a programmable round-robin analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and 10-bit fast comparator, which operate completely independently of the core and significantly relieve core overhead.
