2 General Description
The MLX10420 is a µP peripheral for air-core meters control using SIN/COS PWM mands. The circuit controls two independent sets of CMOS power bridges. A ten bit angle is displayed with 9 bits per quadrant. The PWM frequency is set by an on chip oscillator. A power-on self test detects open or short-circuits outputs for each air-core meter and a real time angle tracking avoids display errors. The chip can also drive one small angle air-core meters (90° ). The munication with the µP is done via a three wires serial link. The chip outputs an error status on a special pin.
