Datasheet

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 sig-
nals 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 trans-
ceiver 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 oper-
ate completely independently of the core and significantly
relieve core overhead. A dual multiply/accumulate (MAC)
is included to minimize interrupt service timing/design
complexity. Ten 16-bit PWM channels are included to pro-
vide an unprecedented level of precision in digital power-
control applications.
The DS4830A provides a complete optical control, cali-
bration, and monitor solution compatible with SFF-8472.
Additional resources include a fast/accurate ADC, fast
comparators with an internal comparison digital-to-analog
converter (DAC), eight independent 12-bit DACs, an
accurate internal temperature sensor, two fast sample/
holds with various programmable options, and a multi-
protocol serial master/slave interface. An independent,
400kHz-compliant, slave I
2
C interface with four configu-
rable slave addresses facilitates communication to a host,
in addition to password-protected in-system programming
of the on-chip flash.
Extensive design-in and applications support are available,
including comprehensive user’s and programmer’s guides,
complete reference designs with documented code, and
in-depth application notes showing numerous code exam-
ples in both C and assembly language. Firmware develop-
ment is supported by third-party vendors.
