Pilot Wires and EVSEs The AFE032 transmit power amplifier operates from a
single supply in the range of 7 V to 24 V. At typical
load current (IOUT = 1.5 APEAK), a wide output swing
provides a 12-VPP capability with a nominal 15-V
supply.
The device is internally protected against
overtemperature and short-circuit conditions. The
device also provides a selectable current limit. An
interrupt output is provided, indicating current limit,
thermal limit, and undervoltage. A shutdown pin is
also available, and can be used to quickly place the
device into the lowest-power state. Each functional
block can be enabled or disabled to optimize power
dissipation through the serial peripheral interface
(SPI), DAC_NRF The AFE032 is housed in a thermally-enhanced,
surface-mount,
