L6362A

L6362A is an interface-drivers, receivers and transceivers dedicated IC designed by STMicroelectronics.

The IC features a prescaler that provides a suitable oscillator frequency to clock an internal Logic Block and a dedicated oscillator for generating higher frequencies for set-point Management.

The L6362A is used for various applications in which a standard low frequency oscillator can be used to drive an external circuit, such as a display driver, an OSD controller, a PWM controller or a high-speed logic block. It also includes an output driver with enhanced data rates up to 25 mbps.

The L6362A consists of three main parts, which are the analog part, the digital part and the I/O signals. The analog section consists of a voltage reference, voltage buffer and output driver. The reference buffer operates in a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The output driver contains a unity-gain buffer with a typical bandwidth of 4kHz. This driver is designed to provide low-power operation and high noise immunity in a typical application.

The digital section of the L6362A contains a prescaler and a 16-bit shift-register with a data rate of up to 25 Mbps, This section is used to generate a clock on the outputs to drive external logic blocks, as well as providing set-point management. The I/O signals of the L6362A consist of five I/Os (R1, R2, D, B1 and B2), that are all connected to the inputs by a three-pole connector.

The working principle of the L6362A is quite simple: the voltage reference is used to provide a stable voltage for the application. The output driver is used to generate the clock signal to drive external logic blocks. The prescaler is used to control the transceiver to generate the clock frequency to drive the logic block. The data rate is provided by the 16-bit shift register. The I/O signals of the L6362A are used to control the input and output signals, as well as to transmit data and control the set-point.

In addition, the L6362A features an adjustable code rate and performant data error detection and correction algorithms, which enable the IC to support in high reliability and long-range wireless communication systems. STMicroelectronics also provides evaluation boards for design engineers to experiment and tune their solutions with the L6362A.

In conclusion, the L6362A is an interface-drivers, receivers and transceivers IC present and developed by STMicroelectronics as a reliable and low power device suitable for a variety of applications. It features an adjustable code rate and performant data error detection and correction algorithms, which enable it to be used in a reliable and long-range wireless communication systems.
