NAFE73388B40BSK

Analog Front End (AFE) Overview

The NAFE73388B40BSK is a universal ±25 V, 8-input high-speed analog front-end (AFE) with integrated excitation sources. It features a 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC supporting data rates from 15 SPS to 576 kSPS. The device includes low-leakage high-voltage multiplexers, programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), and precise voltage/current excitation sources for sensors like RTDs. Key specifications include 0.005% FS accuracy after calibration, simultaneous 50/60 Hz line rejection, and robust input protection against surges up to ±36 V. It operates on HV supplies of ±7 V to ±24 V and LV supply of 3.3 V within an industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Analog Front End (AFE) Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering part number NAFE73388B40BSK corresponds to the specific packaging requirement. The B40BS suffix indicates the HVQFN64 package. Confirm if the MP (Reel) or E/K (Tray) variant is needed based on assembly equipment capabilities. Ensure the selected variant meets the required minimum order quantity constraints for the production run.

Analog Front End (AFE) Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed sampling combined with high precision is required for multi-channel industrial signals. The NAFE73388 is suitable for applications needing simultaneous 50/60 Hz line rejection and extensive diagnostic capabilities. Compare with NAFE13388 if lower power consumption is prioritized over maximum speed, as both share pin compatibility.

Analog Front End (AFE) Part Context

The NAFE73388 belongs to the NXP NAFExx388 family of highly configurable industrial AFEs. This family offers software and pin-to-pin compatibility across members like NAFE13388 and NAFE71388, allowing design scalability. The NAFE73388 specifically targets high-speed applications within this portfolio, distinguishing itself through its optimized data rate performance while maintaining the universal input architecture.

Analog Front End (AFE) Replacement Considerations

NAFE13388B40BSK is a pin-compatible alternative offering low-power operation instead of high-speed performance. Both devices share the same package and interface but differ in maximum data rate capabilities. Verify that the system timing requirements can accommodate the lower speed of the replacement part.
