Analog devices is aiming at industrial control with a four-channel I-O integrated circuit. Control is though a four-wire digital interface to a host controller that clocks at up to 24MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire and other protocols. Each of the four channels on the other side of the chip can be software-configures as: ...
