The X96010 is a highly integrated bias controller which incorporates two digitally controlled Programmable Current Generators and temperature compensation with dedicated look-up tables. All functions of the device are controlled via a 2-wire digital serial interface. Two temperature compensated Programmable Current Generators, vary the output current with temperature according to the contents of the associated nonvolatile look-up table. The look-up table may be programmed with arbitrary data by the user via the 2wire serial port, and an external temperature sensor may be used to control the output current response.
