Today's mid- to high-end programmable logic controller (PLC) solutions implement powerful FPGAs or SoCs to enable state-of-the-art industrial automation equipment. Therefore, to fulfill the required power sequencing of such demanding components, a flexible setup based on a general-purpose microcontroller and discrete DC/DC regulators (with integrated power MOSFETs) enable an ultimate scalable power sequencing solution for a broad range of FPGA and SoC applications, while maintaining ease of use and low risk of failures during implementation.
System Benefits:
Renesas' Lab on the Cloud is an online environment where Renesas solutions, including popular evaluation boards, winning combinations and software, are hosted in a remote lab that customers access and test online.
This reference design allows users to perform two functions, a power-up sequence and a power-down sequence, using the GUI targeted for their specific application.
Renesas' complementary product portfolios of Analog + Power + Embedded Processing + Connectivity work together to deliver comprehensive solutions. Our product experts have developed "Winning Combinations," compelling product combinations that help our customers accelerate their designs and get to market faster.
