Renesas Launches SLG47004 Programmable Mixed-Signal IC for Enhanced Sensor Interfaces
Tokyo, Friday, 20 December 2024.
Renesas introduces the SLG47004, a versatile mixed-signal IC with advanced programmability, designed to streamline sensor applications and improve circuit efficiency in European markets.
Advanced Features and Specifications
Released on December 19, 2024, the SLG47004 represents a significant advancement in programmable mixed-signal technology [1]. The device combines operational amplifiers, digital rheostats, and EEPROM in a compact 3mm x 3mm package [1]. Operating across a voltage range of 2.5V (±4%) to 5V (±10%), the IC maintains functionality across temperatures from -40°C to 85°C [1]. A standout feature is the user-defined Auto-Trim capability, which enables periodic rheostat value adjustments to compensate for system errors or reconfigure circuit parameters dynamically [1].
Integration and Connectivity
The SLG47004’s architecture includes two general-purpose operational amplifiers, two 10-bit digital rheostats, and three analog comparators [1]. These components are complemented by various oscillators and macrocells, creating a versatile platform for analog front-end applications [1]. The IC’s in-system programmability and event-triggered memory self-programming capabilities make it particularly suitable for adaptive sensor interfaces and configurable amplifier applications [1].
Market Position and Applications
This release strengthens Renesas’s position in the programmable mixed-signal market [5]. The device targets a broad spectrum of applications, particularly excelling in sensor interfaces, ADC analog front-ends, and tunable filters [1]. Its compact form factor and advanced integration capabilities make it especially valuable for space-constrained designs requiring sophisticated analog processing [1][5]. Development support includes a comprehensive evaluation kit (SLG47004V-SKT) featuring a socket adapter and samples for prototyping basic analog configurations [1].
Development Support and Ecosystem
Engineers can leverage extensive development tools and resources for the SLG47004, including detailed ECAD models and comprehensive documentation [1]. The device’s RoHS compliance and halogen-free status [1] align with current environmental standards, making it suitable for sustainable electronics design. This release represents Renesas’s commitment to providing flexible, highly integrated solutions for the evolving needs of electronic design [5].
