In summary, Renesas' simple digital power modules provide reliable power for FPGAs, ASICs, DSPs, and microprocessors. They leverage the advantages of a digitally-controlled power supply while eliminating the need to store operating parameters in non-volatile memory. Configuration is instead performed through pin-strap resistor selection, while a PMBus interface is also available for run-time configuration and telemetry. The unprecedented ease of design with a real-time system monitoring capability and control via the industry-standard PMBus interface makes the simple digital module a unique solution. Full power supply telemetry, including output voltage, output current, fault status, and thermal management is supported, which improves reliability and system uptime. Customers can utilize the PMBus interface to validate their designs without the inconvenience of switching passives (resistors and capacitors) every time a functionality needs to be adjusted or modified, reducing the development time and overall cost of implementation.
