Silego intros GreenPAK micro-FPGA with programmable analog

SANTA CLARA, USA: Silego Technology Inc. has announced the GreenPAK. GreenPAK is a 2x2 mm TDFN one-time programmable micro-FPGA with configurable analog components.

GreenPAK (logic and analog) has been designed to operate as a stand alone IC capable of performing many 4-bit and 8-bit microcontroller applications or work in conjunction with Silego’s GreenCLK (timing) and GreenFET drivers (power sequencing) product lines to remove up to 25% of all components on larger computation and communication system boards.

GreenPAKs are configured with GreenPAK Designer 1.0 software and a USB-based GreenPAK programmer. The software is intuitive and its configuration requires no programming language or complier allowing a designer to configure, program, and test their custom GreenPAK in minutes.

GreenPAK, as a stand alone product, is targeted at many 4 and 8-bit microcontroller applications. The on-board finite state machine, logic, counters, delays, ADC, voltage reference, oscillator, and PWM allow for 1000’s of applications such as interface to sensors of all types, LED drivers, motor controllers, touch sensing, and over voltage protection.

GreenPAK is also the logic and mixed signal element of Silego’s Green product strategy for large computation and communication system boards. GreenPAKs remove power on resets, temperature sensor interface ICs, delay or timing related logic, glue logic, and power good circuits.

“Silego’s GreenPAK products are the first ICs that are able to cost effectively remove massive numbers of passive and simple active components from PCB designs improving reliability and reducing procurement issues while saving board area, power, and cost,” said John McDonald, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Silego.

“The success of the GreenPAK and its sibling, the GreenSAK product family, contributes to Silego’s vision of providing a comprehensive suite of ICs that clean up every PCB by reducing component count, simplifying design, and saving power and board space.”

Silego provides many options to learn about GreenPAK through live video web support 16 hour per day, training videos, software, or by scheduling one-on-one training session with a Silego application engineer to assist with GreenPAK development.

GreenPAK products are in volume production. They are priced from $0.15 to $0.25 in moderate volume. Please contact Silego for ultra-high volume pricing.
