GreenPAK with In-System Programmability

The SLG46826 and the SLG46824 are the market’s first GreenPAK ICs that support in-system programming using a simple I²C serial interface. This streamlines the development process as it allows the installation of an un-programmed GreenPAK on the PCB, and supports programming of the non-volatile memory (NVM) in-system, for easy system checkout. This flexibility is also beneficial in the production environment, as it is easy to modify the configuration or add functionality to these devices by programming the non-volatile memory on the production line. The NVM on this device is specified for 1,000 erase/write cycles. Additionally, the SLG46826 includes 2kbit of EEPROM emulation memory that can replace an I²C-compatible serial EEPROM on the customer’s board, supporting storage of backup configuration data, a checksum or a serial number.
