Getting Started

This user manual provides information on using the AA PAK Evaluation Board.

Section 3 helps to familiarize the User with the development process by introducing the GreenPAK

product family and providing additional resources on obtaining the hardware, downloading the

software, and finding additional support from Renesas Electronics Corporation.

In Section 4, this document describes the evaluation board hardware by breaking down the board into

sections centered around key features such as the opamps, the rheostats, and the analog switches.

This section also explains some of the nuances for controlling the evaluation board using the

GreenPAK software interface.

Section 5 introduces a variety of common application example configurations for the evaluation board.

3.1

Hardware

The AA PAK Evaluation Board can be purchased from Renesas

’s webstore. A link to the store is

provided in Table 1. By default, the SLG47004 Evaluation Boards come populated with the BOM items

listed in Appendix A.

3.2

GreenPAK Development Tools and Designer Software

Although one can configure the SLG47004 with any I2C controller, we recommend using the GreenPAK

Designer software with either the GreenPAK Advanced Development Platform or the GreenPAK Serial

Debugger for initial evaluation. Renesas

’s development tools and software support platform provide

an easy-to-use and tested ecosystem for evaluating the functionality of the Advanced Analog

GreenPAK IC.

Table 1 contains links to the GreenPAK Designer software, the GreenPAK Development Tools

selector, and

Renesas’s webstore. Refer to Section 4.3 for more information on using the GreenPAK

Advanced Development Board and the GreenPAK Serial Debugger.

For more information on using your own I2C controller to interface with the SLG47004 on the AA

PAK’s

Evaluation Board, please refer to the I2C and NVM sections

of the SLG47004’s base die datasheet.

For additional support, please reach out to your local FAE or contact us on

Renesas’s customer support
