Overview

When creating this tool, Renesas focused on designing a flexible solution to support the evaluation of

a variety of circuit applications. Refer to Section 5 for a few examples. Strategic connections have been

provided via the boards layout to integrate many of the

SLG47004’s key macrocells into one system.

Note that this board has not been optimized to evaluate the performance of layout-dependent systems.

Figure 1 shows an image of the SLG47004 Evaluation Board with all components placed on the board.

In most scenarios, customers will receive the Evaluation Boards populated only with the BOM items

listed in Appendix A. This allows the customer to configure the circuit to fit the desired application.

Power Supply

Power can be applied to the evaluation board using the following sources:

• GreenPAK ADB - leverages the onboard power supply built into the GreenPAK Advanced

Development platform to deliver up to 5.5 V. For more information, refer to the GreenPAK ADB's

user guide found in Section 2.

• GreenPAK Serial Debugger - an LDO-regulated power supply ranging from 0.9 V to 5.0 V at a

maximum current of 100 mA. Refer to Section 2 for the GSD's quick start guide.

• External Power Supply & "PX#" Test Points - connection headers for using an external power

supply ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The P1 connection header includes an LC filter designed to

isolate the analog and digital voltage rails for optimized noise performance.
