Component building blocks

Functional blocks for selection; device connections and component values depend on your design.

FUNCTION / 01

Auxiliary power rails

Generate local controller and analog rails with step-down conversion and LDO regulation. Match the input range and current to the rail.

FUNCTION / 02

Supply supervision

Monitor a local rail and provide reset supervision for the controller. Select the required threshold variant.

FUNCTION / 03

Temperature monitoring

Read equipment temperature using the handbook-listed temperature sensor. Verify the sensing arrangement and interface in the device documentation.

FUNCTION / 04

Wired equipment interfaces

Provide RS-485 or isolated RS-422/RS-485 communication between equipment controllers.
