About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

AnalogPAK devices are part of Renesas’ GreenPAK™ Family of Programmable Mixed-Signal Matrix products: cost-effective, NVM programmable devices which enable innovators to integrate many system functions while minimizing component count, board space, and power consumption. GreenPAK and AnalogPAK ICs deliver functional replacement of mixed-signal standard products and stand-alone discrete circuits. They also provide reliable hardware supervisory functions for SoCs and microcontrollers. GreenPAK and AnalogPAK devices provide benefits for virtually any application, including consumer electronics, computing, white goods, industrial, communications, and automotive. Using Go Configure Software Hub and the GreenPAK Development Kit, designers can create and program a custom circuit in minutes.

New AnalogPAK SLG47011 –Low Power Device with 14-bit SAR ADC

Renesas’ new SLG47011 AnalogPAK device delivers a new level of performance for configurable analog integrated circuits. It includes a rich set of digital and analog features including programable multichannel 14-bit SAR ADC with Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA). The SLG47011 also has flexible, user-defined power saving modes for all macrocells that enable designers to switch off some blocks in sleep mode and therefore reduce power consumption to the µA level.

The SLG47011 can be used to extend the performance of, or to offload an MCUs. It can also be used in conjunction with an MCU to replace a complex analog front-end (AFE). Key functions supported by the SLG47011 include measurement, data processing, logic control and data output.

Key Paraments of SLG47011

  • Vdd = 1.71 to 3.6 V
  • SAR ADC: up to 14-bit, up to 2.35 Msps in 8-bit mode
  • PGA: six amplifier configurations, rail-to-rail input/output, 1x - 64x gain
  • DAC: 12 bit, 333 ksps
  • Hardware Math block for multiplication, addition, subtraction and division operations
  • Flexible 4096 words Memory table block
  • Oscillators: 2/10 kHz and 20/40 MHz
  • Analog temperature sensor
  • Highest number of highly configurable Counter/Delay blocks
  • I2C and SPI communication interfaces
  • Available in a tiny 16-pin QFN 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm x 0.55 mm, 0.4 mm pitch package

“We have shipped billions of GreenPAK and AnalogPAK devices to thousands of customers around the world,” said Davin Lee, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Analog and Connectivity Group at Renesas. “We have been asked to provide even more resources along with higher resolution analog functionality, and we have answered both of these requests with the SLG47011 device. We are eager to see this product appear in a multitude of products and applications.”

In addition to the SLG47011, Renesas is introducing two other AnalogPAK devices, the cost-optimized SLG47001/3, and the automotive-qualified SLG47004-A.
