Microsemi’s comprehensive MPM 4.0 power management solution includes a graphical user interface that simplifies the visualization of the power sequencing and margining that occurs in complex high availability systems. In addition, trimming, event logging and alarm generation are supported. MPM 4.0 also includes a reference design containing all sources files and firmware, allowing customers to customize products and support a mix of power rails.
An evaluation kit to accelerate initial design testing and experimentation is also offered. The kit includes Microsemi’s SEU-immune SmartFusion cSoC, which is offered in standard or military temperatures in a variety of packages. SmartFusion devices include an integrated FPGA, an ARM Cortex™-M3 processor, and programmable analog in a single device. The kit also includes Microsemi’s NX9415 3.3 V and LX9610 1.5 V nominal regulators. Additional features include: support for up to 64 channels, both analog and digital POL support, PMBus support for digital POL, and margining and trimming for analog POL.
