CPU (PLC Controller)

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create efficient central processing unit (CPU) modules whether they are run by programmable logic controller (PLC) code, C code or by software on a high-level operating system. We have the ingredients to assess available performances, latencies, heat dissipation, reliability data and wiring protection.

Design requirements

CPU (PLC controller) systems often require:

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) edge processing, time-sensitive networking (TSN) and OPC Unified Architecture.
  • Scalable solutions for processing and industrial networking.
  • Functional-safety readiness, robustness and/or EMI/EMC resilience.

Input power protection

close

Over/under voltage, over current protection, miss-wire protection and inrush current protection might all be a part of the input power protection block. Traditionally this has been implemented with discrete components like diodes, fuses and positivite temperature coefficient thermistors (PTC). Increasing protection requirements as well as higher efficiency requirements makes e-fuse, hotswap and ideal diode solutions attractive.
