PIM082 - Application Field and Working Principle

The PIM082 is a member of the Renesas Synergy™ Platform family, which provides a comprehensive development platform designed for embedded applications. The PIM082 is an eight-channel expansion board for use with S7G2 MCUs. It features a USB 3.0 port, two Ethernet ports, two CAN ports, five serial ports, and one I2C port.

The board features three microcontrollers (MCUs) to drive the peripheral interfaces, two CAN transceiver controllers, and one feed-forward power regulator. It can be used for communication interfaces and low-power peripheral applications.

The board also provides an RS-485 interface, 1-wire interface, PWM outputs, and a complete reference measurement system, allowing users to build low-power, connected devices with advanced, time-saving features. Additionally, the board and accompanying software tools enable users to quickly start and test their designs for time-saving configurations.

Application field

The PIM082 is used primarily for building low-power, connected devices including smart sensors, wearables, home and industrial automation, agricultural sensing and tracking, remote asset management, and medical equipment. It is also used for communication interfaces such as CAN, Ethernet, RS-485, I2C, and USB 3.0.

Working Principle

The PIM082 works by providing a number of peripheral interfaces that can be connected to other hardware and software components. The board enables users to add features to their designs quickly and easily. It has an MCU, transceiver controllers, and a power regulator with a connector to allow connection to an external power supply. Additionally, the board provides GPIO, UART, 1-Wire, and PWM ports.

The board uses the MCUs to drive the peripheral interfaces, allowing users to quickly start and test their designs using the accompanying software tools. The board also features a measurement system, which can be configured to measure battery voltage, temperature, pressure, humidity, position, or any other value that is required by the application. The measurement system allows users to easily monitor and control various parameters.

The USB 3.0 port supports fast data transfer rates, which allows users to quickly transfer data or transfer data from external devices. Additionally, the board can be used with other boards in the Synergy Platform family, providing connection to other subsystems or components. The PIM082 also offers several power management options to help users to save energy.
