L-ASC10-1SG48I is a programmable hardware management expander sensor controller (Power, Thermal, and Control Plane Management) Expander designed to be used with Platform Manager™ 2, MachXO2™, MachXO3, or ECP5™ FPGAs to implement the Hardware Management Control function in a circuit board. The L-ASC10 (referred to as ASC) enables seamless scaling of power supply voltage and current monitoring, temperature monitoring, sequence and margin control channels. The ASC includes dedicated interfaces supporting the exchange of monitor signal status and output control signals with these centralized hardware management controllers. Up to eight ASC devices can be used to implement a hardware management system. Applications include telecommunication and networking, industrial, test and measurement, medical systems, servers and storage systems, high reliability systems.
