Modern Servers, Modern Challenges

Servers play a vital role in the modern world. As cloud and edge-based technology become more ingrained in our lifestyle so does our reliance on dependable servers. With this comes further demand for robust protection mechanisms within servers, and companies worldwide are finding modern solutions to improve their system reliability.

Both consumer and enterprise servers find a reliable solution in GreenPAK, a customizable mixed-signal IC family. The server industry has applied GreenPAK to millions of products, including functions such as:

  • Power reset and sequencing
  • Connection detection and monitoring
  • Customized LED control
  • Glue Logic for faults and interrupts

GreenPAK has a simple appeal over processors and discrete ICs: creating a firmware solution takes time, and updates are more error-prone than static circuitry. Systems of discrete devices add board space and compound reliability concerns. With GreenPAK, an engineer creates a solution in minutes that eschews programming painpoints yet still uniquely fits their system.

Rightsize the Application

Each application is unique, and GreenPAK is built for customization. All these ICs contain a unique makeup of Macrocells to be configured. Smaller GreenPAKs are sensitive to board size, and larger GreenPAKs allow for greater integration and functionality.

Dialog is committed to helping you with product development. We offer a variety of support like applications notes, training videos, and a “Cookbook” of GreenPAK designs.
