SLICE Concept

• SLICE

  • Each PCB performs a single function
  • This is referred to as a SLICE which stands for Single-function Logic Interface & Controller Element
  • It has at minimum some onboard controller (processing) and logic (communication) interface along with supporting circuitry (function)
  • Example: A temperature sensor PCB with an I2C capable MCU that reads temperature data and applies a control signal to a power switch.
