Integrated Power Management for Embedded Processors and Subsystems with Multiple Power Rails

Embedded and application processors and other components in complex systems require multiple power rails and multiple power domains. Using discrete devices for power management in these types of systems can be costly. Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs), which integrate multiple voltage regulators and control circuits into a single chip, are excellent options for implementing complete power supply solutions. They reduce component count and board space while easily and cost effectively managing system power. 

PMICs are an excellent fit for embedded processing in a wide range of applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, medical and Industrial IoT, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles. We also offer System on Modules (SOMs) that combine a PMIC with an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU), along with other devices, to simplify your development and speed up your time to market.

PMIC Features and Benefits

Benefits Product Features

Faster Time to Market With All Required Voltage Rails

 Faster Time to Market With All Required Voltage Rails Meets the needs of high-performance MPU and FPGA applications and integrate up to eight 1.5A buck converters that can be paralleled, four 300 mA internal Low Dropout Voltage (LDO) regulators, and a controller to drive external MOSFETs.

Reduced Solution Size, Cost and Risk due to Integration

Reduced Solution Size, Cost and Risk Due to Integration Offers up to a 48% area reduction with less than 60% of the component count of a discrete solution and is available in a small form factor of VQFN package, which offers a compact and robust solution for space-constrained applications.
Increased Flexibility and Reliability

Ability to dynamically change Vout levels for all converters in 12.5 mV/25 mV increments, which facilitates fine-tune power delivery to meet specific application requirements and enhances overall system efficiency and performance.
