A flexible, streamlined programming flow enables designers to apply a single IC to a variety of use cases, helping manufacturers reduce time to market and bill of materials costs.

Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are critical components in a wide range of devices, including smart watches, thermostats, headphones, tablets, SSDs, battery chargers, video cameras, and more. Qorvo's customizable PMICs offer system designers an alternative to conventional power devices while providing the agility and design flexibility to adapt to a variety of applications and a wide range of market needs.

It seems that power management integrated circuits (PMIC) are still very popular. Let’s take a look at the PMIC market survey results.

High demand for battery-powered devices, fast-paced technological advancements, and the popularity of new semiconductor applications have led to a surge in the use of power management integrated circuits (PMICs). Market Research Future predicts that the PMIC market will reach $46.15 billion by 2025. PMIC components can provide fully integrated high-performance solutions for many consumer electronics, telecommunications, networking, automotive and other applications. System designers can use PMICs to optimize power management, prevent overvoltage or overcurrent faults, implement human-machine interfaces, manage battery life and charging, and perform many other control functions for mechanical, electromechanical and electronic devices.

Consumer electronic devices have driven the global PMIC demand since 2015, with wearable devices accounting for the largest share. PMICs provide a solution for consumer product manufacturers to produce low-cost devices with high system performance. PMICs are rapidly replacing traditional discrete solutions, including regulators and control circuits, enabling compact device designs with excellent power efficiency.
