The future trend of development - customizable PMIC [Copy link]

Flexible and simplified programming processes enable designers to apply a single IC to a variety of use cases, helping manufacturers shorten time to market and reduce bill of materials costs, which is the goal that all IC manufacturers have been pursuing. Especially in today's situation of IC shortages caused by the epidemic, customizable ICs are becoming more and more popular.

As more and more battery-powered devices are used in our lives, and the requirements for battery-powered devices are getting higher and higher, the demand for customizable power management integrated circuits (PMICs) is imminent, and customizable PMICs will definitely be a major trend in future development. Today, let's introduce a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) to keep up with the pace of development.

Qorvo PMIC Details

Qorvo 's ActivePMIC family is the core of highly customizable and scalable power management IC solutions. As Qorvo's selected analog and mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) components, these PMICs are designed for small size and high energy efficiency applications. ActivePMIC solutions can be configured using I2C communication or a non-volatile configuration matrix to suit a variety of use cases.

ActivePMICs allow device manufacturers and system engineers to easily integrate power management functionality directly into their systems. In addition, these PMICs are always available and support fast reconfiguration at the operational level. With a simple firmware update, the same device can be used for multiple applications. This versatility is ideal for a wide range of applications in both wireless and wired fields.

Having said so much, let’s take a look at the PMIC structure block diagram below.

This PMIC features a one-button programming function that transfers default settings to the IC's non-volatile memory. The default configuration can be loaded and saved as needed.

Challenges and opportunities for Qorvo PMICs
