Description
The MCP16502 is an optimally integrated PMIC,
compatible with Microchip’s EMPUs (Embedded Micro-
processor Units), requiring Dynamic Voltage Scaling
(DVS) with the use of High-Performance mode (HPM).
It is compatible with SAMA5DX and SAM9X6 MPUs,
which are supported by dedicated device variants that
optimize the solution BOM.
The MCP16502 integrates four DC-DC Buck regulators
and two auxiliary LDOs, and provides a comprehensive
interface to the MPU, which includes an interrupt flag
and a 1 MHz I
2
C interface.
All Buck channels can support loads up to 1A and are
100% duty cycle-capable.
Two 300 mA LDOs are provided such that sensitive
analog loads can be supported.
The DDR memory voltage (Buck2 output) is selectable
by means of a 3-state input pin. This method allows
greater precision in the output voltage setting by elimi-
nating inaccuracies due to external feedback resistors,
while minimizing external component count. The
voltage selection set allows easy migration across
different generations of memory.
The default power channel sequencing is built-in
according to the requirements of the MPU. A dedicated
pin (LPM) facilitates the transition to Low-Power modes
and the implementation of Backup mode with DDR in
self-refresh (Hibernate mode).
The MCP16502 features a low no-load operational
quiescent current and it draws less than 10 µA in full
shutdown.
Active discharge resistors are provided on each output.
All Buck channels support safe start-up into pre-biased
outputs.
The MCP16502 is available in a 32-pin 5 mm x 5 mm
VQFN package with an operating junction temperature
range from -40°C to +125°C.
