RT9941
Power Management ICs for Handheld Device
General Description
The RT9941 is a complete power management IC (PMIC)
for handheld device platform. This PMIC contains a fully
integrated linear charger for a single cell Lithium Ion battery,
five LDO linear regulators and two high efficiency buck
converters, a comparator, a reset and an I
2
C serial interface
to program one buck and one regulator output voltages as
well as power on timing control for complete flexibility.
The linear charger integrates LDO, MOSFET pass element
and thermal-regulation circuitry. The proprietary thermal-
regulation circuitry limits the die temperature when fast
charging or while exposed to high ambient temperatures,
allowing maximum charging current without damaging the
IC.
The two step-down converters are optimized for small size
inductor and high efficiency applications. They utilize a
proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that switches
with nearly fixed frequency and is adjustable, allowing the
customer to trade some efficiency for smaller external
component as desired.
The LDO linear regulators provide high power supply
rejection rate and have only 45μV
RMS
of output noises for
100Hz to 10kHz frequency range to power noise sensitive
RF sections.
The RT9941 is
available
in WQFN-40L 5x5 package.
