At the same time, in response to the energy consumption requirements of electronic terminal equipment , Qorvo also exhibited multi-time programmable PMIC and enterprise-level power-off protection (PLP) chip products . Among them, PMIC is an efficient and highly integrated power solution that can effectively perform power distribution in complex systems with multiple power rails . The PLP solution focuses more on protection functions. It is a power-off protection IC designed by Qorvo for low-voltage applications. It has high-voltage energy storage, hot-swap functions, and inrush current control . In addition, the chip also has autonomous health monitoring and multiple protection functions to meet the needs of electronic equipment that require efficient power management and protection.
Currently, IoT technology has been widely used in many industries and has become a key force in promoting modern technological innovation. Under this trend, Qorvo's connectivity and power technologies add a series of innovative possibilities to IoT applications, which can comprehensively improve the level of intelligence in home automation and industrial control.
In the innovation of Smart Home , Qorvo's patented ConcurrentConnect™ technology can take into account the seamless coexistence of Zigbee, BLE and Matter over Thread protocols , support the same set of hardware design to switch through software, and easily achieve multi-protocol support. This technology is not only applicable to traditional smart home products such as smart bulbs, door locks, and sensors, but can also be extended to new IoT devices such as smart gateway devices and smart speakers. For example, by adding the QPG7015M chip to the Wi-Fi main platform , the smart gateway device can use BLE to configure the Matter device , while supporting Zigbee devices and Matter over Thread devices , providing new possibilities for interaction between different ecosystems. In the future, Qorvo will also provide SoC products with larger storage space to support the development needs of richer Matter product applications.
At the same time, Qorvo also exhibited UWB (ultra-wideband) technology with advantages such as high-precision positioning, fast response and low energy consumption , which can unlock more innovative interaction methods and improve the intelligence level of home systems and industrial networking applications. UWB can provide centimeter-level ranging accuracy , single-chip-level high-precision AoA angle measurement , and human presence and breathing detection , and support gesture recognition, thus fully supporting the precise distance measurement and positioning needs in mobile phones, smart home devices and industrial Internet of Things scenarios.
In the field of industrial Internet of Things , Qorvo's Wi-Fi 7 technology also plays an important role. Wi-Fi 7 routers can meet the requirements of high speed , wide coverage and high throughput , providing strong network support for industrial Internet of Things. In response to the coexistence of Wi-Fi 7 frequency bands, Qorvo has developed BAW filters to effectively suppress the mutual interference between Wi-Fi and LTE . Qorvo's FEM products , with their excellent EVM indicators and miniaturized design , further improve the coverage and flexibility of equipment, making them very suitable for industrial applications such as smart sensors and actuators. Through these innovative products and technologies, Qorvo is helping the industrial field move towards a more efficient and smarter future.
Regarding the trend of industrial intelligent transformation , Qorvo demonstrated a wireless battery management system (BMS) demo . Through the wireless design , users can remotely monitor various indicators of the battery cell, including power, voltage, current and temperature, and promptly discover and deal with potential problems to reduce operating costs. Qorvo's BMS chip can accurately monitor and manage the battery status to ensure the safe operation of the equipment under various working conditions and the efficient use of the battery. In the future, Qorvo will launch BMS SoC products equipped with BLE to further expand the application scope and capabilities of wireless BMS.
Currently, the automotive industry is experiencing a trend change led by intelligence , electrification and interconnection . In this change, cars are no longer just a means of transportation, but are gradually evolving into a third space that integrates intelligence, comfort and fashion.

At the same time, in the vehicle radar system , it enhances the vehicle's perception of the surrounding environment and provides strong support for the development of driving assistance and autonomous driving technologies. These innovative applications not only improve the intelligence level of automobiles, but also increase automobile safety and convenience.
In addition, silicon carbide technology also plays an important role in improving the performance and functionality of new energy vehicles. As a new type of semiconductor material, silicon carbide has brought revolutionary changes to power electronic systems with its excellent physical properties, such as high breakdown electric field , high thermal conductivity , low resistivity , etc. The 1200V SiC module exhibited by Qorvo adopts a compact E1B package that can replace up to four discrete SiC FETs, thereby simplifying thermal mechanical design and assembly. In addition, these modules are equipped with a unique common source and common gate configuration to minimize on-resistance and switching losses, greatly improving energy conversion efficiency. These SiC modules can be widely used in electric vehicle designs to improve energy conversion efficiency and reduce heat dissipation requirements, thereby enhancing the charging efficiency and range of the vehicle.
Of course, to realize the full potential of SiC devices, powerful power design simulation tools are also needed. Qorvo 's QSPICE simulation software for analog and mixed-signal simulation was born. QSPICE is a new SPICE code with excellent SPICE technology basic functions, which realizes a new generation of mixed-mode circuit simulation. By improving simulation speed, function and reliability, it brings higher design efficiency to power and analog design .
