Optimize battery life, save space and easily integrate power management in your compact mobile device or other embedded system. Our Power Management ICs (PMICs) combine multiple functions into a single device to reduce the component count and board space needed to easily and cost-effectively manage power in devices that are developed for the Internet of Things (IoT), consumer, medical, industrial, automotive and many other applications.
If you need an even more highly integrated solution, we offer a System-on-Module (SOM) that combines a PMIC with an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU), along with other devices, to simplify your development and speed your time to market.
Benefits of PMIC Products
- Optimize battery life: Multimode, high-efficiency, low quiescent current regulators reduce power consumption in portable devices
- Create compact designs: Small devices include multiple integrated regulators, interfacing, power sequencing logic and fault detection in a single IC to save board space
- Easily integrate power management in embedded systems: Power management solutions are excellent companions for microprocessor-based applications
Powering the Edge With the MCP16501 and MCP16502 PMICs
With the next generation of devices catering to edge technologies, the computational power needed for data gathering, processing, communication and running complex security algorithms is exponentially rising. All these requirements, when combined with the shrinking size of end electronics, present us with a unique challenge.
How Do the MCP16501 and MCP16502 PMICs Solve This Challenge?
- Improved Battery Life: Low quiescent current, high-efficiency PMICs with multimode operation, Dynamic Voltage Scaling (MCP16502), leakage-free and robust interfacing to microprocessor (MPU)
- Reduced Solution Size: Optimal feature integration, built-in power supply sequencing
- Faster Time to Market: Pin-selectable DDR voltage supports all memory configurations of the SAMA5, SAM9X60 series of MPUs, including the System-in-Packages (SiPs)
