PMICs for Edge Computing and IoT Applications

High-Performance PMICs for Edge Computing


There has been an exponential increase in the computational power needed for data gathering, processing, communication and running complex security algorithms. All these requirements, when combined with the shrinking size of end electronics, present us with a unique challenge.

Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) offer these key benefits:

  • Improved battery life: Low-quiescent-current, high-efficiency PMICs with multi-mode operation, Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) (MCP16502), leakage-free and robust interfacing to a 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 and SAM9X60 series of MPUs, including the System-in-Packages (SiPs)
