Qorvo® Launches Two High-Performance PMICs for Data Center, Cloud Storage and Computing Applications
Complete solutions combine Power Management IC and Power Loss Protection capabilities in compact packaging
Qorvo® introduced two products that significantly advance the state of power management in enterprise and cloud computing systems. The power management ICs (PMICs) are highly integrated and programmable, solving size challenges and providing system designers with industry-leading flexibility and control. They can be pre-programmed during manufacture to suit different system requirements and further optimized in the field using firmware via the I2C bus.
Power Management IC & Power Loss Protection Solutions for Enterprise and Cloud Computing
The Qorvo ACT85610 PMIC is the only product on the market with a monolithic, compact design that combines high-performance power loss protection (PLP) and programmable power management in a single chip.
- eFuse, buck regulators and boost regulator FETs are integrated
- covers 3.3V, 5V & 12V power inputs
- 7 programmable general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs)
- Integrated 8-channel, 12-bit ADC enables critical system parameter measurement and monitoring
- Autonomous storage capacitor health checking and capacitance reading
The Qorvo ACT86600 PMIC integrates high-current and high-efficiency regulators.
- 5 Step-down regulators
- Buck-boost regulator
- 7 programmable GPIOs
- High-current regulators can be optionally configured as a single two-phase regulator with twice the current, to support up to 12A of DC current.
In particular, the single-chip combination of PLP with power management creates a game-changing device that maximizes efficiency and reliability, and provides the highest levels of integration, configurability and flexibility in enterprise applications.“
