Farnell offers an exclusive range of sophisticated PMICs to meet demanding power requirements across diverse applications. Modern PMICs often feature programmable power rails, dynamic voltage scaling, and intelligent power sequencing capabilities. They support various input sources and provide protection features like overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal shutdown protection.
Multi-Function Power Management ICs (PMICs) integrate multiple voltage regulators and control circuits into a single chip and make an excellent option for implementing complete power supply solutions. They reduce component count and board space while easily managing system power. These affordable integrated circuits streamline circuit design and perform various functions related to the power requirements of a host system.
PMICs efficiently handle various power-related tasks, including voltage regulation, battery charging, power sequencing, and system monitoring. PMICs are an excellent fit for embedded processing in a wide range of applications such as IoT, Edge Computing medical and Industrial IoT, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles. They are particularly crucial in portable devices, consumer electronics, and IoT applications where space and power efficiency are paramount.
Key benefits of multi-function PMICs include simplified power management in complex embedded systems, optimal power consumption, and improved system reliability. These ICs reduce time to market as they eliminate the need for separate discrete components by integrating multiple functions. Such integration also leads to affordable and compact designs.
