General Description
The MIC7401 is a powerful, highly-integrated,
configurable, power-management IC (PMIC) featuring
five synchronous buck regulators, one boost regulator,
and high-speed I
2
C interface with an internal
EEPROM.
The device offers two distinct modes of operation,
Standby mode and Normal mode, intended to provide
an energy optimized solution suitable for portable
hand-held and infotainment applications.
In Normal mode, the programmable switching
converters can be configured to support a variety of
features, including start-up sequencing, timing,
soft-start ramp, output voltage levels, current-limit
levels, and output discharge for each channel.
In Standby mode, the PMIC can be configured in a low
power state by either disabling an output or by
changing the output voltage to a lower level.
Independent exit from Standby mode can be achieved
either by I
2
C communication or the external STBY pin.
The device has five synchronous buck regulators with
high-speed adaptive on-time control supporting even
the challenging ultra-fast transient requirement for core
supplies. The one boost regulator provides a Flash
memory programming supply that delivers up to
200 mA of output current. The boost is equipped with
an output disconnect switch that opens if a
short-to-ground fault is detected.
An internal EEPROM enables a single-chip solution
across many platforms by allowing the designer to
customize the PMIC for their design. Modifications can
be made without the need to re-approve a new PMIC,
saving valuable design resources and time.
All switchers provide light-load efficiency with
HyperLight Load
®
mode for buck and PFM mode for
boost. An additional benefit of this proprietary
architecture is very low output ripple voltage throughout
the entire load range with the use of small output
capacitors. The MIC7401 is designed for use with small
inductors (down to 0.47 µH for buck, 1.5 µH for boost),
and an output capacitor as small as 10 µF for buck,
enabling a total solution size of 12 mm × 8.5 mm and
less than 1 mm height on top layer.
