Renesas Electronics’ latest programmable power management ICs (PMICs) claim to deliver the highest power efficiency and smallest footprint. The ISL91302B, ISL91301A, and ISL91301B PMICs are viable for powering supply rails in solid-state drives (SSDs), optical transceivers, and a wide range of consumer, industrial and networking devices. The ISL91302B dual/single output, multiphase PMIC provides up to 20A of output current and 94% peak efficiency in a 70-mm2 package.
The ISL91301A triple output and ISL91301B quad output PMICs both deliver up to 16A of output power with 94% peak efficiency. They leverage the company’s R5 Modulation Technology to provide fast single-cycle transient response, digitally tuned compensation, and a 6-MHz maximum switching frequency during load transients. These features enable designers to create boards with 2 mm x 2 mm, 1-mm low profile inductors, small capacitors, and only a few passive components.
The PMICs also do not require external compensation components or external dividers to set operating conditions. Each device dynamically changes the number of active phases for optimum efficiency at all output currents.
