Designed for high-end MPU and FPGA methods, the Microchip MCP16701 PMIC integrates eight 1.5-A buck converters that may be paralleled and are obligation cycle-capable. It additionally contains 4 300-mA LDO regulators and a controller to drive exterior MOSFETs.
The MCP16701 permits dynamic VOUT adjustment throughout all converters, from 0.6 V to 1.6 V in 12.5-mV steps and from 1.6 V to three.8 V in 25-mV steps. This flexibility permits exact energy tuning for particular necessities in industrial computing, knowledge servers, and edge AI, enhancing total system effectivity.
Housed in a compact 8×8-mm VQFN bundle, the PMIC reduces board space by 48% and lowers part rely to lower than 60% in comparison with discrete designs. It helps Microchip’s PIC64-GX MPU and PolarFire FPGAs with a configurable characteristic set and operates from -40°C to +105°C. An I2C interface facilitates communication with different system parts.
The MCP16701 prices $3 every in plenty of 10,000 items.
