Tiny, Highly Integrated PMIC Reference Design for Solid-State Drives
Texas Instruments
Compact power solution for consumer and enterprise solid-state drives (SSD) enables flexible design and enhances data integrity. The advanced Power Management Unit (PMU) contains three configurable, high efficiency buck regulators for supplying variable voltages. This reliable, flexible power solution replaces up to four (4) discrete components typically used in these drives.
Features
- Buck 1: 1.1V to 3.6V; 1.6A
- Buck 2: 1.1V to 3.6V; 1A
- Buck 3: 0.7V to 1.335V; 1A
- Programmable low-dropout LDO 1.2V to 3.1V, up to 250 mA
- Up to 95% efficient buck regulator with PFM mode for high-efficiency light-load operation and deep sleep mode (DEVSLP) to save power during idle times
- This fully-functional evaluation board is supported with design files and an application note
