A power management IC (PMIC) is an integrated circuit that aids in the control of the host system’s power consumption. PMICs are utilised in battery-powered portable devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones to create an efficient power supply.
While preserving the current limit, these integrated circuits govern the flow of power from multiple power sources such as USB, batteries, and wall adapters.
PMICs may be found in a wide range of products, including cellphones, Bluetooth headsets, and MP3 players, as well as portable industrial and medical equipment.
The increased popularity of portable devices is driving up demand for PMICs. Smartphones, laptop computers, and LEDs all employ PMICs. The demand for PMICs grows in tandem with the sales of these items. PMICs are most commonly seen in smartphones.
The Japan Power Management IC (PMIC) Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
Ricoh Electronic Devices Co., Ltd., a Japanese company, has introduced two sophisticated PMICs for industrial and consumer applications.
Four high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converters, seven low-dropout regulators, four GPIOs, an interrupt controller (INTC), and an I2C-Bus interface are all included in this single-chip solution.
In a profile, the output voltages and power-on/off sequence settings may be customised and saved in the built-in One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory.
OTP’s own programmable features for initial output voltage setting and start-up/shut-down sequencing are included in these PMICs. Additional control is provided via register settings such as the I2C bus interface bus, which operates at 400kHz or 3.4MHz.
