MIC7400
Configurable PMIC, Five-Channel Buck
Regulator Plus One-Boost with
HyperLight Load^® and I²C Control
General Description
The MIC7400 is a powerful, highly integrated,
configurable, power-management IC (PMIC) featuring five
synchronous buck regulators, one boost regulator and
high-speed I²C interface with an internal EEPROM.
The device offers two distinct modes of operation “stand-
by mode” and “normal mode” intended to provide an
energy optimized solution suitable for portable handheld,
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 stand-by mode the PMIC can configured in a low power
state by either disabling an output or by changing the
output voltage to a lower level. Independent exit from
stand-by mode can be achieved either by I²C
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. One boost regulator provides a flash-memory
programming supply that delivers up to 200mA 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 MIC7400 is
designed for use with a small inductors (down to 0.47µH
for buck, 1.5µH for boost), and an output capacitor as
small as 10µF for buck, enabling a total solution size of
15mm × 15mm and less than 1mm height.
