WM8311
Processor Power Management Subsystem
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The WM8311 is an integrated power-management subsystem
which provides a cost-effective, flexible, single-chip solution for
power management. It is specifically targeted at the
requirements of a range of low-power portable consumer
products, but is suitable to any application with a multimedia
processor. The WM8311 is designed to operate as a system
PMIC supporting a variety of industry-standard processors and
accessories in a wide range of consumer multimedia
applications.
The start-up behaviour and configuration is fully programmable
in an integrated OTP non-volatile memory. This highly flexible
solution helps reduce time-to-market, as changing application
requirements can be very easily accommodated in the OTP.
The InstantConfig™ interface enables an external EEPROM to
configure the WM8311.
The WM8311 power management subsystem comprises of
four programmable DC-DC converters, seven LDO regulators
(one of which is low-noise for supplying sensitive analogue
subsystems). The integrated OTP bootstrap circuitry controls
the start-up sequencing and voltages of the converters and
regulators as well as the sequencing of system clocks.
WM8311 can be powered from a battery, a wall adaptor or
from a USB power source. An on-chip regulator provides
power for always-on PMIC functions such as register map and
the RTC. The device provides autonomous backup battery
switchover. A low-power LDO is included to support ‘Alive’
processor power domains external to the WM8311.
A linear on-chip battery charger supports trickle charging and
constant current / constant voltage charging of single-cell
lithium-ion / lithium-polymer batteries. The charge current,
termination voltage, and charger time-out are programmable.
WM8311 detects and handles battery fault conditions with a
minimum of system software involvement.
A 12-bit Auxiliary ADC supports a wide range of applications
for internal as well as external analogue sampling, such as
voltage detection and temperature measurement. The Touch
Panel controller uses the same ADC on an interleaved basis.
WM8311 includes a crystal oscillator, an internal RC oscillator
and Frequency Locked Loop (FLL) to generate clock signals
for autonomous system start-up and processor clocking. A
Secure Real-Time Clock (S-RTC) and alarm function is
included, capable of system wake-up from low-power modes.
A watchdog function is provided to ensure system integrity.
To maximise battery life, highly-granular power management
enables each function in the WM8311 subsystem to be
independently powered down through a control interface or
alternatively through register and OTP-configurable GPIOs.
The device offers a standby power consumption of <10uA,
making it particularly suitable for portable applications.
The WM8311 is supplied in a 8x8mm 121-ball BGA package,
ideal for use in portable systems. The WM8311 forms part of
the Wolfson series of audio and power management solutions.
