ROHM has released for mass production two system Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs).These PMICs are optimized for low power and will enable fanless designs of space-conscious mobile PC products such as Ultrabooks, 2-in-1 detachables, and tablets built around Intel’s 14nm Skylake processor.
The BD99991GW PMIC supports the core power rails required by the Skylake platform and supports Intel’s IMVP8 power management interface, while the BD99992GW is designed to providethe additional 10 power rails required for the rest of platform (RoP).
Compared with discrete solutions, ROHM’s dual-PMIC chipset reduces the number of peripheral components by 18% and mounting area by 33%, contributing to greater space savings and increased system size reduction. Matching the PMICs – which feature industry-leading power efficiency – with ROHM-optimized discrete components can enable further reduction in power consumption, mounting area, and number of external parts.
In addition to these latest ICs, ROHM offers PMICs optimized for a variety of applications. ROHM also provides comprehensive support through a network of 11 design centers located throughout the globe.
Going forward, ROHM will continue to leverage its expertise in the analog domain to develop high-performance products and solutions that contribute to energy savings and increased safety.
