The Industry's First 6ch Power Management LSI for Li-ion Devices

03.15.07

ROHM has recently completed development of the industry's first 6ch Power Management LSI integrating a protective function and startup sequence into a single chip. The BD8611EFV ensures high reliability by protecting the system from various power supply failures common in set systems-specifically in battery-driven equipment including portable DVD players and navigation systems.

Integrating a startup sequence is absolutely essential for multi-block circuits and processor cores such as DSP and I/O which require different voltages (1.8V I/O, 3.3V DSP core) and sensitive power-up timing sequences. The BD9611EFV significantly reduces power system development while improving system reliability.

Applications:

• Portable DVD players
• Portable Navigation systems
• Portable Laptop
• PCs Portable
• Lithium ion devices

Features:

• Integrated protection function for all output power supplies
• Built-in switching path function for power supply
• Detects irregular outputs (rise or drop in supply voltage output, faulty startup sequence, overcurrent, or disconnection)
• Built-in startup sequence circuit
• Equipped with 6ch variable power supply (adjusted via external resistors) - ideal for portable equipment
• Two-cell lithium-ion battery charging function
