Description:
New consumer wearable, hearable, and connected devices are continually getting smaller and less invasive. Engineers face increasing challenges trying to pack all the necessary product features into a tiny form factor of an earbud or a wearable gadget such as a ring, bracelet, or skin patch. These space-constrained products benefit from the MAX77650 and MAX77651 tiny low-power PMICs using space-saving SIMO (single-inductor, multiple-output) technology.
These innovative solutions support a 3-output SIMO buck-boost regulator which minimizes solution size while maintaining high efficiency. SIMO technology enables efficiency advantages of switching DC-DC regulators with nearly the form-factor of LDOs. The power management ICs (PMICs) also integrate a lithium-ion battery charger for small battery cells. Other functions such as internal power sequencing, RGB LED current sinks, and a low-noise 150mA LDO are integrated to make the product a total system power solution. All of this is accomplished with a low operating quiescent current (IQ) of 5.6µA and a shutdown supply current of 0.3µA.
This webinar will help you gain a deeper understanding of SIMO technology and how it works. You will also learn about Maxim’s PMICs, featuring the SIMO regulator, which reduce power dissipation and overall component count, while providing the same functionality of traditional solutions in less than half the space.
