FEATURES
INTEGRATED POWER SUPPLIES GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(Please see the ORDERING INFORMATION section to get the Full Part Numbers.) The ACT8848 features four fixed-frequency, current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down converters that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) is supported either by dedicated control pins, or through I2C interface to optimize the energy-pertask performance for the processors. This device also includes eight low-noise LDOs (up to 350mA per LDO), one always-ON LDO and an integrated backup battery charger to provide the complete power system for the processors. The power sequence and reset controller provides power-on reset, SW-initiated reset, and power cycle reset for the processor. It also features the watchdog supervisory function. Multiple sleep modes with autonomous sleep and wake-up sequence control are supported. The thermal management and protection subsystem allows the host processor to manage the power dissipation of the PMU and the overall system dynamically.
