GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FyreStorm’s FS1610 Advanced Power Management Controller utilizes proprietary digital technology to provide a fully programmable power subsystem solution for sophisticated mobile devices such as digital still cameras, feature-phones, smart-phones, PDAs and handheld computers. Compared to traditional implementations, an FS1610 based solution reduces PCB area, and its digital technology, which allows full programmability, results in faster design cycles, allowing quicker time-to-market for the end product. It reduces glue logic by interfacing seamlessly to processors such as Intel’s PXA family, Freescale Semiconductor’s MX families, Samsung’s ARM9-based family and AMD’s Au1200 family. A patented digital control algorithm reduces capacitor and inductor size and cost, reduces quiescent current and improves conversion efficiency. Start-up configuration of the device is stored in an internal EEPROM that can be programmed by the user, and can then be managed by the host processor via the device’s I2C or UART serial port.
