ACT8846 Advanced PMU for Multi-core Application Processors FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION INTEGRATED POWER SUPPLIES The ACT8846 is a complete, cost effective, and TM Four DC/DC Step-Down (Buck) Regulators highly-efficient ActivePMU power management solution optimized for the power, voltage sequencing 2 x 2.8A, 2 x 1.5A and control requirements of Rockchip RK31x8 Five Low-Noise LDOs application processor family. 2 x 150mA, 3 x 350mA Three Low-Input Voltage LDOs The ACT8846 features four fixed-frequency, current- mode, synchronous PWM step-down converters that 1 x 150mA, 2 x 350mA achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. These One Low IQ Keep-Alive LDO regulators operate with a fixed frequency of 2.25MHz, Backup Battery Charger minimizing noise in sensitive applications and allowing SYSTEM CONTROL AND INTERFACE the use of small external components. These buck regulators supply up to 2.8A of output current and can Four General Purpose I/O with PWM Drivers 2 fully satisfy the power and control requirements of the I C Serial Interface multi-core application processor. Dynamic Voltage Interrupt Controller Scaling (DVS) is supported either by dedicated control SYSTEM MANAGEMENT pins, or through I2C interface to optimize the energy- Reset Interface and Sequencing Controller per-task performance for the processor. This device also include eight low-noise LDOs (up to 350mA per Power on Reset LDO), one always-on LDO and an integrated backup Soft / Hard Reset battery charger to provide a complete power system for Watchdog Supervision the processor. Multiple Sleep Modes The power sequence and reset controller provides Thermal Management Subsystem power-on reset, SW-initiated reset, and power cycle reset for the processor. It also features the watchdog APPLICATIONS supervisory function. Multiple sleep modes with autonomous sleep and wake-up sequence control are Tablet PC supported. Mobile Internet Devices (MID) E-books The thermal management and protection subsystem Personal Navigation Devices allows the host processor to manage the power dissipation of the PMU and the overall system Smart Phones dynamically. The PMU provides a thermal warning to the host processor when the temperature reaches a certain threshold such that the system can turn off some of the non-essential functions, reduce the clock frequency and etc to manage the system temperature. The ACT8846 is available in a compact, Pb-Free and RoHS-compliant TQFN66-48 package.
