Over the past 15 years, NEC Electronics has demonstrated strong expertise in developing short turnaround, custom, integrated PMICs. For example, we recently developed a 150-nanometer (nm) PMIC design for a major consumer electronics customer from fixed specification to design sample in less than five months. Currently in high-volume production, the highly integrated design includes the following, among other functions:
- Twenty-nine (29) low dropout regulators (LDOs)
- Two DC/DC converters
- Audio playback and recording functions
- Audio volume control and mixing
- Charger control
- Headphone/line/receiver drivers
- Light-emitting diode (LED) drivers
All this while optimizing thermal dissipation, EMI minimization, off-chip bill of materials (BOM) and total cost.
With our rich expertise and depth of experience in power management design, we have the resources to achieve industry-leading PMIC design results, on schedule and with minimal risk, giving you the edge you need to stay ahead of the competition.
