Programmable Multirail PMIC for Multicore Processors, FPGAs, and Systems

The TPS650861 device family from Texas Instruments is a single-chip power-management IC (PMIC) designed to be programmed for optimal output voltages and sequencing. The TPS650861 has three controllers to provide flexible power capable of up to 30A with large external FETs for high power designs but which can scale down in both size and cost for smaller designs.

Typical applications are expected to include: programmable logic controllers, machine vision cameras, video surveillance equipment, test and measurement systems, embedded PCs, and motion controls.

Combined with three 3A converters, three general purpose LDOs, a termination LDO for DDR, and three load switches, the TPS650861 can provide system power for a wide variety of applications. The D-CAP2™ and DCS-Control high-frequency voltage regulators use small passives to achieve a small solution size.

The D-CAP2 and DCS-Control topologies have excellent transient response performance, ideal for processor core and system memory rails that have fast load switching. The device has two banks of one-time programmable (OTP) memory.
