TI Intros VID Interface Controller with Adjustable Start-Up Current for Core-Voltage Regulators

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today introduced a power management controller with 4- and 6-bit voltage identification (VID) interfaces. The LM10011 is designed to operate along with a point-of-load regulator to adjust the core voltage (VCORE) of a VID-enabled processor, such as TI's C6000™ power-optimized DSPs and KeyStone multicore DSPs. The LM10011 enables TI's DSPs to realize their full power savings capability to reduce power consumption in wireless infrastructure applications. The controller features one-percent output accuracy and adjustable output current during start-up.

The LM10011 VID controller operates over a 2.97-V to 5.5-V input voltage range and is a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution. It can be used with any point-of-load regulator that has a feedback node, such as TI's high-performance 15-A LM21215 and 25-A TPS56221 synchronous buck regulators. The LM10011 offers 16 pin-programmable current output options during start-up, allowing the DSP VCORE to power up various voltages to enable greater system flexibility and reliability.

The LM10011 controller joins TI's family of high-accuracy VID products that include the LM10010, UCD9244, UCD9224, UCD9248 and UCD9222. Key features and benefits of the LM10011 VID controller include: 16 selectable start-up current options offer flexibility for system operation and higher system reliability.One-percent output voltage accuracy is fully compliant with C6000 VID table. 2.97-V to 5.5-V input voltage range supports both 5-V and 3.3-V bus voltages. Pin-selectable VID format allows 4-bit and 6-bit VID patterns. Precision enable supports custom under-voltage lockout (UVLO).

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
