Power Management Integrated Circuits
Tai Nguyen | November 5th, 2017
Overview
Research into Power Managment Integrated Circuit (PMIC) and how their components of linear regulators, voltage regulators, and switch regulators are each used in particular cases. Compares the different regulators for trade-offs inefficiently, voltage output levels, current output, cost, and reliability. Also includes a discussion on load switches, inrush current and polarity protection.
