Microchip Technology has introduced the MCP16701, a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) designed to meet the demands of high-performance MPU and FPGA designers. The MCP16701 includes eight 1.5A buck converters that can be paralleled, four 300 mA internal Low Dropout Voltage Regulators (LDOs), and a controller for external MOSFETs.
The fast integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into industrial, computing, and data center applications is driving up demand for more efficient and advanced power management solutions and with the new advanced PMIC Microchip aims to address these challenges.
With less than 60% of the components count of a discrete solution, this highly integrated device can reduce the space by 48%.
For applications with limited space, the MCP16701 provides a compact and versatile power management solution in an 8 mm × 8 mm VQFN box. With a feature set that may be customized, the MCP16701 supports PolarFire® FPGAs and Microchip’s PIC64-GX MPU while meeting a variety of power requirements.
To make communication between the PMIC and other system components easier and more efficient, the MCP16701 has an I2C communication interface. For reliable performance in a variety of environmental circumstances, the device operates in the temperature range of TJ -40°C to +105°C.
The MCP16701’s ability to dynamically adjust Vout levels for all converters in increments of 12.5 mV or 25 mV is one of its primary features. Because of this maximum flexibility, designers can adjust power supply to suit the needs of certain applications, improving system performance and efficiency overall.
The MCP16701 joins a family of Microchip PMIC products—including the MCP16502, MCP16501 and others—that are used to power high-performance MPU applications targeting industrial computing, data centers, IoT and edge AI. To learn more, visit Microchip’s power management products web page.
