Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the new MCP16701 PMIC from Microchip Technology. The MCP16701 is designed for high-performance MPU and FPGA designers needing a compact and flexible power management solution for wireline access networks, cellular infrastructure, defence, commercial aviation, and industrial IoT applications.
The PMIC is a small-form-factor (8mm × 8mm) VQFN package that integrates eight DC-DC Buck regulators (which can be paralleled) with four 300mA internal LDOs and a controller to drive external MOSFETs. A key feature of the device is its ability to dynamically change Vout levels for all converters in 12.5mV/25mV increments, permitting maximum flexibility for designers to meet specific application requirements and enhance overall system efficiency and performance with a low, no-load, operational quiescent current, drawing less than 10μA in full shutdown for high-performance µC/µP, FPGA, DSP, and MPUs power supply solutions. The PMIC is specifically targeted for the following high-performance Microchip Technology MPUs and FPGAs.
The PIC64GX1000 64-bit RISC-V quad-core MPUs feature Linux OS-capable processors providing power-efficient and embedded computing platforms based on RISC-V ISA. These MPUs include built-in secure boot, real-time modes, a large, flexible L2 memory subsystem, and embedded peripherals. The PolarFire FPGAs consume up to 50% less power than equivalent SRAM FPGAs, addressing cybersecurity threats and reliability issues for sub-micron SRAM-based FPGAs. The PolarFire SoC FPGAs combine low-power, thermally efficient SoC FPGAs with a deterministic, coherent RISC-V CPU cluster.
The company also stocks the Microchip Technology EV23P28A evaluation board for demonstrating and testing the MCP16701 IC capabilities. This evaluation board features circuitry that enables load transient testing with a fast current rise time and a fast controlled fall time.
