Overview

The TPS65218B1RSLR is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) designed specifically to power ARM Cortex-A8 and A9 processors, as well as FPGAs. It features seven individual outputs including three buck converters, one buck-boost converter, and three LDOs to provide a complete power solution from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The device includes an I2C interface for dynamic voltage scaling and status monitoring.

Why Choose This Part

This PMIC reduces PCB complexity by integrating seven power rails and power sequencing logic into a single 6x6mm VQFN package. It offers high efficiency with a low sleep current of 220uA and supports high-load transients with a maximum output current of 1.8A on its primary rails.

Applications

Industrial Computing
Providing regulated power rails for Sitara AM335x and AM437x based industrial control units.
FPGA Powering
Managing the complex multi-rail power requirements and sequencing for low-power FPGAs.
Portable Data Terminals
Efficiently converting battery voltages (up to 5.5V) into core, I/O, and memory rails for mobile processors.
Smart Home Gateways
Acting as the central power hub for embedded Linux systems requiring high integration and small footprint.
