DA9025: 5 Channel Power Management Subsystem

The DA9025 is a very flexible circuit designed for low power systems which typically include both digital and analog functions. It is ideally suited to systems using advanced microcontrollers or DSPs which require separate core and peripheral supplies.

The DA9025 provides a basic system level power management solution, handling ON/OFF control, power sequencing and battery monitoring and can act as a core of a system. Additional functionality such as extra regulators or battery charging can be added using readily available standard components allowing the designer to quickly configure a complete system.

Integrated are four low dropout voltage regulators, using Dialog Semiconductor’s patented Smart Mirror ™ technology. Smart Mirror™ simplifies system design and delivers low power operation, whilst at the same time maintaining high dynamic performance. To allow optimum power consumption the DA9025 also includes a DCDC buck converter featuring integrated switching FETS to minimize external components.

Designed to offer great flexibility the DA9025 can operate with or without a host controller.

In addition to providing the regulated supplies the device monitors the power source for under and over voltage conditions and has internal thermal monitoring to protect against overstress.

The DA9025 is packaged in a small 24 lead 4x4mm QFN package, which coupled together with a low external component count, enables a complex power management solution to be realized in just 1cm² of PCB area.
