ROHM today announced the availability of BD71847AMWV, a highly integrated and efficient power management IC (PMIC) optimized for NXP Semiconductors’ i.MX 8M Mini family of application processors, which features exceptional computing, audio, video, and graphics performance. BD71847AMWV is the latest addition to ROHM’s growing portfolio of PMICs designed for NXP’s i.MX application processors. With the BD71837MWV, which was introduced a year ago to support the high-performance i.MX 8M Quad and Dual applications processors, ROHM has power solutions for all members of the i.MX 8M family.
i.MX 8M Mini applications processors allow customers to incorporate voice interface to audio/video streaming devices at minimal cost. They integrate up to four Arm Cortex-A53 cores operating up to 1.8GHz along with an Arm Cortex-M4 that operates at up to 400 MHz for low standby power consumption. In addition, support for 1080p video processing, 2D/3D graphics, advanced audio functions, and various high-speed interfaces makes the i.MX 8M Mini ideal for a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.
Leveraging ROHM’s expertise in analog power and advanced BCD process, BD71847AMWV integrates all power rails required by the processor as well as power supplies for DDR and common system IO. In addition to DC/DC converters with industry-leading efficiency of 95%, the PMIC features programmable power sequencer for flexible power control and management, seamless hardware control interface to i.MX 8M Mini, buffered sleep clock, protection functions, etc.. The high level of integration, customizations for i.MX 8M Mini applications processors, and programmability help to shorten development time, to lower system BOM cost, and to minimize solution footprint.
Going forward, ROHM will continue to expand its product portfolio to support future members of the i.MX 8M family and to offer optimized solutions for different applications and market segments.
