Power Management
As SoC complexity increases exponentially, system integrators face challenges in power management (PM) requirements unlike ever before. With high levels of complexity and performance, PM subsystems require solutions that are far from trivial, with levels of knowledge, investment and development time far beyond what is normally acceptable in today's product development cycles. By leveraging third party IP and expert integration services, developers can get the right PM solution for their needs with low risk and minimal cost.
MIPS Technologies leverages its deep power management expertise to manage customers' power management challenges and provide seamless "plug-and-play" SoC and SiP solutions. MIPS eliminates customers' power management burden-enabling design teams to concentrate on digital differentiation, firmware and system design. MIPS Technologies works closely with customers to identify the standard and unique requirements of their design, maximizing both IP reuse and differentiation. The high level of programmability in MIPS Technologies' IP blocks eliminates the need for expensive, overly-customized solutions, reducing risk and time-to-market.
MIPS Technologies' power management solutions are ideal for all electronic devices, including PMP/MP3 players, CD and minidisk players and recorders, AAC/WMA/multi-format players and recorders, PDAs, mobile phones and smart phones, digital still cameras/video cameras, mobile GPS and DTV receivers, 802.11 and WiMAX receivers, audio and video set-top boxes and more. MIPS has an extensive portfolio of power management IP cores, from individual blocks to complete power management units (PMUs), silicon-proven in deep submicron technologies.
MIPS' scalable approach makes porting easy. Power management solutions include DCDC converters and switch controllers, charge pumps, linear regulators, battery and back-up battery chargers, voltage monitors such as POR (power-on-reset) over- and under-voltage detectors, temperature monitors and digitizers, oscillators and reference circuits.
