PMIC solution for wearable electroncis

Genius 3475 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65070, TPS65217

HI

Wanted to check if TI has a PMIC solution targeted for wearable electronics with below characteristic

- ultra low IQ

- Integrated battery charger

- Integrated battery gauge

- Vout buck - 1v8,3v3,2v5

- Vout boost 12V for display

  • HI Ivan, 

    We might have something that fits what you need. What is the VIN range and load currents for the application?

  • HI Michael

    The Vin would be froma single cell lithium during operation.

    Expected charging to be done via USB.

    We have looked at TPS65217A+Boost and Batt Gauge, then this is a three chip. Space wise would be a concern. Not to mentioned the Iq.

  • Hi Ivan,

    Can you provide some more info on the current requirements for each rail and the boost application? What is the boost powering? Do you have any other kinds of constraints: size, target Iq, etc.?

  • HI Michael,

    The requirement are

    - ultra low IQ  = 1uA

    - Integrated battery charger = 300mA power path

    - Integrated battery gauge (if possible)

                  else a gauge with    I2C or SPI   interface

    - Vout buck - 1v8,3v3,2v5 = 100mA, 200mA, 200mA

    - Vout boost 12V for display = ~50mA

  • HI Michael

    Any feedback?

    Ivan

  • HI Ivan.

    Can you look at TPS65070 and TPS65217? Both have 3 buck converters, some LDOs, WLED driver, and battery charger and power path management. The TPS65070 has a 4 channel ADC / touch screen interface while the TPS65217's LDOs can function as load switches.  

    The idea here would be to use the WLED driver as a boost converter by replacing the LEDs with a zener or shunt regulator. You will still need a battery gauge and the Iq would not be 1uA but, either 8uA or 6uA pending your selection. .
