PMIC and Multifunction

Many of Analog Devices’ battery management products combine the functionality of our standalone battery chargers with one or more other functions. Our power management IC (PMIC) products combine battery charging, PowerPath control, and one or more dc-to-dc regulators for a complete power solution for handheld products. Our PowerPath products and architecture allow the load to be powered from both V_IN and the battery—ensuring shorter charging time and more flexibility for portable device design. They also enable instant-on in systems with a depleted battery. Other features include dual inputs for USB and wall adapters, switching regulators, comparators, or LDOs.
