This TI Reference Design utilizes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) for supplying a Freescale® i.MX6 SoC in a DDR3 application. This design showcases the TPS65911 as an all-in-one IC used to supply the rails needed for powering the i.MX6 SoC, with available regulators for system peripherals. The TPS65911 offers simple, flexibile output voltages and sequencing. The voltages on the DC/DC converters can be adjusted over i2c once the device has entered the active state, allowing for individual regulator customization.
Features
- Offers 3 highly efficient, adjustable DC-DC converters with integrated FETs, 1 Controller for external FETs, and 8 adjustable general purpose LDOs
- Provides all supply rails to power the IMX6 in a compact 2.095 in2 area (includes passive components)
- Supports up to 5.5V supply
- Additional LDOs to power peripherals in system
- The TPS65911 offers an integrated Real Time Clock (RTC) for time-critical applications
- The 0.65mm pitch of the 98-pin BGA package enables robust trace routing (6mm x 9mm)
