This proof-of-concept details the design considerations of the discrete power design for the AC8025 (from AutoChips™) system-on-chip (SoC) power rails with a power-management IC (PMIC) design. The design uses the TPS6593-Q1 PMIC, TPS62875-Q1 synchronous buck converters, and TPS745-Q1 low-dropout (LDO) regulators. The original power source is the battery. The battery voltage is converted to regulate the 5V or 3.8V bus. The LM25149-Q1 converts the battery voltage to regulate the bus voltage. All components in this design are automotive-qualified.
Features
- Power sequencing for AC8025 rails are controlled with PMIC TPS6593-Q1
- The GPIO output on the TPS6593-Q1 device can be used to control the TPS62875-Q1, TPS628502-Q1, and TPS784-Q1 devices for power sequencing
