BD4738G-TR

The BD4738G-TR is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator supervisor from ROHM, a Japanese manufacturer of semiconductor and system devices. Specifically, it is much smaller than traditional PNP or NPN packages with a variety of on-chip options for advanced power management. The device is designed to provide an efficient, high quality and reliable method of controlling and monitoring system voltages in order to help ensure system stability and optimal operation.

As a PMIC (Power Management IC) supervisor, BD4738G-TR provides an efficient and reliable way to keep system voltage levels within a given range. It includes the ability to detect and control over-voltage, under-voltage, reverse polarity, short-circuit and thermal alarms. In addition, it supports an array of power supply tracking functions, allowing the user to adjust the power characteristics dynamically. The device is available in 6-pin SOT23 and 8-pin SOP/DFN packages for easy integration into many power management systems.

The BD4738G-TR operates in three different modes: targeted output pass-through, VDROOP phase adjustment, and analog regulation. In targeted output pass-through mode, the device controls the output voltage according to the predetermined target voltage value in order to improve the efficiency. The VDROOP phase control mode monitors the output voltage and adjusts the phase of the current to maintain a stable output voltage. The analog regulation mode offers additional flexibility through the utilization of external feedback components and configurable references. The BD4738G-TR also includes integrated support for multiple power paths and voltage sequencing, which prevents brownouts and blackouts during start up and in the event of a power failure. The device is optimized for low power consumption and maintains battery life on portable products.

In conclusion, the BD4738G-TR is an excellent example of a PMIC (Power Management IC) supervisor, providing a reliable and efficient solution to manage system voltages in various applications, including automation, automotive, industrial, medical and mobile. By adjusting voltage levels, the device prevents brownouts, blackouts and over-voltage and under-voltage conditions, leading to improved system stability, reliability and efficient power consumption.
