MC34708VM

The MC34708VM, developed by Freescale Semiconductor, is a specialized Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) used to simplify design and reduce the overall cost of embedded applications. It integrates essential functions from both the power management domain and the low-level control domain.

In the power management domain, it helps to increase system efficiency by providing programmable power-saving features. It is designed for applications that require power supply control and power switching. The MC34708VM has eight outputs for configuration of power rails ranging from 0V to 28V, and for total power-off switch control. Customers can use these outputs independently and active reset (POR) to provide additional protection functions.

In the low-level control domain, the MC34708VM provides flexible system options and peripherals that can be used in a wide range of applications. It includes an on-chip 8-bit I2C/SPI compatible Joystick port and four independent programmable timer/counters. It also provides a versatile ADC subsystem with a resolution up to 12-bits that can be used for various analog measurements. Additionally, the MC34708VM offers multiple GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) ports, an on-chip voltage reference, an integrated +/- 3V linear regulator and more.

The MC34708VM is an application-specific integrated circuit that can be used for a wide range of embedded applications including industrial, automotive and domestic applications. It is designed for applications that require power control and switching, high efficiency, and low-level system control. The MC34708VM integrates essential functions from both the power management domain and the low-level control domain, allowing customers to simplify their design and reduce their overall cost. The high integration of the MC34708VM is both cost and space effective and provides enhanced flexibility for designers looking for a reliable and convenient solution for their applications.
