TCM810RVLB713

Power management integrated circuits (PMIC) are just that — complete power systems on a chip. They are designed to simplify power management design and decrease the time-to-market for designing and producing new systems. One such PMIC is the TCM810RVLB713. This PMIC is classified as a supervisor, used for controlling the power system of integrated circuit (IC) applications.

The primary function of a PMIC supervisor is to monitor and regulate the voltage level of the system in general. This is done by using a comparator whose task is to be constantly monitoring the input voltage. If the voltage drops below a pre-set threshold, the comparator will generate a signal to the output, notifying the system of a low-voltage condition. The supervisor can then take protective or corrective measures, such as shutting down or resetting the system.

TCM810RVLB713 combines a low-voltage monitor and a high-voltage monitor, each with its own dedicated system events. The comparators and associated latched outputs observe the status of the system voltage and provide notification to the user when any threshold is violated. The IC has the ability to individually respond to high-voltage and low-voltage conditions with independent trip-points, output sources, latched outputs, and overrun timers, allowing it to be configured for multiple applications.

The main advantages of this IC are its small size, high efficiency, and low power consumption. The supervisors are much smaller than discrete components, as all of the functions are integrated into one IC, and in turn, significantly reduce board size. Additionally, the integrated nature of these components makes them more efficient and can help to reduce power consumption. All of this contributes to the overall system cost, as there will be smaller components with higher efficiency at a lower overall system cost.

The TCM810RVLB713 supervisor is typically used in applications such as displays, industrial, laser printers, and desktop computers, as it provides reliable and cost-effective protection for these types of systems. This IC is capable of outputting a low or high-voltage signal in order to indicate the status of the respective monitored voltage levels. In addition, it can perform various processing tasks such as reset, power-on delay, brownout detection, and more, depending upon the application.

In order to ensure a reliable, cost-effective system, it is recommended that the TCM810RVLB713 is used in conjunction with a high-performance microcontroller. With dedicated hardware, and the ability to monitor or control all aspects of power management, the TCM810RVLB713 PMIC supervisor can increase the efficiency of the system and reduce the system cost.
