PMICs are used across many different industries and product
categories. They can perform a wide variety of functions,
including charging, power loss protection and DC-DC conversion
and regulation. Because of their tiny size and low power
consumption, PMICs are used in many small devices such as
wearables; hearables such as earbuds, mobile devices, sensors;
and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They maximize product
performance and efficiency, increase design flexibility, and
reduce bill-of-materials cost, helping manufacturers reduce
overall cost and accelerate time-to-market.
Today's PMICs can handle several
or even all the voltage regulation
functions needed within an
electronic device.

Today's Power Management Integrated
Circuits (PMICs)
PMICs are small, versatile integrated circuits used for voltage
conversion, voltage regulation, and battery management
(Figure 3). Today's PMICs can handle several or even all the
voltage regulation functions needed within an electronic
device. They can be adapted for different applications
by simply changing the firmware or register settings,
eliminating the need for costly hardware changes. This helps
develop new applications faster at a lower cost.
