General Description

The Micrel MIC2826 is a four output, programmable Power Management IC, optimized for high efficiency power support in Mobile Application Processors, Co-Processors, DSPs, GPS and Media Player chipsets. The device integrates a single 500mA PWM/PFM synchronous buck (step-down) regulator with three Low Dropout Regulators and a 400kHz I²C interface that provides programmable Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS), Power Sequencing, and individual output Enable/Disable controls allowing the user to optimally control all four outputs.
