The LTC3589 is a complete power management solution for ARM and ARM-based processors and advanced portable microprocessor systems. The device contains three synchronous step-down DC/DC converters for core, memory and SoC rails, a synchronous buck-boost regulator for I/O at 3.3V to 5V, and three 250mA LDO regulators for low noise analog supplies. An I2C serial port is used to control regulator enables, output voltage levels, dynamic voltage scaling and slew rate, operating modes and status reporting. Regulator start-up is sequenced by connecting regulator outputs to enable pins in the desired order or via the I2C port. System power-on, power-off and reset functions are controlled by pushbutton interface, pin inputs, or I2C interface. The LTC3589 supports i.MX, PXA and OMAP processors with eight independent rails at appropriate power levels, dynamic control and sequencing. Other features include interface signals such as the VSTB pin that toggles between programmed run and standby output voltages on up to four rails simultaneously. The device is available in a low profile 40-pin 6mm x 6mm exposed pad QFN package.
