The MAX1586/MAX1587 power-management ICs are optimized for devices using Intel XScale microprocessors, including Smart Phones, PDAs, internet appliances, and other portable devices requiring substantial computing and multimedia capability at low power. The ICs integrate seven high-performance, low-operatingcurrent power supplies along with supervisory and management functions. Included are three step-down DC-DC outputs, three linear regulators, and a seventh always-on output. DC-DC converters power I/O, DRAM, and the CPU core. The I/O supply can be preset to 3.3V or adjusted to other values. The DRAM supply on the A and C devices is preset for 1.8V or 2.5V, while the MAX1586B DRAM supply is preset for 3.3V or 2.5V. The DRAM supply on all parts can also be adjusted with external resistors. The CPU core supply is serial programmed for dynamic voltage management and, on C devices, can supply up to 0.9A. Linear-regulated outputs are provided for SRAM, PLL, and USIM supplies. To minimize quiescent current, critical power supplies have bypass "sleep" LDOs that can be activated when output current is very low. Other functions include separate on/off control for all DC-DC converters, low-battery and dead-battery detection, a reset and power-OK output, a backup-battery input, and a two-wire serial interface.
