The LP5553 is a System Power Management Interface (SPMI) compliant Energy Management Unit for reducing power consumption of low power hand held applications such as dual-core processors and DSPs. The LP5553 contains 2 advanced, digitally controlled stepdown DC/DC converters for supplying variable voltages to a SoC. The device also incorporates 5 programmable lowdropout, low noise linear regulators for powering I/O, peripheral logic blocks, auxiliary system functions, and maintaining memory retention (dual-domain) in shutdown-mode. The LP5553 implements 2 Non-Request Capable Slaves that are controlled via the SPMI. The LP5553 operates cooperatively with PowerWise AVS technology compatible processors to optimize supply voltages adaptively (AVS - Adaptive Voltage Scaling) over process and temperature variations. It also supports dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) using frequency/voltage pairs from pre-characterized look-up tables.
