MX25 Power Management Using the MC34704

The MC34704 family features both a 5-channel (MC34704B) and an 8-channel (MC34704A) power management IC (PMIC), housed in a 56 pin QFN package with pin-to-pin compatibility between both ICs. It is meant to address power management needs for various components and loads, with a target overall efficiency of > 89% at typical loads.

The MC34704 accepts an input voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, from various sources:

1-cell Li-Ion/Polymer (2.7 V to 4.2 V)

5.0V USB supply or AC wall adapter

The total voltage supply range the IC accommodates is 2.7 V to 5.5 V.

Taking advantage of its buck/boost blocks, the MC34704 is a highly flexible power management unit. Output voltages can be ranged between 0.6 V to 3.6 V, even if low voltage is supplied by the battery.

Additionally, the Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) feature allows programming the output voltages (±20% of the nominal voltage), with the I2C bus on the fly. Hence, the dynamic power consumption of the i.MX can be dramatically reduced.

MC34704主要特性:

8 DC/DC switching regulators with up to ±2% output voltage accuracy

Programable Switching Frequency from 250 KHz - 1.0 MHz and 750 KHz to 2.0 MHz

Effective Efficiency from 85% to 95% on REG1 - REG5 and 65% to 78% on REG6 - REG8

DVS (Dynamic voltage scaling) on all regulators.

I2C programmability

OV/UV detection for each regulator

Over-current limit detection and short-circuit protection.

Thermal limit detection (except REG7)

Internal compensation for REG1, REG3, REG6, and REG8

True cutoff on all of the boost and buck-boost regulators.
