Quickly Validate Power Management ICs (PMICs)
In Power Management IC (PMIC) validation, engineers and managers may face challenges such as keeping up with evolving applications, balancing thorough testing and constraints, coordinating teams, and meeting aggressive time-to-market schedules. Finding a validation platform that meets these challenges is a critical component to PMIC validation success:
Time-to-Market Pressure—PMIC manufacturers face pressure to get their products to market quickly.
Complex Power-Management Requirements—PMICs must meet complex power management requirements, including voltage and current regulation, power sequencing, and thermal management.
Variability in Supply Voltage and Temperature—PMICs must be validated across varying supply voltage and temperature to meet their specs and requirements.
Interaction with Other Components—PMICs must be tested in an actual system to verify correct interaction with other components in the validation lab.
Cost—PMIC validation testing can be expensive, particularly if the test equipment required is specialized and not readily available.
