Dialog Semiconductor: compact PMIC for digital SLR cameras

Posted 21 April 2017

Dialog Semiconductor announced the DA6102, a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) complete power supply solution for DSLR, mirrorless cameras, and multi-cell Li-ion battery applications.

The DA6102 features two buck regulators, one buck-boost regulator, one high-current buck controller, and two always-on LDOs. Low RDSon FETs enable efficiency as high as 94% for buck and buck-boost regulation. An I2C interface enables flexibility and easy configuration of the output voltage, switching frequency, power sequencing, and fault protection. Most features are also configurable by OTP for simple output voltage and start-up sequence setup.

The high level of integration and efficiency, combined with a high switching frequency operation of up to 3 MHz, minimizes the PCB size and external component count and height.

Dialog SmartCanvas GUI allows engineers to simply evaluate the DA6102, accelerating their product development time. The device is available in a WLCSP package measuring just 2.97 x 3.375 mm and available now through Avnet.
