Power Manager Streamlines Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Devices May 2004 Issue Published Date: May 03, 2004
Claiming to reduce the size and power consumption of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi products, the PowerTrimPaK laser-trimmable analog IP blocks also promise to shrink design cycles, lower the bill-of-material, and increase reliability. Users have a wide variety of IP blocks to choose from. These include: battery-charge monitoring; battery charger with laser tunable RSENS; charge-pump converters for flash memory, LED, or LCD supplies; dc/dc step-up and step-down converters; inverted charge pump; LDO regulator; power-management control; reverse-battery protection; temperature sensor; and voltage references. IP functions are available separately or they can be combined in a single block. LTRIM TECHNOLOGIES, Quebec, Canada. (450) 681-3171.
