LTC3676 datasheet Features Quad I 2 C Adjustable High Efficiency Step Down DC/DC Converters: 2.5A, 2.5A, 1.5A, 1.5A Three 300mA LDO Regulators (Two Adjustable) DDR Power Solution with V TT and VTTR Reference Pushbutton ON/OFF Control with System Reset Independent Enable Pin-Strap or I 2 C Sequencing Programmable Autonomous Power-Down Control Dynamic Voltage Scaling Power Good and Reset Functions Selectable 2.25MHz or 1.12MHz Switching Frequency Always Alive 25mA LDO Regulator 12μA Standby Current Low Profile 40-Lead 6mm × 6mm × 0.75mm QFN Package Linux Driver Instructions (Please note that this is a Beta Release Version) The driver is good reference code to illustrate how to communicate with LTC3676 via I2C. The .zip file also includes a test app and readme.txt with instructions. It has been tested with i.MX6Q NovPek board from NovTech. It is configured for the LTC3676-1 but also support LTC3676 by simply changing a flag and there are comments about the minor difference between the -1 and non-1 for the driver. Here is the description and instructions also contained in the included readme file: This package contains the linux driver for LTC3676 and LTC3676-1. It has been tested with i.MX6Q. It also includes a test app. It is configured for the LTC3676-1 but there are internal comments about the minor difference between the -1 and non-1 for the driver. Here are general instructions on how to include this new driver in the Linux build using ltib. You can also see that it is tested with linux-3.0.35 that Freescale has used for i.MX6. 1) cd ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux-3.0.35 (Where your Ltib folder is stored). 2) extract zip file: tar -zxpf LTC3676_Driver.tar.gz 3) Run LTIB configure: ./ltib -c 4) Select "Configure the kernel", exit, and yes to save. 5) When Kernel Menu appears, select "Device Drivers". 6) Select "Voltage and Current Regulator Support". 7) Select "Linear LTC3676 Regulator Driver" to compile into kernel. Don't build as a module. 😎 Exit and Save. 9) Ltib should build the kernel with the driver. Application Instructions: This builds in the ltc3676_1_test application to allow a user to check the regulators and dynamically change the voltage on the ARM core rail. The voltage movement is small to not push the i.MX6 outside normal operation. This test application does not have any overvoltage error checking for safety. It also does not change the processor frequency. It just tests the basic LTC3676 driver operation. 1) cd ltib (Where your Ltib folder is stored). 2) Run "./ltib -m prep -p imx-test" 3) Move the ltc3676_test folder extracted from this tar file: "mv rpm/BUILD/linux-3.0.35/ltc3676_test rpm/BUILD/imx-test-12.09.01/test/." 4) Run "./ltib -m scbuild -p imx-test" 5) Run "./ltib" 6) Burn SD Card, "./mk_mx6_sd -ukr /dev/sdb", /dev/sdb is the name of the SD card. 7) Safely Remove SD Card and install in NOVPEK board. 😎 Power and boot to Linux. 9) Run "cd /unit_test " 10) Run Application, ./ltc3676_1_test i.MX6 Board from NovTech (Click on this link) Schematics for LTC3676-1 Linear Technology Power Plug in Board available. Contact your local Linear Technology sales office Gerard Velcelean (gvelcelean@linear.com) or Steve Knoth (sknoth@linear.com) if you have any questions.

The DA9063 from Dialog Semiconductors is a powerful system PMIC for the next generation of single, dual and quad-core application processors based on the ARM Cortex™ A9 and A15 architecture. The PMIC follows a scalable approach of output currents and rails to supply the entire system and is capable of delivering a total of up to 12A from its six DC-DC converters. The DA9063 simultaneously powers the processor (the core at up to 5A), external memory, wireless communications (WLAN and Bluetooth), GPS and FM receivers, and data modems.  The DC-DC converters can be paralleled to provide 3A and 5A rails. Description: DA9063 is a high current system PMIC suitable for Single, Dual and Quad-core processors used in smartphones, tablets and other handhelds applications that require up to a 5A core processor supply. There are multiple operating modes, five consuming <20μA including a 1.5μA RTC mode with alarm & wake up. A system monitor watchdog is enabled in Active mode. DA9063 contains 6x DC-DC Buck converters designed to use small external 1µH inductors capable of supplying in total up to 12A continuous output (0.3-3.3V). 11x SmartMirror™ programmable LDO regulators rated up to 300mA. All support remote capacitor placement and operate from low 1.5/1.8V input supply; this allows the linear regulators to be cascaded with a suitable buck supply to improve overall system efficiency. A number of LDOs can be configured as current limited bypass-switches to support external peripherals such as external accessory or memory cards. The Buck converters do not require external Schottky diodes, they dynamically optimise their efficiency depending on the load current using an Automatic Sleep Mode (ASM). They incorporate pin and s/w controlled Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC) to support processor load adaptive adjustment of the supply voltage. Processor core leakage reduction can be achieved using external FET switches driven by the rail switch controllers for ultra-fast power domain switching. The DA9063 provides a startup sequencing engine that offers autonomous hardware and software controlled system start-up. Customisable power modes  can also be configured using “Power Commander,” Dialog’s powerful graphical user interface. The ON-key feature detects the button press time and offers configurable key-lock and application shut-down functions. Up to 16 free configurable GPIO pins are able to perform system functions including keypad supervision, application wake-up and timing controlled enable of external regulators/power switches or other ICs. A 10-bit ADC supports voltage and temperature supervision from general purpose inputs including automatic interrupt from comparators and resistor measurement.  Three RGB-LED driver pins are provided with PWM control. LDO8 may be configured as a 6-bit PWM controlled vibration motor driver with automatic battery voltage correction. Features Input supply voltage range up to 5.5v 6 DC-DC Buck Converters with Dynamic Voltage control 2.5A  Buck 2.5A  Buck 2.5A  Buck 1.5A  Buck 1.5A  Buck 1.5A  Buck 3MHz Switching Frequency Enables use of  1.0mm high inductors Integrated Power Switches 11 LDO Regulators with programmable Output 3 low noise LDOs 4 with Dynamic Voltage Control 5 with current limited Switch option Fast controller for 2 Rail Switches Ultra low power 1.5µA Real-Time Clock with alarm, oscillator circuitry with crystal frequency adjustment and controlled signal provision Power Manager with programmable Start-up of internal and external regulators/rail switches and configurable low power modes Support of multiple master applications via two independent Control Interfaces System Monitor including Watchdog Timer Up to 16 free configurable GPIO Pins enable system control from DA9063 while the application is in standby RGB-LED driver (PWM) with autonomous flashing PWM vibration motor driver 10-Bit ADC with 9 Channels and configurable alarm thresholds Regulator Supervision with automatic under and over voltage protection Coin Cell/Super-Capacitor Backup Charger      -40 to +85°C Temperature range 100VFBGA 8.0x8.0x1.0mm (0.8mm pitch) package Block Diagram DA9063: For more information: http://www.dialog-semiconductor.com/products/power-management/DA9063
