This power design is for the Semidrive X9SP automotive system-on-chip (SoC) power rails using the LP87521-Q1, LP87562-Q1, and LP87563-Q1 power management ICs (PMICs). Additional bucks TPS62811-Q1 and TPS628501-Q1 as well as LDOs TPS74501-Q1 and TLV76733-Q1 are used to power other discrete rails not covered by PMICs. This power design assumes an input voltage of 5V (±5%). If the system input voltage is higher, for example a car battery, a buck converter as a pre-regulator needs to be used to generate a supply voltage of 5V. LM25149-Q1 can be used as a pre-regulator when powered directly from car battery. An additional smart diode controller such as LM74700-Q1 can be used to control external MOSFETS and provide power path ON or OFF control and overvoltage protection.
Features
- LP87562-Q1 has four buck converters configured to work as single 3-phase converter and a separate single phase converter.
- LP87563-Q1 has four buck converters configured to work as single 2-phase converter and two separate single phase converters.
- LP87563-Q1 has four buck converters configured to work as single 4-phase converter.
