Renesas Electronics introduces the RAA215300 power management IC

     Renesas Electronics has introduced the RAA215300 PMIC (Power Management IC), which is optimized to complement Renesas' AI-designed RZ/V2L and RZ/G2L microprocessors (MPUs) - enabled applications. The new high-performance PMIC offers a wide range of features, including nine channels, a built-in charger, and a real-time clock. The high level of integration of new devices reduces design complexity and accelerates time to market for customers.

     The RAA215300 includes six step-down regulators, three Ldos, and a button battery/supercapacitor charger. It supports DDR4, DDR4L, DDR3, and DDR3L memory with dedicated VREF, VTT, and VPP tracks. The new PMIC supports four-layer printed circuit boards, thereby reducing costs. Because fewer system components are required on board, the high level of integration also improves system reliability.

     The RAA215300 combines with RZ/G2L, RZ/V2L and several other Renesas products to form a scalable SMARC (Intelligent Mobility Architecture) SoM system-level module with an AI design. In addition to the Renesas MPU and PMIC, the Winning package includes a power controller from Renesas, a USB PD controller, and a clock device. Renesas offers more than 250 of these winning combinations, including complementary analog, power, timing devices and embedded processing, with an easy-to-use architecture. They simplify the design process and significantly reduce design risk for customers in a variety of applications.

     "Our RZ/V2L and RZ/G2L MPU customers will enjoy the performance benefits and ease of design of the RAA215300," said Andrew Cowell, vice president, Mobility, Infrastructure and iot Power Business Unit, Renesas Electronics. "In addition, its high integration and rich feature set make it an excellent choice for consumer, industrial and SoM applications."
