Renesas collaborates with Intel on power management solution

Renesas Electronics Corporation has announced a collaboration with Intel resulting in a power management solution that delivers best-in-class battery efficiency for laptops based on the new Intel Core Ultra 200V series.

Collaborating closely with Intel, Renesas has developed an innovative new customised power management IC (PMIC) that covers the entire power management needs for this newest generation of Intel processors. This advanced and highly integrated PMIC, combined with a pre-regulator and a battery charger, offers a complete solution for PCs leveraging the new Intel processor. The three new devices work together to provide a purpose-built power solution targeted at client laptops, particularly those running AI applications that tend to consume a lot of power.

The new devices include the RAA225019 PMIC, the RAA489301 high-efficiency pre-regulator, and theISL9241 battery charger. These devices have a feature set optimised for low-power mobile computing applications. Renesas solutions are backed by tested reference designs and strong application support.

The RAA225019 PMIC is highly configurable for Lunar Lake applications and features fully integrated power MOSFETs and current sensing circuitry. It supports high switching frequencies, making it well suited for small form factor applications without compromising efficiency.

The RAA489301 pre-regulator is a 3-level buck converter designed to provide an optimised voltage range for the RAA225019 PMIC. Its innovative architecture enhances thermal performance compared to traditional 2-level buck designs, and it supports a wide input and output voltage range. This allows for superior efficiency in compact, high-power-density applications, making it an ideal choice for demanding power solutions.

The RAA225019 PMIC, the RAA489301 high efficiency pre-regulator, and the ISL9241 battery charger are available today from Renesas. For more information, please visit https://www.renesas.com/power
