IC Manages Power On PCI Adapter Cards

May 1, 2001
Designed to add power management capabilities to PCI adapter cards and other systems operating from multiple power sources, the CMPWR330 integrates two low-dropout regulators (LDOs) with a switch to deliver up to 400 mA of load current at a fixed 3.3V

Designed to add power management capabilities to PCI adapter cards and other systems operating from multiple power sources, the CMPWR330 integrates two low-dropout regulators (LDOs) with a switch to deliver up to 400 mA of load current at a fixed 3.3V output. The switch is implemented using SmartOR technology, which promises glitch-free regulated output with built-in hysteresis. Satisfying IAPC power management requirements, the device switches between one of three input sources on a priority basis.
Output is supplied from an internal LDO operating from either the 5V supply or a standby 5V input when available. If neither voltage source is available, a 3.3V auxiliary supply is selected. Available in a thermally-enhanced eight-pin SOIC, the power management IC costs $0.82 each/10,000 with a production lead-time of eight weeks ARO.
