What made you select the ACT88760 5V PMIC as a featured product?
I chose the Qorvo ACT88760 5V PMIC because it delivers the kind of flexibility and integration that makes designing complex power systems easier. When you’re designing for edge AI processors, smart home cameras, FPGAs, or SSDs, you’re balancing tight board space, thermal constraints, and increasingly diverse power rail requirements. The ACT88760 provides solutions to those challenges with seven high-efficiency buck converters, six LDOs, and ten configurable GPIOs all packed into one compact device.
This PMIC is designed for mid-power applications like AI-enabled video doorbells, portable vision systems, and connected home devices, all applications where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable. In these systems, power rails must be tightly managed to ensure the performance of SoCs, LPDDR5 memory, and sensitive analog blocks, all without compromising efficiency or battery life. The ACT88760 gives designers the headroom to scale, adapt, and accelerate time to market.
What really sets this device apart is its configurability. Using an I2C interface, nearly every parameter can be reprogrammed without a single PCB layout change, from startup sequencing to output voltage to sleep mode behavior. That means one hardware design can support multiple SKUs or platform variants with ease. And with output voltages down to 0.5V and input voltages as low as 2.6V, it’s well suited for modern processors with aggressive power profiles.
From a power engineer’s perspective, this level of integration and flexibility doesn’t just reduce BOM count and board space. It also simplifies validation and allows us to focus on optimizing performance instead of chasing down discrete power rail interactions. Whether you need high PSRR for noise-sensitive analog circuits, or dual-phase buck operation for higher-current digital loads, the ACT88760 provides power management engineers with the performance they need.
