POWER MANAGEMENT INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18137665 titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an operating method for a power management integrated circuit (IC). Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method starts by outputting a high-level enable signal for a first regulator.
- It then checks if the detection signal of a second regulator is high when the enable signal of the second regulator is low.
- If the detection signal is high, it changes the set values of both the first and second regulators for a parallel mode.
- The method sets the first and second regulators to the changed set values.
- Finally, it outputs a high-level enable signal for the second regulator.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power management in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
- Energy-efficient systems in IoT devices, wearable devices, and smart home appliances.
- Power optimization in automotive electronics, including electric vehicles.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient power distribution and regulation in complex electronic systems.
- Improved energy efficiency and battery life in portable devices.
- Enhanced power management capabilities in multi-regulator systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved power efficiency and performance of electronic devices.
- Extended battery life and reduced energy consumption.
- Enhanced control and flexibility in power management systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
An operating method of a power management integrated circuit includes outputting a first enable signal of a first regulator at a high level, determining whether a detection signal of a second regulator has a high level when a second enable signal of the second regulator has a low level, changing set values of the first regulator and the second regulator for a parallel mode when the detection signal has a high level, setting the first regulator and the second regulator to the changed set values, and outputting the second enable signal at a high level.
