Abstract or Demonstration Description: Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are responsible for managing the power requirements for mobile systems while preserving the battery charge. New innovations in mobile PMIC devices such as integrating chargers makes a single device responsible for handling a plethora of requirements such as different charging schemes, modes and inputs, including wall, USB, and wireless. This component has become increasingly complex and embeds not only low drop out regulators, multi-phase DC-DC converters, USB fast chargers, general purpose analog to digital converters and communication interfaces but also other optional blocks such as LEDs, drivers, fuel gauges, and audio analog to digital / digital to analog converters. Testing high-performance PMICs requires high-density DC instruments with highly flexible merging capabilities to achieve high current. This presentation will discuss the trends and requirements driving PMIC innovation and test solutions that maximize yield for high quality chips at the lowest cost of test.
