ROHM's single-chip PMIC targets ultra-thin tablets

ROHM Semiconductor's BD2613GW, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), is currently in production. According to the company, the PMIC offers support for next-generation 14nm Intel Atom processor for ultra-thin tablets.

"This BD2613GW is a successor PMIC to the BD2610GW which supports Intel's current processor for tablets, the Intel Atom processor Z3700 series. This new single-chip PMIC integrates all of the essential power FETs into same WLCSP package as its predecessor, the BD2610GW. It is best suited for Android-based and Windows-based tablets using Intel's 14nm-based SoC, while offering the best-in-class cost optimization," said Takahiro Ota, director of ROHM LSI Corporate Strategy headquarters.

"Power management is an important vector for our platform designed for tablets. Intel is happy to collaborate with ROHM to provide great power delivery performance for our next generation Intel Atom processor for tablets," said Tom Shewchuk, Intel's director of Tablet Component Enabling.
