Overview
The MC34708 Power Management
Integrated Circuit (PMIC) represents a
complete system power solution in a
single package. Designed primarily for
use with Freescale i.MX series of micro-
processors, the MC34708 integrates five
programmable buck converters and eight
low drop out (LDO) regulators for
providing power to the microprocessor,
graphics, peripheral and memory
devices, as well as other system
supplies.
The integrated switching mode charger
supports single cell applications with up
to 950mA of charge current, enabling
faster charging, while also providing for
dual-path operation. An integrated
coulomb counter measures the state of
charge of the battery.
The USB switch enables the use of a
single, mini or micro USB connector for
USB, UART and audio connections,
switching the relevant signals to the
connector depending on the type of
device connected. With support for the
Universal Charging Standard, the charge
current is varied automatically
depending on the capability of the
source. In addition, the MC34708 also
integrates a real time clock, coin cell
charger, a 22- channel ADC with 10-bit
resolution, 5V USB-OTG switcher, PWM
generator, touch-screen interface, status
LED drivers and a number of GPIO’s.
