Product Description
The CM3132 provides an integrated power solution for a
CPU core and DDR-I memory for consumer and other
embedded applications. It features three independent linear
regulators for V
CORE
, V
DDQ
and V
TT
supply regulation. The
default voltage for V
CORE
is 1.5V. The SENSE_CORE pin
can be tied to GND for the default voltage, or through a
resistor divider for setting the CPU core in the range 1.2V to
1.8V. V
DDQ
is internally set to 2.50V and the V
TT
voltage is
always half the V
DDQ
voltage. A capacitor should be con-
nected to each of the three outputs.
There are two enable pins, EN_CORE and EN_DDR. When
EN_CORE is set high, the CORE regulator is disabled.
When EN_DDR is set high, the two DDR regulators are dis-
abled to minimize overall system power dissipation when
memory is in standby mode. These two enable pins allow
power sequencing of the DDR and CORE regulator blocks
independently.
The CM3132 is available in a PSOP-8 package that has
excellent thermal dissipation.
It is available with optional
lead-free finishing.
