Cost, device quality, voltage and current management, and solution size all take a big hit when discrete solutions are implemented. NXP’s line of reliable PMICs provides high-performance solutions and a quick time-to-market.
NXP’s family of PMICs offers reliable, highly integrated power solutions, as well as size optimization. Discrete power solutions, over time, are costly; provide subpar performance with potential for glitches and unexpected system failure, and tend to require 3-5x more space than PMICs. NXP’s PMIC power solutions are robust and easily implemented in small devices such as smart phones and tablets.
