5 Power Management Unit

The on-chip PMU integrates the battery (lithium-ion and lithium-polymer) charger, and voltage regulator. A power switch is used to switch over the power source between the battery (BAT_IN) and an adapter (ADAP_IN). The PMU provides current to drive two LEDs.

The battery charger supports various modes with features listed below:
  • Charging control using current sensor
  • User-programmable current regulation
  • High accuracy voltage regulation
  • Constant current and constant voltage modes
  • Stop charging and re-charging modes
The following figure illustrates the charging curve of a battery.
