DESCRIPTION
The WM8310 is an integrated power-management subsystem
which provides a cost-effective, flexible, single-chip solution for
power management. It is specifically targeted at the
requirements of a range of low-power portable consumer
products, but is suitable to any application with a multimedia
processor. The WM8310 is designed to operate as a system
PMIC supporting a variety of industry-standard processors and
accessories in a wide range of consumer multimedia
applications.
The start-up behaviour and configuration is fully programmable
in an integrated OTP non-volatile memory. This highly flexible
solution helps reduce time-to-market, as changing application
requirements can be very easily accommodated in the OTP.
The InstantConfig™ interface enables an external EEPROM to
configure the WM8310.
The WM8310 power management subsystem comprises of
four programmable DC-DC converters, eleven LDO regulators
(four of which are low-noise for supplying sensitive analogue
subsystems). The integrated OTP bootstrap circuitry controls
the start-up sequencing and voltages of the converters and
regulators as well as the sequencing of system clocks.
WM8310 can be powered from a battery, a wall adaptor or
from a USB power source. An on-chip regulator provides
power for always-on PMIC functions such as register map and
the RTC. The device provides autonomous backup battery
switchover. A low-power LDO is included to support ‘Alive’
processor power domains external to the WM8310.
A linear on-chip battery charger supports trickle charging and
constant current / constant voltage charging of single-cell
lithium-ion / lithium-polymer batteries. The charge current,
termination voltage, and charger time-out are programmable.
WM8310 detects and handles battery fault conditions with a
minimum of system software involvement.
A 12-bit Auxiliary ADC supports a wide range of applications
for internal as well as external analogue sampling, such as
voltage detection and temperature measurement.
WM8310 includes a crystal oscillator, an internal RC oscillator
and Frequency Locked Loop (FLL) to generate clock signals
for autonomous system start-up and processor clocking. A
Secure Real-time Clock (S-RTC) and alarm function is
included, capable of system wake-up from low-power modes.
A watchdog function is provided to ensure system integrity.
To maximise battery life, highly-granular power management
enables each function in the WM8310 subsystem to be
independently powered down through a control interface or
alternatively through register and OTP-configurable GPIOs.
The device offers a standby power consumption of <10uA,
making it particularly suitable for portable applications.
The WM8310 is supplied in a 7x7mm 169-ball BGA package,
ideal for use in portable systems. The WM8310 forms part of
the Wolfson series of audio and power management solutions.
