Description

This reference design demonstrates a validated and cost competitive power sequencing solution for an application processor or a high performance control platform. This solution supports 5 different voltage rails, optimized with layout space of 12 mm × 12 mm. This design is also capable of adjusting delay time and re-configuring specific voltage level for each rail to fit different input capacitors and different processors' requirements.

This reference design is based on TI's AM335x processor and WiLink8™ module WL1837MOD, building a high performance control platform, which is a benefit to bring more features and better performance in smart appliances or automation applications.
