Why power management chips
•Power management chips are the interface between batteries and different chips (RF, Base-band and Digital)
•Different elements need special supply voltage and have also different requirements in terms of noise, power supply rejection ratio (PSRR)and quiescent current
•Each power function needs temperature protection, precise reference voltage(trimming)

Low-cost Process• Based on standard process
– 0.35um - 16kG/mmsq
– 3 or 4 Metal Layers
– 3.3V Low Voltage P/N MOS
– 5.5V Middle Voltage P/N MOS (to be compatible with Li-ion batteries)
– 17V (Drain-Source) High Voltage NMOS (Drain Extended - Gate-Source=5.5V,
to be compatible with low-cost charging devices)
• Options
– 17V High Voltage PMOS and Isolated-NMOS (Drain Extended)
– Poly1-Poly2 capacitors

Battery ChargersSource is AC/DC adapter
Pulsed : If VBAT is lower than 4.2V, the PNP ison for 10ms. If VBAT remains lower than 4.2V the PNP remains on until the voltage of the VBAT reaches 4.2V.At this point the PNP switch off for at least 10ms. Then if VBAT is lower than 4.2V, we switch on the PNP.
Continuous : Current loop followed by voltage loop

Conclusion
High performance linear and switched regulators are presented in a standard CMOS process. A new low-cost battery charger with pulsed method is presented and is compared with the linear method. These solutions were successfully integrated in the same chip with other features.The challenge for the future is to find new architectures to be implemented in 0.13um CMOS technology with low cost option of drain extended, for a one chip solution (RF + Base band + power management).
