LP5553
PowerWise® AVS Energy Management Unit with SPMI
General Description
Features
The LP5553 is a System Power Management Interface
(SPMI) compliant Energy Management Unit for reducing pow-
er consumption of low power hand held applications such as
dual-core processors and DSPs.
SPMI bus for system-level power management

High-efficiency PowerWise® Technology Adaptive
Voltage Scaling for intelligent energy management in AVS
and DVS environments
The LP5553 contains 2 advanced, digitally controlled step-
down DC/DC converters for supplying variable voltages to a
SoC. The device also incorporates 5 programmable low-
dropout, low noise linear regulators for powering I/O, periph-
eral logic blocks, auxiliary system functions, and maintaining
memory retention (dual-domain) in shutdown-mode.
Two digitally programmable 3.6 MHz buck regulators to
power dual voltage domains
Five Programmable LDOs for system functions such as:

Memory Retention
The LP5553 implements 2 Non-Request Capable Slaves that
are controlled via the SPMI. The LP5553 operates coopera-
tively with PowerWise® AVS technology compatible proces-
sors to optimize supply voltages adaptively (AVS - Adaptive
Voltage Scaling) over process and temperature variations. It
also supports dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) using frequen-
cy/voltage pairs from pre-characterized look-up tables.
