Low-Power Over-voltage Protection Module to handle Over-voltage operation (up to 3.63 V) while using standard process 1.8 V devices

Overview

Dolphin Design provides a complete Power Management IPs platform, toward three objectives:
To standardize and ease Power Regulation Network integration
To enable diverse optimizations
To reduce Time-to-Market
To avoid expensive solutions, such as additional mask layer or external regulators, the library features a cost effective alternative with a set of Over-voltage Protection Modules (OPM). These companions for regulators enable over-voltage operation while using standard process 1.8 V devices.
The OPM-Angel-AR-LP is optimized to be used for retention mode in low power applications.

Key Features

  • Over-voltage protection biasing for embedded regulators
  • Avoids expensive solutions while enabling direct battery connection.
  • Built-in over-voltage protection (up to 3.63 V) using 1.8 V transistors
  • Fixed 1.8 V regulated output voltage with 10% accuracy
  • Low-leakage for SoC retention mode
