Work in progress!

Allow systems to dynamically control regulator power output in order to save power and prolong battery life.

Voltage Regulators take an input supply and produce a target voltage.

Which devices need Regulators?

  • Audio

  • WiFi

  • BT

  • HDMI etc.

Why do we need to drive the regulator?

  • Power saving

  • Hardware Interfacing

Which Devices need a dynamic regulator?

SD Card

Requires two supplies.

1.8v and 3.3v

But no need to change dynamically voltage.

Types of Regulator

  • PMIC

  • GPIO Regulator

  • SoC built-in regulator
