ACT88325VA101-T

Overview

The ACT88325VA101-T is a specialized Power Management IC (PMIC) manufactured by Qorvo. It belongs to the Advanced PMIC series and features an integrated load bypass switch. The component is designed for high flexibility, allowing reconfiguration via I2C interface without PCB changes. It supports various application processor architectures and provides programmable power sequencing and low standby power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three DC/DC buck converters and two LDOs with configurable outputs
• Includes an integrated load bypass switch for system-level power routing
• Supports flexible I2C configuration for voltage, timing, and mode settings
• Features four programmable GPIOs for status reporting and control

Applications

• Application processors from manufacturers such as Silicon Motion and Ambarella
• Video processing systems requiring efficient power management
• Portable audio and video devices needing compact power solutions
• General-purpose embedded systems utilizing ActivePMU technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required for automated assembly. Confirm current lifecycle status as the base model ACT88325VA101 is marked as obsolete in some distributor records. Ensure compatibility with existing I2C addresses and default configurations provided by Qorvo factory documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a highly configurable PMIC is needed for complex application processors. It is suitable for designs requiring minimal external components and flexible power sequencing. Consider the WLCSP package size constraints and verify that the I2C interface meets the controller's communication requirements. Evaluate the need for the integrated bypass switch against discrete alternatives.

Part Context

This component is part of the ACT88325 family of ActivePMU power management units. It shares architectural similarities with other models in the series but offers specific pinout and configuration defaults tailored for certain application processor interfaces. The device emphasizes design-in flexibility and reduced bill-of-materials complexity compared to traditional multi-IC power solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The base model ACT88325VA101 is listed as obsolete. Check for active variants within the ACT88325 series such as ACT88325VA117SR or ACT88325VA120. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software register mapping differences between potential substitutes to ensure seamless integration into existing designs.
