We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Power management devices", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Power MOSFET meets automotive challenges from NEC Electronics (Europe), which we summarised at the time by saying "Advanced architecture and advanced package manage heat dissipation and reduce power loss with a maximum on-resistance of 1.5mohm". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release Analogue companion cuts power for portable design from austriamicrosystems: "Latest integrated audio and power management device combines all system analogue functions required around a digital SoC for mobile entertainment products".
In December 2007, we covered the news from austriamicrosystems concerning its AS3518 - take a look at Codec/power management combo chosen for PNDs which says: "The AS3518 audio codec and advanced power management IC is chosen to power a reference design aimed at personal navigation devices and multimedia phones".
Take a look also at the news release from Oki Electric, Power management devices cut consumption, as well as Circuits protect portable devices from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), and Philippines plant set for major expansion from ON Semiconductor.
