New architecture puts DSP in charge of
power
The Si825x family of single-chip digital power supply controllers combines the flexibility and programmability of a DSP with the fast response of a hardware-based controller.
This week at the Portable Power Developer's Conference (PPDC) Silicon Laboratories announced its entrance into the power market, offering the first of a family of products specifically designed for power control applications Based on a patented architecture, the Si825x family of single-chip digital power supply controllers combines the flexibility and programmability of a DSP with the fast response of a hardware-based controller

MCU incorporates high-resolution conversion
The C8051F350 is precision mixed-signal microcontroller that integrates an eight-channel, 24bit ADC with a high-speed 8051-compatible CPU.
This unique architecture enables the Si825x family of products to provide both digital power control and power management functions for most isolated and nonisolated switch-mode power supply topologies while consuming one-tenth the space and drawing less than 15% of the supply current of typical DSP solutions.
