Compact and innovative solutions for the next generation of AI personal computers

     Renesas Electronics has partnered with Intel to develop a power management solution that delivers best-in-class battery efficiency for laptops based on Intel's new Core Ultra 200V series. "Together with Intel, we are working on AI mobility solutions that allow every user to benefit from cutting-edge technology," said Tom Truman, vice president and general manager of Renesas Electronics Performance Computing Capabilities. This product demonstrates the depth and breadth of our power technology and highlights our ability to stay ahead of emerging market trends."

     Renesas worked closely with Intel to develop an innovative new custom PMIC that covers the entire power management needs of the latest generation of Intel processors. This advanced and highly integrated PMIC, combined with a pre-regulator and battery charger, provides a complete PC solution powered by a new Intel processor. The three new devices work together to provide dedicated power solutions for client laptops, especially those running AI applications that consume a lot of power.

     The new devices include the RAA225019 PMIC, RAA489301 high efficiency preregulator and ISL9241 battery charger. Their feature set is optimized for low-power mobile computing applications. Renesas solutions are backed by proven reference designs and robust application support.

     The RAA225019 PMIC is highly configurable for lunar lake applications and features a fully integrated power mosfet and current sensing circuit. It supports high switching frequencies, making it ideal for small size applications without compromising efficiency.

     The RAA489301 preregulator is a three-level buck converter designed to provide an optimized voltage range for the RAA225019 PMIC. Compared to traditional dual-level buck designs, its innovative architecture enhances thermal performance and supports a wide input and output voltage range. This allows for superior efficiency in compact, high power density applications, making it ideal for demanding power solutions.

     "With the introduction of the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, we are committed to providing our customers with the best battery life experience," said Josh Newman, vice president and general manager of product and platform marketing for Intel's Customer Computing Group. Together with Renesas, we have realized a solution that will lead to the next generation of innovative mobility platforms with unmatched energy efficiency."
