MT6371P

  • The MT6371P is a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) designed by MediaTek, primarily for use in mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronics. The MT6371P integrates several power management functions in a single chip, making it a highly efficient solution for managing power distribution, battery charging, and overall power efficiency within these devices.

Product Description

The MT6371P is designed to handle the power management needs of modern mobile devices by integrating multiple power functions into a single IC. This integration simplifies the design of devices, saves space, and reduces the overall cost of the system. Here’s a more detailed look at the MT6371P’s capabilities:

Power Management and Voltage Regulation:

The MT6371P provides multiple DC-DC converters to efficiently convert the input voltage from the battery (typically 3.7V or 5V) to the required lower voltage levels for different components within the device, such as the CPU, GPU, and display. It also integrates LDO regulators to supply stable, low-noise power to sensitive circuits, ensuring reliable performance of components like audio systems or wireless communication modules.

Battery Charging Management:

The MT6371P features fast charging capabilities through support for popular charging protocols like USB-PD (USB Power Delivery) and Quick Charge. These technologies enable fast and efficient charging, reducing downtime for the device. At the same time, the PMIC includes various protection mechanisms to ensure that the battery is charged safely. Over-voltage protection ensures the battery is not charged beyond its rated voltage, while over-current protection prevents excessive current from damaging the battery or other components. Over-temperature protection ensures the device doesn’t overheat, particularly during intensive charging or usage.

Thermal Management:

Heat management is a crucial aspect of the MT6371P’s design. The IC features thermal sensors that monitor the device’s internal temperature. If the device begins to overheat, the MT6371P can throttle down performance or adjust charging speeds to prevent damage to the battery or the internal circuitry. The integrated thermal protection ensures that the device operates within safe temperature limits.

Efficiency:

The MT6371P is optimized for high power efficiency. Its DC-DC converters operate with high efficiency, meaning less energy is wasted as heat. This is particularly important in mobile devices, where battery life is a critical factor. Additionally, the low quiescent current ensures that the PMIC does not consume excessive power when the device is idle, contributing to better overall battery life.
