HPM10
The HPM10 is a high-performance power management IC manufactured by onsemi, designed for efficient energy regulation in compact and demanding electronic systems. It integrates advanced power conversion and control circuitry to deliver stable voltage output with minimal power loss, making it ideal for applications requiring high efficiency and thermal stability.
Core parameters include a wide input voltage range of 3.0 V to 24 V, supporting both buck and boost configurations depending on system requirements. The device features a maximum output current capability of up to 5 A, enabling it to power multiple loads simultaneously without performance degradation. Its switching frequency is programmable from 200 kHz to 2 MHz, allowing designers to optimize efficiency and reduce external component size while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Key features of the HPM10 include built-in over-current protection (OCP), over-voltage protection (OVP), and thermal shutdown mechanisms that ensure reliable operation under fault conditions. It also incorporates adaptive dead-time control and synchronous rectification to enhance conversion efficiency—typically exceeding 95% across various load conditions. The chip supports low quiescent current draw (< 100 µA), which makes it suitable for battery-powered devices where power conservation is critical.
The HPM10 is commonly used in industrial automation, consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive systems such as infotainment units or ADAS components. Its robust design and integrated protection features make it well-suited for harsh environments with wide temperature ranges (-40°C to +125°C). Additionally, the device offers a small footprint in a QFN package, simplifying PCB layout and reducing overall system size.
With comprehensive diagnostics via an I²C interface, the HPM10 enables real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and temperature, facilitating predictive maintenance and system health checks. This feature enhances system reliability and reduces downtime in mission-critical applications. The internal compensation network further simplifies design by eliminating the need for external loop compensation components, accelerating time-to-market for developers.
