Smarter Power For Smarter Vision: Powering SoCs And AI Processors

Machine vision is no longer limited to industrial applications—it is now central to consumer electronics, from smart home devices to wearables, AR glasses, and portable medical monitors. This shift drives unprecedented computational and power demands, especially as device form factors shrink and AI models become more complex. Edge AI devices must capture, process, and respond to data locally, requiring highly efficient, multi-rail power systems that balance performance, low standby power, and compact design.

Qorvo’s ACT88760 and ACT88911 PMICs are purpose-built to meet these challenges. The ACT88760 supports up to seven buck converters and six LDOs, delivering high-current support for AI processors and wireless modules, fast transient response for burst-mode workloads, ultra-low quiescent currents, and a tiny 3.78 mm × 3.78 mm footprint. Its flexible I²C interface, multifunction GPIOs, and built-in protections make it ideal for compact, always-on SoC designs.

The ACT88911 further expands multi-rail capabilities with 19 integrated regulators—including buck, buck-boost, boost, and load switches—enabling complex SoC and peripheral power requirements. Its high switching frequencies, ACOT control, low quiescent currents, and configurable sequencing optimize battery life and thermal performance, while advanced system management ensures safe operation under variable workloads.

Together, these PMICs allow designers to build AI-enabled, battery-powered devices with efficient power delivery, flexible control, and minimal footprint, accelerating time-to-market while supporting increasingly sophisticated edge computing and vision applications. Qorvo provides the power management solutions to help bring the next generation of intelligent, compact consumer and medical devices to life.
