Dialog and TDK integrate power sequencing device

Dialog and  TDK are integrating Dialog’s GreenPAK technology with TDK’s µPOL power devices to create, they claim, the world’s first single-integrated system power sequencing device. Traditional discrete solutions currently available on the market require an extensive array of components, which reduces board space availability, impacts system reliability and drives up manufacturing costs. Combining Dialog’s scalable, flexible GreenPAK ...
