caption_attribution_description: English: Integrated circuit die of an Dialog Semiconductor PMIC. Host device for CPU('s) and other extensions for stable and efficient power supply. Note, unfortunately 20% of the silicon die broke off during the decapping process.
context_page_description: Power management integrated circuits are integrated circuits for power management. Although PMIC refers to a wide range of chips, most include several DC/DC converters or their control part. A PMIC is often included in battery-operated devices such as mobile phones and portable media players to decrease the amount of space required.
