power management ICs (integrated circuits)

Power management ICs (PMICs) are specialized chips that efficiently regulate and distribute electrical power within electronic devices. They consolidate functions like voltage conversion, battery monitoring, and power distribution into a single component, reducing space and complexity. By intelligently managing energy flow, PMICs extend battery life, improve device reliability, and optimize performance. They are commonly found in smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronics, ensuring that different parts of a device receive the correct power levels while minimizing energy waste.
