Why is NMI commonly pulled high on many ARM SoC schematics?
I've noticed that "AP-NMI" is pulled high on several ARM SoC schematics, and it is pulled high by the real-time clock (RTC) voltage, which is an always-on power domain (battery backup). Why is this?
I've also noticed that without NMI being pulled…

Single chip power good IC?
It seems like there should be a million chips for this, but for the life of me can't find any. I'm looking for a small (SOT23 or similar size if possible) IC that provides an active high when the supply voltage goes ABOVE a setpoint, and open…

BJT collector-emitter breakdown voltage
I'm developing a flyback converter with the FT838NB1 IC, and I got some doubts about the collector-emitter breakdown voltage of the integrated NPN switching transistor.
Absolute maximum ratings show that the collector to GND voltage can go to…

How to connect in serial two 2S Battery pack but charge them seperately?
I want to create a circuit that has input 12V DC and uses this voltage both charging two 2S (7.4V Li-Ion without balancing wire with BMS Circuit on the pack) batteries and at the same time supplying energy to the load.
When 12V DC is not connected…

Solder pad with no copper circles inside?
I'm trying to use a ROHM BD9F800MUX (buck PMIC regulator with synchronous regulation.)
Upon looking at their footprint guide, it has something I have not seen before and is poorly documented.
It appears they have a large solder pad with 3 circles…

Charging voltage across VM and VSS of AP9221SA-CC-HAC-7 is 0.6V even when USB charger is inserted
I am using AP9221SA-CC-HAC-7 PCM IC with 1-cell Li-ion battery (4.2V). I have battery charger (RT9471) after PCM IC and load connected after battery charger. The PACK+ and PACK- signals go the the battery charger supply pins. Load is never…

Interpreting thermal shutdown threshold values from TPS659037
I'm studying the datasheet of TI TPS659037 PMIC. The MIN / TYP / MAX values are throwing me off here. Are these 3 numbers indicating variations between every IC manufactured?
