1 General description
The VR5510 is an automotive multi-output power management IC that focuses on gateway, in-vehicle networks, domain controllers, telematics, and vehicle-to-x (V2X) communications. The device includes multiple highefficiency switch modes and linear voltage regulators. It offers external frequency synchronization on inputs and outputs for optimized system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The VR5510 includes enhanced safety features with fail-safe outputs. The device covers automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) B and ASIL D safety integrity levels. It complies with the ISO 26262 standard and is qualified in accordance with AEC-Q100 rev H (Grade1, MSL3). The VR5510 can be fully utilized in safetyoriented system partitioning and can also be configured to operate as a nonsafety quality management (QM) version part.
The VR5510 is available in several versions that support various safety applications and offer numerous choices with respect to the number of output rails, output voltage settings, operating frequencies, and power-up sequencing.
