1 LM10500 Overview

The LM10500 is a 5-A energy management unit (EMU) that actively reduces system level power consumption 
by utilizing a continuous, real-time, closed-loop adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) scheme. The LM10500 operates 
cooperatively with PowerWise

®

 AVS-compatible ASICs, SoCs, and processors to optimize supply voltages 

adaptively over process and temperature variations. The device is controlled through PWI 1.0 or PWI 2.0 
high-speed serial interface.

A typical power saving of 40% can be achieved when LM10500 is used with AVS-compatible ASICs, SoCs, and 
processors.

2 Adaptive Voltage Scaling Technology

PowerWise adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) technology is an advanced closed-loop technology for reducing 
active and standby energy consumption of digital processing engines and ASICs. Hardware performance 
monitor (HPM) is designed into the digital engine together with an advanced power controller (APC) to monitor 
the performance of the silicon based on process and temperature variation. Information is fed back to an energy 
management unit (EMU), which then sets the voltage precisely according to the needs of the processor. The 
AVS technology enables optimum power delivery to the processors, ASICs, and SoCs, which maximizes overall 
system energy savings. AVS technology is process and architecture independent.
