The power management IC (PMIC) sector is a rapidly evolving part of our industry that is being driven by advancements in technology, changing consumer behaviors, and the ever-increasing demand for energy-efficiency. Picture this: a busy city with millions of residents. The whir of electric vehicles is heard gliding quietly as they shuttle people to modern, highly-connected offices that are powered by battery stacks situated close to buildings. Everything is being powered by renewable energy. It might seem futuristic, but it’s closer to reality than we think and it’s all going to be made possible by the PMIC architects, design engineers, validation experts, and strategic marketers who have a vision for this brighter, greener future. In that world, every electron counts and every joule is precious. So for the PMIC professionals looking to advance their careers in power, here are 7 of the key considerations affecting growth in this space: 1. Energy Efficiency: With growing concerns about climate change and energy consumption, PMICs are being designed to optimize power consumption, reducing energy waste and increasing overall system efficiency. 2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): The increasing adoption of AI and ML in various industries is creating a need for PMICs that can efficiently manage a system’s power consumption while processing complex algorithms. 3. Autonomous Vehicles: The growth of autonomous vehicles is driving the demand for PMICs that can efficiently manage power consumption, heat generation, and thermal management in these complex systems. 4. Power Density and Thermal Management: As devices become smaller and more powerful, PMICs must be designed to manage heat generation and thermal management to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation. 5. Security and Trust: With the increasing threat of cyberattacks, PMICs must be designed with security in mind, incorporating features like secure boot, secure firmware updates, and secure communication protocols. 6. Software-Defined Power Management: The increasing importance of software-defined power management is driving the need for PMICs that can be programmed and controlled through software, enabling more efficient power management and optimization. 7. Sustainability and Environmental Impact: The growing awareness of environmental sustainability is driving the need for PMICs that are designed with sustainability in mind, minimizing waste and environmental impact. These key considerations are shaping the PMIC sector and those who are driving innovation to meet the growing demands of various industries and applications. For curious engineers and leaders with backgrounds in PMIC design, applications, and product marketing: if you’re looking to take part in this revolution, you may want to explore some of our exciting roles in power by visiting: https://lnkd.in/gFVKq9VB #semiconductorindustry #powermanagement #PMIC

Kudos to Apple for pressuring TSMC to do the right thing. A great example that Scope 3 matters. Reducing carbon intensity in your product or service inputs helps others decarbonize which in turn helps the sector that you operate in decarbonize. TSMC also needs to directly generate more of its own power. Any excess power generation can flow as an inset to its Scope 3 customers like Apple and others. Not to mention financial benefits from lower cost power, and the financial advantages of being able to sell insets. Insets are just as effective as offset credits, but can only be tapped once you understand your Scope 3 emissions. Using insets from your supply chain can be applied to all scopes of your emissions, but they can only flow from upstream Scope 3 carbon removals. #sustainability #climateaction #strategy #carbonfootprint https://lnkd.in/ekuSBaHJ
