Programmable analog tile programming tool

Abstract

A programmable analog tile integrated circuit programming tool communicates a power management control characteristic query soliciting control requirement information for a novel power management integrated circuit (PMIC) tile in a multi-tile power management integrated circuit (MTPMIC). The programming tool receives a user response to the query indicating control requirements across a network. The novel PMIC tiles have a pre-defined physical structure including all memory structures required for configuration of each tile and a bus portion. When combined in a multi-tile power management integrated circuit (MTPMIC), the bus portions of the selected tiles automatically form a standardized bus that accommodates all signal communication required for a functioning MTPMIC. The memory structure of each tile is individually addressable via the standardized bus. Thus, in response to control requirements, the programming tool programs a PMIC tile that is part of a MTPMIC to meet the control requirements.
