HPM10
Power Management IC for
Hearing Aids
Introduction
HPM10 is a Power Management IC (PMIC) that provides a
highperformance solution for rechargeable batteries in hearing aids
and hearing implant devices. Responsible for generating the voltage
needed by the hearing aid, it manages the charging algorithms such
that the battery autonomy and the number of charging cycles are
optimized. The rechargeable chemistries supported include
silverzinc (AgZn), and lithiumion (LiIon). HPM10 also detects
zincair (ZnAir) and nickelmetal hydride (NiMH) batteries but
doesn’t charge them.
HPM10 includes a Charger Communication Interface (CCIF) to
inform the hearing aid charger about the charging progress. Other
battery information such as voltage levels, current levels, temperature,
and different types of battery failures can also be communicated.
HPM10 has the flexibility that allows easy integration into various
types of hearing aids. It can be used without any connection to the
main hearing aid digital signal processing (DSP), and manage the
switch on and off operation, as well as the battery EOL control
byitself. Closer integration and communication with the main
hearing aid DSP can also be obtained.

KEY FEATURES
Supports Multiple Battery Types: Can charge and manage
the power of multiple battery chemistries, including
rechargeable Liion and AgZn batteries. NiMH batteries
and disposable ZnAir batteries can be detected as well. An
automatic chemistry detection system recognizes the battery
type.
Flexibility to Support Multiple Battery Sizes: The
charging parameters should be updated depending on the
battery size. Parameters corresponding to one battery size
can be stored in an OneTime Programmable (OTP)
memory at customer site.
Power Supply: Provides a clean supply to the hearing aid
DSP. When a Liion battery is used, a stepdown capacitive
divider or Charge Pump is used, providing a voltage
between ~1.4 V and ~0.95 V. When a AgZn battery is used,
a linear regulator can be used, providing a 1.5 V max.
HPM10 can also directly provide the battery voltage to the
hearing aid DSP. Eg., when a ZnAir battery is used or if the
DSP can handle the voltage of a AgZn battery.
Charger Communication Interface: Communicates the
status of the charging process and battery voltage to the
hearing aid charger and allows user interaction with
HPM10.
Information sent in this mode includes:
Battery voltage level and charge current
Charge Mode phase
Battery chemistry type
Fault conditions
Battery Life Optimization: Highprecision current and
voltage sources are used to manage the battery charge curves
with the precision required to optimize battery life duration.
Battery Supervision: Ensures that the battery doesn’t fall
below critical levels. This helps to maximize battery life.
NonVolatile Memory (OTP): Stores charging
parameters, trim codes, and general product specific
settings.
Power On and Off Management: Based on a smart method
between HPM10 and the hearing aid DSP.

performance may not be indicated by the Electrical Characteristics if operated under different conditions.
3. During OTP programming, the maximum VDDP value is 5.7 V. This allows VDDP to be tied to VDD_OTP.
4. HPM10 is functional in this range, but is not supposed to meet specification in terms of voltages, currents, thresholds and precision.
5. We ensure that all parts will go into Deep Sleep Mode with a duration of the DS_EN signal longer than 100 us. However, 20 ms is the typical
minimum duration value, which means a typical part will trigger with a 20 us duration of DS_EN.

HPM10 USAGE IN A HEARING AID
HPM10 has the builtin flexibility to allow integration
within various sorts of hearing instruments. The battery door
can be sealed or unsealed. The hearing aid may have a
pushbutton or may not. HPM10 can be integrated with the
hearing aid DSP though dedicated communication lines, or
it can work independently from the hearing aid DSP. The
following list gives a few possible scenarios of integration:
Hearing Aid with a Push Button and Sealed
Battery Door:
Cradle Charging
When the hearing aid is inserted to the cradle, it will
charge. While charging, the hearing aid will turn off.
When the hearing aid is taken out from the cradle, it
will go into Deep Sleep Mode (HPM10 in Deep Sleep
Mode).
Power On/Off
To turn on the hearing aid, use the pushbutton.
Logic high at SWIN signal is detected and turns on
HPM10
HPM10 supplies the main DSP with VHA
To turn off the hearing aid, use the pushbutton.
Logic high at SWOUT sent to main DSP
Main DSP to send DS_EN to HPM10 to turn VHA
off
Store Shelf Mode
To put the hearing aid in Store Shelf Mode, the same
operation as turning the hearing aid off applies.
Battery
When battery goes EOL: the hearing aid will
automatically turn off (HPM10 in Deep Sleep Mode)
through two possible mechanisms:
HPM10 goes into Deep Sleep Mode to protect the
battery from over discharge
DSP detects low battery voltage and puts HPM10
into Deep Sleep Mode through the DS_EN pin
Hearing Aid with a Push Button and Unsealed
Battery Door:
Cradle Charging
When the hearing aid is inserted to the cradle, it will
charge. While charging, the hearing aid will turn off.
When the hearing aid is taken out from the cradle, it
will go into Deep Sleep Mode (HPM10 in Deep Sleep
Mode).
Power On/Off
When the battery is removed, the hearing aid will shut
down
When the battery is inserted, the hearing aid will go
into Deep Sleep Mode (HPM10 in Deep Sleep Mode).
To turn on the hearing aid, use the pushbutton.
Logic high at SWIN signal is detected and turns on

Hearing Aid without Push Button and Sealed
Battery Door
In this mode, it is possible that there won’t be any
communication lines between the DSP and HPM10.
Cradle Charging and Power On/Off
When the hearing aid is inserted into the cradle, it will
charge. While charging, hearing aid will turn off.
When the hearing aid is taken out from the cradle, it
will turn on.
Store Shelf Mode
To put the hearing aid in Store Shelf Mode
Trigger DS_EN on HPM10 interface either over
DSP or by bringing out the DS_EN pin in PCB. This
would put HPM10 into deep sleep mode resulting in
extended battery shelf life for the hearing aid.
Battery
When battery goes EOL, the hearing aid will
automatically turn off (HPM10 in Deep Sleep Mode)
through two possible mechanisms:
HPM10 goes into Deep Sleep Mode to protect the
battery from over discharge
DSP detects low battery voltage and puts HPM10 in
Deep Sleep Mode through the DS_EN pin
Hearing Aid without a Push button and an
Unsealed Battery
In this mode, it is possible that there won’t be any
communication lines between the DSP and HPM10.

Cradle Charging
When the hearing aid is inserted to the cradle, it will
charge. While charging, the hearing aid will turn off.
When the hearing aid is taken out from the cradle, it
will turn on.
Power On/Off
When the battery is removed, the hearing aid will shut
down
When the battery is inserted, the hearing aid will turn
on
Battery
When the battery goes EOL, the hearing aid will
automatically turn off (HPM10 in Deep Sleep Mode)
through two possible mechanisms:
HPM10 goes into Deep Sleep Mode to protect the
battery from over discharge
DSP detects low battery voltage and puts HPM10 in
Deep Sleep Mode through the DS_EN pin
In all modes, when the device is removed from the cradle,
it will either immediately turn on or wait until the pushbutton
is pushed. This means that for the first and second use cases
(Hearing Aid with a Pushbutton and Sealed Battery Door
and Hearing Aid with a Pushbutton and Unsealed Battery
Door), the hearing aid manufacturer will be able to configure
HPM10 to directly switch on or wait for the pushbutton.
In case the hearing aid doesn’t have a pushbutton, once the
battery is fully charged and the hearing aid remains on the
cradle, HPM10 includes a system that compensates the
current drawn by its components detecting the cradle mode
exit. In this case, the hearing aid can be left on the charger
for an extended amount of time without any drain or extra
charge on the battery.
Wakeup on SWIN Pushbutton: In a hearing aid that
contains pushbuttons, HPM10 will wake up the entire
system (VHA active) from Deep Sleep Mode when SWIN
is closed to VBAT for 20 ms minimum.
Wakeup also requires a battery voltage appropriate for a
healthy battery.
For ZnAir or AgZn: VBAT > 1.1 V and VBAT < 2.2 V
For LiIon: VBAT > 3.0 V
Wakeup on Battery Insertion: Waking up HPM10 on
battery insertion requires an external capacitor from VBAT
to SWIN. The SWIN pull down is a large 2 MW resistor. The
time constant needs to be >200 ms (Cswin = 0.1 mF,
R = 2 Meg).

Figure 2. External Connection Required for a Proper Wakeup at Battery Insertion
This RC network effectively provide a high pulse of long
enough duration for the wakeup block on HPM10 to latch
ON and enable the DSP. Since the HPM10 latch on delay is
about 20 ms, a pulse of about 200 ms provides a large margin
to ensure that HPM10 reliably turns on.
During Hearing Aid Mode, if the battery discharges to its
endoflife then the DSP or HPM10 can trigger the Deep
Sleep. Once in Deep Sleep the only way to wake up (in case
there is no button) is to place in the charger.
Wakeup on Removal from Cradle: Waking up HPM10
when the hearing aid is removed from the charger requires
OTP bit “no_button’ to be set high. In this case, VHA will
be turned on.
If the OTP bit “no_button’ is set low, HPM10 will go in
Deep Sleep Mode, and VHA will not be activated.
Shutdown Warning: When the hearing aid is placed in the
Cradle, the output pad WARN signals the DSP that the
power will soon shutdown. This signal is a levelshifted
copy of the analog signal ‘CH_CONN’ (see Figure 3).
The time duration between the moment the WARN signal
is raised to logic “1”, and VHA being switched off, will
allow the hearing aid DSP to get ready for shut down. This
period of time will typically allow the hearing aid DSP to
manage datalogging or mute the audio without glitches. This
time period can be configured in the OTP with a resolution
of 0.5 seconds, with a min value of 0.5 seconds and a max
value of 127.5 seconds.

Figure 3. HPM10 State Machine
Deep Sleep Mode: A low power mode with all blocks
turned off. HPM10 can enter Deep Sleep Mode in one of
three ways:
From Hearing Aid Mode when the host DSP toggles the
DS_EN pin high. An example usecase for this
transition is when a program is running on the host
DSP, that determines that the hearing aid is not being
worn or the measured battery voltage is below a
specified value and puts the system into Deep Sleep
Mode to save power.
From Hearing Aid Mode when the battery voltage
drops below the EOL set point (VEOL level), for the
battery chemistry actively being used to avoid
irreversible battery damage. This is when VBAT<1.0 V
(for AgZN) or 2.2 V<VBAT<3.0 V (for LithiumIon).
This will draw the SAFE_MODE status bit to 0.
From Cradle Mode when the hearing aid charger is
removed, in case the OTP bit “no_button” is not set.
Cradle Mode: The hearing aid will enter in Cradle Mode
when the hearing Aid is physically connected to Cradle
(CH_CONN=1). In this mode, the hearing aid battery is
being charged.
Once in this state, the following sequence of processes
will occur:
The OTP is enabled and its contents are copied to
internal latches.
After the OTP contents have been read, a Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC) is made by the controller. If
it fails, the system transitions to completion phase in
Cradle Mode and an error flag is set.
If the CRC passes, the controller starts the charging
process.
The charging process is controlled by a controller and
firmware in ROM.
Hearing Aid Mode: The hearing aid DSP power is supplied
by HPM10 and there is no digital logic running on HPM10.
In this mode, the hearing aid is in normal operation mode and
receives its supply voltage from HPM10. HPM10 can enter
Hearing Aid Mode in two ways:
From Deep Sleep after SWIN goes high from a button
press. The battery voltage must be in a valid range.
From Cradle Mode after removed from Cradle with
OTP bit NO_BUTTON=1. The battery voltage must be
in a valid range.HPM10 is either clocked with the
Hearing Aid Mode Oscillator, or with the divided
EXT_CLK.
The recommended tasks for the host DSP in Hearing Aid
Mode are as follows:
Set the external clock division ratio (if desired) by
driving the 3 CLKDIV pins (*)
Apply a valid clock to EXT_CLK pin
HPM10
www.onsemi.com
12
Periodically monitor pin VHA using its onboard ADC
Monitor SWOUT to determine button press events
Monitor the WARN to determine if the hearing aid has
been placed in cradle, in which case the DSP should
shut itself down gracefully before HPM10 cuts the
power to VHA.
Toggle pin DS_EN to logical high (VHA level), if it
needs to put HPM10 into Deep Sleep Mode
(*): CLKDIV can be configured by the DSP (through GPIO
for example) or through physical connection.
In Hearing Aid Mode, voltage monitoring is used to prevent
turnon if battery voltage is not acceptable, and to control
the output mode of the VHA supply.
The voltage levels and modes are as follows:
1.0 V to 1.5 V The battery type could be AgZn, ZnAir,
or NiMH. A low impedance switch connects VBAT to
VHA to power the DSP.
1.5 to 2.2 V The battery type is likely AgZn. If pin
AGZN_REG_EN=floating, then the VHA voltage is
powered by a 1.5 V regulator. This is to protect those
DSPs that are not able to handle the unregulated AgZn
voltage. For those DSP that can handle maximum
AgZn battery voltages, the pin AGZN_REG_EN=0V
will enable the low impedance switch between VBAT
and VHA.
3.0 V and above. The battery type is Li_Ion. VHA is
powered by a divide by 3 step down converter.
VBAT voltages outside of these ranges will not enable the

these thresholds have hysteresis to ensure stable operation.

Interfaces to Host DSP
In Hearing Aid Mode, the SWOUT pin provides a level
shifted version of the SWIN pin. The SWOUT pin would
typically be connected to the host DSP’s GPIO pin so that the
button on the hearing aid connected to SWIN can also be
used for other functions such as memory select or volume
control.
The DS_EN input pin is provided for the DSP to trigger
Deep Sleep Mode:
It is active in Hearing Aid Mode only, it is ignored in
Cradle Mode
It is protected from glitches with a 100 msec deglitch
circuit
The host DSP will need to hold the pin high for greater
than 100 usec to put HPM10 into Deep Sleep Mode
It has a 100 kOhm pull down
During powerup it will be held low as it will be
connected to the host DSP’s GPIO pin with the
following assumptions:
The GPIO is by default in input mode during power
up
The resistance used for pullup is greater than 250
KOhm
After bootup, the host DSP configures the GPIO
pin as an output in a low state
If the GPIO pullup resistance is less than 250 kOhm, it
is necessary to add an external resistor to VSS such that
the ratio of pullup to pulldown resistance is more
than 2.5
DIV3 (Step Down Charge Pump)
In Hearing Aid Mode, the DIV3 stepdown charge pump
(CP) is used when LiIon batteries are used. The DIV3 CP
uses 2 external capacitors plus 1 decoupling capacitor to
divide the VBAT by a factor of 3. The output impedance of
the charge pump is fixed, and the VHA will track variation
in VBAT.
If VBAT is insufficient to power DIV3 CP, the DIV3 CP
will be shut off. Based on the Li_Ion discharge curve, the
battery is nearly discharged when VBAT<3.1V, and so a
threshold around 3.1 V would be acceptable for the DSP to
use as a turn off threshold. This is equivalent to 3.1/3=1.03 V
on VHA. The HPM10 turn off threshold is much lower
(typically 2.8 V) as a failsafe in case the DSP is unable to
turn off HPM10.
The DIV3 CP can only be activated when in Hearing Aid
Mode.
The input clock to DIV3 CP comes initially from the
hearing aid oscillator, which also is only active in HA mode.
After the DIV3 starts up and the DSP turns on, if there is
detected a clock signal on the EXT_CLK pad, it will be used
as the master clock in Hearing Aid Mode. When using the
EXT_CLK, the range of frequency can be as much as
2%/+95% due to the limited division steps.
AgZn Regulator
In Hearing Aid Mode, the AgZn regulator can be used to
limit voltage below 1.5 V when the voltage is above 1.5 V
(first discharge plateau). This regulator will be used in case
the hearing aid DSP input voltage range is limited to 1.5 V.
Disabling this regulator is done by tying the
AGZN_REG_EN pin to ground.
Note that if ZincAir or AgZn battery are used and
VBAT < 1.5 V, the AgZn regulator will not be used and the
VBAT will be shorted to the VHA. If VBAT > 1.45 V, the
AgZn regulator is enabled. Hysteresis has been added to all
these thresholds.
If LiIon battery is installed, the AgZn Regulator is
disabled and the DIV3 is enabled.
Slave I2C
In Cradle Mode or during debug: HPM10 has a slave I2C
port to allow an external host device to access all the HPM10
internal registers when in Cradle Mode. It is also used for
OTP burning, standalone test, and debug. When in Hearing
Aid Mode, the I2C is off.
Charger Communication Interface (CCIF)
This is a bidirectional interface that will communicate
the status of the charging process in Cradle Mode to the
hearing aid charger and allow user interaction with HPM10.
Normally, once the hearing aid is assembled and the battery
attached, this interface is the only means to monitor the
battery health. The CCIF will communicate with the hearing
aid charger using a superset of the ‘Qi’ (inductive power
standard) based communications protocol using an UART
type encoding. This protocol has been developed for
wireless charging systems. Although this version of HPM10
is only supporting wired charging, this protocol will be used
to facilitate an easier migration to a wireless charging mode.
The data rate is fixed to 2 kHz.
Some of the information sent in this mode is:
Battery voltage
Current levels
Ambient temperature
Accumulated charge
Charge mode phase
Battery chemistry type
Fault conditions
This communication supports data transfer between the
HPM10 and the Primary Charger. This physical link is the
VDDP power connection. Bidirectional communication
(halfduplex) is supported. The communication from the
HPM10 to Primary is using “load modulation”, where the
VDDP is loaded with a low valued resistor to represent a “0”.
The communication from Primary to HPM10 uses VDDP
voltage modulation.
HPM10 to Primary Charger (Transmit): The CCIF
digital signal (UART type) is converted into a modulated
HPM10
www.onsemi.com
14
load on the VDDP wired supply. This current modulation is
superimposed on the existing current that is used to charge
the battery. State transitions will cause short current
transient steps that need to be ignored by the Primary
Charger data detector. To support the HPM10 usage in a
wireless recharging device, an alternate interface has been
provided. It is composed of pad “CCIF” that is a digital
output duplicating the raw UART signal (i.e. not the
differential encoded data).
The CCIF pin can be configured in the OTP to provide a
static signal that can be used by the system to provide
information on the battery charge as follow:
CCIF Pin State Corresponding Information
HI Charge Complete
LO Fault
HIZ Neither
In OTP Burn mode (ATST_EN=HIGH), the CCIF pin is
used as an external reset input active LOW. This reset is
necessary during the OTP READ procedure and it is to
ensure that digital is in a known good state and the OTP
contents have been loaded before doing the read. The CCIF
pin, when in input mode, does not have a pullup or
pulldown resistor so it should not be left floating.
Primary Charger to HPM10 (Receive): The Primary
Charger can use voltage modulation of VDDP to transmit
data to the HPM10. HPM10 uses edge detection and AC
coupling to extract the data easily without a precise
amplitude requirement. This helps relax the requirements on
the drive signal and the loading of the VDDP line by the
Charge Control block. For robust pulse detection, the
rise/fall time of the 200 mV modulation should be less than
100 ms.
Battery Monitoring
HPM10 employs two methods of battery monitoring:
1. In Cradle Mode, the highprecision 10 bit ADC
continuously measures voltage and current to the
battery.
2. In Hearing Aid Mode, the system uses
instantaneous voltage to analog comparators to
perform simple detection of battery chemistry.
Refer to the Hearing Aid Mode section on page 19
for more information.
Figure 5 illustrates how the battery monitoring is done in
a hearing aid system using HPM10.

Figure 5. Battery Monitoring for Battery End of Life (EOL)
The hearing aid DSP will have to determine its Veol
threshold, and detect when the VBAT reaches this level.
From this point, the hearing aid DSP will have to manage its
battery EOL procedure (playing a beep users hear, managing
datalogging, etc.) before its toggles the DS_EN pin.
If the DS_EN pin hasn’t been toggled by the hearing aid
DSP and if the hearing aid DSP keeps on drawing power
from the battery, HPM10 will preserve the rechargeable
battery from overdischarging by forcing Deep Sleep Mode
when VBAT reaches Vsafety. In this mode, the VHA supply
is stopped (SAFE_MODE status bit = 0). Vsafety is 2.8 V for
LiIon and 1.0 V for AgZn.
Battery Charging Control
While in Cradle Mode, HPM10 controls the charging of
the attached battery. The charging cycle is different for each
battery type, with the charging phase transition points for
each chemistry (voltage, current temperature and time)
stored in OTP and available to the microcontroller in
Cradle mode.
The chemistries that are supported by HPM10 are
SilverZinc (AgZn) and LithiumIon (Liion). While
ZincAir (ZnAir) and NickelMetal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries are detected, they are not charged.

As shown in Figure 6, a charger state machine operates in
five phases to manage the charging process:
Startup (SU):
Battery type detection
OTP boot and CRC checking
Initialization (INIT):
Liion precharge (trickle)
Liion advanced charging algorithms
Overdischarge recovery for AgZn.
Phase 1 (PH1):
LiIon: Maintain a constant current and monitor the
voltage.
AgZn: Lower plateau (Ag2O) and transition zone
charging region
Exit if the voltage set point has been reached or
timeout has occurred.
Phase 2 (PH2):
LiIon: Maintain a constant voltage and monitor the
current.
AgZn: Upper plateau (AgO) charging region
Exit if the current set point has been reached or
timeout has occurred.
Completion (CMPLT): Battery charging process is
stopped. Any faults that occurred are stored and
communicated to the external charger.
If ZnAir or NiMH is detected, then the state machine
moves to completion phase.
The control loop for controlling the current and voltage
for the charging process consists of monitoring both current
and voltage with the ADC and controlling the current
supplied with a 10bit current DAC.

Clocking
HPM10 has two clock sources:
In Cradle Mode, the CM_CLK clock is coming from an
internal RC oscillator. This clock controls the charging
process (timing and state machine), since an accurate
time reference is required during this state. This clock
is used only in Cradle Mode.
In Hearing Aid Mode, the HA_CLK is either selected
from either an internal RC oscillator or a divided down
version of an external clock signal, EXT_CLK. The
external clock selection is automatic. If a clock is
detected on EXT_CLK it will override the internal
oscillator. The motivation for this selection is to have a
single clock in the combined system, to avoid pollution
on the supplies that will feed into the audio path. When
the external clock is used, it must be divided down so
the resultant frequency is in the same frequency range
as the internal clock (i.e. 64 kHz 2/+95%. The division
ratios that are possible are divided by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
128 and 256 (3 bits). The hearing aid manufacturer is
responsible for setting the appropriate ratio using the
CLKDIV[2:0] pins in order to use an external clock
pin. This can be done from the DSP or can be
connected on the printed circuit board. This clock is
used only in Hearing Aid Mode, and in OTP burn mode
(ATST_EN=VDDIO).
There is no clock active during the Deep Sleep Mode.
Supply Management
There are several forms of supply management on
HPM10:
Battery Charge Control: This block provides either a
constant current or constant voltage to the attached
battery. Both the current and voltage levels are
programmable when in their respective phases.
HPM10
www.onsemi.com
16
StepDown Charge Pump: A high efficiency charge
pump, generating a voltage equal to 1/3 of the battery
voltage is used for LiIon batteries. It supplies directly
to the hearing aid chip as the main power supply. The
output impedance of the charge pump is low (less than
10 ohms).
Digital Voltage Regulator: This block provides the
supply voltage to the digital logic, low voltage
bandgaps, oscillator, I/V sense, and ADC when in
Charge Mode
Hearing Aid Mode Voltage Regulator: This block
provides the supply voltage to all the analog blocks
when in Hearing Aid Mode.
Digital Interfaces
The digital inputs and outputs SDA, SCL and CCIF
are powered from the VDDIO supply pin, which can
be connected to DVREG or another available supply.
VDDIO is not used in Hearing Aid mode. When the
I2C interface is used for debugging, it is preferable
that VDDIO is powered externally to minimize
measurement errors.
The digital inputs and outputs SWOUT, DS_EN,
EXT_CLK, CLKDIV[2:0], AGZN_REG_EN and
WARN are powered from the VHA.
Voltage References: There are two bandgap voltage
references on the chip. One is a precision bandgap used
to generate the highprecision voltage references
needed for charging. It also generates other references
for the ADC, OSC, and current reference. A 1 V low
resolution bandgap is used in Hearing Aid Mode for
wakeup and Veol comparators.
General Purpose AnalogtoDigital Converter (ADC)
The general purpose ADC with input mux will allow the
state machine to properly manage the charging algorithm
based on analog measurements.
The signals being monitored include:
Battery voltage (VBAT)
Charge current
Internal temperature
Charger input voltage (VDDP)
VREF (from BandGap, used to calibrate ADC offset)
Power Domains
The input/output is divided into several independent
power domains, each with their own ESD clamping
structures to allow flexibility in the allowed voltages that
can be present on the pins, shown in Table 7.
Table 7. POWER DOMAIN DESCRIPTIONS
Power Domain Pins Description
VDDP DVREG Full voltage range
VDDIO SCL, SDA, CCIF, ATST_EN All digital input/output used in Cradle Mode
VHA SWOUT, WARN, DS_EN, EXT_CLK, CLKDIV[2:0],

Development Tools
A full suite of comprehensive tools is available to assist
developers from the initial concept and technology
assessment through to prototyping and product launch.
An Evaluation Board and a Charger Board are available
for customers to demonstrate, evaluate, and develop
products based on HPM10.
HPM10 Programming Interface: This application is
primarily used on the production line. It allows a technician
to program HPM10’s OTP predetermined register values. A
users manual will describe the product application features.
The communication between the PC and HPM10 will be
supported by either the Promira Serial Platform from
TotalPhase, Inc. or the Communication Accelerator Adaptor
(CAA) from ON Semiconductor. On the PC, the
communication box will use a USB interface. On HPM10,
the I2C interface of HPM10 will be used.
