Abstract :
In an application field where size, weight and battery duration often make the most relevant differentiation factors for the consumer, the paper gives a brief market overview of portable equipment, highlighting the integrated power management feature trends tied to the batteries, LCD technology evolution and increasing distributed power demand. Some examples of power management systems and battery charger topologies, underlining the possibilities offered by integrated mixed-mode technology evolution, are discussed. Finally, new possibilities offered by innovative packaging technologies that will help in further cost and size optimization are analyzed
