Solution Overview

Problem

The miniaturization of electronic devices is hindered by the increasing number of passive elements and noise generated by wiring patterns in power management integrated circuits (PMICs), which limits their compactness and multifunctionality.

Innovation Solution

A composite electronic component is designed with a power stabilization unit comprising a capacitor and inductor connected in series, along with switch units that maintain a constant resonance frequency through switching operations based on capacitance and inductance changes, and a terminal unit that includes input, output, and auxiliary terminals to optimize component placement and reduce noise.
