Product details
Overview
MC32PF1510A5EPR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for i.MX 6UL processors with DDR3 memory, delivering three 1.0 A buck converters (SW1–SW3), three LDOs (LDO1–LDO3), VREFDDR (0.5–0.9 V), VSNVS (3.0 V), and USB_PHY regulation in a 40-pin QFN package. It supports dynamic voltage scaling on SW1/SW2, operates from −40 °C to 105 °C, and enables full-system power delivery for low-power IoT and wearable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MC32PF1510A5EPR2 datasheet, MC32PF1510A5EPR2 pinout, MC32PF1510A5EPR2 application, or MC32PF1510A5EPR2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its preprogrammed OTP configuration for i.MX 6UL + DDR3, 1.0 μA quiescent current in ULP mode, I²C programmability, and industrial temperature rating (−40 °C to 105 °C).
Technical Context
The MC32PF1510A5EPR2 integrates a front-end LDO (1500 mA, up to 6.5 V input, 22 V transient tolerance), three synchronous buck regulators with internal digital soft-start and selectable DVS modes, and three programmable LDOs-including LDO2P7 (2.7 V, always-on) and USBPHY (3.3 V or 4.9 V, 60 mA). Its OTP memory stores startup/power-down sequences, regulator voltages, and timing parameters.
Control logic implements user-programmable Standby, Sleep/Low-power, and Off (REGS_DISABLE) states via I²C interface, with dedicated signals including PWRON, STANDBY, ONKEY, WDI, INTB, and RESETBMCU. The device uses VSYS as primary input rail (2.5–4.5 V) derived from VIN (4.1–6.0 V), and features integrated coin-cell charging and RTC backup supply (VSNVS).

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC34PF1510A5EP | Same silicon, extended temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C), identical OTP programming (A5 = i.MX 6UL + DDR3) | Identical functional scope; differs only in qualification grade (consumer vs. industrial) | Select MC34PF1510A5EP for industrial deployments requiring full 105 °C operation and enhanced reliability screening |

FAQ
What is the OTP programming configuration of MC32PF1510A5EPR2?
MC32PF1510A5EPR2 is factory-programmed with OTP code A5, which configures it for use with i.MX 6UL processors and DDR3 memory. This includes preset startup sequence, regulator voltages (e.g., SW1 = 1.1 V core, SW2 = 3.3 V I/O), timing, and DVS settings optimized for that platform. No field reprogramming is supported.
Does MC32PF1510A5EPR2 support dynamic voltage scaling on all buck converters?
No-MC32PF1510A5EPR2 supports dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) only on SW1 and SW2. SW3 is fixed-output (1.8–3.3 V in 100 mV steps) and lacks DVS capability. DVS on SW1/SW2 enables real-time voltage adjustment to match i.MX 6UL core performance states, reducing dynamic power consumption.
What is the maximum input voltage MC32PF1510A5EPR2 can withstand on the VIN pin?
MC32PF1510A5EPR2 VIN pin withstands transient and DC inputs up to +22 V, per absolute maximum ratings. Its operational input range is 4.1 V to 6.0 V, with overvoltage lockout activating at 6.5 V (typical) and hysteresis of 50–250 mV to prevent chatter during brownout recovery.
How does MC32PF1510A5EPR2 manage power states like Standby and Sleep?
MC32PF1510A5EPR2 implements programmable power states via I²C commands and hardware control pins: STANDBY and PWRON initiate transitions between Normal, Standby, Sleep/Low-power, and Off (REGS_DISABLE) modes. Each state reduces active regulator count and quiescent current-e.g., ULP mode draws just 1.0 μA from buck regulators.
Is MC32PF1510A5EPR2 pin-compatible with other PF1510 variants such as MC32PF1510A2EP?
Yes-MC32PF1510A5EPR2 shares identical 40-pin QFN (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) packaging and pinout with all PF1510 variants (A0–A7), including MC32PF1510A2EP. Differences are limited to OTP configuration and temperature grade (A5 = industrial −40 °C to 105 °C), not mechanical or electrical interface.
