Product details
Overview
MC32PF1510A6EPR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for i.MX 6ULL processors with DDR3L memory in low-power IoT and wearable systems. It integrates three 1.0 A buck converters (SW1–SW3), three LDOs (LDO1–LDO3), VSNVS (3.0 V/2.0 mA), VREFDDR (0.5–0.9 V/10 mA), USB_PHY LDO, and OTP-configurable power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MC32PF1510A6EPR2 datasheet, MC32PF1510A6EPR2 pinout, MC32PF1510A6EPR2 application, or MC32PF1510A6EPR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified regulator output ranges, I²C programmability, thermal ratings up to 105 °C, and confirmed compatibility with i.MX 6ULL + DDR3L reference designs.
Technical Context
The MC32PF1510A6EPR2 implements a multi-rail PMIC architecture with dedicated regulators for processor core (SW1/SW2 DVS-capable), I/O (SW3), memory interface (VREFDDR), real-time clock (VSNVS), and USB PHY biasing. Its OTP memory stores preprogrammed startup/shutdown sequences optimized for i.MX 6ULL with DDR3L timing and voltage requirements.
It supports dynamic voltage scaling on SW1 and SW2 for ARM core power optimization, operates across −40 °C to 105 °C, and uses a 40-pin QFN (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad. Input tolerance extends to +22 V DC transients on VIN, while VSYS accepts 2.5–4.5 V for buck regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.1 V to 6.0 V nominal; withstands 0–22 V DC transients - enables robust USB/adapter input handling without external protection. |
| SW1/SW2 Output | 0.6–1.3875 V (12.5 mV steps) or 1.1–3.3 V (variable steps); DVS support - matches i.MX 6ULL core voltage scaling profiles. |
| SW3 Output | 1.8–3.3 V (100 mV steps); no DVS - supplies stable I/O voltage for DDR3L interfaces and peripherals. |
| VREFDDR Range | 0.5–0.9 V @ 10 mA - precisely tracks half-VDDQ for DDR3L reference compliance. |
| VSNVS Output | 3.0 V @ 2.0 mA - powers RTC and maintains state during deep sleep with coin-cell backup capability. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 μA in ULP mode (SW1/SW2) - minimizes battery drain in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| OTP Configuration | Preprogrammed for i.MX 6ULL + DDR3L (Program Code A6) - eliminates runtime configuration overhead and ensures validated power-up timing. |
Pinout & Package
MC32PF1510A6EPR2 is housed in a 40-pin QFN package (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad (EPAD), optimized for thermal dissipation in space-constrained portable designs. Pin count and layout match NXP's PF1510 family standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main IC supply input | Accepts 5.0 V adapter/USB source; bypassed with 2.2 µF capacitor - primary high-voltage input path to front-end LDO. |
| VSYS | Main system input to buck regulators | Supplies SW1/SW2/SW3, LDOs, and analog core; requires 2×22 µF or 47 µF bulk capacitance - defines regulated rail foundation. |
| SW1FB / SW2FB / SW3FB | Voltage feedback inputs | Connect directly to respective output rails near load - enables precise closed-loop regulation and transient response tuning. |
| VREFDDR / VINREFDDR | DDR reference generator | VREFDDR outputs half of VINREFDDR; VINREFDDR must have ≥1.0 µF net capacitance - ensures DDR3L VTT tracking accuracy. |
| VSNVS | RTC and always-on supply | 3.0 V output with 0.47 µF bypass; supports coin-cell backup via LICELL - maintains timekeeping and secure state during main power loss. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Operates at 1.7–3.6 V; pulled up to VDDIO - enables runtime reconfiguration, status monitoring, and fault reporting. |
| EPAD | Thermal and ground return | Must connect to inner/external ground planes via multiple vias - critical for thermal performance and EMI control in high-efficiency switching operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three 1.0 A buck converters with DVS on SW1/SW2 | Enables adaptive core voltage scaling for i.MX 6ULL CPU clusters, reducing dynamic power by >30% vs fixed-voltage operation. |
| OTP-programmed startup sequence (A6 code) | Guarantees correct power-up order for i.MX 6ULL + DDR3L: VCORE → VDDIO → VREFDDR → peripherals - prevents latch-up or initialization failure. |
| VSNVS + LICELL integration | Provides seamless RTC backup with integrated coin-cell charging circuit - eliminates need for external battery management components. |
| USB_PHY LDO (4.9 V or 3.3 V, 60 mA) | Directly powers USB 2.0 PHY with <350 mV dropout and 75 dB PSRR - meets USB electrical compliance without external filtering. |
| −40 °C to 105 °C operating range | Validated for industrial-grade embedded applications including smart home gateways and ruggedized wearables - no derating required at full temperature span. |

FAQ
What is the primary target processor for MC32PF1510A6EPR2?
The MC32PF1510A6EPR2 is preprogrammed with OTP code A6 specifically for the i.MX 6ULL processor with DDR3L memory interface. Its power sequencing, voltage ranges, and timing parameters are validated against NXP's i.MX 6ULL reference designs, ensuring reliable boot and operation without custom configuration.
Does MC32PF1510A6EPR2 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
Yes, MC32PF1510A6EPR2 supports DVS on SW1 and SW2 buck converters, allowing real-time adjustment of output voltage in 12.5 mV steps between 0.6 V and 1.3875 V. This feature is essential for optimizing power consumption of the i.MX 6ULL ARM Cortex-A7 cores during varying workload conditions.
What is the function of the VREFDDR and VINREFDDR pins on MC32PF1510A6EPR2?
VREFDDR outputs a precision voltage equal to half of VINREFDDR, supporting DDR3L memory reference requirements. VINREFDDR must be supplied with ≥1.0 µF net capacitance to ground, and VREFDDR itself is rated for 0.5–0.9 V at 10 mA - ensuring accurate VTT tracking for stable DDR3L interface operation in MC32PF1510A6EPR2-based systems.
Can MC32PF1510A6EPR2 operate from a single-cell Li-ion battery?
No - MC32PF1510A6EPR2 requires a 4.1–6.0 V input on VIN for its front-end LDO and a 2.5–4.5 V VSYS supply for internal regulators. A single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) cannot meet the VIN requirement. Systems must use a boost converter or dual-cell configuration to generate the required 5 V input for MC32PF1510A6EPR2.
Is MC32PF1510A6EPR2 pin-compatible with other PF1510 variants?
Yes, all PF1510 variants - including MC32PF1510A6EPR2 - share identical 40-pin QFN packaging, pinout, and mechanical footprint. Differences exist only in OTP programming (e.g., A6 for i.MX 6ULL+DDR3L) and temperature grade (MC32 = consumer 85 °C, MC34 = industrial 105 °C), enabling hardware reuse across product tiers.
