Product details
Overview
MC32PF3000A2EPR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for i.MX 7 processors with LPDDR3 memory, integrating four buck regulators (SW1A/B up to 2.75 A combined), six LDOs, RTC supply (VSNVS, 3.0 V), DDR reference (VREFDDR, 0.5–0.9 V), and coin-cell charging. It delivers full-system power for application processors, memory, and peripherals in compact consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MC32PF3000A2EPR2 datasheet, MC32PF3000A2EPR2 pinout, MC32PF3000A2EPR2 application, or MC32PF3000A2EPR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP-programmable startup sequence, dynamic voltage scaling support for core rails, I²C-configurable regulator voltages, and wettable-flank 48-QFN packaging for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The MC32PF3000A2EPR2 implements SMARTMOS technology with OTP-based configuration for fixed startup behavior and runtime I²C reprogramming. Its SW1A/SW1B architecture supports both independent operation (1.0 A / 1.75 A) and parallel mode (2.75 A), enabling flexible core voltage delivery for i.MX 7 SoCs requiring LPDDR3 interface compliance.
Regulator control includes programmable PWM/PPM/APS modes, soft-start sequencing with 0.5 ms or 2.0 ms slot resolution, and fault-interrupt signaling via INTB. The VCC_SD LDO supports dual-voltage SD card operation (1.8 V or 3.3 V) via SD_VSEL, while VREFDDR derives from SW3 output for precise DDR termination.
Key Specifications

| SD_VSEL | Digital input (VDDIO-referenced) | Selects VCC_SD output: 1.8 V/1.85 V (high) or 2.85–3.3 V (low); enables dual-voltage SD card support |
| RESETBMCU | Open-drain reset output | Deasserts 2.0 ms after final regulator enable; indicates full power rail readiness to i.MX 7 |
| SW1ALX / SW1BLX | Analog switch node outputs | Connect to shared inductor in parallel mode or separate inductors in independent mode; defines SW1A/B topology |
| VREFDDR | Analog reference output | Provides 0.5×SW3_OUT for DDR3L termination; bypassed with 1.0 μF capacitor to GND |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Ground return for buck/boost regulators; must connect to internal/external ground planes via multiple vias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33PF3000A7ES | Automotive-grade (-40 °C to 105 °C), same OTP option 7 (i.MX 6UL with DDR3L), identical pinout and register map | Qualified for automotive infotainment; requires AEC-Q100 documentation and extended temp validation | Select when operating above 85 °C or requiring automotive qualification; no hardware change needed |
| MC34PF3000A8ES | Industrial-grade (-40 °C to 105 °C), OTP option 8 (i.MX 6UL with DDR3), differs in DDR voltage mapping and startup defaults | Targeted for industrial gateways with DDR3 memory; lacks LPDDR3-specific timing calibration | Choose for DDR3-based i.MX 6UL designs; verify VREFDDR derivation and SW3 ramp rate compatibility |
Compared with MC32PF3000A2EPR2, MC33PF3000A7ES offers extended temperature operation without functional trade-offs, while MC34PF3000A8ES supports DDR3 instead of LPDDR3-requiring validation of memory interface timing and OTP startup parameters.

FAQ
What is the primary target processor for MC32PF3000A2EPR2?
MC32PF3000A2EPR2 is specifically configured for the NXP i.MX 7 application processor with LPDDR3 memory interface. Its OTP programming (option A2) sets startup sequences, voltage levels, and timing parameters aligned with i.MX 7's power requirements, including SW1A/B parallel operation for core voltage and VREFDDR derivation from SW3 output.
Does MC32PF3000A2EPR2 support both DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory types?
No - MC32PF3000A2EPR2 is pre-programmed for LPDDR3 (OTP option A2). While the underlying PF3000 silicon supports multiple memory types via OTP, this specific variant configures VREFDDR, SW3 ramp rate, and startup timing for LPDDR3 compliance. DDR3L support requires MC32PF3000A1ES or MC32PF3000A3ES variants.
How is the VCC_SD regulator voltage selected on MC32PF3000A2EPR2?
VCC_SD output voltage on MC32PF3000A2EPR2 is selected dynamically via the SD_VSEL pin: logic high yields 1.8–1.85 V for UHS-I SD cards, while logic low selects 2.85–3.3 V for legacy SD interfaces. The SD_VSEL buffer is powered by VDDIO, defaulting to high (1.8 V mode) if VDDIO is absent.
Can MC32PF3000A2EPR2 operate without an external coin cell?
Yes - MC32PF3000A2EPR2 functions fully without a coin cell, but VSNVS will be sourced from VIN and lost during main power interruption. For persistent RTC operation during battery removal or power loss, a coin cell must be connected to LICELL and properly biased per the datasheet's VSNVS power path requirements.
What package type and thermal features does MC32PF3000A2EPR2 use?
MC32PF3000A2EPR2 uses a 48-pin QFN package (98ASA00933D) with 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm footprint and wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Its exposed thermal pad (EP) serves as the primary ground return for buck/boost regulators and must be connected to inner/outer ground planes via ≥6 thermal vias to maintain junction temperature within specification under full load.
