Product details
Overview
MC32PF3000A6EP from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for the i.MX 6UL application processor with LPDDR2 memory interface. It integrates four buck regulators (SW1A: 1.0 A, SW1B: 1.75 A, SW2: 1.25 A, SW3: 1.5 A), six LDOs including VCC_SD (100 mA, dual-voltage), V33 (350 mA), and VSNVS (1.0 mA), plus DDR reference (VREFDDR) and coin-cell charging. It powers full-system rails for industrial embedded designs requiring tight sequencing and low-quiescent operation.
For engineers reviewing the MC32PF3000A6EP datasheet, MC32PF3000A6EP pinout, MC32PF3000A6EP application, or MC32PF3000A6EP equivalent, this page delivers verified regulator configurations, OTP-programmable startup timing, I²C address flexibility (0x08–0x0F), dynamic voltage scaling support, and validated thermal performance in the 48-pin QFN wettable flank package.
Technical Context
The MC32PF3000A6EP implements SMARTMOS technology to deliver high-efficiency power conversion across its four synchronous buck regulators, with configurable SW1A/SW1B pairing (independent or combined 2.75 A mode) and programmable PWM/PPM/APS operating modes. Its OTP memory stores startup sequence, voltage setpoints, and PWRON edge/level configuration - eliminating external configuration components.
It supports system-level control via dedicated logic interfaces: open-drain INTB fault interrupt, RESETBMCU reset output (timer- or fault-triggered), STANDBY entry control, SD_VSEL for VCC_SD voltage selection, and PWRON with hardware debounce (up to 750 ms). The internal VREFDDR generator provides 0.5×SW3_OUT with ±1% accuracy for DDR memory termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
MC32PF3000A6EP uses a 48-pin QFN (98ASA00933D) with 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm footprint and wettable flank for automated optical inspection. Exposed pad (EP) serves as thermal and ground return path for buck/boost regulators.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| SW1ALX (Pin 8) / SW1BLX (Pin 9) | Switch node outputs | Connect to respective inductors; tied together when SW1A/B operate in combined 2.75 A mode |
| VCC_SD (Pin 33) | Dual-range SD card I/O LDO output | Output voltage selected by SD_VSEL pin state; bypassed with 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor |
| VREFDDR (Pin 25) | DDR memory reference voltage output | Provides 0.5×SW3_OUT with 1.0 μF capacitor to GND; critical for DDR signal integrity and termination |
| PWRON (Pin 48) | Power-on trigger input | Configurable for level- or edge-sensitive wake-up; supports mechanical switch debouncing up to 750 ms |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MC32PF3000A6EP?
MC32PF3000A6EP is rated for −40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation, making it suitable for consumer and industrial applications where extended thermal margins are not required. For designs needing −40 °C to +105 °C, the MC34PF3000A6EP variant is recommended.
How does MC32PF3000A6EP support i.MX 6UL with LPDDR2 memory?
MC32PF3000A6EP is pre-programmed (OTP code A6) to match the i.MX 6UL + LPDDR2 power tree: SW1A/B supply VCORE, SW2 supplies VDD_SOC, SW3 sets VDDQ, and VREFDDR derives from SW3 to meet LPDDR2 reference voltage tolerance. Startup timing aligns with i.MX 6UL boot ROM requirements.
Can MC32PF3000A6EP be used without OTP programming?
Yes - MC32PF3000A6EP ships with factory-programmed OTP (code A6) for i.MX 6UL + LPDDR2. No field reprogramming is needed; all regulator voltages, sequencing, and I²C address are fixed at power-on. User writes to functional registers (e.g., SW1AVOLT) allow runtime DVS, but OTP contents remain immutable.
What is the role of the VSNVS output on MC32PF3000A6EP?
VSNVS on MC32PF3000A6EP delivers a regulated 3.0 V @ 1.0 mA to the Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) domain of the i.MX 6UL. It can be powered from VIN or a backup coin cell, ensuring RTC operation, tamper-detection circuitry, and cryptographic key retention during main power loss or deep-sleep states.
Does MC32PF3000A6EP support USB On-The-Go (OTG)?
Yes - MC32PF3000A6EP includes SWBST, a 5.0–5.15 V, 600 mA boost regulator with OTG support. When enabled, SWBST powers the USB PHY VBUS line during host-mode operation, with PFM/Auto mode control and OCP fault interrupt reporting via INTB.
