Product details
Overview
MC32PF3001A1EPR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a fixed-configuration Power Management IC (PMIC) optimized for i.MX 7 processors with DDR3L memory, delivering three buck regulators (SW1: 2.75 A, SW2: 1.25 A, SW3: 1.5 A) and seven LDOs-including VCC_SD (100 mA, dual 1.8 V/3.3 V), V33 (350 mA), and VSNVS (1.0 mA RTC supply)-in a 48-pin QFN 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm wettable flank package. It enables full power sequencing for multimedia application processors in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 datasheet, MC32PF3001A1EPR2 pinout, MC32PF3001A1EPR2 application, or MC32PF3001A1EPR2 equivalent, this page provides verified regulator output voltages, OTP-programmed startup sequence (SW1_SEQ=1, SW2_SEQ=2, SW3_SEQ=5), I²C address (0x08), thermal management details, and validated alternative PMICs for i.MX 6/7 system designs.
Technical Context
The MC32PF3001A1EPR2 implements a fixed OTP-based power tree with pre-configured voltage rails and sequencing: SW1 delivers 1.10 V core voltage (A1 configuration), SW2 supplies 1.8 V for ARM cores and I/O, and SW3 outputs 1.35 V for DDR3L termination. All three buck regulators operate at 2.0 MHz PWM frequency with APS/PWM/PFM mode support and dynamic voltage scaling capability.
It integrates dedicated logic interfaces-PWRON (level-sensitive turn-on), RESETBMCU (2.0 ms post-startup deassertion), INTB (open-drain fault interrupt), and SD_VSEL (dual-range VCC_SD selection)-alongside a trimmed 16 MHz oscillator for timing-critical regulation and a 32 kHz clock for low-power states. The VSNVS rail supports battery-backed RTC operation with integrated coin cell charging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8 V–4.5 V (VIN) or 3.7 V–5.5 V (VPWR with external PFET); determines system-level input compatibility and front-end LDO usage |

| VCC_SD Output | 1.85 V / 3.3 V selectable via SD_VSEL; meets dual-voltage SD card interface requirements per JEDEC spec |
| V33 Output | 3.3 V @ 350 mA; supplies USB OTG PHY, GPIOs, and peripheral I/O rails with low-noise LDO regulation |
| VSNVS Output | 3.0 V @ 1.0 mA; provides always-on RTC and secure non-volatile storage power with coin cell backup capability |
| I²C Address | 0x08 (default OTP); enables host MCU communication for runtime voltage adjustment and fault monitoring |

Pinout & Package
MC32PF3001A1EPR2 uses a 48-pin QFN 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm wettable flank (WF-type) package (98ASA00933D) with exposed thermal pad (EP) tied to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin functions are defined per NXP PF3001 Rev. 5.1 datasheet Section 7.2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INTB (Pin 1) | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts low on overvoltage, thermal fault, or undervoltage; requires external pull-up for MCU notification |
| SD_VSEL (Pin 2) | Digital input control | Selects VCC_SD output range: HIGH → 1.80–1.85 V; LOW → 2.85–3.30 V for SDIO interface compatibility |
| RESETBMCU (Pin 3) | Open-drain reset output | Deasserts 2.0 ms after final regulator enable; synchronizes i.MX 7 exit from POR without real-time rail monitoring |
| SW1LX (Pins 8 & 9) | Buck switch node | Connects directly to SW1 inductor; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and switching losses |
| VIN (Pin 42) | Main supply input | Primary power source for all regulators when VPWR not used; bypassed with 1.0 μF capacitor to GND |
| VPWR (Pin 31) | Front-end LDO input | Enables >4.5 V input operation via external P-MOSFET; unused in standard 3.3 V/3.7 V battery systems |
| LICELL (Pin 36) | Coin cell interface | Charges and backs up VSNVS rail; bypassed with 0.1 μF capacitor; supports optional CR2032 integration |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & ground reference | Must be soldered to internal/external GND planes via multiple vias for thermal performance and noise reduction |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33PF3001A6ES | Automotive-grade (-40 °C to 105 °C), same OTP A6 config (i.MX 6UL + LPDDR2), identical pinout and register map | Validated for automotive infotainment head units; includes extended temp qualification and AEC-Q100 stress testing | Select when operating ambient exceeds 85 °C or automotive qualification is required; no PCB changes needed |
| MC34PF3001A6ES | Industrial-grade (-40 °C to 105 °C), OTP A6 config (i.MX 6UL + LPDDR2), identical electrical specs but different startup timing trim | Targeted at industrial edge controllers with longer thermal cycles; shares same footprint but uses distinct SEQ_CLK_SPEED (2000 µs vs. 500 µs) | Choose for harsh industrial environments where extended temperature stability outweighs i.MX 7-specific tuning |
Compared with MC32PF3001A1EPR2, MC33PF3001A6ES adds automotive qualification at the cost of higher unit price, while MC34PF3001A6ES trades i.MX 7 DDR3L optimization for broader industrial thermal resilience-neither offers direct i.MX 7 DDR3L support, making MC32PF3001A1EPR2 the only drop-in solution for that specific processor/memory combination.

FAQ
What is the default I²C address of the MC32PF3001A1EPR2?
The MC32PF3001A1EPR2 has a factory-programmed default I²C address of 0x08, consistent across all PF3001 variants. This address is hard-coded in OTP memory and cannot be altered. Communication requires standard open-drain I²C signaling on SDA (Pin 45) and SCL (Pin 46), pulled up to VDDIO (Pin 47) at 4.7 kΩ. The MC32PF3001A1EPR2 responds only to this address unless modified via special programming tools not supported in field operation.
Does the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for the core rail?
Yes, the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 supports dynamic voltage scaling on SW1-the 2.75 A buck regulator powering the i.MX 7 core. DVS is implemented via I²C writes to the SW1VOLT[4:0] register, enabling real-time adjustment between 0.7 V and 1.425 V in 25 mV steps. This feature is active in APS/PWM modes and allows the host processor to optimize power versus performance during runtime, as confirmed in Section 8.3.7 of the PF3001 datasheet Rev. 5.1.
How does the SD_VSEL pin affect VCC_SD output voltage on the MC32PF3001A1EPR2?
On the MC32PF3001A1EPR2, the SD_VSEL pin (Pin 2) directly selects the VCC_SD LDO output range: when pulled HIGH, VCC_SD delivers 1.80–1.85 V for high-speed SDIO interfaces; when pulled LOW, it delivers 2.85–3.30 V for legacy SD card compatibility. This selection is hardware-controlled and overrides OTP defaults-no I²C interaction is required. The buffer is powered by VDDIO, and absence of VDDIO forces SD_VSEL to default HIGH, ensuring safe low-voltage operation during power-up.
What is the purpose of the VPWR pin on the MC32PF3001A1EPR2, and when should it be used?
The VPWR pin (Pin 31) on the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 enables operation with input voltages up to 5.5 V by activating an external P-MOSFET-based front-end LDO. It must be connected to the main supply (e.g., 5 V rail) and used with LDOG (Pin 30) to drive the gate of the external FET. For standard 3.3 V or 3.7 V battery inputs ≤4.5 V, VPWR is grounded and VIN (Pin 42) serves as the primary input-using VPWR unnecessarily adds complexity and conduction loss.
Can the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 power both i.MX 7 and i.MX 6 processors?
Yes, the MC32PF3001A1EPR2 is explicitly qualified for i.MX 7 processors with DDR3L memory (OTP A1 config), but its architecture also supports i.MX 6 SoloLite, SoloX, and UltraLite families-as stated in Section 1 of the PF3001 datasheet. However, optimal performance requires matching the OTP variant to the target processor: MC32PF3001A1EPR2's fixed SW1_VOLT=1.10 V and SW3_VOLT=1.35 V are tuned for i.MX 7 DDR3L, whereas i.MX 6UL designs typically require A6/A7 variants with different core and DDR voltages.
