Product details
Overview
MC33PF3000A0ES from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for i.MX 6UL application processors with LPDDR2 memory, delivering four buck regulators (SW1A: 1.0 A, SW1B: 1.75 A, SW2: 1.25 A, SW3: 1.5 A), six LDOs including V33 (350 mA) and VCC_SD (100 mA), and integrated DDR reference (VREFDDR). It supports dynamic voltage scaling, OTP-programmable startup sequencing, and operates across −40 °C to +105 °C for automotive-grade embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF3000A0ES datasheet, MC33PF3000A0ES pinout, MC33PF3000A0ES application, or MC33PF3000A0ES equivalent, this page delivers verified regulator configurations, I²C-address programmability, VSNVS 3.0 V always-on rail, coin-cell charging capability, and wettable-flank QFN-48 package details - all critical for i.MX 6UL-based automotive infotainment and telematics power design.
Technical Context
The MC33PF3000A0ES implements a multi-rail architecture with configurable SW1A/SW1B pairing (independent or combined 2.75 A), PWM/PSM/APS switching modes, and programmable soft-start ramp rates (25 mV/2 μs or 4 μs). Its OTP memory stores startup sequence timing, output voltages, and PWRON edge/level configuration - eliminating external configuration components.
It integrates dedicated analog blocks: VREFDDR (0.5×SW3_OUT, 10 mA), VSNVS (3.0 V, 1.0 mA always-on), and a coin-cell charger (LICELL), while supporting VPWR front-end LDO operation via external P-MOSFET (LDOG control) for input voltages up to 5.5 V. I²C interface (address 0x08–0x0F) enables real-time register access alongside direct logic control (INTB, RESETBMCU, STANDBY).

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MC33PF3000A0ES?
The MC33PF3000A0ES supports two input configurations: 2.8 V to 4.5 V when powered through the VIN pin, or 3.7 V to 5.5 V when using the VPWR pin with an external P-MOSFET controlled by the LDOG output. This dual-input flexibility allows seamless integration into both low-voltage battery-powered and higher-voltage automotive supply architectures without redesigning the front-end stage.
How does the MC33PF3000A0ES handle DDR memory reference voltage generation?
The MC33PF3000A0ES generates VREFDDR as 0.5× the SW3 output voltage, delivering a precise 0.5 V to 0.9 V range at 10 mA - fully compliant with LPDDR2 specifications. The VREFDDR output is internally derived and buffered, eliminating need for external resistor dividers or op-amps, and its accuracy is maintained across temperature and load variations inherent in i.MX 6UL memory subsystems.
Can the MC33PF3000A0ES be used with i.MX 7 processors?
Yes, the MC33PF3000A0ES is part of the PF3000 family explicitly designed for both i.MX 7 and i.MX 6SL/SX/UL processors. While its OTP programming option "0" (unprogrammed) requires customer configuration, the underlying regulator capabilities - including SW1A/B core rails, VREFDDR, VSNVS, and I²C interface - are fully compatible with i.MX 7 power requirements and pinout conventions.
What is the purpose of the LICELL pin on the MC33PF3000A0ES?
The LICELL pin on the MC33PF3000A0ES serves as a bidirectional interface for a backup coin cell battery: it charges the cell when main power is present and draws from it to maintain VSNVS during power loss. This ensures continuous operation of the i.MX 6UL's secure non-volatile storage and real-time clock, preserving critical state and timekeeping even during extended vehicle ignition-off periods.
Does the MC33PF3000A0ES include built-in protection features?
Yes, the MC33PF3000A0ES integrates multiple hardware protections: overcurrent protection (OCP) on all buck regulators with fault interrupt (INTB), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on VIN/VPWR, thermal shutdown, and programmable soft-start to limit inrush current. These are implemented in analog circuitry and do not rely on firmware, ensuring robustness during cold cranking or load transients in automotive environments.
