Product details
Overview
MC33PF3000A5ES from NXP Semiconductors is a pre-programmed power management IC (PMIC) optimized for i.MX 6SL application processors with LPDDR2 memory, featuring 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 SD card support), and integrated DDR reference (VREFDDR: 0.5×SW3_OUT, 10 mA). It delivers complete system power for portable industrial and consumer edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF3000A5ES datasheet, MC33PF3000A5ES pinout, MC33PF3000A5ES application, or MC33PF3000A5ES equivalent, this page provides verified regulator configurations, OTP-programmed startup sequence for i.MX 6SL+LPDDR2, I²C-addressable control, dynamic voltage scaling, and wettable-flank QFN package layout guidance.
Technical Context
The MC33PF3000A5ES implements a fixed OTP configuration matching i.MX 6SL with LPDDR2 memory, enabling precise core (VCOREDIG/VCORE), SOC (VDD_SOC), DDR (VREFDDR), and peripheral (V33, VLDO2, VCC_SD) rail sequencing without runtime I²C reprogramming. Its SMARTMOS architecture supports three operating modes-PWM, PFM, and APS-for efficiency across load ranges.
It integrates a coin-cell charger (LICELL), always-on RTC supply (VSNVS: 3.0 V, 1.0 mA), and boost regulator (SWBST: 5.0–5.15 V, 600 mA) for USB OTG. Startup timing, voltage levels, and SW1A/SW1B independent operation are hard-coded in OTP, eliminating external configuration components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8–4.5 V (VIN) or 3.7–5.5 V (VPWR via external PFET); enables flexible main supply selection for battery- or adapter-powered systems |
| Core Buck Regulators | SW1A: 0.7–1.425 V / 1.0 A; SW1B: 0.7–1.475 V / 1.75 A; SW2: 1.5–1.85 V or 2.5–3.3 V / 1.25 A; SW3: 0.9–1.65 V / 1.5 A - powers i.MX 6SL CPU cores, SOC logic, and LPDDR2 I/O |
| VREFDDR Output | 0.5 × SW3 output voltage, ±1% accuracy, 10 mA - supplies precise DDR memory reference directly tied to core voltage scaling |
| VCC_SD Regulation | 1.80–1.85 V or 2.85–3.30 V, 100 mA - supports high-speed SD card interface with automatic voltage selection via SD_VSEL pin |
| I²C Interface | Configurable slave address (0x08–0x0F), open-drain SDA/SCL, 1.7–3.6 V VDDIO - allows multi-device bus integration without address conflict |
| OTP Configuration | Pre-programmed for i.MX 6SL + LPDDR2 startup sequence, PWRON edge-detect mode, RESETBMCU fault monitoring, and SW1A/SW1B independent operation |
| Package | 48-pin QFN, 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm, wettable flank (98ASA00933D) - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable solder joint formation |
Pinout & Package
MC33PF3000A5ES uses a 48-pin, 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm wettable-flank QFN package (98ASA00933D) with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation in compact portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 INTB | Open-drain interrupt output | Signals faults (OCP, UVLO, thermal) to host processor; requires external pull-up; active-low assertion clears only via I²C register write |
| 2 SD_VSEL | Digital input (VDDIO-referenced) | Selects VCC_SD output range: LOW = 2.85–3.30 V, HIGH = 1.80–1.85 V - enables dual-voltage SD card compatibility |
| 3 RESETBMCU | Open-drain reset output | Deasserts 2.0 ms after final regulator enable in startup sequence; asserts on persistent fault (>1.8 ms) - synchronizes processor release with stable power |
| 4 STANDBY | Digital input (active-high default) | Enters low-power Standby mode when asserted; retains VSNVS and RTC state; requires coin cell if VIN ≤ 2.85 V for reliable entry/exit |
| 35 SWBSTLX | Boost switch node I/O | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; supports 5.0–5.15 V, 600 mA OTG supply with PFM/Auto mode switching |
| 36 LICELL | Coin-cell charge/discharge terminal | Charges 3 V coin cell from VIN/VPWR; supplies VSNVS during main power loss - maintains RTC and secure non-volatile state |
| 45 SDA / 46 SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Enable runtime reconfiguration of non-OTP registers (e.g., DVS, soft-start ramp); require 4.7 kΩ pull-ups to VDDIO |
| 48 PWRON | Power-on trigger input | Edge-sensitive (OTP-configured) input: falling edge initiates startup; 4-second hold triggers Sleep/Off - supports mechanical key debounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP-Programmed i.MX 6SL Power Tree | Hard-coded startup sequence, voltage levels, and timing for i.MX 6SL + LPDDR2 - eliminates boot-time I²C initialization and reduces firmware dependency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33PF3000A6ES | OTP programmed for i.MX 6UL + LPDDR2 (not i.MX 6SL); identical pinout, package, and regulator specs | Targets i.MX 6UL-based designs; incompatible startup sequence and voltage mapping for i.MX 6SL | Select only if migrating from i.MX 6UL to i.MX 6SL is not required; verify OTP register map alignment before substitution |
| MC34PF3000A5ES | Automotive-grade (-40 °C to 105 °C), same OTP configuration (i.MX 6SL + LPDDR2), identical electrical specs | Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3; intended for automotive infotainment or ADAS edge nodes, not consumer/industrial | Use when extended temperature range or automotive qualification is mandatory; no electrical redesign needed but requires automotive sourcing |
Compared with MC33PF3000A5ES, MC33PF3000A6ES targets a different processor variant (i.MX 6UL vs. i.MX 6SL) and cannot substitute without firmware and power-tree validation, while MC34PF3000A5ES offers identical functionality with automotive qualification - making it suitable only where temperature or reliability standards exceed industrial requirements.

FAQ
What processor and memory configuration is MC33PF3000A5ES specifically programmed for?
MC33PF3000A5ES is factory OTP-programmed for the i.MX 6SL application processor with LPDDR2 memory. Its startup sequence, voltage levels (e.g., SW1A/SW1B core rails, VREFDDR tracking), and timing parameters are fixed for this exact configuration and cannot be altered post-manufacture without reprogramming - which is not supported in the field.
Does MC33PF3000A5ES support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for the i.MX 6SL cores?
Yes, MC33PF3000A5ES supports DVS for SW1A and SW1B buck regulators via I²C-controlled output voltage adjustment. The OTP configuration fixes initial startup voltages, but runtime DVS is enabled through the SW1AVOLT and SW1BVOLT functional registers, allowing software to scale core voltage in response to CPU load or thermal conditions.
Can MC33PF3000A5ES operate without a coin cell battery?
MC33PF3000A5ES can operate without a coin cell for normal powered operation, but Standby mode entry/exit becomes unreliable when VIN ≤ 2.85 V. The VSNVS rail (3.0 V, 1.0 mA) must remain stable to retain RTC and secure state; a coin cell is required for guaranteed low-VIN Standby functionality and uninterrupted real-time clock operation during main power loss.
What is the function of the SD_VSEL pin on MC33PF3000A5ES?
The SD_VSEL pin on MC33PF3000A5ES selects the output voltage range of the VCC_SD LDO: logic LOW configures 2.85–3.30 V for standard SD cards, while logic HIGH configures 1.80–1.85 V for UHS-I SD cards. This hardware-selectable dual-voltage capability eliminates external level-shifting circuitry and simplifies SD interface design.
Is MC33PF3000A5ES pin-compatible with other PF3000 variants like MC33PF3000A6ES?
Yes, MC33PF3000A5ES is pin-compatible with all PF3000 family members in the 48-pin QFN package (98ASA00933D), including MC33PF3000A6ES and MC34PF3000A5ES. Identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions allow direct PCB reuse - though OTP content (startup sequence, voltage maps) differs and must be validated per target processor.
