Product details
Overview
MC33PF3000A6ESR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a pre-programmed power management IC (PMIC) optimized for the i.MX 6UL application processor 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, I²C programmability, and coin-cell backup for RTC.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF3000A6ESR2 datasheet, MC33PF3000A6ESR2 pinout, MC33PF3000A6ESR2 application, or MC33PF3000A6ESR2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its OTP-configured startup sequence for i.MX 6UL/LPDDR2, VPWR input support up to 5.5 V, wettable-flank 48-QFN package, and dedicated VSNVS 3.0 V always-on rail for secure real-time clock operation.
Technical Context
The MC33PF3000A6ESR2 implements a multi-rail architecture with configurable buck regulator pairing (SW1A/SW1B as independent or combined 2.75 A), programmable soft-start timing (0.5 ms or 2.0 ms per slot), and DVS-controlled core supply ramping (25 mV/2–4 μs steps). Its OTP memory stores startup sequence, voltage setpoints, PWRON edge/level configuration, and I²C address (0x08–0x0F).
It integrates a 5.0–5.15 V/600 mA boost regulator for USB OTG, a 3.0 V/1.0 mA VSNVS rail for SNVS domain power or coin-cell backup, and a 0.5×SW3_OUT DDR reference generator. All LDOs-including VLDO2 (0.80–1.55 V, 250 mA) and VLDO4 (1.8–3.3 V, 350 mA)-support system peripheral powering with VIN or switcher-derived inputs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MC33PF3000A6ESR2 uses a 48-pin QFN package (98ASA00933D), 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm, wettable flank, with exposed thermal pad (EP) tied to ground for thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INTB | Open-drain fault interrupt | Signals overcurrent, UVLO, or regulator fault to host processor; requires external pull-up |
| RESETBMCU | Open-drain reset output | Deasserts 2.0 ms after final regulator enable; indicates full power rail readiness to i.MX 6UL |
| PWRON | Power-on control input | Configurable edge- or level-triggered start; supports mechanical switch debouncing (up to 750 ms) |
| SD_VSEL | VCC_SD voltage select input | Chooses 1.8 V/1.85 V (HIGH) or 2.85–3.3 V (LOW) for SD card interface compliance |
| SCL/SDA | I²C interface | Enables runtime reconfiguration of voltages, sequencing, and operating modes post-boot |
| VIN / VPWR | Main power inputs | VIN accepts ≤4.5 V; VPWR + external PFET supports 3.7–5.5 V input without regulator stress |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MC33PF3000A6ESR2?
MC33PF3000A6ESR2 is rated for −40 °C to +105 °C ambient operation, qualifying it for automotive and industrial applications. This rating aligns with the MC33 prefix variant (as opposed to MC32 or MC34), and is confirmed in Table 1 of the PF3000 datasheet under "MC33PF3000A7ES" notes-where MC33-grade parts share the same 98ASA00933D package and thermal specifications. The A6ESR2 suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (R2) and i.MX 6UL/LPDDR2 OTP configuration.
Does MC33PF3000A6ESR2 support DDR3L memory?
No, MC33PF3000A6ESR2 is specifically programmed for LPDDR2 memory on the i.MX 6UL. Its VREFDDR output is derived from SW3 (0.5 × SW3_OUT), matching LPDDR2's VDDQ/2 reference requirement. DDR3L support requires MC33PF3000A7ESR2, which sources VREFDDR from SW2 and configures different startup timing and voltage setpoints per Table 1 of the datasheet.
Can MC33PF3000A6ESR2 be used with input voltages above 4.5 V?
Yes-MC33PF3000A6ESR2 supports up to 5.5 V via the VPWR pin when paired with an external P-channel MOSFET as a front-end LDO. The internal regulators remain protected at ≤4.5 V. When using VIN directly, the maximum is 4.5 V. This dual-input architecture is explicitly defined in Section 1 and Table 3 of the PF3000 datasheet.
How is the VCC_SD output voltage selected on MC33PF3000A6ESR2?
VCC_SD voltage on MC33PF3000A6ESR2 is selected dynamically by the SD_VSEL pin: logic HIGH yields 1.80–1.85 V (for UHS-I SD cards), logic LOW yields 2.85–3.30 V (for standard SD/SDIO). The SD_VSEL buffer is powered by VDDIO, and defaults to HIGH if VDDIO is absent-ensuring safe default behavior during power-up sequences.
Is MC33PF3000A6ESR2 pin-compatible with other PF3000 variants?
Yes-MC33PF3000A6ESR2 shares identical 48-QFN pinout, footprint, and thermal pad layout with all PF3000 family members (e.g., MC33PF3000A5ESR2, MC33PF3000A7ESR2). Differences are confined to OTP programming, not physical connectivity. This enables hardware reuse across i.MX 6SL/6UL/6SX platforms when supported by appropriate firmware and board-level decoupling.
