Product details
Overview
MC33PF3000A7ES from NXP Semiconductors is a power management IC (PMIC) engineered for i.MX 6UL application processors with DDR3L 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 coin-cell charging for RTC backup. It operates across –40 °C to +105 °C and supports dynamic voltage scaling for ARM core rail optimization in automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF3000A7ES datasheet, MC33PF3000A7ES pinout, MC33PF3000A7ES application, or MC33PF3000A7ES equivalent, this page delivers verified regulator output ranges (e.g., SW1A: 0.7–1.425 V, SW2: 1.5–1.85 V or 2.5–3.3 V), OTP-programmable startup sequencing, I²C address configuration (0x08–0x0F), and automotive-grade thermal performance in 48-pin QFN (7.0 × 7.0 mm, wettable flank).
Technical Context
The MC33PF3000A7ES implements SMARTMOS technology with configurable buck topology: SW1A and SW1B operate independently or combine into a single 2.75 A channel, while SW2 supports dual-voltage output ranges for DDR3L and SOC logic rails. Its OTP memory stores startup sequence timing (0.5 ms or 2.0 ms slot increments), soft-start ramp rates (25 mV/2.0 μs or 4.0 μs), and PWRON edge/level sensitivity configuration.
Control logic integrates direct interface signals-PWRON, STANDBY, RESETBMCU, INTB, and SD_VSEL-alongside I²C for runtime reconfiguration. The VSNVS regulator provides 3.0 V at 1.0 mA for secure real-time clock operation, and VREFDDR generates 0.5 × SW3_OUT (0.5–0.9 V) for DDR memory reference, both critical for i.MX 6UL automotive boot integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33PF3000A6ES | Rated for –40 °C to +105 °C but pre-programmed for i.MX 6UL with LPDDR2 (not DDR3L); lacks SW2 dual-range configuration for DDR3L I/O | Targets LPDDR2-based i.MX 6UL designs; unsuitable for DDR3L memory interface timing | Select only if system uses LPDDR2 and requires identical thermal rating |
| MC34PF3000A7ES | Identical electrical specs and pinout, but rated for –40 °C to +105 °C industrial use (not automotive); differs only in qualification test profile and labeling | Valid for industrial HMI or medical devices where AEC-Q100 is not mandated | Choose when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost-sensitive industrial sourcing is preferred |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MC33PF3000A7ES?
The MC33PF3000A7ES is qualified for –40 °C to +105 °C operation, meeting automotive under-hood and infotainment environmental requirements. This rating is explicitly defined in Table 1 of the datasheet for the "A7" variant and distinguishes it from consumer-grade (0–85 °C) and industrial-grade (–40–105 °C, non-AEC) versions. The MC33PF3000A7ES achieves this via process and packaging validation per AEC-Q100 standards.
How does the MC33PF3000A7ES support DDR3L memory power requirements?
The MC33PF3000A7ES supports DDR3L through two dedicated features: SW2 regulator with dual-output ranges (1.50–1.85 V or 2.50–3.30 V) for DDR3L I/O voltage selection, and VREFDDR output set to 0.5 × SW3_OUT (0.5–0.9 V) with 10 mA drive capability-matching JEDEC DDR3L reference specifications. These are pre-configured in OTP for i.MX 6UL + DDR3L systems.
Can the MC33PF3000A7ES be used with i.MX 6SL or i.MX 7 processors?
No-the MC33PF3000A7ES is OTP-programmed exclusively for i.MX 6UL with DDR3L (programming option "7" per Table 1). While the underlying PF3000 silicon supports i.MX 6SL and i.MX 7, the A7ES variant's startup sequence, voltage settings, and timing parameters are fixed for i.MX 6UL DDR3L. Using it with other processors would require non-standard OTP reprogramming, which is not supported post-manufacture.
What is the function of the SD_VSEL pin on the MC33PF3000A7ES?
The SD_VSEL pin on the MC33PF3000A7ES selects the output voltage range of the VCC_SD LDO: logic HIGH sets 1.80–1.85 V for high-speed SD card operation, while logic LOW sets 2.85–3.30 V for standard SD I/O. Its input buffer is powered by VDDIO, and defaults to HIGH if VDDIO is absent-ensuring safe low-voltage SD operation during power-up sequences.
Does the MC33PF3000A7ES include battery backup capability?
Yes-the MC33PF3000A7ES integrates a coin-cell charger via the LICELL pin and supplies the always-on VSNVS rail (3.0 V @ 1.0 mA) for secure real-time clock and SNVS domain retention. When a coin cell is connected, VSNVS remains active during main power loss, enabling fast wake-from-sleep and tamper-resilient timekeeping-critical for automotive and medical applications.
