Product details
Overview
MC33PF3001A6ESR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a pre-programmed Power Management IC (PMIC) optimized for i.MX 6UL processors with LPDDR2 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-voltage SD card support), 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 industrial embedded systems requiring stable, low-quiescent-current rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 datasheet, MC33PF3001A6ESR2 pinout, MC33PF3001A6ESR2 application, or MC33PF3001A6ESR2 equivalent, this page provides verified regulator output voltages (e.g., SW1 = 1.4 V, SW2 = 3.3 V, SW3 = 1.2 V per OTP A6), I²C programmability, dynamic voltage scaling, integrated coin-cell charging, and thermal/overvoltage protection-key selection criteria for i.MX 6UL-based designs.
Technical Context
The MC33PF3001A6ESR2 implements fixed OTP startup sequencing (SW1_SEQ=3, SW2_SEQ=3, SW3_SEQ=3, VCC_SD_SEQ=3) and uses a trimmed 16 MHz RC oscillator to derive switching frequencies (2.0 MHz for all bucks) and precise timing for DVS ramp rates (6.25 mV/μs). Its control logic integrates PWRON-level-sensitive turn-on, open-drain RESETBMCU (deasserted 2.0 ms after final regulator enable), and INTB fault signaling with maskable interrupts.
Power architecture separates high-current paths: SW1LX/SW2LX/SW3LX drive external inductors; GNDREF1/GNDREF2/GNDREF isolate analog references; VPWR supports optional front-end LDO via external PMOS (LDOG gate drive) for input voltages up to 5.5 V; and VSNVS operates as either 3.0 V LDO or bypass switch powered by VIN or coin cell (LICELL).

Pinout & Package
MC33PF3001A6ESR2 uses a 48-pin QFN 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm wettable flank (WF-type) package (NXP package code 98ASA00933D) with exposed thermal pad (EP) tied to ground for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin functions are defined per NXP PF3001 Rev. 5.1 datasheet Section 7.2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 INTB | Digital interrupt output | Open-drain fault indicator; asserts low on unmasked overvoltage, thermal, or short-circuit events |
| 2 SD_VSEL | Digital configuration input | Selects VCC_SD output: LOW = 2.85–3.3 V, HIGH = 1.8–1.85 V; defaults to HIGH if VDDIO absent |
| 3 RESETBMCU | Digital reset output | Open-drain active-low signal deasserted 2.0 ms after last regulator enables; used to release i.MX 6UL from POR |

FAQ
What is the default I²C address of the MC33PF3001A6ESR2?
The MC33PF3001A6ESR2 uses a fixed default I²C address of 0x08, as specified in Table 4 of the PF3001 datasheet Rev. 5.1. This address is hard-coded in OTP and cannot be altered. The MC33PF3001A6ESR2 supports standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C communication for register read/write operations, including dynamic voltage scaling control and fault status monitoring.
How does the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 support i.MX 6UL with LPDDR2 memory?
The MC33PF3001A6ESR2 is pre-programmed with OTP configuration A6, which sets SW1 to 1.4 V (core), SW2 to 3.3 V (I/O), SW3 to 1.2 V (LPDDR2 VDDQ), and VCC_SD to 3.3 V/1.85 V-matching the exact voltage and sequencing requirements of i.MX 6UL with LPDDR2. Its fixed startup timing (SEQ_CLK_SPEED = 2000 µs) ensures reliable memory initialization without software intervention.
Does the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 include battery backup capability?
Yes, the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 integrates a dedicated VSNVS regulator (3.0 V / 1.0 mA) with built-in coin-cell charging via the LICELL pin. When a coin cell is connected, the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 automatically trickle-charges it and switches to coin-cell power during main supply loss-ensuring continuous RTC operation and secure time-stamping in industrial and medical applications.
What package type and thermal features does the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 use?
The MC33PF3001A6ESR2 uses a 48-pin QFN 7.0 mm × 7.0 mm wettable flank (WF-type) package (NXP code 98ASA00933D) with an exposed thermal pad (EP). This pad must be connected to internal and external ground planes via multiple vias to enable effective thermal dissipation-critical for maintaining performance under continuous 2.75 A SW1 load and industrial temperature operation up to +105 °C.
Can the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 operate with a 5 V input supply?
Yes, the MC33PF3001A6ESR2 supports 5 V input via its VPWR pin using an external PMOS pass FET driven by the LDOG pin. This front-end LDO configuration regulates 5 V down to ≤4.5 V for internal regulators, protecting them from overvoltage. For inputs ≤4.5 V, the VIN pin is used directly-no external FET required. Both configurations are supported without hardware changes.
