Product details
Overview
MC33PF8100CCESR2 from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade 12-channel power management IC (PMIC) designed for i.MX8QXP processors with LPDDR4 memory. It integrates seven high-efficiency buck converters (0.4–1.8 V, 2.5 A each), four 400 mA LDOs, RTC supply (VSNVS), coin cell charger, watchdog timer, and ASIL B-compliant monitoring circuitry. It powers CPU cores, GPU, DDR I/O, and peripherals in infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF8100CCESR2 datasheet, MC33PF8100CCESR2 pinout, MC33PF8100CCESR2 application, or MC33PF8100CCESR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases for i.MX8QXP-based automotive platforms, and validated alternative options - all grounded in NXP's PF8100 product data sheet Rev. 13.
Technical Context
The MC33PF8100CCESR2 implements a deterministic state machine for fault-aware startup, power sequencing, and fail-safe transitions - including hard watchdog reset, critical thermal shutdown (TJ > 150 °C), and VIN UVLO-triggered power-down. Its OTP memory stores boot configuration, eliminating external resistors for voltage/sequence setup.
It supports dynamic voltage scaling on six buck channels (SW1–SW6), triple-phase operation (up to 7.5 A on SW1–SW3), quad-phase mode (up to 10 A on SW1–SW4), and VTT termination on SW6. All regulators are configurable via 3.4 MHz I²C with CRC-protected writes and ABIST diagnostics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | VIN: 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports wide automotive battery range with UVLO at 2.7 V and OVLO protection up to 5.5 V. |
| Buck Regulators | 7 channels: SW1–SW6 (0.4–1.8 V, ±1.5 % accuracy, 2.5 A); SW7 (1.0–4.1 V, ±2 %, 2.5 A) - enables full-core, memory, and I/O rail coverage for i.MX8QXP. |
| LDO Regulators | 4 × 400 mA LDOs (1.5–5.0 V, ±3 %) with optional load switch mode - supplies low-noise analog, interface, and auxiliary rails. |
| RTC & Backup | VSNVS output (1.8/3.0/3.3 V, 10 mA) + LICELL input (≤4.2 V) with programmable coin cell charge current/voltage - maintains real-time clock during main power loss. |
| Safety Compliance | ASIL B monitoring circuitry: independent voltage monitors, thermal shutdown (150 °C), ABIST, I²C CRC, and fail-safe output (FSOB) - meets ISO 26262 requirements for QM systems. |
| Interface & Control | 3.4 MHz I²C bus with write protection; 24-channel analog multiplexer for system diagnostics; programmable soft-start/power-down sequences - enables runtime reconfiguration and health monitoring. |
| Package | HVQFN56, 8 mm × 8 mm × 0.85 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flanks - optimized for automotive thermal performance and solder-joint reliability. |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN56 package (SOT684-21), thermally enhanced, 56-pin, 0.5 mm pitch, 8 mm × 8 mm body with exposed pad (EPAD) connected to ground for thermal dissipation. Wettable flank design supports automated optical inspection (AOI) in automotive PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1FB–SW7FB | Buck feedback inputs | Enable precise closed-loop regulation of each buck output; support remote sensing for improved load regulation. |
| SW1IN–SW7IN | Buck input supplies | Accept main VIN or intermediate rails; require local decoupling and current-sinking capability during power-down. |
| SW1LX–SW7LX | Buck switching nodes | High dv/dt nodes requiring tight layout; tolerate −3.0 V transient spikes during dead time - demand low-inductance paths to minimize EMI. |
| LDO1OUT–LDO4OUT | LDO regulated outputs | Provide low-noise, fast-transient power for analog, I/O, and peripheral circuits; support load switch mode to disconnect downstream loads. |
| VSNVS, LICELL | RTC supply & backup input | VSNVS delivers stable 1.8/3.0/3.3 V to SNVS domain; LICELL accepts coin cell (≤4.2 V) with programmable charging for battery-backed retention. |
| SCL, SDA | I²C interface | Support 3.4 MHz Fast Mode Plus; include internal pull-ups and CRC-protected register access for safety-critical configuration updates. |
| FSOB, INTB, RESETBMCU | Fault signaling outputs | Open-drain outputs for fail-safe assertion (FSOB), interrupt notification (INTB), and MCU reset (RESETBMCU) - drive external logic or processor pins directly. |
| WDI, EWARN, XINTB | Watchdog & event inputs | WDI feeds MCU watchdog pulses; EWARN provides early warning before fault escalation; XINTB enables external interrupt-driven state transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP-configurable power tree | Eliminates 12+ external resistors and timing capacitors by storing boot voltage, sequence order, and timing in one-time programmable memory. |
| Dual/triple/quad-phase buck configuration | SW1–SW4 can be combined into multi-phase regulators delivering up to 10 A with reduced ripple and improved thermal distribution across PCB. |
| VTT termination on SW6 | Directly supplies DDR memory termination voltage (0.4–1.8 V) without external components - simplifies LPDDR4/DDR3L interface design. |
| 24-channel analog multiplexer | Enables real-time monitoring of internal voltages, temperatures, and external sensor signals - supports predictive diagnostics and field failure analysis. |
| ABIST and CRC-protected I²C | On-chip analog built-in self-test validates voltage monitors pre-boot; I²C writes require CRC checksums to prevent corruption of safety-critical registers. |

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the MC33PF8100CCESR2?
The MC33PF8100CCESR2 supports a main input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V on its VIN pin. This accommodates standard automotive battery conditions including cold-crank (down to ~6.0 V transient) and load-dump scenarios, with built-in UVLO at 2.7 V and OVLO protection activated above 5.5 V. The device is rated for continuous operation up to 5.5 V per JEDEC JESD78.
Does the MC33PF8100CCESR2 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
Yes, the MC33PF8100CCESR2 supports DVS on six buck regulators (SW1–SW6). Each channel can be programmed via I²C to adjust output voltage in 6.25 mV steps across its full range (0.4–1.8 V), enabling real-time optimization of CPU/GPU core voltage based on workload - critical for thermal management and energy efficiency in i.MX8QXP systems.
How does the MC33PF8100CCESR2 handle safety-critical faults?
The MC33PF8100CCESR2 implements ASIL B-compliant monitoring: independent voltage monitors trigger PGOOD faults, thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C junction temperature, and the FSOB pin asserts low during critical failures (e.g., VIN OVLO, watchdog timeout, or ABIST failure). These actions are governed by a deterministic state machine that enforces fail-safe transitions without MCU intervention.
Can the MC33PF8100CCESR2 power LPDDR4 memory on the i.MX8QXP?
Yes, the MC33PF8100CCESR2 is explicitly configured for i.MX8QXP with LPDDR4 memory per NXP's ordering table. It supplies VDD_DDRIO rails via SW5/SW6 (0.4–1.8 V), provides VTT termination via SW6, and delivers VSNVS (1.8/3.0/3.3 V) for the SNVS domain - fulfilling all power requirements defined in the i.MX8QXP Reference Manual for LPDDR4 interfaces.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MC33PF8100CCESR2 use?
The MC33PF8100CCESR2 uses the HVQFN56 (SOT684-21) package: 8 mm × 8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.85 mm height, with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 27 °C/W on a 4-layer board, enabling reliable operation up to 105 °C ambient with proper PCB copper area under the EPAD.
