Product details
Overview
MC33PF8100EQESR2 from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade 12-channel power management IC (PMIC) designed as the primary power solution for i.MX8QM processors with LPDDR4 memory (PMIC2 role). It integrates seven high-efficiency buck converters (SW1–SW7), four 400 mA LDOs, RTC supply (VSNVS), coin cell charger, watchdog timer, and ASIL B–compliant monitoring circuitry. It operates from a 2.7–5.5 V input and supports dynamic voltage scaling for CPU/GPU/memory rails in infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF8100EQESR2 datasheet, MC33PF8100EQESR2 pinout, MC33PF8100EQESR2 application, or MC33PF8100EQESR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact regulator specifications, validated HVQFN56 pin mapping, real-world automotive use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts - all grounded in NXP's PF8100 product data sheet Rev. 13 (March 2026).
Technical Context
The MC33PF8100EQESR2 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 overvoltage lockout. Its architecture separates safety-critical monitoring (voltage/thermal/ABIST) from regulation control, with independent PGOOD signaling per rail and programmable fault counters.
It features a 24-channel analog multiplexer for system diagnostics, OTP-configurable power-up sequence and soft-start timing, and dual-phase or triple-phase configuration capability across SW1–SW4 to support up to 7.5 A on CPU core rails. The I²C interface runs at up to 3.4 MHz with CRC protection and write-lock mechanisms.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the primary application target for MC33PF8100EQESR2?
The MC33PF8100EQESR2 is specifically configured as PMIC2 for i.MX8QM processors with LPDDR4 memory, powering DDR I/O rails (VDD_DDRIO0/1), VTT termination, and auxiliary supplies. Its OTP programming matches the LPDDR4 timing and sequencing requirements defined in NXP's MC33PF8100EQ.zip reference configuration - making it unsuitable for DDR4 or S32V234 platforms without redesign.
Does MC33PF8100EQESR2 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
Yes, MC33PF8100EQESR2 supports DVS on SW1 through SW6 - enabling real-time adjustment of output voltages during processor DVFS transitions. This is implemented via high-speed I²C writes to dedicated DVS registers, with typical update latency under 10 µs. SW7 does not support DVS due to its fixed 1.0–4.1 V range and independent control architecture.
How is the RTC supply (VSNVS) powered and configured on MC33PF8100EQESR2?
MC33PF8100EQESR2 provides VSNVS as a selectable 1.8 V, 3.0 V, or 3.3 V output (Pin 47), powered either from VIN or a coin cell connected to LICELL (Pin 46). The device includes a programmable coin cell charger with adjustable charge current and voltage thresholds - ensuring reliable RTC operation during vehicle battery disconnect or deep sleep modes.
What safety features does MC33PF8100EQESR2 implement for automotive use?
MC33PF8100EQESR2 implements ASIL B–compliant monitoring including independent voltage monitors per rail (with programmable OV/UV thresholds), thermal shutdown at TJ = 150 °C, watchdog timer with early-warning output (EWARN), and fail-safe output (FSOB) that asserts LOW during critical faults. It does not include ABIST on-demand or secure I²C - features reserved for PF8200 variants.
Can MC33PF8100EQESR2 be used with i.MX8QXP processors?
No - MC33PF8100EQESR2 is OTP-programmed for i.MX8QM with LPDDR4 memory (PMIC2 role). For i.MX8QXP, NXP specifies MC33PF8100FJES or MC33PF8100CCES as compatible alternatives. Using MC33PF8100EQESR2 with i.MX8QXP would result in incorrect power sequencing, unsupported voltage ranges, and potential boot failure due to mismatched OTP configuration.
