Product details
Overview
MC33PF8100FJESR2 from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade 12-channel power management IC (PMIC) designed for i.MX 8QXP processors with LPDDR4 memory. It integrates seven high-efficiency buck converters (0.4–1.8 V, 2.5 A each), four 400 mA linear regulators, RTC supply (1.8/3.0/3.3 V), 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.
For engineers reviewing the MC33PF8100FJESR2 datasheet, MC33PF8100FJESR2 pinout, MC33PF8100FJESR2 application, or MC33PF8100FJESR2 equivalent, this device delivers programmable startup sequencing via OTP, high-speed 3.4 MHz I²C configuration, thermal and voltage fault monitoring, and safety-critical diagnostics for infotainment and ADAS domain controllers.
Technical Context
The MC33PF8100FJESR2 implements a deterministic state machine for autonomous power-up/down sequencing, fault detection, and fail-safe transitions - including hard watchdog reset, critical thermal shutdown (TJ > 150 °C), and VIN overvoltage lockout. Its architecture supports multi-phase configurations: SW1–SW3 can be combined as triple-phase (7.5 A), SW1–SW4 as quad-phase (10 A), and SW6 in VTT termination mode for DDR memory interfaces.
It features 24-channel analog multiplexer (AMUX) for system-level diagnostics, ABIST for analog built-in self-test, and independent voltage monitors per regulator with programmable thresholds and response actions. The device uses OTP memory to store boot configuration, eliminating external resistive programming components and reducing BOM count.

FAQ
What is the primary processor compatibility for the MC33PF8100FJESR2?
The MC33PF8100FJESR2 is specifically configured for the i.MX 8QXP processor with LPDDR4 memory, as indicated by its OTP configuration file (MC33PF8100FJ.zip). It supports full power sequencing for CPU cores, GPU, memory I/O, and peripheral rails - matching the voltage and timing requirements defined in the i.MX 8QXP Reference Manual.
Does the MC33PF8100FJESR2 support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
Yes, the MC33PF8100FJESR2 supports DVS on SW1 through SW6 buck regulators. Each can be individually programmed via I²C to adjust output voltage in 6.25 mV steps, enabling real-time adaptation to processor performance states (e.g., P-states) without requiring hardware changes or OTP reprogramming.
What safety certifications does the MC33PF8100FJESR2 meet?
The MC33PF8100FJESR2 meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification and incorporates an ASIL B-compliant monitoring circuit - including independent voltage/thermal monitors, watchdog supervision, and ABIST - but lacks the full ASIL B hardware safety mechanisms (e.g., FSOB, secure I²C) found in the PF8200 family. It is intended for QM (Quality Management) applications with monitoring-level safety.
Can the MC33PF8100FJESR2 be used with DDR4 memory?
No - the MC33PF8100FJESR2 is OTP-configured for LPDDR4 memory on i.MX 8QXP, as confirmed by its ordering information and supporting ZIP file (MC33PF8100FJ.zip). For DDR4 support, NXP specifies variants like MC33PF8100CHES (i.MX 8QM + DDR4) or MC33PF8100ERES (i.MX 8QM + DDR4 PMIC1), which have different OTP maps and regulator tuning.
What is the role of the VSNVS and LICELL pins on the MC33PF8100FJESR2?
The VSNVS pin delivers a selectable 1.8 V / 3.0 V / 3.3 V always-on supply for the i.MX 8QXP's Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) domain, while LICELL accepts a coin cell (up to 4.2 V) to maintain RTC and backup memory during main power loss. The MC33PF8100FJESR2 integrates a programmable coin cell charger with configurable charge voltage and current via I²C.
