NXP Semiconductors MMPF0100F2AEPR2

Overview

MMPF0100F2AEPR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a 14-channel configurable power management IC (PMIC) designed for i.MX 6-based embedded platforms. It integrates six buck converters (including SW1A/B/C, SW2, SW3A/B, SW4), six linear regulators (VGEN1–VGEN6), coin-cell charger, RTC supply, DDR termination reference (VREFDDR), and I²C-controlled power sequencing - delivering full-system power for processors, memory, and peripherals in eReaders, IPTV, and industrial control applications.

For engineers reviewing the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 datasheet, MMPF0100F2AEPR2 pinout, MMPF0100F2AEPR2 application, or MMPF0100F2AEPR2 equivalent, key selection considerations include OTP-programmed F2 configuration for i.MX 6Quad/DualLite compatibility, 56-pin QFN 8×8 mm package with wettable flanks, thermal protection up to 125 °C junction, and support for DDR voltage tracking via VHALF/VINREFDDR.

Technical Context

The MMPF0100F2AEPR2 implements a programmable power tree with independent state machine control for startup, standby, and shutdown sequences. Its architecture includes dual-phase capable buck regulators (SW1A/B), dedicated DDR termination reference generation (VREFDDR), and integrated bias/reference blocks supporting core (VCORE/VCOREDIG), analog (VCOREREF), and SNVS (VSNVS) domains.

Control is executed via I²C interface (SCL/SDA) with interrupt-driven event handling (INTB, SDWNB, RESETBMCU) and processor-triggered signals (PWRON, STANDBY). OTP memory stores device-specific voltage levels, timing, sequencing, and DVS settings - pre-configured for F2 functionality targeting MCIMX6Q-SDP/SDB and MCIMX6DL-SDP reference designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.

Compared with MMPF0100F0AEPR2, the F2 variant provides optimized sequencing for i.MX 6SoloLite and tighter VGEN2 regulation; compared with PF0100AEP, it lacks errata fixes and has lower VSNVS current capability - making F2 suitable for cost-sensitive, volume-manufactured eReaders where legacy qualification is required.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for the MMPF0100F2AEPR2?

The MMPF0100F2AEPR2 is qualified for industrial operation from -40 °C to +85 °C ambient. This rating applies to the E-Type QFN package variant (AEP suffix) and is verified per JEDEC JESD22-A104. The device incorporates thermal protection that activates at 110 °C junction and forces shutdown at 130 °C to prevent damage. MMPF0100F2AEPR2 does not support the extended -40 °C to +105 °C range - that requires the ANES suffix variant.

Does the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 support DDR3 or DDR4 memory termination?

Yes, the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 supports DDR3 termination via its VREFDDR output, which is programmable to 0.675 V (DDR3L) or 0.75 V (standard DDR3) with ±1.5% accuracy. It does not support DDR4 termination, as DDR4 requires 0.6 V VREF with tighter tolerance and dynamic adjustment not implemented in the MMPF0100F2AEPR2's reference block. The VHALF and VINREFDDR pins enable tracking mode for DDR3 interfaces on i.MX 6 platforms.

Can the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 be used without I²C configuration?

Yes, the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 is fully functional without I²C communication because its F2 OTP configuration is factory-programmed to provide fixed voltages, sequencing, and timing. I²C is optional and used only for runtime adjustments (e.g., DVS, fault logging, or dynamic mode changes). All default power-up behavior - including VCORE ramp, VGEN regulator enable order, and DDR termination setup - is defined in OTP and executes autonomously after PWRON assertion.

What is the purpose of the LICELL pin on the MMPF0100F2AEPR2?

The LICELL pin on the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 serves as a bidirectional coin-cell interface: it accepts 2.0–3.6 V input from a CR2032 or similar cell to back up the VSNVS rail, and it provides trickle-charge current (typ. 10 µA) to maintain charge level. This ensures continuous RTC operation and secure non-volatile storage during main power loss. LICELL must be decoupled with a 100 nF capacitor and is not intended for primary power delivery.

How does the MMPF0100F2AEPR2 handle thermal events during operation?

The MMPF0100F2AEPR2 monitors die temperature continuously and asserts four distinct interrupt signals (THERM110I, THERM120I, THERM125I, THERM130I) via the INTB pin when crossing predefined thresholds. At 130 °C, it initiates an automatic shutdown sequence - disabling all regulators except VSNVS - to protect itself and downstream circuitry. These events are latched and readable via I²C registers INTSENSE0 and INTSTATUS, enabling host software to log faults or initiate graceful system suspend.
