The MMPF0100F6AEP from NXP Semiconductors is a 14-Channel Configurable Power Management IC that has been primarily designed for use with NXP’s i.MX 6 Series of application processors. This PMIC requires an input voltage of 2.8 - 4.5 V. It includes up to four buck regulators (up to six independent outputs), one boost regulator, six general-purpose linear LDOs, one switch/LDO combination, a DDR voltage reference, programmable interfaces, and a coin-cell charger to supply voltages for the application processor and peripheral devices. The number of independent buck regulator outputs of the PMIC can be configured from four to six, thereby providing flexibility to operate with high current capability or as independent outputs. It also includes a special buck regulator that can operate as a tracking regulator when used for memory termination.
The PMIC supplies power to the processor cores and other low-voltage circuits such as I/O and memory while utilizing the dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithm to allow controlled supply rail adjustments to the devices. It has an on-chip one-time programmable (OTP) memory that is available either in pre-programmed standard versions or as un-programmed versions to support custom programming. This PMIC can be fully controlled by an I2C interface with additional communication provided by a direct logic interface including interrupt and reset. It is available in a surface-mount package that measures 8 x 8 mm and is ideal for IPTV, tablets, eReaders, set-top boxes, industrial control, medical monitoring, home automation, alarm, and energy management applications.
