MC34PF3000A5EP

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The MC34PF3000A5EP is a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) from the PF3000 series, designed for NXP i.MX processors. It features a configurable architecture with four buck converters and six linear regulators. The device supports input voltages of 2.8V to 5.5V and delivers up to 7.2A total power across 12 channels. It includes an RTC supply, coin-cell charger, and boost regulator. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C in a 48-pin QFN package.

Power Management - Specialized Feature Summary

• Configurable architecture supporting multiple output current ratings and programmable voltage sequencing
• Integrated four-channel buck converters with forced PWM/PFM or APS mode operation
• Six user-programmable LDOs providing low power state retention and DDR reference capabilities
• I²C interface and input control for programmable output voltage, current limits, and timing

Power Management - Specialized Applications

• Powering Cortex A7 based i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual application processors
• Supporting single-core Cortex A9 i.MX processors such as i.MX 6DuaLite
• Providing system power for external memory and peripherals in medical applications

Power Management - Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EP against official NXP documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel versus tray configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target i.MX processor family before procurement. Confirm that the automotive, consumer, or industrial grade requirements are met by the specific part marking. Cross-reference the OTP customization settings if direct processor support is required.

Power Management - Specialized Selection Notes

Select this PMIC when designing systems with NXP i.MX 7 or i.MX 6SL/SX/UL processors requiring a single-chip solution. It is suitable for applications needing dynamic voltage scaling and low power state retention. Consider the 48-QFN package constraints and thermal dissipation requirements. Verify that the 2.75A output current per converter meets the load demands of the core and peripherals.
