PAC5223QM

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The PAC5223QM is a Power Application Controller (PAC) designed for motor, motion, and ignition control applications. It integrates a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller with power management peripherals and half-bridge drivers. The device operates within an input voltage range of 5.2 V to 70 V and supports output currents up to 1 A. Key interfaces include GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, and USB. It is housed in a TQFN-48 package and functions as a fan or motor controller/driver.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant when sourcing, as availability may vary by distributor. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling instructions prior to PCB placement. Ensure the development kit EP5223LVM1-1 is available if initial evaluation of the PAC5223 functionality is required.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select the PAC5223QM for applications requiring a combined MCU and gate drive solution within a 70 V system. Compare against the PAC5523QM if higher flash memory (128 kB vs. unspecified lower capacity in PAC5223) or extended temperature ranges are needed. Verify that the 1 A output current meets the load requirements, as other variants offer different current ratings.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

The PAC5223QM belongs to Qorvo's Power Application Controller (PAC) family, which integrates analog power management, MCUs, and drivers. It is often evaluated using the EP5223LVM1-1 development platform. Related parts in the series include the PAC5523QM and PAC52723, offering varying levels of memory and processing power.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The PAC5523QM is a related part with similar form factor but higher memory specifications. Direct pin-to-pin replacements should be verified against official substitution lists, as internal MCU resources differ between PAC5223 and PAC5523 series devices.
