MMPF0100F0AEP

The MMPF0100F0AEP is NXP’s flagship 14-channel configurable Power Management Integrated Circuit from the PF0100 series, built on SMARTMOS technology. It is pre-programmed with the F0 OTP configuration, specifically designed to power NXP i.MX 6Quad and i.MX 6Dual application processors in consumer and industrial applications. The device integrates six buck converters (SW1A/B/C configurable up to 4.5 A for processor cores, SW2 at 2.0 A for system rails, SW3A/B configurable at 2.5 A, and SW4 at 1.0 A with DDR tracking), a boost regulator (SWBST) delivering 5.0 V at 600 mA for USB-OTG supply, seven general-purpose LDOs (VGEN1-VGEN6 plus VSNVS) for peripheral power, and a VREFDDR reference for DDR memory termination. The on-chip OTP memory enables pre-configured start-up sequences and voltage settings, while the “Try Before Buy” feature allows designers to prototype different configurations before committing to final OTP programming. With its I2C interface, dynamic voltage scaling, programmable sequencing, and comprehensive fault protection, the MMPF0100F0AEP provides a complete single-chip power management solution that simplifies system design and reduces bill-of-materials count.

Power Generation Subsystem

The PF0100 PMIC generates all required supply rails from a single 2.8 V to 4.5 V input. The buck converters use PWM/PFM/APS modes for efficiency across load ranges: SW1A/B/C can be configured as single-phase (4.5 A), dual-phase, or independent converters to supply processor core voltages (0.3 V to 1.875 V). SW2 (0.4 V to 3.3 V, 2.0 A) powers system rails like SATA-flash or NAND interfaces. SW3A/B can operate in single-phase (2.5 A), dual-phase, or independent modes. SW4 (0.4 V to 3.3 V, 1.0 A) supports DDR termination tracking. The boost regulator SWBST generates 5.0 V to 5.15 V at 600 mA for USB-OTG from the main supply.

Linear Regulation and References

Six general-purpose LDOs (VGEN1-VGEN6) provide clean power for peripherals such as audio codecs, cameras, HDMI, USB, and Ethernet. VGEN1/VGEN2 cover 0.8 V to 1.55 V at 100 mA/250 mA; VGEN3-VGEN6 cover 1.8 V to 3.3 V at 100 mA to 350 mA. VSNVS supplies the RTC/SNVS domain (1.0 V to 3.0 V, 400 µA) with automatic switchover between main supply and coin cell. VREFDDR provides a precise 0.6 V to 0.9 V reference for DDR memory termination.

Control Logic and OTP Configuration

The device is fully programmable via I2C (address configurable from 0x08 to 0x0F). The OTP memory stores the start-up sequence, voltage settings, timing, and phasing configuration. The F0 OTP variant is pre-programmed for i.MX 6Quad/Dual reference designs. The “Try Before Buy” mechanism allows register-based configuration testing before permanent OTP fusing. PWRON supports level or edge-triggered mode. The state machine manages ON, OFF, standby, and sleep transitions with individually programmable regulator sequences.

Fault Detection and Protection

Each switching regulator includes over-current protection (OCP) with fault interrupt generation. Thermal monitoring triggers alerts at 110 °C, 120 °C, 125 °C, and 130 °C thresholds. The interrupt system reports faults via I2C registers with separate sense, state, and mask registers for comprehensive system diagnostics.
