NXP Semiconductor's PF4210 is a high-performance power management IC (PMIC) that is optimized to power systems based on the i.MX 8M family of applications processors. It can provide power for a complete system, including applications processors, memory, and system peripherals. Offered in consumer and industrial qualification grade, PF4210 integrates up to 6 programmable buck voltage regulators and 6 linear regulators. With on-chip, one-time programmable (OTP) memory, it is available in a pre-programmed standard version for i.MX 8M system support, or a non-programmed version to support custom start-up sequence. After start-up output voltages, current limit, switching frequency, and timing are programmable by I2C bus. A reference design and associated BSP (board support package) software are available demonstrating the robustness of the solution.
