MC33PF8100EAES - NXP 12-Channel PMIC, 7 Buck + 4 LDO, for i.MX8/S32x
In Stock - Ready to Ship
The MC33PF8100EAES is NXP's 12-channel power management IC (PMIC) purpose-built for high-performance processing applications. Integrating 7 buck regulators and 4 LDOs, it delivers complete power management for NXP i.MX8 and S32x application processors from a single 5V input. OTP pre-programmed with the exact voltage levels, power-up sequencing, and fault handling required by the target processor, it eliminates external sequencing and simplifies board design. AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, -40C to +125C operation, and the compact QFN-56 package make it the definitive power solution for automotive infotainment, digital clusters, telematics, vehicle networking, ADAS, and vision/sensor fusion systems.

Product Details
Complete i.MX8 Power Management in One Chip
The MC33PF8100EAES consolidates the entire power supply architecture for an i.MX8 application processor into a single QFN-56 package. Instead of designing 12 separate regulators with complex sequencing logic, engineers simply connect the PF8100 to a 5V rail and the processor — everything else is pre-configured.
OTP Pre-Programming: The voltage levels, ramp rates, and power-up/down sequences are burned into the device at the NXP factory, matched to the exact i.MX8 power tree requirements. This eliminates firmware bugs, reduces design risk, and accelerates time-to-market for automotive systems.
7 Buck + 4 LDO: The buck regulators efficiently step down the 5V input to core (0.8V), DDR (1.1V/1.2V), and I/O (1.8V/3.3V) rails, while the LDOs provide clean low-noise rails for analog, PLL, and peripheral circuits.
Key Applications
Automotive Infotainment — head units, navigation systems, media centers
Digital Instrument Clusters — virtual cockpit displays, HUD power management
Telematics & Vehicle Networking — V2X, gateway modules, connected vehicle
ADAS & Vision Systems — camera modules, sensor fusion, surround view
Industrial HMI — i.MX8-based industrial panels and controllers
S32x Domain Controllers — automotive zonal/domain compute modules

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MC33PF8100EAES used for?
A 12-channel PMIC providing complete power management for NXP i.MX8 and S32x processors. It powers automotive infotainment, digital clusters, telematics, vehicle networking, ADAS, and vision systems with 7 buck + 4 LDO regulators from a single 5V input.
How many power rails does it provide?
12 channels total: 7 buck (step-down) regulators and 4 LDO (linear) regulators. This covers all i.MX8 core voltage, DDR, I/O, analog, and peripheral rails from a single 5V input.
What is the difference between PF8100 and PF8200?
Both have 7 buck + 4 LDO channels. PF8100 targets i.MX8M/standard i.MX8; PF8200 targets higher-power i.MX8QuadMax/i.MX8QuadPlus. Same QFN-56 package, both OTP pre-programmed. Choose based on your specific processor's power requirements.
What does "pre-programmed" mean?
The MC33PF8100EAES is OTP pre-programmed at the NXP factory with the exact voltage levels, power-up sequencing, and fault handling required by the i.MX8 processor. This eliminates external sequencing logic and reduces design effort — power-up happens automatically in the correct order.
Is the MC33PF8100EAES automotive qualified?
Yes. AEC-Q100 qualified, operating -40C to +125C, used in production automotive systems including infotainment head units, digital instrument clusters, and ADAS compute modules.
