Nordic Semiconductor nPM2100 Power Management ICs
Nordic Semiconductor nPM2100 Power Management ICs (PMICs) incorporate an ultra-efficient boost regulator and a range of energy-saving features to extend operating time significantly in non-rechargeable battery applications. The nPM2100 manages the power supply for low-power Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) or microcontrollers (MCUs). The PMIC is optimized for maximum efficiency and compact size and is configurable through an I2C-compatible Two Wire Interface (TWI). This interface enables easy access to configure advanced functions, including ship mode and accurate battery fuel gauging. The PMIC also provides two GPIOs that can be repurposed to direct control lines to time-critical control functions as an alternative to serial communication. Application examples for the Nordic nPM2100 include wireless mice/keyboards, consumer asset tracking, remote controls, and body-worn medical devices.Features
