nPM1300 Power Management IC

PMIC (Power Management IC) with advanced system management features, accurate fuel gauge capabilities, and battery charging

The nPM1300 is a power management IC (PMIC) that simplifies system design by integrating essential functions required for embedded Bluetooth Low Energy designs into one small package, enabling longer run times and efficient battery charging with fewer components.

The nPM1300 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 a range of advanced system management functions, including integrated hard reset functionality for one or two buttons, accurate battery fuel gauging, system-level watchdog, power loss warning, and recovery from failed boot. These functions are typically implemented as discrete components in Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) embedded designs, but the nPM1300 integrates them into a single, compact package, simplifying system design and reducing the number of required components.

The nPM1300 is designed to provide highly efficient power regulation for Nordic’s nRF52 and nRF53 Series System-on-Chips (SoCs), supporting wireless protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy, LE Audio, Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Zigbee. It is ideal for compact and advanced IoT products such as advanced wearables and portable medical applications.
