Power Management ICs – Designed to reduce power consumption
Nordic Semiconductor leverages its extensive experience in ultra-low power wireless technology to develop power management ICs, enabling industry-leading low-power wireless solutions.
Why choose Nordic's power management ICs?
- Maximum energy efficiency: Ultra-low power consumption means maximum energy efficiency from when the electrons leave the battery until RF signals are converted to radio waves.
- High integration: Combining valuable system and power management features with essential PMIC functions in a compact package, cuts board space, complexity and bill of materials.
- Seamless development: In a perfect world, a hardware engineer wouldn’t need to write code and a software engineer wouldn’t have to read the datasheet. The PC application, nPM PowerUP creates that world.
Power Management IC (PMIC) with unique system management features – nPM1300
Nordic announced the release of a third power management IC (PMIC) in mid-2023 to expand its PMIC portfolio. The nPM1300 PMIC simplifies system design by integrating essential functions required for embedded Bluetooth® Low Energy designs into one small package, enabling longer battery life and efficient battery charging with fewer components. Optimized for maximum efficiency and compact design (3.1 x 2.4mm WL-CSP or 5 x 5mm QFN), the nPM1300 is digitally configurable via an I2C-compatible Two Wire Interface (TWI). This interface allows easy access and configuration of a number of advanced system management functions, including a hardware reset functionality, battery fuel gauge, system-level watchdog, power loss warning, and failed boot recovery. These functions are typically implemented as discrete components in Bluetooth® LE embedded designs. 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.

The nRF54L15 DK is the development kit for all three wireless SoC (System-on-Chip) options in the nRF54L Series. The nRF54L15 sits on the development board, while the nRF54L10 and nRF54L05 can be emulated. The affordable single-board development kit makes all features of the wireless SoC available to the developer.
The nPM1300 Evaluation Kit allows for simple evaluation and code-free configuration of the nPM1300 Power Management IC (PMIC). By connecting to the nPM PowerUP app found in nRF Connect for Desktop, all settings of the nPM1300 can easily be configured through an intuitive GUI and exported as code to be implemented in your MCUs application.
The nRF7002 DK is the development kit for the nRF7002, and nRF7001 Wi-Fi 6 Companion ICs. It contains everything needed to get started developing on a single board. The DK features an nRF5340 multiprotocol System-on-Chip (SoC) as a host processor for the nRF7002.
The Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) is a standalone unit, which can measure and optionally supply currents all the way from sub-uA and as high as 1A on all Nordic DKs, in addition to external hardware.
The Nordic Thingy:53™ is an easy-to-use IoT prototyping platform. It makes it possible to create prototypes and proofs-of-concept without building custom hardware. The Thingy:53 is built around the nRF5340 SoC, our flagship dual-core wireless SoC. The processing power and memory size of its dual Arm Cortex-M33 processors enables it to run embedded machine learning (ML) models directly on the device.
The Nordic Thingy:91 X is a battery-operated prototyping platform for cellular IoT based on the nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP) supporting LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS and NR+, and certified for global operation. It is the ideal platform for rapidly developing a prototype for any cellular IoT concept, and is especially suited for asset-tracking applications. Nordic Thingy:91 X enables location tracking using cellular (MCELL and SCELL), Wi-Fi, or GNSS, in combination with nRF Cloud Location Services.
The nRF9151 DK is an affordable, pre-certified single board development kit for evaluation and development on the nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP) for LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS and DECT NR+. It has a dedicated LTE-M, NB-IoT and DECT NR+ antenna that supports a wide range of bands to operate globally.
