Nordic Semiconductor nPM1300 power management IC
Summary
It reduces an end-product’s Bill-of-Materials (BoM) by combining circuitry that typically requires five or more discrete components into a single chip. The PMIC also brings unique system management features and accurate fuel gauging for low power wireless applications. Nordic is the first company to achieve this balance between high accuracy and low power consumption, and it can’t be found in any competitive PMIC product. “We’ve launched the nPM1300 to make it easy for developers to add a compact, optimised power management solution to their low power products - eliminating the need to design-in system management functions from scratch using five or six discrete components,” says Geir Kjosavik, Product Director – PMIC, Nordic Semiconductor. With the kit and the nPM PowerUP app, developers can quickly set things up to minimise the power consumption of their application without the need to write any software.” Developers using Nordic’s nRF52 and nRF53 Series, as well as the recently announced nRF54H20 advanced wireless multiprotocol Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), will find the nPM1300 is the perfect match for their power management needs.
