Power industrial applications with NXP PMIC and processors

Power management is a key consideration for industrial applications and has a significant impact on system performance, reliability and cost efficiency. Power management integrated circuits (PMIC) play a crucial role in regulating voltage and powering various components within a system, including processors and peripherals.

Creating an efficient power management solution requires a deep understanding of the specific needs of the application as well as the technologies and components available. NXP offers a comprehensive and scalable range of energy management solutions, from power plugs to processors, designed to meet the specific needs of industrial applications.

NXP's PMIC is designed to efficiently convert DC power to power a system-on-chip (SoC) or processor and its associated peripherals. NXP's PMIC has several key differentiating advantages that make it stand out in the market.

Secure and robust architecture for industrial systems

The combination of advanced reliability, anti-ESD and EMC interference capabilities, and fail-safe strategies are key elements of functional robustness and functional safety in industrial applications. NXP's PMIC development process is compliant with IEC61508 and ISO 26262 standards for applications requiring functional safety compliance. The FS26 series supports ASIL B and ASIL D safety levels and is designed with SIL2 industrial-grade ESS systems to provide scalable solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. The FS26 series features an independent monitoring circuit, a dedicated interface for microcontroller monitoring and a built-in self-check mechanism to ensure a high level of safety and long-term mission profile reliability.

Enabling Platform design: Scalable and flexible PMIC solutions

Industrial applications come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with unique power requirements. NXP's PMIC design is highly scalable and flexible, enabling engineers to select the right solution for their specific application. With seven high-efficiency buck converters and four linear regulators, the PF8100/PF8200 series is a highly configurable solution that powers the processor, memory and peripherals. This flexibility allows engineers to optimize designs to improve performance, energy efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Energy saving: Low power mode and meter driver

NXP's PMIC offers low-power modes and meter drivers that optimize power consumption and extend battery life in portable industrial applications. Designed to support single lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery portable applications as well as 5V adapter non-portable applications, the PCA9451A is ideal for iot devices and other battery-powered industrial systems. Engineers can fine-tune power management solutions with dynamic voltage scaling and programmable power sequencing to achieve a balance between performance and energy efficiency.

NXP System Power: Optimizes system cost and performance by matching processors and peripherals with PMIC

Matching the processor to the right PMIC is critical for optimal performance and cost effectiveness. NXP's PMIC is designed with specific processors in mind to reduce engineering risk while speeding up the engineering process. Why spend more time managing power ordering and power requirements when you also need to design other industrial hardware? NXP's solutions not only meet your requirements, but also ensure that your processor has the most suitable power supply.

When selecting a processor and PMIC combination for industrial applications, engineers should consider factors such as the system's power requirements, functional safety compliance requirements, and the overall cost of the solution. With NXP's dedicated portfolio and extensive documentation, engineers are able to streamline the design process and create industrial systems that meet the highest standards of performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Powering Industrial systems through the grid - high-performance AC/DC solutions

Transferring power from the plug to the processor requires high-performance AC/DC converters to reduce energy loss, especially at low and no load, while maintaining efficient performance over the entire load range. These solutions are based on the NXP TEA power management family, such as TEA2017, which provides high-performance resonant power conversion.

Select the right PMIC

NXP's comprehensive PMIC and processor portfolio provides engineers with a powerful toolset to help them design industrial applications that require robust power management, functional safety monitoring and high cost effectiveness. By matching NXP's PMIC with compatible processors, engineers can take advantage of optimized power delivery, faster time-to-market, ready-to-use and scalable solutions, pre-integrated software to reduce complexity, and low-power modes to create industrial systems that meet the demands of the modern energy efficiency market.
