Nordic Semiconductor nPM1300 Power Management IC

Element14 has added Nordic Semiconductors’ nPM1300 Power Management IC to its semiconductor portfolio to enhance the offering for connectivity of devices.

The Power Management IC offers a simplified solution to system design by integrating functions that are necessary for embedded designs into a single, compact package. Its power regulation provides designers with longer run times and efficient battery charging, while reducing the number of required components.

The device integrates many intelligent system management functions, including integrated hard reset functionality for one or two buttons, battery fuel gauging, a system-level watchdog, power loss warning and recovery from failed boot.

The Power Management IC also includes a 32–800 mA battery charger, two 200 mA buck DCDC regulators, two 100 mA load switches (alternatively, a 50 mA LDO), five GPIOs and three LED drivers. The device is also USB compatible and can be controlled via an I2C compatible TWI.

Nordic Semiconductor’s nPM1300 Power Management IC is now available from element14 in APAC.
