Featured IC
nPM1300
Battery Charging, Accurate Fuel Gauging and Advanced System Management Features
nPM1300 is a power management IC (PMIC) that simplifies system design by integrating essential functions required for embedded Bluetooth Low Energy designs. It features 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, nRF53 and nRF54 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. nPM1300 is also suitable for battery charging, fuel gauge and system management in applications based on the nRF91 Series System-in-Packages (SiPs).
Key Benefits
- Intelligent system management features eliminate need for discrete system management components like dedicated button-reset ICs and external watchdogs
- Ultra low-power, accurate fuel gauging capabilities, for battery state-of-charge monitoring and battery runtime estimation
- USB-C compatible battery charger for single-cell Lithium-ion, Lithium-polymer and Lithium iron phosphate batteries up to 4.45 V
Applications
- Wearables
- Hand-held entertainment devices
- Personal medical devices
- Rechargeable smart home sensors
nPM1300 Evaluation Kit
Easily configure and evaluate the nPM1300 Power Management IC through an intuitive desktop GUI
The nPM1300 Evaluation Kit allows for simple evaluation and codefree 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 kit itself offers JST battery connectors for batteries with or without internal NTC, and male pin headers for access to all nPM1300 connections. In addition, three LEDs and four pushbuttons are implemented for ease of use when evaluating the GPIO and LED driver functionality of the PMIC.
Key Benefits
- Seamless integration and code free configuration with the nPM PowerUP desktop app
- Male pin headers provide access to all nPM1300 PMIC connections, for easy connection to external test equipment
- Integrated LEDs and pushbuttons allow for evaluation of the built-in LED drivers and GPIOs of the PMIC
Key Features
- Male pin-headers for all pins on the nPM1300 PMIC, and battery connectors
- USB-C for power and data communication
- Three LEDs and four pushbuttons
- nPM1300 - highly efficient PMIC with advanced system management features
- Seamless configuration through nPM PowerUP desktop software
nPM Fuel Gauge board
Hardware tool to profile batteries to be used for fuel gauge
The nPM Fuel Gauge board (nPM FG) connects to any compatible Nordic Semiconductor evaluation kit. The purpose of the board is to act as a constant current sink device during battery profiling with nPM PowerUP desktop software.
The battery model generated in nPM PowerUP can be used for evaluation of fuel gauge in nPM PowerUP and exported as an include-file for use in any application using the Nordic fuel gauge algorithm.
