PF4210
14-channel Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for
audio/video applications
Rev. 1.0 — 14 February 2018
Data sheet: technical data

General description
The PF4210 high performance power management integrated circuit (PMIC) provides
a highly programmable/configurable architecture with fully integrated power devices
and minimal external components. With up to six buck converters, six linear regulators,
an RTC supply, and a coin cell charger, the PF4210 can provide power for a complete
system, including applications processors, memory, and system peripherals, in a wide
range of applications.
With on-chip one-time programmable (OTP) memory, the PF4210 is available in
preprogrammed standard version or nonprogrammed to support custom programming.
The PF4210 is defined to power low-cost audio/video applications using the i.MX 8M
family of applications processors.

Orderable parts
The PF4210 is available with both preprogrammed and nonprogrammed OTP memory
configurations. The nonprogrammed device uses A0 as the programming code. The
preprogrammed devices are identified using the program codes from
Table 1,
which also
list the associated NXP reference designs where applicable.
Details of the OTP programming for each device can be found in
Table 8.
