The nPM1304 is a highly integrated multifunction Power Management IC (PMIC) that includes battery charger, an algorithm-based fuel gauge, two ultra-efficient step-down buck regulators, two LDOs / load switches, and comprehensive system management functions into a single device. It supports battery charge current as low as 4 mA. The nPM1304 reduces the bill of materials by replacing multiple discrete components while enabling greater design flexibility through a fully I²C-compatible TWI interface.
The nPM1304 includes an algorithm-based battery fuel gauge solution with state of charge and state of health reporting. It is highly accurate, consumes ultra-low power and does not require any extra components. A rich set of system management features including a hardware watchdog, power-loss warning, hard-reset supervisory circuit, failed-boot recovery, ship and hibernate mode.A
