nPM2100 Power Management IC

Primary-Cell with ultra-efficient boost regulator and fuel gauge

The nPM2100 is a Power Management IC specifically engineered for primary-cell battery applications, addressing the unique power management requirements of non-rechargeable battery-powered products. It supports Alkaline AA/AAA/LRxx cells (up to two in series), 3 V LiMnO₂ coin cells (CR2032 and similar), single- or dual-cell silver oxide and zinc-air coin-cell batteries, or any primary battery within 0.7–3.4 V input range. 

It features an ultra-efficient boost regulator, LDO and system management features and allowing it to operate from alkaline AA/AAA cells, 3 V lithium manganese dioxide (LiMnO₂) coin cells, and other primary batteries as they discharge from full voltage down to 0.7 V. 

The nPM2100 includes an algorithm-based battery fuel gauge and a rich set of system management features including a hardware watchdog, hard reset, failed-boot recovery, break-to-wake, ship and hibernate mode. The nPM2100 is your toolbox of power saving capabilities replacing multiple discrete components while enabling greater design flexibility through a fully I²C-compatible TWI interface. 

The nPM2100 included a unique mechanism to support short and high-peak burst currents without unnecessary wear on the battery

nPM PowerUP

nPM PowerUP is a desktop application for controlling the nPM2100 Evaluation Kit (EK). Once connected to an EK, the app gives full control over the adjustable settings of the nPM2100 PMIC. Using the included battery models, the app will show the remaining state of charge when working with a battery connected to the EK. 

nPM PowerUP is found inside nRF Connect for Desktop.
