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
