nPM1100 Thumbnail

Congratulations!

If you're reading this you are one of the few people lucky enough to receive a nPM1100 Thumnail board from one of our representatives. The nPM1100 Thumbnail is a giveaway board for showing off the nPM1100's capabilities as a small, highly efficient PMIC that requires very little board space to be fully operational. The nPM1100 Thumbnail features a fully functional nPM1100 PMIC and the passive components required to make it operate, with solder pads for select pins on the nPM1100 on a 100 mil grid. It can thus be used as a daughterboard by soldering it to a prototyping board. It can be used for powering applications with a regulated 3.0 V supply and charging lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries via USB. For instructions see the user guide below. To read more about the nPM1100 download the product brief, or visit the nPM1100 product page.

Ultra-small form-factor Power Management IC (PMIC) for charging batteries and power delivery

The nPM1100 is a dedicated power management IC (PMIC) with dual-mode configurable buck regulator and integrated battery charger. It is designed as a complementary component to Nordic’s nRF52® Series and nRF53® Series System-on-Chips (SoCs) to ensure reliable power delivery and stable operation, whilst maximizing battery life through high efficiency and low quiescent currents. It can also be used as a generic PMIC device for any other suitable application. Its extremely compact form factor makes it ideal for advanced wearables, connected medical devices, and other size constrained applications. PCB area usage can be as low as 23 mm2.
