nPM2100 Power Management IC

Primary-cell PMIC 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. 

This is accomplished though an ultra-efficient boost regulator with auto pass-through mode which allows batteries to be used all the way down to their functional endpoint. The on-chip LDO enables the use of a second voltage rail. 
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.

Introducing the nPM2100

A complete energy-saving toolbox for non-rechargeable products

DevAcademy

Designing Low-Power Bluetooth LE Products, including a dedicated PMIC lesson

Master low-power design for Bluetooth LE products with nRF54 Series SoCs and learn how to design with PMICs, including hands-on PMIC integration with the nPM2100.

In the PMIC lesson you will explore:

  • PMIC overview
  • System management features with Nordic PMICs
  • System efficiency considerations
  • PMIC hardware integration
  • PMIC software integration
  • Getting started with Nordic PMICs
  • Powering nRF54L devices from a single AA/AAA battery using the nPM2100 PMIC

                                                             

                                                                                     
 

To get the most out of this course, we recommend using an nRF54L15 DK, a Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2), and an nPM2100 EK. The course also supports the nRF54LM20 DK, nRF54LS05 DK, and nRF54LV10 DK.
