9 in stock

Overview

The KITPF3000FRDMPGM is a dedicated programming board designed for the NXP PF3000 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) series. It enables engineers to configure and burn OTP (One-Time Programmable) settings into the PF3000, which is optimized for i.MX 7 and i.MX 6 series application processors. This tool is essential for customizing voltage rails and power-up sequences during the prototyping phase.

Why Choose This Part

This programmer provides a direct interface to the PF3000 without requiring a full target application board, reducing the risk of bricking custom hardware. It features a ZIF socket for easy chip replacement and integrates seamlessly with NXP GUI-based configuration tools via I2C.

Applications

OTP Programming
Configuring the non-volatile memory registers of PF3000 PMICs for custom power-up sequencing and default voltage levels.
i.MX 7 System Prototyping
Rapid development of power delivery networks for i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual based embedded systems.
PMIC Firmware Development
Validating I2C register settings and power state transitions before finalizing hardware designs.

Getting Started

Connect the programmer to a PC via USB and use the NXP PMIC Configuration Tool to define register settings. Ensure the target MC32PF3000 device is correctly oriented in the socket before applying the 2.8V to 5.5V VDD supply required for operation. The board communicates over I2C, allowing for real-time monitoring of power rail performance during the configuration process.
