Product details
Overview
LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for HDD-based portable media players, featuring two programmable LDOs (LDO1 = 2 V, LDO2 = 3.3 V), two DVS buck converters (Buck1 = 1.2 V, Buck2 = 3.3 V), a wide-load-range buck-boost (3.3 V), a linear Li-ion charger (100 mA full-rate), and an 8-bit dual-slope ADC. It serves as the central system power controller in battery-powered consumer audio/video devices with hard-disk storage.
For engineers reviewing the LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB datasheet, LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB pinout, LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB application, or LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB equivalent, this device is selected for multi-rail, thermally constrained portable systems requiring coordinated sequencing, battery monitoring, USB/adapter charging, and analog-sensitive LDO2 supply - especially where I²C-programmable voltage rails and integrated LED status drivers are needed.
Technical Context
The LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB implements a fixed-function, I²C-configurable power architecture with independent enable/control for each regulator and charger stage. Its buck-boost converter supports wide load range operation across battery discharge (2.5–4.5 V input), while LDO2 delivers low-noise analog power with 50 µVRMS output noise and 50 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. The integrated 4-channel ADC monitors battery voltage, temperature (via TS pin), charge current (ISENSE), and auxiliary inputs with ±1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy.
Sequencing is managed via programmable turn-on/turn-off delays (e.g., LDO1/LDO2 = 5 ms on, 10 ms off; Buck-Boost = 25 ms on), and safety features include thermal shutdown (160°C), battery low detection (2.9 V threshold), 10-hour safety timer, reverse-current blocking for USB, and overcurrent protection on all power paths. The device uses a single 400-kHz I²C interface (7-bit address 0x60) for register access and status polling.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output voltage configuration for LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB?
The LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB is factory-programmed with LDO1 = 2.0 V, LDO2 = 3.3 V, Buck1 = 1.2 V, Buck2 = 3.3 V, and Buck-Boost = 3.3 V. Battery termination voltage defaults to 4.2 V, end-of-charge current to 0.1C, and full-rate charge current to 100 mA. These settings are confirmed in Table 3 of the SNVS481M datasheet.
Does LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB support both USB and wall-adapter charging?
Yes, LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB supports dual-source charging: USBPWR input (with selectable 100/500/800 mA limits via USBISEL) and CHG_DET input for wall adapter (4.4–4.6 V detection threshold). It includes reverse-current blocking for USB and automatic source selection based on valid input detection.
How does the LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB manage thermal safety?
LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB incorporates thermal shutdown at 160°C (typical), with 20°C hysteresis, and a programmable thermal interrupt at 115°C. It also regulates internal FET junction temperature during charging and provides continuous battery temperature monitoring via the TS pin and integrated ADC channel.
Can the LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB be used without I²C configuration?
Yes - LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB powers up with factory-programmed defaults and operates autonomously. I²C is optional for dynamic reconfiguration (e.g., voltage adjustment, sequencing delay changes, or status reads). All critical functions - including charging, regulation, and safety monitoring - operate without host intervention.
What is the role of the 4-channel ADC in LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB?
The 4-channel 8-bit dual-slope ADC in LP3910SQ-AA/NOPB measures battery voltage (VBATT), battery temperature (TS), charge current (ISENSE), and one auxiliary input (ADC1). It provides ±1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy and enables real-time fuel gauging, thermal profiling, and charger diagnostics without external components.
