Product details
Overview
LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for HDD-based portable media players, featuring two programmable LDOs (LDO1 = 2.5 V, LDO2 = 3.0 V), two DVS buck converters (Buck1 = 1.6 V, Buck2 = 1.8 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 supports USB/adapter charging, battery temperature monitoring, and LED status indication in a single 48-pin WQFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB datasheet, LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB pinout, LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB application, or LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB equivalent, this device delivers system-level power sequencing, dynamic voltage scaling for processor cores, analog rail isolation, battery health supervision, and I²C-programmable configuration - all critical for portable HDD media player power architecture validation and BOM consolidation.
Technical Context
The LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB implements a multi-rail, mixed-mode power architecture with independent enable/control logic per regulator: LDO1 (general-purpose, 2.5 V), LDO2 (low-noise analog, 3.0 V), Buck1 (1.6 V DVS for apps processor core), Buck2 (1.8 V DVS for memory/I/O), and buck-boost (3.3 V for HDD interface). Its integrated linear charger supports 100 mA full-rate wall-adapter charging with 4.2 V termination, 50 mA pre-qualification, and thermistor-based temperature sensing via TS pin.
System supervision includes a 4-channel 8-bit ADC (±1 LSB INL/DNL), 8-source interrupt output (IRQB), NRST reset generation, ONSTAT debounced power-state indicator, and real-time battery voltage monitoring with 2.5 V low-battery threshold. All functions are configured via a 400-kHz I²C-compatible interface (address 0x60 hex).

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output voltage of LDO1 in LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB?
The LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB has LDO1 factory-programmed to 2.5 V, as confirmed in Table 1 (Device Comparison Tables) of the SNVS481M datasheet. This voltage is optimized for general-purpose digital subsystems such as touch controllers or audio codec I/O interfaces, and remains stable across load currents up to 150 mA with ±3% accuracy.
Does LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB support USB charging with current limiting?
Yes, LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB supports USB charging with selectable current limits of 100 mA, 500 mA, or 800 mA via the USBISEL pin. The device also includes a 50 mA pre-qualification stage and USB suspend mode detection via USBSUSP, ensuring compliance with USB 2.0 power specifications while protecting the battery during low-power states.
How does the buck-boost converter in LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB differ from the buck converters?
The buck-boost converter in LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB delivers a fixed 3.3 V output across a wide input range (down to 2.5 V), enabling uninterrupted operation during deep battery discharge - unlike Buck1 and Buck2, which are step-down-only and require VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5 V. This makes the buck-boost essential for powering HDD interfaces and USB PHYs under varying battery conditions.
Can LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB monitor battery temperature, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB monitors battery temperature using the TS pin, which connects to a 100 kΩ NTC thermistor. The internal circuitry converts the thermistor voltage into a digital reading via the 8-bit ADC, enabling JEITA-compliant charge current reduction above 45°C or below 0°C - a feature explicitly documented in the "Battery Temperature Measurement" section of the datasheet.
What is the I²C address of LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB, and is it configurable?
The I²C address of LP3910SQ-AK/NOPB is 0x60 (hex), implemented as a metal-mask option per the "Device Information" section of SNVS481M. While the default is fixed, TI offers custom mask options for address variation in multi-PMIC systems - however, no field-programmable address change is supported after manufacturing.
