Product details
Overview
LP3921SQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fully integrated battery charger management and regulator unit with a Boomer™ audio amplifier, designed for CDMA cellular handsets. It integrates a thermally regulated Li-Ion linear charger (50–950 mA), seven low-noise LDOs (300/150/80 mA outputs), and a 1.1 W differential Class-D audio amplifier driving 8Ω BTL loads with <1% THD+N.
For engineers reviewing the LP3921SQ/NOPB datasheet, LP3921SQ/NOPB pinout, LP3921SQ/NOPB application, or LP3921SQ/NOPB equivalent, this device supports I²C-controlled charging, programmable LDO voltages (1.5–3.3 V), thermal shutdown, UVLO, and capacitor-free audio output - critical for compact, low-power mobile power management designs.
Technical Context
The LP3921SQ/NOPB implements a CC/CV linear charging architecture with pre-charge, full-rate, maintenance, and safety timer modes. Its charge current is thermally regulated to maintain optimal junction temperature (TJ = 115°C) across ambient conditions, and termination voltage is programmable (4.1–4.4 V) with ±0.35% typical accuracy.
All seven LDOs feature high PSRR (65 dB @ 10 kHz), ultra-low output noise (45 µVRMS, 10 Hz–100 kHz), and fast start-up (≤170 µs). The Boomer audio amplifier uses fully differential architecture, eliminates output coupling capacitors and snubber networks, and delivers 1.1 W into 8Ω with <1% THD+N at 1 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger and multi-LDO power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24075RGTR | Single-input Li-Ion charger only (no LDOs/audio); 1 A max charge current; no I²C interface - uses pin-strapping for configuration | Suitable for simpler systems needing only charging, not multi-rail regulation or audio | Select when audio amplification and 7-channel LDO integration are unnecessary; requires external LDOs for system rails |
| TPS65023RSBR | Three buck converters + five LDOs; no integrated charger or audio amplifier; I²C interface; 2.7–5.5 V input | Targets broader portable applications (e.g., PDAs) where high-efficiency DC/DC conversion is prioritized over linear charging | Choose when higher efficiency (>90%) and lower thermal load are critical; adds complexity due to external charger requirement |
Compared with LP3921SQ/NOPB, BQ24075RGTR lacks LDOs and audio, requiring ≥7 additional components for equivalent functionality; TPS65023RSBR offers DC/DC efficiency but omits charging and audio, increasing BOM and design effort for CDMA handset use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum programmable charge current for LP3921SQ/NOPB?
The LP3921SQ/NOPB supports a fully programmable Li-Ion charge current from 50 mA to 950 mA in 50 mA increments via its I²C interface. The default full-rate current is 100 mA, and the pre-charge current is fixed at 50 mA. This range allows precise adaptation to battery capacity and thermal constraints in CDMA handset designs.
Does LP3921SQ/NOPB require external coupling capacitors for its audio amplifier?
No, the LP3921SQ/NOPB Boomer audio amplifier is fully differential and capacitor-free - it drives 8Ω BTL loads directly without output coupling capacitors, snubber networks, or bootstrap capacitors. This eliminates four external components and associated ESR-related distortion, making it ideal for space-constrained mobile audio applications.
How many LDO outputs does LP3921SQ/NOPB provide, and what are their current ratings?
The LP3921SQ/NOPB integrates seven independent LDO regulators: two rated at 300 mA (LDO1 CORE, LDO2 DIGI), three at 150 mA (LDO5 RX, LDO6 TX, LDO7 GP), and two at 80 mA (LDO3 ANA, LDO4 TCXO). All support programmable output voltages from 1.5 V to 3.3 V via I²C.
What package type and thermal performance does LP3921SQ/NOPB use?
LP3921SQ/NOPB is packaged in a 32-pin WQFN (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 30°C/W on a JEDEC 4-layer board, enabling robust thermal regulation during high-current charging and audio operation without external heatsinking.
Can LP3921SQ/NOPB operate from a USB power source?
Yes, LP3921SQ/NOPB supports USB-compatible charging with programmable current limits of 100 mA (low-power USB) and 450 mA (high-power USB), selectable via I²C. Its CHG_IN input accepts 4.5–6.0 V, aligning with USB 2.0/3.0 VBUS specifications when used with appropriate upstream regulation.
