Product details
Overview
LP8720TLX-B/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a programmable power management IC integrating one 400 mA synchronous buck converter and five low-noise LDO regulators (LDO1–LDO5), all controlled via I²C interface. It delivers 1.2 V @ 400 mA from the buck stage and supports configurable output voltages (e.g., LDO1: 1.2–3.3 V, LDO2: 0.8–2.3 V) with ≤2% output accuracy and 200 mV typical dropout at 300 mA - optimized for cellular handset baseband and application processor power domains.
For engineers reviewing the LP8720TLX-B/NOPB datasheet, LP8720TLX-B/NOPB pinout, LP8720TLX-B/NOPB application, or LP8720TLX-B/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on dynamic voltage scaling (DVS), programmable startup sequencing, thermal shutdown early warning (125°C), and 2.0 MHz internal oscillator timing - critical for portable handheld product power architecture validation.
Technical Context
The LP8720TLX-B/NOPB implements auto-mode PFM/PWM switching in its buck regulator, enabling high efficiency (88% at 5 mA, 90% at 200 mA) across load ranges while maintaining 1.2 V ±1.5% regulation in PFM mode. Its 2.2 µH inductor and 10 µF output capacitor support compact layout at 2 MHz switching frequency.
Five LDOs feature independent enable control, programmable startup delays (0–6 × 25 µs steps), and configurable default voltages per DEFSEL pin state (VBATT/GND/Hi-Z). The I²C interface (7-bit slave address selectable via IDSEL) enables real-time DVS, sleep mode entry, and interrupt monitoring (IRQ_N) for thermal events (TSD_EW = 125°C, TSD = 160°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023RSBR | Three buck + six LDOs; 2.25 MHz switching; no DVS pin; I²C address fixed at 0x2D | Higher integration but lacks hardware DVS control; requires full software control for voltage transitions | Choose for designs needing >1 buck rail or where I²C address conflict must be avoided |
| LP87322ARHPT | Two buck + four LDOs; 2.4 MHz switching; integrated watchdog timer; SPI interface only | No I²C support; requires SPI host; includes reset supervision not present in LP8720TLX-B/NOPB | Choose when system-level reset coordination is required and SPI is preferred over I²C |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the buck regulator in LP8720TLX-B/NOPB?
The buck regulator in LP8720TLX-B/NOPB delivers up to 400 mA continuous output current in PWM mode. Peak switch current limit is 900 mA (min 500 mA), and efficiency reaches 90% at 200 mA load with 1.2 V output. Operation above 400 mA risks thermal shutdown unless board-level thermal design exceeds θJA = 45°C/W.
How does the DEFSEL pin affect default voltage settings in LP8720TLX-B/NOPB?
The DEFSEL pin on LP8720TLX-B/NOPB selects among three predefined startup configurations: DEFSEL = VBATT sets LDO1 to 3.0 V ON, LDO2 to 2.6 V ON; DEFSEL = GND disables LDO1/LDO2 by default; DEFSEL = Hi-Z configures LDO1 to 2.8 V ON and LDO2 to 2.6 V ON. These defaults are loaded at power-on-reset before I²C access.
Can LP8720TLX-B/NOPB operate without an external I²C controller?
Yes - LP8720TLX-B/NOPB supports autonomous operation using hardware pins: EN enables/disables all rails, DVS toggles between two buck voltages, and DEFSEL/IDSEL configure defaults and I²C address. However, full programmability (voltage fine-tuning, sequencing, sleep control) requires I²C host interaction.
What is the purpose of the GNDB pin on LP8720TLX-B/NOPB?
GNDB is the dedicated power ground for the buck regulator stage in LP8720TLX-B/NOPB. It must be routed separately from the main GND (B1) to minimize switching noise coupling into sensitive analog LDO outputs and I²C lines - critical for maintaining PSRR >60 dB and signal integrity in RF subsystems.
Does LP8720TLX-B/NOPB support thermal shutdown recovery without host intervention?
Yes - after thermal shutdown at 160°C, LP8720TLX-B/NOPB automatically restarts once junction temperature cools to ≤115°C, provided EN remains high. Register contents are preserved if APU_TSD = 1 (register 0x09), enabling seamless resumption; if APU_TSD = 0, registers reset to POR defaults before restart.
