10 Power Supply Recommendations

The LP3910 is designed to use a standard single-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery. Battery voltage maximum operating voltage can be up to 4.5 V. The LP3910 can also use an AC-DC wall adapter as a charging source up to 6 V or a USB source of at least 4.25 V. The USB charging source must supply charging currents of 100 mA, 500 mA, or 800 mA.
