JAJSED9U June 2007 – January 2018 LP3907
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LP3907 incorporates two high-efficiency synchronous switching buck regulators, SW1 and SW2, that deliver a constant voltage from a single Li-Ion battery to the portable system processors. Using a voltage mode architecture with synchronous rectification, both bucks have the ability to deliver up to 1000 mA and 600 mA, respectively, depending on the input voltage and output voltage (voltage headroom), and the inductor chosen (maximum current capability).
There are three modes of operation depending on the current required: PWM, PFM, and shutdown. PWM mode handles current loads of approximately 70 mA or higher, delivering voltage precision of ±3% with 90% efficiency or better. Lighter output current loads cause the device to automatically switch into PFM for reduced current consumption (IQ = 15 µA typical) and a longer battery life. The standby operating mode turns off the device, offering the lowest current consumption. PWM or PFM mode is selected automatically or PWM mode can be forced through the setting of the buck control register.
Both SW1 and SW2 can operate up to a 100% duty cycle (PMOS switch always on) for low drop out control of the output voltage. In this way the output voltage is controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage.
Additional features include soft-start, undervoltage lockout, current overload protection, and thermal overload protection.
