LP3913 Power Management IC for Flash Memory Based Portable Media Players
General Description
The LP3913 is a programmable system power management unit that is optimized for Flash Memory based Portable Media Players.
The LP3913 incorporates 2 low-dropout LDO voltage regula­tors, 3 integrated Buck DC/DC converters with Dynamic Volt­age Scaling (DVS), a 4-channel 8-bit A/D converter, and a dual source Li-Ion/polymer battery charger. The charger has the capability to charge and maintain a single cell battery from a regulated wall adapter or USB power. When both USB and adapter sources are present, then the adapter source takes precedence and switching between USB and adapter power sources is seamless. In addition, the battery charger supports power routing, which allows system usage immediately after an external power source has been detected. The LP3913 also incorporates some advanced battery management func­tions such as battery temperature measurement, reverse cur­rent blocking for USB, LED charger status indication, thermally regulated internal power FETs, battery voltage monitoring, over-current protection and a 10 hour safety timer.
The 4-channel A/D converter measures the battery voltage and charge current, which can be used for fuel gauging. Two undedicated channels can be used to measure other analog parameters such as discharge current, battery temperature, keyboard resistor scanning and more.
The various IC parameters are programmable through a 400 kHz I2C compatible interface.
The LP3913 is available in a thermally-enhanced 6x6x0.8 mm 48 LLP package and operates over an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
Features
2 low-dropout regulators -- LDO1 is used for general purpose applications, LDO2 is used for low-noise analog applications. Both LDOs have programmable output voltages.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
Note 3: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 160°C (typ.) and disengages at T
J
= 140°C (typ.).
Note 4: The Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7.
Note 5: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (T
A-MAX
) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (T
J-MAX-OP
= 125°C), the maximum power
dissipation of the device in the application (P
D-MAX
), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the
following equation: T
A-MAX
= T
J-MAX-OP
− (θJA × P
D-MAX
).
Note 6: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
Note 7: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm.
Note 8: Low ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are used in setting electrical characteristics.
Note 9: Specifications guaranteed by design. Not tested during production.
Note 10: Typical values and limits appearing in normal type for TJ = 25°C. Limits appearing in boldface type apply over the entire junction temperature range
for operation, −40°C to +125°C.
Note 11: LDO2EN, BUCK1EN, and USBSUSP have weak internal pull downs while pins POWERACK, ONOFF do not have this.

Power-On-Reset
The LP3913 is equipped with an internal Power-On-Reset (“POR”) circuit that will reset the logic when VDD < V
POR
. This guarantees that the logic is properly initialized when VDD rises above the minimum operating voltage of the Logic and the internal oscillator that clocks the Sequential Logic in the Con­trol section.
Thermal Shutdown and Thermal Alarm
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction temper­ature of the LP3913 and forcibly invokes standby mode in the unusual case when the junction temperature of the silicon ex­ceeds the normal operating level due to excessive loads on all power regulators and the Li-ion charger and/or due to an abnormally high ambient temperature. The thermal Shutdown threshold is 160°C.
The thermal shutdown is preceded by a Thermal alarm that generates an interrupt request if unmasked (see Interrupt Re­quest generation). The temperature threshold for triggering the alarm is 115°C.
NRST Pin
The NRST pin is an open-drain output and is active low during Standby, Power Off and Charger Standby modes. The NRST timing is determined by a factory programmable counter.
Control Registers
The LP3913 contains 14 user programmable registers that configure the functionality of the individual modules inside the
IC. Registers are programmed through an I2C interface and have default values that are invoked during an internal reset. Some of the default values can be tailored to the specific needs of the system designer (see Application Notes).
Throughout this product specification, the register address is noted in hexadecimal notation immediately following the reg­ister name as illustrated below:
PON Register (00)h Power On Event Register
D7–4 D3 D2 D1 D0
Battery Monitor
The battery voltage is monitored and will invoke the Power Off mode when the battery low threshold is breached for more than 5 ms (Typ.). The battery low threshold DEFAULT is fac­tory programmed. The battery low threshold range is 2.5V–
3.5V with steps of 50 mV. The Battery low threshold in the table below refers to a decreasing battery voltage. The thresh­old when the battery voltage is transitioning out of the V
BATTLOW
is 50 mV (Typ.) higher than the values listed in the
table below due to a built-in hysteresis of 50 mV (Typ.). The battery low IRQ is triggered 200 mV above the battery
low alarm threshold that powers down the IC. This gives the user time for a controlled shutdown.

PowerOff Mode
In Power Off mode the main battery, the battery charger sup­ply, and the USB supply are below their minimum on levels. All internal circuits are disabled as the supply voltage is below the level to activate them. The LP3913 is in Power Off mode when the battery voltage is below the battery V
UVLO
(2.4V typ)
except when a valid external supply is detected.
Standby
When the LP3913 is in Standby Mode, the chip is waiting for a valid power-on event to transition to Active Mode. There are 3 valid wakeup signals. First is the ONOFF pin. Second is Wall Adapter Insertion. Third is the USB insertion. V
BATT
must be
greater than the battery V
UVLO
in order to stay in Standby Mode, otherwise the chip transitions to Power Off Mode. Standby Mode is skipped when advancing from Power Off Mode when a battery is inserted that is above the battery low alarm threshold.
If the battery is below the battery low alarm threshold, Power Off Mode transitions to Standby Mode. However, hot insertion of the battery with the adapter connected is NOT permitted. In Standby Mode, the current consumption is reduced to I
Q
(10 µA TYP).
Active Mode
All LP3913 circuits are fully operational in Active mode.
Power On/Off Sequencing
Each DC/DC converter (Buck1, Buck2, Buck3, LDO1, LDO2) and the NRST pin of the LP3913 has its own delay after which
it is enabled following a power-on event or disabled following a power-off event. Following the deglitching of the power-on event, the system bandgaps are enabled. Following this is a 5 ms delay that internal circuitry requires to cleanly powerup. The programmable delays are measured from this time point. Following the deglitching of a power-down event (up to 5 ms if POWERACK pin is used), the power-down sequencer will start. Each delay ranges from 0 ms to 63 ms in steps of 1 ms and is factory programmed to the desired values sub­mitted by the system designer. As illustrated below, the pow­er-on/off sequencing is designed around a 6-bit up/down timer that is clocked at 1 kHz. A power-on or power-off event will trigger the timer, which counts up from 0 during a power­on sequence and counts down from 5'b11111 during a power­down cycle. The timer output is connected to 5 comparators with factory programmed timeout values that correspond to the on and off delays for each DC/DC converter and the NRST pin. Once the timer has incremented beyond the comparator timeout value during a power-on cycle, the output of the com­parator enables the corresponding DC/DC converter or raises the NRST pin to a logic high level. Subsequently, once the timer has decremented below the comparator timeout value during a power-down cycle, the output of the comparator will disable the corresponding DC/DC converter or will activate the NRST pin to a logic low level.

Transitioning from Standby to Active Mode (Power Up) Battery Power Present Only
When only battery power is present and the battery voltage V
BATT
> V
BATTLOW
, the LP3913 is waiting for one of three valid wakeup signals. The first is the ONOFF pin. The second and third wakeups are the Wall Adapter and USBPWR. The ONOFF pin is factory programmable wakeup source. It can be a rising edge, a falling edge, a level high, or a level low event. Regardless of the mode, the signal requires a 32 ms deglitch time. A deglitched version of the ONOFF pin is output on the open-drain output pin ONSTAT. ONOFF is usually connected to a push button. Asserting the ONOFF pin starts the power on sequencer. This enables the DC/DC converters
including the Buck1 DC/DC converter that supplies power to the system processor. The system processor then needs to set bit D4 (PACK bit) in the Power On Event Register through the I2C interface or apply a logic high to the POWERACK pin to keep the LP3913 in the Active mode. These serve as a Power Acknowledgement, confirming the power on request initiated by the ONOFF pin. If neither the PACK bit (D4) in the PON register or the POWERACK pin is set within 128 ms (max) of the start of the power-up sequencer, then the LP3913 will automatically turn off, as the system failed to acknowledge the power on request. Connecting the battery will be consid­ered a Power on event. However hot insertion of the battery with the adapter connected is NOT permitted.

External Power and Battery Detection
When a Wall Adapter is detected, regardless of the battery voltage, the LP3913 moves to the Active Mode and the Pow­er-up sequencer is started. Similar to the ONOFF pin, there is a 32 ms deglitch time to ensure a clean wall adapter de­tection and the system processor needs to set the PACK bit (D4) in the PON register or the POWERACK pin within 128 ms (max) of the start of the power-up sequencer.
When USB PWR is detected and the battery is above the low battery alarm threshold, the LP3913 moves to the Active Mode and the Power-up sequencer is started. Similar to the ONOFF pin, there is a 32 ms deglitch time to ensure a clean USB detection and the system processor needs to set the PACK bit (D4) in the PON register or the POWERACK pin
within 128 ms (max) of the start of the power-up sequencer. If the battery is below the low battery alarm threshold, the system will remain powered down until the USBPWR charges the battery up to the battery low alarm threshold, at which point the power-up sequencer is started.
The four LSB bits of the PON register indicate which PON source was responsible for moving the LP3913 out of standby and into active mode:
Battery insert ONOFF push button CHG_IN detect (connection of power adapter) USB power (plug-in of powered USB cable)
These bits are cleared upon powering off.

TRANSITIONING FROM ACTIVE MODE TO STANDBY MODE
External Event Triggers the Transition from Active to Standby Mode
When the device is active, a subsequent re-assertion of the push button will turn off the LP3913 indirectly by first flagging the system processor though the ONSTAT pin. Upon detect­ing the ONSTAT transition, the system processor must clear bit D4 (PACK) in the Power On Event Register and apply a logic low to the POWERACK pin to power down the LP3913, which then transitions to Standby Mode. Clearing the PACK
register bit and POWERACK pin while external supply sources are present (either USB or CHG_IN) will not power down the LP3913, to keep the charger active. The system can as always disable all necessary DC/DC converters, except BUCK1, through the register control.
When external power is disconnected, LP3913 will remain in its Active state unless the battery voltage is below V
BLA
(Bat­tery Low Alarm) or unless the PACK (either bit D4 in the PON register and the POWERACK pin) is cleared by the system processor.

Transition from Active to Standby Mode Due to Expiring POWERACK Deadline
With no external charger present when the system processor fails to acknowledge the power-on in time by setting either the PACK bit (D4) in the PON register or the POWERACK pin before the 128 ms deadline following the start of the power­up sequencer, then the NRST is immediately de-asserted and after 2 ms all power sources will be disabled before transi­tioning to Standby Mode. This 2 ms delay allows the micro­processor to receive a clean reset before the power is de-
asserted. A new power-on event is then required to transition back to Active mode.
With either external charger present when the system pro­cessor fails to acknowledge the power-on in time by setting either the PACK bit (D4) in the PON register or the POWER­ACK pin before the 128 ms deadline following the start of the power-up sequencer, then the NRST is immediately de-as­serted and after 2 ms all power sources will be disabled before transitioning to Charger Standby Mode.

I2C COMPATIBLE SERIAL INTERFACE
I2C Signals
The LP3913 features an I2C compatible serial interface, using two dedicated pins: I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA for I2C clock and data respectively. Both signals need a pull-up resistor ac­cording to the I2C specification. The LP3913 interface is an I2C slave that is clocked by the incoming SCL clock.
Signal timing specifications are according to the I2C bus spec­ification. The maximum bit rate is 400 kbit/s. See I2C specifi­cation from Philips for further details.
I2C Data Validity
The data on I2C_SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (I2C_SCL), e.g., the state of the data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW.
I2C Signals: Data Validity
30000109
I2C START and STOP Conditions
START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. The START condition is defined the as the I2C_SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. The STOP condition is defined as the SDA tran­sitioning from LOW to HIGH while I2C_SCL is HIGH. The I2C
master always generates START and STOP bits. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.
START and STOP Conditions
30000110
Transferring Data
Every byte put on the I2C_SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledged related clock pulse is generated by the master. The transmitter releases the I2C_SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the I2C_SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying acknowledgement. A receiver which has been addressed must generate an acknowledgement (“ACK”) after each byte has been received.
Register Write Cycle
After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip ad­dress. This address is seven bits long followed by an eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The third byte contains data that will be written to the selected register.
LP3913 has a chip address of 60’h, which is set by a metal mask option.

Register Read Cycle
When a READ function is to be accomplished, a WRITE func­tion must precede the READ function, as shown in the Read Cycle waveform.

Multi-byte I2C Command sequence
The LP3913’s I2C serial interface shall support Random reg­ister Multi-byte command sequencing: During a multi-byte write the Master sends the Start command followed by the Device address, which is sent only once, followed by the 8­bit register address, then 8 bits of data, The I2C slave must then accept the next random register address followed by 8 bits of data and continue this process until the master sends a valid stop condition.
A Typical Multi-byte random register transfer is outlined be­low:

LI-ION LINEAR CHARGER
Charger Architecture
The LP3913 can safely charge and maintain a single cell Li­Ion/Polymer battery operating off a regulated 6V Car adapter,
AC wall adapter, or USB power (VBUS). Input power source selection of USB/adapter is seamless. If present, the charger will use the adapter power regardless of the presence of USB power. The connection of either power source is detected by LP3913.
30000115
The charger module is a linear charger with constant current pre-qualification, constant current (“CC”) full-rate charging and constant voltage (“CV”) charging. CC and CV regulation is performed using an internal Power FET Q2 with reverse current blocking. The termination voltage is controlled to with­in ±0.35% at room temperature.
The power FET Q1 acts as a switch with programmable cur­rent limit for USB operation.

Charge Status Indication
Two LEDs connected to the LP3913 are used to indicate the status of the charging. The CHG pin is connected to a red LED that is enabled when an external power source is connected and the battery is charging. The second STAT pin is connect­ed to a green LED. When the battery charging transitions from CC to CV mode, then the green LED is blinking with a 50% duty cycle and a period of 1 second. When the battery is fully charged, then the green LED is always on.
Both LEDs are off when there is no external power connected. Truth table for the LED status indicators.

50% duty cycle indicates the LED is pulsed on/off for equal times at a frequency of 1 Hz.
The RED pin and GREEN pin are connected to a regulated driver to ensure that the brightness is independent from the external power. The LEDs need to be connected between the CHG / STAT pins and GND.
Thermal Charger Power FET Regulation
The internal power FET Q2 in the linear charger module is thermally regulated to the junction temperature of 115°C to guarantee optimal charging of the battery. The charge current is limited by the charge current selected in the Charger Con­trol Register but is also thermally limited to prevent the junc­tion from overheating during high charge currents at high ambient temperatures as the package power dissipation is limited.
Thermal regulation guarantees maximum charge current and superior charge rate without exceeding the power dissipation limits of LP3913.

BATTERY CHARGER OPERATING MODES
Pre-Qualification Mode
Lithium batteries cannot be subjected to a high current when the battery voltage is under a certain threshold, otherwise the longevity of the battery would be compromised. Below this threshold of V
FULLRATE
, which typically measures 2.85V, the charger circuit supplies a pre-qualification charge current. If the wall adapter is charging the battery, the charger circuit
supplies a constant current of 10% of the programmed charge current. If the USB is charging the battery, the charger circuit supplies a constant 50 ma charge current. When the battery voltage reaches V
FULL_RATE
, the charger transitions from pre­qualification to full-rate charging. In Pre-qualification mode, the STAT2, STAT1, and STAT0 bits in the charger supervi­sory register are respectively low, low, high.
www.national.com 36
LP3913
Page 37
Full-Rate Charging Mode
The full-rate charge cycle is initiated following the successful completion of the pre-qualification mode. During Full-Rate charging, the battery voltage steadily increases while charged with a constant current (CC). The three charger status bits STAT2, STAT1 and STAT0 are respectively low, high, and low. The full-rate charge current is selected using the Charge Control Register, which defaults to 100 mA.
It is recommended to charge Li-Ion batteries at a rate of 1C, where “C” is the capacity of the battery. As an example, it is recommended to charge a battery with a capacity of 800 mAh at 800 mA, or 1C. Charging at a higher rate may compromise the quality and lifetime of the battery.
Constant-Voltage (CV) Charging Mode
The battery voltage increases rapidly as a result of full-rate charging and once it reaches the programmable termination voltage of either 4.1V, 4.2V or 4.38V, the charger will move to constant-voltage charge mode. During this mode, the charge current gradually decreases while the battery remains at the termination voltage. The termination voltage can be selected to be either 4.1V, 4.2V or 4.38V by programming bits
D6 and D7 in the Charger Control register to accommodate different battery chemistries. In CV charging mode, the Charge Control Status bits STAT2, STAT1 and STAT0 are respectively logic 0, logic 1 and logic 1.
TOP-OFF Charging Mode
When the charge current reduces to the EOC threshold (pro­grammable to 5% or 10% of programmed full rate charge current), constant voltage charging will continue for an addi­tional 21 minute TOP-OFF time period. In TOP-OFF charging mode, the Charge Control Status bits STAT2, STAT1 and STAT0 are respectively logic 1, logic 1 and logic 1. At the end of the TOP-OFF period, the charger transitions to Charge Cy­cle Complete.
Charge Cycle Complete
During Charge Cycle Complete, the charger is automatically disabled, regardless of the state of the Charge Enable Bit. In Charge Cycle Complete, the STAT2, STAT1 and STAT0 bits are respectively logic 1, logic 0 and logic 1. When the Battery Voltage drops below the V
RESTART
threshold, charging will re-
sume in Full-Rate Charging Mode.
30000117
Battery Temperature Monitoring (TS pin)
The LP3913 is equipped with a battery thermistor terminal to continuously monitor the battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and GND. With the TS pin connected to the battery thermistor, charging is allowed only if the battery temperature is within the acceptable tempera­ture range set by a pair of internal comparators inside the LP3910. The temperature window is 0°C–45°C or 0°C–50°C, depending on the setting of D2 of the Charger Supervisory (CHSPV) register. There is 3ºC of temperature hysteresis as­sociated with each temperature threshold. The default tem­perature range is 0°C–50°C and can be changed to 0°C–45° C by setting bit D3 in the CHSPV register. If the battery tem­perature is out of range, STAT2, STAT1 and STAT0 bits in the CHSPV Register are set to logic1, logic0, logic0, and charging is suspended.
The TS pin is only active during charging and draws no current from the battery when no external power source is present.
If the TS pin is not used in the application, it should be con­nected to GND through a 100 k pulldown resistor.
When the TS pin is left floating (battery removal), then the charger will be disabled as the TS voltage exceeds the lower temperature limit.
30000118
Disabling Charger
Charging can be safely interrupted by clearing the Charge enable bit D1 in the Charge Control Register and can subse­quently resume upon setting this bit. When the charger is disabled, STAT2, STAT1, and STAT0 bits in the CHSPV reg­ister are set to logic 0.
Safety Timer
In order to prevent endless charging, which could degrade the battery quality and life time, the LP3913 contains a safety timer that limits charging regardless whether the battery has reached its full capacity or not. In prequalification the safety timer is 1 hour. In full rate or constant voltage charging the
37 www.national.com
LP3913
Page 38
safety timer is a maximum of 10 hours minus the time in pre­qualification.
When the timer times out of uninterrupted charging, an IRQ is generated to alert system processor. The status of the timer can also be polled by reading the IRQ register if the system doesn’t support hardware interrupts.
The Safety timer resets and starts counting from zero upon the following events:
1.
Power ON (through connecting valid power to either USBPWR or CHGN_IN pins).
2.
Interchanging USBPWR and CHG_IN sources
3.
The voltage of a charged battery drops below the restart value and the charger is enabled
4.
Disabling and re-enabling of the charger by toggling bit D1 of the Charge Control Register
5.
Emerging from Thermal Shutdown
6.
Emerging from a battery temperature out-of-range and the charger is enabled
7.
Emerging from USB suspend mode when charging with USB power
Charging Maintenance
When a fully charged battery is being loaded by the system while the external power is present and while bit D1 in the charge control register is set to a 1 (Charge enable) then the charging will restart when the battery voltage drops below the charging restart threshold. The value of the threshold de­pends on the termination voltage according to the following table:

POWER ROUTING
The LP3913 power can originate from three different sources: Adapter power, USB power or battery power. The objective of the power routing is to be able to:
Operate the portable system from external power regardless of the battery voltage.
Operate the portable system from USBPWR when the battery exceeds the Full Rate Qualification Threshold voltage (Vfullrate).
Concurrently charging and operating the system when external power is present
Seamless selection of Adapter or USB power as the primary external power source
Power Routing supports 4 modes:
1.
A regulated external adapter power is present and concurrently supplies the system power and the battery charger.
2.
USB power is present and supplies the system and the battery.
3.
USB power is present but the system demand exceeds the USB current limit, so that the battery provides the additional power to operate the system.
4.
The battery is the sole supply source to the system when no external power source is present
The current flows in the different modes are realized through internal FETS and an external Schottky as illustrated as fol­lows:
www.national.com 38
LP3913
Page 39
30000119
The current provided by the external adapter power or USB power, when inserted, first supplies the system load; the re­mainder is used for charging.
The different paths are configured through two internal power FETs, Q1 and Q2, and an external Schottky diode. Q1 is a Power FET that is only active during USB charging. Q2 func­tions either as a linear Power FET during charging or as a low R

switch when no external power is present and the bat-
tery discharges to supply power to the system.

USB SUSPEND MODE
The LP3913 USB current consumption can be disabled dur­ing suspend mode through a dedicated pin (USBSUSP).
Applying a logic 1 to this pin will disable the USB current path and current is reduced to input leakage current less than 30 µA on the USBPWR pin.
SETTING THE USB CURRENT LIMIT
The USB current that is available from the USB on the VBUS wire is limited by default to 100 mA. More current (up to 800 mA) can be negotiated through a session request proto­col between host and peripheral. The USB current limit needs to be signaled to the LP3913 by means of the USB
ISEL
pin or
the I
LIMIT
Register as indicated below.
If the USB current limit is 100 mA then the USB controller of the peripheral system needs to set the USB
ISEL
logic 0 or by
setting the I
LIMIT
register bits [D1, D0] to 2’b00.
If the USB current limit is 500 mA, then the USB controller needs to apply logic 1 to the USB
ISEL
pin or change the I
LIM-
IT
register accordingly. Under this condition, the LP3913 will allow charging with a charge current that is determined by the Charge Control Register, not exceeding 500 mA.
The LP3913 will prevent (through internal circuitry) the charge current from exceeding the USB current limit, even if the cur­rent setting in the Charge Control Register exceeds 500 mA.
The controller can also select a USB current limit of 800 mA through I2C that exceeds current USB spec values.

ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER
LP3913 is equipped with an 8-bit dual-slope integrating ana­log to digital converter. Dual-slope converters provide effec­tive filtering of >500 kHz and <125 kHz noise components on the input voltage, and does not require a sample and hold stage. The A/D converter core digitizes the input voltage ranging from V
REF
to 2V
REF
, where V
REF
is the voltage mea-
sured on the V
REFH
pin. After an initial 2 ms warm-up for the first activation of the ADC enable bit, the dual-slope converter integrates the input signal during the first phase for approxi­mately 2 ms, followed by a second phase that integrates V
REF
for 0 ms to 2 ms depending on the level of the input signal. As a result the total conversion time varies from 2 ms to 4 ms.
Simplified ADC Block Diagram
30000120
The A/D converter multiplexes 4 different sources:
1.
The battery voltage
2.
The battery charge current
3.
External source ADC1
4.
External source ADC2
The voltage ranges for the first two sources are scaled to match the input voltage interval of the A/D converter: [V
REFH
,
2V
REFH
]. This is accomplished by using two internal scalars.
Battery Voltage Measurement
The battery voltage scalar transforms the battery voltage ranging from 2.6V–3.5V to the reference voltage interval: [V
REFH
, 2*V
REFH
]. A wider voltage range (2.6V–4.4V) can be selected through I2C by setting the voltage range bit D7 in register 0xA to 0’b1.
Battery Charge Current Measurement
The battery charge current is indirectly measured by measur­ing the voltage across the I
SENSE
resistor. A fixed portion of
the battery charge current is mirrored over the I
SENSE
resistor
and hence:
V
ISENSE
= K * I
CHARGE
where K is a ratio between the R
SENSE
current and the charge
current. The battery charge current scalar transforms the voltage
across the external I
SENSE
resistor to the [V
REFH
, 2*V
REFH
] in-
put voltage interval of the A/D converter.
30000121
External General Purpose Sources
Two additional A/D converter sources are available on the ADC1 and ADC2 pins of the LP3913. These two external A/ D converter sources are not internally scaled and have an input voltage range of [V
REFH
, 2*V
REFH
]. The system designer can use these two sources for general purpose applications such as resistive keyboard matrix scanning, temperature measurements, battery load current, battery ID resistor mea­surement, etc.

The ADC is by default disabled to minimize current consump­tion and needs to be enabled by setting D2 in the ADCC register. Writing a logic 1 to bit D3 in the ADC will initiate a conversion. It is advised to select the correct ADC source be­fore a conversion is started. The A/D converter will set bit D4 in the ADCC register upon the completion of a conversion, which is typically 4 ms after the start of the conversion. At the
same time an interrupt request will be generated. (See Inter­rupt Request Register).
To save power, disable the ADC by setting bit 2 of D2 to 0. To make repetitive starts, set bit D3 to 0 then to 1 for register 0Ah to initiate start of conversion. The interrupt driven proto­col between LP3913 and the system processor is the most efficient way to acquire data from successive measurements:
41 www.national.com
LP3913
Page 42
30000123
Interrupt Request Output
The LP3913 has the ability to interrupt the system processor through the open drain IRQB pin, which transitions to an ac­tive logic low level upon the following 8 events:
USB Power detected
USB disconnected
CHG_IN Power detected
CHG_IN Disconnected
Battery low alarm
Thermal Alarm
ADC conversion completed
Charger safety timer time-out
The events form the interrupt sources that correspond to a certain bit location in the Interrupt Request (IRQ) Register. All interrupt sources can be masked by the Interrupt Mask Reg­ister (IMR). Masking the interrupt prevents the interrupt event from asserting the IRQB pin, yet the event will still be captured
in the IRQ register, which allows the processor to poll the in­terrupt sources.
After an active low IRQB has been detected by the system processor, the latter services the interrupt and will access the IRQ register to determine which source was responsible for the interrupt request. Reading the IRQ register will automati­cally clear the register to enable the capture of the next interrupt events.
As new interrupts can occur while the I2C read cycle is clear­ing the IRQ register, a buffer register called Interrupt Pending Register (IPR), not accessible through the I2C compatible in­terface holds the next interrupts. De-asserting the IRQB out­put is immediately followed by a new transition of IRQB to logic low when an interrupt is pending.
The Interrupts are not hardware prioritized. It is up to the firmware to determine the priority in case more than one In­terrupt Request is set.

INTERRUPTS AND STANDBY MODE
Interrupts are captured in standby mode and can be serviced when the system processor is enabled when the LP3913 is in an active state.
INTERRUPT SOURCES CHG_IN Power Detected and CHG_IN Disconnect (INT0
and INT1) An interrupt (INT0) is generated when CHG_IN
power is connected to the LP3913. Another interrupt (INT1) will be generated upon CHG_IN power removal.
USB Power Detected and USB Disconnect (INT2 and INT3) An interrupt (INT2) is generated when USB power is
connected to the LP3913. Another interrupt (INT3) will be generated upon disconnecting the USB power.
Battery Low (INT4) When the battery voltage drops below the battery low threshold IRQ, an interrupt will be generated. This allows the processor to perform some housekeeping tasks prior to going to standby mode.
Thermal Alarm (INT5)If the Junction Temperature of the LP3913 exceeds 115°C, then an interrupt will be generated
ADC Conversion Done (INT6)The ADC generates an inter­rupt request upon the completion of a data conversion.
Charger Timer Interrupt (INT7) A charger timeout will occur 10 hours after it started (see Li-Ion Charger section) and will subsequently request an interrupt.

LINEAR LOW DROP-OUT REGULATORS (LDOS)
LDO1 is a regulator that can respond to fast transients and is slated for digital loads and high bandwidth analog loads. LDO2 is a linear regulator with a similar architecture but has a slower transient response time with a lower noise perfor-
mance to supply analog loads. The output voltages of both LDOs are register programmable through the I2C interface. The default output voltages are factory programmed during Final Test.

NO-LOAD STABILITY
The LDOs will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.

LDO2 CONTROL REGISTER
LDO2 can be configured through its own I2C control register. The output voltage is programmable in steps of 100mV from
1.3V to 3.3V. LDO2 is by default disabled and can be enabled by setting bit D5 in the control register after selecting the ap­propriate D4–0 settings, which determine the output voltage. LDO2 can also be enabled through the external LDO2EN pin, which is the default enable control. With a logic 0 programmed to bit D5 in the corresponding control register, enable/disable control is passed onto the LDO2EN pin; a logic 1 applied to this pin enables LDO2 while a logic 0 disables the LDO2. Setting D5 to 1 in the LDO2 control register enables LDO2, regardless of the state of the LDO2EN pin. If the system de­signer permanently connects the LDO2EN pin to GND, then D5 is simply a enable/disable control bit. If the system design permanently connects the enable pin to VDD, then the LDO is enabled during the power-on sequence and will always be on, regardless of the state of bit D5 in the LDO2 control register. In that particular case, the LDO2 is sequenced with the same timing as LDO1 (see Power On sequencing).

BUCK1, BUCK2: Synchronous Step Down Magnetic DC/DC Converters
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LP3913, incorporates two high efficiency synchronous switching buck regulators, BUCK1 and BUCK2 that deliver a constant voltage from a single Li-Ion battery to the portable system processors, Memory and I/O. Using a voltage mode architecture with synchronous rectification, both bucks have the ability to deliver up to 600 mA depending on the input voltage and output voltage (voltage head room), 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 typ.) 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 BUCK1 and BUCK2 can operate up to a 100% duty cycle (PMOS switch always on). Additional features include soft­start, under-voltage lock-out, current overload protection, and thermal overload protection.
CIRCUIT OPERATION DESCRIPTION
A buck converter contains a control block, a switching PFET connected between input and output, a synchronous rectify­ing NFET connected between the output and ground (BCK­GND pin) and a feedback path. During the first portion of each switching cycle, the control block turns on the internal PFET switch. This allows current to flow from the input through the inductor to the output filter capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a ramp with a slope of VIN-V
OUT
/L.
by storing energy in a magnetic field. During the second por­tion of each cycle, the control block turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the input, and then turns the NFET synchronous rectifier on. The inductor draws current from ground through the NFET to the output filter capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor current down with a slope of
The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when low, smoothing the voltage across the load.
PWM OPERATION
During PWM operation the converter operates as a voltage­mode controller with input voltage feed forward. This allows the converter to achieve excellent load and line regulation. The DC gain of the power stage is proportional to the input voltage. To eliminate this dependence, feed forward voltage inversely proportional to the input voltage is introduced.
INTERNAL SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION
While in PWM mode, the buck uses an internal NFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier forward voltage drop
and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification pro­vides a significant improvement in efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier diode.
CURRENT LIMITING
A current limit feature allows the buck to protect itself and ex­ternal components during overload conditions PWM mode implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 1000 mA (typical).
PFM OPERATION
At very light loads, the converter enters PFM mode and op­erates with reduced switching frequency and supply current to maintain high efficiency.
The part will automatically transition into PFM mode when ei­ther of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or more clock cycles:
The inductor current becomes discontinuous orThe peak PMOS switch current drops below the I
MODE
level
During PFM operation, the converter positions the output volt­age slightly higher than the nominal output voltage during PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage drop during a load transient from light to heavy load. The PFM comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback pin and control the switching of the output FETs such that the output voltage ramps between 0.8% and 1.6% (typical) above the nominal PWM output voltage. If the output voltage is be­low the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power switch is turned on. It remains on until the output voltage ex­ceeds the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds the I
PFM
level set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in
PFM mode is:
Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS power switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps to zero. When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected, the NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output voltage is be­low the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see figure 4), the PMOS switch is again turned on and the cycle is repeated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold, the NMOS switch is turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and then both output switches are turned off and the part enters an ex­tremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this ‘sleep’ mode is less than 30 µA, which allows the part to achieve high efficiencies under extremely light load condi­tions. When the output drops below the ‘low’ PFM threshold, the cycle repeats to restore the output voltage to ≈1.6% above the nominal PWM output voltage.
If the load current should increase during PFM mode (see figure 4) causing the output voltage to fall below the ‘low2’ PFM threshold, the part will automatically transition into fixed­frequency PWM mode.

BUCK1, BUCK2 OPERATION
BUCK1 is recommended to be used as the processor core supply and has I2C selectable output voltages ranging from
0.8V to 2.0V (Typ.). BUCK2 is recommended for IO power, Memory power and logic power. Its voltage range can be pro­grammed using the I2C interface from 1.8V to 3.3V (Typ.). The default output voltage for each buck converter is factory pro­grammable (See Application Notes).
The system designer can also determine the output voltage of either BUCK1 or BUCK2 through an external feedback re­sistor ladder by clearing the output voltage selection field in the BUCK1 or BUCK2 control registers.
External Control of Buck Output Voltage through
Feedback Resistor Ladder
30000131
BUCK1, BUCK2 CONTROL REGISTERS AND BUCK1EN PIN
BUCK1 and BUCK2 are configurable through I2C accessible registers. Bit fields D4–0 control the output voltage. Bit D5 defines the Modulation mode of the buck, which by default automatically selects PWM or PFM mode depending on the load as described above in the functional description. The modulation mode can be forced to PWM mode regardless of the load by setting bit D5 to a logic 1 in the corresponding buck control register.
Bit D6 controls the enable/disable state of the buck, which is different for BUCK1 and BUCK2 as BUCK1 has an external enable pin: BUCK1EN.
For BUCK1, by default or when D6 is programmed logic 0 in the BUCK1 control register, enable/disable control is passed onto the BUCK1EN pin. A logic 1 applied to this pin enables BUCK1 while a logic 0 disables BUCK1. Setting D6 to 1 in the BUCK1 control register enables BUCK1, regardless of the state of the BUCK1EN pin. If the system designer permanently connects the BUCK1EN pin to GND, then D6 is simply a en­able/disable control bit. If the system design permanently connects the enable pin to VDD, then the BUCK1 is enabled during the power-on sequence and will always be on, regard­less of the state of bit D6 in the BUCK1 control register (see Power On sequencing).
BUCK2 is by default enabled during the power-on sequence and can be enabled/disabled through bit D6 in the BUCK2 control register.

BUCK3: Synchronous Magnetic DC/ DC Converter
The LP3913 is equipped with a synchronous Buck3 magnetic DC-DC converter to supply power to the Flash memory that has a typical 1.7V-3.3V operating voltage. This voltage is low­er than the maximum battery voltage (4.2V typically for Li­polymer cells) and higher than the minimum battery voltage
(typically 2.8V). Therefore, in order to provide 3.3V, regard­less of the battery voltage, the Buck3 converter efficiently steps down the battery voltage. The Buck3 automatically switches between PWM and PFM modes depending on the load.
By setting bit D6 of the Buck3 control register, the Buck3 will be forced to operate using PWM modulation regardless of the load. By default, this bit is cleared.
Schematic Section for Buck3 Operation
30000132
BUCK3 CONTROL REGISTER
Buck3 is controlled through its dedicated control register. Buck3 is enabled through the power-on sequencing. The sys­tem processor is required to select the desired Buck3 output voltage through bits D4-0 before enabling it by setting bit D6 in the control register. Buck3 is also disabled when 5'b00000
is programmed in the register field D4-0, regardless of the state of the bit D6. When Buck3 is disabled, its output is in­ternally tied low through a 1M resistor. If D4-0 is set to 5'b00000, the 1M resistor is disconnected.
The default output voltage for the buck can be set to 1.8V,
2.5V, 2.8V, 3.3V, and is factory programmable.

Application Notes
COMPONENT SELECTION
Inductors for BUCK1, BUCK2 and BUCK3
There are two main considerations when choosing an induc­tor; the inductor should not saturate and the inductor current ripple is small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Care should be taken when reviewing the different sat­uration current ratings that are specified by different manu­facturers.
Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25ºC, so ratings at maximum ambient temperature of the application should be requested from the manufacturer.
There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation cur­rent rating:
Method 1:The saturation current is greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case average to peak inductor current. This can be written as follows:
30000133
I
RIPPLE
: Average to peak inductor current
I
OUTMAX
: Maximum load current
VIN: Maximum input voltage to the buck
L: Min inductor value including worse case
tolerances (30% drop can be considered for method 1)
f: Minimum switching frequency (1.6 mHz)
V
OUT
: Buck Output voltage
Method 2:A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that has saturation current rating greater than the maximum current limit of TBA.

External Capacitors
The regulators on the LP3913 require external capacitors for regulator stability. These are specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly se­lected for good performance.
LDO CAPACITOR SELECTION
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0 µF capacitor be connected between the LDO input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.
Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic fail­ures due to surge currents when connected to a low impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large ca­pacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rat­ing sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and tem­perature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain approximately
1.0 µF over the entire operating temperature range.
Output Capacitor
The LDOs on the LP3913 are designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor (temperature types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) with ESR be­tween 5 m to 500 m, are suitable in the application circuit.
It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, C
OUT
(or V
OUT
), but these are not as attractive
for reasons of size and cost. The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the min-
imum value of capacitance and also have an ESR value that is within the range 5 m to 500 m for stability.
Capacitor Characteristics
The LDOs are designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer. For capacitance values in the range of 0.47 µF to 4.7 µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a typical 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 m to 40 m, which easily meets the ESR requirement for stability for the LDO’s.
For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation. The capacitor value can change greatly, depend­ing on the operating conditions and capacitor type.
In particular, the output capacitor selection should take ac­count of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure that the specification is met within the application. The capacitance can vary with DC bias conditions as well as temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging. The capacitor parameters are also dependent on the particular case size, with smaller sizes giving poorer performance figures in general. As an ex­ample, the graph below shows a typical graph comparing different capacitor case sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC Bias plot.
53 www.national.com
LP3913
Page 54
Graph Showing a Typical Variation
in Capacitance vs. DC Bias
30000135
As shown in the graph, increasing the DC Bias condition can result in the capacitance value that falls below the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor specifications ta­ble. Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers’ specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions, as some capacitor sizes (e.g. 0402) may not be suitable in the actual application.
The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with tempera­ture. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a temper­ature range of −55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R has a similar toler­ance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. Many large value ceramic capacitors, larger than 1 μF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their capacitance can drop by more than 50% as the tem­perature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R is recom­mended over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the
0.47 μF to 4.7 μF range. Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors
have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capac­itor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from +25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
Noise Bypass Capacitors for V
REFH
Pin
Connecting respectively 100 nF and 1 nF grounded bypass capacitors to the V
REFH
pin significantly reduces noise on the
LDO outputs. V
REFH
is a high impedance nodes connected to a bandgap reference used for the LDOs. Any significant load­ing on this node will cause a change on the regulated output voltages. For this reason, DC leakage current through these pins must be kept as low as possible for best output voltage accuracy. The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitors are ceramic and film capacitors. High­quality ceramic capacitors with either NPI or COG dielectric typically have very low leakage. Polypropylene and polycar­bonate film capacitors are available in small surface-mount
packages and typically have extremely low leakage current. Residual solder flux is another potential source of leakage, which mandates thorough cleaning of the assembled PCBs.
Input Capacitor Selection for BUCK1, BUCK2 and BUCK3
A ceramic input capacitor of 10 μF, 6.3V is sufficient for the magnetic DC/DC converters. Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the input of the device. A large value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. The recommend­ed capacitor types are X7R or X5R. Y5V type capacitors should not be used. DC bias characteristics of ceramic ca­pacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and 0603. The input filter capacitor supplies current to the PFET switch of the DC/DC converter in the first half of each cycle and reduces voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. A ceramic capacitor’s low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) provides the best noise filtering of the in­put voltage spikes due to fast current transients. A capacitor with sufficient ripple current rating should be selected. The Input current ripple can be calculated as:
30000136
The worse case is when VIN = 2V
OUT
Output Capacitor Selection for BUCK1, BUCK2 and BUCK3
A 10 μF, 6.3V ceramic capacitor should be used on the output of the BUCK1 and BUCK2 magnetic DC/DC converters. BUCK3 needs a 22 μF capacitor. The output capacitor needs to be mounted as close as possible to the output of the device. A large value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. The recommended capacitor types are X7R or X5R. Y5V type capacitors should not be used. DC bias characteristics of ce­ramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and 0603. DC bias characteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and DC bias curves should be requested from them and analyzed as part of the capacitor selection process.
The output filter capacitor of the magnetic DC/DC converter smoothes out current flow from the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESD to perform these functions.
The output voltage ripple is caused by the charging and the discharging of the output capacitor and also due to its ESR and can be calculated as follows:
30000137
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to ESR can be expressed as follows:
V
PP-ESR
= 2 * I
RIPPLE
* R
ESR

Page 55
Because the V
PP-C
and V
PP-ESR
are out of phase, the RMS value can be used to get an approximate value of the peak­to-peak ripple:
30000138
Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the induc­tor current ripple and the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor (R
ESR
). The R
ESR
is frequency dependent as
well as temperature dependent. The R
ESR
should be calcu­lated with the applicable switching frequency and ambient temperature.

A Schottky diode is required in the external adapter path to block the reverse current from either the USB or the battery source. The most critical parameter in the selection of the right Schottky diode is the leakage current, which needs to be be­low 10 µA over the temperature range in order to prevent false detection of the presence of an external adapter. In addition the Schottky diode should have a maximum voltage rating of 10V or higher. The current rating depends on the current limit of the adapter. The forward voltage should be limited to 500 mV at its maximum current. The recommended Schottky diode is MBRA210ET3 from ON Semiconductor which has a reverse leakage current under 1 µA at room temperature and a forward voltage drop of 500 mV at their max rated current IF = 2A.
RESISTORS
Battery Thermistor
The LP3913 battery thermistor bias provided by the TS pin is tailored to thermistors with the following specification:
Negative Temperature Coefficient 100 k resistance
A suitable solution is available from AVX thermistors: AVXNB21250104 http://www.avxcorp.com/docs/Catalogs/nb21-23.pdf
I2C Pullup Resistors
I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL terminals need to have pullup resistors connected to the V
DDIO
pin. V
DDIO
must be connected to a
power supply that is less than or equal to VDD, such as Buck2. The values of the pull-up resistors (typ. ≈1.8 k) are deter­mined by the capacitance of the bus. Too large of a resistor combined with a given bus capacitance will result in a rise time that would violate the max rise time specification. Too small of a resistor will result in a contention with the pull-down transistor on either slave(s) or master.
R
IREF
Resistor
The current through this resistor is used as a reference cur­rent that biases many analog circuits inside the LP3913 and needs to have a resistance of 121 kΩ ±1%
R
ISENSE
Resistor
The current through this resistor is used as a reference cur­rent for the charge current. The accuracy of the ADC is dependent on the tolerance of this resistor. R
ISENSE
needs to
have a resistance of 4.64 kΩ ±1% tolerance.
Operation without I2C Interface
Operation of the LP3913 without the I2C interface is possible if the system can operate with default values for the DC/DC converters and the charger. (Read below: Factory pro­grammable options). The I2C-less system must use the POW­ERACK pin to power cycle the LP3913.
I2C Master Power Concern
The processor that contains the I2C master should be pow­ered by BUCK1 or LDO2 as these converters require no I2C access to enable/disable them. If the I2C master were to be powered by a DC/DC converter that is enable/disabled through a control register, then a corrupted application soft­ware execution could by accident disable the power to the I2C master, which in this case has no means to recover. It is possible that the regulator connected to V
DDIO
could acciden­tally disable, in which case the processor should be able to recognize that communication has been broken and then power down the system to allow for a clean restart.
System Operation When the Load Current Exceeds the USB or Adapter Current Limit
In the event that the system requires current that exceeds the current limit of either the USB or the adapter source, then the battery can provide the extra power provided that it has been charged. It is clear that a long sustained overload will even­tually discharge the battery such that its extra power will no

longer be sufficient to properly operate the system. This will be the case when the system is for instance operated from a USB host with a 100 mA current limit.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
For good performance of the circuit, it is essential to place the input and output capacitors very close to the circuit and use wide routing for the traces allowing high currents.
Sensitive components should be placed far from those com­ponents with high pulsating current.
Decoupling capacitors should be close to circuit’s VIN pins. Digital and analog ground should be routed separately and connected together in a star connection.
It’s good practice to minimize high current and switching cur­rent paths.
LDO Regulators
Place the filter capacitors very close to the input and output pins. Use large trace width for high current carrying traces and the returns to ground.
BUCK Regulators
Place the supply bypass, filter capacitor and inductor close together and keep the traces short. The traces between these components carry relatively high switching current and act as antennas. Following these rules reduces radiated noise.
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction.
Connect the buck ground and the ground of the capacitors together using generous component-side copper fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then connect this back to the general board system ground plane at a single point. Place the pseu­do-ground plane below these components and then have it tied to system ground of the output capacitor outside of the current loops. This prevents the switched current from inject­ing noise into the system ground. These components along with the inductor and output should be placed on the same side of the circuit board, and their connections should be made on the same layer.
Route the noise sensitive traces such as the voltage feedback path away from the inductor. This is done by routing it on the bottom layer or by adding a grounded copper area between switching node and feedback path. Noisy traces between the power components and keep any digital lines away from this section. Keep the feedback node as small as possible so that the ground pin and ground traces will shield it from the SW or buck output.
Use wide traces between the power components and for power connections to the DC-DC converter circuit. This re­duces voltage errors caused by resistive losses.
Thermal Performance of the LLP Package
The LP3913 is a monolithic device with integrated power FETs. For that reason, it is important to pay special attention to the thermal impedance of the LLP package and to the PCB layout rules in order to maximize power dissipation of the LLP package.
The LLP package is designed for enhanced thermal perfor­mance and features an exposed die attach pad at the bottom center of the package that creates a direct path to the PCB for maximum power dissipation. Compared to the traditional leaded packages where the die attach pad is embedded in­side the molding compound, the LLP reduces one layer in the thermal path.
The thermal advantage of the LLP package is fully realized only when the exposed die attach pad is soldered down to a thermal land on the PCB board with thermal vias planted un-
derneath the thermal land. Based on thermal analysis of the LLP package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJ) can be improved by a factor of two when the die attach pad of the LLP package is soldered directly onto the PCB with thermal land and thermal vias, as opposed to an alternative with no direct soldering to a thermal land. Typical pitch and outer diameter for thermal vias are 1.27 mm and 0.33 mm respectively. Typical copper via barrel plating is 1 oz., al­though thicker copper may be used to further improve thermal performance. The LP3913 die attach pad is connected to the substrate of the IC and therefore, the thermal land and vias on the PCB board need to be connected to ground (GND pin).
