LP3925
High Performance Power Management Unit for Handset
Applications
General Description
Features
The LP3925 is designed to meet the power management re-
quirements of the latest 3G/GSM/GPRS/EDGE cellular
phones. The LP3925 PMU contains a single-input Li-Ion bat-
tery charger, 14 low-dropout voltage regulators including 3
wide-input, low-output, regulators, 3 buck regulators, a USB
Transceiver, two comparators, two TCXO buffers, SIM level
shifter, 12-bit ADC, real time clock, and backup battery charg-
er. Programming is handled via an I2C-compatible high-speed
Serial Interface allowing control of program on/off conditions
and the output voltages of individual regulators, and to read
status information of the PMU.

It can charge and maintain a single cell Li-Ion battery operat-
ing from an AC adapter or USB power source.
15 LDOs
10 General-type Low-Noise LDOs
8 x 300 mA
2 x 80 mA

The Li-Ion charger requires few external components and in-
tegrates the power FET. Charging is thermally regulated to
obtain the most efficient charging rate for a given ambient
temperature.
Three wide-input low-output (WILO) LDOs, all capable
of supplying up to 300 mA
—
A built-in Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) circuit at the charger
input protects the PMU from input voltages up to +28V elim-
inating the need for any external protection circuitry.
1 micro-power LDO with IOUT 30 mA
1 high-voltage USB LDO

S/W controllable outputs
Buck regulators have an automatic switch to ECO mode at
low load conditions providing very good efficiency at low out-
put currents.
Outputs configurable for pulldown
Two Comparators and Two TCXO Buffers

USB 2.0-compatible Transceiver (12 Mb/s)
12-bit A/D Converter for battery management and external
monitoring
General-type “PERFECT” LDO regulators provide excellent
PSRR and ULTRA LOW NOISE, 10 µV typ., ideally suited for
supplying voltage to RF section.

The real-time clock/calendar provides time interval informa-
tion as well as two programmable alarms.
Three controllable current sinks for Keypad LEDs
Backup battery charger
To accommodate different baseband requirements, the
LP3925 PMU has different default voltage settings and start-
up sequences. Two general-purpose comparators can be
used for detecting external accessories like ear-phones etc.
Power conversion and signal level shifting circuits are pro-
vided to allow SIM interfacing.
Thermal Shutdown with Early Warning Alarm
Momentary Power Loss detection
Interrupt Request to reduce S/W polling
