3 Description
The LP3907 device is a multi-function, programmable
power management unit (PMU) optimized for low-
power FPGAs, microprocessors, and DSPs. This
device integrates two highly efficient 1-A, 600-mA
step-down DC-DC converters with dynamic voltage
scaling (DVS), two 300-mA linear regulators, and a
400-kHz I2C interface to allow a host controller
access to the internal control registers of the device.
The LP3907 additionally features programmable
power-on sequencing.
Features include programmable power-on
sequencing, communication control (I2C), dynamic
voltage scaling, overcurrent protection, Power Good,
synchronous rectification, thermal shutdown, and
undervoltage lockout. For applications requiring light
loads, the high-efficiency synchronous switching buck
regulators enter PFM mode and operate with reduced
switching frequency and supply current to maintain
high efficiency at very light loads.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions (Bucks). Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
(3) 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 (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP (RθJA × PD-MAX).

(1) 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.
(2) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ= 160°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ= 140°C (typical).
(3) 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 (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the

(1) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
(2) Minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) limits are ensured by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not ensured, but do
represent the most likely norm.
(3) CIN, COUT: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.
(4) The device maintains a stable, regulated output voltage without a load.
(5) Dropout voltage is the voltage difference between the input and the output at which the output voltage drops to 100 mV below its
nominal value.
(6) Quiescent current is defined here as the difference in current between the input voltage source and the load at VOUT.
(7) VIN minimum for line regulation values is 1.8 V.
(8) Pins 24, 19 can operate from VIN min of 1.74 V to a VIN max of 5.5 V. This rating is only for the series pass PMOS power FET. It allows
the system design to use a lower voltage rating if the input voltage comes from a buck output.
(9) Limits apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation, 40°C to +125°C.
(10) The IQcan be defined as the standing current of the LP3907 when the I2C bus is active and all other power blocks have been disabled
with the I2C bus, or it can be defined as the I2C bus active, and the other power blocks are active under no load condition. These two
values can be used by the system designer when the LP3907 is powered using a battery.
(11) The IQexhibits a higher current draw when the EN pin is de-asserted because the I2C buffer pins draw an additional 2 µA.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 DC-DC Converters
8.3.1.1 Linear Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)
LDO1 and LDO2 are identical linear regulators targeting analog loads characterized by low noise requirements.
LDO1 and LDO2 are enabled through the ENLDO pin or through the corresponding LDO1 or LDO2 control
register. The output voltages of both LDOs are register programmable. The default output voltages are factory
programmed during final test, which can be tailored to the specific needs of the system designer.
Figure 30. LDO Block Diagram
8.3.1.2 No-Load Stability
The LDOs remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some
circuits, for example, CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
8.3.1.3 LDO and LDO2 Control Registers
LDO1 and LDO2 can be configured by means of the LDO1 and LDO2 control registers. The output voltage is
programmable in steps of 100 mV from 1 V to 3.5 V by programming bits D4-D0 in the LDO Control registers.
Both LDO1 and LDO2 are enabled by applying a logic 1 to the ENLDO1 and ENLDO2 pin. Enable/disable control
is also provided through enable bit of the LDO1 and LDO2 control registers. The value of the enable LDO bit in
the register is logic 1 by default. The output voltage can be altered while the LDO is enabled.
8.3.2 SW1, SW2: Synchronous Step-Down Magnetic DC-DC Converters
8.3.2.1 Functional Description
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.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2.2 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
(1)
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
(2)
The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when low, smoothing the voltage
across the load.
8.3.2.3 PWM Operation
During PWM operation the converter operates as a voltage-mode 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.
8.3.2.4 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.
8.3.2.5 Current Limiting
A current limit feature allows the converter to protect itself and external components during overload conditions.
PWM mode implements current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 1.5 A for Buck1 and at 1 A for
Buck2 (typical). If the output is shorted to ground the device enters a timed current limit mode where the NFET is
turned on for a longer duration until the inductor current falls below a low threshold, ensuring inductor current has
more time to decay, thereby preventing runaway.
8.3.2.6 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 automatically transitions into PFM mode when either of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or
more clock cycles:
A. The inductor current becomes discontinuous, or
B. The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE level

Feature Description (continued)
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 with 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 low 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 IPFM level set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in PFM mode is:
(4)
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 31), 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 approximately
1.6% above the nominal PWM output voltage.
If the load current increases during PFM mode (see Figure 31) causing the output voltage to fall below the ‘low2’
PFM threshold, the part automatically transitions into fixed-frequency PWM mode.
8.3.2.7 SW1, SW2 Operation
SW1 and SW2 have selectable output voltages ranging from 0.8 V to 3.5 V (typical). Both SW1 and SW2 in the
LP3907 are I2C register controlled and are enabled by default through the internal state machine of the device
following a power-on event that moves the operating mode to the Active state. (See Flexible Power Sequencing
of Multiple Power Supplies.) The SW1 and SW2 output voltages revert to default values when the power-on
sequence has been completed. The default output voltage for each buck converter is factory programmable.
(See Application and Implementation.)
8.3.2.8 SW1, SW2 Control Registers
SW1, SW2 can be enabled/disabled through the corresponding control register.
The Modulation mode PWM/PFM is by default automatic and depends on the load as described above in the
functional description. The modulation mode can be overridden by setting I2C bit to a logic 1 in the corresponding
buck control register, forcing the buck to operate in PWM mode regardless of the load condition.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2.9 Soft Start
The soft-start feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state operating point, thus
reducing start-up stresses and surges. The two LP3907 buck converters have a soft-start circuit that limits in-
rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated
only if EN goes from logic low to logic high after VIN reaches 2.8V. Soft start is implemented by increasing switch
current limit in steps of 180 mA, 300 mA, and 720 mA for Buck1; 161 mA, 300 mA, and 536 mA for Buck2
(typical switch current limit). The start-up time thereby depends on the output capacitor and load current
demanded at start-up.
8.3.2.10 Low Dropout Operation
The LP3907 can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching; PMOS switch completely on) for low dropout support
of the output voltage. In this way the output voltage is controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage. When
the device operates near 100% duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV. The minimum input
voltage needed to support the output voltage is:
VIN, MIN = ILOAD × (RDSON, PFET + RINDUCTOR)+VOUT
where
ILOAD = Load current
RDSON, PFET = Drain to source resistance of PFET switch in the triode region
RINDUCTOR = Inductor resistance (5)
8.3.2.11 Flexible Power Sequencing of Multiple Power Supplies
The LP3907 provides several options for power on sequencing. The two bucks can be individually controlled with
ENSW1 and ENSW2. The two LDOs can also be individually controlled with ENLDO1 and ENLDO2.
If the user desires a set power on sequence, the chip is programmable through I2C and raise EN_T from LOW to
HIGH to activate the power on sequencing.
8.3.2.12 Power-Up Sequencing Using the EN_T Function
EN_T assertion causes the LP3907 to emerge from Standby mode to Full Operation mode at a preset timing
sequence. By default, the enables for the LDOs and Bucks (ENLDO1, ENLDO2, EN_T, ENSW1, ENSW2) are
500 KΩinternally pulled down, which causes the part to stay OFF until enabled. If the user wishes to use the
preset timing sequence to power on the regulators, transition the EN_T pin from Low to High. Otherwise, simply
tie the enables of each specific regulator HIGH to turn on automatically.
EN_T is edge triggered with rising edge signaling the chip to power on. The EN_T input is deglitched, and the
default is set at 1 ms. As shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33, a rising EN_T edge starts a power-on sequence,
while a falling EN_T edge starts a shutdown sequence. If EN_T is high, toggling the external enables of the
regulators has no effect on the chip.
The regulators can also be programmed through I2C to turn on and off. By default, I2C enables for the regulators
turned ON.
The regulators are on following the pattern below:
Regulators on = (I2C enable) AND (External pin enable OR EN_T high).
NOTE
The EN_T power-up sequencing may also be employed immediately after VIN is applied to
the device. However, VIN must be stable for approximately 8 ms minimum before EN_T be
asserted high to ensure internal bias, reference, and the Flexible POR timing are
stabilized. This initial EN_T delay is necessary only upon first time device power on for
power sequencing function to operate properly. If the device is powered, the EN_T logic
must be stable for 12 ms minimum before switching state.

8.3.3 Flexible Power-On Reset (Power Good with Delay)
The LP3907 is equipped with an internal power-on-reset (POR) circuit which monitors the output voltage levels
on Bucks 1 and 2. The nPOR is an open drain logic output which is logic LOW when either of the buck outputs
are below 91% of the rising value, or when one or both outputs fall below 82% of the desired value. The time
delay between output voltage level and nPOR is enabled is (50 µs, 50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms) 50 ms by default.
The system designer can choose the external pullup resistor (that is, 100 k) for the nPOR pin.

Figure 35 shows the simplest application of the POR, where both switcher enables are tied together. In Case 1,
EN1 causes nPOR to transition LOW and triggers the nPOR delay counter. If the power supply for Buck2 does
not come on within that period, nPOR stays LOW, indicating a power fail mode. Case 2 indicates the vice versa
scenario if Buck1 supply did not come on. In both cases the nPOR remains LOW.
Case 3 shows a typical application of the POR, where both switcher enables are tied together. Even if RDY1
ramps up slightly faster than RDY2 (or vice versa), then nPOR signal triggers a programmable delay before
going HIGH, as explained below.
Figure 36. Faults Occurring in Counter Delay After Start-Up
Figure 36 details the power good with delay with respect to the enable signals EN1, and EN2. The RDY1, RDY2
are internal signals derived from the output of two comparators. Each comparator has been trimmed as follows:
COMPARATOR LEVEL BUCK SUPPLY LEVEL
HIGH Greater than 94%
LOW Less than 85%
The circuits for EN1 and RDY1 is symmetrical to EN2 and RDY2, so each reference to EN1 and RDY1 also
works for EN2 and RDY2 and vice versa.
If EN1 and RDY1 signals are High at time t1, then the RDY1 signal rising edge triggers the programmable delay
counter (50 μs, 50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms). This delay forces nPOR LOW between time interval t1 and t2. nPOR is
then pulled high after the programmable delay is completed. Now if EN2 and RDY2 are initiated during this
interval the nPOR signal ignores this event.
If either RDY1or RDY2 were to go LOW at t3 then the programmable delay is triggered again.

Figure 37. nPOR Mask Window
If the EN1 and RDY1 are initiated in normal operation, then nPOR is asserted and deasserted as explained in
Figure 37.
Case 1 shows the case where EN2 and RDY2 are initiated after triggered programmable delay. To prevent the
nPOR being asserted again, a masked window (5 ms) counter delay is triggered off the EN2 rising edge. nPOR
is still held HIGH for the duration of the mask, whereupon the nPOR status afterwards depends on the status of
both RDY1 and RDY2 lines.
Case 2 shows the case where EN2 is initiated after the RDY1 triggered programmable delay, but RDY2 never
goes HIGH (Buck2 never turns on). Normal operation operation of nPOR occurs wilth respect to EN1 and RDY1,
and the nPOR signal is held HIGH for the duration of the mask window. We see that nPOR goes LOW after the
masking window has timed out because it is now dependent on RDY1 and RDY2, where RDY2 is LOW.

Figure 38. Design Implementation of the Flexible Power-On Reset
An internal power-on reset of the device is used with EN1, and EN2 to produce a reset signal (LOW) to the delay
timer nPOR. EN1 and RDY1 or EN2 and RDY2 are used to generate the set signal (HIGH) to the delay timer. S
= R = 1 never occurs. The mask timers are triggered off EN1 and EN2 which are gated with RDY1, and RDY2 to
generate outputs to the final AND gate to generate the nPOR.
8.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout
The LP3907 features an undervoltage lockout circuit. The function of this circuit is to continuously monitor the
raw input supply voltage (VINLDO12) and automatically disables the four voltage regulators whenever this supply
voltage is less than 2.8 VDC.
The circuit incorporates a bandgap based circuit that establishes the reference used to determine the 2.8 VDC
trip point for a VIN OK Not OK detector. This VIN OK signal is then used to gate the enable signals to the four
regulators of the device. When VINLDO12 is greater than 2.8 VDC the four enables control the four regulators,
when VINLDO12 is less than 2.8 VDC the four regulators are disabled by the VIN detector being in the “Not OK”
state. The circuit has built-in hysteresis to prevent chattering occurring.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Shutdown Mode
During shutdown the PFET switch, reference, control and bias circuitry of the converters are turned off. The
NFET switch is on in shutdown to discharge the output. When the converter is enabled, soft start is activated. It
is recommended to disable the converter during the system power up and undervoltage conditions when the
supply is less than 2.8 V.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C-Compatible Serial Interface
8.5.1.1 I2C Signals
The LP3907features an I2C-compatible serial interface, using two dedicated pins: SCL and SDA for I2C clock and
data respectively. Both signals need a pullup resistor according to the I2C specification. The LP3907 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 400kbit/s. See I2C
specification from NXP Semiconductors for further details.
8.5.1.2 I2C Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL); for example, the state
of the data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW.
Figure 39. I2C Signals: Data Validity
8.5.1.3 I2C Start and Stop Conditions
START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. START condition is defined as the
SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while the SCL line is HIGH. STOP condition is defined as the SDA
transitioning from LOW to HIGH while the SCL is HIGH. The 2C master always generates START and STOP
bits. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after START condition and free after STOP condition. During data
transmission, I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START
conditions are equivalent, function-wise.
Figure 40. Start and Stop Conditions
8.5.1.4 Transferring Data
Every byte put on the 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 SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver
must pull down the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying acknowledgment. A receiver which has been
addressed must generate an acknowledgment (“ACK”) after each byte has been received.
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).

NOTE
According to industry I2C standards for 7-bit addresses, the MSB of an 8-bit address is
removed, and communication actually starts with the 7th most significant bit. For the
eighth bit (LSB), a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte
selects the register to which the data is written. The third byte contains data to write to the
selected register.
The LP3907 has factory-programmed I2C addresses. The WQFN chip has a chip address of 60'h, while the
DSBGA chip has a chip address of 61'h.

This register allows the Buck switcher clock frequency to be spread across a wider range, allowing for less
Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI). The spread spectrum modulation frequency refers to the rate at which the
frequency ramps up and down, centered at 2 MHz.
Figure 44. Spread Spectrum Modulation Frequency
This register also allows dynamic scaling of the nPOR Delay Timing. The LP3907 is equipped with an internal
POR circuit which monitors the output voltage levels on the buck regulators, allowing the user to more actively
monitor the power status of the chip.
The UVLO feature continuously monitor the raw input supply voltage (VINLDO12) and automatically disables the
four voltage regulators whenever this supply voltage is less than 2.8 VDC. This prevents the user from damaging
the power source (such as battery), but can be disabled if the user wishes.
Note that if the supply to VDD_M is close to 2.8 V with a heavy load current on the regulators, the chip is in
danger of powering down due to UVLO. If the user wishes to keep the chip active under those conditions, enable
the Bypass UVLO feature.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LP3907 provides three control methods to turn ON/OFF four power rails:
1. EN_T Control: Provides pre-defined power up/down sequence. (Note: VIN/Battery voltage must be settled
approximately 8 ms, minimum, before EN_T be asserted high).
2. Individual GPIO/EN pin control: four EN pins provide max control flexibility without I2C.
3. I2C control: besides simple ON/OFF control, also provides access to all the user programmable registers.
See Register Maps for details.

9.2.2.2 Component Selection
9.2.2.2.1 Inductors for SW1 And SW2
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor must not saturate and the inductor
current ripple is small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Care must 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 must be requested
from the manufacturer.
There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation current rating:
9.2.2.2.1.1 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:
where
IRIPPLE = Maximum load current
IOUTMAX = Average to peak inductor 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)
VOUT = Buck output voltage (6)
9.2.2.2.1.2 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 1250 mA for Buck1 and 1750 mA for Buck2.
Given a peak-to-peak current ripple (IPP) the inductor needs to be at least

9.2.2.2.2 External Capacitors
The regulators on the LP3907 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.
9.2.2.3 LDO Capacitor Selection
9.2.2.3.1 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1-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 (such as a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the
input, it must be ensured by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the equivalent series resistance (ESR) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and
temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance remains
approximately 1 μF over the entire operating temperature range.
9.2.2.3.2 Output Capacitor
The LDOs on the LP3907 are designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 0.47-µF
ceramic capacitor (temperature types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) with ESR between 5 mto 500 m, is suitable in the
application circuit.
It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, COUT (or VOUT), but these are not as
attractive for reasons of size and cost.
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR
value that is within the range 5 mto 500 mfor stability.
9.2.2.3.3 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-µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mto 40 m, which easily meets the ESR
requirement for stability for the LDOs.
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, Figure 46 is a typical graph comparing different capacitor case
sizes.

Figure 46. Graph Showing Typical Variation in Capacitance vs. DC Bias
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 (for example, 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, only varies 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 changes 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. Note, also, that the ESR of a typical tantalum increases about 2:1 as the
temperature goes from 25°C down to 40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
9.2.2.3.4 Input Capacitor Selection for SW1 And SW2
A ceramic input capacitor of 10 µF, 6.3 V is sufficient for the magnetic DC-DC converters. Place the input
capacitor as close to the input of the device as possible. 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 provides the best
noise filtering of the input voltage spikes due to fast current transients. A capacitor with sufficient ripple current
rating must be selected. The Input current ripple can be calculated as:

9.2.2.3.5 Output Capacitor Selection for SW1, SW2
A 10-μF, 6.3-V ceramic capacitor must be used on the output of the SW1 and SW2 magnetic DC-DC converters.
The output capacitor must be mounted as close to the output of the device as possible. 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 smooths 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 discharging of the output capacitor and also due to its
ESR and can be calculated as follows:
(9)
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to ESR can be expressed as follows:
VPP–ESR = 2 × IRIPPLE × RESR (10)
Because the VPP-C and VPP-ESR are out of phase, the rms value can be used to get an approximate value of the
peak-to-peak ripple:
(11)
Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series
resistance of the output capacitor (RESR). The RESR is frequency dependent as well as temperature dependent.
Calculate the RESR with the applicable switching frequency and ambient temperature.

9.2.2.3.6 I2C Pullup Resistor
Both SDA and SCL pins must have pullup resistors connected to VINLDO12 or to the power supply of the I2C
master. The values of the pullup resistors (typical approximately 1.8 k) are determined by the capacitance of
the bus. A resistor that is too large, combined with a given bus capacitance, results in a rise time that would
violate the maximum rise time specification. A too-small resistor results in a contention with the pulldown
transistor on either slave(s) or master.
9.2.2.4 Operation Without I2C Interface
Operation of the LP3907 without the I2C interface is possible if the system can operate with default values for the
LDO and Buck regulators (see Factory Programmable Options.) The I2C-less system must rely on the correct
default output values of the LDO and Buck converters.

9.2.2.4.2 Junction Temperature
The maximum junction temperature TJ-MAX-OP of 125°C of the device package Equation 12 through Equation 17
demonstrate junction temperature determination, ambient temperature TA-MAX, and total chip power must be
controlled to keep TJbelow this maximum:
TJ-MAX-OP = TA-MAX + (RθJA) [°C/ Watt] × (PD-MAX) [Watts] (12)
Total device power dissipation PD-MAX is the sum of the individual power dissipation of the four regulators plus a
minor amount for chip overhead. Chip overhead is Bias, TSD, and LDO analog.
PD-MAX = PLDO1 + PLD02 + PBUCK1 + PBUCK2 + (0.0001A × VIN) [Watts]. (13)
Power dissipation of LDO1:
PLDO1 = (VINLDO1 VOUTLDO1) × IOUTLDO1 [V × A] (14)
Power dissipation of LDO2:
PLDO2 = (VINLDO2 VOUTLDO2) × IOUTLDO2 [V × A] (15)
Power dissipation of Buck1:
PBuck1 = PIN POUT = VOUTBuck1 × IOUTBuck1 × (1 η1) / η1[V × A]
where
η1= efficiency of buck 1 (16)

10 Power Supply Recommendations
If the EN_T is used to power up the device instead individual ENs , then VIN must be stable for approximately 8
ms minimum before EN_T be asserted high to ensure internal bias, reference, and the Flexible POR timing are
stabilized. This initial EN_T delay is necessary only upon first time device power on for power sequencing
function to operate properly.
10.1 Analog Power Signal Routing
All power inputs must be tied to the main VDD source (for example, battery), unless the user wishes to power it
from another source. (that is, external LDO output).
The analog VDD inputs power the internal bias and error amplifiers, so they must be tied to the main VDD. The
analog VDD inputs must have an input voltage between 2.8 V and 5.5 V, as specified in the Recommended
Operating Conditions (Bucks) table earlier in the data sheet.
The other VINs (VINLDO1, VINLDO2) can have inputs lower than 2.8 V, as long as the input it higher than the
programmed output (0.3 V).
The analog and digital grounds must be tied together outside of the chip to reduce noise coupling.

11 Layout
11.1 DSBGA Layout Guidelines
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance
of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss
in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter device, resulting in poor regulation or
instability.
Good layout for the LP3907 device bucks can be implemented by following a few simple design rules below.
Refer to Figure 49 for top-layer board buck layout.
1. Place the LP3907 bucks, inductor, and filter capacitors close together and make the traces short. The traces
between these components carry relatively high switching currents and act as antennas. Following this rule
reduces radiated noise. Special care must be given to place the input filter capacitor very close to the VIN
and GND pin.
2. Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of
each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor through the LP3907 bucks and inductor to the output
filter capacitor and back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of each cycle, current is
pulled up from ground through the LP3907 bucks by the inductor to the output filter capacitor and then back
through ground forming a second current loop. Routing these loops so the current curls in the same direction
prevents magnetic field reversal between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated noise.
3. Connect the ground pins of the LP3907 bucks and filter capacitors together using generous component-side
copper fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then, connect this to the ground-plane (if one is used) with several
vias. This reduces ground-plane noise by preventing the switching currents from circulating through the
ground plane. It also reduces ground bounce at the LP3907 bucks by giving it a low-impedance ground
connection.
4. 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 across the traces.
5. Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, away from noisy traces between the power
components. The voltage feedback trace must remain close to the circuit of the LP3907 buck and must be
direct but must be routed opposite to noisy components. This reduces EMI radiated onto the DC-DC
converter’s own voltage feedback trace. A good approach is to route the feedback trace on another layer and
to have a ground plane between the top layer and layer on which the feedback trace is routed. In the same
manner for the adjustable part it is desired to have the feedback dividers on the bottom layer.
6. Place noise sensitive circuitry, such as radio IF blocks, away from the DC-DC converter, CMOS digital blocks
and other noisy circuitry. Interference with noise-sensitive circuitry in the system can be reduced through
distance.

11.2 Layout Example
Figure 49. LP3907 DSBGA Layout Example
11.3 Thermal Considerations of WQFN Package
The LP3907 is a monolithic device with integrated power FETs. For that reason, it is important to pay special
attention to the thermal impedance of the WQFN package and to the PCB layout rules in order to maximize
power dissipation of the WQFN package.
The WQFN 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 WQFN reduces one layer in the thermal path.
The thermal advantage of the WQFN 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 underneath the thermal land. Based on
thermal analysis of the WQFN package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) can be improved by a
factor of two when the die attach pad of the WQFN 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 LP3907 die attach pad is
connected to the substrate of the device, and therefore, the thermal land and vias on the PCB board must be
connected to ground (GND pin).
