NSC LP5552TL/NOPB

LP5552
PWI 2.0 and PowerWise® Technology Compliant Energy
Management Unit
General Description
Features
The LP5552 is a PWI™ 2.0 compliant Energy Management
Unit (EMU) for reducing power consumption in low-power,
portable applications.
The LP5552 contains 2 advanced, digitally controlled switching regulators for supplying variable voltages to a SoC or
processor. The device also incorporates 5 programmable
low-dropout, low-noise linear regulators for powering I/O, peripheral logic blocks, auxiliary system functions, and maintaining memory retention (dual-domains) in shutdown-mode.
The device is controlled via the high-speed serial PWI 2.0
open-standard interface. The LP5552 operates cooperatively
with PowerWise® technology-compatible processors to optimize supply voltages adaptively (AVS - Adaptive Voltage
Scaling) over process and temperature variations. It also supports dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) using frequency/voltage
pairs from pre-characterized lookup tables.

VO5 LDO5 Output Voltage Characteristics
LP5552
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device 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 pins.
Note 3: The Absolute Maximum power dissipation depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using the formula: P = (TJ – TA)/θJA where TJ is
the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
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 4: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=160ºC (typ.) and disengages at TJ =
140ºC (typ.).
Note 5: The human-body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7.
Note 6: 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), 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 (θJA), as given by the following equation:
TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).
Note 7: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set forth in the
JEDEC standard JESD51–3. The test board is a 4-layer FR-4 board.
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.
The value of θJA of this product can vary significantly, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. In applications where high maximum
power dissipation exists (high VIN, high IOUT), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. For more information on these topics, please refer to
Application Note 1112: Micro SMD Wafer Level Chip Scale Package and Application Note 1610: LP5552 Evaluation Board.
Note 8: All limits are guaranteed by design, test and/or statistical analysis. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production
with TJ = 25°C. All hot and cold limits are guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical
process control.
Note 9: Capacitors: Low-ESR Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors are (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.
Note 10: Guaranteed specifically by design.
Note 11: Dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage difference at which the output voltage is 100mV below its nominal value. Other parameters are not
guaranteed when the LDO is in dropout. This specification applies only when the output voltage is greater than 2.7V.
Note 12: Quiescent currents for LDO1 through LDO5 do not include shared blocks such as the bandgap reference.
Note 13: VIN for line transient is above the default 3.6V to allow for 400mV of headroom from VIN to VOUT.

Unless otherwise specified: VIN = 3.6V, TA = 25ºC, output voltages and external components are default values specified in electrical

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LP5552 is a PowerWise Interface (PWI) 2.0 compliant
energy management unit (EMU) for application or baseband
processors in mobile phones and other portable equipment.
It operates cooperatively with processors using National
Semiconductor’s Advanced Power Controller (APC) to provide Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) which drastically improves efficiencies compared to conventional power delivery
methods. The LP5552 consists of two high-efficiency switching DC/DC buck converters to supply two voltage scaling
domains, and five LDOs for supplying additional support circuitry.
VOLTAGE SCALING
The LP5552 is designed to be used in a voltage scaling system to lower the power dissipation of the system. By scaling
supply voltage with the clock frequency of a processor, dramatic power savings can be achieved. Two types of voltage
scaling are supported, dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and
adaptive voltage scaling (AVS). Both Switcher 1 and Switcher
2 support AVS and DVS modes. DVS systems switch between pre-characterized voltages, which are paired to clock
frequencies used for frequency scaling in the processor. AVS
systems track the processor performance and optimize the
supply voltage to the required performance. AVS is a closed
loop system that provides process and temperature compensation such that for any given processor, temperature, or
clock frequency, the minimum supply voltage is delivered.
SLAVE ADDRESSING DESCRIPTION
PWI 2.0 supports up to 16 logical slaves in the same system.
Four slave address bits are included at the start of every PWI
communications frame to identify which slave is being targeted by the PWI master. The LP5552 contains 2 logical slaves
in its package. The 3 MSBs of the LP5552’s slave address
are set by the SA1, SA2, and SA3 pins. They are actively
decoded by the LP5552 on every transaction. The LSB of the
slave address is hard-wired inside the LP5552. Slave ‘N’ will
always be located at SA[0] = 0, and slave ‘N+1’ will always
exist at SA[0] = 1. As an example, if we were to tie SA1 = SA3
= VDD and SA2 = GND in our system, then the LP5552’s
slave ‘N’ would be located at SA[3:0] = 0xA and slave ‘N+1’
would be SA[3:0] = 0xB.
POWERWISE INTERFACE
What follows is only a brief description of the parts of the PWI
2.0 spec that are relevant to the LP5552. Please see the PWI
2.0 spec for a complete description.
To support DVS and AVS, the LP5552 is programmable via
the low-power, 2-wire PowerWise Interface (PWI). This serial
interface controls the various voltages and states of all the
regulators in the LP5552.
CONTROL AND STATUS SIGNALS
The LP5552 implements all 3 of the PWI 2.0 control and status
signals. ENABLE and RESETN are inputs to the LP5552 that
allow for power-up and power-down sequencing, as well as
resetting the EMU to a known state. Both ENABLE and RESETN must be a logic ‘1’ during normal operation. PWROK is
an indicator to the system that the LP5552 is in regulation and
power is stable. Its output is dependent upon the state of the
two slave devices. See Table 1, “PWROK Value Per Slave
State,” below for details. All 3 signals are asynchronous signals.
TABLE 1. PWROK Value Per Slave State
SLAVE (N+1)
SLAVE (N)
LP5552
Both slaves in the LP5552 support the full PWI command set,
other than the optional Extended Register Read and Write, as
described in the PWI 2.0 specification:
• Core Voltage Adjust
• Reset
• Sleep
• Shutdown
• Wakeup
• Register Read
• Register Write
• Authenticate
The 2-wire PWI interface is composed of the SCLK and SPWI
pins on the LP5552. SCLK is always an input to the LP5552
and should be driven by a PowerWise master in the system.
The SCLK clock rate can operate from 32kHz – 15MHz. SPWI
is the bi-directional serial data line. It can drive a 50pF line
and meet timing standards for a 15MHz PWI bus. Both signals
are referenced to the voltage present at VO2, the LDO2 output
voltage. Both signals contain an internal pull-down resistor of
~1MΩ, in accordance with the PWI 2.0 specification.

General Purpose Outputs
The LP5552 contains 3 digital output pins that can be used
as the system designer sees fit. By default, they are configured as open-drain outputs, outputting a logic ‘0’. They can
be changed to a push-pull CMOS output by clearing Slave ‘N’,

LP5552
SLAVE OPERATING STATES
Each slave in the LP5552 has four operating states: Startup,
Active, Sleep, and Shutdown. (Figure 1.)
20210345
FIGURE 1. LP5552 Slave State Diagram
The Startup state is the default state for both slaves after reset. All regulators are off and PWROK output is a ‘0’.
The device will move to the Active state when the external
ENABLE and RESETN signals are both pulled high. After the
state transition completes, both slaves will be in the Active
state, but each slave will maintain its own independent state
thereafter.
The default, factory-programmed power-up sequence of the
LP5552 can be seen in Figure 2. From the global ENABLE of
the chip, there is ~80uS of time for powering on and stabilizing
internal support circuitry. Once this time has expired, the startup time slots begin. Table 2 shows the time slots that each
regulator begins in. Note that for the switchers, there is an
additional ~75uS of set-up time from the beginning of the time
slot until the soft-start ramp begins.

In the Active state, all regulators that are enabled are on, and
their outputs are defined by their programmed register values.
If the Active state has been reached from the Startup state,
the regulators will be programmed to their default value. In the
Active state, the PWI master has complete control over the
LP5552’s operation. The PWROK output is ‘1’ if either slave
is in this state.
The Sleep state is entered by issuing the Sleep command on
the PWI bus. The core regulator of the addressed slave, and
the associated memory LDO will both respond to the Sleep
command. For the first 32uS after the command is decoded,
the core regulator will transition to its zero-code value of 0.6V,
and the LDO will move to its POR value of 1.25V. After the
32uS has expired, the core regulator will be turned off and the
LDO will transition to its memory retention value as programmed in register R2. See Figure 3. LDO1, LDO2, and
LDO5 are unaffected by the Sleep command and will maintain
their programmed values. They may be turned off manually,
if desired. The LP5552 will still respond to all PWI traffic as
long as LDO2 remains active.
20210365
FIGURE 4. Wakeup Behavior of Core and Memory
The Shutdown command will place the addressed slave in the
Shutdown state. This command may be issued to any slave
in either the Active or Sleep states. All regulators within that
state will turn off. The LP5552 holds out one exception to this
rule. LDO1, LDO2, and LDO5 act as a shared resource between the two slave devices in the EMU. Therefore, placing
just slave ‘N’ into Shutdown will not turn off these regulators
even though their registers exist within that space. Slave ‘N’
can be in the Shutdown state, but as long as Slave ‘N+1’ is
still in either Active or Sleep states, these shared LDOs will
remain on, and PWI traffic will be decoded. Once the Shutdown command has been sent to both slaves, all regulators
on the LP5552 will be turned off. The PWROK signal will be
‘0’ if both slaves are in the Shutdown state. The only way to
transition away from the Shutdown state is by disabling or resetting the LP5552. By taking the ENABLE pin or the RESETN pin low, the LP5552 will transition to the Startup state.
Power-down sequencing is not actively managed by the
LP5552 logic, but can be handled by turning off regulators in
the desired order within the application, prior to Shutdown.
PWM/BURST-PWM OPERATION
The switching regulators in the LP5552 have two modes of
operation, pulse width modulation (PWM) and “Burst”-PWM.
In PWM, the converter switches at 3.6MHz. Each period can
be split into two cycles. During the first cycle, the high-side
switch is on and the low-side switch is off. During this cycle,
the inductor current is rising. In the second cycle, the highside switch is off and the low-side switch is on causing the
inductor current to decrease. The output ripple voltage is lowest in PWM mode. As the load current decreases, the converter efficiency becomes worse due to switching losses. The
LP5552 will automatically transition to Burst mode at light load
current levels. The exact transition point is dependent upon
the present operating environment, and the mode assessment is constantly evaluated. The transition is approximately
equal to:
20210364
FIGURE 3. Sleep Behavior of Core and Memory
A slave may return to the Active state by issuing the Wakeup
command. This will result in the core regulator turning on after
a ~75uS delay and a soft-start ramp. It will wake up at its
maximum value of 1.235V. The associated memory LDO will
go to its default POR value of 1.25V until the core has reached
the end of its soft-start period and then will transition to its
programmed configuration (i.e., either tracking the core or to
the value programmed in R1). See Figure 4. The PWROK
output is ‘1’ if either slave is in this state.
20210366
In this mode, the output voltage will be allowed to coast with
no switching action by the regulator. When the output voltage
dips to 1% below nominal, the switches are enabled, the voltage is boosted back up to the programmed value, and the
coast process repeats itself. If the user desires tighter control

be possible. If it is not desirable to use this regulator in the
system, the user can turn this regulator off by setting bit 4 of
R10 in Slave ‘N’ during system initialization while back-driving
the required I/O voltage onto the pin.
CURRENT LIMITING
A current limit feature exists for all regulators to help protect
the LP5552 and external components during overload conditions. The switcher's current limit feature will trip around 1.2A
(typ). Once the fault has occurred and current limit has been
entered, the switcher will not resume operation until the output
current has decreased to a hysteretic low-level set point. Normal operation will proceed after the fault has been cleared.
Likewise, the LDOs all implement current limit and will turn off
their pass element when their trip point is reached. Please
refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for details.
TRACKING, SLEW RATE LIMITING, AND LOW IQ BITS
There are 3 bits in each slave’s R13 register that determine
the performance and operational behavior of the VCOREx and
VO3/VO4 outputs. Their significance and interaction is described below.
The Low IQ bit setting in R13, bit 0, of each slave allows the
selection of a lower IQ bias point at the expense of decreased
output current capability for VO3 and VO4. At reset, the default
setting is high IQ mode (i.e., bit 0 is cleared) which results in
a 50mA output capability for the associated LDO. If bit 0 is
set, the quiescent current draw of the part will decrease, but
the output current capability of the associated LDO will drop
to 5mA. Setting VO3 and VO4 up for low IQ mode is useful in
situations where just a trickle of current is required, such as
when maintaining some type of low-power memory.
The Tracking bit, bit 1 in R13, determines whether or not the
LDO3 voltage will track the VCORE1 voltage in Slave ‘N’. Slave
‘N+1’ has its own tracking bit which will determine whether
LDO4 tracks VCORE2. Each slave device can be independently
configured to tracking or independent mode. When set to operate independently, LDO3 and LDO4 will maintain a voltage
output equal to the programmed value of R1 while in the Active state. When set to operate in tracking mode, LDO3 and
LDO4 will track the output voltage of their associated switcher, attempting to maintain approximately a 25mV positive
offset.
There is some interaction between the Low IQ and Tracking
bits based on the state of the slave device, and that is detailed
in the following table:
SOFT START
Both switching regulators implement a digital soft-start feature to limit in-rush current during the Startup to Active state
transition. The voltage output of the switchers will be gradually
increased to the default value of 1.235V. An unloaded switcher output will reach its final value in 120µS (typ.) while a fully
loaded switcher – 800mA -- will reach its output in 135µS (typ).
Because the LP5552 uses voltage increments to handle softstart, its turn-on time is less dependent on output capacitance
and load current than regulators that gradually increase current limit to implement soft-start.
LDO2
The on-board LDO2 regulator has special significance to the
LP5552. All digital data on the SCLK, SPWI, and the GPOx
pins while in push-pull mode, is referenced to this voltage.
This regulator is used internally to power the I/O drivers. As
such, this regulator must be on in order to communicate with
the LP5552. The user should ensure that this regulator does
not go into dropout or PWI communication will most likely not

the Slew Rate Limiting bit while not in tracking mode. Setting
all 3 bits will result in a system which has the following properties:
1. The tracking LDO will maintain positive offset from
VCOREx in Active state.
2. Tracking LDO will be 50mA output capable in Active
state, and 5mA capable in Sleep state.
The final bit, the Slew Rate Limiting bit (R13[2]), places a limit
on how fast the output voltage of the VCOREx regulators can
change. If slew rate limiting is not enabled while in tracking
mode (i.e., R13[2] is cleared), then the switcher will achieve
its new programmed value faster than the tracking LDO can
change its output. By setting the Slew Rate Limiting bit, the
LP5552 will attempt to keep the positive offset of the tracking
LDO in relation to the VCOREx output.
For AVS systems, the expected configuration is to have all 3
bits, R13[2:0] set to ‘1’. It generally will not make sense to set

The power dissipated in the input capacitor is given by:
Application Hints
SWITCHERS
Input Capacitors
The input capacitor to a switching regulator supplies the AC
switching current drawn from the switching action of the internal power FETs. The input current of a buck converter is
discontinuous, so the ripple current supplied by the input capacitor is large. The input capacitor must be rated to handle
this current:
20210349
The input capacitor must be rated to handle both the RMS
current and the dissipated power. A 10µF ceramic capacitor,
rated to handle at least 10V, is recommended for each PVDDx/PGNDx pair.
Inductor
A 1µH inductor should be used for the switchers' output filter.
The inductor should be rated to handle the peak load current
plus the ripple current:

peak-to-peak output voltage ripple in steady state can be calculated as:
Output Capacitors
The switchers in the LP5552 are designed to be used with
10µF of capacitance in the output filter. It is recommended
that a 10µF ceramic capacitor, rated to handle at least 10V,
and comprised of X5R dielectric material, be chosen. The
output capacitor of a switching regulator absorbs the AC ripple current from the inductor and provides the initial response
to a load transient. The ripple voltage at the output of the converters is the product of the ripple current flowing through the
output capacitor and the impedance of the capacitor. The
impedance of the capacitor can be dominated by capacitive,
resistive, or inductive elements within the capacitor or the

insert the capacitor into the application circuit. Capacitance
will decrease with increasing frequency and DC bias point,
and will generally vary with temperature. A typical 6.3V, 10µF,
0603 capacitor may only be providing 4 - 5µF of capacitance
when used as the output capacitor in the switching regulators’
loop filter. It is highly recommended that measurements be
done on your selected capacitor(s) to ensure you have the
proper amount of capacitance.
A NOTE ABOUT CAPACITORS
Capacitors are typically specified by their manufacturers as a
particular value +/-X%. These specified values are only valid
for a particular test condition that is often not applicable to the
final application circuit. If you were to take a ceramic 10µF
capacitor in 0805 package and measure it with an LCR meter,
a typical result would be around 7µF. This is before you even
www.national.com

Dropout Voltages
All linear regulators are subject to dropout. Dropout Voltage
is the minimum voltage required across the regulator (VIN VOUT) to maintain a constant, specified output voltage. The
LP5552 has a VIN range of 2.7V – 4.8V. VO1, VO3, and VO4
cannot be programmed to a level that would make dropout a
factor. However, VO2 and VO5 can reach as high as 3.3V on
their outputs. Both of those regulators have a dropout voltage
of 260mV (MAX). To ensure proper operation of those regulators, the user should ensure that VIN ≥ (VOx-PROGRAMMED +
260mV). If a regulator does go into dropout, the output voltage
will start to track the input: VO = VIN - VDROPOUT. Also, the
PSRR will go to zero, meaning any noise on the input will be
seen at the output.
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DCDC 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 IC, resulting in poor regulation or instability. It is highly recommended that the user consult Application Note AN-1610 for detailed
guidelines and best methods for PCB layout of the LP5552.
It is also recommended that the user reference AN-1112 for
information on the micro SMD package and its requirements.

Input Capacitors
While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that some input capacitance be provided for the DVDDx and AVDDx pins.
Typical values may be in the 0.1 - 1.0µF range. These capacitors will provide bypass for the LP5552 control electronics
and LDOs.
Output Capacitors
The output capacitor of an LDO sets a low frequency pole and
a high frequency zero in the control loop of an LDO, as well
as providing the initial response for a load transient. The capacitance and the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the
capacitor must be within a specified range to meet stability
requirements. The LDOs in the LP5552 are designed to be
used with ceramic output capacitors. The following table can
be used to select suitable output capacitors:
