LP3921
Battery Charger Management and Regulator Unit with
Integrated Boomer® Audio Amplifier
General Description
Features
The LP3921 is a fully integrated charger and multi-regulator
unit with a fully differential Boomer audio power amplifier designed for CDMA cellular phones. The LP3921 has a highspeed serial interface which allows for the integration and
control of a Li-Ion battery charger, 7 low-noise low-dropout
(LDO) voltage regulators and a Boomer audio amplifier.
The Li-Ion charger integrates a power FET, reverse current
blocking diode, sense resistor with current monitor output,
and requires only a few external components. Charging is
thermally regulated to obtain the most efficient charging rate
for a given ambient temperature.
LDO regulators provide high PSRR and low noise ideally suited for supplying power to both analog and digital loads.
The Boomer Audio Amplifier is capable of delivering 1.1 watts
of continuous average power to an 8Ω BTL load with less than
1% distortion (THD+N). Boomer Audio Power Amplifiers were
designed specifically to provide high quality output power with
a minimal amount of external components. The Boomer Audio Amplifier does not require output coupling capacitors or
bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for mobile
phone and other low voltage applications where minimal power consumption and part count is the primary requirement.
The Boomer Audio Amplifier contains advanced pop & click
circuitry which eliminates noises during turn-on and turn-off
transitions.

The LP3921 Charge Management and Regulator Unit is designed to supply charger and voltage output capabilities for
mobile systems, e.g. CDMA handsets. The device provides a
Li-Ion charging function and 7 regulated outputs. Communication with the device is via an I2C compatible serial interface
that allows function control and status read-back.
The battery charge management section provides a programmable CC/CV linear charge capability. Following a normal charge cycle a maintenance mode keeps battery voltage
between programmable levels. Power levels are thermally
regulated to obtain optimum charge levels over the ambient
temperature range.
POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATIONS
At PMU start up, LDO1, LDO2 and LDO3 are always started
with their default voltages. The start up sequence of the LDO's
is given below.
Startup Sequence
LDO1 -> LDO2 -> LDO3
LDO's with external enable control (LDO4, LDO5, LDO6) start
immediately after LDO2 if enabled by logic high at their respective control inputs.
LDO7 (and LDO1, LDO3) may be programmed to enable/disable once PS_HOLD has been asserted.
CHARGER FEATURES

DEVICE PROGRAMMABILITY
An I2C compatible Serial Interface is used to communicate
with the device to program a series of registers and also to
read status registers. These internal registers allow control
over LDO outputs and their levels. The charger functions may
also be programmed to alter termination voltage, end of
charge current, charger restart voltage, full rate charge current, and also the charging mode.
This device internal logic is powered from LDO2.

REGULATORS
Seven low-dropout linear regulators provide programmable
voltage outputs with current capabilities of 80 mA, 150 mA
and 300 mA as given in the table below. LDO1, LDO2 and
LDO3 are powered up by default with LDO1 reaching regulation before LDO2 and LDO3 are started. LDO1, LDO3 and
LDO7 can be disabled/enabled via the serial interface. LDO1
and LDO2, if enabled, must be in regulation for the device to
power up and remain powered. LDO4, LDO5 and LDO6 have
external enable pins and may power up following LDO2 as
determined by their respective enable. Under voltage lockout
oversees device start up with preset level of 2.85V (typ.).

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.
Note 4: The human-body model is 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin, MIL-STD-883
3015.7.
Note 5: Care must be exercised where high power dissipation is likely. The maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated.
Like the Absolute Maximum power dissipation, the maximum power dissipation for operation depends on the ambient temperature. In applications where high
power dissipation and/or poor thermal dissipation exists, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA_MAX)
is dependent on the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD_MAX), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the device/package
in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation:
TA_MAX = TJ_MAX-OP – (θJA X PDMAX ).
Note 6: All limits are guaranteed. 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 7: Guaranteed by design.
Note 8: Dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage difference at which the output voltage is 100 mV below its nominal value. This specification does not apply
in cases it implies operation with an input voltage below the 3.0V minimum appearing under Operating Ratings. For example, this specification does not apply
for devices having 1.5V outputs because the specification would imply operation with an input voltage at or about 1.5V.
Note 9: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from thermal modelling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set forth in the JEDEC
standard JESD51-7. The value of (θJA) of this product could fall within a wide range, depending on PWB 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 in board design.
Note 10: Full-charge current is guaranteed for CHG_IN = 4.5 to 6.0V. At higher input voltages, increased power dissipation may cause the thermal regulation to
limit the current to a safe level, resulting in longer charging time.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are 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

This function should be enabled once start up is complete and

CHGCNTL1, Table 10.
Battery Charge Management
A charge management system allowing the safe charge and
maintenance of a Li-Ion battery is implemented on the
LP3921. This has a CC/CV linear charge capability with programmable battery regulation voltage and end of charge current threshold. The charge current in the constant current
mode is programmable and a maintenance mode monitors for
battery voltage drop to restart charging at a preset level. A
USB charging mode is also available with 2 charge current
levels.
The full rate constant current rate of charge may be programmed to 19 levels from 50 mA to 950 mA. These values
are given in Table 5 and Table 13.
The charge mode may be programmed to USB mode when
the charger input is applied and the battery voltage is above
3.0V. This provides two programmable current levels of
100 mA and 450 mA for a USB sourced supply input at
CHG_IN. Table 9.
CHARGER FUNCTION
Following the correct detection of an input voltage at the
charger pin the charger enters a pre-charge mode. In this
mode a constant current of 50 mA is available to charge the
battery to 3.0V. At this voltage level the charge management
applies the default (100 mA) full rate constant current to raise
the battery voltage to the termination voltage level (default
4.2V). The full rate charge current may be programmed to a
different level at this stage. When termination voltage
(VTERM) is reached, the charger is in constant voltage mode
and a constant voltage of 4.2V is maintained. This mode is
complete when the end of charge current (default 0.1C) is
detected and the charge management enters the maintenance mode. In maintenance mode the battery voltage is
monitored for the restart level (4.05V at the default settings)
and the charge cycle is re-initiated to re-establish the termi-

TERMINATION AND RESTART
The termination and restart voltage levels are determined by

the control register. The restart voltage is programmed relative to the selected termination voltage.
The Termination voltages available are 4.1V, 4.2V (default),
4.3V, and 4.4V.
The Restart voltages are determined relative to the termination voltage level and may be set to 50 mV, 100 mV, 150 mV

The LP3921 has 7 LDO's of which 3 are enabled by default,
LDO's 1,2 and 3 are powered up during the power up sequence. LDO's 4, 5 and 6 are separately, externally enabled
and will follow LDO2 in start up if their respective enable pin
is pulled high. LDO2, LDO3 and LDO7 can be enabled/disabled via the serial interface.
LDO2 must remain in regulation otherwise the device will
power down. While LDO1 is enabled this must also be in regulation for the device to remain powered. If LDO1 is disabled
via I2C interface the device will not shut down.

CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LDO's on the LP3921 are designed to work with ceramic
capacitors on the input and output to take advantage of the
benefits they offer. For capacitance values around 1 µF, ceramic capacitors give the circuit designer the best design
options in terms of low cost and minimal area.
Generally speaking, input and output capacitors require careful understanding of the capacitor specification to ensure
stable and correct device operation. Capacitance value 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 dependant on the
particular case size with smaller sizes giving poorer performance figures in general.
See Table 4 for full programmable range of values.
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The Low Drop Out Linear Voltage regulators on the LP3921
require external capacitors to ensure stable outputs. The
LDO's on the LP3921 are specifically designed to use small
surface mount ceramic capacitors which require minimum
board space. These capacitors must be correctly selected for
good performance
INPUT CAPACITOR
Input capacitors are required for correct operation. It is recommended that a 10 µF capacitor be connected between
each of the voltage input pins 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 analogue ground. A ceramic capacitor
is recommended although a good quality tantalum or film capacitor may be used at the input.
30069812
FIGURE 8. DC Bias (V)
Warning: Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures
due to surge current 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 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 within its
operational range over the entire operating temperature range
and conditions.
As an example, Figure 8 shows a typical graph showing a
comparison of capacitor case sizes in a Capacitance vs DC
Bias plot. As shown in the graph, as a result of DC Bias condition the capacitance value may drop below minimum capacitance value given in the recommended capacitor table
(0.7 µF in this case). Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for 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. Ceramic
capacitors 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 mΩ to 40 mΩ,
and also meets the ESR requirements for stability. The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type.
Capacitor type X7R is specified with a tolerance of ±15% over
temperature range -55ºC to +125ºC. The X5R has similar tolerance over the reduced temperature range -55ºC to +85ºC.
Most large value ceramic capacitors (<2.2 µF) are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which
results in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the
temperature goes from 25ºC to 85ºC. Therefore X7R is recommended over these other capacitor types in applications
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
Correct selection of the output capacitor is critical to ensure
stable operation in the intended application. The output capacitor must meet all the requirements specified in the recommended capacitor table over all conditions in the application. These conditions include DC-bias, frequency and
temperature. Unstable operation will result if the capacitance
drops below the minimum specified value.
The LP3921 is designed specifically to work with very small
ceramic output capacitors. The LDO's on the LP3921 are
specifically designed to be used with X7R and X5R type capacitors. With these capacitors selection of the capacitor for
the application is dependant on the range of operating conditions and temperature range for that application. (See section on Capacitor Characteristics).

The LP3921 has internal limiting for high on-chip temperatures caused by high power dissipation etc. This Thermal
Shutdown, TSD, function monitors the temperature with respect to a threshold and results in a device power-down.
If the threshold of +160°C has been exceeded then the device
will power down. Recovery from this TSD event can only be
initiated after the chip has cooled below +115°C. This device
recovery is controlled by the APU_TSD_EN bit (bit 1) in control register MISC, 8h'1C. See Table 21. If the APU_TSD_EN
is set low then the device will shutdown requiring a new start
up event initiated by PWR_ON, HF_PWR, or CHG_IN. If
APU_TSD_EN is set high then the device will power up automatically when the shutdown condition clears. In this case
the control register settings are preserved for the device
restart.
The threshold temperature for the device to clear this TSD
event is 115°C. This threshold applies for any start up thus
the device temperature must be below this threshold to allow
a start up event to initiate power up.

The LP3921 contains a fully differential audio amplifier that
features differential input and output stages. Internally this is
accomplished by two circuits: a differential amplifier and a
common mode feedback amplifier that adjusts the output voltages so that the average value remains VDD/2. When setting
the differential gain, the amplifier can be considered to have
"halves". Each half uses an input and feedback resistor (Ri1
and RF1) to set its respective closed-loop gain. (See Figure
9.) With Ri1 = Ri2 and RF1 = RF2, the gain is set at -RF / Ri
for each half. This results in a differential gain of:

It is extremely important to match the input resistors to each
other, as well as the feedback resistors to each other for best
amplifier performance. A differential amplifier works in a manner where the difference between the two input signals is
amplified. In most applications, this would require input sig25

nals that are 180° out of phase with each other. The LP3921
can be used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while
still retaining its fully differential benefits. In fact, completely
unrelated signals may be placed on the input pins. The
LP3921 simply amplifies the difference between them.
A bridged configuration, such as the one used in the LP3921,
also creates a second advantage over single ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased
at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load. This
assumes that the input resistor pair and the feedback resistor
pair are properly matched. BTL configuration eliminates the
output coupling capacitor required in single supply, singleended amplifier configurations. If an output coupling capacitor
is not used in a single-ended output configuration, the halfsupply bias across the load would result in both increased
internal IC power dissipation as well as permanent loudspeaker damage. Further advantages of bridged mode operation specific to fully differential amplifiers like the LP3921
include increased power supply rejection ratio, commonmode noise reduction, and click and pop reduction.

Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest practical copper heat sink area. In all circumstances and conditions, the junction temperature must be held below 150°C to
prevent activating the LP3921's thermal shutdown protection.
Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LLP package is available
from National Semiconductor's package Engineering Group
under application note AN1187.
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
The LP3921's exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package
(LLP) provides a low thermal resistance between the die and
the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. this allows
rapid heat transfer from the die to the surrounding PCB copper traces, ground plane and, finally, surrounding air. Failing
to optimize thermal design may compromise the LP3921's
high-power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection. The LLP package must
have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the PCB> The
DAP's PCB copper pad is connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass
and heat sink and radiation area. Place the heat sink area on
either outside plane in the case of a two-sided PCB, or on an
inner layer of a board with more than two layers. Connect the
DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside copper heat
sink area with a thermal via. The via diameter should be 0.012

PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 4Ω LOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing
across the load and the load's impedance. As load impedance
decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly dependent
on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance between
the amplifier output pins and the load's connections. Residual
trace resistance causes a voltage drop, which results in power
26
possible. A larger half-supply bypass capacitor improves
PSRR because it increases half-supply stability. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10 µF and 0.1 µF bypass
capacitors that increase supply stability. This, however, does
not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the
LP3921. The LP3921 will operate without the bypass capacitor CB, although the PSRR may decrease. A 1 µF capacitor
is recommended for CB. This value maximizes PSRR performance. Lesser values may be used, but PSRR decreases at
frequencies below 1 kHz. The issue of CB selection is thus
dependant upon desired PSRR and click and pop performance as explained in the section Proper Selection of External Components.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum
output power. A poorly regulated supply's output voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage
causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated supplies,
trace resistance creates the same effects as poor supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide
as possible helps maintain full output voltage swing.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the
audio amplifier can be shut down by setting amp_en to 0 in
the Audio_Amp register. On power-up, the audio amplifier is
in shut down until enabled. (Contact NSC sales for a different
option.) (See Table 22.)
Thermal shutdown of the PMU will shut down the audio amplifier. (See Thermal Shutdown for recovery options.) Independent temperature sensing within the audio amplifier may
also shut down the audio amplifier alone, without affecting
PMU control logic.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation might be a major concern when designing
a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or single-ended. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation
point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply
voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Single-Ended
(2)
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications using
integrated power amplifiers is critical when optimizing device
and system performance. Although the LP3921 is tolerant to
a variety of external component combinations, consideration
of component values must be made when maximizing overall
system quality.
The LP3921 is unity-gain stable, giving the designer maximum system flexibility. The LP3921 should be used in low
closed-loop gain configurations to minimize THD+N values
and maximize signal to noise ratio. Low gain configurations
require large input signals to obtain a given output power. Input signals equal to or greater than 1 Vrms are available from
sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to the Audio
Power Amplifier Design section for a more complete explanation of proper gain selection. When used in its typical
application as a fully differential power amplifier the LP3921
does not require input coupling capacitors for input sources
with DC common-mode voltages of less than VDD. Exact allowable input common-mode voltage levels are actually a
function of VDD, Ri, and Rf and may be determined by Equation 5:
However, a direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in
internal power dissipation versus a single-ended amplifier operating at the same conditions.
PDMAX = 4 * (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Bridge Mode
(3)
Since the LP3921 has bridged outputs, the maximum internal
power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended amplifier.
Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the
LP3921 does not require additional heat sinking under most
operating conditions and output loading. From Equation 3,
assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum
power dissipation contribution from the audio amplifier is 625
mW. To this must be added the power dissipated from the
power management blocks. The maximum power dissipation
thus obtained (PTOT) must not be greater than the power dissipation results from Equation 4:
PTOT = PPDMU + PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA
(4)
PDPMU is mainly the sum of power dissipated in the charger
and LDO blocks as shown in Equation 5:
PDPMU = ICHG (VCHG_IN − VBATT) + (IOUT1 (VBATT −
VOUT1) + (IOUT2 (VBATT − VOUT2) + (IOUT3 (VBATT −
VOUT3) + ... (approx.)
VCMi < (VDD-1.2)*((Rf+(Ri)/(Rf)-VDD*(Ri / 2Rf)
(6)
-RF / RI = AVD
(7)
(5)
Special care must be taken to match the values of the feedback resistors (RF1 and RF2) to each other as well as matching
the input resistors (Ri1 and Ri2) to each other (see Figure 9)
more in front. Because of the balanced nature of differential
amplifiers, resistor matching differences can result in net DC
currents across the load. This DC current can increase power
consumption, internal IC power dissipation, reduce PSRR,
and possibly damaging the loudspeaker. Table 23 demonstrates this problem by showing the effects of differing values
between the feedback resistors while assuming that the input
resistors are perfectly matched. The results below apply to
the application circuit shown in Figure 9, and assumes that
The LP3921's θJA in an SQA32A package is 30°C/W. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the maximum
internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor location on both the bypass
and power supply pins should be as close to the device as
27

LP3921
dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. This
problem of decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load
impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest
load dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces
that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide as
possible.

Using the Output Power vs. Supply Voltage graph for an 8Ω
load, the minimum supply rail just about 5V. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the LP3921 to reproduce
peaks in excess of 1W without producing audible distortion.
At this time, the designer must make sure that the power supply choice along with the output impedance does not violate
the conditions explained in the Power Dissipation section.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed,
the required differential gain can be determined from Equation 9.
Similar results would occur if the input resistors were not
carefully matched. Adding input coupling capacitors in between the signal source and the input resistors will eliminate
this problem, however, to achieve best performance with minimum component count it is highly recommended that both
the feedback and input resistors matched to 1% tolerance or
better.

The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the
desired frequency pole, fH , and the differential gain, AVD. With
AVD = 2.83 and fH = 100 kHz, the resulting GBWP = 150 kHz
which is much smaller than the LP3921 GBWP of 10 MHz.
This figure displays that if a designer has a need to design an
amplifier with a higher differential gain, the LP3921 can still
be used without running into bandwidth limitations.
A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to
obtain the specified output power. The supply rail can easily
be found by extrapolating from the Output Power vs Supply
Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. A second way to determine the minimum supply
rail is to calculate the required VOPEAK using Equation 8 and
add the dropout voltages. Using this method, the minimum
www.national.com
(10)
From Equation 10, the minimum AVD is 2.83. Since the desired input impedance was 20 kΩ, a ratio of 2.83:1 of Rf to
Ri results in an allocation of Ri = 20 kΩ for both input resistors
and Rf = 60 kΩ for both feedback resistors. The final design
step is to address the bandwidth requirement which must be
stated as a single -3 dB frequency point. Five times away from
a -3 dB point is 0.17 dB down from pass band response which
is better than the required ±0.25 dB specified.

INTERFACE BUS OVERVIEW
The I2C compatible synchronous serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and registers on the
device.
This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bi-directional communications between the IC’s connected to the bus. The two
interface lines are the Serial Data Line (SDA), and the Serial
Clock Line (SCL). These lines should be connected to a positive supply, via a pull-up resistor of 1.5 kΩ, and remain HIGH
even when the bus is idle.
Every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and
acts as either a Master or a Slave depending on whether it
generates or receives the serial clock (SCL).
START AND STOP
The Master device on the bus always generates the Start and
Stop Conditions (control codes). After a Start Condition is
generated, the bus is considered busy and it retains this status until a certain time after a Stop Condition is generated. A
high-to-low transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock
(SCL) is high indicates a Start Condition. A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a Stop
Condition.
DATA TRANSACTIONS
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. Data is
sampled during the high state of the serial clock (SCL). Consequently, throughout the clock’s high period, the data should
remain stable. Any changes on the SDA line during the high
state of the SCL and in the middle of a transaction, aborts the
current transaction. New data should be sent during the low
SCL state. This protocol permits a single data line to transfer
both command/control information and data using the synchronous serial clock.
30069810
FIGURE 11. Start and Stop Conditions
In addition to the first Start Condition, a repeated Start Condition can be generated in the middle of a transaction. This
allows another device to be accessed, or a register read cycle.
ACKNOWLEDGE CYCLE
The Acknowledge Cycle consists of two signals: the acknowledge clock pulse the master sends with each byte transferred,
and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiving device.
The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse on the
ninth clock pulse of the byte transfer. The transmitter releases
the SDA line (permits it to go high) to allow the receiver to
send the acknowledge signal. The receiver must pull down
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse and ensure
that SDA remains low during the high period of the clock
pulse, thus signaling the correct reception of the last data byte
and its readiness to receive the next byte.

Condition to terminate the transaction. Every byte written to
the SDA bus must be 8 bits long and is transferred with the
most significant bit first. After each byte, an Acknowledge signal must follow. The following sections provide further details
of this process.
I2C Compatible Serial Bus Interface
LP3921
“ACKNOWLEDGE AFTER EVERY BYTE” RULE
The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after each
byte transfer. The receiver sends an acknowledge signal after
every byte received.
There is one exception to the “acknowledge after every byte”
rule.
When the master is the receiver, it must indicate to the transmitter an end of data by not-acknowledging (“negative acknowledge”) the last byte clocked out of the slave. This
“negative acknowledge” still includes the acknowledge clock
pulse (generated by the master), but the SDA line is not pulled
down.
CONTROL REGISTER READ CYCLE
• Master device generates a start condition.
• Master device sends slave address (7 bits) and the data
direction bit (R/W = “0”).
• Slave device sends acknowledge signal if the slave
address is correct.
• Master sends control register address (8 bits).
• Slave sends acknowledge signal.
• Master device generates repeated start condition.
• Master sends the slave address (7 bits) and the data
direction bit (R/W = “1”).
• Slave sends acknowledge signal if the slave address is
correct.
• Slave sends data byte from addressed register.
• If the master device sends acknowledge signal, the control
register address will be incremented by one. Slave device
sends data byte from addressed register.
• Read cycle ends when the master does not generate
acknowledge signal after data byte and generates stop
condition.
ADDRESSING TRANSFER FORMATS
Each device on the bus has a unique slave address. The
LP3921 operates as a slave device with the address 7h’7E
(binary 1111110). Before any data is transmitted, the master
transmits the address of the slave being addressed. The slave
device should send an acknowledge signal on the SDA line,
once it recognizes its address.
The slave address is the first seven bits after a Start Condition. The direction of the data transfer (R/W) depends on the
bit sent after the slave address — the eighth bit.
When the slave address is sent, each device in the system
compares this slave address with its own. If there is a match,
the device considers itself addressed and sends an acknowledge signal. Depending upon the state of the R/W bit (1:read,
0:write), the device acts as a transmitter or a receiver.
