3 Description
The LP3972 is a multi-function programmable power
management unit (PMU) designed especially for
advanced application processors. The LP3972 is
optimized for low-power handheld applications and
provides six low-dropout low-noise linear regulators,
three DC-DC magnetic buck regulators, a backup
battery charger, and two GPIOs. A high-speed serial
interface is included to program individual regulator
output voltages as well as on and off control.
