1 General Description
The AS3710 is a compact System PMU with integrated
battery charger and back light driver.
The device offers advanced power management func-
tions. All necessary ICs and peripherals in a battery
powered mobile device are supplied by the AS3710. It
features 3 DCDC buck converters as well as 8 low noise
LDOs. The different regulated supply voltages are pro-
grammable via the serial control interface. 4MHz opera-
tion with 1uH coils are reducing cost and PCB space.
The three step-up converter generate voltages for
e.g.the backlight, classD amplifier, USB host support or
LCD display supply. Both constant voltage (for e.g.
OLED supply) as well as constant current (white LED
backlight) operations with three current sinks are possi-
ble. An internal voltage protection is limiting the output
voltage in the case of external component failures.
AS3710 contains a linear or switching mode Li-Ion bat-
tery charger with constant current and constant voltage.
The maximum charging current is 1.5A. An integrated
battery switch and an optional external switch are sepa-
rating the battery during charging or whenever an exter-
nal power supply is present. With this switch it is also
possible to operate with no or deeply discharged batter-
ies. A programmable current limit can be used to control
the maximum current used from a USB supply. Addi-
tional features are a 30V OV protection and battery tem-
perature supervision.
The single supply voltage may vary from 2.7V to 5.5V.
