8.3.1 Internal LDO Voltage Regulator

The BQ76925 device provides a regulated 3.3-V supply voltage on the V3P3 pin for operating the device’s internal logic and interface circuitry. This regulator may also be used to directly power an external microcontroller or other external circuitry up to a limit of 4-mA load current. In this configuration, the VCTL pin is tied directly to the BAT pin. For applications requiring more than 4 mA, an external-bypass transistor may be used to supply the load current. In this configuration, the VCTL pin is tied to the gate of the bypass FET. These two configurations are show in Figure 9.

BQ76925 LDO_reg_conf_lusam9.gifFigure 9. LDO Regulator Configurations

For the configuration of Figure 9b), a high-gain bypass device should be used to ensure stability. A bipolar PNP or p-channel FET bypass device may be used. Contact TI for recommendations.

The LDO regulator may be overridden (that is, back-fed) by an external-supply voltage greater than the regulated voltage on V3P3. In this configuration, the BQ76925 internal logic and interface circuitry operates from the external supply and the internal 3.3-V regulator supplys no load current.
