They each include a high efficiency, bidirectional switching PowerPath™ manager with automatic load prioritization, a battery charger, an ideal diode, a controller for an external high voltage switching regulator and three general purpose step-down switching regulators with I2C adjustable output voltages. The internal switching regulators automatically limit input current for USB compatibility and can also generate 5V at 500mA for USB on-the-go applications when powered from the battery. Both the USB and external switching regulator power paths feature Bat-Track optimized charging to provide maximum power to the application from supplies as high as 38V. An overvoltage circuit protects the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 from damage due to high voltage on the VBUS or WALL pins with just two external components. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are available in a low profile 38-pin (4mm × 6mm × 0.75mm) QFN package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LTC3576E/LTC3576E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note 3: The LTC3576E/LTC3576E-1 include overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. Note 4: Total input current is the sum of quiescent current, IVBUSQ, and measured current given by VCLPROG/RCLPROG • (hCLPROG + 1). Note 5: The current limit features of this part are intended to protect the IC from short term or intermittent fault conditions. Continuous operation above the maximum specified pin current rating may result in device degradation or failure. Note 6: The bidirectional switcher’s supply current is bootstrapped to VBUS and in the application will reflect back to VOUT by (VBUS/VOUT) • 1/efficiency. Total quiescent current is the sum of the current into the VOUT pin plus the reflected current. Note 7: hC/10 is expressed as a fraction of the measured full charge current with indicated PROG resistor. Note 8: VOUT not in UVLO. Note 9: FBx above regulation such that regulator is in sleep. Specification does not include resistive divider current reflected back to VINx. Note 10: Applies to pulse-skipping and Burst Mode operation only.

A 1% resistor from CLPROG to ground determines the upper limit of the current drawn or sourced from the VBUS pins. A precise fraction, hCLPROG, of the VBUS current is sent to the CLPROG pin when the PMOS switch of the PowerPath switching regulator is on. The switching regulator delivers power until the CLPROG pin reaches 1.18V in step-down mode and 1.15V in step-up mode. When the switching regulator is in step-down mode, CLPROG is used to regulate the average input current. Several VBUS current limit settings are available via user input which will typically correspond to the 500mA and 100mA USB specifications. When the switching regulator is in step-up mode (USB on-the-go), CLPROG is used to limit the average output current to 680mA. A multilayer ceramic averaging capacitor or R-C network is required at CLPROG for filtering. LDO3V3 (Pin 2): 3.3V LDO Output Pin. This pin provides a regulated always-on 3.3V supply voltage. LDO3V3 gets its power from VOUT. It may be used for light loads such as a watchdog microprocessor or real time clock. A 1μF capacitor is required from LDO3V3 to ground. If the LDO3V3 output is not used it should be disabled by connecting it to VOUT. NTCBIAS (Pin 3): NTC Thermistor Bias Output. If NTC operation is desired, connect a bias resistor between NTCBIAS and NTC, and an NTC thermistor between NTC and GND. To disable NTC operation, connect NTC to GND and leave NTCBIAS open. NTC (Pin 4): Input to the Thermistor Monitoring Circuits. The NTC pin connects to a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, which is typically co-packaged with the battery, to determine if the battery is too hot or too cold to charge. If the battery’s temperature is out of range, charging is paused until it re-enters the valid range. A low drift bias resistor is required from NTCBIAS to NTC and a thermistor is required from NTC to ground. To disable NTC operation, connect NTC to GND and leave NTCBIAS open. OVGATE (Pin 5): Overvoltage Protection Gate Output. Connect OVGATE to the gate pin of an external N-channel MOS pass transistor. The source of the transistor should be connected to VBUS and the drain should be connected to the product’s DC input connector. In the absence of an overvoltage condition, this pin is connected to an internal charge pump capable of creating sufficient overdrive to fully enhance the pass transistor. If an overvoltage condition is detected, OVGATE is brought rapidly to GND to prevent damage to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. OVGATE works in conjunction with OVSENS to provide this protection. OVSENS (Pin 6): Overvoltage Protection Sense Input. OVSENS should be connected through a 6.2k resistor to the input power connector and the drain of an external N-channel MOS pass transistor. When the voltage on this pin exceeds VOVCUTOFF, the OVGATE pin will be pulled to GND to disable the pass transistor and protect the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. The OVSENS pin shunts current during an overvoltage transient in order to keep the pin voltage at 6V. FB1 (Pin 7): Feedback Input for Switching Regulator 1. When regulator 1’s control loop is complete, this pin servos to 1 of 16 possible set points based on the commanded value from the I2C serial port. See Table 4. VIN1 (Pin 8): Power Input for Switching Regulator 1. This pin will generally be connected to VOUT. A 1μF MLCC capacitor is recommended on this pin. SW1 (Pin 9): Power Transmission Pin for Switching Regulator 1. EN1 (Pin 10): Logic Input. This logic input pin independently enables switching regulator 1. Active high. This pin is logically ORed with its corresponding bit in the I2C serial port. See Table 3. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. ENOTG (Pin 11): Logic Input. This logic input pin independently enables the bidirectional switching regulator to step up the voltage on VOUT and provide a 5V output on VBUS for USB on-the-go applications. Active high. This pin is logically ORed with its corresponding bit in the I2C serial port. See Table 3. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. 3576fb 13 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 PIN FUNCTIONS DVCC (Pin 12): Logic Supply for the I2C Serial Port. If the serial port is not needed, it can be disabled by grounding DVCC. When DVCC is grounded, the I2C bits are set to their default values. See Table 3. SCL (Pin 13): Clock Input Pin for the I2C Serial Port. The I2C logic levels are scaled with respect to DVCC. If DVCC is grounded, the SCL pin is equivalent to the C2, C4 and C6 bits in the I2C serial port. SCL in conjunction with SDA determine the operating modes of switching regulators 1, 2 and 3 when DVCC is grounded. See Tables 3 and 5. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. I2C Serial Port. The SDA (Pin 14): Data Input Pin for the I2C logic levels are scaled with respect to DVCC. If DVCC is grounded, the SDA pin is equivalent to the C3, C5 and C7 bits in the I2C serial port. SDA in conjunction with SCL determine the operating modes of switching regulators 1, 2 and 3 when DVCC is grounded. See Tables 3 and 5. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. NC (Pin 15): Unconnected Pin. This pin is not connected internally to the part. It is permissible to tie this pin to VIN3 in order to make the VIN3 PCB trace wider. VIN3 (Pin 16): Power Input for Switching Regulator 3. This pin will generally be connected to VOUT. A 1μF MLCC capacitor is recommended on this pin. SW3 (Pin 17): Power Transmission Pin for Switching Regulator 3. NC (Pin 18): Unconnected Pin. This pin is not connected internally to the part. It is permissible to tie this pin to SW3 in order to make the SW3 PCB trace wider. EN3 (Pin 19): Logic Input. This logic input pin independently enables switching regulator 3. Active high. This pin is logically ORed with its corresponding bit in the I2C serial port. See Table 3. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. FB3 (Pin 20): Feedback Input for Switching Regulator 3. When regulator 3’s control loop is complete, this pin servos to 1 of 16 possible set points based on the commanded value from the I2C serial port. See Table 4. RST3 (Pin 21): Logic Output. This in an open-drain output which indicates that switching regulator 3 has settled to its final value. It can be used as a power-on reset for the primary microprocessor or to enable the other switching regulators for supply sequencing. EN2 (Pin 22): Logic Input. This logic input pin independently enables switching regulator 2. Active high. This pin is logically ORed with its corresponding bit in the I2C serial port. See Table 3. Has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. SW2 (Pin 23): Power Transmission Pin for Switching Regulator 2. VIN2 (Pin 24): Power Input for Switching Regulator 2. This pin will generally be connected to VOUT. A 1μF MLCC capacitor is recommended on this pin. FB2 (Pin 25): Feedback Input for Switching Regulator 2. When regulator 2’s control loop is complete, this pin servos to 1 of 16 possible set points based on the commanded value from the I2C serial port. See Table 4. VC (Pin 26): Bat-Track External Switching Regulator Control Output. This pin drives the VC pin of an external Linear Technology step-down switching regulator. An external P-channel MOSFET is sometimes required to provide power to VOUT with its gate tied to the ACPR pin (see the Applications Information section). In concert with WALL and ACPR, it will regulate VOUT to maximize battery charger efficiency WALL (Pin 27): External Power Source Sense Input. WALL should be connected to the output of the external high voltage switching regulator and to the drain of an external P-channel MOSFET if used. It is used to determine when power is applied to the external regulator. When power is detected, ACPR is driven low and the USB input is automatically disabled. Pulling this pin above 4.3V enables the VC pin. 3576fb 14 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 PIN FUNCTIONS ACPR (Pin 28): External Power Source Present Output (Active Low). ACPR indicates that the output of the external high voltage step-down switching regulator is suitable for use by the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. It should be connected to the gate of an external P-channel MOSFET whose source is connected to VOUT and whose drain is connected to WALL. ACPR has a high level of VOUT and a low level of GND. The USB bidirectional switcher is disabled when ACPR is low. PROG (Pin 29): Charge Current Program and Charge Current Monitor Pin. Connecting a 1% resistor from PROG to ground programs the charge current. If sufficient input power is available in constant-current mode, this pin servos to 1V. The voltage on this pin always represents the actual charge current by using the following formula: IBAT = VPROG • 1030 RPROG CHRG (Pin 30): Open-Drain Charge Status Output. The CHRG pin indicates the status of the battery charger. Four possible charger states are represented by CHRG: charging, not charging, unresponsive battery and battery temperature out of range. In addition, CHRG is used to indicate whether there is a short-circuit condition on VBUS when the bidirectional switching regulator is in step-up mode (on-the-go). CHRG is modulated at 35kHz and switches between a low and a high duty cycle for easy recognition by either humans or microprocessors. See Table 1. CHRG requires a pull-up resistor and/or LED to provide indication. IDGATE (Pin 31): Ideal Diode Amplifier Output. This pin controls the gate of an optional external P-channel MOSFET used as an ideal diode between VOUT and BAT. The external ideal diode operates in parallel with the internal ideal diode. The source of the P-channel MOSFET should be connected to VOUT and the drain should be connected to BAT. If the external ideal diode MOSFET is not used, IDGATE should be left floating. BAT (Pin 32): Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Pin. Depending on available VBUS power, a Li-Ion battery on BAT will either deliver power to VOUT through the ideal diode or be charged from VOUT via the battery charger. VOUT (Pin 33): Output Voltage of the Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator in step-down mode and Input Voltage of the Battery Charger. The majority of the portable product should be powered from VOUT. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 will partition the available power between the external load on VOUT and the internal battery charger. Priority is given to the external load and any extra power is used to charge the battery. An ideal diode from BAT to VOUT ensures that VOUT is powered even if the load exceeds the allotted power from VBUS or if the VBUS power source is removed. In on-the-go mode, this pin delivers power to VBUS via the SW pin. VOUT should be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capacitor. VBUS (Pins 34, 35): Power Pins. These pins deliver power to VOUT via the SW pin by drawing controlled current from a DC source such as a USB port or DC output wall adapter. In on-the-go mode these pins provide power to external loads. Tie the two VBUS pins together at the part and bypass with a low impedance multilayer ceramic capacitor. SW (Pin 36): The SW pin transfers power between VBUS and VOUT via the bidirectional switching regulator. See the Applications Information section for a discussion of inductance value and current rating. ILIM0, ILIM1 (Pins 37, 38): ILIM0 and ILIM1 control the current limit of the PowerPath switching regulator. See Table 1. Both the ILIM0 and ILIM1 pins are logically ORed with their corresponding bits in the I2C serial port. See Tables 3 and 6. Each has a 2μA internal pull-down current source. Exposed Pad (Pin 39): Ground. The Exposed Pad should be connected to a continuous ground plane on the second layer of the printed circuit board by several vias directly under the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. 3576fb 15 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 BLOCK DIAGRAM VC 26 OVSENS 6 OVP OVGATE 5 WALL DETECT VC CONTROL VBUS 35 2.25MHz BIDIRECTIONAL PowerPath SWITCHING REGULATOR VBUS 34 27 WALL 28 ACPR 36 SW 2 LDO3V3 3.3V LDO SUSPEND LDO 500μA/2.5mA NTCBIAS 3 NTC 4 BATTERY TEMPERATURE MONITOR 5.1V 1.18V OR 1.15V CHRG 30 + – + + + – CLPROG 1 33 VOUT IDEAL CC/CV CHARGER – + 0.3V +– – + – 31 IDGATE 15mV 32 BAT 3.6V 29 PROG CHARGE STATUS 8 VIN1 ENABLE D/A 400mA 2.25MHz BUCK REGULATOR 9 SW1 7 FB1 4 24 VIN2 ENABLE D/A 400mA 2.25MHz BUCK REGULATOR 25 FB2 4 ILIM DECODE LOGIC 23 SW2 16 VIN3 ENABLE D/A 1A 2.25MHz BUCK REGULATOR ILIM0 37 17 SW3 20 FB3 ILIM1 38 21 RST3 4 ENOTG 11 EN1 10 EN2 22 EN3 19 DVCC 12 SDA 14 I2C PORT SCL 13 39 3576 BD GND 3576fb 16 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 TIMING DIAGRAM SDA tSU,STA tSU,DAT tLOW tBUF tSU,STO tHD,STA tHD,DAT 3208 F05 SCL tHIGH tHD,STA START CONDITION tSP REPEATED START CONDITION tf tr STOP CONDITION START CONDITION I2C WRITE PROTOCOL WRITE ADDRESS R/W SUB-ADDRESS A7 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 SDA 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 ACK SCL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A6 A5 A4 A3 INPUT DATA BYTE A2 A1 A0 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 START STOP ACK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ACK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 3576 I2C 3576fb 17 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Introduction The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are highly integrated power management ICs designed to make optimal use of the power available from a variety of sources, while minimizing power dissipation and easing thermal budgeting constraints. They include a high efficiency bidirectional PowerPath switching regulator, a controller for an external high voltage step-down switching regulator, a battery charger, an ideal diode, an always-on LDO, an overvoltage protection circuit and three general purpose step-down switching regulators. The entire chip is controlled by either direct digital control or by an I2C serial port or both. For automotive, firewire, and other high voltage applications, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 provide Bat-Track control of an external LTC step-down switching regulator to maximize battery charger efficiency and minimize heat production. When power is available from both the USB and an auxiliary input, the auxiliary input is given priority. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 contain both an internal 180mΩ ideal diode as well as an ideal diode controller for use with an optional external P-channel MOSFET. The ideal diode(s) from BAT to VOUT guarantee that ample power is always available to VOUT even if there is insufficient or absent power at VBUS or WALL. The innovative PowerPath architecture ensures that the application is powered immediately after external voltage is applied, even with a completely dead battery, by prioritizing power to the application. An always-on LDO provides a regulated 3.3V from available power at VOUT. Drawing very little quiescent current, this LDO will be on at all times and can be used to supply 20mA. When acting as a step-down converter, the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1’s bidirectional switching regulator takes power from USB, wall adapters, or other 5V sources and provides power to the application and efficiently charges the battery using Bat-Track. Because power is conserved the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 allow the load current on VOUT to exceed the current drawn by the USB port making maximum use of the allowable USB power for battery charging. For USB compatibility the switching regulator includes a precision average input current limit. The PowerPath switching regulator and battery charger communicate to ensure that the average input current never exceeds the USB specifications. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 feature an overvoltage protection circuit which is designed to work with an external N-channel MOSFET to prevent damage to their inputs caused by accidental application of high voltage. Additionally, the bidirectional switching regulator can also operate as a 5V synchronous step-up converter taking power from VOUT and delivering up to 500mA to VBUS without the need for any additional external components. This enables systems with USB dual-role transceivers to function as USB on-the-go dual-role devices. True output disconnect and average output current limit features are included for short-circuit protection. To prevent battery drain when a device is connected to a suspended USB port, an LDO from VBUS to VOUT provides either low power or high power USB suspend current to the application. The three general purpose switching regulators can be independently enabled either by direct digital control or by operating the I2C serial port. Under I2C control, all three switching regulators have adjustable set points so that voltages can be reduced when high processor performance is not needed. Along with constant frequency PWM mode, all three switching regulators have automatic Burst Mode operation and LDO modes for significantly reduced quiescent current under light load conditions. 3576fb 18 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator— Step-Down Mode If the combined external load plus battery charge current is large enough to cause the switching regulator to reach the programmed input current limit, the battery charger will reduce its charge current by precisely the amount necessary to enable the external load to be satisfied. Even if the battery charge current is programmed to exceed the allowable USB current, the USB specification for average input current will not be violated; the battery charger will reduce its current as needed. Furthermore, if the load current at VOUT exceeds the programmed power from VBUS, load current will be drawn from the battery via the ideal diode(s) even when the battery charger is enabled. The power delivered from VBUS to VOUT is controlled by a 2.25MHz constant frequency bidirectional switching regulator operating in step-down mode. VOUT drives the combination of the external load (step-down switching regulators 1, 2 and 3) and the battery charger. To meet the maximum USB load specification, the switching regulator contains a measurement and control system that ensures that the average input current remains below the level programmed at CLPROG. If the combined load does not cause the switching regulator to reach the programmed input current limit, VOUT will track approximately 0.3V above the battery voltage. By keeping the voltage across the battery charger at this low level, power lost to the battery charger is minimized. Figure 1 shows the power flow in step-down mode. TO AUTOMOTIVE, FIREWIRE, ETC.

The input current limit has five possible settings ranging from the USB suspend limit of 500μA up to 1A for wall adapter applications. Two of these settings are specifically intended for use in the 100mA and 500mA USB applications. Refer to Table 1 for current limit settings using the ILIM0 and ILIM1 pins and Table 6 for current limit settings using the I2C port.

VOUT vs BAT For very low-battery voltages, the battery charger acts like a load and, due to limited input power, its current will tend to pull VOUT below the 3.6V instant-on voltage. To prevent VOUT from falling below this level, an undervoltage circuit automatically detects that VOUT is falling and reduces the battery charge current as needed. This reduction ensures that load current and voltage are always prioritized while allowing as much battery charge current as possible. See Battery Charger Over Programming in the Applications Information section. where IVBUSQ is the quiescent current of the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1, VCLPROG is the CLPROG servo voltage in current limit, RCLPROG is the value of the programming resistor and hCLPROG is the ratio of the measured current at VBUS to the sample current delivered to CLPROG. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics table for values of hCLPROG, VCLPROG and IVBUSQ. Given worst-case circuit tolerances, the USB specification for the average input current in 100mA or 500mA mode will not be violated, provided that RCLPROG is 3.01k or greater. The voltage regulation loop is compensated by the capacitance on VOUT. A 10μF MLCC capacitor is required for loop stability. Additional capacitance beyond this value will improve transient response. While not in current limit, the switching regulator’s Bat-Track feature will set VOUT to approximately 300mV above the voltage at BAT. However, if the voltage at BAT is below 3.3V, and the load requirement does not cause the switching regulator to exceed its current limit, VOUT will regulate at a fixed 3.6V as shown in Figure 2. This instant-on operation will allow a portable product to run immediately when power is applied without waiting for the battery to charge. If the load does exceed the current limit at VBUS, VOUT will range between the no-load voltage and slightly below the battery voltage, indicated by the shaded region of Figure 2. Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator— Step-Up Mode An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors VBUS and keeps the switching regulator off until VBUS rises above 4.30V and is about 200mV above the battery voltage. Hysteresis on the UVLO turns off the regulator if VBUS falls below 4V or to within 50mV of the battery voltage. When this happens, system power at VOUT will be drawn from the battery via the ideal diode(s). For USB on-the-go applications, the bidirectional PowerPath switching regulator acts as a step-up converter to deliver power from VOUT to VBUS. The power from VOUT can come from the battery or the output of the external 3576fb 20 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION TO AUTOMOTIVE, FIREWIRE, ETC.

PowerPath Block Diagram—USB On-the-Go high voltage switching regulator. As a step-up converter, the bidirectional switching regulator produces 5V on VBUS and is capable of delivering at least 500mA. USB on-the-go can be enabled by either the external control pin, ENOTG, or via I2C. Figure 3 shows the power flow in step-up mode. An undervoltage lockout circuit monitors VOUT and prevents step-up conversion until VOUT rises above 2.8V. To prevent backdriving of VBUS when input power is available, the VBUS undervoltage lockout circuit prevents step-up conversion if VBUS is greater than 4.3V at the time step-up mode is enabled. The switching regulator is also designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal PMOS switch. This allows VBUS to go to zero volts during a short-circuit condition or while shut down, drawing zero current from VOUT . The voltage regulation loop is compensated by the capacitance on VBUS. A 4.7μF MLCC is required for loop stability. Additional capacitance beyond this value will improve transient response. The VBUS voltage has approximately 3% load regulation up to an output current of 500mA. At light loads, the switching regulator goes into Burst Mode operation. The regulator will deliver power to VBUS until it reaches 5.1V after which the NMOS and PMOS switches shut off. The regulator delivers power again to VBUS once it falls below 5.1V. The switching regulator features both peak inductor and average output current limit. The peak current mode architecture limits peak inductor current on a cycle-bycycle basis. The peak current limit is equal to VBUS/2Ω to a maximum of 1.8A so that in the event of a sudden short circuit, the current limit will fold back to a lower value. In step-up mode, the voltage on CLPROG represents the average output current of the switching regulator when a programming resistor and an averaging capacitor are connected from CLPROG to GND. With a 3.01k resistor on CLPROG, the bidirectional switching regulator has an output current limit of 680mA. As the output current ap3576fb 21 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION proaches this limit CLPROG servos to 1.15V and VBUS falls rapidly to VOUT . When VBUS is close to VOUT there may not be sufficient negative slope on the inductor current when the PMOS switch is on to balance the rise in the inductor current when the NMOS switch is on. This will cause the inductor current to run away and the voltage on CLPROG to rise. When CLPROG reaches 1.2V the switching of the synchronous PMOS is terminated and VOUT is applied statically to its gate. This ensures that the inductor current will have sufficient negative slope during the time current is flowing to the output. The PMOS will resume switching when CLPROG drops down to 1.15V. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 maintain voltage regulation even if VOUT is above VBUS. This is achieved by disabling the PMOS switch. The PMOS switch is enabled when VBUS rises above VOUT + 180mV and is disabled when it falls below VOUT + 70mV to prevent the inductor current from running away when not in current limit. Since the PMOS no longer acts as a low impedance switch in this mode, there will be more power dissipation within the IC. This will cause a sharp drop in efficiency. If VBUS is less than 4V and the PMOS switch is disabled for more than 7.2ms a short-circuit fault will be declared and the part will shut off. The CHRG pin will blink at 35kHz with a duty cycle that varies between 12% and 88% at a 4Hz rate. See Table 2. To re-enable step-up mode, the ENOTG pin or, with ENOTG grounded, the B0 bit in the I2C port must be cycled low and then high. Bat-Track Auxiliary High Voltage Switching Regulator Control The WALL, ACPR and VC pins can be used in conjunction with an external high voltage step-down switching regulator such as the LT®3480 or the LT3653 to minimize heat production when operating from higher voltage sources, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. Bat-Track control circuitry regulates the external switching regulator’s output voltage to the larger of (BAT + 300mV) or 3.6V. This maximizes battery charger efficiency while still allowing instant-on operation when the battery is deeply discharged. The feedback network of the high voltage regulator should be set to generate an output voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. When high voltage is applied to the external regulator, WALL will rise toward this programmed output voltage. When WALL exceeds approximately 4.3V, ACPR is brought low and the Bat-Track control of the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 overdrives the local VC control of the external high voltage step-down switching regulator. Therefore, once the Bat-Track control is enabled, the output voltage is set independent of the switching regulator feedback network. Bat-Track control provides a significant efficiency advantage over the simple use of a 5V switching regulator output to drive the battery charger. With a 5V output driving VOUT, battery charger efficiency is approximately: ηTOTAL = ηBUCK • VBAT 5V where ηBUCK is the efficiency of the high voltage switching regulator and 5V is the output voltage of the switching regulator. With a typical switching regulator efficiency of 87% and a typical battery voltage of 3.8V, the total battery charger efficiency is approximately 66%. Assuming a 1A charge current, 1.7W of power is dissipated just to charge the battery! With Bat-Track, battery charger efficiency is approximately: ηTOTAL = ηBUCK • VBAT VBAT + 0.3V With the same assumptions as above, the total battery charger efficiency is approximately 81%. This example works out to less than 1W of power dissipation, or almost 60% less heat. See the Typical Applications section for complete circuits using the LT3480 and the LT3653 with Bat-Track control. Ideal Diode(s) from BAT to VOUT The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 each have an internal ideal diode as well as a controller for an optional external ideal diode. Both the internal and the external ideal diodes are always on and will respond quickly whenever VOUT drops below BAT. If the load current increases beyond the power allowed from the switching regulator, additional power will be pulled from the battery via the ideal diode(s). Furthermore, if power to VBUS (USB or wall adapter) is removed, 3576fb 22 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION copy of the VBUS current to the CLPROG pin, which will servo to approximately 100mV in this mode. To remain compliant with the USB specification, the input to the LDO is current limited so that it will not exceed the low power or high power suspend specification. If the load on VOUT exceeds the suspend current limit, the additional current will come from the battery via the ideal diode(s). 2200 VISHAY Si2333 OPTIONAL EXTERNAL IDEAL DIODE 2000 1800 CURRENT (mA) 1600 LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 IDEAL DIODE 1400 1200 1000 800 600 ON SEMICONDUCTOR MBRM120LT3 400 3.3V Always-On LDO Supply 200 0 0 60 120 180 240 300 360 420 480 FORWARD VOLTAGE (mV) (BAT – VOUT) 3576 F04 Figure 4. Ideal Diode V-I Characteristics then all of the application power will be provided by the battery via the ideal diodes. The ideal diode(s) will be fast enough to keep VOUT from drooping with only the storage capacitance required for the switching regulator. The internal ideal diode consists of a precision amplifier that activates a large on-chip P-channel MOSFET whenever the voltage at VOUT is approximately 15mV (VFWD) below the voltage at BAT. Within the amplifier’s linear range, the small-signal resistance of the ideal diode will be quite low, keeping the forward drop near 15mV. At higher current levels, the MOSFET will be in full conduction. To supplement the internal ideal diode, an external P-channel MOSFET may be added from BAT to VOUT. The IDGATE pin of the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 drives the gate of the external P-channel MOSFET for automatic ideal diode control. The source of the external P-channel MOSFET should be connected to VOUT and the drain should be connected to BAT. Capable of driving a 1nF load, the IDGATE pin can control an external P-channel MOSFET transistor having an on-resistance of 30mΩ or lower. Suspend LDO If the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are configured for USB suspend mode, the bidirectional switching regulator is disabled and the suspend LDO provides power to the VOUT pin (presuming there is power available to VBUS). This LDO will prevent the battery from running down when the portable product has access to a suspended USB port. Regulating at 4.6V, this LDO only becomes active when the switching converter is disabled (suspended). The suspend LDO sends a scaled The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 include a low quiescent current low dropout regulator that is always powered. This LDO can be used to provide power to a system pushbutton controller, standby microcontroller or real time clock. Designed to deliver up to 20mA, the always-on LDO requires at least a 1μF low impedance ceramic bypass capacitor for compensation. The LDO is powered from VOUT, and therefore will enter dropout at loads less than 20mA as VOUT falls near 3.3V. If the LDO3V3 output is not used, it should be disabled by connecting it to VOUT. Battery Charger The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 include a constant-current/constant-voltage battery charger with automatic recharge, automatic termination by safety timer, low voltage trickle charging, bad cell detection and thermistor sensor input for out-of-temperature charge pausing. Battery Preconditioning When a battery charge cycle begins, the battery charger first determines if the battery is deeply discharged. If the battery voltage is below VTRKL, typically 2.85V, an automatic trickle charge feature sets the battery charge current to 10% of the programmed value. If the low voltage persists for more than 1/2 hour, the battery charger automatically terminates and indicates via the CHRG pin that the battery was unresponsive. Once the battery voltage is above 2.85V, the charger begins charging in full power constant-current mode. The current delivered to the battery will try to reach 1030/RPROG. Depending on available input power and external load conditions, the battery charger may or may not be able to charge at the full programmed rate. The external load will always be prioritized over the battery charge current. 3576fb 23 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Likewise, the USB current limit programming will always be observed and only additional power will be available to charge the battery. When system loads are light, battery charge current will be maximized. Charge Termination The battery charger has a built-in safety timer. When the voltage on the battery reaches the pre-programmed float voltage, the battery charger will regulate the battery voltage and the charge current will decrease naturally. Once the battery charger detects that the battery has reached the float voltage, the four hour safety timer is started. After the safety timer expires, charging of the battery will discontinue and no more current will be delivered. Automatic Recharge After the battery charger terminates, it will remain off drawing only microamperes of current from the battery. If the portable product remains in this state long enough, the battery will eventually self discharge. To ensure that the battery is always topped off, a charge cycle will automatically begin when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold which is typically 100mV less than the charger’s float voltage. In the event that the safety timer is running when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold, it will reset back to zero. To prevent brief excursions below the recharge threshold from resetting the safety timer, the battery voltage must be below the recharge threshold for more than 1ms. The charge cycle and safety timer will also restart if the VBUS UVLO cycles low and then high (e.g., VBUS is removed and then replaced), or if the battery charger is cycled on and off by the I2C port. Charge Current The charge current is programmed using a single resistor from PROG to ground. 1/1030th of the battery charge current is sent to PROG which will attempt to servo to 1.000V. Thus, the battery charge current will try to reach 1030 times the current in the PROG pin. The program resistor and the charge current are calculated using the following equation: ICHG = VPROG • 1030 RPROG In either the constant-current or constant-voltage charging modes, the voltage at the PROG pin will be proportional to the actual charge current delivered to the battery. Therefore, the actual charge current can be determined at any time by monitoring the PROG pin voltage and using the following equation: IBAT = VPROG •1030 RPROG In many cases, the actual battery charge current, IBAT, will be lower than ICHG due to limited input power available and prioritization with the system load drawn from VOUT. The Battery Charger Flow Chart illustrates the battery charger’s algorithm. Charge Status Indication The CHRG pin indicates the status of the battery charger. Four possible states are represented by CHRG which include charging, not charging, unresponsive battery and battery temperature out of range. The signal at the CHRG pin can be easily recognized as one of the above four states by either a human or a microprocessor. An open-drain output, the CHRG pin can drive an indicator LED through a current limiting resistor for human interfacing or simply a pull-up resistor for microprocessor interfacing. To make the CHRG pin easily recognized by both humans and microprocessors, the pin is either low for charging, high for not charging, or it is switched at high frequency (35kHz) to indicate the two possible faults, unresponsive battery and battery temperature out of range. When charging begins, CHRG is pulled low and remains low for the duration of a normal charge cycle. When charging is complete, i.e., the BAT pin reaches the float voltage and the charge current has dropped to one-tenth of the programmed value, the CHRG pin is released (Hi-Z). If a fault occurs, the pin is switched at 35kHz. While switching, its duty cycle is modulated between a high and low value at a very low frequency. The low and high duty cycles are disparate enough to make an LED appear to be on or off thus giving the appearance of “blinking”. 3576fb 24 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Battery Charger Flow Chart POWER ON/ ENABLE CHARGER CLEAR EVENT TIMER ASSERT CHRG LOW NTC OUT OF RANGE YES INHIBIT CHARGING NO PAUSE EVENT TIMER BAT < 2.85V BATTERY STATE BAT > VFLOAT – E 2.85V < BAT < VFLOAT – E CHARGE AT 100V/RPROG (C/10 RATE) CHRG CURRENTLY HIGH-Z CHARGE WITH FIXED VOLTAGE (VFLOAT) CHARGE AT 1030V/RPROG RATE YES NO RUN EVENT TIMER NO INDICATE NTC FAULT AT CHRG RUN EVENT TIMER PAUSE EVENT TIMER TIMER > 30 MINUTES TIMER > 4 HOURS YES NO YES INHIBIT CHARGING STOP CHARGING IBAT < C/10 NO YES BAT RISING THROUGH VRECHRG INDICATE BATTERY FAULT AT CHRG YES CHRG HIGH-Z CHRG HIGH-Z NO NO BAT > 2.85V YES BAT FALLING THROUGH VRECHRG NO YES NO BAT < VRECHRG YES 3576 FLOW 3576fb 25 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Each of the two faults has its own unique “blink” rate for human recognition as well as two unique duty cycles for machine recognition. The CHRG pin does not respond to the C/10 threshold if the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 is in VBUS current limit. This prevents false end of charge indications due to insufficient power available to the battery charger. Table 2 illustrates the four possible states of the CHRG pin when the battery charger is active. Table 2. CHRG Signal STATUS Charging MODULATION FREQUENCY (BLINK) FREQUENCY 0Hz 0Hz (Low-Z) DUTY CYCLES 100% Not Charging 0Hz 0Hz (Hi-Z) 0% NTC Fault 35kHz 1Hz at 50% 6%, 94% Bad Battery or On-The-Go Short-Circuit Fault 35kHz 4Hz at 50% 12%, 88% An NTC fault is represented by a 35kHz pulse train whose duty cycle alternates between 6% and 94% at a 1Hz rate. A human will easily recognize the 1Hz rate as a “slow” blinking which indicates the out-of-range battery temperature while a microprocessor will be able to decode either the 6% or 94% duty cycles as an NTC fault. If a battery is found to be unresponsive to charging (i.e., its voltage remains below 2.85V for 1/2 hour), the CHRG pin gives the bad battery fault indication. For this fault, a human would easily recognize the 4Hz “fast” blink of the LED while a microprocessor would be able to decode either the 12% or 88% duty cycles as a bad battery fault. Note that the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are 3-terminal PowerPath products where system load is always prioritized over battery charging. Due to excessive system load, there may not be sufficient power to charge the battery beyond the trickle charge threshold voltage within the bad battery timeout period. In this case, the battery charger will falsely indicate a bad battery. System software may then reduce the load and reset the battery charger to try again. In addition to charge status, the CHRG pin is also used to indicate whether there is a short-circuit condition on VBUS when the bidirectional switching regulator is in onthe-go mode. When a short-circuit condition is detected, CHRG will blink with the same modulation frequency and duty cycle as a bad battery fault. If the charger is on at the same time that on-the-go is enabled, a 4Hz modulation of 12% and 88% duty cycles on CHRG could indicate a bad battery or a short-circuit fault on VBUS. System software should turn off the charger or on-the-go to determine which fault has occurred. Although very improbable, it is possible that a duty cycle reading could be taken at the bright-dim transition (low duty cycle to high duty cycle). When this happens the duty cycle reading will be precisely 50%. If the duty cycle reading is 50%, system software should disqualify it and take a new duty cycle reading. NTC Thermistor The battery temperature is measured by placing a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor close to the battery pack. To use this feature connect the NTC thermistor, RNTC, between the NTC pin and ground and a bias resistor, RNOM, from NTCBIAS to NTC. RNOM should be a 1% 200ppm resistor with a value equal to the value of the chosen NTC thermistor at 25°C (R25). The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 pauses charging when the resistance of the NTC thermistor drops to 0.54 times the value of R25 or approximately 54k for a 100k thermistor. For a Vishay Curve 1 thermistor, this corresponds to approximately 40°C. If the battery charger is in constant voltage (float) mode, the safety timer also pauses until the thermistor indicates a return to a valid temperature. As the temperature drops, the resistance of the NTC thermistor rises. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are also designed to pause charging when the value of the NTC thermistor increases to 3.25 times the value of R25. For a Vishay Curve 1 100k thermistor, this resistance, 325k, corresponds to approximately 0°C. The hot and cold comparators each have approximately 3°C of hysteresis to prevent oscillation about the trip point. Grounding the NTC pin disables all NTC functionality. 3576fb 26 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Thermal Regulation To prevent thermal damage to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 or surrounding components, an internal thermal feedback loop will automatically decrease the programmed charge current if the die temperature rises to 105°C. This thermal regulation technique protects the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 from excessive temperature due to high power operation or high ambient thermal conditions, and allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability with a given circuit board design. The benefit of the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 thermal regulation loop is that charge current can be set according to actual conditions rather than worst-case conditions for a given application with the assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case conditions. Overvoltage Protection The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 can protect itself from the inadvertent application of excessive voltage to VBUS or WALL with just two external components: an N-channel MOSFET and a 6.2k resistor. The maximum safe overvoltage magnitude will be determined by the choice of the external MOSFET and its associated drain breakdown voltage. The overvoltage protection module consists of two pins. The first, OVSENS, is used to measure the externally applied voltage through an external resistor. The second, OVGATE, is an output used to drive the gate pin of the external MOSFET. When OVSENS is below 6V, an internal charge pump will drive OVGATE to approximately 1.88 × OVSENS. This will enhance the N-channel MOSFET and provide a low impedance connection to VBUS or WALL which will, in turn, power the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. If OVSENS should rise above 6V due to a fault or use of an incorrect wall adapter, OVGATE will be pulled to GND disabling the external MOSFET and therefore protecting downstream circuitry. When the voltage drops below 6V again, the external MOSFET will be re-enabled. When USB on-the-go is enabled, the bidirectional switching regulator powers up the overvoltage protection circuit through the body diode of the external MOSFET, thus providing protection to the part even when VBUS is sourcing power. When high voltage is applied to the drain of the external MOSFET, VBUS will remain at 5V. Once the high voltage is removed, the drain of the external MOSFET will return to 5V. The charge pump output on OVGATE has limited output drive capability. Care must be taken to avoid leakage on this pin as it may adversely affect operation. See the Applications Information section for resistor power dissipation rating calculations, a table of recommended components, and examples of dual-input and reverse input protection. I2C Interface The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 may receive commands from a host (master) using the standard 2-wire I2C interface. The Timing Diagram shows the timing relationship of the signals on the bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be HIGH when the bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or current sources, such as the LTC1694 I2C accelerator, are required on these lines. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1are receive-only slave devices. The I2C control signals, SDA and SCL are scaled internally to the DVCC supply. DVCC should be connected to the same power supply as the microcontroller generating the I2C signals. The I2C port has an undervoltage lockout on the DVCC pin. When DVCC is below approximately 1V, the I2C serial port is cleared and switching regulators 1, 2 and 3 are set to full scale. Bus Speed The I2C port is designed to be operated at speeds of up to 400kHz. It has built-in timing delays to ensure correct operation when addressed from an I2C compliant master device. It also contains input filters designed to suppress glitches should the bus become corrupted. Start and Stop Conditions A bus master signals the beginning of a communication to a slave device by transmitting a START condition. A START condition is generated by transitioning SDA from high to LOW while SCL is HIGH. When the master has finished communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition by transitioning SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL is high. The bus is then free for communication with another I2C device. 3576fb 27 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Byte Format Bus Write Operation Each byte sent to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 must be eight bits long followed by an extra clock cycle for the acknowledge bit. The data should be sent to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 with the most significant bit (MSB) first. The master initiates communication with the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 with a START condition and a 7-bit address followed by the R/W bit = 0. If the address matches that of the LTC3576/LTC3576-1, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 return an acknowledge. The master should then deliver the subaddress. Again the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 acknowledge and the cycle is repeated for the data byte. The data byte is transferred to an internal holding latch upon the return of its acknowledge by the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. This procedure must be repeated for each sub-address that requires new data. After one or more data bytes have been transferred to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1, the master may terminate the communication with a STOP condition. Alternatively, a repeated START condition can be initiated by the master and another chip on the I2C bus can be addressed. This cycle can continue indefinitely and the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 remembers the last input of valid data that it received. Once all chips on the bus have been addressed and sent valid data, a global STOP condition can be sent and the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 will update their command latches with the data that they have received. Acknowledge The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between the master and the slave. An acknowledge (active low) generated by the slave (LTC3576/LTC3576-1) lets the master know that the latest byte of information was received. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock cycle. The slave-receiver must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains a stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock pulse. Slave Address The address byte consists of the 7-bit address and the read/write (R/W) bit. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 respond to only one 7-bit address which has been factory programmed to 0001001. The R/W bit is the least significant bit of the address byte. It must be 0 for the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 to recognize the address since they are write only devices. Thus the address byte is 0x12. If the correct seven bit address is given but the R/W bit is 1, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 will not respond. Sub-Addressed Writing The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 have four command registers for control input. They are accessed by the I2C port via a sub-addressed writing system. Each write to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 consists of three bytes. The first byte is always the LTC3576/LTC3576-1’s write address. The second byte represents the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1’s sub-address. The sub-address acts as pointer to direct the subsequent data byte within the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. The third byte consists of the data to be written to the location pointed to by the sub-address. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 contain four sub-addresses at locations 0x00, 0x01, 0x02 and 0x03. In certain circumstances the data on the I2C bus may become corrupted. In these cases, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 respond appropriately by preserving only the last set of complete data that they have received. For example, assume the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 have been successfully addressed and are receiving data when a STOP condition mistakenly occurs. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 will ignore this STOP condition and will not respond until a new START condition, correct address and sub-address, new set of data and STOP condition are transmitted. Likewise, with only one exception, if the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 were previously addressed and sent valid data but not updated with a STOP, they will respond to any STOP that appears on the bus, independent of the number of repeated STARTs that have occurred. If a repeated START is given and the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 successfully acknowledge their address and sub-address, they will not respond to a STOP until a full byte of the new data has been received and acknowledged. 3576fb 28 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Input Data Table 3 illustrates the four data bytes that may be written to the LTC3576/LTC3576-1. The first byte at sub-address 0 controls the servo voltage for switching regulators 1 and 2. The second byte at sub-address 1 controls the servo voltage of switching regulator 3 and the enable signals for all three switching regulators, as well as the enable signal for the PowerPath switching regulator to power up VBUS for USB on-the-go. The servo voltages are decoded in Table 4. The default servo voltage is 0.8V. Table 3.

Each switching regulator can be independently set to one of three operating modes listed in Table 5. Table 5. General Purpose Switching Regulator Modes C7 (SDA)* C6 (SCL)* Switching Regulator 1 Mode C5 (SDA)* C4 (SCL)* Switching Regulator 2 Mode C3 (SDA)* C2 (SCL)* Switching Regulator 3 Mode 0 X Pulse-Skipping Mode 1 0 LDO Mode 1 1 Burst Mode Operation *SDA and SCL take on this context only when DVCC = 0V. The input current limit settings are decoded according to Table 6. This table indicates the maximum current that will be drawn from the VBUS pin in the event that the load at VOUT (battery charger plus system load) exceeds the power available. Any additional power will be drawn from the battery. The start-up state for the input current limit setting is 00 representing the low power 100mA USB setting. Table 6. USB Current Limit Settings D6 C1 (ILIM1)* C0 (ILIM0)* X 0 0 1× Mode (USB 100mA Limit) X 0 1 10× Mode (Wall 1A Limit) 0 1 0 Low Power Suspend (USB 500μA Limit) 1 1 0 High Power Suspend (USB 2.5mA Limit) X 1 1 5× Mode (USB 500mA Limit) USB SETTING *ILIM1 and ILIM0 can only be used to enable the low power suspend mode and are logically ORed with C1 and C0, respectively. The fourth and final byte of input data at sub-address 3 provides bits for disabling the battery charger and enabling the high power suspend mode current limit of 2.5mA. Disabling the I2C Port The I2C serial port can be disabled by grounding the DVCC pin. In this mode, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 are controlled through the individual logic input pins EN1, EN2, EN3, ENOTG, ILIM0, ILIM1, SDA and SCL. Some functionality is not available in this mode such as the programmability of switching regulators 1, 2 and 3’s output voltage, the battery charger disable feature and the high power suspend mode. In this mode, the programmable switching regulators have a fixed servo voltage of 0.8V. Because the SDA and SCL pins have no other context when DVCC is grounded, these pins are re-mapped to control the switching regulator mode bits C2 to C7. SCL maps to C2, C4 and C6 while SDA maps to C3, C5 and C7. RST3 Pin The RST3 pin is an open-drain output used to indicate that switching regulator 3 has been enabled and has reached its final voltage. RST3 remains low impedance until regulator 3 reaches 92% of its regulation value. A 230ms delay is included to allow a system microcontroller ample time to reset itself. RST3 may be used as a poweron reset to the microprocessor powered by regulator 3 or may be used to enable regulators 1 and/or 2 for supply sequencing. RST3 is an open-drain output and requires a pull-up resistor to the output voltage of regulator 3 or another appropriate power source. Shutdown Mode The bidirectional USB switching regulator in step-down mode is enabled whenever VBUS is above VUVLO and the LTC3576/LTC3576-1are not in one of the two USB suspend modes (500μA or 2.5mA). When power is available from both the USB and auxiliary inputs, the auxiliary input is given priority and the USB switching regulator is disabled. The ideal diode(s) are enabled at all times and cannot be disabled. 3576fb 30 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION Step-Down Switching Regulators Step-Down Switching Regulator Operating Modes The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 contain three general purpose 2.25MHz step-down constant-frequency current mode switching regulators. Two regulators provide up to 400mA and a third switching regulator can provide up to 1A. All three switching regulators can be programmed for a minimum start-up output voltage of 0.8V and can be used to power a microcontroller core, microcontroller I/O, memory, disk drive or other logic circuitry. All three switching regulators have I2C programmable set points for on-the-fly power savings. They also support 100% duty cycle operation (low dropout mode) when their input voltage drops very close to their output voltage. To suit a variety of applications, selectable mode functions can be used to trade off noise for efficiency. Three modes are available to control the operation of the LTC3576/LTC3576-1’s general purpose switching regulators. At moderate to heavy loads, the pulse skip mode provides the lowest noise switching solution. At lighter loads, Burst Mode operation or LDO mode may be selected. The switching regulators include soft-start to limit inrush current when powering on, shortcircuit current protection and switch node slew limiting circuitry to reduce radiated EMI. No external compensation components are required. The operating mode of the regulators may be set by either I2C control or by manual control of the SDA and SCL pins if the I2C port is not used. Each converter may be individually enabled by either their external control pins EN1, EN2, EN3 or by the I2C port. All three switching regulators have individual programmable feedback servo voltages via I2C control. The switching regulator input supplies VIN1, VIN2 and VIN3 will generally be connected to the system load pin VOUT. The LTC3576/LTC3576-1’s general purpose switching regulators include three possible operating modes to meet the noise/power needs of a variety of applications. In pulse-skipping mode, an internal latch is set at the start of every cycle which turns on the main P-channel MOSFET switch. During each cycle, a current comparator compares the peak inductor current to the output of an error amplifier. The output of the current comparator resets the internal latch which causes the main P-channel MOSFET switch to turn off and the N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier to turn on. The N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier turns off at the end of the 2.25MHz cycle or if the current through the N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier drops to zero. Using this method of operation, the error amplifier adjusts the peak inductor current to deliver the required output power. All necessary compensation is internal to the switching regulator requiring only a single ceramic output capacitor for stability. At light loads in PWM mode, the inductor current may reach zero on each pulse which will turn off the N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier. In this case, the switch node (SW) goes high impedance and the switch node voltage will “ring”. This is discontinuous mode operation, and is normal behavior for a switching regulator. At very light loads in pulse-skipping mode, the switching regulators will automatically skip pulses as needed to maintain output regulation. At high duty cycles (VOUTx > VINx /2) it is possible for the inductor current to reverse, causing the regulator to operate continuously at light loads. This is normal and regulation is maintained, but the supply current will increase to several mA due to continuous switching. 3576fb 31 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 OPERATION In Burst Mode operation, the switching regulator automatically switches between fixed frequency PWM operation and hysteretic control as a function of the load current. At light loads, the regulator operates in hysteretic mode and uses a constant current algorithm to control the inductor current. While in Burst Mode operation, the output capacitor is charged to a voltage slightly higher than the regulation point. The step-down switching regulator then goes into sleep mode, during which the output capacitor provides the load current. In sleep mode, most of the regulator’s circuitry is powered down, conserving battery power. When the output voltage drops below a pre-determined value, the switching regulator circuitry is powered on and another burst cycle begins. The duration for which the regulator operates in sleep mode depends on the load current. The sleep time decreases as the load current increases. Burst Mode operation provides a significant improvement in efficiency at light loads at the expense of higher output ripple when compared to pulse-skipping mode. At heavy loads Burst Mode operation functions in the same manner as pulse-skipping mode. Finally, the switching regulators have an LDO mode that gives a DC option for regulating their output voltages. In LDO mode, the switching regulators are converted to linear regulators and deliver continuous power from their SWx pins through their respective inductors. This mode gives the lowest possible output noise as well as low quiescent current at light loads. The step-down switching regulators allow on-the-fly mode transitions, providing seamless transition between modes even under load. This allows the user to switch back and forth between modes to reduce output ripple or increase low current efficiency as needed. Step-Down Switching Regulator Dropout Operation It is possible for a switching regulator’s input voltage, VINx, to approach its programmed output voltage (e.g., a battery voltage of 3.4V with a programmed output voltage of 3.3V). When this happens, the PMOS switch duty cycle increases until it is turned on continuously at 100%. In this dropout condition, the respective output voltage equals the regulator’s input voltage minus the voltage drops across the internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor. Step-Down Switching Regulator Low Supply Operation The LTC3576/LTC3576-1 incorporate an undervoltage lockout circuit on VOUT which shuts down the general purpose switching regulators when VOUT drops below VOUT(UVLO). This UVLO prevents unstable operation. Step-Down Switching Regulator Soft-Start Operation Soft-start is accomplished by gradually increasing the peak inductor current for each switching regulator over a 500μs period. This allows each output to rise slowly, helping minimize the battery surge current. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever a given switching regulator is enabled, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal shutdown or UVLO). A soft-start cycle is not triggered by changing operating modes. This allows seamless output operation when transitioning between Burst Mode operation, pulseskipping mode or LDO mode. Step-Down Switching Regulator Switching Slew Rate Control The step-down switching regulators contain new patent pending circuitry to limit the slew rate of the switch node (SWx). This new circuitry is designed to transition the switch node over a period of a couple of nanoseconds, significantly reducing radiated EMI and conducted supply noise. Step-Down Switching Regulator in Shutdown The step-down switching regulators are in shutdown when not enabled for operation. In shutdown, all circuitry in the step-down switching regulator is disconnected from the switching regulator input supply leaving only a few nanoamperes of leakage current. The step-down switching regulator outputs are individually pulled to ground through a 10k resistor on their SWx pins when in shutdown. 3576fb 32 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator CLPROG Resistor and Capacitor Selection Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator VBUS and VOUT Bypass Capacitor Selection As described in the Bidirectional Switching Regulator—Step-Down Mode section, the resistor on the CLPROG pin determines the average VBUS input current limit when the switching regulator is set to either the 1× mode (USB 100mA), the 5× mode (USB 500mA) or the 10× mode. The VBUS input current will be comprised of two components, the current that is used to drive VOUT and the quiescent current of the switching regulator. To ensure that the USB specification is strictly met, both components of the input current should be considered. The Electrical Characteristics table gives the typical values for quiescent currents in all settings as well as current limit programming accuracy. To get as close to the 500mA or 100mA specifications as possible, a precision resistor should be used. Recall that: The type and value of capacitors used with the LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 determine several important parameters such as regulator control-loop stability and input voltage ripple. Because the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 use a bidirectional switching regulator between VBUS and VOUT, the VBUS current waveform contains high frequency components. It is strongly recommended that a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) be used to bypass VBUS. Tantalum and aluminum capacitors are not recommended because of their high ESR. The value of the capacitor on VBUS directly controls the amount of input ripple for a given load current. Increasing the size of this capacitor will reduce the input ripple. IVBUS = IVBUSQ + VCLPROG/RCLPPROG • (hCLPROG +1). An averaging capacitor is required in parallel with the resistor so that the switching regulator can determine the average input current. This capacitor also provides the dominant pole for the feedback loop when current limit is reached. To ensure stability, the capacitor on CLPROG should be 0.1μF or larger. Bidirectional PowerPath Switching Regulator Inductor Selection Because the input voltage range and output voltage range of the PowerPath switching regulator are both fairly narrow, the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 were designed for a specific inductance value of 3.3μH. Some inductors which may be suitable for this application are listed in Table 7. Table 7.

The maximum inrush charge for USB on-the-go devices is 33μC. This places a limit of 6.5μF of capacitance on VBUS assuming a linear capacitor. However, most ceramic capacitors have a capacitance that varies with bias voltage. The average capacitance needs to be less than 6.5μF over a 0V to 5V bias voltage range to meet the inrush current limit specification. A 10μF capacitor in a 0805 package, such as the Murata GRM21BR71A106KE51L would be a suitable VBUS bypass capacitor. If more capacitance is required for better noise performance and stability it should be connected directly to the VBUS pin when using the overvoltage protection circuit. This extra capacitance will be soft-connected over several milliseconds to limit inrush current and avoid excessive transient voltage drops on VBUS. To prevent large VOUT voltage steps during transient load conditions, it is also recommended that an MLCC be used to bypass VOUT. The output capacitor is used in the compensation of the switching regulator. At least 10μF with low ESR are required on VOUT. Additional capacitance will improve load transient performance and stability. MLCCs typically have exceptional ESR performance. MLCCs combined with a tight board layout and an unbroken ground plane will yield very good performance and low EMI emissions. 3576fb 33 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION There are MLCCs available with several types of dielectrics each having considerably different characteristics. For example, X7R MLCCs have the best voltage and temperature stability. X5R MLCCs have apparently higher packing density but poorer performance over their rated voltage and temperature ranges. Y5V MLCCs have the highest packing density, but must be used with caution, because of their extreme nonlinear characteristic of capacitance versus voltage. The actual in-circuit capacitance of a ceramic capacitor should be measured with a small AC signal and DC bias as is expected in-circuit. Many vendors specify the capacitance versus voltage with a 1VRMS AC test signal and, as a result, over state the capacitance that the capacitor will present in the application. Using similar operating conditions as the application, the user must measure or request from the vendor the actual capacitance to determine if the selected capacitor meets the minimum capacitance that the application requires. Step-Down Switching Regulator Output Voltage Programming All three switching regulators have I2C programmable set points and can be programmed for start-up output voltages of at least 0.8V. The full-scale output voltage for each switching regulator is programmed using a resistor divider from the switching regulator output connected to the FBx pins such that: ⎛ R1 ⎞ VOUTx = VFBx ⎜ + 1⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ where VFBx ranges from 0.425V to 0.8V. See Figure 5. Typical values for R1 are in the range of 40k to 1M. The capacitor CFB cancels the pole created by feedback resistors and the input capacitance of the FBx pin and also helps VINx L SWx LTC3576/ LTC3576-1 FBx VOUTx CFB R1 COUT R2 GND 3576 F05 to improve transient response for output voltages much greater than 0.8V. A variety of capacitor sizes can be used for CFB but a value of 10pF is recommended for most applications. Experimentation with capacitor sizes between 2pF and 22pF may yield improved transient response. Step-Down Switching Regulator Inductor Selection Many different sizes and shapes of inductors are available from numerous manufacturers. Choosing the right inductor from such a large selection of devices can be overwhelming, but following a few basic guidelines will make the selection process much simpler. The general purpose step-down converters are designed to work with inductors in the range of 2μH to 10μH. For most applications a 4.7μH inductor is suggested for the lower current switching regulators 1 and 2 and 2μH is recommended for the higher current switching regulator 3. Larger value inductors reduce ripple current which improves output ripple voltage. Lower value inductors result in higher ripple current and improved transient response time. To maximize efficiency, choose an inductor with a low DC resistance. For a 1.2V output, efficiency is reduced about 2% for 100mΩ series resistance at 400mA load current, and about 2% for 300mΩ series resistance at 100mA load current. Choose an inductor with a DC current rating at least 1.5 times larger than the maximum load current to ensure that the inductor does not saturate during normal operation. If output short circuit is a possible condition, the inductor should be rated to handle the maximum peak current specified for the step-down converters. Different core materials and shapes will change the size/current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or Permalloy materials are small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical characteristics. Inductors that are very thin or have a very small volume typically have much higher core and DCR losses, and will not give the best efficiency. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size, performance and any radiated EMI requirements than on what the LTC3576/LTC3576-1 require to operate. Figure 5. Buck Converter Application Circuit 3576fb 34 LTC3576/LTC3576-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode operation. Lower inductor values will cause the Burst Mode operation switching frequency to increase. Table 8 shows several inductors that work well with the LTC3576/LTC3576-1’s general purpose regulators. These inductors offer a good compromise in current rating, DCR and physical size. Consult each manufacturer for detailed information on their entire selection of inductors. Table 8.

Only X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors should be used because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other ceramic types. A 10μF output capaci- tor is sufficient for most applications. For good transient response and stability the output capacitor should retain at least 4μF of capacitance over operating temperature and bias voltage. Each switching regulator input supply should be bypassed with a 1μF capacitor. Consult with capacitor manufacturers for detailed information on their selection and specifications of ceramic capacitors. Many manufacturers now offer very thin (
