DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3455 is a complete power management solution for a variety of portable applications. The device contains two synchronous step-down DC/DC converters, a USB power controller, a full-featured Li-Ion battery charger, a Hot Swap output, a low-battery indicator, and numerous internal protection features. The LTC3455 provides a small, simple solution for obtaining power from three different power sources: a single-cell Li-Ion battery, a USB port, and a wall adapter. Current drawn from the USB bus is accurately limited under all conditions. Whenever a USB or a wall adapter is present, the battery charger is enabled and all internal power for the device is drawn from the appropriate external power source. All outputs are dis­charged to ground during shutdown to provide complete output disconnect. The device is available in a 4mm × 4mm 24-pin exposed-pad QFN package.

I
= 1000 • 1.23V / R
BAT
In all modes the voltage on the PROG pin can be used to measure charge current. PROG has a weak pull-up current source to turn the charger off if the pin is left open.
TIMER (Pin 3): Timer Capacitor Pin. Connect a capacitor, C cycle termination time. The timer starts when USB or wall power is first present. The timer period is:
Tie TIMER to ground to disable just the internal timer function. Tie TIMER to V constant-current-only mode (which disables the timer, voltage amplifier and trickle charge function).
CHRG (Pin 4): Open-Drain Charge Status Pin. This pin is pulled low with an internal N-channel MOSFET whenever the battery charger is enabled, and is forced into a high impedance state whenever it is disabled.
USBHP (Pin 5): USB High Power Mode Pin. This pin is used to select the appropriate USB current limit (either 500mA or 100mA). Pull high to select 500mA (high power mode); low to select 100mA (low power mode).
SUSPEND (Pin 6): USB Suspend Pin. When this pin is pulled high, the internal USB power controller is disabled and the USB pin current reduces to less than 20µA.
SW1 (Pin 7): Switch Pin for Switcher 1. Minimize the length of the metal trace connected to this pin. Place the inductor for Switcher 1 as close to this pin as possible.
USB (Pin 8): USB Supply Pin. Input current into this pin is limited to either 100mA or 500mA based on the state of the USBHP pin. The charger and Switcher 1 will remain alive whenever USB power is present (when USB pin is above
3.9V and SUSPEND is low).

the two internal step-down DC/DC converters and is provided externally to power other devices (i.e. LDOs or Switchers for LCD bias, white LED backlight drive, etc). When the LTC3455 is on and neither USB or wall power are available, an internal PMOS switch connects this pin to the V
pin. When either USB or wall power is present, they
BAT
provide power to this pin, and the battery charger draws power from this pin. In shutdown, this pin is discharged to ground to provide output disconnect.
WALLFB (Pin 11): Wall Power Detection Pin. This pin is the input to a comparator used to signal the presence of a 5V wall adapter. A resistor divider taken from the wall adapter input is connected to this pin to tell the LTC3455 when the adapter voltage is high enough to provide power to the LTC3455. When this pin is higher than 1.23V, the battery charger is enabled. The 5V wall adapter is con­nected to the V WALLFB to ground if a wall adapter is not used.
SW2 (Pin 12): Switch Pin for Switcher 2. Minimize the length of the metal trace connected to this pin. Place the inductor for Switcher 2 as close to this pin as possible.
HSI (Pin 13): Hot Swap Input Pin. This pin is connected to the HSO pin through a current-limited PMOS switch.
HSO (Pin 14): Hot Swap Output Pin. This output is used for memory cards or other devices that would appear as a short if they were hot-plugged directly to one of the outputs (typically the 3.3V output). The current out of this pin is limited to 160mA.
HSON (Pin 15): Hot Swap Enable Pin. This pin turns on the PMOS that connects the HSI and HSO pins.
AI (Pin 16): Gain Block Input Pin. This pin is the inverting input to an amplifier that can be used as a low-battery detector or as an LDO with the addition of an external PNP or PMOS. The non-inverting input of the gain block is connected to the 0.8V internal reference.
AO (Pin 17): Gain Block Output Pin. This pin is an open­drain output, and is pulled low when the AI pin is less than 800mV. This output can be used as a low-battery detector, or as an LDO with the addition of an external PNP or PMOS. This pin can sink up to 1mA.

FB2 (Pin 18): Feedback Pin for Switcher 2. Set the output voltage by connecting feedback resistors to this pin.
ON2 (Pin 19): Enable Pin for Switcher 2. This pin turns on Switcher 2 only if ON is low or PWRON is high. Switcher 2 cannot be turned on by itself.
RST (Pin 20): Reset Pin. This pin is an open-drain output that provides a 200ms reset signal during power-up to initialize a microcontroller.
MODE (Pin 21): Burst Mode Enable Pin. Tie this pin high to allow Burst Mode operation for the LTC3455. Burst Mode operation will provide superior efficiency when both outputs are operating with very low output currents. Tie this pin to ground to force PWM operation under all load current conditions. Burst Mode is disabled initially at startup (for 200ms) and also whenever external power is available (even if MODE is pulled high).
PWRON (Pin 22): Power-On Pin. Pull this pin high to turn on the LTC3455. This pin is typically used in conjunction
with the ON and PTSTAT pins, and a momentary-on switch. Tie PWRON to ground if not used.
PBSTAT (Pin 23): Push-Button Status Pin. This pin is an open drain output that indicates the state of the ON pin (which is usually connected to a momentary-on push­button) to the microcontroller. This pin follows the state of the ON pin (PBSTAT goes low when ON is pulled low).
ON (Pin 24): ON Pin. Pull this pin to ground to turn on the LTC3455. This pin is typically used with a momentary-on push-button switch to turn on the LTC3455. This pin would be held low until the PWRON pin is pulled high by a microcontroller to keep the LTC3455 turned on. If a momentary-on switch is not used, this pin can be held to ground to keep on the LTC3455. Leave ON open if not used. This pin has a weak pull-up current source.
GND (Pin 25 – Exposed Pad): Ground Pin. The exposed backside pad is the only ground pin for the LTC3455 and must be soldered to the PC board ground plane for the device to operate properly.

The LTC3455 is designed to be a complete power manage­ment solution for a wide variety of portable systems.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If no external power is present, the LTC3455 will start only if the battery voltage is above 3.0V. This prevents starting up with a battery that is too close to deep discharge. Once started, the battery must drop below 2.6V before the LTC3455 will shut off. This hysteresis is set intentionally large to prevent the LTC3455 from turning off at an inappropriate time, like during the read- or write-cycle of a hard-disk drive (which could potentially damage the drive). The internal UVLO is meant only as a last chance safety measure to prevent running the battery voltage too low and damaging it. An accurate, user-settable low­battery threshold can be implemented using the gain block (see the “Gain Block” section for details) which gives the microcontroller complete control over the timing of a shutdown due to a low-battery condition.
seamlessly transitions from battery power (a single-cell Li-Ion cell) to either the USB supply or a wall adapter. The battery PMOS switch is turned off, the charger is activated and all internal power for the device is drawn from the appropriate external power source. Maximum charge cur­rent and charge time are programmed using an external resistor and capacitor, respectively. The USB power man­ager provides accurate current limiting for the USB pin under all conditions. The Hot Swap output is ideal for powering memory cards and other devices that can be inserted while the system is fully powered.
Whenever the WALLFB pin is above 1.23V, system power is drawn from the wall adapter via the V battery charger is active. The 5V wall adapter output is connected to the V a resistor divider from the 5V wall input is connected to the WALLFB pin to signal the LTC3455 that wall power is present.

If USB power is present and above 3.9V (and wall power is not available), system power is drawn from the USB pin. The battery charger is active, but charge current will be held off until the USB pin increases above 4.0V to prevent the battery charger from further loading down an already low USB supply.

Operation When No Battery Is Present
As long as USB or wall power is available, the LTC3455 will operate with no battery present, a crucial requirement for systems with a removable battery. Keep in mind, however, that if the LTC3455 is USB powered and the battery is not present, absence of the battery means that there is no reservoir if the system needs more power than the USB port can supply. Similarly, if external power is available, the LTC3455 will operate even if the battery is bad or in deep-discharge.
The LTC3455 is also a good choice for systems that are always powered by a USB supply or wall adapter. The charger can then be used to charge a large capacitor or backup battery, which can briefly provide power to the system after the external power has been removed. This gives the microcontroller enough time to follow proper shutdown procedures even after the main power source is abruptly removed. If USB powered, the large capacitor or backup battery will also be used to provide additional current if the system briefly needs more power than the USB bus can provide.
Concerns When Wall Adapter Powered
desirable, but it is not necessarily an easy task. As the performance of digital cameras, handheld computers, and MP3 players increases, the power needed to operate them also increases. The power available from a single USB port (maximum 2.5W) is barely enough to support the peak power needed by many full-featured portable devices, even without the power needed to quickly charge their batteries.
To further complicate matters, a USB port is not the ideal power source. Each device can draw a maximum of 500mA (in high power mode), but the voltage provided to the portable device can vary quite significantly. Although a USB power supply has a 5V nominal rating, when you include normal supply variations, cable losses, and tran­sient conditions, the USB voltage showing up at the portable device is typically much lower—often falling to only 4V. Since the USB port has a strict current limit of 500mA, this means the amount of power available to the portable device can be as low as 2W. The reduced USB voltage also presents problems when trying to fully charge a single-cell Lithium-Ion battery (that has a 4.2V final charge voltage) when the USB voltage may itself be below or near 4.2V.
Always choose a wall adapter that can provide power for all load and battery charging requirements. Choosing a wall adapter with a power rating that is too small will result in very long charge times and erratic system operation. If the total current needed (load and battery charging) ex­ceeds what the adapter can provide, the voltage on the V
pin will begin to droop. If it droops close enough to

the battery voltage (the V decreases and eventually reduces to zero. If the load current is still too much for the wall adapter to provide, the wall adapter will provide what it can and the battery will provide the rest. When wall powered, this operation is intended only for surviving fault conditions and should not be a normal mode of operation.

The LTC3455 is specifically designed to alleviate these problems and make the most of the power the USB port has to offer. See the sections entitled ”Large Transient Loads when USB powered” and ”Special Charger Features when USB powered” for more detailed discussions of the LTC3455’s special USB features.
USB High Power/Low Power/Suspend Modes
There are three basic modes for the USB power manager: high power, low power, and suspend. High power mode allows the LTC3455 to draw up to 500mA from the USB port, and is selected by pulling the USBHP pin high. Low power mode reduces the allowable current drawn to 100mA, and is selected by pulling the USBHP pin low. The USBHP pin has a weak internal pulldown current source to ensure that the LTC3455 always starts up in USB low power mode. The SUSPEND pin will disable the USB power manager completely, reducing the USB pin current to under 20µA.

Operation in USB Low Power Mode
Most applications that draw power from the USB bus should be in low power mode only for a brief amount of time. All devices must be in low power mode (draw no more than 100mA of current from the USB bus) upon power-up, and can transition to high power mode (draw up to 500mA from the USB bus) only after the device has been given permission to do so by the USB host controller. The change to high power mode is usually very quick, so the full 500mA of current is available shortly after connect­ing to the USB bus. While the LTC3455 will operate when in low power mode, the amount of power available is so small that it is difficult or impossible to charge a battery or even provide enough current to power the rest of the system. For this reason, USB high power operation should always be used with the LTC3455.
Handling Large Transient Loads when USB Powered
Many portable devices have nominal loads that can easily be supported by the USB supply, but they have brief transient loads that can exceed the maximum available USB power. The LTC3455 is designed to handle these overloads while drawing as much power as possible from the USB port. If the USB bus is providing power but the LTC3455 (or any other devices connected to the V needs more total power than the USB bus can supply, the battery charger turns off completely and the USB power controller becomes a 500mA (or 100mA) current source and the V capacitance connected to the V

Startup and Shutdown when Battery-Powered
When only battery power is available, the LTC3455 turns on when either the ON pin is pulled low or the PWRON pin is pulled high. Either of these pins will keep the device running, but typically the ON and PWRON pins are used together to provide turn-on and turn-off using a single momentary-on push-button switch. Figure 2 shows the method for using a momentary-on pushbutton to turn the LTC3455 off and on.
When the momentary-on switch is first pressed, shorting the ON pin to ground, PBSTAT goes low and the LTC3455 first brings up the V
pin, then enables Switcher 1 to

power the microcontroller. Once up and running, the microcontroller provides the PWRON signal to keep the LTC3455 turned on after the push-button is released. When the push-button is pressed again to turn off the device, the PBSTAT pin is pulled low to notify the micro­controller that the push-button has been pressed. The microcontroller prepares for shutdown then pulls the PWRON signal low. When the push-button is released, the ON pin goes high and the LTC3455 turns off. The ON and PWRON pins enable Switcher 1 (along with all the internal circuits needed for normal operation), and the ON2 pin enables Switcher 2. Switcher 2 can only operate when Switcher 1 is also enabled. The turn-on of both switchers is always delayed until the V

Startup and Shutdown When USB or Wall Powered
Whenever USB or wall power is present (as sensed by the USB and WALLFB pins), Switcher 1 and the battery charger will always be enabled. If the LTC3455 is off and external power is applied, both the charger and Switcher 1 will start independent of the state of the ON and PWRON pins. This provides maximum battery run-time by always allowing the battery to charge whenever external power is available, and ensures that the microcontroller is always alive when external power is available (this is important for designs that utilize coulomb-counting or other battery monitoring techniques). Switcher 2 starts only if ON2 is also pulled high. Figure 3 shows the turn-on logic diagram for the LTC3455.
Starting Switcher 2/Power Supply Sequencing
Switcher 2 can operate only when Switcher 1 is also enabled and in regulation. The ON2 pin can be driven by a logic signal for independent control of Switcher 2. If both outputs always operate together, tie the ON2 pin to the V
pin. This will enable Switcher 2 after the output of

A 200ms reset signal (the RST pin is pulled low) is provided for proper initialization of a microcontroller when­ever the LTC3455 is first turned on, either by the ON or PWRON pins, or by the application of external power. The RST signal is also pulled low whenever the LTC3455 is in shutdown, ensuring no false starts for the microcontroller as the output voltages are rising or collapsing. In the event of a fault condition the RST pin will be pulled low.

Low or Bad Battery Protection (200ms Timeout)
The 200ms reset timer is also used to prevent starting the LTC3455 when there is insufficient external power or insufficient battery voltage to regulate the outputs. When first turned on, the internal 200ms timer starts. If only Switcher 1 is enabled (ON2 is low) and its output does not reach 90% of its final value within 200ms, Switcher 1 is shut down even if the ON pin is held low or if the PWRON pin is held high (the V is low or PWRON is high). This automatic shutdown feature prevents possible damage to a defective or overdischarged Li-Ion battery. If ON2 is tied to V that Switcher 2 is also turned on at startup, then both outputs must reach 90% of their final values within 200ms. Once the output(s) are in regulation, the timer is reset for a full 200ms.

Switching Regulator General Information
When a 5V wall adapter is used, power is provided to the V
pin through a Schottky diode. The most important
MAX
specification in picking this diode is its reverse leakage current. When the LTC3455 is turned on but wall power is not present, the Schottky will leak current to ground through the WALLFB resistor divider (see Figure 5). This leakage current should be minimized (by picking an appro­priate low-leakage Schottky diode) as it can dramatically reduce Burst Mode efficiency at light loads. In addition, a high leakage current can also false trip the WALLFB pin and turn on the LTC3455 even if wall power is not available. To help prevent this false turn-on, use the WALLFB resistor values shown in Figure 5.
The diode forward voltage drop should be around 500mV or less at its maximum rated current to allow charging even when the wall adapter voltage is lower than normal. Some manufacturers have recently introduced Schottky diodes optimized for a very low forward drop, but their reverse leakage currents can be more than 100µ A at room temperature, and over 1mA at high temperatures. These diodes are not recommended for use with the LTC3455, but if they are used operation at high temperature should be checked thoroughly to avoid problems due to excessive diode leakage current.
The LTC3455 contains two 1.5MHz constant-frequency current mode switching regulators that operate with effi­ciencies up to 96%. Switcher 1 provides up to 400mA at
1.5V/1.8V (to power a microcontroller core), and Switcher 2 provides up to 600mA at 3V/3.3V (to power microcon­troller I/O, memory and other logic circuitry). Both con­verters support 100% duty cycle operation (low dropout mode) when the input voltage drops very close to the output voltage, and both are capable of operating in Burst Mode operation for highest efficiencies at light loads (Burst Mode operation is pin selectable). Switcher 2 has independent ON/OFF control, but operates only when Switcher 1 is also enabled and in regulation. If both are enabled at power-up, Switcher 2 is allowed to turn on only after Switcher 1 has reached 90% of its final value. This power-up delay ensures proper supply sequencing and reduces the peak battery current at startup. If the output of Switcher 1 drops to below 85% of its programmed output voltage, Switcher 2 will turn off. This ensures that any problems with the core supply will shut down the rest of the sytem.

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. To maximize effi­ciency, choose an inductor with a low DC resistance. Keep in mind that most 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.
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. Table 1 shows several inductors that work well with the LTC3455. 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.
Switching Regulator Output Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capaci­tors should be used at both switching regulator outputs. 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 10µ F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult each manufacturer for detailed information on their entire selection of ceramic capacitors. Many manu­facturers now offer very thin (<1mm tall) ceramic capaci­tors ideal for use in height-restricted designs.

USB Pin and Wall Adapter Capacitor Selection
Caution must be exercised when using ceramic capacitors to bypass the USB pin or the wall adapter input. High voltage transients can be generated when the USB or wall adapter is hot plugged. When power is supplied via the USB bus or wall adapter, the cable inductance along with the self resonant and high Q characteristics of ceramic capacitors can cause substantial ringing which can easily exceed the maximum voltage pin ratings and damage the LTC3455. Refer to Linear Technology Application Note 88, entitled “Ceramic Input Capacitors Can Cause Overvoltage Transients” for a detailed discussion of this problem. The long cable lengths of most wall adapters and USB cables makes them especially susceptible to this problem. Even if this ringing is not large enough to damage the part, it can couple to the V outputs) and be mistaken as loop instability. To bypass the USB pin and the wall adapter input, add a 1 resistor in series with a ceramic capacitor to lower the effective Q of the network and greatly reduce the ringing. A tantalum, OS-CON, or electrolytic capacitor can be used in place of the ceramic and resistor, as their higher ESR reduces the Q, thus reducing the voltage ringing. Use 4.7µ F to 10µ F for the USB pin, and 1µF or larger for the wall adapter input.

Burst Mode™ Operation
For highest efficiencies at light loads, both DC/DC convert­ers are capable of operating in Burst Mode. In this mode, energy is delivered to the outputs in shorts bursts, which minimizes switching losses and quiescent-current losses. Output voltage ripple is slightly higher in this mode, but efficiency is greatly improved. As shown in Figure 7, the efficiency at low load currents increases significantly when Burst Mode operation is used.

Mode operation. Even when the MODE pin is high, the LTC3455 will only enter Burst Mode when the load current is low. For many noise-sensitive systems, Burst Mode operation might be undesirable at certain times (i.e. during a transmit or receive cycle of a wireless device), but highly desirable at others (i.e. when the device is in low-power standby mode). The MODE pin can be used to enable or disable Burst Mode operation at any time, offering both low-noise and low-power operation when they are needed the most. Burst Mode is disabled initially at startup (for the first 200ms) and also whenever external power is avail­able, even if the MODE pin is pulled high.

Soft-Start for each Switcher
Soft-start is accomplished by gradually increasing the peak inductor current for each switcher. This allows each output to rise slowly, helping minimize the battery in-rush current. Figure 9 shows the battery current during startup. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever each switcher first turns on, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal shutdown or UVLO).

In-Rush Current Limiting
When the LTC3455 is battery-powered, an internal 0.15 PMOS switch connects the battery (V
pin) to the V

pin to provide power for both switchers and other internal circuitry. This PMOS switch is turned off in shutdown, and the V
pin discharges to ground, providing output

pin to the

battery voltage. To minimize the in-rush current needed from the battery, the PMOS switch is current-limited to 900mA and both switchers are disabled while the V voltage is ramping up. Once V
reaches the battery

voltage, the PMOS current-limit increases to 4A and both switchers are allowed to turn on. Figure 9 shows the startup battery current for the LTC3455, which stays well­controlled while V

Battery Charger General Information
The battery charger and Switcher 1 will always be enabled whenever USB or wall power is present (as sensed by the USB and WALLFB pins). This ensures that the battery can be charged and that the microcontroller is alive whenever external power is available. For some applications, it may be undesirable for the charger to become active immedi­ately when external power is applied. For such applica­tions, an NMOS switch can be used to disconnect the R
resistor and allow the PROG pin to float high,

turning off the charger. In this manner, charging occurs only when allowed by the microcontroller.

The LTC3455 battery charger is a constant-current, con­stant-voltage charger. In constant-current mode, the maxi­mum charge current is set by a single external resistor. When the battery approaches the final float voltage, the charge current begins to decrease as the charger switches to constant-voltage mode. The charge cycle is terminated only by the charge timer.

Charge and Recharge Cycles
When external power is first applied, a new charge cycle is always initiated. The battery will continue charging until the programmed charge time is reached. If the battery voltage is below 4.05V at the end of this cycle, the LTC3455 will start a new charge cycle. This action will continue until the battery voltage exceeds the 4.05V thresh­old. This operation is typically seen only when charging from USB power. Because the charge current can vary dramatically when the LTC3455 is USB powered, it takes considerably longer to charge a battery using the USB supply (as compared to a wall adapter). If the timer capacitor is chosen correctly, the battery should be fully charged on one cycle when wall power is available.
If the battery is above the 4.05V threshold when a charge cycle has expired, charging will stop. At this point, a recharge cycle is initiated if any of the following occurs: The battery voltage drops below 4.05V, external power is removed and reapplied, the PROG pin is floated tempo­rarily, or the SUSPEND pin is temporarily pulled high (if the LTC3455 is under USB power).
Programming Charge Current
The maximum charge current is programmed using one external resistor connected between the PROG pin and GND (use the closest 1% resistor value):
Capacitance on the PROG pin should be minimized to ensure loop stability when in constant-current mode. Do not place a capacitor directly from the PROG pin to ground. Adding an external R-C network (see Figure 10) allows the monitoring of average, rather than instantaneous, battery charge current. Average charge current is typically of more interest to the user, especially when the LTC3455 is USB powered, as the battery charge current varies signifi­cantly with normal load transients.

If the battery voltage is below 2.85V at the beginning of the charge cycle, the charger goes into trickle charge mode, reducing the charge current to 10% of its programmed full-scale value. If the low battery voltage remains for one quarter of the programmed total charge time, the battery is assumed to be defective, the charge cycle is terminated, and the CHRG pin goes to a high impedance state. This fault is cleared if any of the following occurs: The battery voltage rises above 2.85V, external power is removed and reapplied, the PROG pin is floated temporarily, or the SUSPEND pin is temporarily pulled high (if the LTC3455 is under USB power). The device will still operate normally from USB or wall power even if the charger has turned off due to a trickle-charge timeout.

Battery Charger Thermal Limit
An internal thermal limit reduces the charge current if the die temperature attempts to rise above approximately 105°C. This protects the LTC3455 from excessive tem­perature, and allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability of a given circuit board without risk of damaging the LTC3455. Another benefit of the thermal limit is that charge current can be set according to typical, not worst-case, ambient temperatures for a given application with the assurance that the charger will auto­matically reduce the current under worst-case conditions.
CHRG Status Output
The CHRG pin is pulled low with an internal N-channel MOSFET whenever the battery charger is enabled, and is forced into a high impedance state whenever it is disabled. This NMOS device is capable of driving an external LED. This pin does not provide any C/10 information.
As the USB voltage drops below 4.5V, the charge current gradually reduces (and eventually shuts off around 4V). This helps prevent “chattering” and stability problems when using long, resistive USB cables. Figure 12 shows this reduction in charge current.
Figure 12. Charge Current vs USB Voltage
Special Charger Features while USB Powered
The LTC3455 has several special features that help make the most of the power available from the USB power supply. The internal USB power controller automatically throttles back the battery charge current to help keep the total system current under the strict 500mA/100mA USB limit. The graph in Figure 11 shows how charge current, I
, decreases as the current needed for the rest of the
BAT
system increases (both switchers and all other external devices pull current from the V current, I
pin). The total USB

Because the charge current can vary dramatically when the LTC3455 is USB powered, battery charging can take considerably longer using the USB supply (as compared to a wall adapter).
Constant-Current-Only Charger/Disabling the Charger␣ Timer
To use the charger in a constant-current-only mode, connect the TIMER pin to V
to disable the timer,
MAX
voltage amplifier, and trickle charge function. To disable only the timer function and leave all others intact, connect the TIMER pin to GND. Since the charge cycle is termi­nated only by the charge timer, external charge termina­tion is required when using either of these methods. Use an external NMOS to float the PROG pin and disable charging.
Constant-current-only mode is a good choice for systems that are always powered by a USB supply or wall adapter, and the charger can be used to charge a super-cap or backup battery. Disabling the voltage amplifier allows the super-cap/backup battery to charge up fully to the avail­able USB or wall adapter voltage.

Hot Swap Output
A current limited Hot Swap output is provided for power­ing memory cards or other external devices that can be hot-plugged into the system. Typically connected to the
3.3V supply, this output provides isolation to prevent the external device from disturbing the 3.3V supply when inserted. The Hot Swap output can only operate when the LTC3455 is on, and is enabled using the HSON pin. If this hot-plugging protection is not needed, this output can be used as a load switch for other devices within the system. The HSO pin is discharged to ground when the LTC3455 is shut down.
Gain Block
The LTC3455 contains a gain block (pins AI and AO) that can be used as either a low-battery indicator, or as an LDO with the addition of an external PNP. Both circuits are shown in Figure 13. The LDO is convenient for applications needing a third output (possibly a low current 2.5V or a quiet 3V supply). The AO pin can sink around 1mA, which typically limits the LDO current to 100mA or less (due to the current gain of the PNP). An external PMOS can be used for the LDO, but a much larger output capacitor is needed to ensure stability at light loads.
The gain block is alive whenever switcher 1 is enabled, and is turned off during shutdown to minimize battery drain. This means that the low-battery detector will not report a low-battery condition until the LTC3455 is turned on. This
Figure 13. Low-Battery Detector and LDO Using the Gain Block
is not a problem for most applications since the LTC3455 usually powers the microcontroller and all other intelli­gence in the system.
PCB Layout Considerations
As with all DC/DC converters, careful attention must be paid to the printed circuit board (PCB) layout and compo­nent placement. The V
capacitor, V
BAT
capacitor, and
MAX
both inductors must all be placed as close as possible to the LTC3455. These components, along with both DC/DC converter output capacitors, should be placed on the same side of the circuit board as the LTC3455, with their connections made on that top layer. Place a local, unbro­ken ground plane below these components that is tied to the exposed pad of the LTC3455. The exposed pad (pin 25) must be soldered to the PCB (to system ground) for proper operation.
TYPICAL APPLICATIO S
Standalone USB Power Supply with Temporary Backup Power
Although designed primarily for Li-Ion powered portable applications, the LTC3455 is also a good choice for systems that are always powered by a USB supply or wall adapter. The battery charger can then be used to charge up a large capacitor or backup battery, which briefly provides power to the system after the external power has been removed. This gives the microcontroller enough time to
follow proper shutdown procedures when the main power source is abruptly removed. Figure 14 shows a standalone power supply for USB high power applications (500mA maximum USB current) using the LTC3455. The total system power should be kept below 1.8W to ensure clean operation even under worst-case USB conditions. With the resistor values shown, the low-battery indicator (AI and AO pins) triggers when the V
pin voltage drops to

pin briefly provides power to the system after the USB supply has been removed, and also helps support tran­sient loads that slightly exceed the USB current limit. Connecting this large capacitance to the V

BAT
several advantages. It provides a large energy reservoir that is isolated from both the USB pin (the USB specifica­tion limits capacitance on the USB supply pin to 10µF or less) and the V
pin (using a very large capacitance on
MAX
this pin will delay the system turn-on), and it prevents large inrush currents by using the battery charger to slowly charge this capacitor (normally using such a large capacitor would result in very large inrush currents). With the TIMER pin tied to V
, the battery charger operates
MAX
in constant-current mode (the voltage-loop and timer function are disabled), so the 4700µ F capacitor is always fully charged to the available USB voltage.
Increasing 3.3V Output Current to 1.2A
With an internal current limit of 900mA, Switcher 2 typi­cally provides a 3.3V, 600mA output. While this output current is sufficient for many portable devices, some applications need a 3.3V supply capable of providing more than 1A. Figure 15 shows how to implement a higher current 3.3V output using the LTC3455. By adding one tiny SOT23 PMOS and using the AI/AO amplifier as an LDO, the
3.3V output now provides 1.2A of output current. Switcher 2 is programmed for an output voltage of 3.3V, and the LDO is programmed for an output voltage of 3.2V (3% lower). As long as the load current is low enough for Switcher 2 to provide, the LDO is turned off completely. This circuit is ideal for applications that need the higher
3.3V output current for only a brief time. Switcher 2 will normally provide all of the output current, and the LDO will turn on briefly to provide the higher load currents.
22
3455f
TYPICAL APPLICATIO S
When the load current exceeds what Switcher 2 can provide, the 3.3V output droops slightly and the LDO provides the additional current needed. Figure 16 shows the transient response when the 3.3V output current is stepped from 0.5A to 1.2A. More output capacitance can be added to improve the 3.3V transient response during these high current load steps.
