FEATURES DESCRIPTION
2-Cell Supercapacitor
Charger with Backup
PowerPath Controller
The LTC
®
3226 is a 2-cell series supercapacitor charger with
a backup PowerPath controller. It includes a charge pump
supercapacitor charger with programmable output voltage,
a low dropout regulator, and a power-fail comparator for
switching between normal and backup modes.
The constant input current supercapacitor charger is
designed to charge two supercapacitors in series to a
resistor-programmable output voltage from a 2.5V to 5.3V
input supply. The charger input current limit is program-
mable by an external resistor at up to 315mA.
The internal backup LDO is powered from the superca-
pacitors and provides up to 2A peak output current with
an adjustable output voltage. When the input supply falls
below the power-fail threshold, the LTC3226 automatically
enters a backup state in which the supercapacitors power
the output through the LDO. The input supply power-fail
voltage level is programmed by an external resistor divider.
Low input noise, low quiescent current and a compact
footprint make the LTC3226 ideally suited for small, battery-
powered applications. Internal current limit and thermal
shutdown circuitry allow the device to survive a continu-
ous short-circuit from the PROG or CPO pins to ground.
