LTC3553 PIN FUNCTIONS HPWR (Pin 1): High Power Logic Input. When this pin is low the input current limit is set to 100mA and when this pin is driven high it is set to 500mA. The SUSP pin needs to be low for the input current limit circuit to be enabled. This pin has a conditional internal pull-down resistor when power is applied to the VBUS pin. LDO_FB (Pin 9): Feedback Input for the Low Dropout Regulator. This pin servos to a fixed voltage of 0.8V when the control loop is complete.
LTC3553 PIN FUNCTIONS BAT (Pin 17): Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Pin. Depending on available power and load, a Li-Ion battery on BAT will either deliver system power to VOUT through the ideal diode or be charged from the battery charger. VOUT (Pin 18): Output Voltage of the PowerPath Controller and Input Voltage of the Battery Charger. The majority of the portable products should be powered from VOUT.

LTC3553 OPERATION Introduction The LTC3553 is a highly integrated power management IC that includes the following features: The buck regulator operates at 1.125MHz. Both regulators include a low power standby mode which can be used to power essential keep-alive circuitry while draining ultralow current from the battery for extended battery life.
LTC3553 OPERATION MOSFET whenever the voltage at VOUT is approximately 15mV (VFWD) below the voltage at BAT. The resistance of the internal ideal diode is approximately 240mΩ. Suspend Mode When the SUSP pin is pulled high the LTC3553 enters suspend mode to comply with the USB specification. In this mode, the power path between VBUS and VOUT is put in a high impedance state to reduce the VBUS input current to 15μA. The system load connected to VOUT is supplied through the ideal diode connected to BAT.
LTC3553 OPERATION In either the constant-current or constant-voltage charging modes, the PROG pin voltage 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: to excess load on the VOUT pin. This prevents false end of charge indications due to insufficient power available to the battery charger.
LTC3553 OPERATION NTC Thermistor Alternate NTC Thermistors and Biasing 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 VBUS to NTC, as shown in Figure 1. RNOM should be a 1% resistor with a value equal to the value of the chosen NTC thermistor at 25°C (R25).
LTC3553 OPERATION 20 VBUS 0.76 • VBUS (NTC RISING) RNOM 105k – TOO_COLD 15 NTC + R1 12.7k RNTC 100k TOO_HOT + + NTC_ENABLE 0.017 • VBUS (NTC FALLING) r HOT • R25 0.538 r R NOM = COLD • R25 3.17 where rHOT and rCOLD are the resistance ratios at the desired hot and cold trip points. Note that these equations are linked. Therefore, only one of the two trip points can be independently set, the other is determined by the default ratios designed in the IC. R NOM = – 0.
LTC3553 OPERATION BUCK REGULATOR Introduction The LTC3553 includes a constant-frequency currentmode 200mA buck regulator. At light loads, the regulator automatically enters Burst Mode operation to maintain high efficiency. Applications with a near-zero-current sleep or memory keep-alive mode can command the LTC3553 buck regulator into a standby mode that maintains output regulation while drawing only 1.5μA quiescent current. Load capability drops to 10mA in this mode.
LTC3553 OPERATION the power switches enough times to charge the output capacitor to a voltage slightly higher than the regulation point. The buck then goes into a reduced quiescent current sleep mode. In this state, power loss is minimized while the load current is supplied by the output capacitor. Whenever the output voltage drops below a predetermined value, the buck wakes from sleep and cycles the switches again until the output capacitor voltage is once again slightly above the regulation point.
LTC3553 OPERATION Inductor value should be chosen based on the desired output voltage. See Table 1. Table 3 shows several inductors that work well with the step-down switching buck regulator. 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. Larger value inductors reduce ripple current, which improves output ripple voltage.
LTC3553 OPERATION The switching regulator input supply should be bypassed with a 2.2μF capacitor. Consult with capacitor manufacturers for detailed information on their selection and specifications of ceramic capacitors. Many manufacturers now offer very thin (<1mm tall) ceramic capacitors ideal for use in height-restricted designs. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Output Voltage Programming Figure 4 shows the LDO regulator application circuit.
LTC3553 OPERATION regulator, the LDO’s load capability remains unchanged. However, the LDO’s transient response is slowed, as illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6. measures should be taken to ensure that the buck is not operated outside the specified BVIN input supply range, as operation beyond this range is not guaranteed. LDO Regulator UVLO Considerations The LDO regulator’s bias current is supplied via an internal connection to the USB PowerPath VOUT pin.
LTC3553 OPERATION after entering the PDN1 state the pushbutton circuitry will transition into the hard reset (HR) state. In the HR state, all supplies are disabled. The PowerPath circuitry is placed in an ultralow quiescent state to minimize battery drain. If no external charging supply is present (VBUS) then the ideal diode is shut down, disconnecting VOUT from BAT to further minimize battery drain.
LTC3553 OPERATION PBSTAT to go low. PBSTAT goes high impedance when ON goes high, except the logic enforces a minimum pulse width of 50ms on PBSTAT. In the HR, POFF, PDN1, and PDN2 states, PBSTAT remains high impedance regardless of the state of ON. Power-Up Via Pushbutton Press Figure 8 shows the LTC3553 powering up through application of the external pushbutton. For this example the pushbutton circuitry starts in the POFF or HR state with a battery connected and both regulators disabled.
LTC3553 OPERATION BUCK_ON or LDO_ON is low or goes low after the five second period the corresponding regulator(s) will be shut down. In the above example both pins are high at the end of the five second period and therefore both regulators continue to stay on at the end of the five second period. The BUCK_ON and LDO_ON inputs can be driven via a μP/μC or one of the regulator outputs through a high impedance (100kΩ typ) to keep the regulators enabled as described above.
LTC3553 OPERATION Power-Down by De-Asserting Both BUCK_ON and LDO_ON with a valid external supply (VBUS) with or without a battery present. Figure 11 shows the LTC3553 powering down by μC/μP control. For this example the pushbutton circuitry starts in the PON state with a battery connected and both regulators enabled. The user presses the pushbutton (ON low) for at least 50ms, which generates a debounced, low impedance pulse on the PBSTAT output.
LTC3553 OPERATION In the typical case where the BUCK_ON and LDO_ON pins are driven by logic powered by the regulators, the BUCK_ON and LDO_ON pins would also go low, as depicted in Figure 12. If the external supply recovers after entering the PDN2 state such that VOUT is no longer in UVLO, then the LTC3553 will transition back into the PUP2 state once the PDN2 one second delay is complete.
LTC3553 OPERATION Power-Up Sequencing approximately 70°C/W. Failure to make good thermal contact between the Exposed Pad on the backside of the package and an adequately sized ground plane will result in thermal resistances far greater than 70°C/W. Figure 14 shows the actual power-up sequencing of the LTC3553 with the SEQ pin held low. The regulators are both initially disabled (0V). Once the pushbutton has been applied (ON low) for 400ms, the buck is enabled. The buck slews up and enters regulation.
LTC3553 OPERATION where VINLDO is the LDO input supply voltage, VLDO is the LDO regulated output voltage, and ILDO is the LDO load current. Thus the power dissipated by all regulators is: PD(REGS) = PD(BUCK) + PD(LDO) It is not necessary to perform any worst-case power dissipation scenarios because the LTC3553 will automatically reduce the charge current to maintain the die temperature at approximately 110°C.
