LTC3586/LTC3586-1 High Efficiency USB Power Manager with Boost, Buck-Boost and Dual Bucks DESCRIPTION
The LTC(R)3586/LTC3586-1 are highly integrated power management and battery charger ICs for Li-Ion/Polymer battery applications. They include a high efficiency current limited switching PowerPath manager with automatic load prioritization, battery charger, ideal diode, and four synchronous switching regulators (two bucks, one buckboost and one boost). Designed specifically for USB applications, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's switching power manager automatically limits input current to a maximum of either 100mA or 500mA for USB applications or 1A for adapter-powered applications. Unlike linear chargers, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 switching architecture transmits nearly all of the power available from the USB port to the load with minimal loss and heat which eases thermal constraints in small places. The two buck regulators can provide up to 400mA each, the buck-boost can deliver 1A, and the boost delivers at least 800mA. The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 are available in a low profile (0.75mm) 38-pin 4mm x 6mm 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 LTC3586E/LTC3586E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0C to 85C. Specifications over the -40C to 85C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note 3: The LTC3586E/LTC3586E-1 include overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125C 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: hC/10 is expressed as a fraction of measured full charge current with indicated PROG resistor. Note 7: FBx above regulation such that regulator is in sleep. Specification does not include resistive divider current reflected back to VINX. Note 8: Guaranteed by design.

LDO3V3 (Pin 3): 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 watch dog microprocessor or real time clock. A 1F capacitor is required from LDO3V3 to ground. If the LDO3V3 output is not used it should be disabled by connecting it to VOUT. CLPROG (Pin 4): USB Current Limit Program and Monitor Pin. A resistor from CLPROG to ground determines the upper limit of the current drawn from the VBUS pin. A fraction of the VBUS current is sent to the CLPROG pin when the synchronous switch of the PowerPath switching regulator is on. The switching regulator delivers power until the CLPROG pin reaches 1.188V. Several VBUS current limit settings are available via user input which will typically correspond to the 500mA and 100mA USB specifications. A multilayer ceramic averaging capacitor is required at CLPROG for filtering. NTC (Pin 5): Input to the Thermistor Monitoring Circuits. The NTC pin connects to a battery's thermistor 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 VBUS to NTC and a thermistor is required from NTC to ground. If the NTC function is not desired, the NTC pin should be grounded. VOUT4 (Pins 6, 7): Power Output for the (Boost) Switching Regulator 4. A 10F MLCC capacitor should be placed as close to the pins as possible.

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. CHRG (Pin 30): Open-Drain Charge Status Output. The CHRG pin indicates the status of the battery charger. Four possible states are represented by CHRG: charging, not charging, unresponsive battery and battery temperature out of range. 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 3. CHRG requires a pull-up resistor and/or LED to provide indication. GATE (Pin 31): Analog Output. This pin controls the gate of an optional external P-channel MOSFET transistor used to supplement the 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 FET is not used, GATE 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. EN4 (Pin 33): Digital Input. This input enables the boost switching regulator 4. V OUT (Pin 34): Output Voltage of the Switching PowerPath Controller and Input Voltage of the Battery Charger. The majority of the portable product should be powered from VOUT. The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 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. VOUT should be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capacitor. VBUS (Pins 35, 36): Primary Input Power Pin. These pins deliver power to VOUT via the SW pin by drawing controlled current from a DC source such as a USB port or wall adapter. SW (Pin 37): Power Transmission Pin for the USB Power Path.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Introduction The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 are highly integrated power management ICs which include a high efficiency switch mode PowerPath controller, a battery charger, an ideal diode, an always-on LDO, two 400mA buck switching regulators, a 1A buck-boost switching regulator, and an 800mA boost switching regulator. All of the regulators can be independently controlled via ENABLE pins. Designed specifically for USB applications, the PowerPath controller incorporates a precision average input current buck switching regulator to make maximum use of the allowable USB power. Because power is conserved, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 allow the load current on VOUT to exceed the current drawn by the USB port without exceeding the USB load specifications. The PowerPath switching regulator and battery charger communicate to ensure that the input current never violates the USB specifications. The ideal diode from BAT to VOUT guarantees that ample power is always available to VOUT even if there is insufficient or absent power at VBUS. 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 up to 20mA. Along with constant frequency PWM mode, the buck and the buck-boost switching regulators have a low power burst mode setting for significantly reduced quiescent current under light load conditions. High Efficiency Switching PowerPath Controller Whenever VBUS is available and the PowerPath switching regulator is enabled, power is delivered from VBUS to VOUT via SW. VOUT drives the combination of the external load (including switching regulators 1, 2, 3 and 4) and the battery charger. If the combined load does not exceed the PowerPath switching regulator's programmed input current limit, VOUT will track 0.3V above the battery (Bat-Track). By keeping the voltage across the battery charger low, efficiency is optimized because power lost to the linear battery charger is minimized. Power available to the external load is therefore optimized. If the combined load at VOUT is large enough to cause the switching PowerPath supply to reach the programmed input current limit, the battery charger will reduce its charge current by that amount necessary to enable the external load to be satisfied. Even if the battery charge current is set to exceed the allowable USB current, the USB specification will not be violated. The PowerPath switching regulator will limit the average input current so that the USB specification is never violated. Furthermore, load current at VOUT will always be prioritized and only excess available power will be used to charge the battery. If the voltage at BAT is below 3.3V, or the battery is not present, and the load requirement does not cause the PowerPath switching regulator to exceed the USB specification, VOUT will regulate at 3.6V, as shown in Figure 1. This "instant-on" feature will allow a portable product to run immediately when power is applied without waiting for the battery to charge. If the load exceeds 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 1. 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 as needed. This reduction ensures that load current and output voltages are always priortized while allowing as much battery charge current as possible. See Over-Programming the Battery Charger in Applications Information Section. The power delivered from VBUS to VOUT is controlled by a 2.25MHz constant-frequency buck switching regulator. To meet the USB maximum load specification, the switching regulator includes a control loop which ensures that the average input current is below the level programmed at CLPROG.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
The current at CLPROG is a fraction (hCLPROG-1) of the VBUS current. When a programming resistor and an averaging capacitor are connected from CLPROG to GND, the voltage on CLPROG represents the average input current of the PowerPath switching regulator. When the input current approaches the programmed limit, CLPROG reaches VCLPROG , 1.188V and power out is held constant. The input current limit is programmed by the ILIM0 and ILIM1 pins to limit average input current to one of several possible settings as well as be deactivated (USB Suspend). The input current limit will be set by the VCLPROG servo voltage and the resistor on CLPROG according to the following expression: IVBUS = IVBUSQ + VCLPROG * (hCLPROG + 1 ) RCLPROG 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. Furthermore, if power to VBUS (USB or wall power) is removed, then all of the application power will be provided by the battery via the ideal diode. The transition from input power to battery power at VOUT will be quick enough to allow only the10F capacitor to keep VOUT from drooping. The ideal diode consists of a precision amplifier that enables a large on-chip P-channel MOSFET transistor whenever the voltage at VOUT is approximately 15mV (VFWD) below the voltage at BAT. The resistance of the internal ideal diode is approximately 180m. If this is sufficient for the application, then no external components are necessary. However, if more conductance is needed, an external P-channel MOSFET transistor can be added from BAT to VOUT. See Figure 2. When an external P-channel MOSFET transistor is present, the GATE pin of the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 drive its gate 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 GATE pin can control an external P-channel MOSFET transistor having an on-resistance of 40m or lower.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Suspend LDO If the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 are configured for USB suspend mode, the 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). To remain compliant with the USB specification, the input to the LDO is current limited so that it will not exceed the 500A low 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. 3.3V Always-On Supply The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 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 1F 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. VBUS Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors VBUS and keeps the PowerPath 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 drops below 4.00V or to within 50mV of BAT. When this happens, system power at VOUT will be drawn from the battery via the ideal diode. Battery Charger The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 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.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Once the battery voltage is above 2.85V, the battery charger begins charging in full power constant-current mode. The current delivered to the battery will try to reach 1022V/ 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. 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 1.3ms. 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). Charge Current The charge current is programmed using a single resistor from PROG to ground. 1/1022th 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 1022 times the current in the PROG pin. The program resistor and the charge current are calculated using the following equations: RPROG = 1022V 1022V , ICHG = ICHG 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 * 1022 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. 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.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
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". 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 LTC3586/LTC3586-1 are in VBUS current limit. This prevents false end-of-charge indications due to insufficient power available to the battery charger. Table 3 illustrates the four possible states of the CHRG pin when the battery charger is active.
Table 3. CHRG Signal

Note that the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 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. 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 resistor, RNOM , from VBUS to the NTC pin. RNOM should be a 1% resistor with a value equal to the value of the chosen NTC thermistor at 25C (R25). A 100k thermistor is recommended since thermistor current is not measured by the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 and will have to be budgeted for USB compliance. The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 will pause charging when the resistance of the NTC thermistor drops to 0.54 times the value of R25 or approximately 54k. For Vishay "Curve 1" thermistor, this corresponds to approximately 40C. 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 LTC3586/ LTC3586-1 are also designed to pause charging when the value of the NTC thermistor increases to 3.25 times the value of R25. For Vishay "Curve 1" this resistance, 325k, corresponds to approximately 0C. The hot and cold comparators each have approximately 3C of hysteresis to prevent oscillation about the trip point. Grounding the NTC pin disables the NTC charge pausing function.
3586fa
An NTC fault is represented by a 35kHz pulse train whose duty cycle varies between 6.25% and 93.75% at a 1.5Hz rate. A human will easily recognize the 1.5Hz rate as a "slow" blinking which indicates the out-of-range battery temperature while a microprocessor will be able to decode either the 6.25% or 93.75% 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 battery fault indication. For this fault, a human would easily recognize the frantic 6.1Hz "fast" blink of the LED while a microprocessor would be able to decode either the 12.5% or 87.5% duty cycles as a bad battery fault.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Thermal Regulation To optimize charging time, an internal thermal feedback loop may automatically decrease the programmed charge current. This will occur if the die temperature rises to approximately 110C. Thermal regulation protects the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 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 without risk of damaging the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 or external components. The benefit of the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 thermal regulation loop is that charge current can be set according to actual conditions rather than worst-case conditions with the assurance that the battery charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case conditions. A flow chart of battery charger operation can be seen in Figure 4. Low Supply Operation The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 incorporate an undervoltage lockout circuit on VOUT which shuts down all four general purpose switching regulators when VOUT drops below VOUTUVLO. This UVLO prevents unstable operation. FAULT Pin FAULT is a bi-directional pin with an open-drain output used to indicate a fault condition on any of the general purpose regulators. If any of the four regulators are enabled, and their corresponding FB pin voltage does not rise to within 8% of the internal reference voltage (0.8V) within 14ms, a fault condition will be reported by FAULT going low. This, in turn, will disable all of the regulators. Alternatively, the regulators can be all disabled simultaneously by driving FAULT low externally. This fault condition can be cleared only if all of the ENABLE inputs are pulled low for at least 3.6s. Since FAULT is an open-drain output, it requires a pull-up resistor to the input voltage of the monitoring microprocessor or another appropriate power source such as LD03V3. If any of the ENABLE pins is tied high during start-up, the FAULT pin can erroneously report a fault condition. To avoid such an event, the ENABLE pins should be tied high through a lowpass filter (comprised of a 1k resistor and a 0.1F capacitor) to the same power source to which FAULT pin is pulled up. General Purpose Buck Switching Regulators The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 contain two 2.25MHz constantfrequency current mode buck switching regulators. Each buck regulator can provide up to 400mA of output current. Both buck regulators can be programmed for a minimum output voltage of 0.8V and can be used to power a microcontroller core, microcontroller I/O, memory, disk drive or other logic circuitry. Both buck converters 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. Two modes are available to control the operation of the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's buck regulators. At moderate to heavy loads, the pulseskip mode provides the least noise switching solution. At lighter loads, Burst Mode operation may be selected. The buck regulators include soft-start to limit inrush current when powering on, short-circuit current protection and switch node slew limiting circuitry to reduce radiated EMI. No external compensation components are required. The operating mode of the buck regulators can be set by the MODE pin. The buck converters can be individually enabled by the EN1 and EN2 pins. Both buck regulators have a fixed feedback servo voltage of 800mV. The buck regulator input supplies VIN1 and VIN2 will generally be connected to the system load pin VOUT. Buck Regulator Output Voltage Programming Both buck regulators can be programmed for output voltages greater than 0.8V. The output voltage for each buck regulator is programmed using a resistor divider from the buck regulator output connected to the feedback pins (FB1 and FB2) such that: R1 VOUTX = VFBX + 1 R2 where VFB is fixed at 0.8V and X = 1, 2. See Figure 4. Typical values for R1 are in the range of 40k to 1M. The capacitor CFB cancels the pole created by feedback resistors

At high duty cycles (VOUTx > VINx /2) it is possible for the inductor current to reverse, causing the buck regulator to operate continuously at light loads. This is normal and regulation is maintained, but the supply current will increase to several milliamperes due to continuous switching. In Burst Mode operation, the buck regulator automatically switches between fixed frequency PWM operation and hysteretic control as a function of the load current. At light loads, the buck regulators operate in hysteretic mode in which the output capacitor is charged to a voltage slightly higher than the regulation point. The buck converter 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, helping conserve battery power. When the output voltage drops below a predetermined value, the buck regulator circuitry is powered on and the normal PWM operation resumes. The duration for which the buck regulator operates in sleep mode depends on the load current. The sleep time decreases as the load current increases. Beyond a certain load current point (about 1/4 rated output load current) the step-down switching regulators will switch to a low noise constant frequency PWM mode of operation, much the same as pulse-skip operation at high loads. For applications that can tolerate some output ripple at low output currents, Burst Mode operation provides better efficiency than pulse skip at light loads while still providing the full specified output current of the buck regulator. The buck regulators allow mode transition on the fly, 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. Buck Regulator in Shutdown The buck regulators are in shutdown when not enabled for operation. In shutdown, all circuitry in the buck regulator is disconnected from the buck regulator input supply leaving only a few nanoamps of leakage current. The buck regulator outputs are individually pulled to ground through a 10k resistor on the switch pins (SW1 and SW2) when in shutdown.

and the input capacitance of the FBx pin and also helps 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. Buck Regulator Operating Modes The LTC3586/LTC3586-1's buck regulators include two possible operating modes to meet the noise/ power needs of a variety of applications. In pulse-skip 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, 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 (SW1, SW2) 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, the buck regulators will automatically skip pulses as needed to maintain output regulation.
21
LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Buck Regulator Dropout Operation It is possible for a buck 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 buck regulator's input voltage minus the voltage drops across the internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor. Buck Regulator Soft-Start Operation Soft-start is accomplished by gradually increasing the peak inductor current for each buck regulator over a 500s period. This allows each output to rise slowly, helping minimize the battery in-rush current. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever a given buck 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 modes. Buck Regulator Switching Slew Rate Control The buck regulators contain new patent pending circuitry to limit the slew rate of the switch node (SW1 and SW2). 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. BUCK-BOOST DC/DC SWITCHING REGULATOR The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 contain a 2.25MHz constantfrequency voltage-mode buck-boost switching regulator. The regulator provides up to 1A of output load current. The buck-boost can be programmed to a minimum output voltage of 2.5V and can be used to power a microcontroller core, microcontroller I/O, memory, disk drive, or other logic circuitry. The converter is enabled by pulling EN3 high. To suit a variety of applications, a selectable mode function allows the user to trade-off noise for efficiency. Two modes are available to control the operation of the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's buck-boost regulator. At moderate to heavy loads, the constant frequency PWM mode provides the least noise switching solution. At lighter loads Burst Mode operation may be selected. The output voltage is programmed by a user-supplied resistive divider returned to FB3. An error amplifier compares the divided output voltage with a reference and adjusts the compensation voltage accordingly until the FB3 pin has stabilized to the reference voltage (0.8V). The buck-boost regulator includes a soft-start to limit inrush current and voltage overshoot when powering on, short-circuit current protection, and switch node slew limiting circuitry for reduced radiated EMI. Input Current Limit The input current limit comparator will shut the input PMOS switch off once current exceeds 2.5A (typical). The 2.5A input current limit also protects against a grounded VOUT3 node. Output Overvoltage Protection If the FB3 node were inadvertently shorted to ground, then the output would increase indefinitely with the maximum current that could be sourced from VIN3 . The LTC3586/ LTC3586-1 protect against this by shutting off the input PMOS if the output voltage exceeds 5.6V (typical). Low Output Voltage Operation When the output voltage is below 2.65V (typical) during start-up, Burst Mode operation is disabled and switch D is turned off (allowing forward current through the well diode and limiting reverse current to 0mA). Buck-Boost Regulator PWM Operating Mode In PWM mode the voltage seen at FB3 is compared to the reference voltage (0.8V). From the FB3 voltage an error amplifier generates an error signal seen at VC3 . This error signal commands PWM waveforms that modulate switches A, B, C, and D. Switches A and B operate synchronously as do switches C and D. If VIN3 is significantly greater than the programmed VOUT3 , then the converter will operate in buck mode. In this case switches A and B will be modulated, with switch D always on (and switch C always off), to step-down the input voltage to the programmed output. If VIN3 is significantly less than the programmed VOUT3 , then the converter will operate in boost mode. In this case switches C and D are modulated, with switch A
3586fa
22
LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
always on (and switch B always off), to step-up the input voltage to the programmed output. If VIN3 is close to the programmed VOUT3 , then the converter will operate in 4-switch mode. In this case the switches sequence through the pattern of AD, AC, BD to either step the input voltage up or down to the programmed output. Buck-Boost Regulator Burst-Mode Operation In Burst Mode operation, the buck-boost regulator uses a hysteretic FB3 voltage algorithm to control the output voltage. By limiting FET switching and using a hysteretic control loop, switching losses are greatly reduced. In this mode output current is limited to 50mA typical. While operating in Burst Mode operation, the output capacitor is charged to a voltage slightly higher than the regulation point. The buck-boost converter then goes into a sleep state, during which the output capacitor provides the load current. The output capacitor is charged by charging the inductor until the input current reaches 250mA typical and then discharging the inductor until the reverse current reaches 0mA typical. This process is repeated until the feedback voltage has charged to 6mV above the regulation point. In the sleep state, most of the regulator's circuitry is powered down, helping to conserve battery power. When the feedback voltage drops 6mV below the regulation point, the switching regulator circuitry is powered on and another burst cycle begins. The duration for which the regulator sleeps depends on the load current and output capacitor value. The sleep time decreases as the load current increases. The buck-boost regulator will not go to sleep if the current is greater than 50mA, and if the load current increases beyond this point while in Burst Mode operation the output will lose regulation. Burst Mode operation provides a significant improvement in efficiency at light loads at the expense of higher output ripple when compared to PWM mode. 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 is used to enable or disable Burst Mode operation at any time, offering both low noise and low power operation when they are needed. Buck-Boost Regulator Soft-Start Operation Soft-start is accomplished by gradually increasing the maximum VC3 voltage over a 0.5ms (typical) period. Ramping the VC3 voltage limits the duty cycle and thus the VOUT3 voltage minimizing output overshoot during startup. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever the buck-boost 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 and PWM mode. SYNCHRONOUS BOOST DC/DC SWITCHING REGULATOR The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 contain a 2.25MHz constantfrequency current mode synchronous boost switching regulator with true output disconnect feature. The regulator provides at least 800mA of output load current and the output voltage can be programmed up to a maximum of 5V. The converter is enabled by pulling EN4 high. The boost regulator also includes soft-start to limit inrush current and voltage overshoot when powering on, short circuit current protection and switch node slew limiting circuitry for reduced radiated EMI. Error Amp The boost output voltage is programmed by a user-supplied resistive divider returned to the FB4 pin. An internally compensated error amplifier compares the divided output voltage with an internal 0.8V reference and adjusts the voltage accordingly until FB4 servos to 0.8V. Current Limit Lossless current sensing converts the NMOS switch current signal to a voltage to be summed with the internal slope compensation signal. The summed signal is then compared to the error amplifier output to provide a peak current control command for the peak comparator. Peak switch current is limited to 2.4A independent of output voltage.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 OPERATION
Zero Current Comparator The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifier once the current drops to approximately 65mA. This prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity thereby improving efficiency at light loads. Antiringing Control The antiringing control circuitry prevents high frequency ringing of the SW pin as the inductor current goes to zero in discontinuous mode. The damping of the resonant circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance of the SW4 pin) is achieved internally by switching a 150 resistor across the inductor. PMOS Synchronous Rectifier To prevent the inductor current from running away, the PMOS synchronous rectifier is only enabled when VOUT > (VIN + 130mV). Output Disconnect and Inrush Limiting The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter is designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal PMOS rectifier. This allows VOUT to go to zero volts during shutdown, drawing zero current from the input source. It also allows for inrush current limiting at start-up, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply. Note that to obtain the advantage of output disconnect, there must not be an external Schottky diode connected between the SW4 and VOUT4 pin. Short Circuit Protection Unlike most boost converters, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter allows its output to be short-circuited due to the output disconnect feature. It incorporates internal features such as current limit foldback and thermal shutdown for protection from an excessive overload or short circuit. VIN > VOUT Operation The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter will maintain voltage regulation even if the input voltage is above the output voltage. This is achieved by terminating the switching of the synchronous PMOS and applying VIN4 statically on its gate. This ensures that the slope of the inductor current will reverse during the time when current is flowing to the output. 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 the efficiency (see Typical Performance Characteristics, Boost Efficiency vs VIN4). The maximum output current should be limited in order to maintain an acceptable junction temperature. Boost Soft-Start The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter provides softstart by slowly ramping the peak inductor current from zero to a maximum of 2.4A in about 500s. Ramping the peak inductor current limits transient inrush currents during start-up. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever the boost is enabled, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal shutdown or UVLO). Boost Overvoltage Protection If the FB4 node were inadvertently shorted to ground, then the boost converter output would increase indefinitely with the maximum current that could be sourced from VIN4 . The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 protects against this by shutting off the main switch if the output voltage exceeds 5.3V.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PowerPath CONTROLLER APPLICATIONS SECTION CLPROG Resistor and Capacitor As described in the High Efficiency Switching PowerPath Controller section, the resistor on the CLPROG pin determines the average input current limit when the switching regulator is set to either the 1x mode (USB 100mA), the 5x mode (USB 500mA) or the 10x mode. The 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 input current should be considered. The Electrical Characteristics table gives the worst-case values for quiescent currents in either setting as well as current limit programming accuracy. To get as close to the 500mA or 100mA specifications as possible, a 1% resistor should be used. Recall that IVBUS = IVBUSQ + VCLPROG/RCLPPROG * (hCLPROG +1). An averaging capacitor is required in parallel with the CLPROG resistor so that the switching regulator can determine the average input current. This network also provides the dominant pole for the feedback loop when current limit is reached. To ensure stability, the capacitor on CLPROG should be 0.1F . Choosing the PowerPath Inductor Because the input voltage range and output voltage range of the power path switching regulator are both fairly narrow, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 are designed for a specific inductance value of 3.3H. Some inductors which may be suitable for this application are listed in Table 4.

VBUS and VOUT Bypass Capacitors The style and value of capacitors used with the LTC3586/ LTC3586-1 determine several important parameters such as regulator control-loop stability and input voltage ripple. Because the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 use a buck switching power supply from VBUS to VOUT, its input current waveform contains high frequency components. It is strongly recommended that a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) multilayer ceramic capacitor 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. To prevent large VOUT voltage steps during transient load conditions, it is also recommended that a ceramic capacitor be used to bypass VOUT. The output capacitor is used in the compensation of the switching regulator. At least 4F of actual capacitance with low ESR are required on VOUT. Additional capacitance will improve load transient performance and stability. Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors 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. There are several types of ceramic capacitors available each having considerably different characteristics. For example, X7R ceramic capacitors have the best voltage and temperature stability. X5R ceramic capacitors have apparently higher packing density but poorer performance over their rated voltage and temperature ranges. Y5V ceramic capacitors have the highest packing density, but must be used with caution, because of their extreme non-linear characteristic of capacitance verse voltage. The actual in-circuit capacitance of a ceramic capacitor should be measured with a small AC signal as is expected in-circuit. Many vendors specify the capacitance verse voltage with a 1V RMS AC test signal and as a result overstate 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.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Over-Programming the Battery Charger The USB high power specification allows for up to 2.5W to be drawn from the USB port (5V * 500mA). The PowerPath switching regulator transforms the voltage at VBUS to just above the voltage at BAT with high efficiency, while limiting power to less than the amount programmed at CLPROG. In some cases the battery charger may be programmed (with the PROG pin) to deliver the maximum safe charging current without regard to the USB specifications. If there is insufficient current available to charge the battery at the programmed rate, the PowerPath regulator will reduce charge current until the system load on VOUT is satisfied and the VBUS current limit is satisfied. Programming the battery charger for more current than is available will not cause the average input current limit to be violated. It will merely allow the battery charger to make use of all available power to charge the battery as quickly as possible, and with minimal power dissipation within the battery charger. Alternate NTC Thermistors and Biasing The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 provide temperature qualified charging if a grounded thermistor and a bias resistor are connected to NTC. By using a bias resistor whose value is equal to the room temperature resistance of the thermistor (R25) the upper and lower temperatures are pre-programmed to approximately 40C and 0C, respectively (assuming a Vishay "Curve 1" thermistor). The upper and lower temperature thresholds can be adjusted by either a modification of the bias resistor value or by adding a second adjustment resistor to the circuit. If only the bias resistor is adjusted, then either the upper or the lower threshold can be modified but not both. The other trip point will be determined by the characteristics of the thermistor. Using the bias resistor in addition to an adjustment resistor, both the upper and the lower temperature trip points can be independently programmed with the constraint that the difference between the upper and lower temperature thresholds cannot decrease. Examples of each technique are given below. NTC thermistors have temperature characteristics which are indicated on resistance-temperature conversion tables. The Vishay-Dale thermistor NTHS0603N011-N1003F, used in the following examples, has a nominal value of 100k and follows the Vishay "Curve 1" resistance-temperature characteristic. In the explanation below, the following notation is used. R25 = Value of the Thermistor at 25C RNTC|COLD = Value of thermistor at the cold trip point RNTC|HOT = Value of the thermistor at the hot trip point rCOLD = Ratio of RNTC|COLD to R25 rHOT = Ratio of RNTC|COLD to R25 RNOM = Primary thermistor bias resistor (see Figure 6a) R1 = Optional temperature range adjustment resistor (see Figure 6b) The trip points for the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's temperature qualification are internally programmed at 0.349 * VBUS for the hot threshold and 0.765 * VBUS for the cold threshold. Therefore, the hot trip point is set when: RNTCHOT | RNOM + RNTCHOT | * VBUS = 0.349 * VBUS
and the cold trip point is set when: RNTC|COLD RNOM + RNTC|COLD * VBUS = 0.765 * VBUS
Solving these equations for RNTC|COLD and RNTC|HOT results in the following: RNTC|HOT = 0.536 * RNOM and RNTC|COLD = 3.25 * RNOM By setting RNOM equal to R25, the above equations result in rHOT = 0.536 and rCOLD = 3.25. Referencing these ratios to the Vishay Resistance-Temperature Curve 1 chart gives a hot trip point of about 40C and a cold trip point of about 0C. The difference between the hot and cold trip points is approximately 40C.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
By using a bias resistor, RNOM , different in value from R25, the hot and cold trip points can be moved in either direction. The temperature span will change somewhat due to the non-linear behavior of the thermistor. The following equations can be used to easily calculate a new value for the bias resistor: RNOM = RNOM = rHOT * R25 0.536 rCOLD * R25 3.25 "temperature gain" of the thermistor as absolute temperature increases. The upper and lower temperature trip points can be independently programmed by using an additional bias resistor as shown in Figure 6b. The following formulas can be used to compute the values of RNOM and R1: RNOM = rCOLD - rHOT * R25 2.714
R1 = 0.536 * RNOM - rHOT * R25 For example, to set the trip points to 0C and 45C with a Vishay Curve 1 thermistor choose: RNOM = 3.266 - 0.4368 * 100k = 104.2k 2.714
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 chosen, the other is determined by the default ratios designed in the IC. Consider an example where a 60C hot trip point is desired. From the Vishay Curve 1 R-T characteristics, rHOT is 0.2488 at 60C. Using the above equation, RNOM should be set to 46.4k. With this value of RNOM , the cold trip point is about 16C. Notice that the span is now 44C rather than the previous 40C. This is due to the decrease in

the nearest 1% value is 105k: R1 = 0.536 * 105k - 0.4368 * 100k = 12.6k the nearest 1% value is 12.7k. The final circuit is shown in Figure 6b and results in an upper trip point of 45C and a lower trip point of 0C.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USB Inrush Limiting When a USB cable is plugged into a portable product, the inductance of the cable and the high-Q ceramic input capacitor form an L-C resonant circuit. If the cable does not have adequate mutual coupling or if there is not much impedance in the cable, it is possible for the voltage at the input of the product to reach as high as twice the USB voltage (~10V) before it settles out. In fact, due to the high voltage coefficient of many ceramic capacitors, a nonlinearity, the voltage may even exceed twice the USB voltage. To prevent excessive voltage from damaging the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 during a hot insertion, it is best to have a low voltage coefficient capacitor at the VBUS pin to the LTC3586/LTC3586-1. This is achievable by selecting an MLCC capacitor that has a higher voltage rating than that required for the application. For example, a 16V, X5R, 10F capacitor in a 1206 case would be a better choice than a 6.3V, X5R, 10F capacitor in a smaller 0805 case. Alternatively, the soft connect circuit (Figure 7) can be employed. In this circuit, capacitor C1 holds MP1 off when the cable is first connected. Eventually C1 begins to charge up to the USB input voltage applying increasing gate support to MP1. The long time constant of R1 and C1 prevent the current from building up in the cable too fast thus dampening out any resonant overshoot. Battery Charger Stability Considerations The LTC3586/LTC3586-1's battery charger contains both a constantvoltage and a constant-current control loop. The constantvoltage loop is stable without any compensation when a battery is connected with low impedance leads. Excessive lead length, however, may add enough series inductance to require a bypass capacitor of at least 1F from BAT to GND. Furthermore, when the battery is
MP1 Si2333 5V USB INPUT C1 100nF USB CABLE R1 40k C2 10F VBUS LTC3586/ LTC3586-1
disconnected, a 4.7F capacitor in series with a 0.2 to 1 resistor from BAT to GND is required to keep ripple voltage low. High value, low ESR multilayer ceramic chip capacitors reduce the constant-voltage loop phase margin, possibly resulting in instability. Ceramic capacitors up to 22F may be used in parallel with a battery, but larger ceramics should be decoupled with 0.2 to 1 of series resistance. In constant-current mode, the PROG pin is in the feedback loop rather than the battery voltage. Because of the additional pole created by any PROG pin capacitance, capacitance on this pin must be kept to a minimum. With no additional capacitance on the PROG pin, the battery charger is stable with program resistor values as high as 25k. However, additional capacitance on this node reduces the maximum allowed program resistor. The pole frequency at the PROG pin should be kept above 100kHz. Therefore, if the PROG pin has a parasitic capacitance, CPROG, the following equation should be used to calculate the maximum resistance value for RPROG: RPROG 1 2 * 100kHz * CPROG
BUCK REGULATOR APPLICATIONS SECTION Buck 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 buck converters are designed to work with inductors in the range of 2.2H to 10H. For most applications a 4.7H inductor is suggested for both buck regulators. 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 100m series resistance at 400mA load current, and about 2% for 300m 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 buck 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 LTC3586/LTC3586-1 require to operate. The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode operations. Lower inductor values will cause the Burst Mode switching frequencies to increase. Table 5 shows several inductors that work well with the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's buck 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.

Buck Regulator Input/Output Capacitor Selection Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) MLCC capacitors should be used at both buck regulator outputs as well as at each buck regulator input supply (VIN1 and VIN2). 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 10F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. For good transient response and stability the output capacitor should retain at least 4F of capacitance over operating temperature and bias voltage. Each buck regulator input supply should be bypassed with a 1F 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 6 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers.

BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR APPLICATIONS SECTION Buck-Boost Regulator Inductor Selection Inductor selection criteria for the buck-boost are similar to those given for the buck switching regulator. The buckboost converter is designed to work with inductors in the range of 1H to 5H. For most applications a 2.2H inductor will suffice. Choose an inductor with a DC current rating at least 2 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 buck-boost converter. Table 7 shows several inductors that work well with the LTC3586/LTC3586-1's buck-boost 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.

Buck-Boost Regulator Input/Output Capacitor Selection Low ESR ceramic capacitors should be used at both the buck-boost regulator output (VOUT3) as well as the buckboost regulator input supply (VIN3). Again, 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 22F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. The buck-boost regulator input supply should be bypassed with a 2.2F capacitor. Refer to Table 6 for recommended ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Buck-Boost Regulator Output Voltage Programming The buck-boost regulator can be programmed for output voltages greater than 2.75V and less than 5.5V. The full scale output voltage is programmed using a resistor divider from the VOUT3 pin connected to the FB3 pin such that: R1 +1 VOUT 3 = VFB3 R2 where VFB3 is 0.8V. See Figure 8 or 9.
where RESR is the capacitor equivalent series resistance. A troublesome feature in boost mode is the right-half plane zero (RHP), and is given by: fRHPZ = VIN2 Hz 2 * * IOUT * L * VOUT
The loop gain is typically rolled off before the RHP zero frequency. A simple Type I compensation network (as shown in Figure 8) can be incorporated to stabilize the loop but at the cost of reduced bandwidth and slower transient response. To ensure proper phase margin, the loop must cross unity-gain decade before the LC double pole. The unity-gain frequency of the error amplifier with the Type I compensation is given by: fUG = 1 Hz 2 * * R1 * CP1
Most applications demand an improved transient response to allow a smaller output filter capacitor. To achieve a higher bandwidth, Type III compensation is required. Two zeros are required to compensate for the double-pole response. Type III compensation also reduces any VOUT3 overshoot seen during a startup condition.
3586fa

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The compensation network depicted in Figure 9 yields the transfer function: VC3 R1+ R3 = VOUT 3 R1 * R3 * C1 1 1 *s+ s+ R2 * C2 (R1+ R3) * C3 * C1+ C2 1 s *s+ * s + R3 * C3 R2 * C1 * C2 A Type III compensation network attempts to introduce a phase bump at a higher frequency than the LC double pole. This allows the system to cross unity gain after the LC double pole, and achieve a higher bandwidth. While attempting to crossover after the LC double pole, the system must still crossover before the boost right-half plane zero. If unity gain is not reached sufficiently before the right-half plane zero, then the -180 of phase from the LC double pole combined with the -90 of phase from the right-half plane zero will negate the phase bump of the compensator. The compensator zeros should be placed either before or only slightly after the LC double pole such that their positive phase contributions of the compensation network offset the -180 that occurs at the filter double pole. If they are placed at too low of a frequency, however, they will introduce too much gain to the system and the crossover frequency will be too high. The two high frequency poles should be placed such that the system crosses unity gain during the phase bump introduced by the zeros yet before the boost right-half plane zero and such that the compensator bandwidth is less than the bandwidth of the error amp (typically 900kHz). If the gain of the compensation network is ever greater than the gain of the error amplifier, then the error amplifier no longer acts as an ideal op amp, another pole will be introduced where the gain crossover occurs, and the total compensation gain will not exceed that of the amplifier. Recommended Type III Compensation Components for a 3.3V output: R1: 324k RFB: 105k C1: 10pF R2: 15k C2: 330pF R3: 121k C3: 33pF COUT: 22F LOUT: 2.2H BOOST REGULATOR APPLICATIONS SECTION Boost Regulator Inductor Selection The boost converter is designed to work with inductors in the range of 1H to 5H. For most applications a 2.2H inductor will suffice. Larger value inductors will allow greater output current capability by reducing the inductor ripple current. However, using too large an inductor may push the right-half-plane zero too far inside and cause loop instability. Lower value inductors result in higher ripple current and improved transient response time. Refer to Table 7 for recommended inductors. Boost Regulator Input/Output Capacitor Selection Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors should be used at both the boost regulator output (VOUT4) as well as the boost regulator input supply (VIN4). Only X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors should be used because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other ceramic types. At least 10F of output capacitance at the rated output voltage is required to ensure stability of the boost converter output voltage over the entire temperature and load range. Refer to Table 6 for recommended ceramic capacitor manufacturers.

Typical values for R1 are in the range of 40k to 1M. Too small a resistor will result in a large quiescent current in the feedback network and may hurt efficiency at low current. Too large a resistor coupled with the FB4 pin capacitance will create an additional pole which may result in loop instability. If large values are chosen for R1 and R2, a phase-lead capacitor, CPL, across resistor R1 can improve the transient response. Recommended values for CPL are in the range of 2pF to 10pF. Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations In order to be able to deliver maximum current under all conditions, it is critical that the Exposed Pad on the backside of the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 packages be soldered to the PC board ground. Failure to make thermal contact between the Exposed Pad on the backside of the package and the copper board will result in higher thermal resistances.

LTC3586/LTC3586-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Furthermore, due to its high frequency switching circuitry, it is imperative that the input capacitors, inductors and output capacitors be as close to the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 as possible and that there be an unbroken ground plane under the LTC3586/LTC3586-1 and all of its external high frequency components. High frequency currents, such as the VBUS, VIN1, VIN2 , VIN3 , VOUT3 , and VOUT4 currents on the LTC3586/LTC3586-1, tend to find their way along the ground plane in a myriad of paths ranging from directly back to a mirror path beneath the incident path on the top of the board. If there are slits or cuts in the ground plane due to other traces on that layer, the current will be forced to go around the slits. If high frequency currents are not allowed to flow back through their natural leastarea path, excessive voltage will build up and radiated emissions will occur. There should be a group of vias under the grounded backside of the package leading directly down to an internal ground plane. To minimize parasitic inductance, the ground plane should be on the second layer of the PC board. The GATE pin for the external ideal diode controller has extremely limited drive current. Care must be taken to minimize leakage to adjacent PC board traces. 100nA of leakage from this pin will introduce an offset to the 15mV ideal diode of approximately 10mV. To minimize leakage, the trace can be guarded on the PC board by surrounding it with VOUT connected metal, which should generally be less that one volt higher than GATE.
