DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
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  
differentpowersources:asingle-cellLi-Ionbattery, aUSB  
port, and a wall adapter. Current drawn from the USB bus  
isaccuratelylimitedunderallconditions. WheneveraUSB  
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 dis-  
charged to ground during shutdown to provide complete  
output disconnect. The device is available in a  
4mm × 4mm 24-pin exposed-pad QFN package.  
Seamless Transition between Input Power Sources:  
Li-Ion Battery, USB, and 5V Wall Adapter  
Accurate USB Current Limiting (500mA/100mA)

BAT pin. When either USB or wall power is present, they  
provide power to this pin, and the battery charger draws  
powerfromthispin. In shutdown, this pin is dischargedto  
ground to provide output disconnect.  
In all modes the voltage on the PROG pin can be used to  
measurechargecurrent. PROGhasaweakpull-upcurrent  
source to turn the charger off if the pin is left open.  
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 con-  
nected to the VMAX pin through a Schottky diode. Tie  
WALLFB to ground if a wall adapter is not used.  
TIMER (Pin 3): Timer Capacitor Pin. Connect a capacitor,  
C
TIMER, between this pin and ground to set the charge  
cycle termination time. The timer starts when USB or wall  
power is first present. The timer period is:  
TTIMER (hours) = CTIMER • (3 hours) / (0.1µF)  
Tie TIMER to ground to disable just the internal timer  
function. Tie TIMER to VMAX to use the charger in a  
constant-current-only mode (which disables the timer,  
voltage amplifier and trickle charge function).  
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.  
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.  
HSI (Pin 13): Hot Swap Input Pin. This pin is connected to  
the HSO pin through a current-limited PMOS switch.  
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).

pin is limited to 160mA.  
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.  
HSON(Pin15):HotSwapEnablePin. Thispinturnsonthe  
PMOS that connects the HSI and HSO pins.  
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.  
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.  
USB (Pin 8): USB Supply Pin. Input current into this pin is

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.  
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.  
MODE (Pin 21): Burst Mode Enable Pin. Tie this pin high  
to allow Burst Mode operation for the LTC3455. Burst  
Modeoperationwillprovidesuperiorefficiencywhenboth

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).  
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

OPERATIO  
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 cur-  
rent and charge time are programmed using an external  
resistor and capacitor, respectively. The USB power man-  
ager 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.  
TheLTC3455isdesignedtobeacompletepowermanage-  
ment solution for a wide variety of portable systems. The  
device incorporates two current mode step-down switch-  
ing regulators, a full-featured battery charger, a USB  
power controller, a Hot Swap output, a low-battery com-  
parator (which can also be configured as an LDO) and

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
Whenever the WALLFB pin is above 1.23V, system power  
is drawn from the wall adapter via the VMAX pin, and the  
battery charger is active. The 5V wall adapter output is  
connected to the VMAX pin through a Schottky diode, and  
aresistordividerfromthe5Vwallinputisconnectedtothe  
WALLFB pin to signal the LTC3455 that wall power is  
present. A higher voltage adapter can also be used, but the  
6V maximum rating on the VMAX pin requires the use of an  
additional regulator to step down the voltage.  
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 low-  
batterythresholdcanbeimplementedusingthegainblock  
(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.  
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. As long as the USB pin stays above 3.9V,  
the USB port supplies all other system power.  
If external power is present and the battery voltage is less  
than 3.0V, the VMAX pin voltage must be greater than 3.9V  
for the LTC3455 to start, and once started, the VMAX pin  
must stay above 3.1V for the device to continue running.  
If the system needs more power than the USB bus can  
supply, the charger turns off completely, the USB power  
controller becomes a 500mA (or 100mA) current source  
and the VMAX voltage begins to decrease. If VMAX contin-  
ues to decrease, eventually the battery will provide the  
additional current needed. This allows the LTC3455 to  
withstand load current transients that briefly require more  
power than the USB power supply can provide.  
Selecting the Input Power Source  
The priority for supplying power to both DC/DC convert-  
ers, all internal circuitry, and the VMAX pin is: Wall adapter,  
USB, battery.

Operation When No Battery Is Present  
desirable, but it is not necessarily an easy task. As the  
performanceofdigitalcameras, handheldcomputers, and  
MP3 players increases, the power needed to operate them  
alsoincreases. ThepoweravailablefromasingleUSBport  
(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.  
AslongasUSBorwallpowerisavailable, theLTC3455will  
operate with no battery present, a crucial requirement for  
systemswitharemovablebattery. Keepinmind, 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.  
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 tran-  
sient 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  
voltagealsopresentsproblemswhentryingtofullycharge  
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.  
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  
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  
LoadswhenUSBpoweredandSpecialChargerFeatures  
when USB powered” for more detailed discussions of the  
LTC3455’s special USB features.  
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) ex-  
ceeds what the adapter can provide, the voltage on the  
VMAX pin will begin to droop. If it droops close enough to  
the battery voltage (the VBAT pin), the charge current  
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  
intendedonlyforsurvivingfaultconditionsandshouldnot  
be a normal mode of operation.  
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  
USBHPpinhasaweakinternalpulldowncurrentsourceto  
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.  
Concerns When USB Powered  
The popularity of USB (Universal Serial Bus) makes it an  
attractive choice for transferring data in a variety of por-  
table devices. Therefore, utilizing the USB port to power  
these portable devices while charging their battery is very

Operation in USB Low Power Mode  
The oscilloscope photographs in Figure 1 show how the

top photo shows a brief transient load that turns off the  
charger but does not dip the VMAX voltage. The bottom  
photoshowsaprolongedtransientconditionthatturnsoff  
the charger and completely dips the VMAX voltage to the  
point where the battery must provide current. For both  
cases, normal operation resumes as soon as the transient  
passes.  
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  
beengivenpermissiontodosobytheUSBhostcontroller.  
The change to high power mode is usually very quick, so  
thefull500mAofcurrentisavailableshortlyafterconnect-  
ing 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. Forthisreason, USBhighpoweroperationshould  
always be used with the LTC3455.  
Extra capacitance can be connected to the VMAX pin to act  
as a reservoir to help support large transient currents. For  
most systems this is not necessary, as the LTC3455  
cleanly handles heavy transients. For some designs, how-  
ever, it may be desirable to use a larger capacitor con-  
nected to VMAX to act as a larger reservoir. Up to 50µF of

Handling Large Transient Loads when USB Powered  
IMAX  
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(oranyotherdevicesconnectedtotheVMAX pin)  
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 VMAX voltage begins to decrease. At this point, the  
capacitance connected to the VMAX pin provides the addi-  
tional current needed by the system. As long as the USB  
pin stays above 3.9V, the USB bus will continue to provide  
as much current as possible. Once the VMAX pin drops just  
below the VBAT voltage, the battery will provide the addi-  
tional current needed. This operation allows the LTC3455  
to withstand load transients that briefly demand more  
power than can be provided by the USB bus.

ensure loop stability in the battery charger loop when  
under USB power.  
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.  
Using the VMAX Pin to Power Other Devices  
The VMAX pin can be used to provide power for other  
devices within the system. This pin is connected to the  
battery when no external power is available, and it is  
connected to either the USB bus or the wall adapter when  
either are available. This ensures that all devices powered  
from VMAX will always draw power from the best available  
input power source.  
When the momentary-on switch is first pressed, shorting  
the ON pin to ground, PBSTAT goes low and the LTC3455  
first brings up the VMAX 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 micro-  
controller that the push-button has been pressed. The  
microcontroller prepares for shutdown then pulls the  
PWRONsignallow. Whenthepush-buttonisreleased, 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 VMAX pin has reached the VBAT  
pin voltage.  
The internal PMOS connecting VMAX to the battery is  
current limited to 900mA at startup (to minimize in-rush  
current) andto4AonceVMAX hasrisenclosetothebattery  
voltage. Because of the reduced startup current limit, the  
turn-on of other devices powered from VMAX should  
alwaysbedelayedtominimizethecurrrentinitiallyneeded  
from the VMAX pin. The best choice is to enable these  
devices from either switcher output, since the turn-on of  
both switchers is always delayed until the VMAX pin has  
reached the VBAT pin voltage. The VMAX pin is discharged  
to ground when the LTC3455 is shut down, so that any  
device supplied by VMAX will have its input grounded  
during shutdown. This ensures output disconnect for all  
supply voltages within the system.

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  
alivewhenexternalpowerisavailable(thisisimportantfor  
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.  
Reset Signal (RST)  
A 200ms reset signal (the RST pin is pulled low) is  
providedforproperinitializationofamicrocontrollerwhen-  
ever 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.

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  
VMAX pin. This will enable Switcher 2 after the output of  
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. Figure 4 shows the

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 VMAX pin will remain on as long as ON  
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 VMAX so  
that Switcher 2 is also turned on at startup, then both

Schottky Diode Selection/WALLFB Resistor Selection  
Switching Regulator General Information  
When a 5V wall adapter is used, power is provided to the  
VMAX pin through a Schottky diode. The most important  
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  
leakagecurrentshouldbeminimized(bypickinganappro-  
priate 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 LTC3455 contains two 1.5MHz constant-frequency  
current mode switching regulators that operate with effi-  
ciencies up to 96%. Switcher 1 provides up to 400mA at  
1.5V/1.8V(topoweramicrocontrollercore), andSwitcher  
2 provides up to 600mA at 3V/3.3V (to power microcon-  
troller I/O, memory and other logic circuitry). Both con-  
verters 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.  
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 100µA 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  
becheckedthoroughlytoavoidproblemsduetoexcessive  
diode leakage current.

be connected to the VMAX pin without difficulty. More than  
50µF requires using a capacitor with some ESR (like a  
Tantalum or OS-CON) or adding some resistance in series  
with some of the ceramic capacitance. This is necessary  
to ensure loop stability in the battery charger loop when

Burst Mode™ Operation  
Cautionmustbeexercisedwhenusingceramiccapacitors  
to bypass the USB pin or the wall adapter input. High  
voltage transients can be generated when the USB or wall

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.RefertoLinearTechnologyApplicationNote88,

Battery Charger General Information  
Figure 8. Burst Mode and PWM Mode Waveforms  
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 immedi-  
ately when external power is applied. For such applica-  
tions, an NMOS switch can be used to disconnect the  
RPROG resistor and allow the PROG pin to float high,  
turning off the charger. In this manner, charging occurs  
only when allowed by the microcontroller.  
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. Figure9showsthebatterycurrentduringstartup.  
A soft-start cycle occurs whenever each switcher first  
turns on, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal  
shutdown or UVLO).  
The LTC3455 battery charger is a constant-current, con-  
stant-voltagecharger.Inconstant-currentmode,themaxi-

Charge and Recharge Cycles  
Capacitance on the PROG pin should be minimized to  
ensure loop stability when in constant-current mode. Do  
notplaceacapacitordirectlyfromthePROGpintoground.  
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 signifi-  
cantly with normal load transients.  
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  
continueuntilthebatteryvoltageexceedsthe4.05Vthresh-  
old. 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.

An external capacitor on the TIMER pin sets the total  
charge time. When this timer elapses the charge cycle  
terminates and the CHRG pin assumes a high impedance  
state. The total charge time is programmed as:  
Programming Charge Current  
The maximum charge current is programmed using one

GND (use the closest 1% resistor value):

Ifthebatteryvoltageisbelow2.85Vatthebeginningofthe  
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  
SUSPENDpinistemporarilypulledhigh(iftheLTC3455is  
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.  
If only USB power is used (no wall adapter), select the  
RPROG value to be 2.49k(or larger) to set the maximum  
charge current at 500mA. If a wall adapter is also used,  
ICHARGE can be programmed up to 1A (with a 1.24kΩ  
RPROG value), and the USB power manager will automati-  
cally throttle back the charge current to below 500mA  
when under USB power.  
Monitoring Charge Current  
The voltage on the PROG pin is an accurate indication of  
the battery charge current under all charging conditions.

Battery Charger Thermal Limit  
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.  
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 tem-  
perature, 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 auto-  
matically reduce the current under worst-case conditions.

Increased to 1.2A  
and AO pins provides 150mV of hysteresis (the dropout  
indicator stays low until the VMAX pin rises back above  
4.15V). A 4700µF backup capacitor connected to the VBAT  
pin briefly provides power to the system after the USB  
supply has been removed, and also helps support tran-  
sient loads that slightly exceed the USB current limit.  
Connecting this large capacitance to the VBAT pin has  
several advantages. It provides a large energy reservoir  
that is isolated from both the USB pin (the USB specifica-  
tion limits capacitance on the USB supply pin to 10µF or  
less) and the VMAX pin (using a very large capacitance on  
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 VMAX, the battery charger operates  
in constant-current mode (the voltage-loop and timer  
function are disabled), so the 4700µF 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 typi-  
cally provides a 3.3V, 600mA output. While this output  
current is sufficient for many portable devices, some  
applicationsneeda3.3Vsupplycapableofprovidingmore  
than 1A. Figure 15 shows how to implement a higher  
current3.3VoutputusingtheLTC3455.Byaddingonetiny  
SOT23PMOSandusingtheAI/AOamplifierasanLDO,the  
3.3Voutputnowprovides1.2Aofoutputcurrent.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  
normallyprovidealloftheoutputcurrent, andtheLDOwill  
turn on briefly to provide the higher load currents.

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.
