LTC3455/LTC3455-1  
Dual DC/DC Converter  
with USB Power Manager  
and Li-Ion Battery Charger  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®3455/LTC3455-1 are complete power manage-  
ment solutions for a variety of portable applications.  
These devices contain 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/LTC3455-1 provide a small, simple solution for  
obtaining power from three different power sources: a  
single-cell Li-Ion battery, a USB port, and a wall adapter.  
Current drawn from the USB bus is accurately limited  
under all conditions. Whenever a USB or a wall adapter  
is present, the battery charger is enabled and all internal  
powerforthedeviceisdrawnfromtheappropriateexternal  
powersource.Alloutputsaredischargedtogroundduring  
shutdown to provide complete output disconnect. These  
devices are available in a 4mm × 4mm 24-pin exposed-  
pad QFN package.

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).  
HSO (Pin 14): Hot Swap Output Pin. This output is used  
for memory cards or other devices that would appear as  
a short if they were hot-plugged directly to one of the  
outputs (typically the 3.3V output). The current out of this  
pin is limited to 160mA.

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 limited to either 100mA or 500mA based on the state

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.  
ON (Pin 24): ON Pin. Pull this pin to ground to turn on  
the LTC3455/LTC3455-1. This pin is typically used with  
a momentary-on push-button switch to turn on the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1. This pin would be held low until the  
PWRON pin is pulled high by a microcontroller to keep the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1 turned on. If a momentary-on switch  
is not used, this pin can be held to ground to keep on the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1. Leave ON open if not used. This pin  
has a weak pull-up current source.  
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.

both outputs are operating with very low output currents.  
Tie this pin to ground to force PWM operation under all  
load current conditions. Burst Mode is disabled initially  
at startup (for 200ms) and also whenever external power  
is available (even if MODE is pulled high).  
GND (Pin 25 – Exposed Pad): Ground Pin. The exposed  
backside pad is the only ground pin for the LTC3455/  
LTC3455-1 and must be soldered to the PC board ground  
plane for the device to operate properly.

The LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are designed to be a complete  
power management solution for a wide variety of portable  
systems. The device incorporates two current mode step-  
downswitchingregulators, afull-featuredbatterycharger,

for surviving fault conditions and should not be a normal  
mode of operation.  
As long as USB or wall power is available, the LTC3455/  
LTC3455-1 will operate with no battery present, a crucial  
requirement for systems with a removable battery. Keep  
in mind, however, that if the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are USB  
powered and the battery is not present, absence of the  
batterymeansthatthereisnoreservoirifthesystemneeds  
more power than the USB port can supply. This is espe-  
cially a problem when starting up the LTC3455/LTC3455-1  
in USB low power mode with no battery present, which  
is discussed in greater detail on the next page, in the  
section entitled “Startup Issues in USB Low Power Mode  
When No Battery is Present”. Similarly, if external power  
is available, the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 will operate even if  
the battery is bad or in deep-discharge.  
Concerns When USB Powered  
The popularity of USB (Universal Serial Bus) makes it  
an attractive choice for transferring data in a variety of  
portable devices. Therefore, utilizing the USB port to  
power these portable devices while charging their battery  
is very desirable, but it is not necessarily an easy task. As  
the performance of digital cameras, handheld computers,  
and MP3 players increases, the power needed to operate  
them also increases. The power available from a single  
USB port (maximum 2.5W) is barely enough to support  
the peak power needed by many full-featured portable  
devices, even without the power needed to quickly charge  
their batteries.  
TheLTC3455/LTC3455-1arealsoagoodchoiceforsystems  
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.  
To further complicate matters, a USB port is not the ideal  
powersource.Eachdevicecandrawamaximumof500mA  
(in high power mode), but the voltage provided to the por-  
table device can vary quite significantly. Although a USB  
power supply has a 5V nominal rating, when you include  
normal supply variations, cable losses, and transient  
conditions, the USB voltage showing up at the portable  
device is typically much lower—often falling to only 4V.  
Since the USB port has a strict current limit of 500mA,  
this means the amount of power available to the portable  
device can be as low as 2W. The reduced USB voltage also

USB High Power/Low Power/Suspend Modes  
powered and the battery is not present, absence of the  
batterymeansthatthereisnoreservoirifthesystemneeds  
more power than the USB port can supply. Since the USB  
can only provide 100mA maximum current in low power  
mode, this gives, at best, only 500mW (5V • 100mA) of  
power available to get everything up and running. With  
a low USB voltage and a low USB current limit, less than  
300mW may be available to start up the device. For some  
applications (if the outputs are too heavily loaded), this  
is simply not enough power to start up the system. If the

Low power mode reduces the allowable current drawn to  
100mA, and is selected by pulling the USBHP pin low. The  
USBHP pin has a weak internal pulldown current source  
to ensure that the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 always start up in  
USB low power mode. The SUSPEND pin will disable the  
USB power manager completely, reducing the USB pin  
current to under 20μA.

pin or the switching regulator outputs are loaded too  
MAX  
heavily, the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 will be unable to regulate  
the outputs (due to insufficient input power), and an in-  
ternal protection circuit will turn off the part after 200ms.  
This protection feature is discussed in detail in the section  
entitledLoworBadBatteryProtection(200msTimeout)”.  
Once this protection circuit is tripped, USB power must  
be removed and reapplied to restart the part.  
Operation in USB Low Power Mode  
Most applications that draw power from the USB bus  
should be in low power mode only for a brief amount  
of time. Devices should 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) after the device has been  
given permission to do so by the USB host controller. The  
change to high power mode is usually very quick, so the  
full 500mA of current is available shortly after connecting  
totheUSBbus.WhiletheLTC3455/LTC3455-1willoperate  
when in low power mode, the amount of power available  
is so small that it is difficult or impossible to charge a  
battery or even provide enough current to power the rest  
of the system. For this reason, USB high power operation  
should always be used with the LTC3455/LTC3455-1.  
Several steps can be taken to help lighten the total system  
load which will help greatly when the LTC3455/LTC3455-1  
must start up in USB low power mode with no battery  
present.  
1. Minimize the load currents on the V  
pin by delaying

the turn on of all devices that are powered from V  
until after USB high power mode is available.  
MAX  
2. Minimize the load current on the output of Switcher 1  
since Switcher 1 turns on automatically whenever USB  
power is available.  
3. Delay the turn-on of Switcher 2 until after USB high  
power mode is available.  
Startup Issues in USB Low Power Mode When No  
Battery Is Present  
For some applications, USB high power mode should  
be selected during startup (at least briefly) to allow the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1toturnonproperly.StartupinUSBhigh  
power mode is typically not a problem, as more than 2W  
of power is available from the USB port in this mode.  
For applications that must operate in USB low power  
mode when no battery is present, careful attention must  
be given to how the V

Three good diode choices are the MBRM110E (1A, 10V),  
MBR120ESF (1A, 20V), and the MBRA210E (2A, 10V).  
All are available in very small packages from ON Semi-

Switching Regulator General Information  
When a 5V wall adapter is used, power is provided to the  
The LTC3455/LTC3455-1 contain two 1.5MHz constant-  
frequency current mode switching regulators that operate  
with efficiencies up to 96%. Switcher 1 provides up to  
400mA at 1.5V/1.8V (to power a microcontroller core),  
andSwitcher2providesupto500mAat3V/3.3V(topower  
microcontroller I/O, memory and other logic circuitry).  
Both converters support 100% duty cycle operation (low  
dropout mode) when the input voltage drops very close  
to the output voltage, and both are capable of operating  
in Burst Mode operation for highest efficiencies at light  
loads (Burst Mode operation is pin selectable). Switcher 2  
has independent ON/OFF control, but operates only when  
Switcher 1 is also enabled and in regulation. If both are  
enabled at power-up, Switcher 2 is allowed to turn on only  
after Switcher 1 has reached 90% of its final value. This  
power-up delay ensures proper supply sequencing and  
reduces the peak battery current at startup. If the output  
of Switcher 1 drops to below 85% of its programmed  
output voltage, Switcher 2 will turn off. This ensures that  
any problems with the core supply will shut down the rest  
of the system.

pin through a Schottky diode. The most important  
MAX  
specification in picking this diode is its reverse leakage  
current. When the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are turned on but  
wall power is not present, the Schottky will leak current to  
ground through the WALLFB resistor divider (see Figure  
5). This leakage current should be minimized (by pick-  
ing an appropriate low-leakage Schottky diode) as it can  
dramatically reduce Burst Mode efficiency at light loads.  
In addition, a high leakage current can also false trip the  
WALLFB pin and turn on the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 even if  
wall power is not available. To help prevent this false turn-  
on, use the WALLFB resistor values shown in Figure 5.  
The diode forward voltage drop should be around 500mV  
or less at its maximum rated current to allow charging  
even when the wall adapter voltage is lower than normal.  
Some manufacturers have recently introduced Schottky  
diodes optimized for a very low forward drop, but their  
reverse leakage currents can be more than 100μA at  
room temperature, and over 1mA at high temperatures.  
These diodes are not recommended for use with the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1, but if they are used operation at  
high temperature should be checked thoroughly to avoid  
problems due to excessive diode leakage current.

Switching Regulator Inductor Selection  
Switching Regulator Output Capacitor Selection  
Many different sizes and shapes of inductors are avail-  
able from numerous manufacturers. Choosing the right  
inductor from such a large selection of devices can be  
overwhelming, but following a few basic guidelines will  
make the selection process much simpler. To maximize  
efficiency, choose an inductor with a low DC resistance.  
Keep inmind thatmostinductors thatarevery thin orhave  
a very small volume typically have much higher core and  
DCR losses, and will not give the best efficiency.  
LowESR(equivalentseriesresistance)ceramiccapacitors  
should be used at both switching regulator outputs. Only  
X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors should be used because  
they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and tem-  
perature ranges than other ceramic types. A 10μF output

a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult  
each manufacturer for detailed information on their entire

Choose an inductor with a DC current rating at least 1.5

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
USB Pin and Wall Adapter Capacitor Selection  
The USB and wall adapter inputs should be bypassed with  
a 4.7μF to 10μF capacitor. For some applications, the wall  
input can be bypassed locally with a lower value (down to  
1μF),butonlyifotherbulkcapacitanceispresent.TheUSB  
pin should always have at least 4.7μF. Ceramic capacitors  
(only type X5R or X7R) are typically the best choice due to  
their small size and good surge current ratings, but care  
must be taken when they are used. When ceramic capaci-  
tors are used for input bypassing, a 1Ω series resistor  
must be added to prevent overvoltage ringing that often  
occurs when these inputs are hot-plugged. A tantalum,  
OS-CON, or electrolytic capacitor can be used in place of  
the ceramic and resistor, as their higher ESR reduces the  
Q, thus reducing the voltage ringing.

Protecting the USB Pin and Wall Adapter Input from  
Overvoltage Transients  
Cautionmustbeexercisedwhenusingceramiccapacitors  
to bypass the USB pin or the wall adapter inputs. High  
voltage transients can be generated when the USB or wall  
adapter is hot plugged. When power is supplied via the  
USB bus or wall adapter, the cable inductance along with  
the self resonant and high Q characteristics of ceramic  
capacitors can cause substantial ringing which can easily  
exceed the maximum voltage pin ratings and damage the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1. Refer to Linear Technology Applica-  
tionNote88,entitledCeramicInputCapacitorsCanCause  
Overvoltage Transients” for a detailed discussion of this  
problem. The long cable lengths of most wall adapters  
and USB cables makes them especially susceptible to this  
problem.TobypasstheUSBpinandthewalladapterinput,  
add a 1Ω resistor in series with a ceramic capacitor to  
lower the effective Q of the network and greatly reduce the  
ringing. A tantalum, OS-CON, or electrolytic capacitor can  
be used in place of the ceramic and resistor, as their higher  
ESR reduces the Q, thus reducing the voltage ringing.  
Evenwiththeadditional1Ωresistor,baddesigntechniques  
and poor board layout can often make the overvoltage  
problem even worse. System designers often add extra  
inductance in series with input lines in an attempt to mini-  
mize the noise fed back to those inputs by the application.  
In reality, adding these extra inductances only makes the  
overvoltage transients worse. Since cable inductance is  
one of the fundamental causes of the excessive ringing,  
adding a series ferrite bead or inductor increases the ef-  
fective cable inductance, making the problem even worse.  
For this reason, do not add additional inductance (ferrite  
beads or inductors) in series with the USB or wall adapter  
inputs.Forthemostrobustsolution,6Vtransorbsorzener  
diodes may also be added to further protect the USB and

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
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.Figure10showsthebatterycurrentduringstartup.  
A soft-start cycle occurs whenever each switcher first  
turns on, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal  
shutdown or UVLO).  
externalpowerisavailable.Forsomeapplications,itmaybe  
undesirable for the charger to become active immediately  
when external power is applied. For such applications,  
an NMOS switch can be used to disconnect the R  
PROG  
resistor and allow the PROG pin to float high, turning off  
the charger. In this manner, charging occurs only when  
allowed by the microcontroller.  
The LTC3455/LTC3455-1 battery chargers are constant-  
current, constant-voltage chargers. In constant-current  
mode, the maximum charge current is set by a single  
external resistor. When the battery approaches the final  
float voltage, the charge current begins to decrease as the  
charger switches to constant-voltage mode. The charge  
cycle is terminated only by the charge timer.  
In-Rush Current Limiting

internal 0.15Ω PMOS switch connects the battery (V

pin to provide power for both switchers

LTC3455/LTC3455-1 will start a new charge cycle. This  
action will continue until the battery voltage exceeds the  
4.05V threshold. This operation is typically seen only  
when charging from USB power. Because the charge cur-  
rent can vary dramatically when the LTC3455/LTC3455-1

a battery using the USB supply (as compared to a wall

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  
If the battery is above the 4.05V threshold when a charge  
cycle has expired, charging will stop. At this point, a  
recharge cycle is initiated if any of the following occurs:  
The battery voltage drops below 4.05V, external power is  
removed and reapplied, the PROG pin is floated temporar-  
ily, or the SUSPEND pin is temporarily pulled high (if the  
LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are under USB power).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Programming Charge Current  
and the CHRG pin assumes a high impedance state. The  
total charge time is programmed as:  
The maximum charge current is programmed using one  
external resistor connected between the PROG pin and  
GND (use the closest 1% resistor value):

TIMER  
TIMER  
Formostapplications,atwotothreehourtimerwillprovide  
sufficient time to completely recharge the battery. But for  
some applications with larger capacity batteries, four to  
fivehoursofchargingmaybeneeded. Apotentialproblem  
arises with setting such long timer periods (longer than 3  
hours): If the battery is just below the recharge threshold  
(meaning it is almost fully charged) it will still be charged  
for the total timer period when external power is applied.  
This means that the battery will be continually charged  
at a very, very low charge current for the full four to five  
hours, even if the battery reaches the float voltage right  
away.Thistypeofchargingisundesirableforsomebattery  
applications, and can be avoided by choosing a shorter  
timer period (but not less than 1 hour). At the end of a  
chargecycle,theLTC3455willmeasurethebatteryvoltage  
to see if it is above the 4.05V recharge threshold. If it is  
not above 4.05V, a new charge cycle will begin, repeating  
until the battery voltage is above 4.05V. Even if the bat-  
tery charges to just above the 4.05V threshold using this  
shorter timer method, more than 90% charge capacity  
should easily be reached (Note: The LTC3455-1 recharge  
threshold is 3.95V instead of 4.05V).

Trickle Charge and Defective Battery Detection  
Ifthebatteryvoltageisbelow2.85Vatthebeginningofthe

reducing the charge current to 10% of its programmed  
full-scale value. If the low battery voltage remains for one  
quarteroftheprogrammedtotalchargetime,thebatteryis  
assumedtobedefective,thechargecycleisterminated,and  
the CHRG pin goes to a high impedance state. This fault is  
cleared if any of the following occurs: The battery voltage  
risesabove2.85V,externalpowerisremovedandreapplied,  
the PROG pin is floated temporarily, or the SUSPEND pin  
is temporarily pulled high (if the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are  
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.

An internal thermal limit reduces the charge current if  
the die temperature attempts to rise above approximately  
105°C. This protects the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 from ex-  
cessive temperature, and allows the user to push the  
limits of the power handling capability of a given circuit  
board without risk of damaging the LTC3455/LTC3455-1.  
Another benefit of the thermal limit is that charge current

A current limited Hot Swap output is provided for power-  
ing memory cards or other external devices that can be  
hot-plugged into the system. Typically connected to the  
3.3V supply, this output provides isolation to prevent the  
external device from disturbing the 3.3V supply when  
inserted. The Hot Swap output can only operate when  
the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are on, and is enabled using the  
HSON pin. If this hot-plugging protection is not needed,  
this output can be used as a load switch for other devices  
within the system. The HSO pin is discharged to ground  
when the LTC3455/LTC3455-1 are shut down.

unbroken ground plane below these components that is  
tied to the Exposed Pad of the LTC3455/LTC3455-1. The  
Exposed Pad (pin 25) must be soldered to the PCB (to  
system ground) for proper operation. Figure 15 shows  
the recommended placement for the power sections of  
the LTC3455/LTC3455-1.  
Gain Block  
The LTC3455/LTC3455-1 contain a gain block (pins AI  
and AO) that can be used as either a low-battery indicator,  
or as an LDO with the addition of an external PNP. Both  
circuits are shown in Figure 14. The LDO is convenient for  
applicationsneedingathirdoutput(possiblyalowcurrent  
2.5V or a quiet 3V supply). The AO pin can sink around  
1mA, which typically limits the LDO current to 100mA  
or less (due to the current gain of the PNP). An external  
PMOS can be used for the LDO, but a much larger output  
capacitor is needed to ensure stability at light loads.

enough time to follow proper shutdown procedures when  
the main power source is abruptly removed. Figure 14  
shows a standalone power supply for USB high power

Figure 17. LTC3455/LTC3455-1 Application with 3.3V Output Current Increased to 1.2A  
Increasing 3.3V Output Current to 1.2A  
WhentheloadcurrentexceedswhatSwitcher2canprovide,  
the 3.3V output droops slightly and the LDO provides the  
additional current needed. Figure 18 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.  
Withaninternalcurrentlimitof900mA,Switcher2typically  
provides a 3.3V, 600mA output. While this output current  
is sufficient for many portable devices, some applications  
need a 3.3V supply capable of providing more than 1A.  
Figure 17 shows how to implement a higher current 3.3V  
output using the LTC3455/LTC3455-1. By adding one tiny  
SOT23 PMOS and using the AI/AO amplifier as an LDO,  
the 3.3V output now provides 1.2A of output current.  
Switcher 2 is programmed for an output voltage of 3.3V,  
and the LDO is programmed for an output voltage of 3.2V  
(3% lower). As long as the load current is low enough for  
Switcher 2 to provide, the LDO is turned off completely.  
This circuit is ideal for applications that need the higher  
3.3V output current for only a brief time. Switcher 2 will  
normallyprovidealloftheoutputcurrent, andtheLDOwill  
turn on briefly to provide the higher load currents.
