The 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC voltage mode converter
generates a user-programmable output voltage rail from
1.8V to 5V. Utilizing a proprietary switching algorithm,
the buck-boost converter maintains high efficiency and
low noise operation with input voltages that are above,
below or equal to the required output rail. The buck-boost
error amplifier uses a fixed 0.8V reference and the output
voltage is set by an external resistor divider. Burst Mode

The LTC3589 operates over an input supply range of 2.7V

output voltages.

The always-on LDO1 provides a resistor programmable

LDO Regulator 4
LDO4 has four output voltage options that are controlled
by the contents of command register bits L2DTV2[6]
and L2DTV2[5]. When pin EN_LDO34 is low, LDO3 and
LDO4 are controlled by writing to command register
bits OVEN[5] and OVEN[6] respectively. By default, the
LTC3589 pin EN_LDO34 enables and disables LDO3
and LDO4 simultaneously when command register bits
OVEN[5] and OVEN[6] are low. When command register
bit L2DTV2[7] is high, control of LDO4 is disconnected
from pin EN_LDO34 and controlled by command register
bit OVEN[6] regardless of the status of EN_LDO34. The
LTC3589-1/LTC3589-2 pin EN_LDO3 enables only LDO3.

STEP-DOWN SWITCHING REGULATORS
Operating Modes
Thestep-downswitchingregulatorsincludethreepossible
operating modes to meet the noise and power needs of a
variety of applications.
Output Voltage Programming
Each of the step-down converters uses a dynamically
slewing DAC output for its reference. The full-scale output
voltage is set by using a resistor divider connected from
the step-down switching regulator output to the feedback
pins (B1_FB, B2_FB, and B3_FB), as shown in Figure 3.
Set the output voltage of step-down switching regulators
using the following formula:
In pulse-skipping mode, at the start of every cycle, a latch
is set that turns on the main P-channel MOSFET switch.
During the cycle, a current comparatorcompares the peak
inductor current to the output of an error amplifier. The
outputofthecurrentcomparatorresetsthelatch.Atthistime
the P-channel MOSFET switch turns off and the N-channel
MOSFET synchronous rectifier turns on. The N-channel
MOSFETsynchronousrectifierwillturnoffwhentheendof
the clock cycle is reached or if the inductor current drops
through zero. Using this method of operation, the error
amplifier adjusts the peak inductor current to deliver the
required output power. All necessary loop compensation
is internal to the step-down switching regulator requiring
only a single ceramic output capacitor for stability. At light
loads in pulse-skipping mode, the inductor current may
reach zero on each pulse that will turn off the N-channel
MOSFET synchronous rectifier. In this case the switch
node (SW1, SW2, or SW3) goes HIGH impedance and the
switch node will ring. This is discontinuous operation and
is normal behavior for a switching regulator. At very light
loads in pulse-skipping mode, the step-down switching
regulators will automatically skip pulses as needed to

When the LTC3589 step-down switching regulators are in
Burst Mode operation, they automatically switch between
fixed frequency pulse-skipping operation and hysteretic
Burst Mode control as a function of the load current. At
light loads the step-down switching regulators control
the inductor current directly and use a hysteretic control
loop to minimize both noise and switching losses. While
in Burst Mode operation, the output capacitor is charged
to a voltage slightly higher than the regulation point. The
step-down switching regulator then goes into a low power
sleep mode during which the output capacitor provides
the load current. In sleep mode, most of the switching
regulator’s circuitry is powered off to conserve battery
power.Whentheoutputvoltagedropsbelowtheregulation

Soft-start is accomplished by gradually increasing the

The step-down switching regulators contain new patent
pending circuitry to limit the edge rate of the switch
nodes SW1, SW2, and SW3. This new circuitry controls
the transition of the switch node over a period of a few

conducted supply noise while maintaining high efficiency.

by lowering the peak current to be closer to the average
output current. Larger inductors, however, generally
have higher series resistance that counters the efficiency
advantage of reduced peak current.
Operation at lower frequency improves efficiency by
reducing internal gate charge and switching losses but
requires larger inductance and capacitance values for
comparable output ripple voltage. The lowest duty cycle
of the step-down switching regulator is determined by
the converters minimum on-time. Minimum on-time is
the shortest time duration that the converter is capable of
turning its top PMOS on and off again. The time consists
of the gate charge time plus internal delays associated
with peak current sensing. The minimum on-time of the
LTC3589 is approximately 90ns. If the duty cycle falls
below what can be accommodated by the minimum on-
time, the converter will begin to skip cycles. The output
voltage will continue to be regulated but the ripple voltage
and current will increase. With the switching frequency
set to 2.25MHz, the minimum supported duty cycle is
20%. Switching at 1.125MHz the converter can support
a 10% duty cycle.

BUCK-BOOST SWITCHING REGULATOR
The value of R1 plays a role in setting the dynamics of
the buck-boost voltage mode control loop. In general, a
larger value for R1 will increase stability but reduce the
speed of the transient response. A good starting point is
to choose R1 equal to 1MΩ and calculate the value of R2
needed to set the target output voltage. If a large output
capacitorisused,thebandwidthoftheconverterisreduced
and R1 may be reduced to improve transient response. If
a large inductor or small output capacitor is used then a
larger R1 should be used to bring the loop toward more
stable operation.

Table 10 shows the I C command registers used to
control the operating modes of the LTC3589 buck-boost
converter. When command register SCR1 bit 6 is LOW,
the LTC3589 buck-boost switching regulator operates
in a fixed frequency pulse width modulation mode using
voltage mode feedback control. A proprietary switching
algorithm allows the converter to transition between
buck, buck-boost, and boost modes without discontinuity
in inductor current or loop characteristics. The switch
topology is shown in the application circuit in Figure 4.
When the LTC3589 buck-boost is not enabled, a 2.5k pull-
down resistor is connected between BB_OUT and ground.
Soft-Start
The buck-boost converter has an internal voltage mode
soft-start circuit that ramps the buck-boosts error amp
reference from 0V to 800mV at a rate of 2V/ms. During
soft-start, the converter is regulating to the ramping
reference and will respond to output load transients.
During soft-start the buck-boost converter is forced into
continuous mode operation regardless of the state of the
SCR1 command register.
When the input voltage is significantly greater than the
output voltage, the buck-boost converter operates in
buck mode. Switch D turns on continuously and switch C
remains off. Switches A and B are pulse width modulated
to produce the required duty cycle to support the output
regulationvoltage.Astheinputvoltagedecreases,switchA
remains on for a larger portion of the switching cycle.
When the duty cycle reaches approximately 85%, the
switch pair AC begins turning on for a small fraction of the
switching period. As the input voltage decreases further,
the AC switch pair remains on for longer durations and
the duration of the BD phase decreases proportionately.
As the input voltage drops below the output voltage, the
AC phase will eventually increase to the point that there is
no longer any BD phase. At this point, switch A remains
on continuously while switches CD operate as a boost
converter to regulate the desired output voltage.
Current Limit Operation
The LTC3589 buck-boost regulator has current limit
circuits to limit forward current through the A switch and
reversecurrentthroughtheDswitch.Theprimaryforward
current limit circuit injects a small fraction of the induc-
tor current into the feedback node whenever the inductor
current exceeds 2.7A (typical). Forcing the current into
the feedback node in the high gain feedback circuit has
the effect of lowering the output voltage until the aver-
age current in switch A is equal to the current limit. The
average limit uses the error amplifier in its active linear
state so once the fault condition is removed the recovery
is smooth with little overshoot.
The buck-boost is set to Burst Mode operation by writing
a 1 to command register SCR1 bit 6. Using Burst Mode
operation at light loads improves efficiency and reduces
standby current at zero loads. In Burst Mode operation,
theinductorischargedwithburstsoffixedpeakamplitude
current pulses. The current pulses are repeated as often
as necessary to maintain the target output voltage. The
maximumoutputcurrentthatcanbesuppliedinBurstMode
operation is dependent upon the input and output voltage.
A hard short on the output of the buck-boost will cause the
inductor current to exceed the 2.7A average current limit.
A second current limit turns off switch A in the event peak
inductor current reaches 3A (typical). The instantaneous
forwardcurrentlimitprovidesextraprotectionintheevent
of a sudden hard short.
The reverse current comparator on the D switch moni-
tors the current entering the BB_OUT pin. When this
current exceeds 1A (typical) switch D will turn off for the
remainder of the switching cycle. This feature protects
the buck-boost converter from excessive reverse current
if the buck-boost output is held above the regulation point
by an external source.

FUNCTION
Low ESR ceramic capacitors should be used at both the
output and input supply of the buck-boost switching
regulator. 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 22µF capacitor is sufficient for the buck-boost switch-
ing regulator output. For good transient response and
stability the output capacitor should retain at least 10µF of
capacitance over operating temperature and bias voltage.

400ms (PB400ms) or until PWR_ON is activated by the
PWR_ON pin. When the controller enters the PUP state
the open-drain WAKE pin releases HIGH. The WAKE pin
is typically used to enable the first regulator in a start-up
sequence. The pushbutton state will stay in PUP for five
seconds before transitioning to the power-on (PON) state.
Before leaving PUP, the PWR_ON pin must be brought
HIGH by the application to indicate that the system rails
are correct. If PWR_ON is not active at the end of five
seconds the pushbutton controller will continue directly
through PON to the power-down (PDN) state and pull the
WAKE pin down. Three events will cause the pushbutton
to leave the PON state: 1) lowering the PWR_ON pin, 2)
forcing a hard reset by holding the ON pin LOW for five
seconds, and 3) a fault condition is detected. Fault condi-

monitor the PBSTAT pin to determine the pushbutton has

Power-Up and Down Using PWR_ON Pin
An alternate power-up method is to drive the PWR_ON pin
to a HIGH state. After a delay of 50ms from the PWR_ON
signal, the WAKE pin will pull HIGH to drive regulator en-
able pins. When PWR_ON is HIGH for five seconds, the
sequence controller will enter the PON state. To power
down, drive the PWR_ON pin LOW. 50ms later WAKE will

the power-down time to indicate a pushbutton hard reset
occurred. If the PWR_ON pin is LOW at the end of the
one second power-down time, the LTC3589 will remain
in standby mode. If PWR_ON is HIGH at the end of one
second and there are no fault conditions, the LTC3589 will

may be enabled and disabled individually by the system

put voltage enable command register bit OVEN[7] HIGH
disconnects each regulator from its enable pin so control
is solely through the OVEN command register. To enter

event. When a fault occurs, IRQ is latched LOW and bit
IRQSTAT[3], IRQSTAT[5], or IRQSTAT[7] is set. IRQ re-
mains LOW until the CLIRQ command is issued. When the
CLIRQ command has been issued, the IRQSTAT status bit
remains set for the one second enable inhibit time or as
long as the fault condition persists, whichever is longer.
Fault Induced Shutdown
Any of the three fault conditions will initiate a hard reset
shutdown triggering the following events: 1) A bit corre-
sponding to the fault is set in status register IRQSTAT, 2)
IRQ and WAKE pins are pulled LOW, 3) enable pin inputs
are ignored and the regulators are disabled, 4) all enable
bits and software control mode bit in the output voltage
enable OVEN command register are cleared, and 5) the
pushbutton controller is sent to the PDN state for one
second and then to POFF. Re-enabling of regulators is
inhibited until both the fault condition and the one second
time out have passed to allow regulator outputs sufficient
time to discharge. When one second timeout and the fault
condition are both passed, if PWR_ON is HIGH, WAKE will
come up and the LTC3589 will respond to any enable pins
that are also HIGH.

Each byte sent to or received from the LTC3589 must
be 8 bits long followed by an extra clock cycle for the

The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between
the master and the slave. When the LTC3589 is written to,
it acknowledges its write address and subsequent register

condition is not required for the read operation. The read
sub address is stored until a new sub address is written.
The LTC3589 has 14 writable command registers for
2
control inputs. They are accessed by the I C port via a
sub-addressed writing system.
Verify the data written to the internal data hold latches
prior to committing data to the command registers by
reading back the data before sending a STOP condition.

I C Command and Status Registers
2
Table 17 and Table 18 show the LTC3589 I C command
and status registers. System control register (SCR1) sets
the operating modes of the switching regulators. Each
step-down switching regulator has pulse-skipping, Burst
Mode operation, or forced continuous operation. The
buck-boost switching regulator can be put in continuous
or Burst Mode operation.
2
I C Bus Write Operation
The master initiates communication with the LTC3589
with a START condition and the LTC3589 write address.
If the address matches that of the LTC3589, the LTC3589
returns an acknowledge pulse. The master should then
deliver the sub address. Again the LTC3589 acknowl-
edges and the cycle is repeated for the data byte. The
data byte is transferred to an internal holding latch
upon the return of its acknowledge by the LTC3589.
Continue writing sub address and data pairs into the
holding latches. Addressing the LTC3589 is not required
for each sub address and data pair. If desired a REPEAT-
START condition may be initiated by the master where
The output voltage enable (OVEN) command register
controls the individual enables of each regulator. When
OVEN[7] is set to a logic LOW value, bits OVEN[6-0] are
ORed with their respective enable pins. When OVEN[7]
is HIGH, the input pins EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, EN_LDO2,
and EN_LDO34, are ignored and the LTC3589 regulators
respond only to the OVEN register. When the regulators
are configured in a hard wired power-up sequence, setting
OVEN[7] allows software control of individual regulators.
When the PWR_ON pin is pulled LOW all bits in the OVEN
register are reset to POR state of 0x00.

another device on the I C bus is addressed. The LTC3589
remembers the valid data it has received. Once all the
2
devices on the I C have been addressed and sent valid
data and a global STOP has been sent, the LTC3589 will
update its command latches with the data it has received.

fault condition longer than 14ms. Bit SCR2[7] does not
alter PGOOD status reporting by the IRQ pin or IRQSTAT

regulator will wait to turn on when its output is greater
than 300mV. Default POR LOW cause the LTC3589 and
LTC3589-1 regulators to wait for the output to discharge
to less than 300mV. Default POR low of the LTC3589-2
allows the regulators to start at any output voltage.

I C Sub-Addressed Reading

The LTC3589 I C interface supports random address
reading of the I C command and status registers. Before
reading a register, the registers sub address must be
written. Send a START condition followed by the LTC3589
write address followed by the sub address of the register
to be read. The sub address is now stored as a pointer to
the register. Send a REPEAT-START condition followed
by the LTC3589 read address. Following the acknowledg-
ment of its read address the LTC3589 returns one bit of

a pair of control bits in the voltage change control register
VCCR. The reference select bit selects which of two 5-bit
words are used as inputs to the regulators feedback refer-
ence DAC inputs. The slew GO bit initiates a DAC slew to
the voltage selected by the reference select bit. When the
slew is complete, the slew GO bits are reset LOW.
value. The slew rate of the output voltage is scaled by the
gain of the resistor divider network that sets the regulator
output voltage. For example, a regulator set to an output
voltage of 1.2V when the dynamic target voltage reference
is 0.75V has a gain of 1.6. Slewing the regulator output
from 1.2V to 1V requires slewing the DAC output down
125mV from 750mV to 625mV. With a VRRCR slew rate
setting of 01 the slew time of the regulator output is 71µs.
Accessing the CLIRQ command register will clear the IRQ
pin and will let the IRQ pin to release HIGH. The pin is
clearedwhentheLTC3589acknowledgesthesubaddress.
Data written to the CLIRQ command register is ignored.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS AND BOARD LAYOUT
Printed Circuit Board Power Dissipation
There are eight command registers that are used to store
the 5-bit dynamic target voltage input to the feedback
reference slewing DACs – B1DTV1, B1DTV2, B2DTV1,
B2DTV2, B3DTV1, B3DTV2, L2DTV1 and L2DTV2. The
registers ending with V2 use bits 4 through 0 to store
the V2 feedback reference voltage for the regulators. The
regulators input reference voltage is set to V2 by setting
the reference select bits HIGH in VCCR and writing to the
go bits in VCCR. The V2 voltage is also selected whenever
the VSTB pin is driven HIGH. The registers ending with
V1 use bits 4 through 0 to store the V1 feedback voltage
reference for the regulators. The regulators input refer-
ence voltage is set to V1 voltage by setting the reference
select bits LOW in command register VCCR. Whenever
a new dynamic target voltage is set, either by changing
the 5-bit value or by changing the reference select bits in
VCCR, the go bits in VCCR must be written to initiate the
dynamic voltage slew. When bit 5 in B1DTV1, B2DTV1,
B3DTV1, and L2DTV1 is LOW the PGOOD pin pulls LOW
during a dynamic voltage slew. Bits 7 and 6 in B1DTV1
set the switch DV/DT rate for all the step-down switch-
ing regulators. Bit 5 in registers B1DTV2, B2DTV2 and
B3DTV2 selects the switching frequency of step-down
switching regulators 1, 2 and 3. Writing the bit LOW sets
the switching frequency to 2.25MHz. Writing the bit HIGH
sets the switching frequency to 1.125MHz.
In order to ensure optimal performance and the ability
to deliver maximum output power to any regulator, it is
critical that the exposed ground pad on the backside of
the LTC3589 package be soldered to a ground plane on
the board. The exposed pad is the only GND connection

Failuretomakegoodthermalcontactbetweentheexposed
pad on the backside of the package and an adequately
sized ground plane will result in thermal resistances far
greater than 34°C/W.
To ensure the junction temperature of the LTC3589 die
does not exceed the maximum rated limit and to prevent
overtemperature faults, the power output of the LTC3589
must be managed by the application. The total power dis-
sipation in the LTC3589 is approximated by summing the
power dissipation in each of the switching regulators and
the LDO regulators.

mated by:

Where V is the programmed output voltage, V

1. Connect the exposed pad of the package (Pin 41)
directly to a large ground plane to minimize thermal
and electrical impedance.
2. The switching regulator input supply traces and their
decoupling capacitors should be as short as possible.
Connect the GND side of the capacitors directly to the
ground plane of the board. The decoupling capacitors
provide the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs
andtheirdrivers. Itisimportanttominimizeinductance
from the capacitors to the LTC3589 pins.
Anexampleusingtheequationsabovewiththeparameters
in Table 19 shows an application that is at the maximum
junction temperature of 125°C at an ambient temperature
of 85°C. LDO2, LDO3, and LDO4 are powered by step-
down switching regulator 2 and the buck-boost switching
regulator. The total load on those two switching regula-
tors is the sum of the application load and the LDO load.
This example is with the LDO regulators at one half rated
current and the switching regulators at three quarters
rated current.
3. Minimize the switching power traces connecting SW1,
SW2, SW3, and buck-boost switch pins SW4AB and
SW4CD to the inductors to reduce radiated EMI and
parasitic coupling. Keep sensitive nodes such as the
feedback pins away from or shielded from the large
voltage swings on the switching nodes.

The LTC3589 is optimized to support several families of
advanced portable applications processors including the
Marvell PXA3xx and PXA168 Xscale processors, the Fre-
escale i.MX family including the new i.MX53 and i.MX51,
the TI OMAP processors utilizing their Smart reflex, and
many additional ARM processors.
The LTC3589 RSTO signal is used to drive the Monahans
hard reset signal nRESET and is based on the state of
the always-active regulator output LDO1_STBY and by a
pushbutton hard reset request. The release of the RSTO
output is delayed a minimum of 10ms as required or as
long as 1s when the LTC3589 is reset using its pushbut-
ton controller.

low power state. The LTC3589 I C device address and
command register addresses map to PXA3xx command
register sub-address requirements. The LTC3589 write
address is 0x68. The key command register addresses
for PXA3xx support are the Output Voltage Enable (OVEN)
register at address 0x10. VCC_APPS/A_EN is mapped
to OVEN bit 0 (enable step-down switching regulator 1).
VCC_SRAM/S_EN is mapped to OVEN bit 2 (enable step-
down switching regulator 3). The voltage change control
register (VCCR) at command register address 0x20 con-
trols the dynamic voltage select and go bits required to
command a voltage change and slew when coming out of
low voltage standby or sleep modes into run mode. The
dynamic target voltage (xxDTV[1,2]) registers map to the
mandatory command register addresses. The full register
map for the LTC3589 shown in Table 17 and Table 18
The keep-alive function allow a step-down switching
regulator to maintain system memory during a hibernate
shutdown state of the Armada processor.
i.MX53 and i.MX51 Processor Support
The LTC3589 has hardware features specifically designed
for the latest i.MX family of processors from Freescale
Semiconductor. The i.MX53 and i.MX51 control the
VSTB input pin of the LTC3589 to command transitions
between the run mode core voltage and the lower level
standby voltage. The run and standby voltage levels are
2
initially programmed in I C command registers xxBTV1
and xxBTV2. When the VSTB pin is asserted high all four
dynamically controlled output supply rails will slew to the
xxBTV2 set point. When xxBTV1 and xxBTV2 are set at
the same value, as they are by default, then no slewing
occurs. This allows the single VSTB pin to control any
combination of the four DAC controlled regulators to slew
between two programmed output voltages. When VSTB is
de-asserted back to a zero value the regulators slew back
up to the xxBTV1 set point.

supports Monahans, hard-coded I C commands for start-
of-dayoperation,voltage-changesequence,supplyenable,
and return-to-D0 state sequence.
The LTC3589 does not specifically reference the Mona-
hans SYS_EN and PWR_EN enable pins but supports
these signals with individual enable input pins EN[1-4]
and EN_LDO[2,34] that should be hard-wired to SYS_EN
or PWR_EN as required for proper system-level power
sequencing.
