DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
The LTC®3785 is a high power synchronous buck-boost  
controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFETs from  
input voltages above, below and equal to the output volt-  
age. With an input range of 2.7V to 10V, the LTC3785 is  
well suited for a wide variety of single or dual cell Li-Ion  
or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH applications.  
Single Inductor Architecture Allows V Above,

OUT  
2.7V to 10V Input and Output Range  
Up to 96% Efficiency  
Up to 10A of Output Current

SENSE  
True Output Disconnect During Shutdown  
Programmable Current Limit and Soft-Start  
Optional Short-Circuit Shutdown Timer  
Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection  
Programmable Frequency: 100kHz to 1MHz  
Selectable Burst Mode® Operation  
Available in 24-Lead (4mm × 4mm) Exposed Pad  
QFN Package  
The operating frequency can be programmed from  
100kHz to 1MHz. The soft-start time and current limit are  
also programmable. The soft-start capacitor doubles as  
the fault timer which can program the IC to latch off or  
recycle after a determined off time. Burst Mode opera-  
tion is user controlled and can be enabled by driving the  
MODE pin high.  
Protection features include foldback current limit, short-  
circuit and overvoltage protection.

(Pin 4): Overvoltage and Undervoltage Sense.  
RUN/SS (Pin 1): Run Control and Soft-Start Input. An  
internal 1µA charges the soft-start capacitor and will  
charge to approximately 2.5V. During a current limit fault,  
the soft-start capacitor will incrementally discharge. Once  
the pin drops below 1.225V the IC will enter fault mode,  
turning off the outputs for 32 times the soft-start time. If  
>5µA (at RUN/SS = 1.225V) is applied externally, the part  
will latch off after a fault is detected. If >40µA (at RUN/SS  
= 1.225V) is applied externally, current limit faults will not  
discharge the SS capacitor.  
SENSE  
The overvoltage threshold is internally set 10% above  
the regulated FB voltage and the undervoltage threshold  
is internally set 6.5% below the FB regulated voltage. This  
pin can be tied to FB but to optimize the response time it  
is recommended that a voltage divider from V  
be ap-

to achieve the desired UV or OV threshold.

predominant inductor loss at light loads. Turning on  
switch C causes reverse recovery current loss in boost

the input current is the best indicator of changes in  
efficiency. If you make a change and the input current
