PI FU CTIO S
AIN (Pin 1): Low-Battery Detector Input Pin. The detector
compares the voltage on this pin to an 800mV reference.
Connect the resistor divider tap to this pin to set the lowbattery trip point.
AO (Pin 2): Open-Drain Digital Output. This open-drain
logic output is pulled to GND whenever the AIN pin voltage
falls lower than 0.8V.
AGND (Pin 3): Analog Ground. All resistor dividers should
be connected to this pin.
VBATT (Pin 4): Battery Input Supply. The input voltage at this
pin can range from 1.8V to 3.2V. Must be locally bypassed
with a 1F (or greater) X5R or X7R type ceramic capacitor.
SW1 (Pin 5): Switch Pin for Core Regulator. Connect the
inductor between SW1 and the output capacitor. Keep
these PCB trace lengths as short and wide as possible to
reduce EMI.
PGND (Pin 6): Power Ground. This is the ground pin for all
internal drivers and switches. Provide a short PCB path
between PGND and PCB system ground.
WALLFB (Pin 7): Wall Feedback Pin. This pin receives the
feedback voltage from an external resistor divider across
the AC wall adapter input. When the pin voltage is higher
than 1.25V, the chip is powered from the VEXT pin and the
USB switch is turned off. Ensure that the resistor ratio is
set so that the wall adapter voltage (min) is still high
enough to make VEXT > 4V. Connect to ground if not used.
EXT_PWR (Pin 8): External Power Good Pin. This opendrain logic output is pulled to GND whenever the WALLFB
pin is pulled higher than 1.25V or the USB pin voltage is
greater than 4V and SUSPEND is low. Essentially this pin
is pulled low whenever the AC adapter or the USB power
is present. When pulled low, this pin is capable of sinking
5mA suitable for driving an external LED.
VEXT (Pin 9): External Power Pin. This pin is connected to
the USB pin via an internal 0.5 (typ) PMOS switch. The
AC wall adapter can be connected to this pin through a
Schottky diode. An onboard voltage detector prevents the
IC from drawing power from this pin until the pin voltage
rises above 4V. The voltage detector for VEXT has built-in
150mV hysteresis. Connect a 10F X5R or X7R type
ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
USB (Pin 10): USB Input Supply. Input current into this pin
is limited to either 100mA or 500mA based on the state of
the USBHP pin. When the USB pin voltage is greater than
4V and SUSPEND is low, and WALLFB is less than 1.25V,
USB is connected to the VEXT pin via an internal 0.5
current limited PMOS Switch. Connect a 4.7F (X5R or
X7R type) ceramic capacitor in series with a 1 resistor
from this pin to ground.
VMAX (Pin 11): Maximum Supply Voltage Pin. A special
internal PowerPathTM controller monitors the VBATT, VINT,
VEXT and USB voltages and passes the highest available
supply voltage to the VMAX pin. This pin is used to power
some of the internal circuitry of the IC. Connect a 1F
bypass capacitor from this pin to ground. It can be used
to supply a maximum of 1mA output load. The VMAX
output voltage stays alive even when the IC is in shutdown.
USBHP (Pin 12): USB High Power Select Pin. This pin is
used to set the USB current limit. Pull high to select 500mA
current limit (High Power mode); low to select 100mA
current limit (Low Power mode). This pin has a weak pulldown current source to ensure that Low Power mode is in
effect during start-up.
SW2_BK (Pin 13): Switch Pin for Main Regulator (USB or
Wall Powered). Connect the inductor between SW2_BK
and the output voltage. Keep these PCB trace lengths as
short and wide as possible to reduce EMI.
SW2_BST (Pin 14): Switch Pin for Main Regulator (Battery Powered). Connect the inductor between SW2_BST
and VBATT. Keep these PCB trace lengths as short and wide
as possible to reduce EMI.
VINT (Pin 15): Internal Supply Voltage Pin. The VINT
voltage is regulated to 3.3V. This pin is used to power most
of the internal circuitry of the IC. Do not load this output.
Connect an output capacitor from this pin to ground.
VMAIN (Pin 16): Main Regulator Output Voltage. An internal 0.4 PMOS switch connects this pin to the VINT pin
0.8ms (typ) after the Core voltage comes into regulation.
This ensures that VMAIN will always power up after Core
output during start-up. Connect an output capacitor from
this pin to ground.

HSO (Pin 17): Hot Swap Output. An internal 0.8 current
limited PMOS switch connects this pin to the VINT pin
0.5ms after the core voltage comes into regulation. The
nominal voltage at this pin is 3.3V. It is short-circuit
protected and the current out of this pin is limited to
120mA (typ).
SUSPEND (Pin 18): USB Suspend Pin. Pull this pin high
to disable all USB functionality. The USB switch connected
between USB and VEXT behaves like a back-to-back diode
whenever SUSPEND is pulled high. In Suspend mode the
device limits the current drawn from the USB port to
100A (typ).
PWRKEY (Pin 19): Power ON/OFF Key. Connecting this
pin to GND will turn on the IC. This pin is typically used with
a momentary-on pushbutton switch to turn on the LTC3456.
This pin must be held low until the PWRON pin is pulled
high (usually from a microprocessor) in order to keep the
IC turned on. This pin has a 400k pull-up resistor to VMAX.
PBSTAT (Pin 20): Power ON/OFF Key Status Pin. This
open-drain output pin indicates the state of the PWRKEY
pin to the microcontroller. The pin output follows the state
of the PWRKEY pin (PBSTAT goes low when PWRKEY is
pulled low).
PWRON (Pin 21): Power On Pin. When pulled high this
microprocessor controlled pin turns on the IC. This pin
has a weak 1A pull-down current source.
MODE (Pin 22): Burst Mode Select Pin. Tie this pin high to
allow automatic Burst Mode operation. Burst Mode operation will provide superior efficiency when any of the
outputs are operating with very low output currents. Tie
this pin low to force PWM operation under all load current
conditions. The device operates in forced PWM mode
when powered from USB or wall input (irrespective of the
state of the MODE pin). Furthermore, at initial power-up,
the device operates in forced PWM mode during the
262ms internal delay timeout. This pin has a weak 1A
pull-down current source.
RESET (Pin 23): Fault Indicator Output Pin. This opendrain output is active both at power-up and power-down.
RESET is held low at initial power up. When both the Core
and Main outputs come into regulation, an internal reset
delay timer is activated. RESET is released at the end of the
262ms timeout. If either Main or Core outputs fall out of
regulation during normal operation, RESET is pulled low.
Also, RESET is pulled low at power-off to prevent spurious
turn-on of the microprocessor.
FB1 (Pin 24): Feedback Pin for the Core Regulator. The
regulator drives the voltage at this pin to 0.8V. Connect the
resistor divider tap to this pin. The output voltage of the
core regulator can be adjusted from 0.8V to VBATT(MIN).
Exposed Pad (Pin 25): The Exposed Pad must be soldered
to the PCB system ground.

OPERATIO
INTRODUCTION
OPERATING MODES
Battery Powered
The LTC3456 is designed to accept an input battery
voltage range from 1.8V to 3.2V. This range is ideal for
2-cell Alkaline, NiCd or NiMH designs. Figure 2 shows an
LTC3456 being powered from two AA cells.
When enabled, the internal supply voltage VINT (3.3V) is
generated via the boost regulator. VINT is used to power
the bandgap reference, drivers and other internal circuitry.
Core output (1.8V) comes up next via the buck regulator.
Main output and the Hot Swap output are powered up with
a delay after the core output is in regulation.

OPERATIO
USB Powered
The USBHP pin is used to set the USB current limit to either
100mA or 500mA. This pin has a weak 2.5A pull-down
current source to ensure that Low Power mode is in effect
during start-up. If the USBHP pin is held low, it limits the
input power drawn from the USB port. The USB port can
supply the Core output (1.8V at 200mA) effortlessly in Low
Power mode (USBHP = 0V). However, the loading on the
3.3V output must be held below 100mA (typ) when the
USB is in low power mode. If the loading on 3.3V output
is increased beyond 100mA (typ), the USB port is unable
to supply the load current and the LTC3456 will switch
between the battery and the USB port. This results in
undesirable switching noise and increased voltage ripple
at the 3.3V output.

5V/DIV
VINT Output
The main regulator produces a fixed 3.3V output from a
1.8V to 3.2V input (2-cell battery), USB port or AC adapter
input supply. The main regulator output, VINT, is used to
power most of the internal circuitry of the IC. It is the first
one to power-up. Connect a 22F or higher X5R or X7R
type ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
The loading on this output should be limited to 20mA.
Refer to the Minimum Start-Up Battery Voltage vs
VINT Output Current graph in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
When the IC is turned off, the VINT output voltage is
discharged to ground.
Output Disconnect and Inrush Limiting
The LTC3456 allows true output disconnect when powered off the battery (boost topology). It achieves this by
disconnecting the body diode of the synchronous PMOS
switch from the output. This allows the VINT to go to
ground during shutdown. Do not connect a Schottky diode
from SW2_BST to VINT; doing so will defeat the output
disconnect feature.
The LTC3456 also features inrush current limiting at
power-up (battery powered). Inrush current in boost
converters is important when powering from input sources
with high input impedance like alkaline cells. The LTC3456
incorporates an inrush current limiting scheme that regulates the inrush current to 600mA (typ) during power-up.
Figure 5 shows inrush current when the device is powered
up from the battery.
Short-Circuit Protection
The LTC3456 features short-circuit protection for the main
regulator output. When the main regulator is powered
from the USB or wall input, it operates in a buck topology.

OPERATIO
Hot Swap Output
CORE REGULATOR
After the VINT and Core output voltages come into regulation, the HSO pin is connected to VINT via a 0.8 (typ) PMOS
switch after a delay of 0.5ms. The PMOS switch has a
120mA built-in current limit. When a flash memory card is
plugged into the system, the input bypass capacitors are
slowly charged up to 3.3V with the preset 120mA current
limit. Figure 6 shows the switching waveforms with Hot
Swap output short-circuited. As seen in the figure, the shortcircuited current out of the HSO pin is well regulated.
The LTC3456 also features reverse-voltage blocking capability for the HSO pin. In the event the HSO pin voltage rises
greater than 3.3V (VINT pin voltage), the internal PMOS
switch is turned off and behaves like a back-to-back diode.
During shutdown, the Hot Swap output is discharged to
ground via internal pull-down resistors.

OPERATIO
The LTC3456 incorporates additional features like output
short-circuit protection and thermal regulation. When the
core regulator output (VCORE) is shorted to ground, the
LTC3456s unique control scheme prevents inductor current runaway.
Dropout Operation
The LTC3456 is capable of operating at 100% duty cycle
when powered from the battery. If the input supply voltage
decreases to a value close to the output voltage, the core
regulator will run at 100% duty cycle. The output voltage
is then determined by the input voltage minus the voltage
drop across the PMOS switch and the inductor. When
running off the USB or the AC adapter, this situation never
arises (there is plenty of voltage headroom).
When the LTC3456 operates with low input supply voltage, say 1.8V (fully discharged two AA cells) the maximum
allowable output current gets reduced. Figure 7 shows the
reduction in the maximum output current as a function of
input voltage for various output voltages.

RESET
The LTC3456 contains a RESET circuitry that is active
during both power-up and shutdown. The RESET pin is
held low during initial power-up. When both the VINT and
Core outputs come into regulation, a reset delay timer gets
activated. There is a full 262ms timeout before RESET is
released. During power-off mode RESET is pulled low.
This prevents the microprocessor from entering into any
spurious operating mode.
MODE
The LTC3456 has a user selectable MODE pin. When the
MODE pin is pulled logic high and the LTC3456 is battery
powered, the device will automatically enter into Burst
Mode operation under light load current situations. If the
load current in either of the regulators falls below a
predetermined value, the regulator will enter into Burst
Mode operation independent of the other regulator. When
the MODE pin is connected to ground, continuous PWM
operation is selected. It provides the lowest output voltage
ripple and current ripple, albeit at the cost of lower
efficiency under light load conditions.

VOLTAGE MONITORS
Low-Battery Detection
The LTC3456 has an on-chip gain block that can be used
for low-battery detection. The low-battery trip point can be
set by two resistors (Figure 10). The nominal voltage at
AIN is 0.8V. If the voltage at AIN falls below 0.8V, AO sinks
current to ground.
The battery minimum voltage can be set according to the
formula:
R2
VBATT(MIN) = 0.8 V 1 +
R1
The AIN input bias current is quite low, on the order of 2nA
(typ). Large resistor values (R2 ~ 100k) can be used in the
divider network. This helps in minimizing the loading on
the battery. AO is an open-drain logic output. The voltage
at AIN must always be kept less than 2V. If the gain block
is not used then connect AIN to ground.
There is no built-in hysteresis in the gain block. Hysteresis
can be added by connecting resistor R4 from AIN to AO as
shown in Figure 10. Ensure that R4 10R3 for correct
operation. With the values shown in Figure 10b, the circuit
has 180mV of hysteresis.

The IL is typically set to 20% to 40% of the maximum
inductor current.
The inductor should have a saturation current rating
greater than the peak inductor current required for the
application. Also, ensure that the inductor has a low DCR
(copper wire resistance) to minimize I2R power losses.
Several inductors that work well with the LT3456 are listed
in Table 1. Consult each manufacturer for more detailed
