LTC3675 7-Channel Configurable High Power PMIC FEATURES DESCRIPTION n The LTC®3675 is a digitally programmable high efficiency multioutput power supply plus dual string LED driver IC optimized for high power single cell Li-Ion/Polymer applications. The DC/DCs consist of four synchronous buck converters (1A/1A/500mA/500mA), one synchronous boost DC/DC (1A), and one buck-boost DC/DC (1A) all powered from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The 40V LED driver can regulate up to 25mA of current through two LED strings with up to 10 LEDs each. The LED driver may also be configured as a general purpose high voltage boost converter. n n n n n n n n n n n Four Monolithic Synchronous Buck DC/DCs (1A/1A/500mA/500mA) Buck DC/DCs Can Be Paralleled to Deliver Up to 2× Current with a Single Inductor Independent 1A Boost and 1A Buck-Boost DC/DCs Dual String I2C Controlled 40V LED Driver I2C Programmable Output Voltage, Operating Mode, and Switch Node Slew Rate for All DC/DCs I2C Read Back of DC/DC, LED Driver, Fault Status I2C Programmable VIN and Die Temperature Warnings Maskable Interrupts to Report DC/DC, VIN and Die Temperature Faults Pushbutton ON/OFF/RESET Always-On 25mA LDO Low Quiescent Current: 16μA (All DC/DCs Off) 4mm × 7mm × 0.75mm 44-Lead QFN Package APPLICATIONS n n n High Power (5W to 10W) Single Cell Li-Ion/Polymer Applications Portable Industrial Applications, Handy Terminals, Portable Instruments Multioutput Low Voltage Power Supplies DC/DC enables, output voltages, switch slew rates and operating modes may all be independently programmed over I2C or used in standalone mode via simple I/O and power-up defaults. The buck DC/DCs may be used independently or paralleled to achieve higher output currents with a shared inductor. LED enable, 60dB brightness control and up/down gradation are programmed using I2C. Alarm levels for low VIN and high die temperature may also be programmed via I2C with a maskable interrupt output to monitor DC/DC and system faults. Pushbutton ON/OFF/RESET control and a power-on reset output provide flexible and reliable power-up sequencing. The LTC3675 is available in a low profile (0.75mm), thermally enhanced 44-lead 4mm × 7mm QFN package.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LTC3675 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from the 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note 3: The LTC3675 includes overtemperature protection which protects the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. Note 4: Static current, switches not switching. Actual current may be higher due to gate charge losses at the switching frequency. Note 5: Currents measured at a specific VIN pin. Buck 1 (VIN, Pin 6); Buck 2 (VIN, Pin 7); Buck 3 and Buck 4 (VIN, Pin 10); Boost and Buck Boost (VIN, Pin 34); LED driver (VIN, Pin 31). Note 6: The current limit features of this part are intended to protect the IC from short term or intermittent fault conditions. Continuous operation above the maximum specified pin current rating may result in device degradation over time. Note 7: With dual string operation, the LED pin with the lower voltage sets the regulation point. 3675f 7 LTC3675 TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Undervoltage Threshold vs Temperature Input Supply

All of the switching regulators and the LED driver are internally compensated and need only external feedback resistors for regulation. The switching regulators also offer two operating modes: Burst Mode operation for higher efficiency at light loads and pulse-skipping/PWM mode. In Burst Mode operation at light loads, the output capacitor is charged to a voltage slightly higher than its regulation point. The regulator then goes into sleep, during which the output capacitor provides the load current. In sleep most of the regulator’s circuitry is powered down, helping conserve battery power. When the output capacitor droops below its programmed value, the circuitry is powered on and another burst cycle begins. The sleep time decreases as load current increases. All switching regulators and LED driver may be configured via I2C, providing the user with the flexibility to operate the LTC3675 in the most efficient manner. I2C commands can also be read back via the I2C port, to ensure a command was not corrupted during a transmission. All the regulators can be enabled via I2C commands. The buck regulators and the buck-boost regulator may also be enabled via enable pins. The enable pins have two different enable threshold voltages that depend on the operating state of the LTC3675. With all regulators disabled, the enable pin threshold is at 650mV. If any regulator is enabled either by its enable pin or an I2C command, then the enable pin thresholds are at 400mV. A precision comparator detects a voltage greater than 400mV on the enable pin and turns that regulator on. This precision threshold may be used to sequentially enable regulators. If all regulators are disabled, all the command registers are set in their default state. There are also 2 bytes of data that report any fault conditions on the LTC3675 via I2C read back. The buck regulators can operate in either of two modes. In pulse-skipping mode, the regulator will skip pulses at light loads but will operate at a constant frequency of 2.25MHz at higher loads. In Burst Mode operation, the regulator will burst at light loads whereas at higher loads it will operate at constant frequency PWM mode of operation, much the same as pulse-skipping mode at high load. In shutdown, an I2C control bit provides the flexibility to either keep the SW node in a high impedance state or pull the SW node to GND through a 10k resistor. The buck regulators have forward and reverse current limiting, soft-start to limit inrush current during start-up, short-circuit protection and slew rate control for lower radiated EMI. Each buck regulator may be enabled via its enable pin or I2C. The mode of operation, the feedback regulation voltage and switch slew rate can all be controlled via I2C. For applications that require higher power, buck regulators may be combined together. BUCK REGULATORS WITH COMBINED POWER STAGES Two adjacent buck regulators may be combined in a master-slave configuration by connecting their SW pins together and connecting the higher numbered buck’s FB pin to the input supply. The lower numbered buck is always the master. In Figure 1, buck regulator 1 is the master. The feedback network connected to the FB1 pin programs the VIN L1 SW1 COUT BUCK REGULATOR 1 (MASTER) EN1 1.2V 2A VOUT 400k FB1 800k VIN SW2 BUCK SWITCHING REGULATOR The LTC3675 contains four buck regulators. Two of the buck regulators are designed to deliver up to 1A load current each while the other two regulators can deliver up to 500mA each. BUCK REGULATOR 2 (SLAVE) FB2 EN2 VIN 3675 F01 Figure 1. Buck Regulators Configured as Master-Slave 3675f 17 LTC3675 OPERATION output voltage to 1.2V. The FB2 pin is tied to VIN, which configures buck regulator 2 as the slave. The SW1 and SW2 pins must be tied together. The register contents of the master program the combined buck regulator’s behavior and the register contents of the slave are ignored. The slave buck control circuitry draws no current. The enable of the master buck (EN1) controls the operation of the combined bucks, the enable of the slave regulator (EN2) is ignored. Buck regulators 2 and 3 may be configured as combined buck regulators capable of delivering up to 1.5A load current with buck regulator 2 being the master. Buck regulators 3 and 4 may be configured as combined buck regulators capable of delivering up to 1A load current with buck regulator 3 being the master. BOOST SWITCHING REGULATOR The boost regulator is capable of delivering up to 1A load current for a programmed output voltage of up to 5V. The boost regulator may be enabled only via I2C. The mode of operation, feedback regulation voltage and switch slew rate can all be controlled via I2C. The boost regulator can operate in either PWM mode or in Burst Mode operation. In PWM operating mode, the regulator operates at a constant frequency of 2.25MHz and provides a low noise solution. For light loads, Burst Mode operation offers improved efficiency. The boost regulator has forward and reverse current limiting, softstart to limit inrush current during start-up, short-circuit protection and slew rate control for lower radiated EMI. The boost regulator also features true output disconnect when in shutdown. In shutdown, an internal 10k resistor pulls the output to GND. BUCK-BOOST SWITCHING REGULATOR The buck-boost regulator is a 2.25MHz voltage mode regulator. The buck-boost regulator is capable of delivering up to 1A load current for a programmed output voltage of 3.3V. The regulator can be enabled via its enable pin or via I2C. The mode of operation, feedback regulation voltage and switch slew rate can all be controlled via I2C. The buck-boost regulator can operate in either PWM mode or in Burst Mode operation. The PWM operating mode provides a low noise solution. For light loads, Burst Mode operation offers improved efficiency. The buck-boost regulator has forward current limiting, soft-start to limit inrush current during start-up, short-circuit protection and slew rate control for lower radiated EMI. When the output voltage is below 2.65V (typical) during start-up, Burst Mode operation is disabled and switch D is turned off. The forward current is carried by the switch D well diode and there is no reverse current flowing in this condition. In shutdown, an internal 10k resistor pulls the output to GND. LED DRIVER The LED driver uses a constant frequency, current mode boost converter to supply power to up to two strings of 10 series LEDs. The series string of LEDs is connected from the output of the boost converter to an LED pin. The LED pin is a programmable constant current sink. The boost converter will regulate its output to force the LED pin to 300mV. The percentage of full-scale current sunk by the LED pin is programmed via I2C. The LED boost converter is designed for very high duty cycle operation and can boost from below 3V to 40V out at up to 55mA. The LED boost also features an overvoltage protection feature to limit the output voltage in case of an open circuit in an LED string. The boost converter will operate in either continuous conduction mode, discontinuous conduction mode or pulse-skipping mode depending on the inductor current required for regulation. The boost converter may also be configured to operate as an independent high voltage boost regulator via I2C. The LED driver may also be configured as a single string LED driver. When driving a single string, LED1 and LED2 should be tied together. The LED driver features a fully automatic gradation circuit. This circuit allows the current to ramp up or down at a controlled rate between any two current levels. On power-up the LED DAC register is set to 0. To enable the LED driver a non-zero value must be programmed into this register. The gradation circuit will then ramp the current to the 3675f 18 LTC3675 OPERATION programmed value at a rate determined by the gradation rate bits. Once the LED driver reaches this value it will regulate that current until programmed otherwise. If a new value is programmed in the LED brightness register, the LED driver’s current will ramp up or down at the programmed rate until that current is reached. To disable the LED driver, a code of zero is programmed in the LED DAC register. The gradation circuit will then ramp the current down at the programmed rate. Once the current reaches zero the gradation circuit will disable the boost and the entire LED driver will enter shutdown mode. The LED driver is protected by the LED_OV pin. This pin acts as a secondary feedback path that limits the voltage on the output capacitor. A feedback divider is placed from the LED boost’s output to the LED_OV pin. Values for this divider are selected to limit the output voltage similarly to the feedback dividers discussed in “Switching Regulator Output Voltage and Feedback Network” in the Applications Information section. The LED driver begins to transition to LED_OV control at 800mV and is fully controlled by the LED_OV pin by 825mV. During this transition the LED pins will begin to drop out of regulation. For this reason during normal operation the voltage on this pin should be kept below 800mV. The LED driver is also designed to limit the maximum voltage on the LED1 and LED2 pins to no more than 8V. The boost regulates the minimum voltage on either LED pin. If one of the LED pins is shorted to ground the boost will only drive the other LED pin up to the voltage clamp, or the LED_OV voltage, whichever is lower. If one LED string is shorted, or partially shorted, this clamp will prevent the boost from damaging the LED pin. PUSHBUTTON INTERFACE AND POWER-UP POWERDOWN SEQUENCING The LTC3675 provides pushbutton functionality to either power up or power down the part. The ONB, WAKE and PBSTAT pins provide the user with flexibility to power up or power down the part in addition to having I2C control. All PB timing parameters are scaled using the CT pin. Times described below apply to a nominal CT of 0.01μF. The LTC3675 is in an off state when it is powered up with all regulators in shutdown. The WAKE pin is LOW in the off state. The WAKE pin will go HIGH either if ONB is pulled LOW for 400ms or a regulator is enabled via its enable pin or an I2C command. The WAKE pin stays in its HIGH state for 5 seconds and then gets pulled low. WAKE will not go HIGH again if a second regulator is subsequently enabled. The LTC3675 is in an on state if either the WAKE pin is HIGH or a regulator is enabled. The PBSTAT pin reflects the status of the ONB when the LTC3675 is in an on state. Once in the on state, the LTC3675 can be powered down by holding ONB LOW for at least 5 seconds. All enabled regulators will be turned off for 1 second and the contents of the program registers are reset to their default state. This manner of power-down is called a hard reset. A hard reset may also be generated by using an I2C command. POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN VIA PUSHBUTTON The LTC3675 may be turned on and off using the WAKE pin as shown in Figures 2a and 2b. In Figures 2a and 2b, pressing ONB low at time t1, causes the WAKE pin to go high at time t2 and stay high for 5 seconds, after which WAKE is pulled low. WAKE going HIGH at t2 causes buck regulator 1 to power up, which sequentially powers up the other buck regulators. The RSTB pin gets pulled HIGH 200ms after the last enabled buck is in its PGOOD state. An application showing sequential regulator start-up is shown in the Typical Applications section (Figure 7). If an I2C command is written before the 5 second WAKE period t3 to keep the buck regulators enabled, the regulators stay enabled as shown in Figure 2b. Otherwise, when WAKE gets pulled low at t3, the buck regulators will also power down sequentially as shown in Figure 2a. In Figure 2b, ONB is held LOW at instant t4 for 5 seconds. This causes a hard reset to be generated and at t5, all regulators are powered down. 3675f 19 LTC3675 OPERATION ONB 5 sec WAKE (TIED TO EN1) PBSTAT (Hi-Z) SEQUENCE UP SEQUENCE DOWN BUCKS 1–4 RSTB 3675 F02a t3 (BUCK REGULATOR’S ENABLE IS NOT REINFORCED BY I2C BEFORE t3) t1 t2 Figure 2a.

The 2xFS mode is only intended for use when the output voltage is below 20V. With the LTC3675 in its off state, a regulator can be enabled either via its enable pin or I2C. In Figure 2c, buck regulator 1 is enabled via its enable pin at time t1. The WAKE pin goes HIGH for 5 seconds and at t2 is pulled LOW. The buck regulator stays enabled until time t3 when a hard reset command is issued via I2C. The buck regulator powers down and stays off for 1 second. At time t4, the LTC3675 exits from the power down state. Since the buck regulator 1 is still enabled via its enable pin, it powers back up. WAKE also gets pulled HIGH for 5 seconds. The RSTB pin gets pulled HIGH 200ms after the buck regulator 1 is in its PGOOD state. I2C INTERFACE The LTC3675 may communicate with a bus master using the standard I2C 2-wire interface. The timing diagram (Figure 2) shows the relationship of the signals on the bus. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be high when the bus is not in use. External pull-up resistors or current sources, such as the LTC1694 SMBus accelerator, are required on these lines. The LTC3675 is both a slave receiver and slave transmitter. The I2C control signals, SDA and SCL are scaled internally to the DVCC supply. DVCC should be connected to the same power supply as the bus pull-up resistors. LED CURRENT PROGRAMMING The LED current is primarily controlled through the LED DAC register at I2C sub-address 8. This register controls an 8 bit current DAC. A 20k resistor placed between the LED_FS pin and ground provides a current reference for the DAC which results in 98μA of programmed LED current per LSB. For example, programming a LED DAC register code of 64h will result in a LED current of 9.8mA and a full-scale setting of FFh will result in a LED current of 25mA. The I2C port has an undervoltage lockout on the DVCC pin. When DVCC is below 1V, the I2C serial port is cleared and the LTC3675 registers are set to their default configurations. I2C Bus Speed The I2C port is designed to be operated at speeds of up to 400kHz. It has built-in timing delays to ensure correct operation when addressed from an I2C compliant master device. It also contains input filters designed to suppress glitches should the bus become corrupted. The 2xFS bit which is bit 3 of the LED configuration register at sub-address 7 effectively doubles the programmed LED current. With a 20k resistor from LED_FS to ground each LSB will be 196μA.

I2C Bus Operation 3675f 21 LTC3675 OPERATION I2C Start and Stop Conditions I2C Slave Address A bus master signals the beginning of communications by transmitting a START condition. A START condition is generated by transitioning SDA from HIGH to LOW while SCL is HIGH. The master may transmit either the slave write or the slave read address. Once data is written to the LTC3675, the master may transmit a STOP condition which commands the LTC3675 to act upon its new command set. A STOP condition is sent by the master by transitioning SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The bus is then free for communication with another I2C device. The LTC3675 responds to a 7-bit address which has been factory programmed to b’0001001[R/WB]’. The LSB of the address byte, known as the read/write bit, should be 0 when writing data to the LTC3675 and 1 when reading data from it. Considering the address as an 8-bit word, the write address is 12h and the read address is 13h. The LTC3675 will acknowledge both its read and write address. I2C Byte Format Each byte sent to or received from the LTC3675 must be 8 bits long followed by an extra clock cycle for the acknowledge bit. The data should be sent to the LTC3675 most significant bit (MSB) first. I2C Acknowledge The acknowledge signal is used for handshaking between the master and the slave. When the LTC3675 is written to (write address), it acknowledges its write address as well as the subsequent two data bytes. When it is read from (read address), the LTC3675 acknowledges its read address only. The bus master should acknowledge receipt of information from the LTC3675. An acknowledge (active LOW) generated by the LTC3675 lets the master know that the latest byte of information was received. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock cycle. The LTC3675 pulls down the SDA line during the write acknowledge clock pulse so that it is a stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock pulse. When the LTC3675 is read from, it releases the SDA line so that the master may acknowledge receipt of the data. Since the LTC3675 only transmits one byte of data during a read cycle, a master not acknowledging the data sent by the LTC3675 has no I2C specific consequence on the operation of the I2C port. I2C Sub-Addressed Writing The LTC3675 has twelve command registers for control input. They are accessed by the I2C port via a sub-addressed writing system. A single write cycle of the LTC3675 consists of exactly three bytes except when a clear interrupt command is written. The first byte is always the LTC3675’s write address. The second byte represents the LTC3675’s sub-address. The sub-address is a pointer which directs the subsequent data byte within the LTC3675. The third byte consists of the data to be written to the location pointed to by the sub-address. The LTC3675 contains 11 control registers which can be written to. I2C Bus Write Operation The master initiates communication with the LTC3675 with a START condition and the LTC3675’s write address. If the address matches that of the LTC3675, the LTC3675 returns an acknowledge. The master should then deliver the sub-address. Again the LTC3675 acknowledges 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 LTC3675. This procedure must be repeated for each sub-address that requires new data. After one or more cycles of [ADDRESS][SUB-ADDRESS][DATA], the master may terminate the communication with a STOP condition. Multiple sub addresses may be written to with a single address command using a [ADDRESS][SUBADDRESS][DATA][SUB-ADDRESS][DATA] sequence. Alternatively, a REPEAT-START condition can be initiated by the master and another chip on the I2C bus can be addressed. This cycle can continue indefinitely and the LTC3675 will remember the last input of valid data that it 3675f 22 LTC3675 OPERATION Table 1. Summary of I2C Sub-Addresses and Byte Formats.

Once all chips on the bus have been addressed and sent valid data, a global STOP can be sent and the LTC3675 will update its command latches with the data that it had received. It is important to understand that until a STOP signal is transmitted, data written to the LTC3675 command registers is not acted on by the LTC3675. Only once a STOP signal is issued is the data transferred to the command latch and acted on. The one exception is when sub-address 0Fh is written to clear an interrupt. To clear an interrupt, sub address OFh must be written, followed by sub address 00h. A complete clear interrupt cycle would have the following write sequence: 12h, 0Fh, STOP, 12h, 00h, STOP.

The contents of any of these registers may be read back via I2C. To read the data of a register, that register’s sub-address must be provided to the LTC3675. The bus master reads the status of the LTC3675 with a START condition followed by the LTC3675 write address followed by the first data byte (the sub-address of the register whose data needs to be read) which is acknowledged by the LTC3675. After receiving the acknowledge signal from the LTC3675 the bus master initiates a new START condition followed by the LTC3675 read address. The LTC3675 acknowledges the read address and then returns a byte of read back 3675f 23 LTC3675 OPERATION RSTB MASK REGISTER VIN EXTERNAL PULL-UP RESISTOR RSTB VOUT AND1 REGULATOR 92.5% OF PROGRAMMED VOUT OTHER UNMASKED PGOOD OUTPUTS + – PGOOD COMPARATOR AND2 UNMASKED PGOOD OUTPUTS VIN EXTERNAL PULL-UP RESISTOR UNMASKED ERROR IRQB SET OTHER UNMASKED ERRORS CLRINT CLR LATCHED STATUS REGISTER IRQB MASK REGISTER REAL TIME STATUS REGISTER 3675 F04 Figure 4. Simplified Schematic Showing RSTB and IRQB Signal Path data from the selected register. A STOP command is not required for the bus read operation. Immediately after writing data to a register, the contents of that register may be read back if the bus master issues a START condition followed by the LTC3675 read address. ERROR CONDITION REPORTING VIA RSTB AND IRQB PINS Error conditions are reported back via the IRQB and RSTB pins. After an error condition is detected, status data can be read back to a microprocessor via I2C to determine the exact nature of the error condition. Figure 4 is a simplified schematic showing the signal path for reporting errors via the RSTB and IRQB pins. All the switching regulators and the LED driver have an internal power good (PGOOD) signal. When the regulated output voltage of an enabled switcher rises above 93.5% of its programmed value, the PGOOD signal will transition high. When the regulated output voltage falls below 92.5% of its programmed value, the PGOOD signal is pulled low. If that PGOOD is not masked and stays low for greater than 50μs, then it pulls the RSTB and IRQB pins low, indicating to a microprocessor that an error condition has occurred. The 50μs filter time prevents the pins from being pulled low due to a transient. The LED driver has a PGOOD signal (PGOOD[7]) that is used to indicate output voltage status only when it is configured as a high voltage boost regulator. In all other operating modes, PGOOD[7] is disabled. An error condition that pulls the RSTB pin low is not latched. When the error condition goes away, the RSTB pin is released and is pulled high if no other error condition exists. In addition to the PGOOD signals of the regulators, the IRQB pin also indicates the status of the overtemperature and undervoltage flags. The undervoltage and overtemperature faults cannot be masked. A fault that causes the IRQB pin to be pulled low is latched. When the fault condition is cleared, the IRQB pin is still maintained in its low state. The user needs to clear the interrupt by using a CLRINT command. 3675f 24 LTC3675 OPERATION On start-up, all PGOOD outputs are unmasked and a poweron reset will cause RSTB to be pulled low. Once all enabled regulators have their output PGOOD for 200ms typical (CT = 0.01μF) the RSTB output goes Hi-Z. By masking a PGOOD signal, the RSTB or IRQB pin will remain Hi-Z even though the output voltage of a regulator may be below its PGOOD threshold. However, when the status register is read back, the true condition of PGOOD is reported. UNDERVOLTAGE AND OVERTEMPERATURE FUNCTIONALITY The undervoltage (UV) circuit monitors the input supply voltage and shuts down all enabled regulators if the input voltage falls below 2.45V. The LTC3675 also provides a user with an undervoltage warning, which indicates to the user that the input supply voltage is approaching the UV threshold. The undervoltage warning threshold is user programmable as shown in Table 2. Table 2. UV Warning Thresholds UV[2], UV[1], UV[0] FALLING VIN WARNING THRESHOLD 000 (Default) 2.7V 001 2.8V 010 2.9V 011 3.0V 100 3.1V 101 3.2V 110 3.3V 111 3.4V To prevent thermal damage to the LTC3675 and its surrounding components, the LTC3675 incorporates an overtemperature (OT) function. When the LTC3675 die temperature reaches 150°C all enabled regulators are shut down and remain in shutdown until the die temperature falls to 135°C. The LTC3675 also has an overtemperature warning function which warns a user that the die temperature is approaching the OT threshold which allows the user to take any corrective action. The OT warning threshold is user programmable as shown in Table 3. Table 3. OT Warning Thresholds OT[1], OT[0] OT WARNING THRESHOLD 00 (Default) 10° Below OT 01 20° Below OT 10 30° Below OT 11 40° Below OT A UV or OT warning is reported to the user when the IRQB pin is in its high impedance state. The UV and OT warning flags are not maskable by the user. RESET_ALL Functionality: The RESET_ALL bit shuts down all enabled regulators (enabled either via its enable pin or I2C) for 1 second. All command registers are cleared and put in their default state. 3675f 25 LTC3675 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Buck Regulators Switching Regulator Output Voltage and Feedback Network All four buck regulators are designed to be used with 2.2μH inductors. Tables 4 and 5 show the recommended inductors for the 500mA and 1A buck regulators. The output voltage of the switching regulators is programmed by a resistor divider connected from the switching regulator’s output to its feedback pin and is given by VOUT = VFB (1 + R2/R1) as shown in Figure 5. Typical values for R1 range from 40kΩ to 1MΩ. The buck regulator transient response may improve with optional capacitor CFF that helps cancel the pole created by the feedback resistors and the input capacitance of the FB pin. Experimentation with capacitor values between 2pF and 22pF may improve transient response. The input supply needs to be decoupled with a 10μF capacitor while the output needs to be decoupled with a 22μF capacitor for a 1A buck regulator and 10μF for a 500mA buck regulator. Refer to Capacitor Selection in the Applications Information section for details on selecting a proper capacitor. Each buck regulator can be programmed via I2C. To program buck regulator 1 (1A) use sub-address 01h, buck regulator 2 (1A) sub-address 02h, buck regulator 3 (500mA) subaddress 03h and buck regulator4 (500mA) sub-address 04h. The bit format is explained in Table 6.

Buck-Boost Regulator The buck-boost regulator is an internally compensated voltage mode regulator that is designed to be used with a 2.2μH inductor. Recommended inductors are listed in the Table 8. LED Driver The input supply needs to be decoupled with a 10μF capacitor while the output needs to be decoupled with a 22μF capacitor. Refer to “Capacitor Selection” in the Applications Information section for details on selecting a proper capacitor. The LED driver also needs a rectifier diode. Recommended schottky diodes are listed in Table 12. For proper operation the LED driver boost circuit needs a 10μH inductor. Recommended inductors are listed in Table 11. The LED driver has two registers that can be programmed via I2C. One of the registers is accessed at sub-address 07h and the bit format is as shown in Table 13. The buck-boost regulator can be programmed via I2C. To program the buck-boost regulator, use sub-address 06h. The bit format is explained in Table 10.

LED Driver Regulator Program Register 1 Bit Format Bit7 x Unused Bit6 Bit5 Mode1 Mode0 Mode1 = Mode0 = 0 is default; both LED pins are regulated. Mode1 = 0 Mode0 = 1; Only LED1 is regulated. (Single string application). Mode1 = 1 Mode0 = 0; LED driver is configured as a high voltage boost regulator. Mode1 = Mode0 = 1; Both LED pins are regulated, but boost is not powered up. In this mode an external voltage is needed to drive the LED’s. Bit4 Slow Edge This bit controls the slew rate of the switch node. Default is ‘0’ which enables the switch node to slew at a faster rate than if the bit were programmed a ‘1.’ Bit3 2xFS This bit doubles the full-scale programmed LED current. Default is ‘1.’ Bit2(GRAD2) Bit1(GRAD1) Bit0(GRAD0) DAC Control LED current gradation timing bits. Default is ‘111.’ See Table 14. These times are shown in Table 14. The default state of 000 in GRAD[2:0] results in a very fast ramp time that cannot be visually perceived. Table 14.

All 8 bits in this register are used to control LED current. The default state of this register is 00h which disables the LED driver. See Table 1. Operating the LED Driver As a High Voltage Boost Regulator The LED driver may be configured as a high voltage boost regulator capable of producing an output voltage up to 40V. The boost mode may be programmed via I2C. In this mode, the LED_OV pin serves as the feedback pin. The feedback resistors are selected as discussed in the Switching Regulator Output voltage and Feedback Network section. The LED_FS pins must be tied to the input supply in this mode. When configured as a high voltage boost, the LED DAC register is ignored. To maintain stability, the average inductor current must be maintained below 750mA. This limits the deliverable output current at low input supply voltages. Figure 8 gives an example of the LED driver configured as a high voltage boost regulator. Input and Output Decoupling Capacitor Selection The LTC3675 has multiple input supply pins and output pins. Each of these pins must be decoupled with low ESR capacitors to GND. These capacitors must be placed as close to the pins as possible. Ceramic dielectric capacitors are a good compromise between high dielectric constant and stability versus temperature and DC bias. Note that the capacitance of a capacitor deteriorates at higher DC bias. It is important to consult manufacturer data sheets and obtain the true capacitance of a capacitor at the DC bias voltage it will be operated at. For this reason, avoid the use of Y5V dielectric capacitors. The X5R/X7R dielectric capacitors offer good overall performance. The input supply voltage pins 6, 7, 10 and 40 all need to be decoupled with at least 10μF capacitors. The input supply pins 31 and 34 and the DVCC pin 41 need to be decoupled with 2.2μF capacitors. The outputs of the 1A buck regulators need 22μF capacitors, while the outputs of the 500mA buck regulators need 10μF capacitors. The buck-boost output regulator needs a 22μF decoupling capacitor. The boost regulator needs two 22μF output decoupling capacitors. The LED driver output pin should be decoupled with a 4.7μF capacitor. 3675f 29 LTC3675 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Choosing the CT Capacitor The CT capacitor may be used to program the timing parameters associated with the pushbutton. For a given CT capacitor the timing parameters may be calculated as below. CT is in units of μF. tONB_LO = 5000 × CT ms tPBSTAT_PW = 5000 × CT ms tONB_WAKE = 40000 × CT ms tWAKE_ON = 500 × CT seconds tONB_HR = 500 × CT seconds tHR = 100 × CT seconds Programming the UVOT Register The UV/OT warning byte (default 0000 0000) structure is as below: BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0 RESET_ALL UV[2] UV[1] UV[0] Unused Unused OT[1] OT[0] Programming the RSTB and IRQB Mask Registers The RSTB mask register can be programmed by the user at sub-address 0Ah and its format is as below. BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0 Unused PGOOD7 PGOOD6 PGOOD5 PGOOD4 PGOOD3 PGOOD2 PGOOD1 If a bit is set to ‘0,’ then the corresponding regulator’s PGOOD will pull RSTB low if a PGOOD fault were to occur. The default for this register is FFh. The IRQB mask register has the same bit format as the RSTB mask register. The IRQB mask register is located at sub-address 0Bh and its default contents are 00h. PGOOD7 is used only when the LED driver is configured as a high voltage boost regulator. 3675f 30 LTC3675 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Status Byte Read Back When either the RSTB or IRQB pin is pulled low, it indicates to the user that a fault condition has occurred. To find out the exact nature of the fault, the user can read the status registers. There are two status registers. One register provides real time fault condition reporting while a second register latches data when an interrupt has occurred. Figure 4 shows the operation of the real time and latched status registers. The contents of the latched status register are cleared when a CLRINT signal is issued. A PGOOD bit is a ‘0’ if that regulator’s output voltage is more than 7.5% below its programmed value. The sub-address for the real time status register is 0Ch and its format is as follows: BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0 Unused Unused PGOOD6 PGOOD5 PGOOD4 PGOOD3 PGOOD2 PGOOD1 The sub-address for the latched status register is 0Dh and its format is as follows: BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0 UV OT PGOOD6 PGOOD5 PGOOD4 PGOOD3 PGOOD2 PGOOD1 A write operation cannot be performed to either of the status registers. PCB Considerations When laying out the printed circuit board, the following list should be followed to ensure proper operation of the LTC3675: 1. The exposed pad of the package (pin 45) should connect directly to a large ground plane to minimize thermal and electrical impedance. 2. All the input supply pins must be tied together and each supply pin should have a decoupling capacitor. 3. The switching regulator input supply pins and their respective decoupling capacitors should be kept as short as possible. The GND side of these capacitors should connect directly to the ground plane of the part. These capacitors provide the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs and their drivers. It’s important to minimize inductance from these capacitors to the VIN pins of the LTC3675. 4. The switching power traces connecting SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, SWAB6, SWCD6 and SW7 to their respective inductors should be minimized to reduce radiated EMI and parasitic coupling. Due to the large voltage swing of the switching nodes, high input impedance sensitive nodes such as the feedback nodes and LED_OV node should be kept far away or shielded from the switching nodes or poor performance could result. 5. The GND side of the switching regulator output capacitors should connect directly to the thermal ground plane of the part. Minimize the trace length from the output capacitor to the inductor(s)/pin(s). 6. In a combined buck regulator application the trace length of switch nodes to the inductor must be kept equal to ensure proper operation. 3675f 31 LTC3675 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Li-Ion CELL 2.7V TO 4.2V VIN 1μF 1.2V 25mA VIN 10μF 2.2μH LDO_OUT 10μF SW1 324k 22μF 324k LDOFB FB1 649k 649k VIN VIN 1μF 10μF 2.2μH 2.2μH SW2 SW5 VOUT5 5V, 1A 22μF 22μF 22μF 22μF 655k 2.5V 1A FB2 1.05M 309k FB5 200k LTC3675 VIN 2.2μH 3.3V, 1A 10μF 2.2μH SWAB6 SWCD6 VOUT6 10μF 1.2V 1A SW3 590k 322k 10μF 1.8V 500mA FB3 FB6 475k 105k 2.2μH SW4 DVCC I2C CONTROL 10μF 511k 1μF 1.6V 500mA FB4 511k SCL SDA 10μF 10μH IRQB RSTB WAKE PBSTAT EN1 EN2 EN3 EN4 EN6 CT MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL SW7 4.7μF 50V UP TO • 10 LEDS •• 0.01μF ONB PUSH BUTTON EXPOSED PAD LED1 LED2 LED_OV LED_FS • • • 1.96M 20k 42.2k 3675 F06 Figure 6.
