The LTC3105E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. l 6 % Note 3: Current measurements are performed when the LTC3105 is not switching. The current limit values measured in operation will be somewhat higher due to the propagation delay of the comparators. Note 4: This IC includes over temperature protection that is intended to protect 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 5: The LTC3105 has been optimized for use with high impedance power sources such as photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators. The input start-up voltage is measured using an input voltage source with a series resistance of approximately 200mΩ and MPPC enabled. Use of the LTC3105 with lower resistance voltage sources or with MPPC disabled may result in a higher input start-up voltage. 3105fa 3 LTC3105 T TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS A = 25°C, VAUX = VOUT = 3.3V, VLDO = 2.2V, VIN = 0.6V, unless otherwise noted.

Connect the VOUT resistor divider tap to this input. The output voltage can be adjusted between 1.5V and 5.25V. LDO (Pin 2/Pin 2): LDO Regulator Output. Connect a 4.7µF or larger capacitor between LDO and GND. FBLDO (Pin 3/Pin 3): LDO Feedback Input. Connect the LDO resistive divider tab to this input. Alternatively, connecting FBLDO directly to GND will configure the LDO output voltage to be internally set at 2.2V (nominal). SHDN (Pin 4/Pin 4): Logic Controlled Shutdown Input. With SHDN open, the converter is enabled by an internal 2MΩ pull-up resistor. The SHDN pin should be driven with an open-drain or open-collector pull-down and floated until the converter has entered normal operation. Excessive loading on this pin may cause a failure to complete start-up. SHDN = Low: IC Disabled SHDN = High: IC Enabled MPPC (Pin 5/Pin 5): Set Point Input for Maximum Power Point Control. Connect a resistor from MPPC to GND to program the activation point for the MPPC loop. To disable the MPPC circuit, connect MPPC directly to GND. VIN (Pin 6/Pin 8): Input Supply. Connect a decoupling capacitor between this pin and GND. The PCB trace length from the VIN pin to the decoupling capacitor should be as short and wide as possible. When used with high impedance sources such as photovoltaic cells, this pin should have a 10µF or larger decoupling capacitor. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 11/Pins 6, 7) : Small Signal and Power Ground for the IC. The GND connections should be soldered to the PCB ground using the lowest impedance path possible. SW (Pin 7/Pin 9): Switch Pin. Connect an inductor between SW and VIN. PCB trace lengths should be as short as possible to reduce EMI. While the converter is sleeping or is in shutdown, the internal antiringing switch connects the SW pin to the VIN pin in order to minimize EMI. PGOOD (Pin 8/Pin 10): Power Good Indicator. This is an open-drain output. The pull-down is disabled when VOUT has achieved the voltage defined by the feedback divider on the FB pin. The pull-down is also disabled while the IC is in shutdown or start-up mode. VOUT (Pin 9/Pin 11): Step-Up Converter Output. This is the drain connection of the main output internal synchronous rectifier. A 10µF or larger capacitor must be connected between this pin and GND. The PCB trace length from the VOUT pin to the output filter capacitor should be as short and wide as possible. AUX (Pin 10/Pin 12): Auxiliary Voltage. Connect a 1µF capacitor between this pin and GND. This pin is used by the start-up circuitry to generate a voltage rail to power internal circuitry until the main output reaches regulation.

This part operates over a very wide range of input voltages from 225mV to 5V. Its Burst Mode architecture and low 24µA quiescent current optimize efficiency in low power applications. An integrated maximum power point controller allows for operation directly from high impedance sources such as photovoltaic cells by preventing the input power source voltage from collapsing below the user programmable MPPC threshold. Peak current limits are automatically adjusted with proprietary techniques to maintain operation at levels that maximize power extraction from the source. The 250mV start-up voltage and 225mV minimum operating voltage enable direct operation from a single photovoltaic cell and other very low voltage, high series impedance power sources such as TEGs and fuel cells. Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency operation while eliminating the need for external Schottky diodes. The LTC3105 provides output disconnect which prevents large inrush currents during start-up. This is particularly important for high internal resistance power sources like photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators which can become overloaded if inrush current is not limited during start-up of the power converter. In addition, output disconnect isolates VOUT from VIN while in shutdown. VIN > VOUT Operation The LTC3105 includes the ability to seamlessly maintain regulation if VIN becomes equal to or greater than VOUT . With VIN greater than or equal to VOUT , the synchronous rectifiers are disabled which may result in reduced efficiency. Shutdown Control The SHDN pin is an active low input that places the IC into low current shutdown mode. This pin incorporates an internal 2MΩ pull-up resistor which enables the converter if the SHDN pin is not controlled by an external circuit. The SHDN pin should be allowed to float while the part is in start-up mode. Once in normal operation, the SHDN pin may be controlled using an open-drain or open-collector pull-down. Other external loads on this pin should be avoided, as they may result in the part failing to reach regulation. In shutdown, the internal switch connecting AUX and VOUT is enabled. When the SHDN pin is released, the LTC3105 is enabled and begins switching after a short delay. When either VIN or VAUX is above 1.4V, this delay will typically range between 20µs and 100µs. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section for more details. Start-Up Mode Operation The LTC3105 provides the capability to start with voltages as low as 250mV. During start-up the AUX output initially is charged with the synchronous rectifiers disabled. Once VAUX has reached approximately 1.4V, the converter leaves start-up mode and enters normal operation. Maximum power point control is not enabled during start-up, however, the currents are internally limited to sufficiently low levels to allow start-up from weak input sources. While the converter is in start-up mode, the internal switch between AUX and VOUT remains disabled and the LDO is disabled. Refer to Figure 1 for an example of a typical start-up sequence. The LTC3105 is optimized for use with high impedance power sources such as photovoltaic cells. For operation from very low impedance, low input voltage sources, it may be necessary to add several hundred milliohms of series input resistance to allow for proper low voltage start-up. Normal Operation When either VIN or VAUX is greater than 1.4V typical, the converter will enter normal operation. The converter continues charging the AUX output until the LDO output enters regulation. Once the LDO output is in regulation, the converter begins charging the VOUT pin. VAUX is maintained at a level sufficient to ensure the LDO remains in regulation. If VAUX becomes higher than required to maintain LDO regulation, charge is transferred from the AUX output to the VOUT output. If VAUX falls too low, current is redirected to the AUX output instead of being used to charge the VOUT output. Once VOUT rises 3105fa 8 LTC3105 INDUCTOR CURRENT OPERATION OUTPUT VOLTAGE TIME VAUX VLDO VOUT 1.4V VOUT IN REGULATION LDO IN REGULATION START-UP MODE NORMAL OPERATION TIME VOUT = VAUX VOUT SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER ENABLED 3105 F01 Figure 1. Typical Converter Start-Up Sequence above VAUX , an internal switch is enabled to connect the two outputs together. If VIN is greater than the voltage on the driven output (VOUT or VAUX), or the driven output is less than 1.2V (typical), the synchronous rectifiers are disabled. With the synchronous rectifiers disabled, the converter operates in critical conduction mode. In this mode, the N-channel MOSFET between SW and GND is enabled and remains on until the inductor current reaches the peak current limit. It is then disabled and the inductor current discharges completely before the cycle is repeated. When the output voltage is greater than the input voltage and greater than 1.2V, the synchronous rectifier is enabled. In this mode, the N-channel MOSFET between SW and GND is enabled until the inductor current reaches the peak current limit. Once current limit is reached, the N-channel MOSFET turns off and the P-channel MOSFET between SW and the driven output is enabled. This switch remains on until the inductor current drops below the valley current limit and the cycle is repeated. When VOUT reaches the regulation point, the N- and Pchannel MOSFETs connected to the SW pin are disabled and the converter enters sleep. Auxiliary LDO The integrated LDO provides a regulated 6mA rail to power microcontrollers and external sensors. When the input voltage is above the minimum of 225mV, the LDO is powered from the AUX output allowing the LDO to attain regulation while the main output is still charging. The LDO has a 12mA current limit and an internal 1ms soft-start to eliminate inrush currents. The LDO output voltage is set by the FBLDO pin. If a resistor divider is connected to this pin, the ratio of the resistors determines the LDO output voltage. If the FBLDO pin is connected directly to GND, the LDO will use a 2MΩ internal divider network to program a 2.2V nominal output voltage. The LDO should be programmed for an output voltage less than the programmed VOUT . 3105fa 9 LTC3105 OPERATION When the converter is placed in shutdown mode, the LDO is forced into reverse-blocking mode with reverse current limited to under 1µA. After the shutdown event has ended, the LDO remains in reverse-blocking mode until VAUX has risen above the LDO voltage. MPPC Operation The maximum power point control circuit allows the user to set the optimal input voltage operating point for a given power source. The MPPC circuit dynamically regulates the average inductor current to prevent the input voltage from dropping below the MPPC threshold. When VIN is greater than the MPPC voltage, the inductor current is increased until VIN is pulled down to the MPPC set point. If VIN is less than the MPPC voltage, the inductor current is reduced until VIN rises to the MPPC set point. Automatic Power Adjust The LTC3105 incorporates a feature that maximizes efficiency at light load while providing increased power capability at heavy load by adjusting the peak and valley of the inductor current as a function of load. Lowering the peak inductor current to 100mA at light load optimizes efficiency by reducing conduction losses. As the load increases, the peak inductor current is automatically increased to a maximum of 500mA. At intermediate loads, the peak inductor current can vary between 100mA to 500mA. This function is overridden by the MPPC function and will only be observed when the power source can deliver more power than the load requires. PGOOD Operation The power good output is used to indicate that VOUT is in regulation. PGOOD is an open-drain output, and is disabled in shutdown. PGOOD will indicate that power is good at the beginning of the first sleep event after the output voltage has risen above 90% of its regulation value. PGOOD remains asserted until VOUT drops below 90% of its regulation value at which point PGOOD will pull low. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Component Selection Low DCR power inductors with values between 4.7µH and 30µH are suitable for use with the LTC3105. For most applications, a 10µH inductor is recommended. In applications where the input voltage is very low, a larger value inductor can provide higher efficiency and a lower start-up voltage. In applications where the input voltage is relatively high (VIN > 0.8V), smaller inductors may be used to provide a smaller overall footprint. In all cases, the inductor must have low DCR and sufficient saturation current rating. If the DC resistance of the inductor is too high, efficiency will be reduced and the minimum operating voltage will increase. Input capacitor selection is highly important in low voltage, high source resistance systems. For general applications, a 10µF ceramic capacitor is recommended between VIN and GND. For high impedance sources, the input capacitor should be large enough to allow the converter to complete start-up mode using the energy stored in the input capacitor. When using bulk input capacitors that have high ESR, a small valued parallel ceramic capacitor should be placed between VIN and GND as close to the converter pins as possible. A 1µF ceramic capacitor should be connected between AUX and GND. Larger capacitors should be avoided to minimize start-up time. A low ESR output capacitor should be connected between VOUT and GND. The main output capacitor should be 10µF or larger. The main output can also be used to charge energy storage devices including tantalum capacitors, supercapacitors and batteries. When using output bulk storage devices with high ESR, a small valued ceramic capacitor should be placed in parallel and located as close to the converter pins as possible. 3105fa 10 LTC3105 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Step-Up Converter Feedback Configuration MPPC Threshold Configuration A resistor divider connected between the VOUT and FB pins programs the step-up converter output voltage, as shown in Figure 2. An optional 22pF feedforward capacitor, CFF1, can be used to reduce output ripple and improve load transient response. The equation for VOUT is: The MPPC circuit controls the inductor current to maintain VIN at the voltage on the MPPC pin. The MPPC pin voltage is set by connecting a resistor between the MPPC pin and GND, as shown in Figure 4. The MPPC voltage is determined by the equation: R1 VOUT = 1.004V • +1 R2 VMPPC = 10µA • RMPPC LDO Regulator Feedback Configuration Two methods can be used to program the LDO output voltage, as shown in Figure 3. A resistor divider connected between the LDO and FBLDO pins can be used to program the LDO output voltage. The equation for the LDO output voltage is: R3 VLDO = 1.004V • +1 R4 Alternatively, the FBLDO pin can be connected directly to GND. In this configuration, the LDO is internally set to a nominal 2.2V output. In photovoltaic cell applications, a diode can be used to set the MPPC threshold so that it tracks the cell voltage over temperature, as shown in Figure 5. The diode should be thermally coupled to the photovoltaic cell to ensure proper tracking. A resistor placed in series with the diode can be used to adjust the DC set point to better match the maximum power point of a particular source if the selected diode forward voltage is too low. If the diode is located far from the converter inputs, a capacitor may be required to filter noise that may couple onto the MPPC pin, as shown in Figure 5. This method can be extended to stacked cell sources through use of multiple series connected diodes. VOUT CFF1 R1 10µA LTC3105 LTC3105 RMPPC FB MPPC R2 3105 F02 3105 F04 Figure 4.

In this application, a large input capacitor is required due to the very low available supply current (less than 4mA). The loop diode should be selected for a minimum forward drop of 300mV. The MPPC pin voltage should be set for a value approximately 50mV below the minimum diode forward voltage. VIN + VFWD CIN – LTC3105 GND RMPPC MPPC 3105 F06 Figure 6.
