FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3456 is a complete power management system
IC optimized for a variety of portable applications. The
device generates two separate power rails: a 3.3V (fixed)
Main supply and a 1.8V (adjustable) Core supply. In
addition, the LTC3456 contains a USB power manager, a
Hot Swap output, a low-battery indicator and an always-
alive VMAX output. The LTC3456 takes power from one of
three sources: a Wall adapter, a USB port or a 2-cell
Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH battery, in that order of priority. Cur-
rent drawn from the USB port is accurately limited to
100mA or 500mA based on the state of the USBHP pin.
