PowerPath Controller
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3101 is a complete power management solution
for low power portable devices. It provides three high
efficiency switching DC/DC converters which seamlessly
transition from battery to USB/wall adapter power when
available. A synchronous buck-boost regulator provides
complete flexibility, allowing operation from a single
Li-Ion/Polymer battery, 2 to 3 AA cells, a USB port or any
other power source operating from 1.8V to 5.5V.

1.8V, 50mA Always-On LDO
Two always-alive outputs, a 50mA LDO and a 200mA MAX
output that tracks the higher voltage input supply, provide
power for critical functions or additional external regula-
tors. Flash memory cards can be directly powered from
theprotected100mAHotSwapoutput.Pushbuttoncontrol
logic and a programmable-duration microprocessor reset
generator simplify interfacing to a microprocessor while
internal sequencing and independent enable pins provide
