LTC3110
2A Bidirectional Buck-Boost
DC/DC Regulator and
Charger/Balancer
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3110 is a 2A bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC
regulator with capacitor charger and balancer. Its wide
0.1V to 5.5V capacitor/battery voltage and 1.8V to 5.25V
system backup voltage ranges make it well suited to a
wide variety of backup applications using supercapacitors
or batteries. A proprietary low noise switching algorithm
optimizes efficiency with capacitor/battery voltages that
are above, below or equal to the system output voltage.

The LTC3110 can autonomously transition from charge
to backup mode or switch modes based on an external
command. Pin-selectable Burst Mode operation reduces
standby current and improves light-load efficiency,
which combined with a 1μA shutdown current make the
LTC3110 ideally suited for backup applications. Additional
features include voltage supervisors for direction control
and end of charge, and a general purpose comparator
with open-collector output for interfacing with a µC. The
LTC3110 is available in thermally enhanced, low profile
24-lead TSSOP and 4mm × 4mm QFN packages.
