DescripTion
The LTC®3577-3/LTC3577-4 are highly integrated power
management ICs for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer battery ap-
plications.ItincludesaPowerPathmanagerwithautomatic
load prioritization, a battery charger, an ideal diode, input
overvoltage protection and numerous other internal pro-
tection features. The LTC3577-3/LTC3577-4 are designed
to accurately charge from current limited supplies such as
USB by automatically reducing charge current such that
the sum of the load current and the charge current does
not exceed the programmed input current limit (100mA
or 500mA modes). The LTC3577-3/LTC3577-4 reduce the
battery voltage at elevated temperatures to improve safety
and reliability. The three step-down switching regulators
and two LDOs provide a wide range of available supplies.
The LTC3577-3/LTC3577-4 also include a pushbutton
input to control power sequencing and system reset. The
onboard LED backlight boost circuitry can drive up to 10
series LEDs and includes versatile digital dimming via the
I2Cinput.TheLTC3577-3/LTC3577-4aredesignedtosup-

and sequencing different from other LTC3577 versions.
The LTC3577-3/LTC3577-4 are available in a low profile
4mm × 7mm × 0.75mm 44-pin QFN package.
