LTC3577-3/LTC3577-4
Highly Integrated
Portable Product PMIC
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3577-3/LTC3577-4 are highly integrated power
managementICsforsinglecellLi-Ion/Polymerbatteryap-
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
toaccuratelychargefromcurrentlimitedsuppliessuchas
USB by automatically reducing charge current such that
the sum of the load current and the charge current does
notexceedtheprogrammedinputcurrentlimit(100mAor
500mAmodes).TheLTC3577-3/LTC3577-4reducethebat-
teryvoltageatelevatedtemperaturestoimprovesafetyand
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
controlpowersequencingandsystemreset. Theonboard
LED backlight boost circuitry can drive up to 10 series
LEDs and includes versatile digital dimming via the I2C
input.TheLTC3577-3/LTC3577-4aredesignedtosupport
the SiRF Atlas IV processor and has pushbutton timing
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.
