PIN FUNCTIONS
LDO2 (Pin 29): Output of Low Dropout Linear Regulator 2.
This pin must be bypassed to ground with a 1μF or greater
ceramic capacitor.
V_INLDO2 (Pin 30): Input Supply of Low Dropout Linear
Regulator 2 (LDO2). This pin should be bypassed to ground
with a 1μF or greater ceramic capacitor.
SW2 (Pin 31): Power Transmission (Switch) Pin for Step-
Down Switching Regulator 2 (Buck 2).
V_IN12 (Pin 32): Power Input for Step-Down Switching
Regulators 1 and 2. This pin will generally be connected
to V_OUT.
SW1 (Pin 33): Power Transmission (Switch) Pin for Step-
Down Switching Regulator 1 (Buck 1).
NTCBIAS (Pin 34): Output Bias Voltage for NTC. A
resistor from this pin to the NTC pin will bias the NTC
thermistor.
NTC (Pin 35): The NTC pin connects to a battery’s therm-
istor to determine if the battery is too hot or too cold
to charge. If the battery’s temperature is out of range,
charging is paused until it drops back into range. A low
drift bias resistor is required from NTCBIAS to NTC and
a thermistor is required from NTC to ground.
PROG (Pin 36): Charge Current Program and Charge
Current Monitor Pin. Connecting a resistor from PROG
to ground programs the charge current:
I_CHG =
1000V
R_PROG
(A)
If sufficient input power is available in constant current
mode, this pin servos to 1V. The voltage on this pin always
represents the actual charge current.
IDGATE (Pin 37): Ideal Diode Gate Connection. This
pin controls the gate of an optional external P-channel
MOSFET transistor used to supplement the internal ideal
diode. The source of the P-channel MOSFET should be
connected to V_OUT and the drain should be connected to
BAT. It is important to maintain high impedance on this
pin and minimize all leakage paths.
BAT (Pin 38): Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Pin. Depending
on available power and load, a Li-Ion battery on BAT will
either deliver system power to V_OUT through the ideal
diode or be charged from the battery charger.
V_OUT (Pin 39): Output Voltage of the PowerPath Controller
and Input Voltage of the Battery Charger. The majority of
the portable product should be powered from V_OUT. The
LTC3577 will partition the available power between the
external load on V_OUT and the internal battery charger.
Priority is given to the external load and any extra power
is used to charge the battery. An ideal diode from BAT to
V_OUT ensures that V_OUT is powered even if the load exceeds
the allotted input current from V_BUS or if the V_BUS power
source is removed. V_OUT should be bypassed with a low
impedance multilayer ceramic capacitor.
V_BUS (Pin 40): USB Input Voltage. V_BUS will usually be
connected to the USB port of a computer or a DC output
wall adapter. V_BUS should be bypassed with a low imped-
ance multilayer ceramic capacitor.
ACPR (Pin 41): Wall Adapter Present Output (Active Low).
A low on this pin indicates that the wall adapter input com-
parator has had its input pulled above its input threshold
(typically 4.3V). This pin can be used to drive the gate of
an external P-channel MOSFET to provide power to V_OUT
from a power source other than a USB port.
V_C (Pin 42): High Voltage Buck Regulator Control Pin.
This pin can be used to drive the V_C pin of an approved
external high voltage buck switching regulator. The V_C pin
is designed to work with the LT^®3480, LT3653 and LT3505.
Consult factory for additional approved high voltage buck
regulators. See “External HV Buck Control through the VC
Pin” section for operating information.
CLPROG (Pin 43): Input Current Program and Input
Current Monitor Pin. A resistor from CLPROG to ground
determines the upper limit of the current drawn from the
V_BUS pin (i.e., the input current limit). A precise fraction
of the input current, h_CLPROG, is sent to the CLPROG
pin. The input PowerPath delivers current until the
CLPROG pin reaches 2V (10x mode), 1V (5x mode) or 0.2V
(1x mode). Therefore, the current drawn from V_BUS will
be limited to an amount given by h_CLPROG and R_CLPROG.
In USB applications the resistor R_CLPROG should be set
to no less than 2.1k.
