The LTC3351 is a backup power controller that charges and monitors a series stack of one to four supercapacitors. The LTC3351’s synchronous step-down controller drives N-channel MOSFETs for constant current/constant voltage charging with programmable input current limit. In addition, the step-down converter runs in reverse as a step-up converter to deliver power from the supercapacitor stack to the backup supply rail. Internal balancers eliminate the need for external balance resistors and each capacitor has a shunt regulator for overvoltage protection.

The LTC3351 monitors system voltages, currents, stack capacitance and ESR which can all be read over the I2C/SMBus port. The hot swap controller uses N-channel MOSFETs for inrush control and a low loss path from the input to the output. The ideal diode controller uses an N-channel MOSFET for a low loss power path from the supercapacitors to the output. The LTC3351 is available in a thermally enhanced low profile 44-lead 4mm × 7mm × 0.75mm QFN surface mount package.

LTC3351EUFF Demo Board | Hot Swappable Supercapacitor Charger, Backup Controller and System Monitor (24V Nominal Input, 18V 36W Backup)

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2464A-B is a supercapacitor charger and backup controller with a hot swappable front end plus supercapacitor health and system monitoring; featuring the LTC3351. The LTC3351 includes a buck supercapacitor charger and a backup boost controller. It has dual input hot swap FETs to control the inrush current when connected and to disconnect the input supply when an over current fault or input power loss occurs. An output ideal diode allows the supercapacitors to supply the output when VCAP is above the set backup voltage. As the capacitor stack voltage drops down to the set output voltage, the LTC3351 will operate as a boost regulator to supply the output until the energy in the supercapacitors is depleted.
