Product Details

The LTC3557/LTC3557-1 is a highly integrated power management and battery charger IC for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer battery applications. It includes a PowerPath^™ manager with automatic load prioritization, a battery charger, an ideal diode and numerous internal protection features. Designed specifically for USB applications, the LTC3557/LTC3557-1 power manager automatically limits input current to a maximum of either 100mA or 500mA for USB applications or 1A for wall adapter powered applications. Battery charge current is automatically reduced such that the sum of the load current and the charge current does not exceed the programmed input current limit. The LTC3557/LTC3557-1 also includes three adjustable synchronous step-down switching regulators and a high voltage buck regulator output controller with Bat-Track that allows efficient charging from supplies as high as 38V. The LTC3557/LTC3557-1 is available in a low profile 4mm × 4mm × 0.75mm 28-pin QFN package.

DC1138A-B

View Detailed Evaluation Kit Information

The DC1138A-B contains the LTC3557-1 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) plus the LT3505EDD 36V (40V transients) buck regulator. The LTC3557-1 (4.1V charge voltage) includes a PowerPath controller, a 1.5A battery charger (configured for 500mA), an ideal diode, an always-on LDO, three synchronous step-down switching regulators (600mA and 2 × 400mA ), as well as a buck regulator VC controller.

Designed specifically for USB applications, the PowerPath controller incorporates a precision input current limit which communicates with the battery charger to ensure that the input current does not violate the USB specification. The ideal diode from BAT to V_OUT guarantees that ample power is always available to V_OUT even if there is insufficient or absent power at VBUS. The LTC3557-1 also has the ability to receive power from a wall adapter or other non-current- limited power source.
