DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3355
is a complete input power interrupt ride-
through DC/DC system. The part charges a supercapacitor
while delivering load current to V
OUT
, and uses energy from
the supercapacitor to provide continuous V
OUT
backup
power when V
IN
power is lost. The LTC3355 contains a
nonsynchronous constant frequency current mode mono-
lithic 1A buck switching regulator to provide a 2.7V to 5V
regulated output voltage from an input supply of up to 20V.
A 1A programmable CC/CV linear charger charges the
supercapacitor from V
OUT
. When the V
IN
supply drops
below the PFI threshold, the devices’s constant frequency
nonsynchronous current mode 5A boost switching
regulator delivers power from the supercapacitor to V
OUT
.
A thermal regulation loop maximizes charge current while
limiting the die temperature to 110°C. The IC has boost,
charger and V
IN
programmable current limits. The LTC3355
is available in a 20-lead 4mm
×
4mm QFN surface mount
package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3355 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3355E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3355I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature
(T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
, in °C) and
power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
= 47°C/W for the UF package.

Note 3:
The LTC3355 has a thermal regulation loop that limits the
maximum junction temperature to 110°C by limiting the charger current.
Note 4:
The current limit features of this part are intended to protect the
IC from short-term or intermittent fault conditions. Continuous operation
above the maximum specified pin current may result in device degradation
or failure.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Note 6:
The LTC3355 has a thermal shutdown that will shut down the part
when the die temperature reaches 155°C.
