LTC3586EUFE
High Efficiency USB Power Manager + Dual Buck +
Boost + Buck-Boost DC/DC
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 1306 is a High Efficiency USB
Power Manager plus Dual Buck plus Multi-Output
Power Supply featuring the LTC
®
3586.
The LTC3586
integrates a high efficiency USB Li-Ion battery
charger with PowerPath control and four general
purpose switching regulators, all in one chip. The
PowerPath manager includes a synchronous
switching low voltage input regulator, a full-featured
battery charger and an ideal diode. Designed
specifically for USB applications, the LTC3586’s low
voltage switching regulator automatically limits its
input current to a maximum of either 1x (for USB
100mA), 5x (for USB 500mA) or 10x for wall-
powered applications (1A). The switching input stage
provides power to VOUT where power sharing
between the application circuit and the battery
charger is managed.
Unlike linear PowerPath controllers, the LTC3586’s
switching input stage can use nearly all of the 0.5W
or 2.5W available from the USB port with minimal
power dissipation. This feature allows the LTC3586
to provide more power to the application and eases
thermal issues in constrained applications. An ideal
diode ensures that system power is available from
the battery when the input current limit is reached or
if the USB or wall supply is removed. The LTC3586
includes two 400mA buck regulators, one 1A buck-
boost regulator and one 800mA boost regulator for a
variety of handheld applications.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTC3586 is a highly integrated power manage-
ment IC which includes a high efficiency switch
mode PowerPath controller, a battery charger, an
ideal diode, an always-on LDO, two 400mA buck
switching regulators, a 1A buck-boost switching
regulator, and an 800mA boost switching regulator.
All of the regulators can be independently controlled
via ENABLE pins.
Designed specifically for USB applications, the Po-
werPath controller incorporates a precision average
input current buck switching regulator to make max-
imum use of the allowable USB power. Because
power is conserved, the LTC3586 allows the load
current on V
OUT
to exceed the current drawn by the
USB port without exceeding the USB load specifica-
tions.
The PowerPath switching regulator and battery
charger communicate to ensure that the input cur-
rent never violates the USB specifications.
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 V
BUS
.
An “always on” LDO provides a regulated 3.3V from
available power at V
OUT
. Drawing very little quiescent
current, this LDO will be on at all times and can be
used to supply up to 20mA.
Along with constant frequency PWM mode, the buck
and the buck-boost switching regulators have a low
power burst mode setting for significantly reduced
quiescent current under light load conditions.
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Using short twisted pair leads for any power connec-
tions and with all loads and power supplies off, refer
to Figure 1 for the proper measurement and equip-
ment setup. The Battery should not be connected to
the circuit until told to do so in the procedure below.
When measuring the input or output voltage ripple, care
must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscillo-
scope probe. Measure the input or output voltage ripple
by touching the probe tip directly across the VCC or
VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for proper scope
probe technique.
