DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3529 is a 5V output, synchronous, fixed frequency
step-up DC/DC converter optimized for USB On-The-Go
(OTG) hosting applications. This compact USB OTG 5V
V
BUS
converter features a 1.5MHz switching frequency,
internal compensation and a tiny 2mm

3mm DFN pack-
age. The LTC3529 can operate from input voltages as low
as 1.8V.
USB OTG-specific features include a fault flag with 22ms
deglitching to indicate when the bus is overloaded, output
disconnect and short-circuit protection. Following a fault,
the LTC3529 can be programmed to either latchoff or
restart after a time-out duration.
Additional features include a <1μA shutdown mode,
soft-start, inrush current limiting and thermal overload
protection. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI during low
power operation. The LTC3529 is offered in an 8-lead

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 LTC3529 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4:
Current measurements are performed when the LTC3529 is not
switching. The current limit values in operation will be somewhat higher
due to the propagation delay of the comparators.
Note 5:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
OUT
(Pin 1):
Converter Output, Voltage Sense Input
and Drain of the Internal Synchronous Rectifier MOSFET.
Driver bias is derived from V
OUT
. PCB trace length from
V
OUT
to the output filter capacitor(s) should be as short
and wide as possible.
SW (Pin 2):
Switch Node. This node connects to one
side of the inductor. Keep PCB traces as short and wide
as possible to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. If the
inductor current falls to zero, or
SHDN
is low, an internal
100Ω anti-ringing switch is connected between SW and
V
IN
to minimize EMI.
SHDN
(Pin 3):
Active-Low Shutdown Input. Forcing this
pin above 1V enables the converter. Forcing this pin below
0.35V disables the converter. Do not float this pin.
PGND (Pin 4):
High Current Ground Connection. The PCB
trace connecting this pin to ground should be as short and
as wide as possible.
FAULT
(Pin 5):
Open-Drain Fault Indicator Output. Pulls
low when an overcurrent condition exists for more than
22ms.
SNSGND (Pin 6):
This pin must be connected to
ground.
RST (Pin 7):
Logic Input to Select Automatic Restart or
Latchoff Following a Fault Shutdown.
• RST = High: Auto-reset mode. In this mode, the LTC3529
will automatically attempt to restart 22ms (typically)
after a fault shutdown.
• RST = Low: Latchoff mode. In this mode, the LTC3529
will latch off for a fault shutdown. The IC will not restart
until the
SHDN
pin is toggled or the supply voltage is
cycled.
V
IN
(Pin 8):
Input Supply Pin.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9):
Small Signal Ground. This is the
ground reference for the internal circuitry of the LTC3529
and must be connected directly to ground.
