LTC3106 300mA Low Voltage Buck-Boost Converter with PowerPath and 1.6µA Quiescent Current FeaTuresDescripTion n Dual Input Buck-Boost with Integrated PowerPath™ The LTC®3106 is a highly integrated, ultralow voltage buck- Manager boost DC/DC converter with automatic PowerPath man- n Ultralow Start-Up Voltages: 850mV Start with No agement optimized for multisource, low power systems. Backup Source, 300mV with a Backup Source At no load, the LTC3106 draws only 1.6µA while creating n Compatible with Primary or Rechargeable Backup an output voltage up to 5V from either input source. Batteries If the primary power source is unavailable, the LTC3106 n Digitally Selectable VOUT and VSTORE seamlessly switches to the backup power source. The n Maximum Power Point Control LTC3106 is compatible with either rechargeable or pri- n Ultralow Quiescent Current: 1.6μA mary cell batteries and can trickle charge a backup battery n Regulated Output with VIN or VSTORE Above, Below whenever there is an energy surplus available. Optional or Equal to the Output maximum power point control ensures power transfer is n Optional Backup Battery Trickle Charger optimized between power source and load. The output volt- n Shelf Mode Disconnect Function to Preserve Battery age and backup voltage, VSTORE, are programmed digitally, Shelf Life reducing the required number of external components. n Burst Mode® Operation Zero power Shelf Mode ensures that the backup battery n Accurate RUN Pin Threshold will remain charged if left connected to the LTC3106 for n Power Good Output Voltage Indicator an extended time. n Selectable Peak Current Limit: 90mA/650mA n Available in Thermally Enhanced 3mm × 4mm 16-Pin Additional features include an accurate turn-on voltage, a QFN and 20-Pin TSSOP Packages power good indicator for VOUT, a user selectable 100mA peak current limit setting for lower power applications, applicaTions thermal shutdown as well as user selectable backup power n and output voltages.
