DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1123 is a Linear USB Battery
Charger w ith Dual Buck Regulators featuring the
LTC3562. The LTC3562 is a quad high efficiency mono-
lithic synchronous step-dow n regulator with an I
2
C inter-
face. Tw o regulators are externally adjustable and can
have their feedback voltages programmed betw een
425mV and 800mV in 25mV (Type A). The other tw o
regulators are fixed output regulators w hose output volt-
ages can be programmed betw een 600mV and 3.775V in
25mV steps (Type B). All four regulators operate inde-
pendently and can be put into pulse skip, LDO, Burst
M ode operation or forced Burst M ode operation through
I
2
C control. The Type A regulators have separate RUN
pins that can be enabled if I
2
C control is unavailable.
The 2.85V to 5.5V input range makes the LTC-3562 ide-
ally suited for single Li-ion battery pow ered applications.
At low output load conditions, the regulators can be
sw itched into LDO, Burst M ode operation or forced Burst
M ode operation, extending battery life in portable sys-
tems. The quiescent current drops to under 100µA with
all regulators in LDO mode and under 0.1µA w hen all
regulators are shut dow n
Sw itching frequency is internally set to 2.25M Hz, allow -
ing the use of small surface mount inductors and capaci-
tors. All regulators are internally compensated.
The LTC3562 is offered in a low profile 3mm
3mm
QFN package.

OPERA TING PRINCIPL ES
The LTC3562 is a highly integrated pow er management
IC that contains four I
2
C controllable, monolithic, high
efficiency step-dow n regulators. Tw o regulators pro-
vide up to 600ma of output current and the other tw o
regulators produce up to 400ma. All four regulators
are 2.25M Hz, constant-frequency, current mode
sw itching regulators that can be independently con-
trolled through I
2
C. All regulators are internally com-
pensated eliminating the need for external compensa-
tion components.
The LTC3562 offers tw o different types of adjustable
step-dow n regulators. The tw o Type A regulators
(R600A, R400A) can have the feedback voltage ad-
justed from 425mv to 800mv in 25mv increments. The
tw o Type B regulators (R600B, R400B) can have the
