Product details
Overview
LTC3553EUD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower USB power manager IC integrating Li-ion battery charger, 200mA synchronous buck regulator, 150mA LDO, PowerPath™ ideal diode, and pushbutton controller in a single 20-pin QFN. It delivers seamless source prioritization between USB input (100/500mA selectable) and single-cell Li-ion battery, with 12μA standby quiescent current and thermal-protected charging up to 420mA.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3553EUD#PBF datasheet, LTC3553EUD#PBF pinout, LTC3553EUD#PBF application, or LTC3553EUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator enable sequencing via SEQ pin, STBY-mode current reduction, VBUS undervoltage lockout (3.5V), and integrated NTC-based temperature fault monitoring for safe battery charging.
Technical Context
The LTC3553EUD#PBF implements a hierarchical power management architecture: PowerPath™ automatically routes VBUS or BAT to VOUT while limiting total input current to 100mA or 500mA via HPWR/SUSP logic; battery charge current is dynamically throttled to prevent exceeding that limit. Its buck regulator operates at 1.125MHz with 780–820mV feedback threshold and supports Burst Mode® for ultra-low-noise light-load operation.
Charging follows CC/CV profile with programmable ICHG (via PROG pin), VFLOAT = 4.165–4.235V, and safety timer (4h typical); thermal regulation reduces charge current above 110°C junction temperature. The LDO provides 150mA output with 160mV dropout at 150mA and 3.8V input, while PBSTAT and ON pins implement a state-machine-driven pushbutton interface supporting hard reset, power-up, and power-down sequences.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HPWR (1) | Input current limit select | Drives high for 500mA USB mode; low for 100mA mode - enables dynamic adaptation to host capability. |
| SEQ (2) | Power-up sequence control | Low = buck first; high = LDO first - ensures correct voltage sequencing for mixed-supply SoCs or FPGAs. |
| PBSTAT (3) | Debounced pushbutton status | Open-drain output synchronized to ON pin - provides clean interrupt signal to microcontroller without software debouncing. |
| ON (4) | Pushbutton input | Internal weak pull-up; grounded via momentary switch - initiates power-on, hard reset, or power-down based on timing per datasheet state machine. |
| LDO_ON (5) | LDO enable control | Logic-level input; must be driven - allows independent software/hardware control of analog rail activation. |
| STBY (6) | Standby mode control | High = ultra-low IQ (12μA), reduced load capability (10mA buck), slower transient response - optimizes battery runtime in idle states. |
| BUCK_ON (7) | Buck regulator enable | Logic-level input; must be driven - decouples digital core supply control from LDO/analog rails. |
| BUCK_FB (8) | Buck feedback input | Servos to 0.8V reference - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables precision regulation across load/temperature. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous battery charge current supported by the LTC3553EUD#PBF?
The LTC3553EUD#PBF supports a maximum constant-current charge current of 420mA (typical 400mA) when configured with a 1.87kΩ resistor on the PROG pin. This value is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and includes thermal foldback protection that reduces current above 110°C junction temperature to prevent damage. The LTC3553EUD#PBF also enforces a 4-hour safety timer and C/10 termination to ensure reliable, standards-compliant Li-ion charging.
How does the LTC3553EUD#PBF handle power source transitions between USB and battery?
The LTC3553EUD#PBF uses its internal PowerPath™ architecture with a 240mΩ ideal diode to provide seamless, glitch-free transitions between VBUS and BAT sources. When VBUS is present, priority is given to the system load on VOUT; excess current charges the battery. If VBUS is removed or drops below UVLO (3.5V), the ideal diode automatically conducts from BAT to VOUT without interruption. The LTC3553EUD#PBF maintains regulation throughout the switchover, ensuring zero downtime for connected loads.
Can the LTC3553EUD#PBF operate with a discharged battery (e.g., <2.5V)?
Yes, the LTC3553EUD#PBF supports instant-on operation with a deeply discharged battery. When VBAT falls below the trickle-charge threshold (2.6–2.75V), the device enters trickle mode and delivers up to 50mA to safely raise the cell voltage. Once VBAT exceeds 2.75V, it transitions to constant-current charging. This behavior, combined with the 12μA standby current, allows the LTC3553EUD#PBF to power the system immediately upon USB connection-even with a fully depleted battery-without requiring external wake-up circuitry.
What are the voltage options for the buck regulator output of the LTC3553EUD#PBF?
The buck regulator output voltage of the LTC3553EUD#PBF is externally programmable via the BUCK_FB pin and a resistor divider, with common configurations including 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V. The internal feedback reference is tightly regulated at 780–820mV over temperature, enabling precise output setting. The regulator delivers up to 200mA continuously and supports Burst Mode® operation for high efficiency at light loads, making it suitable for powering digital cores, memory, or communication ICs in portable systems.
Does the LTC3553EUD#PBF require external components for NTC-based temperature monitoring?
Yes, the LTC3553EUD#PBF requires two external components for NTC functionality: a precision bias resistor (typically 100kΩ) from VBUS to NTC pin, and an NTC thermistor from NTC pin to ground. The device measures the resulting voltage divider ratio to detect battery temperature faults - cold fault triggers at 75–77% VBUS, hot fault at 34–36% VBUS, with built-in hysteresis. If temperature monitoring is not needed, the NTC pin must be grounded per datasheet guidance; leaving it floating is not permitted.
