Product details
Overview
LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a highly integrated USB power manager IC for Li-Ion/Polymer battery systems, combining a switching PowerPath controller with Bat-Track adaptive output control, a 4.1V float voltage battery charger (1.5A max), dual synchronous buck regulators (400mA each), a synchronous buck-boost regulator (1A), and a synchronous boost regulator (800mA). It delivers instant-on operation and automatic load prioritization in compact handheld USB devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF pinout, LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF application, or LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include USB current limit configuration (100mA/500mA/1A), 4.1V vs 4.2V float voltage differentiation from LTC3586, thermal regulation behavior, ideal diode forward voltage (<15mV at 10mA), and VOUT3 buck-boost output range (2.75V–5.6V).
Technical Context
The LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF implements a multi-regulator architecture with four independent switching channels: two pulse-skip/burst-mode bucks (VIN1/VIN2), one buck-boost (VIN3/VOUT3) using four internal MOSFETs (SWAB3/SWCD3), and one boost (VIN4/VOUT4). Its PowerPath controller uses adaptive Bat-Track output control to maintain VOUT ≈ BAT + 0.3V during charging while limiting input current via CLPROG resistor programming.
It integrates a full-featured linear-compatible battery charger with 4.1V float voltage (LTC3586-1 variant), trickle charge threshold (2.7–3.0V), C/10 termination detection, and NTC-based thermal fault monitoring. The always-on 3.3V LDO (LDO3V3) draws power from VOUT and supports RTC/microcontroller biasing with <20mA load capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBUS Input Range | 4.35V to 5.5V - compatible with standard USB 2.0 host and wall adapter supplies; includes 7V transient rating. |
| Battery Float Voltage | 4.100V (typical) - fixed 4.1V regulation for LTC3586-1 variant, enabling safer charging of high-density Li-Poly cells. |
| Charge Current Max | 1022mA (typical, RPROG = 1kΩ) - programmable constant-current charge up to 1.5A with external resistor. |
| VOUT3 Buck-Boost Output | 2.75V to 5.6V - wide adjustable range supports core logic, memory, or interface rails requiring dynamic voltage scaling. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typical) - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors for space-constrained layouts. |
| Quiescent Current (VBUS) | 0.044mA (suspend mode) - ultra-low standby draw preserves battery life when USB is disconnected or suspended. |
| Package | 38-pin 4mm × 6mm × 0.75mm QFN - low-profile thermally enhanced package with exposed pad (Pin 39 = GND) for PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-pin plastic QFN (4mm × 6mm × 0.75mm), exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM0, ILIM1 (Pins 1, 2) | USB current limit select inputs | Binary-coded configuration for 100mA (1x), 500mA (5x), 1A (10x), or suspend mode; no external pull-up required. |
| LDO3V3 (Pin 3) | Always-on 3.3V LDO output | Supplies RTC, watchdog MCU, or low-power logic; requires 1µF bypass capacitor; disabled if tied to VOUT. |
| CLPROG (Pin 4) | VBUS current limit programming/monitoring node | Resistor-to-ground sets precise input current limit (e.g., 3.01kΩ = 500mA); internal servo holds 1.188V during regulation. |
| VOUT4 (Pins 6, 7) | Boost regulator output power pins | Delivers ≥800mA at 5V; requires 10µF MLCC placed adjacent to pins for stability and ripple suppression. |
| FB4 (Pin 10) | Boost regulator feedback input | Servos to 0.80V; external resistor divider sets VOUT4 (e.g., 5V = 1MΩ/160kΩ); enables precision output adjustment. |
| EN3 (Pin 18) | Buck-boost regulator enable input | Active-high digital control; allows system-level sequencing and power-state management of VOUT3 rail. |
| BAT (Pin 32) | Li-Ion battery connection terminal | Direct interface to single-cell battery; supports ideal diode path (internal 180mΩ PMOS + external FET control via GATE). |
| VOUT (Pin 34) | PowerPath output / charger input node | Primary system power rail; dynamically shared between load and battery; maintains >3.5V even at low battery (2.8V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Bat-Track PowerPath | Maintains VOUT ≈ BAT + 0.3V during charging, minimizing voltage drop across internal ideal diode and preserving system uptime. |
| Programmable USB Current Limit | Four discrete settings (100mA/500mA/1A/suspend) selected by ILIM0/ILIM1, ensuring compliance with USB 2.0 and BC1.2 specifications. |
| Integrated Ideal Diode + External FET Control | Internal 180mΩ PMOS plus GATE pin drives external P-channel MOSFET (e.g., Si2333), reducing total forward drop to <2mV at 10mA. |
| Thermal Regulation & NTC Monitoring | Automatic charge current reduction above 110°C junction temperature; cold/hot battery fault detection via NTC pin with 1.5% hysteresis. |
| Multi-Mode Regulator Control | MODE pin selects Pulse-Skip (low-noise) or Burst Mode (ultra-low IQ) for bucks/buck-boost; independent ENx pins allow per-rail sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3586EUFE#PBF | 4.2V float voltage; identical pinout and feature set except battery regulation point. | Preferred for standard Li-Ion cells requiring 4.2V termination; not suitable where 4.1V thermal derating is mandated. | Select when datasheet specifies 4.2V nominal cell chemistry and no thermal derating requirement. |
| MAX14744ETA+T | Single buck-boost + charger only; lacks dual bucks, boost, and LDO3V3; 20-pin TQFN. | Targeted at simpler systems needing only one regulated rail; no support for multi-rail SoC power sequencing. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs requiring only basic USB charging and one adjustable output. |
Compared with LTC3586EUFE#PBF and MAX14744ETA+T, the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF provides unique integration of four switching regulators plus an always-on LDO in a single 38-pin QFN-enabling full system power management without external regulators-while its 4.1V float voltage offers tighter thermal safety margins than the 4.2V variant.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF and LTC3586EUFE#PBF?
The LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF features a 4.100V typical battery float voltage, whereas the LTC3586EUFE#PBF uses 4.200V. This 100mV reduction improves thermal safety margin for high-energy-density Li-Polymer cells and aligns with JEITA-recommended derated charging profiles. Both share identical pinout, regulator specs, and PowerPath functionality.
How does the CLPROG pin configure USB current limits on the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF?
The CLPROG pin uses a resistor-to-ground to set the maximum VBUS current: for example, a 3.01kΩ resistor yields ~500mA (5x mode), while 15.0kΩ gives ~100mA (1x mode). The internal servo regulates CLPROG to 1.188V, and the measured VBUS current equals (1.188V / RCLPROG) × hCLPROG, where hCLPROG is mode-dependent (1133 mA/mA in 5x mode).
Can the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF operate without an external NTC thermistor?
Yes - the NTC pin can be grounded to disable thermal monitoring. However, doing so removes overtemperature and cold-temperature charge suspension, violating UL/IEC 62368-1 battery safety requirements. For certified designs, a properly biased NTC network (VBUS → bias resistor → NTC → GND) is mandatory to enable VCOLD/VHOT fault detection.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the buck-boost regulator (VOUT3) on the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF?
The buck-boost regulator (VOUT3) operates down to VIN3 = 2.7V, with a minimum regulated output of 2.75V in both PWM and Burst modes. Below 2.7V input, regulation is not guaranteed; the device enters UVLO and disables SWAB3/SWCD3 switching. Startup requires VIN3 ≥ 2.8V to ensure reliable soft-start initiation.
Does the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF support automatic USB suspend detection?
Yes - the LTC3586EUFE-1#PBF detects USB suspend via the ILIM0/ILIM1 pins configured to "Suspend" (ILIM1=1, ILIM0=0), reducing VBUS quiescent current to 0.38mA (typical) and disabling all switching regulators except the always-on LDO3V3. No external USB transceiver or protocol stack is needed; detection is purely based on programmed current-limit state.
