OPERATION
LTC3586/LTC3586-1
Zero Current Comparator
The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current
to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifi er once
the current drops to approximately 65mA. This prevents
the inductor current from reversing in polarity thereby
improving effi ciency at light loads.
Antiringing Control
The antiringing control circuitry prevents high frequency
ringing of the SW pin as the inductor current goes to zero
in discontinuous mode. The damping of the resonant
circuit formed by L and C
pin) is achieved internally by switching a 150Ω resistor
across the inductor.
PMOS Synchronous Rectifi er
To prevent the inductor current from running away,
the PMOS synchronous rectifi er is only enabled when

Output Disconnect and Inrush Limiting
The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter is designed to
allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode
conduction of the internal PMOS rectifi er. This allows V
to go to zero volts during shutdown, drawing zero current
from the input source. It also allows for inrush current
limiting at start-up, minimizing surge currents seen by the
input supply. Note that to obtain the advantage of output
disconnect, there must not be an external Schottky diode
connected between the SW4 and V
Short Circuit Protection
Unlike most boost converters, the LTC3586/LTC3586-1
boost converter allows its output to be short-circuited
due to the output disconnect feature. It incorporates

internal features such as current limit foldback and thermal

V
The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter will maintain
voltage regulation even if the input voltage is above
the output voltage. This is achieved by terminating the
switching of the synchronous PMOS and applying V
statically on its gate. This ensures that the slope of the
inductor current will reverse during the time when cur-
rent is fl owing to the output. Since the PMOS no longer
acts as a low impedance switch in this mode, there will
be more power dissipation within the IC. This will cause
a sharp drop in the effi ciency (see Typical Performance
Characteristics, Boost Effi ciency vs V
output current should be limited in order to maintain an
acceptable junction temperature.
Boost Soft-Start
The LTC3586/LTC3586-1 boost converter provides soft-
start by slowly ramping the peak inductor current from
zero to a maximum of 2.4A in about 500μs. Ramping the
peak inductor current limits transient inrush currents
during start-up. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever the
boost is enabled, or after a fault condition has occurred
(thermal shutdown or UVLO).
Boost Overvoltage Protection
If the FB4 node were inadvertently shorted to ground, then
the boost converter output would increase indefi nitely with
the maximum current that could be sourced from V
LTC3586/LTC3586-1 protects against this by shutting off
the main switch if the output voltage exceeds 5.3V.
