LTC3455
Using the V
The V
devices within the system. This pin is connected to the
battery when no external power is available, and it is
connected to either the USB bus or the wall adapter when
either are available. This ensures that all devices powered
from V
input power source.
The internal PMOS connecting V
current limited to 900mA at startup (to minimize in-rush
current) and to 4A once V
voltage. Because of the reduced startup current limit, the
turn-on of other devices powered from V
always be delayed to minimize the currrent initially needed
from the V
devices from either switcher output, since the turn-on of
both switchers is always delayed until the V
reached the V
to ground when the LTC3455 is shut down, so that any
device supplied by V
during shutdown. This ensures output disconnect for all
supply voltages within the system.

Startup and Shutdown when Battery-Powered
When only battery power is available, the LTC3455 turns
on when either the ON pin is pulled low or the PWRON pin
is pulled high. Either of these pins will keep the device
running, but typically the ON and PWRON pins are used
together to provide turn-on and turn-off using a single
momentary-on push-button switch. Figure 2 shows the
method for using a momentary-on pushbutton to turn the
LTC3455 off and on.
When the momentary-on switch is first pressed, shorting
the ON pin to ground, PBSTAT goes low and the LTC3455
first brings up the V
power the microcontroller. Once up and running, the
microcontroller provides the PWRON signal to keep the
LTC3455 turned on after the push-button is released.
When the push-button is pressed again to turn off the
device, the PBSTAT pin is pulled low to notify the micro-
controller that the push-button has been pressed. The
microcontroller prepares for shutdown then pulls the
PWRON signal low. When the push-button is released, the
ON pin goes high and the LTC3455 turns off. The ON and
PWRON pins enable Switcher 1 (along with all the internal
circuits needed for normal operation), and the ON2 pin
enables Switcher 2. Switcher 2 can only operate when
Switcher 1 is also enabled. The turn-on of both switchers
is always delayed until the V
pin voltage.
