4-Switch Buck-Boost Controller +
Switching Bias Supply
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3777
is a high performance buck-boost switching
regulator controller that operates from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage. The constant
frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable
frequency of up to 600kHz, while an input/output constant
current loop provides support for battery charging. The
150V integrated switching bias supply is a high efficiency
step-down regulator that draws only 12µA typical DC supply
current with a regulated output voltage at no load.
With a wide 4.5V to 150V input and output range and
seamless transfers between operating regions, the
LTC3777 is ideal for industrial, telecom and battery-
powered systems.
The LTC3777 features a power good output indicator
and a MODE pin to select between pulse-skipping mode
or forced continuous mode of operation. The PLLIN pin
allows the IC to be synchronized to an external clock. The
SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up. Current
foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-
circuit conditions.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3777 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3777E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3777I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
),
where
θ
JA
= 36°C/W for the e-LQFP package.
Note 3:
This IC includes over temperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4:
When biased from an auxiliary supply through the EXTV
CC
pin, the
LTC3777 can operate from a V
IN
voltage lower than 4.5V. Otherwise the
minimum V
IN
operational voltage is 4.5V after startup.
Note 5:
The LTC3777 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB
.
Note 6:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications information.
Note 7:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels.
Delay times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 8:
Do not apply a voltage or current source to these pins. They must
be connected to capacitive loads only, otherwise permanent damage may
occur. These pins are rated for an absolute maximum voltage of –0.3V
to 11V.
Note 9:
Guaranteed by design and wafer level measurements.
