for low power portable devices. It provides three high
efficiency switching DC/DC converters which seamlessly
transition from battery to USB/wall adapter power when
available. A synchronous buck-boost regulator provides
complete flexibility, allowing operation from a single
Li-Ion/Polymer battery, 2 to 3 AA cells, a USB port or any
other power source operating from 1.8V to 5.5V.
Two always-alive outputs, a 50mA LDO and a 200mA MAX
output that tracks the higher voltage input supply, provide
power for critical functions or additional external regula-
tors. Flash memory cards can be directly powered from
the protected 100mA Hot Swap output. Pushbutton control
logic and a programmable-duration microprocessor reset
generator simplify interfacing to a microprocessor while
internal sequencing and independent enable pins provide
flexible power-up options. The LTC3101 is available in a low
profile (0.75mm) 24-lead 4mm
×
4mm QFN package.

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 LTC3101 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are ensured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current measurements are performed when the LTC3101 is
not switching. The current limit values measured in operation will be
somewhat higher due to the propagation delay of the comparators.

Note 4:
The LTC3101 is tested in a proprietary non-switching test mode
that internally connects the error amplifiers in a closed-loop configuration.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
