DESCRIPTION

Linear USB Battery Charger 

with Buck and 

Buck-Boost Regulators

The LTC

®

3558 is a USB battery charger with dual high ef-

fi ciency switching regulators. The device is ideally suited 
to power single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer based handheld ap-
plications needing multiple supply rails. 

Battery charge current is programmed via the PROG pin 
and the HPWR pin with capability up to 950mA of current 
at the BAT pin. The 

CHRG

 pin allows battery status to be 

monitored continuously during the charging process. An 
internal timer controls charger termination.

The part includes monolithic synchronous buck and buck-
boost regulators that can provide up to 400mA of output 
current each and operate at effi ciencies greater than 90% 
over the entire Li-Ion/Polymer battery range. The buck-
boost regulator can regulate its programmed output voltage 
at its rated deliverable current over the entire Li-Ion range 
without drop out, increasing battery runtime.

The LTC3558 is offered in a low profi le (0.75mm), thermally 
enhanced, 20-lead (3mm 

×

 3mm) QFN package.
