LTC4098/LTC4098-1
OPERATION
The switching input regulator can also be deactivated
(USB suspend).
The average input current will be limited by the CLPROG pro-
gramming resistor according to the following expression:
( ) IVBUS
=
IVBUSQ
+
VCLPROG
RCLPROG
•
hCLPROG + 1
where IVBUSQ is the quiescent current of the LTC4098/
LTC4098-1, VCLPROG is the CLPROG servo voltage in
current limit, RCLPROG is the value of the programming
resistor and hCLPROG is the ratio of the measured current
at VBUS to the sample current delivered to CLPROG. Refer
to the Electrical Characteristics table for values of hCLPROG,
VCLPROG and IVBUSQ. Given worst-case circuit tolerances,
the USB specification for the average input current in 1x
or 5x mode will not be violated, provided that RCLPROG is
3.01k or greater.
Table 1 shows the available settings for the D0, D1 and
D2 pins.

Notice that when D0 is high and D1 is low, the switching
regulator is set to a higher current limit for increased
charging and power availability at VOUT. These modes will
typically be used when there is line power available from
a wall adapter.
While not in current limit, the switching regulator’s
Bat-Track feature will set VOUT to approximately 300mV
above the voltage at BAT. However, if the voltage at BAT
is below 3.3V, and the load requirement does not cause
the switching regulator to exceed its current limit, VOUT
will regulate at a fixed 3.6V, as shown in Figure 2. This
instant-on operation will allow a portable product to run
immediately when power is applied without waiting for
the battery to charge.
If the load does exceed the current limit at VBUS, VOUT
will range between the no-load voltage and slighly below
the battery voltage, indicated by the shaded region of
Figure 2.
