OPERATION
Software Control Mode
Once a power-up sequence is completed, each regulator
may be enabled and disabled individually by the system
as needed for power management requirements by using
the command register bit CNTRL[5]. When CNTRL[5] is
set high the regulators ignore the state of their enable pins
and respond only to I
2
C command register bit settings.
The software control mode bit is reset in the one second
standby and hard reset timer states so a pin strapped
sequence begins at the next LTC3676 power on.
Keep Alive Operation
Each regulator has a dedicated command register keep
alive bit that, when set, forces a regulator to be enabled
regardless of the enable pins, command register enable

or fault shutdown resets the keep alive bits.
POWER OFF SEQUENCING
Sequence down command registers SQD1 and SQD2
are used to set the time, relative to WAKE falling, that a
regulator is disabled either by lowering PWR_ON, or a
fault induced shutdown. Table 10 shows register settings
for SQD1 and SQD2.

Figure 12 shows an example of a shutdown sequence. In
this example, the bits in command registers SQD1 and
SQD2 are set so that LDO2, LDO3, and LDO4 shut off at
the same time as WAKE. Buck2 and Buck4 shut off 100ms
after WAKE. Buck3 shuts off 200ms after wake and Buck1
shuts off 300ms after WAKE.
