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

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.

FAULT DETECTION AND REPORTING
The LTC3676 has fault detection circuits that monitor
for V
IN
undervoltage, die overtemperature, and regulator
output undervoltage. Status of the fault detect circuits is
indicated by the IRQ and PGOOD pins and the IRQSTAT
and PGSTAT status registers.
V
IN
Undervoltage
The undervoltage (UV) circuit monitors the input supply
voltage, V
IN
, and when the voltage falls below 2.45V cre-
ates a FAULT condition that forces the LTC3676 into the
standby
state. The LTC3676 also provides a (UV) warning
that is triggered at user programmable V
IN
voltages as
shown in Table 11.

Over Temperature
To prevent thermal damage the LTC3676 incorporates an
overtemperature (OT) circuit. When the die temperature
reaches 155°C the OT circuits create a FAULT condition
that forces the LTC3676 into standby. When the OT cir
-
cuit detects
the temperature falls below 140°C the FAULT
condition
is cleared. The LTC3676 also has an OT warning
circuit that indicates the die temperature is approaching
the OT fault threshold. The OT warning threshold is user
programmable as shown in Table 12.

PGOOD Status Pin
The PGOOD open-drain status pin is pulled low when all
regulators are disabled. PGOOD is released when all enabled
regulator outputs are above 93% of programmed value.
When any enabled regulator output falls below 92% of its
programmed value for longer than 50µs the PGOOD pin is
pulled low. The 50µs transient filter on PGOOD prevents
PGOOD glitches due to transients. If the error condition
persists for longer than 20ms, the IRQ pin is pulled low and
status register IRQSTAT bit 2 is set to indicate a persistent
PGOOD fault. The PGOOD pin is held low for the duration
of the low output condition plus 1ms. Figure 13 shows the
timing of PGOOD during enable and fault events.

OPERATION
PGSTAT and MSKPG Registers
The power good status of each regulator is accessible
through the LTC3676 I
2
C interface by reading the contents
of the PGSTAT status register. Table 13 shows the PGSTAT
register contents. The data in the PGSTATL register is held
for the length of the low voltage condition plus 1ms. The
data in the PGSTATRT register is held only for the duration
of the low voltage condition.

Each regulator has a corresponding bit in the MSKPG status
register as shown in Table 14. When set, a bit blocks the
PGOOD pin from being pulled low in the event of a low
output voltage fault from its matching regulator. Setting
a bit in the MSKPG command register does not mask the
status in the PGSTAT status register.

IRQ Status Pin
The IRQ pin is pulled and latched low when undervoltage,
overtemperature or persistent PGOOD events occur. The
IRQ pin is cleared by addressing the CLIRQ command
register or by holding ON low for 50ms.
