OPERATION
The LT3582 series are dual DC/DC converters, each contain-
ing both a Boost and an Inverting converter. Operation can
be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. The
Boost and Inverting converters each use a novel control
technique, which simultaneously varies both peak inductor
current and switch off time. This results in high effi ciency
over a large load range and low output voltage ripple. In
addition, this technique further minimizes output ripple
when the switching frequency is in the audio band.
Boost Converter: The Boost converter uses a grounded
source NMOS power transistor as the main switching ele-
ment. The current in the NMOS is constantly monitored and
controlled, along with the off-time of the switch to achieve
regulation of V
OUTP
. The V
OUTP
voltage is divided by the
internal programmable (LT3582 only) resistor divider to
create FBP. The voltage on FBP is compared to an internal
reference and amplifi ed, creating an error signal on the
VCP node which commands the appropriate peak inductor
current and off time for the subsequent switching cycle.
Inverting Converter: The Inverting converter uses a power
PMOS transistor with the source connected to V
IN
. This
topology requires only one external inductor, instead of
the normally required two inductors plus fl ying capacitor.
Regulation is achieved in a similar manner as the Boost.
Output Power-Up Sequencing: After an initial start-up
delay (T
START-UP
= 64s typical), the outputs V
OUTP
and
V
OUTN
rise (in magnitude) simultaneously with the LT3582-5/
LT3582-12 or in one of four selectable sequences with
the LT3582. Using the I
2
C interface, the LT3582 outputs
can be confi gured such that (1) they both rise simultane-
ously, (2) V
OUTP
rises to regulation before V
OUTN
rises, (3)
V
OUTN
rises to regulation before V
OUTP
rises, or (4) neither
output rises. The outputs of the LT3582-5 and LT3582-12
are pre-confi gured to rise simultaneously.
The ramp rates of the outputs are proportional to the ramp
rates of their respective RAMP pins. A capacitor is placed
between each RAMP pin and ground. The RAMP pins are
discharged during shutdown. Once enabled, confi gurable
(LT3582) or pre-confi gured (LT3582-5/LT3582-12) cur-
rents charge each RAMP pin in the desired sequence
causing the outputs to rise.
Output Power-Down Discharge: The power-down dis-
charge feature is permanently enabled on the LT3582-5
and LT3582-12 and can be enabled or disabled through
I
2
C on the LT3582. Upon SHDN falling, and when power-
down discharge is enabled, internal transistors will acti-
vate to assist in discharging the outputs toward ground.
When power-down discharge is disabled, the chip powers
down immediately after SHDN falls and the outputs will
discharge on their own depending on their external load
capacitances and currents.
OTP Memory (LT3582 Only): The LT3582 includes 22 bits
of user programmable output settings and 1 programming
lockout bit. Parameters such as positive and negative output
voltages and power sequencing settings can be changed
in real time with the integrated I
2
C interface. Settings can
then be made permanent by programming to the on-chip
non-volatile OTP (One Time Programmable) memory.

C Interface
The LT3582 series contains an I
2
C compatible interface
allowing it to be digitally confi gured. The use of this interface
is optional for the LT3582-5 and LT3582-12 as these parts
are pre-confi gured at the factory. The CA, SDA and SCL
pins can be grounded if the I
2
C interface is unused.
The I
2
C interface has reduced input threshold voltages to
allow for direct communication with low voltage digital
ICs (see Electrical Characteristics). I
2
C communication
is disabled when SHDN is low. After SHDN rises, I
2
C
communication is re-enabled after a delay of 64s (typical).
The chip is a read-write slave device which allows the user
to read the current settings and, for the LT3582, write
new ones. Most settings can be made permanent via the
One-Time-Programmable memory. The chip will always
enable using the data stored in OTP and the LT3582 can
be reconfi gured after power-up.
START and STOP Conditions
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA are high. A bus
master signals the beginning of a transmission with a START
condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL
is high, as shown in Figure 1. When the master has fi nished
communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition
by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high.
The bus is then free for another transmission.
ACKnowledge
The acknowledge signal (ACK) is used in handshaking
between transmitter and receiver to indicate that the most
recent byte of data was received. The transmitter always
releases the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse.
When the slave is the receiver, it pulls down the SDA line
so that it remains LOW during this pulse to acknowledge
receipt of the data. If the slave fails to acknowledge
by leaving SDA high, then the master may abort the
transmission by generating a STOP condition. When the
master is receiving data from the slave, the master pulls
down the SDA line during the clock pulse to indicate receipt
of the data. After the last byte has been received the master
leaves the SDA line HIGH (not acknowledge) and issues a
stop condition to terminate the transmission.
Device Addressing
The LT3582 series supports two 7-bit chip addresses
depending on the logic state of the CA pin. The addresses
are 0110 001 (CA = 1) and 1000 101 (CA = 0). Also, there
are seven internal data byte locations as shown in Table 1.
OTP0-OTP2 are the OTP memory bytes. REG0-REG2
are the corresponding volatile registers used for storing
alternate settings. Finally, the Command Register (CMDR)
is used for additional control of the chip.

All data bytes can be read from their assigned register
addresses. Since they share the same register addresses,
reads of the OTP and REG data bytes are differentiated
by their corresponding RSEL (Register Select) bits in the
CMDR register. All data written to register addresses 0-2 is
stored in REGO-REG2. Regardless of the RSEL bits, OTP
bytes cannot be written directly. See the OTP Programming
section for more information.
Data Transfer Protocol
The LT3582 series supports 8-bit data transfers in the
transaction formats shown in Figures 2 and 3. Multiple
data bytes can only be transferred by issuing multiple
transactions.
Figure 2 shows the required format for writing a byte of
data to the LT3582 series. Again, the chip address depends
on the CA pin logic state.

C Byte Write Transaction
A byte of data is read from the LT3582 series using the

bytes to read one byte of chip data and must be repeated
for each subsequent byte of data that is read.

LT3582 Chip Confi guration
Settings such as output voltages and sequencing are
digitally programmable. The chip uses settings from either
the REG or OTP bytes, depending on the states of the
corresponding RSEL bits (0 for OTP and 1 for REG).
During shutdown the RSEL bits are reset low. As a result,
the initial confi guration comes from the OTP data bytes.
After power-up, the confi guration can be changed by writing
new settings to the appropriate REG data byte(s) then
setting the corresponding RSEL bit(s).
Finally, data in the REG bytes can be permanently
programmed to OTP by applying voltage to the V
PP
pin
and setting the WOTP bit in the Command Register. See
the
OTP Programming
section for more information.
LT3582-5/LT3582-12 Chip Confi guration
The LT3582-5/LT3582-12 are shipped from the factory with
the OTP memory pre-programmed and LOCKed which
prohibits subsequent changes to the confi guration. The
confi guration can still be read through the I
2
C bus and
the RST and SWOFF bits of the CMDR register (described
later) are functional. The following sections describe the
various confi gurable features of the LT3582. The LT3582-5
and LT3582-12 are pre-confi gured as follows: V
P
and V
N
are programmed for ±5V or ±12V respectively, LOCK = 1,
IRMP = 00, PDDIS = 1, PUSEQ = 11 and V
PLUS
may be 1
or 0. Since LOCK = 1, subsequent confi guration changes
are prohibited. See
Confi guration Lockout (LOCK Bit)
for
more information.
Registers and OTP
The registers and OTP bytes for the LT3582 series are
organized as shown in Table 1. The CMDR is reset to 00h
upon power-up, during shutdown and during undervoltage
and thermal lockouts.
REG0-REG2 are never reset and must
always be loaded with valid data before use.
The LT3582’s
OTP memory is shipped with all 0’s, and as a result, the
PUSEQ bits are confi gured to disable the outputs. The
PUSEQ bits must be reconfi gured to enable the outputs.
