LTC4001-1
2A Synchronous
Buck Li-Ion Charger
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4001-1 is a 2A Li-Ion battery charger intended for
5V wall adapters. It utilizes a 1.5MHz synchronous buck
converter topology to reduce power dissipation during
charging. Low power dissipation, an internal MOSFET and
sense resistor allow a physically small charger that can be
embedded in a wide range of handheld applications. The
LTC4001-1 includes complete charge termination circuitry,
automatic recharge and a ±1% 4.1V float voltage. Input
short-circuit protection is included so no blocking diode
is required.
This 4.1V version of the standard LTC4001 is intended
for applications which will be operated or stored above
approximately 60°C. Under these conditions, the reduced
float voltage will trade-off initial cell capacity for the benefit
of increased capacity retention over the life of the battery. A
reduced float voltage also minimizes swelling in prismatic
and polymer cells, and avoids open CID (pressure fuse)
in cylindrical cells.
Battery charge current, charge timeout and end-of-charge
indication parameters are set with external components.
Additional features include shorted cell detection, tempera-
ture qualified charging and overvoltage protection. The
LTC4001-1 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 16-lead
(4mm × 4mm) QFN package.
