LTM8062/LTM8062A
Applications Information
For most applications, the design process is straight
forward, summarized as follows:
1. Look at Table 1 and find the row that has the desired
input voltage range and battery float voltage.
2. Apply the recommended C_IN and R_ADJ values.
3. Connect BIAS as indicated.
While these component combinations have been tested
for proper operation, it is incumbent upon the user to
verify proper operation over the intended system’s line,
load and environmental conditions. Bear in mind that the
maximum output current is limited by junction tempera-
ture, the relationship between the input and output voltage
magnitude and polarity and other factors. Please refer to
the graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section for guidance.

*Operating range, V_IN must be 3.3V above V_BAT to start. Input bulk
capacitance is required.
V_IN Input Supply
The LTM8062/LTM8062A are biased directly from the
charger input supply through the V_IN pin. This pin pro-
vides large switched currents, so a high quality low ESR
decoupling capacitor is recommended to minimize volt-
age glitches on V_IN. 4.7μF is typically adequate for most
charger applications.
Reverse Protection Diode
The LTM8062/LTM8062A integrate a high voltage power
Schottky diode to provide input reverse voltage protec-
tion. The anode of this diode is connected to V_INA, and
the cathode is connected to V_IN. There is a small amount
of capacitance at each end; please see the Block Diagram.
The integrated diode can also be used to block battery
discharge leakage paths. The LTM8062/LTM8062A switch
and drive circuitry are designed to stand off some reverse
voltage from BAT to V_IN, but leakage paths exist that can
put a small load on the battery if V_IN falls below BAT.
Specifically, the RUN pin has a small bias current and
there is a 100k resistor tied to V_INREG to GND. If either
of these pins is connected to V_IN when it is below BAT,
it can present a small but finite discharge current to the
battery. This discharge current may be blocked by the
integrated Schottky diode if the RUN and V_INREG circuits
are tied to V_INA.
Input Supply Voltage Regulation
The LTM8062/LTM8062A contain a voltage monitor pin
that enables programming a minimum operational volt-
age. There is a 1% 100k resistor from V_INREG to GND.
Connecting a resistor from V_IN to the V_INREG pin enables
programming of minimum input supply voltage, typically
used to program the peak power voltage for a solar panel.
Maximum charge current is reduced when the V_INREG pin
is below the regulation threshold of 2.7V.
If the V_INREG function is not used, and if the input supply
cannot provide enough power to satisfy the requirements
of an LTM8062/LTM8062A charger, the input supply voltage
