The LTC4001-1 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, temperature qualified charging and overvoltage protection. The LTC4001-1 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 16-lead (4mm × 4mm) QFN package.Float VoltageLTC40014.2VLTC4001-14.1VApplicationsHandheld Battery-Powered DevicesHandheld ComputersCharging Docks and CradlesDigital CamerasSmart Phones

The LTC4002 is a complete battery charger controller for one (4.2V) or two (8.4V) cell lithium-ion batteries. With a 500kHz switching frequency, the LTC4002 provides a small, simple and efficient solution to fast charge Li-Ion batteries from a wide range of supply voltages. An external sense resistor sets the charge current with ±5% accuracy. An internal resistor divider and precision reference set the final float voltage to 4.2V per cell with ±1% accuracy.When the input supply is removed, the LTC4002 automatically enters a low current sleep mode, dropping the battery drain current to 10µA. An internal comparator detects the near end-of-charge condition while an internal timer sets the total charge time and terminates the charge cycle. After the charge cycle ends, if the battery voltage drops below 4.05V per cell, a new charge cycle will automatically begin.The LTC4002 is available in the 8-lead SO and 10-lead DFN packages.ApplicationsPortable ComputersCharging DocksHandheld Instruments

Charging automatically resumes when the cell voltage falls below 3.9V/cell.Fully discharged cells are automatically trickle charged at 10% of the programmed current until the cell voltage exceeds 2.5V/cell. Charging terminates if the low-battery condition persists for more than 25% of the total charge time.The LTC4006 includes a thermistor sensor input that suspends charging if an unsafe temperature condition is detected and automatically resumes charging when the battery temperature returns to within safe limits.ApplicationsNotebook ComputersPortable InstrumentsBattery-Backup SystemsStandalone Li-Ion Chargers
