Description
AI
The LT1571 PWM battery charger is a simple, efficient solution to fast-charge rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) using constant-current and/or constant-voltage control. The internal switch is capable of delivering 1.5A DC current (2A peak current). The onboard current sense resistor (0.1Ω) allows simple charge current programming to within 5% accuracy using a low cost external resistor. The constant-voltage output can be selected for 4.1V or 4.2V per cell with 0.6% accuracy.LT1571 can charge batteries ranging from 1V to 20V. A saturating switch operating at 200kHz (LT1571-1, LT1571-2) or 500kHz (LT1571-5) gives high efficiency and small charger size. A logic output (flag) indicates Li-Ion near full charge when the charge current drops to 20% of the programmed value. The LT1571-1 and LT1571-2 are in a 28-pin fused lead narrow SSOP power package. The LT1571-5 is in a 16-pin fused lead narrow SSOP power package.ApplicationsCellular Phones, PDAs, Notebook Computers, Portable InstrumentsCradle Chargers for Li-Ion, NiCd, NiMH and Lead-Acid Rechargeable Batteries
