The LTC
®
1732-8.4 is a complete constant-current/con-
stant-voltage linear charge controller for lithium-ion
(Li-Ion) batteries. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal-
hydride (NiMH) batteries can also be charged with con-
stant current using external termination. Charge current
can be programmed with
±7%
accuracy using external
sense and program resistors. An internal resistor divider
and precision reference set the final float voltage with
±1%
accuracy.
When the input supply is removed, the LTC1732-8.4
automatically enters a low current sleep mode, dropping
the battery drain current to 10µA. An internal comparator
detects the end-of-charge (C/10) condition while a pro-
grammable timer, using an external capacitor, sets the
total charge time. Fully discharged cells are automatically
trickle charged at 10% of the programmed current until
battery voltage exceeds 4.9V.
The LTC1732-8.4 begins a new charge cycle when a
discharged battery is connected to the charger or when the
input power is applied. In additon, if the battery remains
connected to the charger and the cell voltage drops below
8.05V, a new charge cycle will begin.
The LTC1732-8.4 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package.

LTC1732-8.4
PIN FUNCTIONS
BAT (Pin 1):
Battery Sense Input. A bypass capacitor of
10µF or more is required to keep the loop stable when the
battery is not connected. A precision internal resistor
divider sets the final float voltage. The resistor divider is
disconnected in sleep mode to reduce the current drain on
the battery.
SEL (Pin 2):
This pin must be connected to V
CC
.
CHRG (Pin 3):
Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When
the battery is charging, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an
internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge current
drops to 10% of the full-scale current for more than 15ms,
the N-channel MOSFET turns off and a 35µA current
source is connected from the CHRG pin to GND. When the
timer runs out or the input supply is removed, the current
source is disconnected and the CHRG pin is forced into a
high impedance state.
TIMER (Pin 4):
Timer Capacitor and Constant-Voltage
Mode Disable Input Pin. The timer period is set by placing
a capacitor, C
TIMER
, to GND. The timer period is t
TIMER
=
(C
TIMER
• 3 hours)/(0.1µF). When the TIMER pin is
connected to V
CC
, the timer is disabled, thus the constant-
voltage mode is turned off and the IC will operate in
constant-current mode only. Shorting the TIMER pin to
GND will disable the internal timer function and the
C/10
function.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground.
PROG (Pin 6):
Charge Current Program and Shutdown
Input Pin. The charge current is programmed by connect-
ing a resistor, R
PROG
to ground. The charge current is I
BAT
= (V
PROG
• 800Ω)/(R
PROG
• R
SENSE
). The IC can be forced
into shutdown by floating the PROG pin and allowing the
internal 2.5µA current source to pull the pin above the
2.457V shutdown threshold voltage.
DRV (Pin 7):
Drive Output Pin for the P-Channel MOSFET
or PNP Transistor. If a PNP transistor is used, it must have
high gain (see Applications Information section).
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Input Supply Voltage. V
CC
can range from
8.8V to 12V. If V
CC
drops below V
BAT
+ 54mV, for example
when the input supply is disconnected, then the IC enters
sleep mode with I
CC
< 30µA. Bypass this pin with a 1µF
capacitor.
SENSE (Pin 9):
Current Sense Input. A sense resistor,
R
SENSE
, must be connected from V
CC
to the SENSE pin.
This resistor is chosen using the following equation:
R
SENSE
= (V
PROG
• 800Ω)/(R
PROG
• I
BAT
)
ACPR (Pin 10):
Wall Adapter Present Output. When the
input voltage (wall adapter) is applied to the LTC1732-8.4,
this pin is pulled to ground by an internal N-channel
MOSFET which is capable of sinking 5mA to drive an
external LED (See Applications Information Section).
