LT1769
Constant-Current/
Constant-Voltage 2A Battery
Charger with Input Current Limiting
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1769 current mode PWM battery charger is a
simple, efficient solution to fast charge modern recharge-
able batteries including lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel-metal-
hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) that require
constant-current and/or constant-voltage charging. The
internal switch is capable of delivering 2A** DC current
(3A peak current). Charge current can be programmed by
resistors or a DAC to within 5%. With 0.5% reference voltage
accuracy, the LT1769 meets the critical constant-voltage
charging requirement for Li-Ion cells.
A third control loop is provided to regulate the current
drawn from the input AC adapter. This allows simulta-
neous operation of the equipment and battery charging
without overloading the adapter. Charge current is reduced
to keep the adapter current below specified levels.
The LT1769 can charge batteries ranging from 1V to 20V.
Ground sensing of current is not required and the battery’s
negative terminal can be tied directly to ground. A saturat-
ing switch running at 200kHz gives high charging effi-
ciency and small inductor size. A blocking diode is not
required between the chip and the battery because the
chip goes into sleep mode and drains only 3µA when the
wall adapter is unplugged.
