DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4125
is a simple and high performance monolithic
full bridge resonant driver capable of delivering over 5W of
power wirelessly to a properly tuned receiver. The device
controls the current flow in a series connected transmit coil
LC network to create a simple, safe and versatile wireless
power transmitter.
The LTC4125 automatically adjusts its driving frequency
to match the LC network resonant frequency. This
AutoResonant switching allows the device to deliver
maximum power from a low voltage input supply (3V to
5.5V) to a tuned receiver. To optimize system efficiency,
the LTC4125 employs a periodic transmit power search
and adjusts the transmission power based on the receiver
load requirements. The device stops delivering power
during a fault condition, or if a foreign object is detected.
The LTC4125 also includes a programmable maximum
average input current limit and an NTC input as additional
means for foreign object and overload protection. The
LTC4125 is available in a 20-lead low profile (0.75mm)

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC4125 is tested under conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The
LTC4125E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction
temperature. Specifications over the -40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC4125I is guaranteed over the
full -40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The junction
temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
,
in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to the following
formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
), where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal
impedance.
Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these
specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors. This IC includes over temperature protection
that is intended to protect the device during momentary SW MOSFETs
over current situation. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when over
temperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified
maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise noted.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when
overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the
specified maximum operating junction temperature will reduce lifetime.
