The LTC
®
1732 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear charger 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% (max) accuracy using exter-
nal sense and program resistors. An internal resistor
divider and precision reference set the final float voltage
with 1% accuracy. The SEL pin allows users to charge
either 4.1V or 4.2V cells.
When the input supply is removed, the LTC1732 automati-
cally enters a low current sleep mode, dropping the battery
drain current to 7µA. An internal comparator detects the
end-of-charge (C/10) condition while a programmable
timer, using an external capacitor, sets the total charge
time. Fully discharged cells are automatically trickle charged
at 10% of the programmed current until cell voltage
exceeds 2.457V.
The LTC1732 begins a new charge cycle when a discharged
battery is connected to the charger or when the input power
is applied. In addition, if the battery remains connected to
the charger and the cell voltage drops below 3.8V for the
LTC1732-4 or below 4.05V for the LTC1732-4.2, a new
charge cycle will automatically begin.
The LTC1732 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package.

LTC1732-4/LTC1732-4.2
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 on this pin sets the final float potential. The resistor
divider is disconnected in sleep mode to reduce the
current drain on the battery.
SEL (Pin 2):
4.1V/4.2V Battery Selection Input Pin. Ground-
ing this pin will set the output float voltage to 4.1V per cell,
while connecting to V
CC
will set the voltage to 4.2V per cell.
For the LTC1732-4.2, the SEL pin must be connected to
V
CC
.
CHRG (Pin 3):
Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When
the battery is being charged, 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 will be 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
(hours) = (C
TIMER
• 3 hours)/(0.1µF). When the TIMER pin
is connected to V
CC
, the timer is disabled, the constant-
voltage mode is disabled and the chip 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 pass transistor is used, select
a high beta transistor to minimize the charge current error
due to the base current.
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Positive Input Supply Voltage. When V
BAT
is
within 54mV of V
CC
, the LTC1732 is forced into sleep
mode, dropping I
CC
to 7µA. V
CC
ranges from 4.5V to 12V.
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) greater than the undervoltage
lockout threshold is applied to the LTC1732, this pin is
pulled to ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET that is
capable of sinking 5mA to drive an external LED.
