The LT
®
1571 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.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1571 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Sense resistor R
S1
and package bond wires.
Note 4:
Current (≈ 700µA) flows into the pins during normal operation and
also when an external shutdown signal on the V
C
pin is greater than 0.3V.
Current decreases to
≈
200µA and flows out of the pins when external
shutdown holds the V
C
pin below 0.3V but above shutdown threshold.
Current drops to near zero when input voltage collapses. See External
Shutdown in Applications Information section.
Note 5:
A linear interpolation can be used for reference voltage
specification between 0°C and – 40°C.
Note 6:
Maximum allowable ambient temperature may be limited by power
dissipation. Parts may not necessarily be operated simultaneously at
maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature.
Temperature rise calculations must be done as shown in the Applications
Information section to ensure that maximum junction temperature does
not exceed the 125°C limit. With high power dissipation, maximum
ambient temperature may be less than 70°C.
Note 7:
91% maximum duty cycle is guaranteed by design if V
BAT
or V
X
(see Figure 8 in Application Information) is kept between 3V and 5V.
Note 8:
See “Lithium-Ion Charging Completion” in the Applications
Information section.
