LTC4098-3.6
USB Compatible Switching
Power Manager/LiFePO
4
Charger
with Overvoltage Protection
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
4098-3.6 is a high efficiency USB PowerPath
controller and full-featured LiFePO
4
battery charger. It seam-
lessly manages power distribution from multiple sources
including USB, wall adapter, automotive, Firewire or other
high voltage DC/DC converters, and a LiFePO
4
battery.
The LTC4098-3.6 charge algorithm is optimized for LiFePO
4
by implementing a 1-hour float voltage termination timer
and a 0°C to 60°C NTC-based charge qualification range.
Furthermore, completely discharged batteries are charged
at the full programmed charge current.
The LTC4098-3.6’s switching regulator can automatically
limit its input current for USB compatibility. For automo-
tive and other high voltage applications, the LTC4098-3.6
interfaces with an external switching regulator. Both the
USB input and the auxiliary input controller feature Bat-
Track optimized charging to provide maximum power to
the application and reduced heat in high power density ap-
plications with input supplies from 5V to as high as 38V.
An overvoltage protection circuit guards the LTC4098-3.6
from high voltage damage on the VBUS pin with just two
external components.
The LTC4098-3.6 is available in a 20-lead 3mm
×

0.75mm QFN surface mount package.

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 LTC4098E-3.6 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that
T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC4098E-3.6 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°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:
The LTC4098E-3.6 includes overtemperature protection that is
intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection
is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability.
