DescripTion
The
LTC
®
1734
is a low cost, single cell, constant-current/
constant-voltage Li-Ion battery charger controller. When
combined with a few external components, the TSOT-23
package forms a very small, low cost charger for single
cell lithium-ion batteries.
The LTC1734 is available in 4.1V and 4.2V versions with
1% accuracy. Constant current is programmed using a
single external resistor between the PROG pin and ground.
Manual shutdown is accomplished by floating the program
resistor while removing input power automatically puts
the LTC1734 into a sleep mode. Both the shutdown and
sleep modes drain near zero current from the battery.
Charge current can be monitored via the voltage on the
PROG pin allowing a microcontroller or ADC to read the
current and determine when to terminate the charge cycle.
The output driver is both current limited and thermally
protected to prevent the LTC1734 from operating outside
of safe limits. No external blocking diode is required.
The LTC1734 can also function as a general purpose current
source or as a current source for charging nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries using
external termination.

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 LTC1734E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature range and 0°C to 100°C junction
temperature range. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
ambient temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Assumes that the external PNP pass transistor has negligible B-C
reverse-leakage current when the collector is biased at 4.2V (V
BAT
) and the
base is biased at 5V (V
CC
).
Note 4:
Assumes that the external PNP pass transistor has negligible B-E
reverse-leakage current when the emitter is biased at 0V (V
CC
) and the
base is biased at 4.2V (V
BAT
).
Note 5:
The 4.68V maximum undervoltage lockout (UVLO) exit threshold
must first be exceeded before the minimum V
CC
specification applies.
Short duration drops below the minimum V
CC
specification of several
microseconds or less are ignored by the UVLO. If manual shutdown
is entered, then V
CC
must be higher than the 4.68V maximum UVLO
threshold before manual shutdown can be exited. When operating near
the minimum V
CC
, a suitable PNP transistor with a low saturation voltage
must be used.

pin FuncTions
I
SENSE
(Pin 1):
Sense Node for Charge Current. Current
from V
CC
passes through the internal current sense resistor
and reappears at I
SENSE
to supply current to the external
PNP emitter. The PNP collector provides charge current
to the battery.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground. Provides a reference for the internal
voltage regulator and a return for all internal circuits. When
in the constant voltage mode, the LTC1734 will precisely
regulate the voltage between the BAT and GND pins. The
battery ground should connect close to the GND pin to
avoid voltage drop errors.
V
CC
(Pin 3):
Positive Input Supply Voltage. This pin sup-
plies power to the internal control circuitry and external
PNP transistor through the internal current sense resistor.
This pin should be bypassed to ground with a capacitor
in the range of 1µF to 10µF.
PROG (Pin 4):
Charge Current Programming, Charge Cur-
rent Monitor and Manual Shutdown Pin. Provides a virtual
reference voltage of 1.5V for an external resistor (R
PROG
)
tied between this pin and ground that programs the bat-
tery charge current when the charger is in the constant
current mode. The typical charge current will be 1000
times greater than the current through this resistor (I
BAT
= 1500/R
PROG
). This pin also allows for the charge current
to be monitored. The voltage on this pin is proportional
to the charge current where 1.5V corresponds to the full
programmed current. Floating this pin allows an internal
current source to pull the pin voltage above the shutdown
threshold voltage. Because this pin is in a signal path,
excessive capacitive loading can cause AC instability.
See the Applications Information section for more details.
BAT (Pin 5):
Battery Voltage Sense Input. A precision
internal resistor divider sets the final float voltage on this
pin. This divider is disconnected in the manual shutdown
or sleep mode. When charging, approximately 34µA
flows into the BAT pin. To minimize float voltage errors,
avoid excessive resistance between the battery and the
BAT pin. For dynamically stable operation, this pin usu-
ally requires a minimum bypass capacitance to ground
of 5µF to frequency compensate for the high frequency
inductive effects of the battery and wiring.
DRIVE (Pin 6):
Base Drive Output for the External PNP
Pass Transistor. Provides a controlled sink current that
drives the base of the PNP. This pin has current limiting
protection for the LTC1734.
