LTC4121/LTC4121-4.2
40V 400mA Synchronous
Step-Down Battery Charger
FEATURES
n
n
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
4121
is a 400mA constant-current/constant-
voltage (CC/CV) synchronous step-down battery charger.
In addition to CC/CV operation, the LTC4121 regulates its
input voltage to a programmable percentage of the input
open-circuit voltage. This technique maintains maximum
power transfer with high impedance input sources such
as solar panels.
An external resistor programs the charge current up to
400mA. The LTC4121-4.2 is suitable for charging Li-Ion/
Polymer batteries, while the programmable float voltage
of the LTC4121 is suitable for several battery chemistries.
The LTC4121 and LTC4121-4.2 include an accurate RUN
pin threshold, low voltage battery preconditioning and bad
battery fault detection, timer termination, auto-recharge,
and NTC temperature qualified charging. The
FAULT
pin
provides an indication of bad battery or temperature faults.
Once charging is terminated, the LTC4121 signals end-of-
charge via the
CHRG
pin, and enters a low current SLEEP
mode. An auto-restart feature starts a new charging cycle
if the battery voltage drops by 2.2%.

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 LTC4121 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC4121E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
for junction temperatures from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC4121I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range. 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.
Note 3:
If a battery voltage greater than 11V can be hot plugged to the
LTC4121 a reverse blocking diode is required in series with the BAT pin to
prevent large inrush current into the low impedance BAT pin.
Note 4:
Standby mode occurs when the LTC4121/LTC4121-4.2 stops
switching due to an NTC fault, MPPT pause, or when the charge current
has dropped low enough to enter Burst Mode operation. Disabled mode
occurs when V
RUN
is between V
SD
and V
EN
. Shutdown mode occurs
when V
RUN
is below V
SD
or when the differential undervoltage lockout
is engaged. Sleep mode occurs after a timeout while the battery voltage
remains above the V
RCHG
or V
RCHG_42
threshold.
Note 5:
The internal supply INTV
CC
should only be used for the NTC
divider, it should not be used for any other loads
Note 6:
For the LTC4121, the FB pin is measured with a resistance of 588k
in series with the pin.
Note 7:
h
C/10
is expressed as a fraction of measured full charge current as
measured at the PROG pin voltage when the
CHRG
pin de-asserts.
Note 8:
In an application circuit with an inductor connected from SW to
CHGSNS, the total battery leakage current when disabled is the sum of
I
BATSNS
and I
SW
(LTC4121-4.2) or I
BAT
and I
FBG_LEAK
and I
SW
(LTC4121).
Note 9:
When no supply is present at IN, the SW powers IN through the
body diode of the top side switch. This may cause additional SW pin
current depending on the load present at IN.
Note 10:
Guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
