The LTC
®
1734L is a low cost, single cell, constant-current/
constant-voltage Li-Ion battery charger controller. When
combined with a few external components, the SOT-23
package forms a very small, low cost charger for single cell
lithium-ion batteries. The LTC1734L is a lower charge
current version of the LTC1734.
The LTC1734L provides a fixed float voltage of 4.2V with
1% accuracy (for 4.1V and 4.15V float voltages, contact
LTC Marketing). Constant current is programmed using a
single external resistor between the PROG pin and ground.
Manual shutdown is accomplished by floating the pro-
gram resistor while removing input power automatically
puts the LTC1734L 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 LTC1734L from operating outside
of safe limits. No external blocking diode is required.
The LTC1734L can also function as a general purpose
current source or as a current source for charging nickel-
cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batter-
ies using external termination.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1734LE 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 resis-
tor 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 LTC1734L 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. Supplies
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
Current 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 battery charge current when the charger is in the
constant current mode. The typical charge current will be
250 times greater than the current through this resistor
(I
BAT
= 375/R
PROG
). This pin also allows for the charge
current to be monitored. The voltage on this pin is propor-
tional to the charge current where 1.5V corresponds to the
full programmed currrent. 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 instabil-
ity. 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 usually
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 LTC1734L.
