The LTC
®
4068 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries.
Its DFN package and low external component count make
the LTC4068 ideally suited for portable applications. Fur-
thermore, the LTC4068 is designed to work within USB
power specifications.
No external sense resistor or external blocking diode are
required due to the internal MOSFET architecture. Thermal
feedback regulates the charge current to limit the die
temperature during high power operation or high ambient
temperature conditions. The charge voltage is fixed at
4.2V and the charge current is programmed with a resis-
tor. The LTC4068 terminates the charge cycle when the
charge current drops below the programmed termination
threshold after the final float voltage is reached.
When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is
removed, the LTC4068 enters a low current state dropping
the battery drain current to less than 2µA. Other features
include charge current monitor, undervoltage lockout,
automatic recharge and status pins to indicate charge
termination and the presence of adequate input voltage.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC4068E-4.2/LTC4068XE-4.2 are 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:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board will result in a thermal resistance much higher than 40°C/W.
Note 4:
Supply current includes PROG pin current and ITERM pin current
(approximately 100µA each) but does not include any current delivered to
the battery through the BAT pin (approximately 100mA).
Note 5:
This parameter is not applicable to the LTC4068X.

ITERM (Pin 1):
Charge Termination Program. The charge
termination current threshold current is programmed by
connecting a 1% resistor, R
TERM
, to ground. The current
threshold I
TERM
, is set by the following formula:
voltage. This divider is disconnected in shutdown mode to
minimize current drain from the battery.
CHRG (Pin 3):
Charge Status Open-Drain Output. When
the battery is charging, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an
internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge cycle is
completed, CHRG becomes high impedance.
GND (Pins 4, 9):
Ground/Exposed Pad. The exposed
backside package pad (Pin 9) is electrical ground and
must be soldered to the PC board for maximum heat
transfer.
