age battery charger controller. It uses a synchronous
quasi-constant frequency PWM control architecture
that will not generate audible noise with ceramic bulk
capacitors. Charge current is set by external resis-
tors and can be monitored as an output voltage.
With no built-in termination, the LTC4012 family charges
a wide range of batteries under external control.
The LTC4012 features fully adjustable output voltage, while
the LTC4012-1 and LTC4012-2 can be pin-programmed for
Lithium-Ion/Polymer battery packs of 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-series
cells. The LTC4012-1 provides output voltage of 4.1V/cell
and the LTC4012-2 is a 4.2V/cell version.
The device includes AC adapter input current limiting, which
maximizes charge rate for a fixed input power level. An
external sense resistor programs the input current limit,
and the
ICL
status pin indicates reduced charge current as
a result of AC adapter current limiting. Ideal diode control
at the adaptor input improves charger efficiency.
The
CHRG
status pin is active during all charging modes,
including special indication for low charge current.
