The LT
®
1505 PWM battery charger controller fast charges
multiple battery chemistries including lithium-ion (Li-Ion),
nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd)
using constant-current or constant-voltage control. Maxi-
mum current can be easily programmed by resistors or a
DAC. The constant-voltage output can be selected for 3 or 4
series Li-Ion cells with 0.5% accuracy.
A third control loop limits the current drawn from the AC
adapter during charging*. This allows simultaneous opera-
tion of the equipment and fast battery charging without over-
loading the AC adapter.
The LT1505 can charge batteries ranging from 2.5V to 20V
with dropout voltage as low as 0.5V. Synchronous
N-channel FETs switching at 200kHz give high efficiency
and allow small inductor size. A diode is not required in
series with the battery because the charger automatically
enters a 10µA sleep mode when the wall adapter is un-
plugged. A logic output indicates Li-Ion full charge when
current drops to 20% of the programmed value.
The LT1505 is available in a 28-pin SSOP package.
