Lithium-Ion Linear

The LTC
®
1732-8.4 is a complete constant-current/con-
stant-voltage linear charge controller for lithium-ion
(Li-Ion) batteries. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal-
hydride (NiMH) batteries can also be charged with con-
stant current using external termination. Charge current
can be programmed with ±7% accuracy using external
sense and program resistors. An internal resistor divider
and precision reference set the final float voltage with ±1%
accuracy.
When the input supply is removed, the LTC1732-8.4
automatically enters a low current sleep mode, dropping
the battery drain current to 10µA. An internal comparator
detects the end-of-charge (C/10) condition while a pro-
grammable timer, using an external capacitor, sets the
total charge time. Fully discharged cells are automatically
trickle charged at 10% of the programmed current until
battery voltage exceeds 4.9V.
The LTC1732-8.4 begins a new charge cycle when a
discharged battery is connected to the charger or when the
input power is applied. In additon, if the battery remains
connected to the charger and the cell voltage drops below
8.05V, a new charge cycle will begin.
The LTC1732-8.4 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package.
