The LTC
®
4009 is a constant-current/constant-voltage
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 the combination of external
sense, input and programming resistors. With no built-in
termination, the LTC4009 family charges a wide range of
batteries under external control.
The LTC4009 features a fully adjustable output voltage, while
the LTC4009-1 and LTC4009-2 can be pin-programmed for
lithium-ion/polymer battery packs of 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-series
cells. The LTC4009-1 provides output voltage of 4.1V/cell,
and the LTC4009-2 is a 4.2V/cell version.
The device includes AC adapter input current limiting which
maximizes the charge rate for a fixed input power level. An
external sense resistor programs the input current limit, and
the ICL status pin indicates when the battery charge current
is being reduced as a result of AC adapter current limiting.
The CHRG status pin is active during all charging modes,
including special indication for low charge current.
