Single Cell 4.2V, 1A, Standalone Li-Ion Battery Charger
The LTC
®
4052 is a complete standalone pulse charger
with integrated MOSFET for 1-cell lithium-ion batteries.
An external sense resistor provides overcurrent limiting as
a safety precaution against a user connecting a wall
adapter with the incorrect or no current limit. The internal
MOSFET prevents reverse battery current from flowing if
the input voltage is shorted to ground, eliminating the
need for a blocking diode.
As the battery accepts charge and approaches the
programmed float voltage, the internal MOSFET begins
switching off and on with the duty cycle gradually decreas-
ing as the battery approaches a fully charged condition.
A programmable timer terminates the charge cycle. The
near end-of-charge C/10 condition is indicated at the
CHRG pin when the average charge current falls to one-
tenth of the wall adapter current. Removing the input
voltage puts the LTC4052 into a sleep mode, dropping the
battery current drain to less than 1µA.
The LTC4052 is available in a tiny 8-pin thermally
enhanced MSOP package.
