charge control for Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries.
Precision (0.5%) End-of-Charge Control
The LM3420 is available in five fixed voltage versions
for one through four cell charger applications (4.2V,
Drive Capability for External Power Stage
8.2V/8.4V, 12.6V and 16.8V respectively).
Low Quiescent Current, 85 μA (Typ.)
Included in a very small package is an (internally
compensated) op amp, a bandgap reference, an NPN

output transistor, and voltage setting resistors. The
Lithium-Ion Battery Charging
amplifier's inverting input is externally accessible for
Suitable for Linear and Switching Regulator
loop frequency compensation. The output is an open-
Charger Designs emitter NPN transistor capable of driving up to 15 mA
of output current into external circuitry.
A trimmed precision bandgap reference utilizes
temperature drift curvature correction for excellent
voltage stability over the operating temperature
range. Available with an initial tolerance of 0.5% for
the A grade version, and 1% for the standard version,
the LM3420 allows for precision end-of-charge control
for Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries.
The LM3420 is available in a sub-miniature 5-lead
surface mount package thus allowing very compact
designs.
