LTC4054X-4.2

The LTC^®4054 is a complete constant-current/constantvoltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries.Its ThinSOT package and low external component count make the LTC4054 especially well-suited for portable applications. Furthermore, the LTC4054 is specifically designed to work within USB power specifications.

No external sense resistor is needed and no blocking diode is required due to the internal MOSFET architecture. Thermal feedback regulates the charge current to limit the die temperature during high power operation or high ambient temperature. The charge voltage is fixed at 4.2V and the charge current can be programmed externally with a single resistor. The LTC4054 automatically terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops to 1/10th the programmed value after the final float voltage is reached.

When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is removed, the LTC4054 automatically enters a low current state, dropping the battery drain current to less than 2A.The LTC4054 can be put into shutdown mode, reducing the supply current to 25A.

Other features include charge current monitor, undervoltage lockout, automatic recharge and a status pin to indicate charge termination and the presence of input voltage.
