No external current sense resistor is needed and no
blocking diode is required due to the internal MOSFET
architecture. The charge current and charge time can be
set externally with a single resistor and capacitor, respectively. When the input supply (wall adapter) is removed,
the LTC1733 automatically enters a low current sleep
mode, dropping the battery drain current to less than 5µA.
The LTC1733 also includes NTC temperature sensing,
C/10 detection circuitry, AC present logic, 4.1V/4.2V pin
selectability and low battery charge conditioning (trickle
charging).
The LTC1733 is available in a 10-pin thermally enhanced
MSOP package.

The LTC ®1733 is a standalone constant-current/
constant-voltage linear charger for lithium-ion batteries
with an on-chip power MOSFET. Internal thermal feedback
regulates the charge current to limit die temperature
during high power operation or high ambient temperature
conditions. This feature allows the user to program a high
charge current without risk of damaging the LTC1733 or
the handheld product.

CHRG: Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When the
battery is being charged, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an
internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge current
drops to 10% of the full-scale current, the N-channel
MOSFET latches off and a 25µA current source is connected from the CHRG pin to ground. The C/10 latch can
be cleared by momentarily pulling the PROG pin above the
2.15V shutdown threshold, or by toggling VCC. When the
timer runs out or the input supply is removed, the current
source is disconnected and the CHRG pin is forced to a
high impedance state.
VCC: Positive Input Supply Voltage. When VCC is within
30mV of VBAT or less than the undervoltage lockout
threshold, the LTC1733 enters sleep mode, dropping IBAT
to less than 5µA. VCC can range from 4.5V to 6.5V. Bypass
this pin with at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to ground.
FAULT: Open-Drain Fault Status Output. The FAULT opendrain logic signal indicates that the charger has timed out
under trickle charge conditions (1/4 of total time period) or
the NTC comparator is indicating an out-of-range battery
temperature condition. When VBAT is less that 2.48V,
trickle charging activates whereby the charge current
drops to one tenth of its programmed value and the timer
period is reduced by a factor of four. When one fourth of
the timing period has elapsed, if VBAT is still less than
2.48V, trickle charging stops and the FAULT pin latches to
ground. The fault can be cleared by toggling VCC, momentarily pulling the PROG pin above the 2.15V shutdown
threshold, or pulling the BAT pin above 2.48V. If the NTC
comparator is indicating an out-of-range battery temperature condition, then the FAULT pin will pull to ground until
the temperature returns to the acceptable range.
TIMER: Timer Capacitor. The timer period is set by placing
a capacitor, CTIMER, to ground. The timer period is:
Time (Hours) = (CTIMER • 3 hr)/(0.1µF)
Short the TIMER pin to ground to disable the internal timer
function.
GND: Ground. Connect exposed back package to ground.
NTC: Input to the NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient)
Thermistor Temperature Monitoring Circuit. With an external 10kΩ NTC thermistor to ground and a 1% resistor
to VCC, this pin can sense the temperature of the battery
pack and stop charging when it is out of range. When the
voltage at this pin drops below (0.5)•(VCC) at hot temperatures or rises above (0.875)•(VCC) at cold, charging is
suspended and the internal timer is frozen. The CHRG pin
output status is not affected in this hold state. The FAULT
pin is pulled to ground, but not latched. When the temperature returns to an acceptable range, charging will resume
and the FAULT pin is released. The NTC feature can be
disabled by grounding the NTC pin.
PROG: Charge Current Program, Shutdown Input and
Charge Current Monitor Pin. The charge current is programmed by connecting a resistor, RPROG to ground.
When in constant-current mode, the LTC1733 servos the
PROG pin voltage to 1.5V. In all modes the voltage on the
PROG pin can be used to measure the charge current as
follows:
ICHG = (VPROG/RPROG) • 1000.
The IC can be forced into shutdown by pulling the PROG
pin above the 2.15V shutdown threshold voltage (note: it
will not be pulled up when allowed to float).
SEL: 4.1V/4.2V Battery Selection Input. Grounding this
pin sets the battery float voltage to 4.1V, while connecting
to VCC sets the voltage to 4.2V.
BAT: Charge Current Output. A bypass capacitor of at least
1µF with a 1Ω series resistor is required to minimize ripple
voltage when the battery is not present. A precision
internal resistor divider sets the final float potential on this
pin. The internal resistor divider is disconnected in sleep
and shutdown modes.
ACPR: Open-Drain Power Supply Status Output. When
VCC is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold
and at least 30mV above VBAT, the ACPR pin will pull to
ground. Otherwise, the pin is forced to a high impedance
state.

OPERATIO
The LTC1733 is a linear battery charger designed primarily
for charging single cell lithium-ion batteries. Featuring an
internal P-channel power MOSFET, the charger uses a
constant-current/constant-voltage charge algorithm with
programmable current and a programmable timer for
charge termination. Charge current can be programmed
up to 1.5A with a final float voltage accuracy of ±1%. No
blocking diode or sense resistor is required thus dropping
the external component count to three for the basic
charger circuit. The CHRG, ACPR, and FAULT open-drain
status outputs provide information regarding the status of
the LTC1733 at all times. An NTC thermistor input
provides the option of charge qualification using battery
temperature.
An internal thermal limit reduces the programmed charge
current if the die temperature attempts to rise above a
preset value of approximately 105°C. This feature protects
the LTC1733 from excessive temperature, and allows the
user to push the limits of the power handling capability of
a given circuit board without risk of damaging the LTC1733
or the external components. Another benefit of the LTC1733
thermal limit is that charge current can be set according to
typical, not worst-case, ambient temperatures for a given
application with the assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case conditions.
The charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin
rises above the UVLO level and a program resistor is
connected from the PROG pin to ground. At the beginning
of the charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below 2.48V,
the charger goes into trickle charge mode to bring the cell
voltage up to a safe level for charging. The charger goes
into the fast charge constant-current mode once the
voltage on the BAT pin rises above 2.48V. In constantcurrent mode, the charge current is set by RPROG.
When the battery approaches the final float voltage, the
charge current begins to decrease as the LTC1733 switches
to constant-voltage mode. When the current drops to 10%
of the full-scale charge current, an internal comparator
latches off the MOSFET at the CHRG pin and connects a
weak current source to ground to indicate a near end-ofcharge (C/10) condition. The C/10 latch can be cleared by
momentarily pulling the PROG pin above the 2.15V
shutdown threshold, or momentarily removing and reapplying VCC.
An external capacitor on the TIMER pin sets the total
charge time. When this time elapses the charge cycle
terminates and the CHRG pin assumes a high impedance
state. To restart the charge cycle, simply remove the input
voltage and reapply it, or force the PROG pin above the
2.15V shutdown threshold (note: simply floating the PROG
pin will not restart the charging cycle.
For lithium-ion and similar batteries that require accurate
final float potential, the internal reference, voltage amplifier and the resistor divider provide regulation with ±1%
(max) accuracy.
When the input voltage is not present, the charger goes
into a sleep mode, dropping battery drain current, IBAT, to
less than 5µA. This greatly reduces the current drain on the
battery and increases the standby time. The charger can be
shut down (ICC = 0.9mA) by forcing the PROG pin above
2.15V.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode until VCC
rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold. The UVLO
circuit has a built-in hysteresis of 150mV. Furthermore, to
protect against reverse current in the power MOSFET, the
UVLO circuit keeps the charger in shutdown mode if VCC
falls to within 30mV of the battery voltage. If the UVLO
comparator is tripped, the charger will not come out of
shutdown until VCC rises 60mV above the battery voltage.
Trickle Charge and Defective Battery Detection
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is
low (below 2.48V) the charger goes into trickle charge
reducing the charge current to 10% of the full-scale
current. If the low battery voltage persists for one quarter
of the total charge time, the battery is assumed to be
defective, the charge cycle is terminated, the CHRG pin
output assumes a high impedance state, and the FAULT
pin latches low. The fault can be cleared by toggling VCC,
temporarily forcing the PROG pin above 2.15V, or temporarily forcing the BAT pin voltage above 2.48V.

The LTC1733 can be shutdown (ICC = 0.9mA) by pulling
the PROG pin above the 2.15V shutdown threshold voltage. In shutdown the internal linear regulator is turned off,
and the internal timer is reset.
Recharge
The LTC1733 has the ability to recharge a battery
assuming that the battery voltage has been charged above
4.05V (SEL = 5V) or 3.95V (SEL = 0V). Once above these
thresholds, a new charge cycle will begin if the battery
voltage drops below 4V (SEL = 5V) or 3.9V (SEL = 0V) due
to either a load on the battery or self-discharge. The
recharge circuit integrates the BAT pin voltage for a few
milliseconds to prevent a transient from restarting the
charge cycle.
If the battery voltage remains below 2.48V during trickle
charge for 1/4 of the programmed time, the battery may be
defective and the charge cycle will end. In addition, the
recharge comparator is disabled and a new charge cycle
will not begin unless the input voltage is toggled, the PROG
pin is pulled above the 2.15V shutdown threshold, or the
BAT pin is pulled above the 2.48V trickle charge threshold.
Programming Charge Current
The formula for the battery charge current (see Figure 1)
is:
ICHG = (IPROG) • 1000
= (1.5V / RPROG) • 1000 or
RPROG = 1500/ICHG
where RPROG is the total resistance from the PROG pin to
ground. Under trickle charge conditions, this current is
reduced to 10% of the full-scale value.
For example, if 500mA charge current is required,
calculate:
RPROG = 1500/0.5A = 3kΩ
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% metalfilm resistors are recommended.
If the charger is in constant-temperature or constantvoltage mode, the battery current can be monitored by
measuring the PROG pin voltage as follows:
ICHG = (VPROG / RPROG) • 1000
Programming the Timer
The programmable timer is used to terminate the charge
cycle. The timer duration is programmed by an external
capacitor at the TIMER pin. The total charge time is:
Time (Hours) = (3 Hours) • (CTIMER / 0.1µF) or
CTIMER = 0.1µF • Time (Hours)/3 (Hours)
The timer starts when an input voltage greater than the
undervoltage lockout threshold level is applied and the
program resistor is connected to ground. After a time-out
occurs, the charge current stops, and the CHRG output
assumes a high impedance state to indicate that the
charging has stopped. Connecting the TIMER pin to ground
disables the timer function.

Open-Drain Status Outputs
The LTC1733 has three open-drain status outputs: ACPR,
CHRG and FAULT. The ACPR pin pulls low when an input
voltage greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold is
applied and goes high impedance when power (VIN < VUV)
is removed. CHRG and FAULT work together to indicate
the status of the charge cycle. Table 1 describes the status
of the charge cycle based on the CHRG and FAULT
outputs.
