The LTC®4090/LTC4090-5 are USB power managers plus
high voltage Li-Ion/Polymer battery chargers. The devices
control the total current used by the USB peripheral for
operation and battery charging. Battery charge current
is automatically reduced such that the sum of the load
current and the charge current does not exceed the programmed input current limit. The LTC4090/LTC4090-5
also accommodate high voltage power supplies, such as
12V AC/DC wall adapters, Firewire, or automotive power.
n
The LTC4090 provides a Bat-Track adaptive output that
tracks the battery voltage for high efficiency charging from
the high voltage input. The LTC4090-5 provides a fixed 5V
output from the high voltage input to charge single-cell
Li-Ion batteries. The charge current is programmable and an
end-of-charge status output (CHRG) indicates full charge.
Also featured are programmable total charge time, an NTC
thermistor input used to monitor battery temperature while
charging and automatic recharging of the battery.

where VHVIN(MIN) is the minimum input voltage, and
tOFF(MIN) is the minimum switch-off time (150ns). Note
that higher switching frequency will increase the minimum
input voltage. If a lower dropout voltage is desired, a lower
switching frequency should be used.
While the high voltage regulator output is in start-up,
short-circuit, or other overload conditions, the switching
frequency should be chosen according to the following
discussion.
Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current
For safe operation at inputs up to 60V the switching frequency must be low enough to satisfy VHVIN(MAX) ≥ 40V
according to the following equation. If lower VHVIN(MAX)
is desired, this equation can be used directly.
VHVIN(MAX ) =
VHVOUT + VD
– VD + VSW
fSW • t ON(MIN)
where VHVIN(MAX) is the maximum operating input voltage,
VHVOUT is the high voltage regulator output voltage, VD is
the catch diode drop (~0.5V), VSW is the internal switch
drop (~0.5V at max load), fSW is the switching frequency
(set by RT), and tON(MIN) is the minimum switch-on time
(~150ns). Note that a higher switching frequency will depress the maximum operating input voltage. Conversely,
a lower switching frequency will be necessary to achieve
safe operation at high input voltages.
If the output is in regulation and no short-circuit, start-up, or
overload events are expected, then input voltage transients
of up to 60V are acceptable regardless of the switching
frequency. In this mode, the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 may
A good choice for the inductor value is L = 6.8µH (assuming a 800kHz operating frequency). With this value the
maximum load current will be ~2.4A. The RMS current
rating of the inductor must be greater than the maximum
load current and its saturation current should be about
30% higher. Note that the maximum load current will be
programmed charge current plus the largest expected
application load current. For robust operation in fault
conditions, the saturation current should be ~3.5A. To
keep efficiency high, the series resistance (DCR) should
be less than 0.1W. Table 2 lists several vendors and types
that are suitable.

The catch diode conducts current only during switch-off
time. Average forward current in normal operation can
be calculated from:

)
• HVIN HVOUT
VHVIN
where IHVOUT is the output load current. The only reason to
consider a diode with a larger current rating than necessary
for nominal operation is for the worst-case condition of
shorted output. The diode current will then increase to the
typical peak switch current. Peak reverse voltage is equal
to the regulator input voltage. Use a Schottky diode with a
reverse voltage rating greater than the input voltage. The
overvoltage protection feature in the high voltage regulator
will keep the switch off when VHVIN > 40V which allows
the use of 40V rated Schottky even when VHVIN ranges
up to 60V. Table 3 lists several Schottky diodes and their
manufacturers.

High Voltage Regulator Output Capacitor Selection
The high voltage regulator output capacitor has two
essential functions. Along with the inductor, it filters the
square wave generated at the switch pin to produce the
DC output. In this role it determines the output ripple, and
low impedance at the switching frequency is important.
The second function is to store energy in order to satisfy
transient loads and stabilize the LTC4090/LTC4090-5’s
control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low equiva-
20
lent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple
performance. A good starting value is:
COUT =
100
VOUT fSW
where fSW is in MHz, and COUT is the recommended
output capacitance in µF. Use X5R or X7R types. This
choice will provide low output ripple and good transient
response. Transient performance can be improved with a
higher value capacitor if the compensation network is also
adjusted to maintain the loop bandwidth. A lower value of
output capacitor can be used to save space and cost but
transient performance will suffer. See the High Voltage
Regulator Frequency Compensation section to choose an
appropriate compensation network.
When choosing a capacitor, look carefully through the
data sheet to find out what the actual capacitance is under
operating conditions (applied voltage and temperature).
A physically larger capacitor, or one with a higher voltage
rating, may be required. High performance tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors can be used for the output capacitor.
Low ESR is important, so choose one that is intended for
use in switching regulators. The ESR should be specified
by the supplier, and should be 0.05W or less. Such a
capacitor will be larger than a ceramic capacitor and will
have a larger capacitance, because the capacitor must be
large to achieve low ESR.
Ceramic Capacitors
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low
ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems
when used with the high voltage switching regulator due to
their piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation,
the LTC4090/LTC4090-5’s switching frequency depends
on the load current, and at very light loads the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise. Since the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 operate at a lower current limit during Burst
Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet to a casual ear. If this is unacceptable, use a high performance
tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the output.
4090fe

LTC4090/LTC4090-5
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
High Voltage Regulator Frequency Compensation
The LTC4090/LTC4090-5 high voltage regulator uses
current mode control to regulate the output. This simplifies loop compensation. In particular, the high voltage
regulator does not require the ESR of the output capacitor
for stability, so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to
achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. Frequency compensation is provided by the components tied to
the VC pin, as shown in Figure 1. Generally a capacitor
(CC) and a resistor (RC) in series to ground are used. In
addition, there may be a lower value capacitor in parallel.
This capacitor (CF) is not part of the loop compensation
but is used to filter noise at the switching frequency, and
is required only if a phase-lead capacitor is used or if the
output capacitor has high ESR.
Loop compensation determines the stability and transient
performance. Designing the compensation network is a bit
complicated and the best values depend on the application
and in particular the type of output capacitor. A practical
approach is to start with the front page schematic and
tune the compensation network to optimize performance.
Stability should then be checked across all operating conditions, including load current, input voltage and temperature. The LTC1375 data sheet contains a more thorough
discussion of loop compensation and describes how to
test the stability using a transient load. Figure 5 shows
the transient response when the load current is stepped
from 500mA to 1500mA and back to 500mA.
Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation and
Pulse-Skipping Mode
The LTC4090/LTC4090-5 are capable of operating in
either low ripple Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping
mode which are selected using the SYNC pin. Tie the
SYNC pin below VSYNC,L (typically 0.5V) for low ripple
Burst Mode operation or above VSYNC,H (typically 0.8V)
for pulse-skipping mode.
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LTC4090/
LTC4090‑5 can be operated in low ripple Burst Mode
operation which keeps the output capacitor charged to
the proper voltage while minimizing the input quiescent
current. During Burst Mode operation, the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 deliver single cycle bursts of current to the
output capacitor followed by sleep periods where the output power is delivered to the load by the output capacitor.
Because the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 deliver power to output
with single, low current pulses, the output ripple is kept
below 15mV for a typical application. As the load current
decreases towards a no load condition, the percentage
of time that the high voltage regulator operates in sleep
mode increases and the average input current is greatly
reduced resulting in high efficiency even at very low loads.
See Figure 6.
At higher output loads (above 70mA for the front page
application) the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 will be running at
the frequency programmed by the RT resistor, and will be
operating in standard PWM mode. The transition between
PWM and low ripple Burst Mode operation is seamless,
and will not disturb the output voltage.

LTC4090/LTC4090-5
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If low quiescent current is not required, the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 can operate in pulse-skipping mode. The benefit
of this mode is that the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 will enter full
frequency standard PWM operation at a lower output load
current than when in Burst Mode operation. The front page
application circuit will switch at full frequency at output
loads higher than about 60mA.
Boost Pin Considerations
Capacitor C2 (see Block Diagram) and an internal diode
are used to generate a boost voltage that is higher than
the input voltage. In most cases, a 0.47µF capacitor will
work well. The BOOST pin must be at least 2.3V above
the SW pin for proper operation.
High Voltage Regulator Soft-Start
The HVEN pin can be used to soft-start the high voltage
regulator of the LTC4090/LTC4090-5, reducing maximum
input current during start-up. The HVEN pin is driven
through an external RC filter to create a voltage ramp at
this pin. Figure 7 shows the start-up and shutdown waveforms with the soft-start circuit. By choosing a large RC
time constant, the peak start-up current can be reduced
to the current that is required to regulate the output, with
no overshoot. Choose the value of the resistor so that it
can supply 20µA when the HVEN pin reaches 2.3V.
Synchronization and Mode
The SYNC pin allows the high voltage regulator to be
synchronized to an external clock.

Synchronizing the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 internal oscillator
to an external frequency can be done by connecting a
square wave (with 20% to 80% duty cycle) to the SYNC
pin. The square wave amplitude should be such that the
valleys are below 0.3V and the peaks are above 0.8V (up
to 6V). The high voltage regulator may be synchronized
over a 300kHz to 2MHz range. The RT resistor should be
chosen such that the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 oscillate 25%
lower than the external synchronization frequency to ensure
adequate slope compensation. While synchronized, the
high voltage regulator will turn on the power switch on
positive going edges of the clock. When the power good
(PG) output is low, such as during start-up, short-circuit,
and overload conditions, the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 will
disable the synchronization feature. The SYNC pin should
be grounded when synchronization is not required.
Alternate NTC Thermistors and Biasing
The LTC4090/LTC4090-5 provide temperature qualified
charging if a grounded thermistor and a bias resistor are
connected to NTC (see Figure 8). By using a bias resistor
whose value is equal to the room temperature resistance
of the thermistor (R25C) the upper and lower temperatures
are preprogrammed to approximately 50°C and 0°C, respectively (assuming a Vishay curve 2 thermistor).
The upper and lower temperature thresholds can be adjusted by either a modification of the bias resistor value
or by adding a second adjustment resistor to the circuit.
If only the bias resistor is adjusted, then either the upper
or the lower threshold can be modified but not both. The
other trip point will be determined by the characteristics
of the thermistor. Using the bias resistor in addition to an
adjustment resistor, both the upper and the lower temperature trip points can be independently programmed with
the constraint that the difference between the upper and
lower temperature thresholds cannot decrease. Examples
of each technique are given below.
NTC thermistors have temperature characteristics which
are indicated on resistance-temperature conversion tables.
The Vishay-Dale thermistor NTHS0603N02N1002J, used
in the following examples, has a nominal value of 10k and
follows the Vishay curve 2 resistance-temperature characteristic. The LTC4090/LTC4090-5’s trip points are designed

However, Vishay Dale has many thermistor products that
follow the R-T curve 2 characteristic in a variety of sizes.
Furthermore, any thermistor whose ratio of rCOLD to rHOT
is about 7.0 will also work (Vishay Dale R-T curve 2 shows
a ratio of 2.815/0.409 = 6.89).
In the explanation below, the following notation is used.
R25C = Value of the Thermistor at 25°C
Solving these equations for RNTC|COLD and RNTC|HOT results
in the following:
RNTC|COLD = Value of Thermistor at the Cold Trip Point
RNTC|HOT = Value of the Thermistor at the Hot Trip Point
Therefore, the hot trip point is set when:
RNTC|HOT
RNOM + RNTC|HOT
• VNTC = 0.29 • VNTC
and the cold trip point is set when:
RNTC|COLD
RNOM + RNTC|COLD
• VNTC = 0.74 • VNTC
RNTC|HOT = 0.409 • RNOM
and
rCOLD = Ratio of RNTC|COLD to R25C
RNTC|COLD = 2.815 • RNOM
rHOT= Ratio of RNTC|HOT to R25C
By setting RNOM equal to R25C, the above equations result
in rHOT = 0.409 and rCOLD = 2.815. Referencing these ratios
to the Vishay Resistance-Temperature curve 2 chart gives
a hot trip point of about 50°C and a cold trip point of about
0°C. The difference between the hot and cold trip points
is approximately 50°C.
RNOM = Primary Thermistor Bias Resistor (see Figure 8)
R1 = Optional Temperature Range Adjustment resistor
(see Figure 9)
The trip points for the LTC4090/LTC4090-5’s temperature
qualification are internally programmed at 0.29 • VNTC for
the hot threshold and 0.74 • VNTC for the cold threshold.

By using a bias resistor, RNOM, different in value from

direction. The temperature span will change somewhat due
to the nonlinear behavior of the thermistor. The following

the bias resistor:

= COLD • R 25C
2.815
RNOM =
RNOM
In general, if the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 is being powered
from IN the power dissipation can be calculated as follows:
where rHOT and rCOLD are the resistance ratios at the desired hot and cold trip points. Note that these equations
are linked. Therefore, only one of the two trip points can
be chosen, the other is determined by the default ratios
designed in the IC. Consider an example where a 40°C
hot trip point is desired.
From the Vishay curve 2 R-T characteristics, rHOT is 0.5758
at 40°C. Using the above equation, RNOM should be set to
14.0k. With this value of RNOM, the cold trip point is about
–7°C. Notice that the span is now 47°C rather than the
previous 50°C. This is due to the increase in temperature
gain of the thermistor as absolute temperature decreases.
The upper and lower temperature trip points can be independently programmed by using an additional bias resistor
as shown in Figure 9. The following formulas can be used
to compute the values of RNOM and R1:
r
–r
RNOM = COLD HOT • R 25C
2.815
R1= 0.409 • RNOM – rHOT • R 25C
For example, to set the trip points to –5°C and 55°C with
a Vishay curve 2 thermistor choose
RNOM =
3.532 – 0.3467
• 10k = 13.2k
2.815 – 0.409
the nearest 1% value is 13.3k.
R1 = 0.409 • 13.3k – 0.3467 • 10k = 1.97k
the nearest 1% value is 1.96k. The final solution is shown
in Figure 9 and results in an upper trip point of 55°C and
a lower trip point of –5°C.
Power Dissipation and High Temperature Considerations
The die temperature of the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 must be
lower than the maximum rating of 110°C. This is generally
24
not a concern unless the ambient temperature is above
85°C. The total power dissipated inside the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 depend on many factors, including input
voltage (IN or HVIN), battery voltage, programmed charge
current, programmed input current limit, and load current.
PD = (VIN – VBAT) • IBAT + (VIN – VOUT) • IOUT
where PD is the power dissipated, IBAT is the battery charge
current, and IOUT is the application load current. For a
typical application, an example of this calculation would be:
PD = (5V – 3.7V) • 0.4A + (5V – 4.75V) • 0.1A
= 545mW
This examples assumes VIN = 5V, VOUT = 4.75V, VBAT =
3.7V, IBAT = 400mA, and IOUT = 100mA resulting in slightly
more than 0.5W total dissipation.
If the LTC4090 is being powered from HVIN, the power
dissipation can be estimated by calculating the regulator
power loss from an efficiency measurement, and subtracting the catch diode loss.
PD = (1− h) • [ VHVOUT • (IBAT +IOUT )]
V
−VD • 1− HVOUT • (IBAT +IOUT ) + 0.3V •IBAT )
VHVIN
where h is the efficiency of the high voltage regulator and
VD is the forward voltage of the catch diode at I = IBAT
+ IOUT. The first term corresponds to the power lost in
converting VHVIN to VHVOUT, the second term subtracts
the catch diode loss, and the third term is the power dissipated in the battery charger. For a typical application,
an example of this calculation would be:
PD = (1− 0.87) • [ 4V • (1A + 0.6A)]
4V
−0.4V • 1−
• (1A + 0.6A ) + 0.3V • 1A = 0.7W
12V
This example assumes 87% efficiency, VHVIN = 12V, VBAT =
3.7V (VHVOUT is about 4V), IBAT = 1A, IOUT = 600mA resulting
in about 0.7W total dissipation. If the LTC4090-5 is being
powered from HVIN, the power dissipation can be estimated

PD = (1– h) • ( 5V • (IBAT +IOUT ) ) – VD • 1–
VHVIN
(IBAT +IOUT ) + ( 5V – VBAT ) •IBAT
The difference between this equation and that for the
LTC4090 is the last term, which represents the power
dissipation in the battery charger. For a typical application,
an example of this calculation would be:
5V
PD = (1– 0.87 ) • ( 5V • (1A + 0.6A ) ) – 0.4V • 1–
•
12V
(1A + 0.6A ) + ( 5V – 3.7V ) • 1A = 1.97W
Like the LTC4090 example, this examples assumes 87%
efficiency, VHVIN = 12V, VBAT = 3.7V, IBAT = 1A and IOUT
= 600mA resulting in about 2W total power dissipation.
It is important to solder the exposed backside of the package to a ground plane. This ground should be tied to other
copper layers below with thermal vias; these layers will
spread the heat dissipated by the LTC4090/LTC4090-5.
Additional vias should be placed near the catch diode.
Adding more copper to the top and bottom layers and
tying this copper to the internal planes with vias can

AND SEPERATED

reduce thermal resistance further. With these steps, the
thermal resistance from die (i.e., junction) to ambient can
be reduced to qJA = 40°C/W.
Board Layout Considerations
As discussed in the previous section, it is critical that
the exposed metal pad on the backside of the LTC4090/
LTC4090-5 package be soldered to the PC board ground.
Furthermore, proper operation and minimum EMI requires
a careful printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Note that large,
switched currents flow in the power switch (between the
HVIN and SW pins), the catch diode and the HVIN input
capacitor. These components, along with the inductor and
output capacitor, should be placed on the same side of
the circuit board, and their connections should be made
on that layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane below
these components. The loop formed by these components
should be as small as possible.
Additionally, the SW and BOOST nodes should be kept
as small as possible. Figure 10 shows the recommended
component placement with trace and via locations.
High frequency currents, such as the high voltage input
current of the LTC4090/LTC4090-5, tend to find their way
along the ground plane on a mirror path directly beneath
the incident path on the top of the board. If there are slits
or cuts in the ground plane due to other traces on that
layer, the current will be forced to go around the slits.
If high frequency currents are not allowed to flow back
through their natural least-area path, excessive voltage will
build up and radiated emissions will occur. See Figure 11.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
IN and HVIN Bypass Capacitor
Battery Charger Stability Considerations
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing;
however, caution must be exercised when using multilayer
ceramic capacitors. Because of the self-resonant and high
Q characteristics of some types of ceramic capacitors,
high voltage transients can be generated under some
start-up conditions, such as from connecting the charger
input to a hot power source. For more information, refer
to Application Note 88.
The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without
any compensation when a battery is connected with low
impedance leads. Excessive lead length, however, may add
enough series inductance to require a bypass capacitor
of at least 1µF from BAT to GND. Furthermore, a 4.7µF
capacitor with a 0.2W to 1W series resistor to GND is
recommended at the BAT pin to keep ripple voltage low
when the battery is disconnected.
