Its DFN package and low external component count make the LTC4068 ideally suited for portable applications. Furthermore, the LTC4068 is designed to work within USB power specifications. No external sense resistor or external blocking diode are 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 conditions. The charge voltage is fixed at 4.2V and the charge current is programmed with a resistor. The LTC4068 terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops below the programmed termination threshold after the final float voltage is reached. When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is removed, the LTC4068 enters a low current state dropping the battery drain current to less than 2µA. Other features include charge current monitor, undervoltage lockout, automatic recharge and status pins to indicate charge termination and the presence of adequate input voltage. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Charge current is programmed by connecting a 1% resistor, RPROG, to ground. When charging in constant-current mode, this pin servos to 1V. In all modes, the voltage on this pin can be used to measure the charge current using the following formula: IBAT = (VPROG/RPROG) • 1000 This pin is clamped to approximately 2.4V. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp voltage can draw large currents and should be avoided. VCC (Pin 6): Positive Input Supply Voltage. Provides power to the charger. VCC can range from 4.25V to 6.5V. This pin should be bypassed with at least a 1µF capacitor. When VCC is within 100mV of the BAT pin voltage, the LTC4068 enters shutdown mode dropping the battery drain current to less than 2µA. ACPR (Pin 7): Power Supply Status Open-Drain Output. When VCC is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold and at least 100mV above VBAT, the ACPR pin is pulled to ground; otherwise, the pin is high impedance. EN (Pin 8): Enable Input . A logic high on the EN pin will put the LTC4068 into shutdown mode where the battery drain current is reduced to less than 2µA and the supply current is reduced to less than 50µA.

It can deliver up to 950mA of charge current (using a good thermal PCB layout) with a final float voltage accuracy of ±1%. The LTC4068 includes an internal P-channel power MOSFET and thermal regulation circuitry. No blocking diode or external current sense resistor is required; thus, the basic charger circuit requires only two external components. Furthermore, the LTC4068 is capable of operating from a USB power source. Normal Charge Cycle A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin rises above the UVLO threshold level and a 1% program resistor is connected from the PROG pin to ground. If the BAT pin is less than 2.9V, the charger enters trickle charge mode. In this mode, the LTC4068 supplies approximately 1/10th the programmed charge current to bring the battery voltage up to a safe level for full current charging. (Note: The LTC4068X does not include this trickle charge feature.) When the BAT pin voltage rises above 2.9V, the charger enters constant-current mode where the programmed charge current is supplied to the battery. When the BAT pin approaches the final float voltage (4.2V), the LTC4068 enters constant-voltage mode and the charge current begins to decrease. When the charge current drops to the programmed termination threshold (set by the external resistor RTERM), the charge cycle ends. Programming Charge Current The charge current is programmed using a single resistor from the PROG pin to ground. The charge current out of the BAT pin is 1000 times the current out of the PROG pin. The program resistor and the charge current are calculated using the following equations: RPROG = 1000 V 1000 V , I CHG = ICHG RPROG Charge current out of the BAT pin can be determined at any time by monitoring the PROG pin voltage and using the following equation: IBAT = VPROG • 1000 RPROG U Programming Charge Termination The charge cycle terminates when the charge current falls below the programmed termination threshold. This threshold is set by connecting an external resistor, RTERM, from the ITERM pin to ground. The charge termination current threshold (ITERM) is set by the following equation: ITERM = 100V ICHG RPROG 100V = • , RTERM = RTERM 10 RTERM ITERM The termination condition is detected by using an internal filtered comparator to monitor the ITERM pin. When the ITERM pin voltage drops below 100mV* for longer than tTERM (typically 1ms), charging is terminated. The charge current is latched off and the LTC4068 enters standby mode where the input supply current drops to 200µA. (Note: Termination is disabled in trickle charging and thermal limiting modes.) ITERM can be set to be 1/10th of ICHG by shorting the ITERM pin to the PROG pin, thus eliminating the need for external resistor RTERM. When configured in this way, ITERM is always set to ICHG/10, and the programmed charge current is set by the equation: 500V 500V ICHG = ,RPROG = RPROG ICHG ** When charging, transient loads on the BAT pin can cause the ITERM pin to fall below 100mV for short periods of time before the DC charge current has dropped to 10% of the programmed value. The 1ms filter time (tTERM) on the termination comparator ensures that transient loads of this nature do not result in premature charge cycle termination. Once the average charge current drops below the programmed termination threshold, the LTC4068 terminates the charge cycle and ceases to provide any current out of the BAT pin. In this state, any load on the BAT pin must be supplied by the battery. The LTC4068 constantly monitors the BAT pin voltage in standby mode. If this voltage drops below the 4.1V recharge * Any external sources that hold the ITERM pin above 100mV will prevent the LTC4068 from terminating a charge cycle. ** These equations apply only when the ITERM pin is shorted to the PROG pin. 406842fa 7 LTC4068-4.2/LTC4068X-4.2 OPERATIO threshold (VRECHRG), another charge cycle begins and charge current is once again supplied to the battery. To manually restart a charge cycle when in standby mode, the input voltage must be removed and reapplied or the charger must be shut down and restarted using the EN pin. Figure 1 shows the state diagram of a typical charge cycle. POWER ON BAT < 2.9V TRICKLE CHARGE MODE 1/10TH FULL CURRENT CHRG: STRONG PULL-DOWN BAT > 2.9V SHUTDOWN MODE ICC DROPS TO 2.9V LTC4068 ONLY 2.9V < BAT < 4.1V 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 200mV. 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 BAT voltage. If the UVLO comparator is tripped, the charger will not come out of shutdown mode until VCC rises 100mV above the BAT voltage. Manual Shutdown At any point in the charge cycle, the LTC4068 can be put into shutdown mode by driving the EN pin high. This reduces the battery drain current to less than 2µA and the supply current to less than 50µA. When in shutdown mode, the CHRG pin is in the high impedance state. A new charge cycle can be initiated by driving the EN pin low. An internal resistor pull-down on this pin forces the LTC4068 to be enabled if the pin is allowed to float. Automatic Recharge Once the charge cycle is terminated, the LTC4068 continuously monitors the voltage on the BAT pin using a comparator with a 2ms filter time (tRECHARGE). A charge cycle restarts when the battery voltage falls below 4.10V (which corresponds to approximately 80% to 90% battery capacity). This ensures that the battery is kept at, or near, a fully 406842fa LTC4068-4.2/LTC4068X-4.2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO charged condition and eliminates the need for periodic charge cycle initiations. The CHRG output enters a pulldown state during recharge cycles. If the battery is removed from the charger, a sawtooth waveform of approximately 100mV appears at the charger output. This is caused by the repeated cycling between termination and recharge events. This cycling results in pulsing at the CHRG output; an LED connected to this pin will exhibit a blinking pattern, indicating to the user that a battery is not present. The frequency of the sawtooth is dependent on the amount of output capacitance. Stability Considerations The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without an output capacitor, provided a battery is connected to the charger output. With no battery present, an output capacitor on the BAT pin is recommended to reduce ripple voltage. When using high value, low ESR ceramic capacitors, it is recommended to add a 1Ω resistor in series with the capacitor. No series resistor is needed if tantalum capacitors are used. In constant-current mode, the PROG pin is in the feedback loop, not the battery. The constant-current mode stability is affected by the impedance at the PROG pin. With no additional capacitance on the PROG pin, the charger is stable with program resistor values as high as 20k; however, additional capacitance on this node reduces the maximum allowed program resistor. The pole frequency at the PROG pin should be kept above 100kHz. Therefore, if the PROG pin is loaded with a capacitance, CPROG, the following equation can be used to calculate the maximum resistance value for RPROG: RPROG ≤ 1 2π • 105 • CPROG Average, rather than instantaneous charge current may be of interest to the user. For example, if a switching power supply operating in low current mode is connected in parallel with the battery, the average current being pulled out of the BAT pin is typically of more interest than the instantaneous current pulses. In such a case, a simple RC U filter can be used on the PROG pin to measure the average battery current, as shown in Figure 2. A 10k resistor has been added between the PROG pin and the filter capacitor to ensure stability. LTC4068-4.2 PROG GND RPROG CFILTER 406842 F02 W UU 10k CHARGE CURRENT MONITOR CIRCUITRY Figure 2. Isolating Capacitive Load on PROG Pin and Filtering Power Dissipation It is not necessary to design for worst-case power dissipation scenarios because the LTC4068 automatically reduces the charge current during high power conditions. The conditions that cause the LTC4068 to reduce charge current through thermal feedback can be approximated by considering the power dissipated in the IC. Nearly all of this power dissipation is generated by the internal MOSFET—this is calculated to be approximately: PD = (VCC – VBAT) • IBAT where PD is the power dissipated, VCC is the input supply voltage, VBAT is the battery voltage and IBAT is the charge current. The approximate ambient temperature at which the thermal feedback begins to protect the IC is: TA = 120°C – PDθJA TA = 120°C – (VCC – VBAT) • IBAT • θJA Example: An LTC4068 operating from a 5V supply is programmed to supply 800mA full-scale current to a discharged Li-Ion battery with a voltage of 3.3V. Assuming θJA is 50°C/W (see Thermal Considerations), the ambient temperature at which the LTC4068 will begin to reduce the charge current is approximately: TA = 120°C – (5V – 3.3V) • (800mA) • 50°C/W TA = 120°C – 1.36W • 50°C/W = 120°C – 68°C TA = 52°C 406842fa 9 LTC4068-4.2/LTC4068X-4.2 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The LTC4068 can be used above 52°C ambient but the charge current will be reduced from the programmed 800mA. The approximate current at a given ambient temperature can be approximated by: IBAT = 120°C – TA (VCC – VBAT ) • θJA Using the previous example with an ambient temperature of 60 ° C, the charge current will be reduced to approximately: IBAT = 120°C – 60°C (5V – 3.3V) • 50°C/W = 60°C 85°C/A IBAT = 706mA Moreover, when thermal feedback reduces the charge current the voltage at the PROG pin is also reduced proportionally as discussed in the Operation section. It is important to remember that LTC4068 applications do not need to be designed for worst-case thermal conditions since the IC will automatically reduce power dissipation when the junction temperature reaches approximately 120°C. Thermal Considerations In order to deliver maximum charge current under all conditions, it is critical that the exposed metal pad on the backside of the LTC4068 package is soldered to the PC board ground. Correctly soldered to a 2500mm2 doublesided 1oz copper board, the LTC4068 has a thermal resistance of approximately 40°C/W. Failure to make thermal contact between the exposed pad on the backside of the package and the copper board will result in thermal resistances far greater than 40°C/W. As an example, a correctly soldered LTC4068 can deliver over 800mA to a battery from a 5V supply at room temperature. Without a good backside thermal connection, this number will drop considerably. VCC Bypass Capacitor Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing; however, caution must be exercised when using multilayer 10 U 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 connecting the charger input to a live power source. Adding a 1.5Ω resistor in series with an X5R ceramic capacitor will minimize start-up voltage transients. For more information, see Application Note 88. Charge Current Soft-Start The LTC4068 includes a soft-start circuit to minimize the inrush current at the start of a charge cycle. When a charge cycle is initiated, the charge current ramps from zero to full-scale current over a period of approximately 100µs. This has the effect of minimizing the transient current load on the power supply during start-up. USB and Wall Adapter Power The LTC4068 allows charging from both a wall adapter and a USB port. Figure 3 shows how to combine wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel MOSFET, MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into the USB port when a wall adapter is present and a Schottky diode, D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through the 1k pulldown resistor. Typically a wall adapter can supply more current than the 500mA-limited USB port. Therefore, an N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra 3.3k program resistor are used to increase the charge current to 800mA when the wall adapter is present. The charge termination threshold remains fixed at 80mA. 5V WALL ADAPTER 800mA ICHG USB POWER 500mA ICHG D1 MP1 LTC4068-4.2 2 BAT 1 6 VCC ITERM 5 4, 9 GND PROG 3.3k 1k MN1 2k ICHG SYSTEM LOAD 1.25k W UU + Li-Ion BATTERY 406842 F03 Figure 3.

If the supply voltage is high enough, a series blocking diode can be used. In other cases, where the voltage drop must be kept low, a P-channel MOSFET can be used (as shown in Figure 4).
