廬
1730 is a complete pulse charger for 1-cell
lithium-ion batteries. When charging a depleted cell, the
internal MOSFET is fully on allowing the current limited
input power source to provide charge current to the
battery, virtually eliminating heat generation in the charger.
As the battery accepts charge and approaches the pro-
grammed voltage, the internal MOSFET begins switching
off and on with the duty cycle gradually decreasing as the
battery approaches a fully charged condition. A program-
mable timer ends the charge cycle. The end-of-charge
condition is indicated at the CHRG pin when the average
charge current falls to
C/10.
Removing the input voltage
puts the LTC1730 into a sleep mode, dropping the battery
current drain to less than 1碌A(chǔ) (maximum).
An external sense resistor limits the maximum charge
current as a safety precaution against a user connecting a
wall adapter with the incorrect or no current limit. The
internal MOSFET prevents reverse battery current from
flowing if the input voltage is shorted to ground, eliminat-
ing the need for a blocking diode.
The LTC1730-4 is available in the 16-pin SSOP package
and the LTC1730-4.2 is available in the 8-pin SO package.
