The LTC
廬
1980 integrates PWM power control for charg-
ing a battery and converting the battery voltage to a
regulated output or simultaneously charging the battery
while powering system load from an unregulated AC wall
adapter. Combining these features into a single IC pro-
duces a smaller area and lower cost solution compared to
presently available multi-IC solutions. The LTC1980 shares
the discrete components for both the battery charger and
the DC/DC converter thus minimizing size and cost relative
to dual controller solutions. Both the battery charger and
DC/DC converter use a current mode flyback topology for
high efficiency and excellent transient response. Optional
Burst Mode operation and power-down mode allow power
density, efficiency and output ripple to be tailored to the
application.
The LTC1980 provides a complete Li-Ion battery charger
with charge termination timer, preset Li-Ion battery volt-
ages, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and user-
programmable constant-current charging. Automatic bat-
tery recharging, shorted-cell detection, and open-drain
C/10
and wall plug detect outputs are also provided. User
programming allows NiMH and NiCd battery chemistries
to be charged as well.
