The LTC
廬
4006 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage charger controller for 2-, 3- or 4-cell lithium bat-
teries in a small package using few external components.
The PWM controller is a synchronous, quasi-constant fre-
quency, constant off-time architecture that will not gener-
ate audible noise even when using ceramic capacitors.
The LTC4006 is available in 8.4V, 12.6V and 16.8V versions
with
鹵0.8%
accuracy. Charging current is programmable
with a single sense resistor to
鹵4%
typical accuracy. Charg-
ing current can be monitored as a representative voltage at
the I
MON
pin. A timer, programmed by an external resistor,
sets the total charge time or is reset to 25% of total charge
time after C/10 charging current is reached. Charging au-
tomatically resumes when cell voltage falls below 3.9V/cell.
Fully discharged cells are automatically trickle charged at
10% of the programmed current until the cell voltage ex-
ceeds 2.5V/cell. Charging terminates if the low-battery
condition persists for more than 25% of the total charge
time.
LTC4006 includes a thermistor sensor input that sus-
pends charging if an unsafe temperature condition is
detected and automatically resumes charging when bat-
tery temperature returns to within safe limits.
