GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2291 is a constant-current/constant-voltage linear
charger for a single-cell, lithium ion battery, requiring just a few
components to provide a simple and safe charging system that
operates from a wide 4.5 V to 12 V input voltage range. It
features an internally controlled, multistep charging cycle that
improves battery life.
An external, low cost PNP provides the charging current to the
battery, and an external resistor sets the maximum charge
current. A small, external capacitor programs the maximum
charge time. The controller includes an LED driver to indicate
the battery charging status.
Safety features include charging stop mode for battery faults,
output overshoot protection, and thermal shutdown. The
ADP2291 also features automatic reverse isolation, which does
not require an additional blocking diode.
The multistep charge cycle optimizes the battery charging time
in a safe manner. It features a trickle charge mode for a deeply
discharged cell and a fast charging mode with a maximum
current of 1.5 A. The ADP2291 controls the end of charge with
a 4.2 V output voltage that is 1% accurate over line and tem-
perature. It automatically recharges the battery if the cell voltage
drops. When the input supply is removed, the part enters a low
current state and reduces the current drawn from the battery to
below 1 µA.
The ADP2291 is available in both a small, 8-lead MSOP
package and a 3 × 3 mm LFCSP package that is ideally suited
for small, portable applications.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
any other condition s above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. Unless otherwise specified all other voltages
referenced to GND.
Pulling current from the DRV pin by driving it below ground while VIN is
applied can cause permanent damage to the device.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
