DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
4007
is a complete constant-current/constant-volt-
age charger controller for 3- or 4-cell lithium-ion batteries.
The PWM controller uses a synchronous, quasi-constant
frequency, constant off-time architecture that will not gen-
erate audible noise even when using ceramic capacitors.
Charging current is programmable to ±4% accuracy using
a programming resistor. Charging current can also be mon-
itored as a voltage across the programming resistor.
The output float voltage is pin programmed for cell count
(3 cells or 4 cells) and chemistry (4.2V/4.1V). A timer,
programmed by an external resistor, sets the charge ter-
mination time. Charging is automatically restarted when
cell voltage falls below 3.9V/cell.
LTC4007 includes a thermistor input, which suspends
charging if an unsafe temperature condition is detected.
If the cell voltage is less than 2.5V, a low-battery indicator
asserts and can be used to program a trickle charge current
to safely charge depleted batteries. The
FAULT
pin is also
asserted and charging terminates if the low-battery con-
dition persists for more than 1/4 of the total charge time.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
See "Test Circuit".
Note 3:
Does not include tolerance of current sense resistor or current
programming resistor.
Note 4:
The LTC4007E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
