LTC4000-1
High Voltage High Current
Controller for Battery Charging with
Maximum Power Point Control
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4000-1
is a high voltage, high performance
controller that converts many externally compensated
DC/DC power supplies into full-featured battery chargers
with maximum power point control. In contrast to the
LTC4000, the LTC4000-1 has an input voltage regulation
loop instead of the input current regulation loop.
Features of the LTC4000-1’s battery charger include:
accurate (±0.25%) programmable float voltage, select-
able timer or current termination, temperature qualified
charging using an NTC thermistor, automatic recharge,
C/10 trickle charge for deeply discharged cells, bad battery
detection and status indicator outputs. The battery charger
also includes precision current sensing that allows lower
sense voltages for high current applications.
The LTC4000-1 supports intelligent PowerPath control. An
external PFET provides low loss reverse current protec-
tion. Another external PFET provides low loss charging
or discharging of the battery. This second PFET also
facilitates an instant-on feature that provides immediate
downstream system power even when connected to a
heavily discharged or shorted battery.
The LTC4000-1 is available in a low profile 28-lead
4mm
×
5mm QFN and SSOP packages.

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:
The LTC4000-1 is tested under conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
.
The LTC4000E-1 is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C
junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC4000I-1 is
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance
and other environmental factors. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is
calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation
(P
D
, in Watts) according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
), where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 3:
All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise noted.
Note 4:
These parameters are guaranteed by design and are not 100%
tested.
