LTC4075/LTC4075X

4075Xfa
The LTC®4075/LTC4075X are standalone linear chargers
that are capable of charging a single-cell Li-Ion battery
from both wall adapter and USB inputs. The chargers can
detect power at the inputs and automatically select the
appropriate power source for charging.
No external sense resistor or blocking diode is required
for charging due to the internal MOSFET architecture.
Internal thermal feedback regulates the battery charge
current to maintain a constant die temperature during high
power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
The fl oat voltage is fi xed at 4.2V and the charge current
is programmed with an external resistor. The LTC4075
terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops
below the programmed termination threshold after the
nal fl oat voltage is reached. With power applied to both
inputs, the LTC4075/LTC4075X can be put into shutdown
mode reducing the DCIN supply current to 20µA, the USBIN
supply current to 10µA, and the battery drain current to
less than 2µA.
Other features include automatic recharge, undervoltage
lockout, charge status outputs, and “power present”
status outputs to indicate the presence of wall adapter
or USB power.

USBIN (Pin 1): USB Input Supply Pin. Provides power to
the battery charger. The maximum supply current is 650mA.
This pin should be bypassed with a 1µF capacitor.
IUSB (Pin 2): Charge Current Program for USB Power.
The charge current is set by connecting a resistor, RIUSB,
to ground. When charging in constant-current mode, this
pin servos to 1V. The voltage on this pin can be used to
measure the battery current delivered from the USB input
using the following formula:
IV
R
BAT IUSB
IUSB
=1000
ITERM (Pin 3): Termination Current Threshold Program.
The termination current threshold, ITERMINATE, is set by
connecting a resistor, RITERM, to ground. ITERMINATE is set
by the following formula:
IV
R
TERMINATE ITERM
=100
When the battery current, IBAT, falls below the termination
threshold, charging stops and the
C
H
R
G output becomes
high impedance.
This pin is internally clamped to approximately 1.5V. Driving
this pin to voltages beyond the clamp voltage can draw
large currents and should be avoided.
P
W
R (Pin 4): Open-Drain Power Supply Status Output.
When the DCIN or USBIN pin voltage is suffi cient to begin
charging (i.e. when the supply is greater than the under-
voltage lockout threshold and at least 180mV above the
battery terminal), the
P
W
R pin is pulled low by an internal
N-channel MOSFET. Otherwise
P
W
R is high impedance.
This output is capable of sinking up to 10mA, making it
suitable for driving an LED.
C
H
R
G (Pin 5): Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When
the LTC4075 is charging, the
C
H
R
G pin is pulled low by
an internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge cycle is
completed,
C
H
R
G becomes high impedance. This output
is capable of sinking up to 10mA, making it suitable for
driving an LED.
ENABLE (Pin 6): Enable Input. When the LTC4075 is
charging from the DCIN source, a logic low on this pin
enables the charger. When the LTC4075 is charging from
the USBIN source, a logic high on this pin enables the
charger. If this input is left fl oating, an internal 2MΩ
pulldown resistor defaults the LTC4075 to charge when
a wall adapter is applied and to shut down if only the USB
source is applied.
USBPWR (Pin 7): Open-Drain USB Power Status Output.
When the voltage on the USBIN pin is suffi cient to begin
charging and there is insuffi cient power at DCIN, the USB-
PWR pin is high impedance. In all other cases, this pin is
pulled low by an internal N-channel MOSFET, provided that
there is power present at the DCIN, USBIN, or BAT inputs.
This output is capable of sinking up to 1mA, making it
suitable for driving high impedance logic inputs.
IDC (Pin 8): Charge Current Program for Wall Adapter
Power. The charge current is set by connecting a resis-
tor, RIDC, to ground. When charging in constant-current
mode, this pin servos to 1V. The voltage on this pin can
be used to measure the battery current delivered from the
DC input using the following formula:
IV
R
BAT IDC
IDC
=1000
BAT (Pin 9): Charger Output and Regulator Input. This pin
provides charge current to the battery and regulates the
nal fl oat voltage to 4.2V.
DCIN (Pin 10): Wall Adapter Input Supply Pin. Provides
power to the battery charger. The maximum supply
current is 950mA. This should be bypassed with a 1μF
capacitor.
Exposed Pad (Pin 11): GND. The exposed backside of the
package is ground and must be soldered to PC board ground
for electrical connection and maximum heat transfer.

The LTC4075 is designed to effi ciently manage charging of
a single-cell lithium-ion battery from two separate power
sources: a wall adapter and USB power bus. Using the
constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm, the charger
can deliver up to 950mA of charge current from the wall
adapter supply or up to 650mA of charge current from the
USB supply with a fi nal fl oat voltage accuracy of ±0.6%.
The LTC4075 has two internal P-channel power MOSFETs
and thermal regulation circuitry. No blocking diodes or
external sense resistors are required.
Power Source Selection
The LTC4075 can charge a battery from either the wall
adapter input or the USB port input. The LTC4075 automati-
cally senses the presence of voltage at each input. If both
power sources are present, the LTC4075 defaults to the
wall adapter source provided suffi cient power is present
at the DCIN input. “Suffi cient power” is defi ned as:
Supply voltage is greater than the UVLO threshold.
Supply voltage is greater than the battery voltage by
50mV (180mV rising, 50mV falling).
The open drain power status outputs (
P
W
R and USBPWR)
indicate which power source has been selected. Table 1
describes the behavior of these status outputs.

Programming and Monitoring Charge Current
The charge current delivered to the battery from the wall
adapter supply is programmed using a single resistor
from the IDC pin to ground. Likewise, the charge current
from the USB supply is programmed using a single resis-
tor from the IUSB pin to ground. The program resistor
and the charge current (ICHRG) are calculated using the
following equations:

Programming Charge Termination
The charge cycle terminates when the charge current falls
below the programmed termination threshold during con-
stant-voltage mode. This threshold is set by connecting an
external resistor, RITERM, from the ITERM pin to ground.
The charge termination current threshold (ITERMINATE) is
set by the following equation:

*Any external sources that hold the ITERM pin above 100mV will prevent the LTC4075 from
terminating a charge cycle.
The termination condition is detected by using an internal
ltered comparator to monitor the ITERM pin. When the
ITERM pin voltage drops below 100mV
*
for longer than
tTERMINATE (typically 1.5ms), charging is terminated. The
charge current is latched off and the LTC4075 enters
standby mode.
When charging, transient loads on the BAT pin can cause
the ITERM pin to fall below 100mV for short periods of
time before the DC charge current has dropped below the
programmed termination current. The 1.5ms fi lter time
(tTERMINATE) on the termination comparator ensures that
transient loads of this nature do not result in premature
charge cycle termination. Once the average charge current
drops below the programmed termination threshold, the
LTC4075 terminates the charge cycle and ceases to provide
any current out of the BAT pin. In this state, any load on
the BAT pin must be supplied by the battery.
Low Battery Charge Conditioning (Trickle Charge)
This feature ensures that near-dead batteries are gradually
charged before reapplying full charge current . If the BAT
pin voltage is below 2.9V, the LTC4075 supplies 1/10th
of the full charge current to the battery until the BAT pin
rises back above 2.9V. For example, if the charger is
programmed to charge at 800mA from the wall adapter
input and 500mA from the USB input, the charge current
during trickle charge mode would be 80mA and 50mA,
respectively.
The LTC4075X does not include the trickle charge feature;
it outputs full charge current to the battery when the
BAT pin voltage is below 2.9V. The LTC4075X is useful
in applications where the trickle charge current may be
insuffi cient to supply the load during low battery voltage
conditions.
Automatic Recharge
In standby mode, the charger sits idle and monitors the
battery voltage using a comparator with a 6ms fi lter time
(tRECHRG). A charge cycle automatically restarts when the
battery voltage falls below 4.1V (which corresponds to
approximately 80%-90% battery capacity). This ensures
that the battery is kept at, or near, a fully charged condi-
tion and eliminates the need for periodic charge cycle
initiations.
If the battery is removed from the charger, a sawtooth
waveform of approximately 100mV appears at the battery
output. This is caused by the repeated cycling between
termination and recharge events. This cycling results in
pulsing at the
C
H
R
G output; an LED connected to this pin
will exhibit a blinking pattern, indicating to the user that
a battery is not present. The frequency of the sawtooth is
dependent on the amount of output capacitance.
Manual Shutdown
The ENABLE pin has a 2MΩ pulldown resistor to GND. The
defi nition of this pin depends on which source is supplying
power. When the wall adapter input is supplying power,
logic low enables the charger and logic high disables it (the
pulldown defaults the charger to the charging state). The
opposite is true when the USB input is supplying power;
logic low disables the charger and logic high enables it
(the default is the shutdown state).
The DCIN input draws 20µA when the charger is in shut-
down. The USBIN input draws 18µA during shutdown if
no power is applied to DCIN, but draws only 10µA when
VDCIN > VUSBIN.
Charge Current Soft-Start and Soft-Stop
The LTC4075 includes a soft-start circuit to minimize
the inrush current at the start of a charge cycle. When a
charge cycle is initiated, the charge current ramps from
zero to full-scale current over a period of 250µs. Likewise,
internal circuitry slowly ramps the charge current from
full-scale to zero in a period of approximately 30µs when
the charger shuts down or self terminates. This minimizes
the transient current load on the power supply during
start-up and shut-off.
Status Indicators
The charge status output (
C
H
R
G) has two states: pull-down
and high impedance. The pull-down state indicates that
the LTC4075 is in a charge cycle. Once the charge cycle
has terminated or the LTC4075 is disabled, the pin state
becomes high impedance. The pull-down state is capable
of sinking up to 10mA.

The power supply status output (
P
W
R) has two states: pull-
down and high impedance. The pull-down state indicates
that power is present at either DCIN or USBIN. This output
is strong enough to drive an LED. If no power is applied at
either pin, the
P
W
R pin is high impedance, indicating that
the LTC4075 lacks suffi cient power to charge the battery.
The pull-down state is capable of sinking up to 10mA.
The USB power status output (USBPWR) has two states:
pull-down and high impedance. The high impedance
state indicates that the LTC4075 is being powered from
the USBIN input. The pull-down state indicates that the
charger is either powered from DCIN or is in a UVLO
condition (see Table 1). The pull-down state is capable of
sinking up to 1mA.
Thermal Limiting
An internal thermal feedback loop reduces the programmed
charge current if the die temperature attempts to rise above
a preset value of approximately 105°C. This feature protects
the LTC4075 from excessive temperature and allows the
user to push the limits of the power handling capability of
a given circuit board without risk of damaging the device.
The charge current can be set according to typical (not
worst-case) ambient temperature with the assurance that
the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-
case conditions. DFN power considerations are discussed
further in the Applications Information section.

Using a Single Charge Current Program Resistor
The LTC4075 can program the wall adapter charge current
and USB charge current independently using two program
resistors, RIDC and RIUSB. Figure 2 shows a charger circuit
that sets the wall adapter charge current to 800mA and
the USB charge current to 500mA.
In applications where the programmed wall adapter
charge current and USB charge current are the same, a
single program resistor can be used to set both charge
currents. Figure 3 shows a charger circuit that uses one
charge current program resistor.
In this circuit, the programmed charge current from both the
wall adapter supply is the same value as the programmed
charge current from the USB supply:

Stability Considerations
The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without
any compensation provided a battery is connected to the
charger output. However, a 1µF capacitor with a 1Ω series
resistor is recommended at the BAT pin to keep the ripple
voltage low when the battery is disconnected.
When the charger is in constant-current mode, the charge
current program pin (IDC or IUSB) is in the feedback loop,
not the battery. The constant-current mode stability is
affected by the impedance at the charge current program
pin. With no additional capacitance on this pin, the char-
ger is stable with program resistor values as high as 20k
(ICHRG = 50mA); however, additional capacitance on these
nodes reduces the maximum allowed program resistor.
Power Dissipation
When designing the battery charger circuit, it is not neces-
sary to design for worst-case power dissipation scenarios
because the LTC4075 automatically reduces the charge
current during high power conditions. The conditions
that cause the LTC4075 to reduce charge current through
thermal feedback can be approximated by considering the
power dissipated in the IC. Most of the power dissipation
is generated from the internal charger MOSFET. Thus, the
power dissipation is calculated to be:
P
D = (VIN – VBAT) • IBAT
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
LTC4075/LTC4075X
13
4075Xfa
PD is the power dissipated, VIN is the input supply volt-
age (either DCIN or USBIN), VBAT is the battery voltage
and IBAT is the charge current. The approximate ambient
temperature at which the thermal feedback begins to
protect the IC is:
T
A = 105°C – PDθJA
T
A = 105°C – (VIN – VBAT) • IBATθJA
Example: An LTC4075 operating from a 5V wall adapter (on
the DCIN input) is programmed to supply 800mA full-scale
current to a discharged Li-Ion battery with a voltage of 3.3V.
Assuming θJA is 40°C/W (see Thermal Considerations),
the ambient temperature at which the LTC4075 will begin
to reduce the charge current is approximately:
T
A = 105°C – (5V – 3.3V) • (800mA) • 40°C/W
T
A = 105°C – 1.36W • 40°C/W = 105°C – 54.4°C
TA = 50.6°C
The LTC4075 can be used above 50.6°C ambient, but
the charge current will be reduced from 800mA. The ap-
proximate current at a given ambient temperature can be
approximated by:

It is important to remember that LTC4075 applications do
not need to be designed for worst-case thermal conditions,
since the IC will automatically reduce power dissipation
when the junction temperature reaches approximately
105°C.
Thermal Considerations
In order to deliver maximum charge current under all
conditions, it is critical that the exposed metal pad on the
backside of the LTC4075 package is properly soldered
to the PC board ground. When correctly soldered to a
2500mm2 double sided 1oz copper board, the LTC4075
has a thermal resistance of approximately 40°C/W. Failure
to make thermal contact between the exposed pad on the
backside of the package and the copper board will result in
thermal resistances far greater than 40°C/W. As an example,
a correctly soldered LTC4075 can deliver over 800mA to
a battery from a 5V supply at room temperature. Without
a good backside thermal connection, this number would
drop to much less than 500mA.
Protecting the USB Pin and Wall Adapter Input from
Overvoltage Transients
Caution must be exercised when using ceramic capacitors
to bypass the USBIN pin or the wall adapter inputs. High
voltage transients can be generated when the USB or wall
adapter is hot plugged. When power is supplied via the
USB bus or wall adapter, the cable inductance along with
the self resonant and high Q characteristics of ceramic
capacitors can cause substantial ringing which could
exceed the maximum voltage pin ratings and damage the
LTC4075. Refer to Linear Technology Application Note 88,
entitled “Ceramic Input Capacitors Can Cause Overvoltage
Transients” for a detailed discussion of this problem. The
long cable lengths of most wall adapters and USB cables

makes them especially susceptible to this problem. To
bypass the USB pin and the wall adapter input, add a 1Ω
resistor in series with a ceramic capacitor to lower the
effective Q of the network and greatly reduce the ringing.
A tantalum, OS-CON, or electrolytic capacitor can be used
in place of the ceramic and resistor, as their higher ESR
reduces the Q, thus reducing the voltage ringing.
The oscilloscope photograph in Figure 4 shows how
serious the overvoltage transient can be for the USB
and wall adapter inputs. For both traces, a 5V supply is
hot-plugged using a three foot long cable. For the top
trace, only a 4.7µF capacitor (without the recommended
1Ω series resistor) is used to locally bypass the input.
This trace shows excessive ringing when the 5V cable
is inserted, with the overvoltage spike reaching 10V. For
the bottom trace, a 1Ω resistor is added in series with the
4.7µF capacitor to locally bypass the 5V input. This trace
shows the clean response resulting from the addition of
the 1Ω resistor.
Even with the additional 1Ω resistor, bad design techniques
and poor board layout can often make the overvoltage
problem even worse. System designers often add extra
inductance in series with input lines in an attempt to mini-
mize the noise fed back to those inputs by the application.
In reality, adding these extra inductances only makes the
overvoltage transients worse. Since cable inductance is
one of the fundamental causes of the excessive ringing,
adding a series ferrite bead or inductor increases the ef-
fective cable inductance, making the problem even worse.
For this reason, do not add additional inductance (ferrite
beads or inductors) in series with the USB or wall adapter
inputs. For the most robust solution, 6V transorbs or zener
diodes may also be added to further protect the USB and
wall adapter inputs. Two possible protection devices are
the SM2T from STMicroelectronics and the EDZ series
devices from ROHM.
Always use an oscilloscope to check the voltage wave-
forms at the USBIN and DCIN pins during USB and wall
adapter hot-plug events to ensure that overvoltage
transients have been adequately removed.
Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection
In some applications, protection from reverse polarity
voltage on the input supply pins is desired. If the sup-
ply voltage is high enough, a series blocking diode can
be used. In other cases where the voltage drop must be
kept low, a P-channel MOSFET can be used (as shown in
Figure 5).
