DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4007-1
is a constant-current/constant-voltage
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
generate audible noise even when using ceramic capaci-
tors. Charging current is programmable to ±4% accuracy
using a programming resistor. Charging current can also be
monitored 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, pro-
grammed by an external resistor, sets the total charge time.
The LTC4007-1 includes a thermistor input, which
suspends charging if an unsafe temperature condition
is detected. If the cell voltage is less than 3.25V, 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 condition persists for more than 1/4 of
the total charge time.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
See Test Circuit.
Note 3:
Does not include tolerance of current sense resistor or current
programming resistor.
Note 4:
The LTC4007E-1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
