DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®1730 is a complete pulse charger for 1-cell
lithium-ion batteries. When charging a depleted cell, the
internal MOSFET is fully on allowing the current limited
input power source to provide charge current to the
battery,virtuallyeliminatingheatgenerationinthecharger.

Sense Resistor Limits Maximum Current for Safety
■
1% Float Voltage Accuracy
■
End-of-Charge (C/10) Detection Output
■
Programmable Charge Termination Timer
As the battery accepts charge and approaches the pro-
grammed voltage, the internal MOSFET begins switching
off and on with the duty cycle gradually decreasing as the
battery approaches a fully charged condition. A program-
mable timer ends the charge cycle. The end-of-charge
condition is indicated at the CHRG pin when the average
charge current falls to C/10. Removing the input voltage
puts the LTC1730 into a sleep mode, dropping the battery
current drain to less than 1µA (maximum).

Qualification
■
Automatic Trickle Charge for Low-Battery
■
Automatic Battery Refresh
An external sense resistor limits the maximum charge
current as a safety precaution against a user connecting a
wall adapter with the incorrect or no current limit. The
internal MOSFET prevents reverse battery current from
flowing if the input voltage is shorted to ground, eliminat-
ing the need for a blocking diode.
