FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1980 integrates PWM power control for charg-
ing a battery and converting the battery voltage to a
regulated output or simultaneously charging the battery
whilepoweringasystemloadfromanunregulatedACwall
adapter. Combining these features into a single IC pro-
duces a smaller area and lower cost solution compared to
presentlyavailablemulti-ICsolutions.TheLTC1980shares
the discrete components for both the battery charger and
theDC/DCconverterthusminimizingsizeandcostrelative
to dual controller solutions. Both the battery charger and
DC/DC converter use a current mode flyback topology for
high efficiency and excellent transient response. Optional
BurstModeoperationandpower-downmodeallowpower
density, efficiency and output ripple to be tailored to the
application.

The LTC1980 provides a complete Li-Ion battery charger
with charge termination timer, preset Li-Ion battery volt-
ages, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and user-
programmableconstant-currentcharging.Automaticbat-
tery recharging, shorted-cell detection, and open-drain
C/10 and wall plug detect outputs are also provided. User
programming allows NiMH and NiCd battery chemistries
to be charged as well.
