DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®3550-1 is a standalone linear charger with a
600mA monolithic synchronous buck converter. It is
capable of charging a single-cell Li-Ion battery from both
wall adapter and USB inputs. The charger automatically
selects the appropriate power source for charging.

Charges Single-Cell Li-Ion Batteries from Wall
Adapter and USB Inputs
■
Automatic Input Power Detection and Selection
■
Charge Current Programmable Up to 950mA from
Wall Adapter Input
■
High Efficiency 600mA Synchronous DC/DC
Internal thermal feedback regulates the battery charge

power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
The float voltage is fixed at 4.2V and the charge currents
are programmed with external resistors. The LTC3550-1
terminatesthechargecyclewhenthechargecurrentdrops
below the programmed termination threshold after the
final float voltage is reached. With power applied to both
inputs, the LTC3550-1 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.
