DescripTion
The LTC®4009 is a constant-current/constant-voltage
battery charger controller. It uses a synchronous quasi-
constant frequency PWM control architecture that will
not generate audible noise with ceramic bulk capacitors.
Charge current is set by the combination of external
sense, input and programming resistors. With no built-in
termination, the LTC4009 family charges a wide range of
batteries under external control.
