DESCRIPTIO
■
Complete Standalone Pulse Charger for 1-Cell
The LTC®4052 is a complete standalone pulse charger
with integrated MOSFET for 1-cell lithium-ion batteries.

Requires No Microcontroller
Internal 0.35Ω NMOS Switch
An external sense resistor provides maximum charge
current limiting 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, eliminating the need for a blocking diode.

1% Float Voltage Accuracy
As the battery accepts charge and approaches the
programmed float voltage, the internal MOSFET begins
switchingoffandonwiththedutycyclegraduallydecreas-
ing as the battery approaches a fully charged condition.
A programmable timer ends the charge cycle. The near
end-of-charge C/10 condition is indicated at the CHRG pin
when the average charge current falls to one-tenth of the
wallpack current. Removing the input voltage puts the
LTC4052 into a sleep mode, dropping the battery current
drain to less than 1µA (maximum).
