DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®4061-4.4 is a full-featured, flexible, standalone
linearchargerforsingle-cell4.375VLithium-Ionbatteries.It
is capable of operating within USB power specifications.
■
Charge Current Programmable Up to 1A
■
Charges Single-Cell Li-Ion Batteries Directly from
USB Port
■
Preset 4.375V Float Voltage with ±0.4% Accuracy
Both programmable time and programmable current
based termination schemes are available. Furthermore,
the CHRG open-drain status pin can be programmed to
indicate the battery charge state according to the needs
of the application. Additional safety features designed to
maximize battery lifetime and reliability include NTC bat-
tery temperature sensing and the SmartStart charging
algorithm.

No external sense resistor or external blocking diode is
required for charging due to the internal MOSFET archi-
tecture. Internal thermal feedback regulates the charge
currenttomaintainaconstantdietemperatureduringhigh
power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
The charge current is programmed with an external resis-
tor. With power applied, the LTC4061-4.4 can be put into
shutdown mode to reduce the supply current to 20µA and
the battery drain current to less than 5µA.
