FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4062 is a full-featured, flexible, standalone linear
charger for single-cell Lithium-Ion batteries. 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 Float Voltage with ±0.35% Accuracy
Bothprogrammabletimeandprogrammablecurrentbased
terminationschemesareavailable.Furthermore,theCHRG
open-drain status pin can be programmed to indicate the
battery charge state according to the needs of the applica-
tion. A precise low power comparator is available even
with no power applied as long as battery voltage is higher
than 2.5V. Additional safety features designed to maxi-
mize battery lifetime and reliability include the SmartStart
charging algorithm.

No external sense resistor or external blocking diode is
requiredforchargingduetotheinternalMOSFETarchitec-
ture. Internal thermal feedback regulates the charge cur-
rent to maintain a constant die temperature during high
power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
The charge current is programmed with an external resis-
tor. With power applied, the LTC4062 can be put into
shutdown mode to reduce the supply current to 20µA and
the battery drain current to less than 2µA. Without power
applied, the internal low power comparator can work
sinking only 10µA from the battery.
