FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
Charge Current Programmable up to 1A
Integrated 100mA Adjustable Low Dropout Linear
TheLTC®4063isastandalonelinearchargerforsinglecell
lithium-ion batteries with an adjustable low dropout linear
regulator (LDO). The adjustable LDO regulates an output
voltage between 1.2V to 4.2V at up to 100mA load current.
When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is
removed, the LDO regulates the output voltage without
interruption.ThebatterychargerandLDOregulatorcanbe
enabled individually.

Thermal Regulation Maximizes Charge Rate
■
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 float voltage is fixed at 4.2V and the charge current is
programmedwithanexternalresistor.Chargetermination
methods include minimum charge current or maximum
time. With power applied, the LTC4063 can be put into
shutdown mode to reduce the supply current to 35µA and
the battery drain current to less than 2µA.
