FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LTC4064 is a standalone linear charger optimized for
prolongingthelifeof1-cellLi-ionbatteriesinbatteryback-
up applications. By charging to a float voltage of 4V
insteadof4.2Vor4.1V,theLTC4064deceleratestheaging
process and capacity degradation when the battery is
unused for long periods of time but must be in a ready
state.
Preset 4V Charge Voltage with 1% Accuracy
Prolongs 4.2V Li-Ion Battery Lifetime
Automatic Recharge
Thermal Regulation Maximizes Charging Rate

the charge cycle while the charge current is set externally
with a single resistor. When the input supply is removed,
the LTC4064 automatically enters a low current sleep
mode, dropping the battery drain current to less than 3µA.

Additional safety features designed to maximize battery
lifetime and reliability include NTC temperature sensing
and low battery charge conditioning (trickle charging).

The IC contains an on-chip power MOSFET and eliminates
the need for an external sense resistor and blocking diode.
The LTC4064 also includes C/10 detection circuitry, AC
present logic, and fault detection circuitry.
