FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
Programmable Charge Current Up to 950mA
The LTC®4068 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries.
Its DFN package and low external component count make
the LTC4068 ideally suited for portable applications. Fur-
thermore, the LTC4068 is designed to work within USB
power specifications.
■
Complete Linear Charger in DFN Package
■
No MOSFET, Sense Resistor or Blocking Diode
Required
■
Thermal Regulation Maximizes Charge Rate
Without Risk of Overheating*
■
Charges Directly from a USB Port
No external sense resistor or external blocking diode are
requiredduetotheinternalMOSFETarchitecture.Thermal
feedback regulates the charge current to limit the die
temperature during high power operation or high ambient
temperature conditions. The charge voltage is fixed at
4.2V and the charge current is programmed with a resis-
tor. The LTC4068 terminates the charge cycle when the
charge current drops below the programmed termination
threshold after the final float voltage is reached.

removed,theLTC4068entersalowcurrentstatedropping
the battery drain current to less than 2µA. Other features
include charge current monitor, undervoltage lockout,
automatic recharge and status pins to indicate charge
termination and the presence of adequate input voltage.
