LTC4080
500mA Standalone Li-Ion
Charger with Integrated
300mA Synchronous Buck
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4080 is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear battery charger for a single-cell 4.2V
lithium-ionbatterywithanintegrated300mAsynchronous
buck converter. The small packages and low external
component count make the LTC4080 especially suitable
forportableapplications.Furthermore,LTC4080isspecifi-
cally designed to work within USB power specifications.

The CHRG pin indicates when charge current has
dropped to ten percent of its programmed value (C/10).
An internal 4.5-hour timer terminates the charge cycle.
The full-featured LTC4080 battery charger also includes
trickle charge, automatic recharge and soft-start (to limit
inrush current).

300mA Output Current
The LTC4080 integrates a synchronous buck converter
that is powered from the BAT pin. It has an adjustable
output voltage and can deliver up to 300mA of load cur-
rent. The buck converter also features low current high
efficiency Burst Mode operation that can be selected by
the MODE pin.
