LTC4085
USB Power Manager with
Ideal Diode Controller and
Li-Ion Charger
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
Seamless Transition Between Input Power Sources:
The LTC®4085 is a USB power manager and Li-Ion battery
charger designed for portable battery-powered applica-
tions. The part controls the total current used by the USB
peripheral for operation and battery charging. The total
input current can be limited to 20% or 100% of a pro-
grammed value up to 1.5A (typically 100mA or 500mA).
Battery charge current is automatically reduced such that
the sum of the load current and charge current does not
exceed the programmed input current limit.

Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage Operation with
Thermal Feedback to Maximize Charging Rate Without
Risk of Overheating*
The LTC4085 includes a complete constant-current/
constant-voltage linear charger for single cell Li-ion bat-
teries. The float voltage applied to the battery is held to a
tight0.8%tolerance, andchargecurrentisprogrammable
using an external resistor to ground. An end-of-charge
status output CHRG indicates full charge. Total charge
time is programmable by an external capacitor to ground.
When the battery drops 100mV below the float voltage,
automatic recharging of the battery occurs. Also featured
is an NTC thermistor input used to monitor battery tem-
perature while charging.
