System Manager
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4110 is a complete single chip, high efficiency,
flyback battery charge and discharge manager with auto-
maticswitchoverbetweentheinputsupplyandthebackup
battery or super capacitor. The IC provides four modes of
operation: battery backup, battery charge, battery calibra-
tion and shutdown. Battery backup and battery charge are

During calibration the flyback charger is used in reverse
to discharge the battery with a programmable constant
current into the system load eliminating heat generation.

the SMBus to become GPIOs. User programmable over-
discharge protection is provided. The SHDN pin isolates
the battery to support shipping the product with a charged
battery installed.
