Description

4 V
The PSC1534 is a constant-current/constant-voltage
Li-Ion battery charger controller that is functionally
equivalent and performance equivalent to the
LTC®1734. As an enhancement, the PSC1534 also
includes automatic detection and trickle charging of
deeply discharged batteries (VBAT <2.42 V).

The PSC1534 allows charge current programming
using a single external resistor, RPROG. The voltage
on the PROG pin is proportional to the charging cur-
rent at the ISENSE pin, allowing the user to use an
external A/D to monitor charging progress. A low bat-
tery drain (BAT pin) manual shutdown state can be
forced by floating the PROG pin. When the input sup-
ply (VIN) is removed, the PSC1534 enters a very low-
current sleep mode, during which BAT input supply
current is <1 µA.
