The LT
®
1571 PWM battery charger is a simple, efficient
solution to fast-charge rechargeable batteries including
lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and
nickel-cadmium (NiCd) using constant-current and/or
constant-voltage control. The internal switch is capable
of delivering 1.5A DC current (2A peak current). The
onboard current sense resistor (0.1Ω) allows simple
charge current programming to within 5% accuracy
using a low cost external resistor. The constant-voltage
output can be selected for 4.1V or 4.2V per cell with 0.6%
accuracy.
LT1571 can charge batteries ranging from 1V to 20V. A
saturating switch operating at 200kHz (LT1571-1,
LT1571-2) or 500kHz (LT1571-5) gives high efficiency
and small charger size. A logic output (flag) indicates
Li-Ion near full charge when the charge current drops to
20% of the programmed value. The LT1571-1 and
LT1571-2 are in a 28-pin fused lead narrow SSOP power
package. The LT1571-5 is in a 16-pin fused lead narrow
SSOP power package.
