Li-Ion Battery Charger with
600mA Buck Converter
The LTC
®
3550-1 is a standalone linear charger with a
600mA monolithic synchronous buck converter. It is
capable of charging a single-cell Li-Ion battery from both
wall adapter and USB inputs. The charger automatically
selects the appropriate power source for charging.
Internal thermal feedback regulates the battery charge
current to maintain a constant die temperature during high
power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
The fl oat voltage is fi xed at 4.2V and the charge currents
are programmed with external resistors. The LTC3550-1
terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops
below the programmed termination threshold after the
fi nal fl oat voltage is reached. With power applied to both
inputs, the LTC3550-1 can be put into shutdown mode
reducing the DCIN supply current to 20μA, the USBIN
supply current to 10μA, and the battery drain current to
less than 2μA.
The synchronous buck converter generates a fi xed output
voltage of 1.875V. The switching frequency is internally
set at 1.5MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount
inductors and capacitors.
