TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
40V 400mA Synchronous
Step-Down Battery Charger
The LT C
®
4121 is a 400mA constant-current/constant-
voltage (CC/CV) synchronous step-down battery charger.
In addition to CC/CV operation, the LTC4121 regulates its
input voltage to a programmable percentage of the input
open-circuit voltage. This technique maintains maximum
power transfer with high impedance input sources such
as solar panels.
An external resistor programs the charge current up to
400mA. The LTC4121-4.2 is suitable for charging Li-Ion/
Polymer batteries, while the programmable float voltage
of the LTC4121 is suitable for several battery chemistries.
The LTC4121 and LTC4121-4.2 include an accurate RUN
pin threshold, low voltage battery preconditioning and bad
battery fault detection, timer termination, auto-recharge,
and NTC temperature qualified charging. The FAULT pin
provides an indication of bad battery or temperature faults.
Once charging is terminated, the LTC4121 signals end-of-
charge via the CHRG pin, and enters a low current SLEEP
mode. An auto-restart feature starts a new charging cycle
if the battery voltage drops by 2.2%.
