TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Standalone 250mA Li-Ion
Battery Charger in 2 × 2 DFN
The LTC
®
4065L is a complete constant-current/constant-
voltage linear charger for single-cell lithium-ion batteries.
Its small size and ability to accurately regulate low charge
currents make the LTC4065L especially well-suited for
portable applications using low capacity rechargeable
lithium-ion cells. Furthermore, LTC4065L is specifically
designed to work within USB power specifications.
The CHRG pin indicates when charge current has dropped
to ten percent of its programmed value (C/10). An internal
timer terminates charging according to battery manufac-
turer specifications.
The LTC4065L-4.1 features a constant-voltage float voltage
of 4.1V. This 4.1V version of the standard LTC4065L is in-
tended for back-up or high ambient temperature applications.
Under these conditions, a reduced float voltage will trade-
off initial cell capacity for the benefit of increased capacity
retention over the life of the battery. A reduced float voltage
also minimizes swelling in prismatic and polymer cells.
When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is
removed, the LTC4065L automatically enters a low current
state, dropping battery drain current to less than 1μA. With
power applied, LTC4065L can be put into shutdown mode,
reducing the supply current to less than 20μA.
The full-featured LTC4065L also includes automatic re-
charge, low-battery charge conditioning (trickle charging)
and soft-start (to limit inrush current).
