High Voltage Step Down Regulator
The power delivered from HVIN to HVOUT is controlled
by a 750kHz constant frequency, current mode step down
regulator. An external P-channel MOSFET directs this
power to OUT and prevents reverse conduction from OUT
to HVOUT (and ultimately HVIN).
A 750kHz oscillator enables an RS fl ip-fl op, turning on the
internal 1.95A power switch Q1. An amplifi er and compara-
tor monitor the current fl owing between the HVIN and SW
pins, turning the switch off when this current reaches a
level determined by the voltage at V
C
. An error amplifi er
servos the V
C
node to maintain approximately 300mV
between OUT and BAT (LTC4089). By keeping the voltage
across the battery charger low, effi ciency is optimized
because power lost to the battery charger is minimized
and power available to the external load is maximized. If
the BAT pin voltage is less than approximately 3.3V, then
the error amplifi er will servo the V
C
node to provide a
constant HVOUT output voltage of about 3.6V. An active
clamp on the V
C
node provides current limit. The V
C
node
is also clamped to the voltage on the HVEN pin; soft-start
is implemented by a voltage ramp at the HVEN pin using
an external resistor and capacitor.
An internal regulator provides power to the control circuitry.
This regulator includes an undervoltage lockout to prevent
switching when HVIN is less than about 4.7V. The HVEN
pin is used to disable the high voltage regulator. HVIN
input current is reduced to less than 2μA and the external
P-channel MOSFET disconnects HVOUT from OUT when
the high voltage regulator is disabled.
The switch driver operates from either the high voltage
input or from the BOOST pin. An external capacitor and
diode are used to generate a voltage at the BOOST pin that
is higher than the input supply. This allows the driver to
fully saturate the internal bipolar NPN power switch for
effi cient operation.
When HVOUT is below 3.95V the operating frequency
is reduced. This frequency foldback helps to control the
regulator output current during start-up and overload.
Ideal Diode from BAT to OUT
The LTC4089/LTC4089-5 has an internal ideal diode as
well as a controller for an optional external ideal diode. If
a battery is the only power supply available, or if the load
current exceeds the programmed input current limit, then
the battery will automatically deliver power to the load via
an ideal diode circuit between the BAT and OUT pins. The
ideal diode circuit (along with the recommended 4.7μF
capacitor on the OUT pin) allows the LTC4089/LTC4089-5
to handle large transient loads and wall adapter or USB
V
BUS
connect/disconnect scenarios without the need for
large bulk capacitors. The ideal diode responds within
a few microseconds and prevents the OUT pin voltage
from dropping signifi cantly below the BAT pin voltage.
A comparison of the I-V curve of the ideal diode and a
Schottky diode can be seen in Figure 3.
If the input current increases beyond the programmed
input current limit additional current will be drawn from the
battery via the internal ideal diode. Furthermore, if power
to IN (USB V
BUS
) or HVIN (high voltage input) is removed,
then all of the application power will be provided by the
battery via the ideal diode. A 4.7μF capacitor at OUT is
suffi cient to keep a transition from input power to battery
power from causing signifi cant output voltage droop. The
ideal diode consists of a precision amplifi er that enables a
large P-channel MOSFET transistor whenever the voltage
at OUT is approximately 20mV (V
FWD
) below the voltage
at BAT. The resistance of the internal ideal diode is ap-
proximately 200m . If this is suffi cient for the application

then no external components are necessary. However,
if more conductance is needed, an external P-channel
MOSFET can be added from BAT to OUT. The GATE pin of
the LTC4089/LTC4089-5 drives the gate of the PFET for
automatic ideal diode control. The source of the external
MOSFET should be connected to OUT and the drain should
be connected to BAT. In order to help protect the external
MOSFET in over-current situations, it should be placed in
close thermal contact to the LTC4089/LTC4089-5.
Battery Charger
The battery charger circuits of the LTC4089/LTC4089-5
are designed for charging single cell lithium-ion batter-
ies. Featuring an internal P-channel power MOSFET, the
charger uses a constant-current/constant-voltage charge
algorithm with programmable current and a program-
mable timer for charge termination. Charge current can be
programmed up to 1.2A. The fi nal fl oat voltage accuracy
is ±0.8% typical. No blocking diode or sense resistor is
required when powering either the IN or the HVIN pins.
The CHRG open-drain status output provides information
regarding the charging status of the LTC4089/LTC4089-5
at all times. An NTC input provides the option of charge
qualifi cation using battery temperature.
An internal thermal limit reduces the programmed charge
current if the die temperature attempts to rise above a
preset value of approximately 105°C. This feature protects
the LTC4089/LTC4089-5 from excessive temperature, and
allows the user to push the limits of the power handling
capability of a given circuit board without risk of dam-
aging the LTC4089/LTC4089-5. Another benefi t of the
LTC4089/LTC4089-5 thermal limit is that charge current
can be set according to typical, not worst-case, ambient
temperatures for a given application with the assurance
that the charger will automatically reduce the current in
worst-case conditions.
The charge cycle begins when the voltage at the OUT
pin rises above the battery voltage and the battery volt-
age is below the recharge threshold. No charge current
actually fl ows until the OUT voltage is 100mV above
the BAT voltage. At the beginning of the charge cycle, if
the battery voltage is below 2.8V, the charger goes into
trickle charge mode to bring the cell voltage up to a safe
level for charging. The charger goes into the fast charge
constant-current mode once the voltage on the BAT pin
rises above 2.8V. In constant current mode, the charge
current is set by R
PROG
. When the battery approaches the
nal fl oat voltage, the charge current begins to decrease
as the LTC4089/LTC4089-5 switches to constant-voltage
mode. When the charge current drops below 10% of the
programmed charge current while in constant-voltage
mode the CHRG pin assumes a high impedance state.
An external capacitor on the TIMER pin sets the total
minimum charge time. When this time elapses the
charge cycle terminates and the CHRG pin assumes a
high impedance state, if it has not already done so. While
charging in constant current mode, if the charge current
is decreased by thermal regulation or in order to maintain
the programmed input current limit the charge time is
automatically increased. In other words, the charge time is
extended inversely proportional to the actual charge current
delivered to the battery. For Li-Ion and similar batteries that
require accurate fi nal fl oat potential, the internal bandgap
reference, voltage amplifi er and the resistor divider provide
regulation with ±0.8% accuracy.
Trickle Charge and Defective Battery Detection
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery volt-
age is low (below 2.8V) the charger goes into trickle
charge reducing the charge current to 10% of the full-
scale current. If the low battery voltage persists for one
quarter of the total charge time, the battery is assumed
to be defective, the charge cycle is terminated and the
CHRG pin output assumes a high impedance state. If
for any reason the battery voltage rises above ~2.8V the
charge cycle will be restarted. To restart the charge cycle
(i.e., when the dead battery is replaced with a discharged
battery), simply remove the input voltage and reapply it
or cycle the TIMER pin to 0V.

when the LTC4089/LTC4089-5 is powered from the IN pin,
the programmed input current limit takes precedent over
the charge current. In such a scenario, the charge current
cannot exceed the programmed input current limit.

For best stability over temperature and time, 1% metal fi lm
resistors are recommended. Under trickle charge conditions,
this current is reduced to 10% of the full-scale value.
The Charge Timer
The programmable charge timer is used to terminate the
charge cycle. The timer duration is programmed by an
external capacitor at the TIMER pin. The charge time is
typically:

The timer starts when an input voltage greater than the
undervoltage lockout threshold level is applied or when
leaving shutdown and the voltage on the battery is less than
the recharge threshold. At power-up or exiting shutdown
with the battery voltage less than the recharge threshold
the charge time is a full cycle. If the battery is greater than
the recharge threshold the timer will not start and charging
is prevented. If after power-up the battery voltage drops
below the recharge threshold, or if after a charge cycle
the battery voltage is still below the recharge threshold,
the charge time is set to one-half of a full cycle.
The LTC4089/LTC4089-5 has a feature that extends charge
time automatically. Charge time is extended if the charge
current in constant current mode is reduced due to load
current or thermal regulation. This change in charge time
is inversely proportional to the change in charge current.
As the LTC4089/LTC4089-5 approaches constant voltage
mode the charge current begins to drop. This change in
charge current is due to normal charging operation and
does not affect the timer duration.
Consider, for example, a USB charge condition where
R
CLPROG
= 2k, R
PROG
= 100k and C
TIMER
= 0.1μF. This
corresponds to a three hour charge cycle. However, if the
HPWR input is set to a logic low, then the input current
limit will be reduced from 500mA to 100mA. With no ad-
ditional system load, this means the charge current will
be reduced to 100mA. Therefore, the termination timer
will automatically slow down by a factor of fi ve until the
charger reaches constant voltage mode (i.e. V
BAT
= 4.2V)
or HPWR is returned to a logic high. The charge cycle is
automatically lengthened to account for the reduced charge
current. The exact time of the charge cycle will depend on
how long the charger remains in constant-current mode
and/or how long the HPWR pin remains a logic low.
Once a time-out occurs and the voltage on the battery is
greater than the recharge threshold, the charge current
stops, and the CHRG output assumes a high impedance
state if it has not already done so.
Connecting the TIMER pin to ground disables the battery
charger.
CHRG Status Output Pin
When the charge cycle starts, the CHRG pin is pulled to
ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET capable of driv-
ing an LED. When the charge current drops below 10%
of the programmed full charge current while in constant
voltage mode, the pin assumes a high impedance state,
but charge current continues to fl ow until the charge
time elapses. If this state is not reached before the end
of the programmable charge time, the pin will assume a
high impedance state when a time-out occurs. The CHRG
current detection threshold can be calculated by the fol-
lowing equation:

•,
For example, if the full charge current is programmed
to 500mA with a 100k PROG resistor the CHRG pin will
change state at a battery charge current of 50mA.
Note: The end-of-charge (EOC) comparator that moni-
tors the charge current latches its decision. Therefore,
the fi rst time the charge current drops below 10% of the
programmed full charge current while in constant volt-
age mode, it will toggle CHRG to a high impedance state.
