LT1511
Constant-Current/
Constant-Voltage 3A Battery
Charger with Input Current Limiting
The LT
®
1511 current mode PWM battery charger is the
simplest, most efficient solution to fast charge modern
rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel-
metal-hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) that
require constant-current and/or constant-voltage charg-
ing. The internal switch is capable of delivering 3A* DC
current (4A peak current). Full-charging current can be
programmed by resistors or a DAC to within 5%. With 0.5%
reference voltage accuracy, the LT1511 meets the critical
constant-voltage charging requirement for Li-Ion cells.
A third control loop is provided to regulate the current
drawn from the AC adapter. This allows simultaneous
operation of the equipment and battery charging without
overloading the adapter. Charging current is reduced to
keep the adapter current within specified levels.
The LT1511 can charge batteries ranging from 1V to 20V.
Ground sensing of current is not required and the battery’s
negative terminal can be tied directly to ground. A saturat-
ing switch running at 200kHz gives high charging effi-
ciency and small inductor size. A blocking diode is not
required between the chip and the battery because the
chip goes into sleep mode and drains only 3µA when the
wall adapter is unplugged.
