DESCRIPTION
LTC4088
High Efficiency Battery
Charger/Power Manager
Demonstration Circuit 1007 is a high efficiency USB power
manager with PowerPath control and Li-Ion/Polymer
battery charger featuring the LT C
®
4088. It includes a syn-
chronous switching input regulator, a full featured battery
charger and an ideal diode. Designed specifically for USB
applications, the LTC4088s switching regulator automati
-
cally limits its input current to either 100mA, 500mA or
1A for wall-powered applications via logic control. There
are also 2.5mA and 500µA suspend modes to prevent the
battery from running down when the product is connected
to a suspended USB bus.
The switching input stage provides power to VOUT where
power sharing between the application circuit and the
battery charger is managed. Unlike linear PowerPath
controllers, the LTC4088’s switching input stage can use
nearly all of the 0.5W or 2.5W available from the USB port
with minimal power dissipation. This feature allows the
LTC4088 to provide more power to the application and

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
battery and eases thermal issues in space constrained
applications.
An ideal diode ensures that the system power is available
from the battery when the input current limit is reached or
if the USB or wall supply is removed. The optional external
P-channel MOSFET supplements the internal ideal diode
by reducing R
ON
and increasing efficiency.
A CHRG LED indicates four possible states of the battery
charger. Charging is indicated when the LED is steady-ON.
Not charging is indicated by a steady-OFF. A NTC fault is
indicated by a slow blinking rate (1.5Hz) and a bad battery
is indicated by a fast blinking rate (6.1Hz).
The LTC4088 is available in the low profile 14-Lead
4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN surface mount package.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1007 is best evaluated using a Li-
Ion/Polymer battery. When using a battery simulator for
evaluation, oscillations must be verified with a real battery
at the same conditions because it is difficult to match the
impedance of a real battery, which is required for battery
charger stability.
Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement and equip
-
ment setup and follow the procedure below.
1. If using an external supply, connect a 0V to 6V, 1.5A
supply with voltage adjusted to 0V between the VBUS
and GND terminals. Connect a voltmeter across the
VBUS and GND terminals. If using the USB input op
-
tion, have cable ready to plug in when all loads and
jumpers are set. Do not use the USB input and an
external supply at the same time.
2. Set JP1, NTC jumper to INT to use the demo board
resistor. To use an external NTC resistor, connect an
NTC resistor between J2 - J3 and the GND terminal.
Then set the NTC jumper to EXT.
3. Use Table 1 to set JP2, JP3, and JP4 (D0, D1, and D2
respectively) to select the desired input current limit
and charger status.

0 0 0 ON 100mA (1×)
0 0 1 OFF 100mA (1×)
0 1 0 ON 500mA (5×)
0 1 1 OFF 500mA (5×)
1 0 0 ON 1A (10×)
1 0 1 OFF 1A (10×)
1 1 0 OFF 500µA (SUSP)
1 1 1 OFF 2.5mA (SUSP)
4. Connect a 0mA to 25mA adjustable load in series
with an ammeter between the 3.3V and GND termi
-
nals. Connect a voltmeter between the 3.3V and GND
terminals.
5. Connect a 0A to 2A adjustable load in series with an
ammeter between the VOUT terminal and the GND
terminal. Connect a voltmeter between the VOUT and
GND terminals.
6. Connect a partially charged (~3.6V) lithium-ion bat
-
tery with the positive lead to the BAT terminal and the
negative lead to a GND terminal. Connect the positive
lead of a voltmeter to the BAT terminal and the nega
-
tive lead to the GND terminal. Connect the positive
terminal of a voltmeter to PROG and the negative
terminal to GND to measure the current flowing into
the battery. The voltage on PROG will read 1V when
the maximum charge current is reached. The voltage
on CLPROG will read 1.188V when the input current
is reached. Observe VOUT and the 3.3V output.

7. If using the USB input, plug in the USB cable and ob
-
serve the charge current, VOUT, and the 3.3V output.
If using an external power supply, slowly increase the
supply and observe that the LTC4088 starts to use
the VBUS input power as the VBUS reaches 4.35V.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
8. Discharge the battery to 2.5V. If charger mode is on,
observe it is charging in trickle charge mode and
the charge current is 50mA. As the battery voltage
increases above 2.85V observe that the charger goes
into full constant current mode. Observe that VOUT
stays above 3.6V when the input current limit is not
exceeded. Remove the NTC jumper on JP2. Observe
the CHRG LED slow blinking rate. Also observe the
35KHz pulse with varying duty cycle between 4.7%
and 95.3% on the CHRG terminal with an oscilloscope.
Reinstall the NTC jumper.
9. Increase the VOUT load and observe when the input
current starts to limit (V
CLPROG
= 1.188V). When input
current limit is reached, VOUT drops from 300mV
above the BAT voltage to 15mV below the BAT volt-
age and the additional load transitions to the battery
through the ideal diode. Due to the high efficiency of
the switching regulator, the charge and load current
may be significantly above the input current depending
on the voltage on the BAT pin.
10. Repeat step 9 with different current limit modes.
11. Set the VBUS input supply to 5V. Observe the battery
current as the battery voltage increases above 4.1V.
The charge current starts to
decrease as the battery
voltage increases towards 4.2V.
