NTC Thermistor
The battery temperature is measured by placing a nega-
tive temperature coeffi cient (NTC) thermistor close to the
battery pack. The NTC circuitry is shown in Figure 3.
To use this feature, connect the NTC thermistor, R
NTC
,
between the NTC pin and ground, and a bias resistor,
R
NOM
, from IN to NTC. R
NOM
should be a 1% resistor with
a value equal to the value of the chosen NTC thermistor
at 25°C (R25). A 100k thermistor is recommended since
thermistor current is not measured by the LTC4095 and
its current will have to be considered for compliance with
USB specifi cations.
The LTC4095 will pause charging when the resistance of
the NTC thermistor drops to 0.54 times the value of R25
or approximately 54k (for a Vishay “Curve 1” thermistor,
this corresponds to approximately 40°C). If the battery
charger is in constant voltage mode, the safety timer will
pause until the thermistor indicates a return to a valid
temperature.
As the temperature drops, the resistance of the NTC therm-
istor rises. The LTC4095 is also designed to pause charging
when the value of the NTC thermistor increases to 3.25
times the value of R25. For a Vishay “Curve 1” thermistor,
this resistance, 325k, corresponds to approximately 0°C.
The hot and cold comparators each have approximately
3°C of hysteresis to prevent oscillation about the trip point.
Grounding the NTC pin disables all NTC functionality.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Alternate NTC Thermistors and Biasing
The LTC4095 provides temperature qualifi ed charging if a
grounded thermistor and a bias resistor are connected to
the NTC pin. By using a bias resistor whose value is equal
to the room temperature resistance of the thermistor (R25)
the upper and lower temperatures are pre-programmed
to approximately 40°C and 0°C, respectively (assuming
a Vishay “Curve 1” thermistor).
The upper and lower temperature thresholds can be ad-
justed by either a modifi cation of the bias resistor value
or by adding a second adjustment resistor to the circuit.
If only the bias resistor is adjusted, then either the upper
or the lower threshold can be modifi ed but not both. The
other trip point will be determined by the characteristics
of the thermistor. Using the bias resistor in addition to an
adjustment resistor, both the upper and the lower tempera-
ture trip points can be independently programmed with
the constraint that the difference between the upper and
lower temperature thresholds cannot decrease. Examples
of each technique are given below.
NTC thermistors have temperature characteristics which
are indicated on resistance-temperature conversion tables.
The Vishay-Dale thermistor NTHS0603N011-N1003F, used
in the following examples, has a nominal value of 100k
and follows the Vishay “Curve 1” resistance-temperature
characteristic.
In the explanation below, the following notation is used.

The trip points for the LTC4095’s temperature qualifi ca-
tion are internally programmed at 0.349 • IN for the hot
threshold and 0.765 • IN for the cold threshold.
Therefore, the hot trip point is set when:

Solving these equations for R

and R
NTC|HOT
results in the following:
R
NTC|HOT
= 0.536 • R
NOM
and
R
NTC|COLD
= 3.25 • R
NOM
By setting R
NOM
equal to R25, the above equations result
in r
HOT
= 0.536 and r
COLD
= 3.25. Referencing these ratios
to the Vishay Resistance-Temperature Curve 1 chart gives
a hot trip point of about 40°C and a cold trip point of about
0°C. The difference between the hot and cold trip points
is approximately 40°C.
By using a bias resistor, R
NOM
, different in value from
R25, the hot and cold trip points can be moved in either
direction. The temperature span will change somewhat due
to the nonlinear behavior of the thermistor. The following
equations can be used to easily calculate a new value for
the bias resistor:

where r
HOT
and r
COLD
are the resistance ratios at the
de-
sired
hot and cold trip points. Note that these equations
are linked. Therefore, only one of the two trip points can
be chosen, the other is determined by the default ratios
designed in the IC. Consider an example where a 60°C
hot trip point is desired.
From the Vishay Curve 1 R-T characteristics, r
HOT
is 0.2488
at 60°C. Using the above equation, R
NOM
should be set
to 46.4k. With this value of R
NOM
, the cold trip point is
about 16°C. Notice that the span is now 44°C rather than
the previous 40°C.
The upper and lower temperature trip points can be inde-
pendently programmed by using an additional bias resistor
as shown in Figure 4. The following formulas can be used
to compute the values of R

the nearest 1% value is 12.7k. The fi nal solution is shown
in Figure 4 and results in an upper trip point of 45°C and
a lower trip point of 0°C.
USB and Wall Adapter Power
Although the LTC4095 is designed to draw power from a
USB port to charge Li-Ion batteries, a wall adapter can also
be used. Figure 5 shows an example of how to combine
wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel MOSFET,
MP1, is used to prevent back conduction into the USB
port when a wall adapter is present and Schottky diode,
D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through the 1k
pull-down resistor.
Typically, a wall adapter can supply signifi cantly more
current than the 500mA-limited USB port. Therefore, an
N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra program resistor
are used to increase the maximum charge current to
950mA when the wall adapter is present.
