Lithium-Ion Linear
Battery Charger Controller
The LTC
®
1731-8.2/LTC1731-8.4 are complete constant-
current/constant-voltage linear charger controllers for 2-
cell lithium-ion (Li-Ion)batteries. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd)
and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries can also be
charged with constant current using external termina-
tion. The external sense resistor sets the charge current
with 7% accuracy. An internal resistor divider and preci-
sion reference set the final float potential with 1% accu-
racy. The output float voltages are set internally to 8.2V
(LTC1731-8.2) or 8.4V (LTC1731-8.4).
When the input supply is removed, the LTC1731-8.2/
LTC1731-8.4 automatically enter a low current sleep mode,
dropping the battery drain current to typically 15µA. An
internal comparator detects the end-of-charge (C/10) con-
dition while a programmable timer, using an external
capacitor, sets the total charge time. Fully discharged cells
are automatically trickle charged at 10% of the pro-
grammed current until battery voltage exceeds 4.95V.
The LTC1731-8.2/LTC1731-8.4 are available in the 8-pin
MSOP and SO packages. For 1-cell Li-Ion battery charg-
ing, see the LTC1731-4.1 and LTC1731-4.2 data sheets.
