Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4002 is a complete battery charger controller for one (4.2V) or two (8.4V) cell lithium-ion batteries. With a 500kHz switching frequency, the LTC4002 provides a small, simple and efficient solution to fast charge Li-Ion batteries from a wide range of supply voltages. An external sense resistor sets the charge current with ±5% accuracy. An internal resistor divider and precision reference set the final float voltage to 4.2V per cell with ±1% accuracy.
