DESCRIPTION
The LTC4012 is a constant-current/constant-volt age battery charger controller. It uses a synchronous
quasi-constant frequency PWM control architecture that will not generate audible noise with ceramic bulk capacitors. Charge current is set by external resistors and can be monitored as an output voltage. With no built-in termination, the LTC4012 family charges a wide range of batteries under external control.
