Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4052 is a complete standalone pulse charger with integrated MOSFET for 1-cell lithium-ion batteries.
An external sense resistor provides overcurrent limiting as a safety precaution against a user connecting a wall adapter with the incorrect or no current limit. The internal MOSFET prevents reverse battery current from flowing if the input voltage is shorted to ground, eliminating the need for a blocking diode.
