The LTC ®4050-4.1/LTC4050-4.2 are complete standalone
constant-current/constant-voltage linear charge controllers for lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Charge current is
programmable and final float voltage has ±1% accuracy.
When the input supply is removed, the LTC4050 automatically enters a low quiescent current sleep mode, dropping
the battery drain current to 5µA. An internal comparator
detects the near-end-of-charge (C/10) condition while a
programmable timer, using an external capacitor, sets the
total charge time. Fully discharged cells are automatically
trickle charged at 10% of the programmed current until
cell voltage exceeds 2.49V. The thermistor interface
suspends charging if the cell temperature is outside of a
0°C to 50°C temperature window.
The LTC4050 begins a new charge cycle when a discharged
battery is connected to the charger or when the input power
is applied. In addition, a new charge cycle is automatically
started if the battery remains connected to the charger and
the cell voltage drops below 3.88V for 4.1V cells or below
3.98V for 4.2V cells.
The LTC4050 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
BAT (Pin 1): Battery Sense Input. A precision internal
resistor divider on this pin sets the final float voltage. The
resistor divider is disconnected in sleep mode to reduce
the current drain on the battery. A bypass capacitor of
10µF or more is required to keep the loop stable when the
battery is not connected.
NTC (Pin 2): Thermistor Interface Input. A 10kΩ Dale
Curve 2 NTC thermistor (or other 10kΩ NTC thermistor
with a room temperature beta of around 3400) is connected from this pin to ground. The charge cycle will be
disabled and the timer will be placed on hold if the
thermistor temperature is above 50°C or below 0°C.
CHRG (Pin 3): Charge Status Open-Drain Output. When
the battery is charging, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an
internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge current
drops to 10% of the full-scale current for more than 15ms,
the N-channel MOSFET turns off and a 32µA current
source is connected from the CHRG pin to GND. When the
timer runs out or the input supply is removed, the current
source is disconnected and the CHRG pin becomes high
impedance.
TIMER (Pin 4): Timer Capacitor and Constant-Voltage
Mode Disable Input Pin. The timer period is set by placing
a capacitor, CTIMER, to GND. The timer period is tTIMER =
(CTIMER • 3 hours)/(0.1µF). Shorting the TIMER pin to
GND will disable the internal timer function and the C/10
function.
PROG (Pin 6): Charge Current Program and Shutdown
Input Pin. The charge current is programmed by connecting a resistor, RPROG to ground. The charge current is IBAT
= (VPROG • 800Ω)/(RPROG • RSENSE). The IC can be forced
into shutdown by floating the PROG pin and allowing the
internal 2.3µA current source to pull the pin above the 3.6V
shutdown threshold voltage.
DRV (Pin 7): Drive Output Pin for the P-Channel MOSFET
or PNP Transistor. The impedance is high at this pin,
therefore, if a PNP pass transistor is used, it must have
high gain.
VCC (Pin 8): Positive Input Supply Voltage. VCC can range
from 4.5V to 10V. Bypass this pin with a 1µF capacitor.
When VBAT is within 54mV of VCC, the LTC4050 is forced
into sleep mode, dropping ICC to 5µA.
SENSE (Pin 9): Current Sense Input. A sense resistor,
RSENSE, must be connected from VCC to the SENSE pin.
Select a resistor value that will develop approximately
100mV at the programmed full-scale charge current.
This resistor is chosen using the following equation:
RSENSE = (VPROG • 800Ω)/(RPROG • IBAT)
ACPR (Pin 10): Wall Adapter Present Output. When the
input voltage (wall adaptor) is applied to the LTC4050, this
pin is pulled to ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET
that is capable of sinking 5mA suitable for driving an
external LED.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.

OPERATIO
The LTC4050 is a linear battery charger controller. The
charge current is programmed by the combination of a
program resistor (RPROG) from the PROG pin to ground
and a sense resistor (RSENSE) between the VCC and SENSE
pins. RPROG sets a program current through an internal
trimmed 800Ω resistor setting up a voltage drop from VCC
to the input of the current amplifier (CA). The current
amplifier servos the gate of the external P-channel MOSFET
to force the same voltage drop across RSENSE which sets
the charge current. When the voltage at the BAT pin
approaches the preset float voltage, the voltage amplifier
(VA) will start sinking current which reduces the voltage
drop across RSENSE, thus reducing the charge current.
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at VCC pin rises
above the UVLO level, a program resistor is connected
from the PROG pin to ground, and the NTC thermistor
temperature is between 0°C and 50°C. At the beginning of
the charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below 2.49V, the
charger goes into trickle charge mode. The trickle charge
current is 10% of the full-scale current. If the cell voltage
stays low for one quarter of the total charge time, the
charge sequence will terminate.
The charger goes into the fast charge constant-current
mode after the voltage on the BAT pin rises above 2.49V.
In constant-current mode, the charge current is set by the
combination of RSENSE and RPROG.
When the battery approaches the final float voltage, the
charge current will begin to decrease. When the current
drops to 10% of the full-scale charge current, an internal
comparator will turn off the pull-down N-channel MOSFET
at the CHRG pin and connect a weak current source to
ground, indicating that the battery is nearly fully charged
(C/10 occurs at approximately 94% charge).
An external capacitor on the TIMER pin sets the total
charge time. After a time-out occurs, the charge cycle is
terminated and the CHRG pin is forced high impedance. To
restart the charge cycle, remove the input voltage and
reapply it, or momentarily float the PROG pin.
Replacing the battery when charging will cause the timer
to be reset if the cell voltage of the new battery is below
3.88V (for 4.1V cells) or 3.98V (for 4.2V cells). If the
voltage is above 3.88V(for 4.1V cells) or 3.98V (for 4.2V
cells) the timer will continue for the remaining charge
time. In the case when a time out has occurred, a new
battery with a cell voltage of less than 3.88V or 3.98V can
be inserted and charged automatically with the full programmed charge time.
For batteries like lithium-ion that require accurate final
float voltage, the internal 2.47V reference, voltage amplifier and the resistor divider provide regulation with ±1%
(max) accuracy.
The charger can be shut down by floating the PROG pin.
An internal current source will pull it high and clamp at
3.5V.
When the input voltage is not present, the charger goes
into a sleep mode, dropping ICC to 5µA. This greatly
reduces the current drain on the battery and increases the
standby time.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Charger Conditions
Programming Charge Current
The charger is off when any of the following conditions exist:
the voltage at the VCC pin is below 4V, the voltage at the VCC
pin is greater than 4V but is less than 54mV above VBAT,
the PROG pin is floating, the timer has timed out or the
thermistor temperature is outside the acceptable range. In
this condition, the DRV pin is pulled to VCC and the internal
resistor divider is disconnected to reduce the current drain
on the battery.
The formula for the battery charge current (see Block
Diagram) is:
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
IBAT = (IPROG)(800Ω/RSENSE)
= (2.47V/RPROG)(800Ω/RSENSE) or
RPROG = (2.47V/IBAT)(800Ω/RSENSE)
where RPROG is the total resistance from the PROG pin to
ground.
For example, if 0.5A charge current is needed, select a
value for RSENSE that will drop 100mV at the maximum
charge current. RSENSE = 0.1V/0.5A = 0.2Ω, then calculate:
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode until VCC
rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold of 4V. To
prevent oscillation around VCC = 4V, the UVLO circuit has
built-in hysteresis.
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% resistors
are recommended. The closest 1% resistor value is 19.6k.
Trickle Charge and Defective Battery Detection
Programming the Timer
At the beginning of the charging sequence, if the battery
voltage is low (below 2.49V), the charger goes into trickle
mode. In this mode, the charge current is reduced to 10%
of the full-scale current. If the low cell voltage persists for
one quarter of the total charge time, the battery is considered defective, the charge cycle is terminated and the
CHRG pin output becomes high impedance.
The programmable timer terminates the charge cycle.
Typically when charging at a 1C rate, a discharged Li-Ion
battery will become fully charged in 3 hours. For lower
charge current rates, extend the time accordingly. The
length of the timer is programmed by an external capacitor at the TIMER pin. The total charge time is:
RPROG = (2.47V/500mA)(800Ω/0.2Ω) = 19.76k
Time (Hours) = (3 Hours) • (CTIMER/0.1µF) or
Shutdown
CTIMER = 0.1µF • Time (Hours)/3 Hours
The LTC4050 can be forced into shutdown by floating the
PROG pin and allowing the internal 2.3µA current source
to pull the pin above the 3.6V shutdown threshold voltage.
In shutdown, the DRV pin is pulled up to VCC, turning off
the external P-channel MOSFET and resetting the internal
timer.
The timer starts when an input voltage greater than 4V is
applied and the program resistor is connected to ground.
After a time-out occurs, the CHRG output will go high
impedance to indicate that charging has stopped. To disable the timer function, short the TIMER pin to GND.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CHRG Status Output Pin (C/10)
When the charge cycle starts, the CHRG pin is pulled to
ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET that can drive an
LED. When the charge current drops to 10% of the fullscale current (C/10), the N-channel MOSFET turns off and
a weak 32µA current source to ground is connected to the
CHRG pin. After a time-out occurs, the pin goes high
impedance. By using two different value pull-up resistors,
a microprocessor can detect three states from this pin
(charging, C/10 and stop charging). See Figure 1.
When the LTC4050 is in charge mode, the CHRG pin is
pulled low by an internal N-channel MOSFET. To detect
this mode, force the digital output pin, OUT, high and
measure the voltage at the CHRG pin. The N-channel
MOSFET will pull the pin low even with a 2k pull-up
resistor. Once the charge current drops to 10% of the fullscale current (C/10), the N-channel MOSFET turns off and
a 32µA current source is connected to the CHRG pin. The
IN pin will then be pulled high by the 2k pull-up. By forcing
the OUT pin into a high impedance state, the current
source will pull the pin low through the 400k resistor.
When the internal timer has expired, the CHRG pin will
change to high impedance state and the 400k resistor will
then pull the pin high to indicate charging has stopped.
The CHRG pin open-drain device will turn on if the BAT pin
falls below the trickle charge threshold and the LTC4050
has neither timed out nor been put into shutdown. For
example, if the battery and NTC thermistor are both
disconnected from the typical application circuit, the BAT
voltage will collapse due to the thermal fault and CHRG will
pull low. Entering shutdown by floating the PROG pin will
prevent the CHRG pulldown from turning␣ on.
ACPR Output Pin
The LTC4050 has an ACPR output pin to indicate that the
input supply (wall adapter) is higher than 4V and 54mV or
more above the voltage at the BAT pin. When both conditions are met, the ACPR pin is pulled to ground by an
N-channel MOSFET that is capable of driving an LED.
Otherwise, this pin is in a high impedance state.
Gate Drive
Typically the LTC4050 controls an external P-channel
MOSFET to supply current to the battery. An external PNP
transistor can also be used as the pass transistor instead
of the P-channel MOSFET. Due to the low current gain of
the current amplifier (CA), a high gain Darlington PNP
transistor is recommended to avoid excessive charge
current error. The gain of the current amplifier is around
0.6µA/mV. For every 1µA of base current, a 1.6mV of gain
error shows up at the inputs of CA. With RPROG = 19.6k
(100mV across RSENSE), it represents 1.67% of error in
charge current.
Battery Detection
The LTC4050 can detect the insertion of a new battery.
When a battery with a voltage of less than 3.88V (for 4.1V
cells) or 3.98V (for 4.2V cells) is inserted, the LTC4050
resets the timer and starts a new charge cycle. If the cell
voltage of the new battery is above 3.88V (for 4.1V cells)
or 3.98V (for 4.2V cells), a new charge cycle will not begin.
If a new battery (with cell voltage above 3.88V) is inserted
while in the charging process, the timer will not be reset,
but will continue until the timer runs out.
After a time out has occurred and the battery remains
connected, a new charge cycle will begin if the battery
voltage drops below the recharge threshold of 3.88V (for
4.1V cells) or 3.98V (for 4.2V cells) due to self-discharge
or external loading.
Stability
The charger is stable without any compensation when a
P-channel MOSFET is used as the pass transistor.
However, a 10µF capacitor is recommended at the BAT
pin to keep the ripple voltage low when the battery is
disconnected.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If a PNP transistor is chosen as the pass transistor, a
1000pF capacitor is required from the DRV pin to VCC. This
capacitor is needed to help stabilize the voltage loop. A
10µF capacitor at the BAT pin is also recommended when
a battery is not present.
28.6k trimmed thin film resistor that connects to VCC
through a P-channel MOSFET. This MOSFET also biases
an internal resistor string to ground, from which voltage
thresholds of approximately VCC/2 and VCC/8 are derived.
The NTC pin is compared to these thresholds by two
comparators that have wired-OR outputs. The thresholds
are selected such that an overtemperature condition will
occur when the thermistor resistance is less than approximately 4.1k and undertemperature condition will occur
when the thermistor resistance is greater than approximately 28.5k. These correspond to thermistor temperatures of 50°C and 0°C for the specific type of thermistor
listed above (many others will be close enough for most
purposes). The MOSFET is turned off during undervoltage
conditions, preventing the dividers that are biased from it
from drawing current from the battery when input power
is removed. The drop across the MOSFET is common to
both resistor dividers and does not cause any loss of
accuracy in the circuit. The comparators have approximately 10mV of hysteresis to prevent oscillations around
the trip points.
VCC Bypass Capacitor
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing.
However, caution must be exercised when using multilayer ceramic capacitors. Because of the self resonant and
high Q characteristics of some types of ceramic capacitors, high voltage transients can be generated under some
start-up conditions, such as connecting the charger input
to a hot power source. These transients can be minimized
by using X5R dielectric capacitors and/or by adding a 1.5Ω
resistor in series with the ceramic input capacitor. For
more information, refer to Application Note 88.
Thermistor Interface
A thermistor connected to the NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) pin can be used to sense the battery temperature to determine if the battery is within an acceptable
temperature range for charging (between 0°C and 50°C).
A Dale (curve 2) 10k thermistor is recommended although
many other types of thermistors can also be used. For
example, a BetaCHIP (curve 7) 10k thermistor or other 10k
thermistors with a room temperature beta of approximately 3400 will work well. The thermistor is connected
from NTC (pin 2) to ground and is biased up by an internal
When an undertemperature or overtemperature condition
is sensed, the current amplifier pulldown is disabled and
DRV is pulled high, the timer is placed in a hold condition
with the count frozen until the battery temperature is
within an acceptable range. The end-of-charge comparator is also disabled to prevent a premature end of charge
signal due to the lack of battery charging current.
