DESCRIPTIO
The LTC ®1732 is a complete constant-current/constantvoltage linear charger controller for lithium-ion
(Li-Ion) batteries. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metalhydride (NiMH) batteries can also be charged with constant current using external termination. Charge current
can be programmed with 7% (max) accuracy using external sense and program resistors. An internal resistor
divider and precision reference set the final float voltage
with 1% accuracy. The SEL pin allows users to charge
either 4.1V or 4.2V cells.

When the input supply is removed, the LTC1732 automatically enters a low current sleep mode, dropping the battery
drain current to 7µA. An internal comparator detects the
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 2.457V.
The LTC1732 begins a new charge cycle when a discharged
battery is connected to the charger or when the input power
is applied. In addition, if the battery remains connected to
the charger and the cell voltage drops below 3.8V for the
LTC1732-4 or below 4.05V for the LTC1732-4.2, a new
charge cycle will automatically begin.

PIN FUNCTIONS
BAT (Pin 1): Battery Sense Input. A bypass capacitor of
10µF or more is required to keep the loop stable when the
battery is not connected. A precision internal resistor
divider on this pin sets the final float potential. The resistor
divider is disconnected in sleep mode to reduce the
current drain on the battery.
SEL (Pin 2): 4.1V/4.2V Battery Selection Input Pin. Grounding this pin will set the output float voltage to 4.1V per cell,
while connecting to VCC will set the voltage to 4.2V per cell.
For the LTC1732-4.2, the SEL pin must be connected to
VCC.
CHRG (Pin 3): Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When
the battery is being charged, 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 35µA current
source is connected from the CHRG pin to GND. When the
timer runs out or the input supply is removed, the current
source will be disconnected and the CHRG pin is forced
into a high impedance state.
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
(hours) = (CTIMER • 3 hours)/(0.1µF). When the TIMER pin
is connected to VCC, the timer is disabled, the constantvoltage mode is disabled and the chip will operate in
constant-current mode only. Shorting the TIMER pin to
GND will disable the internal timer function and the C/10
function.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.
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 2.5µA current source to pull the pin above the
2.457V shutdown threshold voltage.
DRV (Pin 7): Drive Output Pin for the P-Channel MOSFET
or PNP Transistor. If a PNP pass transistor is used, select
a high beta transistor to minimize the charge current error
due to the base current.
VCC (Pin 8): Positive Input Supply Voltage. When VBAT is
within 54mV of VCC, the LTC1732 is forced into sleep
mode, dropping ICC to 7µA. VCC ranges from 4.5V to 12V.
Bypass this pin with a 1µF capacitor.
SENSE (Pin 9): Current Sense Input. A sense resistor,
RSENSE, must be connected from VCC to the SENSE pin.
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 adapter) greater than the undervoltage
lockout threshold is applied to the LTC1732, this pin is
pulled to ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET that is
capable of sinking 5mA to drive an external LED.

OPERATIO
The LTC1732 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 potential at the BAT pin
approaches the preset float voltage, the voltage amplifier
(VA) will start sinking current which shrinks the voltage
drop across RSENSE, thus reducing the charge current.
Charging begins when the potential on the VCC pin rises
above the UVLO level and a program resistor is connected
from the PROG pin to ground. At the beginning of the
charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below 2.457V, 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 2.457V.
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 to indicate an end-of-charge (C/10) condition.
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 to a high impedance state. To restart the charge cycle, simply remove the
input voltage and reapply it, or float the PROG pin momentarily.
For batteries like lithium-ion that require accurate final
float potential, the internal 2.457V reference, voltage amplifier and the resistor divider provide regulation with ±1%
(max) accuracy. For NiMH and NiCd batteries, the LTC1732
can function as a current source by pulling the TIMER pin
to VCC. When in the constant-current only mode, the
voltage amplifier, timer, C/10 comparator and the trickle
charge function are all disabled.
The charger can be shut down by floating the PROG pin
(ICC = 1mA). An internal current source will pull this pin
high and clamp it at 3.5V.
When the input voltage is not present, the charger goes
into a sleep mode, dropping ICC to 7µA. This greatly
reduces the current drain on the battery and increases the
standby time.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Charger Conditions
The charger is off when any of the following conditions exist:
the VCC pin voltage is less than 4.1V, the dropout voltage
(VCC – VBAT) is less than 54mV, or if the program resistor
is floating. The DRV pin is pulled up to VCC thus keeping the
MOSFET off, and the internal resistor divider is disconnected
to reduce the drain on the battery.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode until
VCC rises above 4.1V. To prevent oscillation around
VCC = 4.1V, the UVLO circuit has 200mV of hysteresis.
Trickle Charge and Defective Battery Detection
At the beginning of the charging sequence, if the battery
voltage is below 2.457V, the charger goes into trickle
mode. The charge current is dropped to 10% of the fullscale current. If the low cell voltage persists for one
quarter of the total charging time, the battery is considered
defective, the charging will be terminated and the CHRG
pin output is forced to a high impedance state.
Shutdown
The LTC1732 can be forced into shutdown by floating the
PROG pin and allowing the internal 2.5µA current source
to pull the pin above the 2.457V shutdown threshold
voltage. The DRV pin will then be pulled up to VCC and turn
off the external P-channel MOSFET. The internal timer is
reset in the shutdown mode.
Programming Charge Current
The formula for the battery charge current (see Block
Diagram) is:
IBAT =
2.457V 800Ω
•
RPROG 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:
8
RPROG = (2.457V/500mA)(800Ω/0.2Ω) = 19.656k
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% resistors
are recommended. The closest 1% resistor value is 19.6k.
Programming the Timer
The programmable timer is used to terminate the charge
cycle. The length of the timer is programmed by an
external capacitor at the TIMER pin. The total charge time
is:
Time = (3 Hours)(CTIMER/0.1µF)
The timer starts when an input voltage greater than 4.1V
is applied and the program resistor is connected to ground.
After a time-out occurs, the CHRG output will turn into a
high impedance state to indicate that the charging has
stopped. Connecting the TIMER pin to VCC disables the
timer and also puts the charger into a constant-current
mode. To disable only the timer function, short the TIMER
pin to GND.
Battery Detection and Recharge
LTC1732-4: replacing the battery before the timer has expired will reset the timer, thus starting a new charge cycle,
provided the cell voltage of the new battery is less than
3.8V. If the new battery is greater than 3.8V, the timer will
not be reset and charging will continue for the remaining
portion of the time period. Replacing the battery after the
timer has expired will start a new charge cycle, regardless
of the battery voltage, provided the previous battery voltage exceeded 3.9V before the timer expired. After a complete charge cycle has occurred (VBAT > 3.9V), and the
battery remains connected to the charger, a new charge
cycle will begin if the battery voltage drops below 3.8V
because of a load on the battery or self discharge.
LTC1732-4.2: replacing the battery before the timer has
expired will reset the timer, thus starting a new charge
cycle, provided the cell voltage of the new battery is less
than 4.05V. If the new battery is greater than 4.05V, the
timer will not be reset and charging will continue for the
remaining portion of the time period. Replacing the battery
after the timer has expired will start a new charge cycle,
regardless of the battery voltage, provided the previous
battery voltage exceeded 4.1V before the timer expired.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
After a complete charge cycle has occured (VBAT > 4.1V),
and the battery remains connected to the charger, a new
charge cycle will begin if the battery voltage drops below
4.05V because of a load on the battery or self discharge.
For either version, to force a new charge cycle, regardless
of previous conditions, momentarily lift the program
resistor or remove and reapply the input power.
CHRG Status Output Pin
When the charge cycle starts, the CHRG pin is pulled down
to ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET that can drive
an LED. When the battery current drops to 10% of the fullscale current (C/10), the N-channel MOSFET is turned off
and a weak 35µA current source to ground is connected
to the CHRG pin. A 15ms time delay is included to help
prevent false triggering due to transient currents. The
end-of-charge comparator is disabled in trickle charge
mode. After the timer expires, the charge cycle ends, and
the pin goes into a high impedance state. The timer is used
to terminate the charge cycle. 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.

µPROCESSOR
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 the charging
has stopped.
ACPR Output Pin
The LTC1732 has an ACPR output pin to indicate that the
input supply (wall adapter) is higher than 4.1V and 54mV
above the voltage at the BAT pin. When both conditions are
met, the ACPR pin is pulled down to ground by an
N-channel MOSFET that is capable of driving an LED.
Otherwise, this pin is in a high impedance state.
End of Charge (C/10) Output
The LTC1732 includes a comparator to monitor the charge
current to detect an end-of-charge condition. This comparator does not terminate the charge cycle, but provides
an output signal to indicate a near full charge condition.
The timer is used to terminate the charge cycle. When the
battery current falls below 10% of full scale, the comparator trips and turns off the N-channel MOSFET at the CHRG
pin and switches in a 35µA current source to ground. A
15ms time delay is included to help prevent false triggering due to transient currents. The end-of-charge comparator is disabled in trickle charge mode.

When the LTC1732 is in charge mode, the CHRG pin is
pulled low by the 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 is turned off
and a 35µA current source is connected to the CHRG pin.
The IN pin will then be pulled high by the 2k pull-up. By
The float voltage at the BAT pin can be selected by the SEL
pin. Shorting the SEL pin to ground will set the float
voltage to 4.1V, while connecting it to VCC sets it to 4.2V.
This feature allows the charger to be used with different
types of Li-Ion cells. When charging 4.1V cells, use the
LTC1732-4 with the SEL pin grounded. The LT1732-4
can also be used for charging 4.2V cells by connecting
the SEL pin to VCC. The recharge threshold level is preset
to 3.8V, thus allowing either 4.1V or 4.2V cells to be
charged. Because the recharge threshold voltage level of
the LTC1732-4.2 is preset for 4.05V, this version is not
recommended for 4.1V cells.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Gate Drive
Typically the LTC1732 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 transconductance
of the current amplifier (CA), a high gain Darlington PNP
transistor is required to avoid excessive charge current
error. The transconductance 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). This represents a 1.6%
error in charge current.
is required to properly terminate the charging by floating
the PROG pin.
Stability
Constant-Current Only Mode
The charger is stable without any compensation when a
P-channel MOSFET is used as the pass transistor and
the battery is present. A 10µF tantalum capacitor is
recommended at the BAT pin to keep the ripple voltage
low when the battery is disconnected. A ceramic output
capacitor may also be used, but because of the very low
ESR and high Q characteristics of multilayer ceramic
capacitors, it may be necessary to add a 1Ω resistor in
series with the ceramic capacitor to improve voltage
mode stability.
The LTC1732 can be used as a programmable current
source by connecting the TIMER pin to VCC. This is
particularly useful for charging NiMH or NiCd batteries. In
the constant-current only mode, the timer and voltage
amplifier are both disabled. An external termination method
If a PNP transistor is used for the pass transistor, a 1000pF
capacitor is required from the DRV pin to VCC. To help
stablize the voltage loop a 10µF tantalum capacitor at the
BAT pin is also recommended when a battery is not
present.
