The LT ®1620 simplifies the design of high performance,
controlled current battery charging circuits when used in
conjunction with a current mode PWM controller IC.
The LT1620 regulates average output current independent
of input and output voltage variations. Output current can
be easily adjusted via a programming voltage applied to
the LT1620’s PROG pin.
Most current mode PWM controllers have limited output
voltage range because of common mode limitations on the
current sense inputs. The LT1620 overcomes this restriction by providing a level-shifted current sense signal,
allowing a 0V to 32V output voltage range.
The 16-pin version of the LT1620 contains a programmable low charging current flag output. This output flag
can be used to signal when a Li-Ion battery charging cycle
is nearing completion.
The LT1621 incorporates two fully independent current
control circuits for dual loop applications.

Current Sense Amplifier
The current sense amplifier is a multiple output voltage
amplifier with an operational input common mode range
from 0V to 32V. The amplifier generates scaled output
voltages at the SENSE, AVG and AVG2 (available in
LT1620GN) pins. These output signal voltages are referenced to the VCC supply by pulling signal current through
internal VCC referred resistors.

The first output (SENSE) is a unity gain, level-shifted representation of the input signal (IN+ – IN–). In typical PWM/
charger type applications, this output is used to drive the
current sense amplifier of the mated PWM controller IC.
The other two outputs (AVG and AVG2) are internally
connected to a transconductance amplifier and comparator, respectively. The AVG output yields a gain of 10, and
the AVG2 output provides a gain of 20. These pins are

(Refer to the Functional Block Diagram)
used as integration nodes to facilitate averaging of the
current sense amplifier signal. (Note: filter capacitors on
these pins should bypass to the VCC supply.) Integration
of these signals enables direct sensing and control of DC
load current, eliminating the inclusion of ripple current in
load determination.
Transconductance Amplifier
The transconductance amplifier converts the difference
between the current programming input voltage (VPROG)
and the average current sense output (VAVG) into a current
at the amplifier output pin (IOUT). The amplifier output is
unidirectional and only sinks current. The amplifier is
designed to operate at a typical output current of 130µA
with VAVG = VPROG. In typical PWM/charger type applications, the IOUT current is used to servo the current control
loop on the mated PWM controller IC to maintain a
programmed load current.
Comparator
The comparator circuit (available only in the LT1620GN)
may be used as an end-of-cycle sensor in a Li-Ion battery
charging system. The comparator detects when the charging current has fallen to a small value (typically 20% of the
maximum charging current). The comparator drives an open
collector output (MODE) that pulls low when the VAVG2
voltage is more positive than VPROG2 (output current below
the programmed threshold).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In Figure 2, an LT1620MS8 is coupled with an LTC1435
switching regulator in a high performance lithium-ion
battery charger application. The LTC1435 switching regulator delivers extremely low dropout as it is capable of
approximately 99% duty cycle operation. No additional
power supply voltage is required for the LT1620 in this
application; it is powered directly from a 5V local supply
generated by the LTC1435. The DC charge current control
and high common mode current sense range of the
LT1620 combine with the low dropout capabilities of the
LTC1435 to make a 4-cell Li-Ion battery charger with over
96% efficiency, and only 0.5V input-to-output drop at 3A
charging current. Refer to the LTC1435 data sheet (available
from the LTC factory) for additional information on IC functionality, performance and associated component selection.
This LT1620/LTC1435 battery charger is designed to yield
a 16.8V float voltage with a battery charge current of 3.2A.
The VIN supply can range from 17.3V to 28V (limited by the
switch MOSFETs). The charger provides a constant 3.2A
charge current until the battery voltage reaches the programmed float voltage. Once the float voltage is achieved,
a precision voltage regulation loop takes control, allowing
the charge current to fall as required to complete the
battery charge cycle.
RSENSE Selection
The LT1620 will operate throughout a current programming voltage (VPROG) range of 0V to – 1.25V (relative to
VCC), however, optimum accuracy will be obtained with a
current setting program voltage of – 0.8V, corresponding
to 80mV differential voltage across the current sense
amplifier inputs. Given the desired current requirement,
selection of the load current sense resistor RSENSE is
possible. For the desired 3.2A charge current;
RSENSE = 80mV/3.2A or 0.025Ω
At the programmed 3.2A charge current, the sense resistor will dissipate (0.08V)(3.20A) = 0.256W, and must be
rated accordingly.
Current Sense
The current sense inputs are connected on either side of
the sense resistor with IN+ at the more positive potential,
given average charging current flow. The sense resistor to
IN+, IN– input paths should be connected using twisted
pair or minimum PC trace spacing for noise immunity.
Keep lead lengths short and away from noise sources for
best performance.

Figure 2. LT1620/LTC1435 Battery Charger
Charge Current Programming
Output Float Voltage
Output current delivered during current mode operation is
determined through programming the voltage at the PROG
pin (VPROG). As mentioned above, optimum performance
is obtained with (VCC – VPROG) = 0.8V. The LT1620 is
biased with a precision 5V supply produced by the LTC1435,
enabling use of a simple resistor divider from VCC to
ground for a VPROG reference. Using the desired 2.5kΩ
Thevenin impedance at the PROG pin, values of RP1 = 3k
and RP2 = 15.75k are readily calculated. The PROG pin
should be decoupled to the VCC supply.
The 3.2A charger circuit is designed for a 4-cell Li-Ion
battery, or a battery float voltage of 16.8V. This voltage is
programmed through a resistor divider feedback to the
LTC1435 VOSENSE pin, referencing its 1.19V bandgap
voltage. Resistor values are determined through the relation: RF1 = (VBATT – 1.19)/(1.19/RF2). Setting RF2 = 110k
yields RF1 = 1.44M.
Different values of charging current can be obtained by
changing the values of the resistors in the VPROG setting
divider to raise or lower the value of the programming
voltage, or by changing the sense resistor to an appropriate value as described above.

Other Decoupling Concerns
The application schematic shown in Figure 2 employs
several additional decoupling capacitors. Due to the inherently noisy environment created in switching applications,
decoupling of sensitive nodes is prudent. As noted in the
schematic, decoupling capacitors are included on the
current programming pin (PROG) to the VCC rail and
LT1620/LT1621

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
between the IN+ and IN– inputs. Effective decoupling of
supply rails is also imperative in these types of circuits, as
large current transients are the norm. Power supply
decoupling should be placed as close as possible to the
ICs, and each IC should have a dedicated capacitor.
Design Equations
Sense resistor: RSENSE = VID /IMAX
Current limit programming voltage:
VPROG = VCC – [(10)(VID)]
As mentioned in the previous circuit discussion, the
charging current level is set to correspond to a sense
voltage of 80mV. The circuit in Figure 3 uses a resistor
divider to create a programming voltage (VCC –VPROG2)of
0.5V. The MODE flag will therefore trip when the charging
current sense voltage has fallen to 0.5V/20 or 0.025V.
Thus, the end-of-cycle flag will trip when the charging
current has been reduced to about 30% of the maximum
value.
Input Current Sensing Application
Voltage feedback resistors:
RF1/RF2 = (VBATT(FLOAT) – 1.19)/1.19
End-of-Cycle Flag Application
Figure 3 illustrates additional connections using the
LT1620GN, including the end-of-cycle (EOC) flag feature.
The EOC threshold is used to notify the user when the
required load current has fallen to a programmed value,
usually a given percentage of maximum load.
The end-of-cycle output (MODE) is an open-collector pulldown; the circuit in Figure 3 uses a 10k pull-up resistor on
the MODE pin, connected to VCC.
Monitoring the load placed on the VIN supply of a charging
system is achieved by placing a second current sense
resistor in front of the charger VIN input. This function is
useful for systems that will overstress the input supply
(wall adapter, etc.) if both battery charging and other
system functions simultaneously require high currents.
This allows use of input supply systems that are capable
of driving full-load battery charging and full-load system
requirements, but not simultaneously. If the input supply
current exceeds a predetermined value due to a combination of high battery charge current and external system
demand, the input current sense function automatically
5V
The EOC flag threshold is determined through programming VPROG2. The magnitude of this threshold corresponds to 20 times the voltage across the sense amplifier
inputs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
reduces battery charging current until the external load
subsides.
In Figure 4 the LT1620 is coupled with an LT1513 SEPIC
battery charger IC to create an input overcurrent protected
charger circuit.
The programming voltage (VCC – VPROG) is set to 1.0V
through a resistor divider (RP1 and RP2) from the 5V input
supply to ground. In this configuration, if the input current
drawn by the battery charger combined with the system
load requirements exceeds a current limit threshold of 3A,
the battery charger current will be reduced by the LT1620
such that the total input supply current is limited to 3A.
Refer to the LT1513 data sheet for additional information.
PROGRAMMING ACCURACY CONSIDERATIONS
PWM Controller Error Amp Maximum Source Current
In a typical battery charger application, the LT1620 controls charge current by servoing the error amplifier output
pin of the associated PWM controller IC. Current mode
control is achieved when the LT1620 sinks all of the
current available from the error amplifier. Since the LT1620
has finite transconductance, the voltage required to generate its necessary output current translates to input
offset error. The LT1620 is designed for a typical IOUT sink
current of 130µA to help reduce this term. Knowing the
current source capability of the associated PWM controller in a given application will enable adjustment of the
required programming voltage to accommodate the desired charge current. A plot of typical VPROG voltage offset
vs PWM source capability is shown in Figure 5a. For
example, the LTC1435 has a current source capability of
about 75µA. This translates to about –15mV of induced
programming offset at VPROG (the absolute voltage at the
PROG pin must be 15mV lower).
VCC – VPROG Programmed Voltage ≠ 0.8V
The LT1620 sense amplifier circuit has an inherent input
referred 3mV offset when IN+ – IN– = 0V to insure closedloop operation during light load conditions. This offset vs
input voltage has a linear characteristic, crossing 0V as
IN+ – IN– = 80mV. The offset is translated to the AVG
output (times a factor of 10), and thus to the programming
8
voltage VPROG. A plot of typical VPROG offset voltage vs
IN+ – IN– is pictured in Figure 5b. For example, if the
desired load current corresponds to 100mV across the
sense resistor, the typical offset, at VPROG is 7.5mV (the
absolute voltage at the PROG pin must be 7.5mV higher).
This error term should be taken into consideration when
using VID values significantly away from 80mV.
VCC – VPROG2 Programmed Voltage ≠ 1.6V
(LT1620GN Only)
The offset term described above for VPROG also affects the
VPROG2 programming voltage proportionally (times an additional factor of 2). However, VPROG2 voltage is typically set
well below the zero offset point of 1.6V, so adjustment for this
term is usually required. A plot of typical VPROG2 offset
voltage vs IN+ – IN– is pictured in Figure 5c. For example,
setting the VPROG2 voltage to correspond to IN+ – IN– = 15mV
typically requires an additional –50mV offset (the absolute
voltage at the PROG2 pin must be 50mV lower).
Sense Amplifier Input Common Mode < (VCC – 0.5V)
The LT1620 sense amplifier has additional input offset
tolerance when the inputs are pulled significantly below
the VCC supply. The amplifier can induce additional input
referred offset of up to 11mV when the inputs are at 0V
common-mode. This additional offset term reduces roughly
linearly to zero when VCM is about VCC – 0.5V. In typical
applications, this offset increases the charge current tolerance for “cold start” conditions until VBAT moves away
from ground. The resulting output current shift is generally
negative; however, this offset is not precisely controlled.
Precision operation should not be attempted with sense
amplifier common mode inputs below VCC – 0.5V. Input
referred offset tolerance vs VCM is shown in Figure 5d.
VCC ≠ 5V
The LT1620 sense amplifier induces a small additional
offset when VCC moves away from 5V. This offset follows
a linear characteristic and amounts to about ±0.33mV
(input-referred) over the recommended operating range
of VCC, centered at 5V. This offset is translated to the AVG
and AVG2 outputs (times factors of 10 and 20), and thus
to the programming voltages. A plot of programming
offsets vs VCC is shown in Figure 5e.
