The LT®3652HV is a complete monolithic step-down battery charger that operates over a 4.95V to 34V input range.
The LT3652HV provides a constant-current/constant-voltage
charge characteristic, with maximum charge current
externally programmable up to 2A. The charger employs
a 3.3V float voltage feedback reference, so any desired
battery float voltage up to 18V can be programmed with a
resistor divider.

Battery Charging from Current Limited Adapter
The LT3652HV employs an input voltage regulation loop,
which reduces charge current if the input voltage falls below
a programmed level, set with a resistor divider. When the
LT3652HV is powered by a solar panel, the input regulation
loop is used to maintain the panel at peak output power.
The LT3652HV can be configured to terminate charging when
charge current falls below 1/10 of the programmed maximum
(C/10). Once charging is terminated, the LT3652HV enters a
low-current (85μA) standby mode. An auto-recharge feature
starts a new charging cycle if the battery voltage falls 2.5%
below the programmed float voltage. The LT3652HV also
contains a programmable safety timer, used to terminate
charging after a desired time is reached. This allows top-off
charging at currents less than C/10.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LT3652HV is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
TJ ≅ TA. The LT3652HVE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3652HVI specifications are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures
greater than 125°C.

Note 3: VIN minimum voltages below the start threshold are only
supported if (VBOOST-VSW) > 2V.
Note 4: This parameter is valid for programmed output battery float
voltages ≤ 4.2V. VIN operating range minimum is 0.75V above the
programmed output battery float voltage (VBAT(FLT) + 0.75V). VIN Start
Voltage is 3.3V above the programmed output battery float voltage
(VBAT(FLT) + 3.3V).
Note 5: Output battery float voltage (VBAT(FLT)) programming resistor
divider equivalent resistance = 250k compensates for input bias current.
Note 6: All VFB voltages measured through 250k series resistance.
Note 7: VSENSE(DC) is reduced by thermal foldback as junction temperature
approaches 125°C.

LT3652HV
PIN FUNCTIONS
VIN (Pin 1): Charger Input Supply. VIN operating range
is 4.95V to 34V. VIN must be 3.3V greater than the programmed output battery float voltage (VBAT(FLT)) for reliable start-up. (VIN – VBAT(FLT)) ≥ 0.75V is the minimum
operating voltage, provided (VBOOST – VSW) ≥ 2V. IVIN ~
85μA after charge termination. This pin is typically connected to the cathode of a blocking diode.
VIN_REG (Pin 2): Input Voltage Regulation Reference. Maximum charge current is reduced when this pin is below 2.7V.
Connecting a resistor divider from VIN to this pin enables
programming of minimum operational VIN voltage. This
is typically used to program the peak power voltage for a
solar panel. The LT3652HV servos the maximum charge
current required to maintain the programmed operational
VIN voltage, through maintaining the voltage on VIN_REG
at or above 2.7V. If the voltage regulation feature is not
used, connect the pin to VIN.
SHDN (Pin 3): Precision Threshold Shutdown Pin. The
enable threshold is 1.2V (rising), with 120mV of input
hysteresis. When in shutdown mode, all charging functions
are disabled. The precision threshold allows use of the
SHDN pin to incorporate UVLO functions. If the SHDN pin
is pulled below 0.4V, the IC enters a low current shutdown
mode where VIN current is reduced to 15μA. Typical SHDN
pin input bias current is 10nA. If the shutdown function
is not desired, connect the pin to VIN.
CHRG (Pin 4): Open-Collector Charger Status Output;
typically pulled up through a resistor to a reference voltage. This status pin can be pulled up to voltages as high
as VIN when disabled, and can sink currents up to 10mA
when enabled. During a battery charging cycle, if required
charge current is greater than 1/10 of the programmed
maximum current (C/10), CHRG is pulled low. A temperature fault also causes this pin to be pulled low. After
C/10 charge termination or, if the internal timer is used
for termination and charge current is less than C/10, the
CHRG pin remains high-impedance.
FAULT (Pin 5): Open-Collector Charger Status Output;
typically pulled up through a resistor to a reference voltage. This status pin can be pulled up to voltages as high
as VIN when disabled, and can sink currents up to 10mA
when enabled. This pin indicates fault conditions during a
battery charging cycle. A temperature fault causes this pin
to be pulled low. If the internal timer is used for termination, a bad battery fault also causes this pin to be pulled
low. If no fault conditions exist, the FAULT pin remains
high-impedance.
TIMER (Pin 6): End-Of-Cycle Timer Programming Pin.
If a timer-based charge termination is desired, connect
a capacitor from this pin to ground. Full charge end-ofcycle time (in hours) is programmed with this capacitor
following the equation:
tEOC = CTIMER • 4.4 • 106
A bad battery fault is generated if the battery does not
achieve the precondition threshold voltage within oneeighth of tEOC, or:
tPRE = CTIMER • 5.5 • 105
A 0.68μF capacitor is typically used, which generates a
timer EOC at three hours, and a precondition limit time of
22.5 minutes. If a timer-based termination is not desired,
the timer function is disabled by connecting the TIMER
pin to ground. With the timer function disabled, charging
terminates when the charge current drops below a C/10
threshold, or ICHG(MAX)/10
VFB (Pin 7): Battery Float Voltage Feedback Reference. The
charge function operates to achieve a final float voltage of
3.3V on this pin. Output battery float voltage (VBAT(FLT))
is programmed using a resistor divider. VBAT(FLT) can be
programmed up to 18V.
The auto-restart feature initiates a new charging cycle
when the voltage at the VFB pin falls 2.5% below the float
voltage reference.
The VFB pin input bias current is 110nA. Using a resistor
divider with an equivalent input resistance at the VFB pin
of 250k compensates for input bias current error.
Required resistor values to program desired VBAT(FLT)
follow the equations:
R1 = (VBAT(FLT) • 2.5 • 105)/3.3
(Ω)
R2 = (R1 • 2.5 • 105)/(R1 - (2.5 • 105))
(Ω)
R1 is connected from BAT to VFB, and R2 is connected
from VFB to ground.

LT3652HV
PIN FUNCTIONS
NTC (Pin 8): Battery Temperature Monitor Pin. This pin is
the input to the NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient)
thermistor temperature monitoring circuit. This function is
enabled by connecting a 10kΩ, B = 3380 NTC thermistor
from the NTC pin to ground. The pin sources 50μA, and
monitors the voltage across the 10kΩ thermistor. When
the voltage on this pin is above 1.36 (T < 0°C) or below
0.29V (T > 40°C), charging is disabled and the CHRG and
FAULT pins are both pulled low. If internal timer termination is being used, the timer is paused, suspending the
charging cycle. Charging resumes when the voltage on NTC
returns to within the 0.29V to 1.36V active region. There
is approximately 5°C of temperature hysteresis associated
with each of the temperature thresholds. The temperature
monitoring function remains enabled while the thermistor
resistance to ground is less than 250k, so if this function
is not desired, leave the NTC pin unconnected.
BAT (Pin 9): Charger Output Monitor Pin. Connect a
10μF decoupling capacitance (CBAT) to ground. Depending on application requirements, larger value decoupling
capacitors may be required. The charge function operates
to achieve the programmed output battery float voltage
(VBAT(FLT)) at this pin. This pin is also the reference for
the current sense voltage. Once a charge cycle is terminated, the input bias current of the BAT pin is reduced to
< 0.1μA, to minimize battery discharge while the charger
remains connected.
SENSE (Pin 10): Charge Current Sense Pin. Connect the
inductor sense resistor (RSENSE) from the SENSE pin to the
BAT pin. The voltage across this resistor sets the average
charge current. The maximum charge current (ICHG(MAX))
corresponds to 100mV across the sense resistor. This
resistor can be set to program maximum charge current as high as 2A. The sense resistor value follows the
relation:
RSENSE = 0.1/ICHG(MAX) (Ω)
Once a charge cycle is terminated, the input bias current of
the SENSE pin is reduced to < 0.1μA, to minimize battery
discharge while the charger remains connected.
BOOST (Pin 11): Bootstrapped Supply Rail for Switch
Drive. This pin facilitates saturation of the switch transistor.
Connect a 1μF or greater capacitor from the BOOST pin
to the SW pin. Operating range of this pin is 0V to 8.5V,
referenced to the SW pin. The voltage on the decoupling
capacitor is refreshed through a rectifying diode, with
the anode connected to either the battery output voltage
or an external source, and the cathode connected to the
BOOST pin.
SW (Pin 12): Switch Output Pin. This pin is the output
of the charger switch, and corresponds to the emitter of
the switch transistor. When enabled, the switch shorts

switch is bootstrapped above the VIN supply using the
BOOST supply pin, allowing saturation of the switch for
maximum efficiency. The effective on-resistance of the

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overview
LT3652HV is a complete monolithic, mid-power, multichemistry buck battery charger, addressing high input
voltage applications with solutions that require a minimum
of external components. The IC uses a 1MHz constant frequency, average-current mode step-down architecture.
The LT3652HV incorporates a 2A switch that is driven
by a bootstrapped supply to maximize efficiency during
charging cycles. Wide input range allows operation to full
charge from voltages as high as 34V. A precision threshold
shutdown pin allows incorporation of UVLO functionality
using a simple resistor divider. The IC can also be put into
a low-current shutdown mode, in which the input supply
bias is reduced to only 15μA.
The LT3652HV employs an input voltage regulation loop,
which reduces charge current if a monitored input voltage
falls below a programmed level. When the LT3652HV is
powered by a solar panel, the input regulation loop is used
to maintain the panel at peak output power.
The LT3652HV automatically enters a battery precondition
mode if the sensed battery voltage is very low. In this mode,
the charge current is reduced to 15% of the programmed
maximum, as set by the inductor sense resistor, RSENSE.
Once the battery voltage reaches 70% of the fully charged
float voltage, the IC automatically increases maximum
charge current to the full programmed value.
The LT3652HV can use a charge-current based C/10
termination scheme, which ends a charge cycle when
the battery charge current falls to one tenth of the programmed maximum charge current. The LT3652HV also
contains an internal charge cycle control timer, for timerbased termination. When using the internal timer, the
IC combines C/10 detection with a programmable time
constraint, during which the charging cycle can continue
beyond the C/10 level to top-off a battery. The charge
cycle terminates when a specific time elapses, typically 3
hours. When the timer-based scheme is used, the IC also
supports bad battery detection, which triggers a system
fault if a battery stays in precondition mode for more than
one eighth of the total charge cycle time.
Once charging is terminated, the LT3652HV automatically enters a low-current standby mode where supply
bias currents are reduced to 85μA. The IC continues to
10
monitor the battery voltage while in standby, and if that
voltage falls 2.5% from the full-charge float voltage, the
LT3652HV engages an automatic charge cycle restart. The
IC also automatically restarts a new charge cycle after a
bad battery fault once the failed battery is removed and
replaced with another battery.
The LT3652HV contains provisions for a battery temperature monitoring circuit. This feature monitors battery
temperature using a thermistor during the charging cycle.
If the battery temperature moves outside a safe charging range of 0°C to 40°C, the IC suspends charging and
signals a fault condition until the temperature returns to
the safe charging range.
The LT3652HV contains two digital open-collector outputs,
which provide charger status and signal fault conditions.
These binary-coded pins signal battery charging, standby
or shutdown modes, battery temperature faults, and bad
battery faults.
General Operation (See Block Diagram)
The LT3652HV uses average current mode control loop
architecture, such that the IC servos directly to average
charge current. The LT3652HV senses charger output
voltage through a resistor divider via the VFB pin. The
difference between the voltage on this pin and an internal
3.3V voltage reference is integrated by the voltage error
amplifier (V-EA). This amplifier generates an error voltage on its output (ITH), which corresponds to the average
current sensed across the inductor current sense resistor,
RSENSE, which is connected between the SENSE and BAT
pins. The ITH voltage is then divided down by a factor of
10, and imposed on the input of the current error amplifier
(C-EA). The difference between this imposed voltage and
the current sense resistor voltage is integrated, with the
resulting voltage (VC) used as a threshold that is compared
against an internally generated ramp. The output of this
comparison controls the charger’s switch.
The ITH error voltage corresponds linearly to average
current sensed across the inductor current sense resistor,
allowing maximum charge current control by limiting the
effective voltage range of ITH. A clamp limits this voltage
to 1V which, in turn, limits the current sense voltage to
100mV. This sets the maximum charge current, or the
current delivered while the charger is operating in con-
3652hvf
LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
stant-current (CC) mode, which corresponds to 100mV
across RSENSE. The ITH voltage is pulled down to reduce
this maximum charge current should the voltage on the
VIN_REG pin falls below 2.7V (VIN_REG(TH)) or the die temperature approaches 125°C.
If the voltage on the VFB pin is below 2.3V (VFB(PRE)),
the LT3652HV engages precondition mode. During the
precondition interval, the charger continues to operate in
constant-current mode, but the maximum charge current
is reduced to 15% of the maximum programmed value
as set by RSENSE.
When the charger output voltage approaches the float voltage, or the voltage on the VFB pin approaches 3.3V (VFB(FLT)),
the charger transitions into constant-voltage (CV) mode
and charge current is reduced from the maximum value.
As this occurs, the ITH voltage falls from the limit clamp
and servos to lower voltages. The IC monitors the ITH voltage as it is reduced, and detection of C/10 charge current
is achieved when ITH = 0.1V. If the charger is configured
for C/10 termination, this threshold is used to terminate
the charge cycle. Once the charge cycle is terminated,
the CHRG status pin becomes high-impedance and the
charger enters low-current standby mode.
The LT3652HV contains an internal charge cycle timer that
terminates a successful charge cycle after a programmed
amount of time. This timer is typically programmed to
achieve end-of-cycle (EOC) in 3 hours, but can be configured for any amount of time by setting an appropriate
timing capacitor value (CTIMER). When timer termination
is used, the charge cycle does not terminate when C/10
is achieved. Because the CHRG status pin responds to
the C/10 current level, the IC will indicate a fully-charged
battery status, but the charger continues to source low
currents into the battery until the programmed EOC time
has elapsed, at which time the charge cycle will terminate.
At EOC when the charging cycle terminates, if the battery did
not achieve at least 97.5% of the full float voltage, charging
is deemed unsuccessful, the LT3652HV re-initiates, and
charging continues for another full timer cycle.
Use of the timer function also enables bad-battery detection. This fault condition is achieved if the battery does
not respond to preconditioning, such that the charger
remains in (or enters) precondition mode after 1/8th of
the programmed charge cycle time. A bad battery fault
halts the charging cycle, the CHRG status pin goes highimpedance, and the FAULT pin is pulled low.
When the LT3652HV terminates a charging cycle, whether
through C/10 detection or by reaching timer EOC, the
average current mode analog loop remains active, but
the internal float voltage reference is reduced by 2.5%.
Because the voltage on a successfully charged battery is
at the full float voltage, the voltage error amp detects an
over-voltage condition and ITH is pulled low. When the
voltage error amp output drops below 0.3V, the IC enters
standby mode, where most of the internal circuitry is disabled, and the VIN bias current is reduced to 85μA. When
the voltage on the VFB pin drops below the reduced float
reference level, the output of the voltage error amp will
climb, at which point the IC comes out of standby mode
and a new charging cycle is initiated.
VIN Input Supply
The LT3652HV is biased through a reverse-current blocking element from the charger input supply to the VIN pin.
This supply provides large switched currents, so a highquality, low ESR decoupling capacitor is recommended
to minimize voltage glitches on VIN. The VIN decoupling
capacitor (CVIN) absorbs all input switching ripple current
in the charger, so it must have an adequate ripple current
rating. RMS ripple current (ICVIN(RMS)) is:
ICVIN(RMS) ≅ ICHG(MAX) • (VBAT / VIN)•([VIN / VBAT] – 1)1/2,
where ICHG(MAX) is the maximum average charge current
(100mV/RSENSE). The above relation has a maximum at
VIN = 2 • VBAT, where:
ICVIN(RMS) = ICHG(MAX)/2.
The simple worst-case of ½ • ICHG(MAX) is commonly
used for design.
3652hvf

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Bulk capacitance is a function of desired input ripple voltage (ΔVIN), and follows the relation:
CIN(BULK) = ICHG(MAX) • (VBAT/VIN) / ΔVIN (μF)
Input ripple voltages above 0.1V are not recommended.
10μF is typically adequate for most charger applications.
Charge Current Programming
The LT3652HV charger is configurable to charge at average currents as high as 2A. Maximum charge current is
set by choosing an inductor sense resistor (RSENSE) such
that the desired maximum average current through that
sense resistor creates a 100mV drop, or:
The voltage on the decoupling capacitor is refreshed
through a diode, with the anode connected to either the
battery output voltage or an external source, and the
cathode connected to the BOOST pin. Rate the diode
average current greater than 0.1A, and reverse voltage
greater than VIN(MAX).
To refresh the decoupling capacitor with a rectifying diode
from the battery with battery float voltages higher than
8.4V, a >100mA Zener diode can be put in series with
the rectifying diode to prevent exceeding the BOOST pin
operating voltage range.

VIN / BOOST Start-Up Requirement
The LT3652HV operates with a VIN range of 4.95V to 34V,
however, a start-up voltage requirement exists due to
the nature of the non-synchronous step-down switcher
topology used for the charger. If there is no BOOST supply
available, the internal switch requires (VIN – VSW) ≥ 3.3V
to reliably operate. This requirement does not exist if the
BOOST supply is available and (VBOOST – VSW) > 2V.
When an LT3652HV charger is not switching, the SW pin
is at the same potential as the battery, which can be as
high as VBAT(FLT). As such, for reliable start-up, the VIN
supply must be at least 3.3V above VBAT(FLT). Once switching begins and the BOOST supply capacitor gets charged
such that (VBOOST – VSW) > 2V, the VIN requirement no
longer applies.
3652hvf

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VBAT Output Decoupling
An LT3652HV charger output requires bypass capacitance
connected from the BAT pin to ground (CBAT). A 10μF
ceramic capacitor is required for all applications. In systems
where the battery can be disconnected from the charger
output, additional bypass capacitance may be desired for
visual indication for a no-battery condition (see the Status
Pins section).
If it is desired to operate a system load from the LT3652HV
charger output when the battery is disconnected, additional
bypass capacitance is required. In this type of application,
excessive ripple and/or low amplitude oscillations can occur without additional output bulk capacitance. For these
applications, place a 100μF low ESR non-ceramic capacitor
(chip tantalum or organic semiconductor capacitors such
as Sanyo OS-CONs or POSCAPs) from BAT to ground,
in parallel with the 10μF ceramic bypass capacitor. This
additional bypass capacitance may also be required in
systems where the battery is connected to the charger
with long wires. The voltage rating of CBAT must meet or
exceed the battery float voltage.
Inductor Selection
The primary criterion for inductor value selection in an
LT3652HV charger is the ripple current created in that
inductor. Once the inductance value is determined, an
inductor must also have a saturation current equal to or
exceeding the maximum peak current in the inductor. An
inductor value (L), given the desired amount of ripple current (ΔIMAX) can be approximated using the relation:
L = (10 RSENSE / ΔIMAX) • VBAT(FLT) •
[1 – (VBAT(FLT) / VIN(MAX))]
(μH)
In the above relation, ΔIMAX is the normalized ripple current, VIN(MAX) is the maximum operational voltage, and
VF is the forward voltage of the rectifying Schottky diode.
Ripple current is typically set within a range of 25% to
35% of ICHG(MAX), so an inductor value can be determined
by setting 0.25 < ΔIMAX < 0.35.

Magnetics vendors typically specify inductors with
maximum RMS and saturation current ratings. Select an
inductor that has a saturation current rating at or above (1+
ΔIMAX/2) • ICHG(MAX), and an RMS rating above ICHG(MAX).
Inductors must also meet a maximum volt-second product
requirement. If this specification is not in the data sheet of
an inductor, consult the vendor to make sure the maximum
volt-second product is not being exceeded by your design.
The minimum required volt-second product is:
VBAT(FLT) • (1 – VBAT(FLT)/VIN(MAX)) (V • μS)
Rectifier Selection
The rectifier diode from SW to GND, in a LT3652HV battery
charger provides a current path for the inductor current
when the main power switch is disabled. The rectifier is
selected based upon forward voltage, reverse voltage, and
maximum current. A Schottky diode is required, as low
forward voltage yields the lowest power loss and highest
efficiency. The rectifier diode must be rated to withstand
reverse voltages greater than the maximum VIN voltage.
3652hvf

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The minimum average diode current rating (IDIODE(MAX))
is calculated with maximum output current (ICHG(MAX)),
maximum operational VIN, and output at the precondition
threshold (VBAT(PRE), or 0.7 • VBAT(FLT)):
Because the battery voltage is across the VBAT(FLT) programming resistor divider, this divider will draw a small
amount of current from the battery (IRFB) at a rate of:
IDIODE(MAX) > ICHG(MAX) • (VIN(MAX) – VBAT(PRE)) / VIN(MAX)) (A)
Precision resistors in high values may be hard to obtain, so for some lower VBAT(FLT) applications, it may be
desirable to use smaller-value feedback resistors with an
additional resistor (RFB3) to achieve the required 250k
equivalent resistance. The resulting 3-resistor network,
as shown in Figure 5, can ease component selection
and/or increase output voltage precision, at the expense of
additional current through the feedback divider.
For example, a rectifier diode for a 7.2V, 2A charger with
a 25V maximum input voltage would require:
IDIODE(MAX) > 2 • (25 – 0.7[7.2]) / 25), or
IDIODE(MAX) > 1.6A
IRFB = 3.3 / RFB2

RFB2/RFB1 = 3.3/(VBAT(FLT) – 3.3)
Example:
Using a resistor divider with an equivalent input resistance
at the VFB pin of 250k compensates for input bias current
error. Required resistor values to program desired VBAT(FLT)
follow the equations:
For VBAT(FLT) = 3.6V:
RFB2/RFB1 = 3.3/(3.6 - 3.3) = 11.
Setting divider current (IRFB) = 10μA yields:
RFB2 = 3.3/10μA
RFB1 = (VBAT(FLT) • 2.5 • 105) / 3.3
(Ω)
RFB2 = 330k
RFB2 = (R1 • (2.5 • 105)) / (R1- (2.5 • 105))
(Ω)
Solving for RFB1:
RFB1 = 330k/11
The charge function operates to achieve the final float
voltage of 3.3V on the VFB pin. The auto-restart feature
initiates a new charging cycle when the voltage at the VFB
pin falls 2.5% below that float voltage.
RFB1 = 30k
The divider equivalent resistance is:

Extra care should be taken during board assembly. Small
amounts of board contamination can lead to significant
shifts in output voltage. Appropriate post-assembly board
cleaning measures should be implemented to prevent
board contamination, and low-leakage solder flux is
recommended.
Input Supply Voltage Regulation
The LT3652HV contains a voltage monitor pin that enables
programming a minimum operational voltage. Connecting a resistor divider from VIN to the VIN_REG pin enables
programming of minimum input supply voltage, typically
used to program the peak power voltage for a solar panel.
Maximum charge current is reduced when the VIN_REG pin
is below the regulation threshold of 2.7V.
If an input supply cannot provide enough power to satisfy
the requirements of an LT3652HV charger, the supply voltage will collapse. A minimum operating supply voltage can
thus be programmed by monitoring the supply through
a resistor divider, such that the desired minimum voltage
corresponds to 2.7V at the VIN_REG pin. The LT3652HV
servos the maximum output charge current to maintain
the voltage on VIN_REG at or above 2.7V.
Programming of the desired minimum voltage is accomplished by connecting a resistor divider as shown in
Figure 6. The ratio of RIN1/RIN2 for a desired minimum
voltage (VIN(MIN)) is:

MPPT Temperature Compensation
A typical solar panel is comprised of a number of series-connected cells, each cell being a forward-biased p-n junction.
As such, the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of a solar cell has
a temperature coefficient that is similar to a common p-n
diode, or about –2mV/°C. The peak power point voltage
(VMP) for a crystalline solar panel can be approximated as
a fixed voltage below VOC, so the temperature coefficient
for the peak power point is similar to that of VOC.
Panel manufacturers typically specify the 25°C values for
VOC, VMP, and the temperature coefficient for VOC, making
determination of the temperature coefficient for VMP of a
typical panel straight forward.
The LT3652HV employs a feedback network to program
the VIN input regulation voltage. Manipulation of the
network makes for efficient implementation of various
temperature compensation schemes for a maximum peak
VOC TEMP CO.
PANEL VOLTAGE (V)
Because the VFB pin is a relatively high impedance node,
stray capacitances at this pin must be minimized. Special
attention should be given to any stray capacitances that
can couple external signals onto the pin, which can produce undesirable output transients or ripple. Effects of
parasitic capacitance can typically be reduced by adding
a small-value (20pF to 50pF) feedforward capacitor from
the BAT pin to the VFB pin.

Battery Voltage Temperature Compensation
Some battery chemistries have charge voltage requirements that vary with temperature. Lead-acid batteries in
particular experience a significant change in charge voltage requirements as temperature changes. For example,
manufacturers of large lead-acid batteries recommend
a float charge of 2.25V/cell at 25°C. This battery float
voltage, however, has a temperature coefficient which is
typically specified at –3.3mV/°C per cell.
In a manner similar to the MPPT temperature correction
outlined previously, implementation of linear battery
charge voltage temperature compensation can be accomplished by incorporating an LM234 into the output
feedback network.
For example, a 6-cell lead acid battery has a float charge
voltage that is commonly specified at 2.25V/cell at 25°C,
or 13.5V, and a –3.3mV/°C per cell temperature coefficient,
or –19.8mV/°C. Using the feedback network shown in
Figure 9, with the desired temperature coefficient (TC)

While the circuit in Figure 9 creates a linear temperature
characteristic that follows a typical –3.3mV/°C per cell
lead-acid specification, the theoretical float charge voltage
characteristic is slightly nonlinear. This nonlinear characteristic follows the relation VFLOAT(1-CELL) = 4 × 10–5 (T2)
– 6 × 10–3(T) + 2.375 (with a 2.18V minimum), where
T = temperature in °C. A thermistor-based network can
be used to approximate the nonlinear ideal temperature
characteristic across a reasonable operating range, as
shown in Figure 10.
Status Pins
The LT3652HV reports charger status through two open
collector outputs, the CHRG and FAULT pins. These pins
can accept voltages as high as VIN, and can sink up to
10mA when enabled.
The CHRG pin indicates that the charger is delivering
current at greater that a C/10 rate, or 1/10th of the programmed maximum charge current. The FAULT pin signals
bad battery and NTC faults. These pins are binary coded,

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
of approximately 100mV appears at the charger output,
due to cycling between termination and recharge events,
This cycling results in pulsing at the CHRG output. An
LED connected to this pin will exhibit a blinking pattern,
indicating to the user that a battery is not present. The
frequency of this blinking pattern is dependent on the
output capacitance.
C/10 Termination
The LT3652HV supports a low-current based termination
scheme, where a battery charge cycle terminates when the
current output from the charger falls to below one-tenth
of the maximum current, as programmed with RSENSE.
The C/10 threshold current corresponds to 10mV across
RSENSE. This termination mode is engaged by shorting
the TIMER pin to ground.
When C/10 termination is used, a LT3652HV charger will
source battery charge current as long as the average current
level remains above the C/10 threshold. As the full-charge
float voltage is achieved, the charge current falls until
the C/10 threshold is reached, at which time the charger
terminates and the LT3652HV enters standby mode. The
CHRG status pin follows the charger cycle, and is high
impedance when the charger is not actively charging.
When VBAT drops below 97.5% of the full-charged float
voltage, whether by battery loading or replacement of the
battery, the charger automatically re-engages and starts
charging.
There is no provision for bad battery detection if C/10
termination is used.
Timer Termination
The LT3652HV supports a timer based termination scheme,
in which a battery charge cycle is terminated after a specific
amount of time elapses. Timer termination is engaged
when a capacitor (CTIMER) is connected from the TIMER
pin to ground. The timer cycle EOC (TEOC) occurs based
on CTIMER following the relation:
CTIMER = TEOC • 2.27 x 10–7
(Hours)
Timer EOC is typically set to 3 hours, which requires a
0.68μF capacitor.
The CHRG status pin continues to signal charging at a C/10
rate, regardless of what termination scheme is used. When
timer termination is used, the CHRG status pin is pulled
low during a charging cycle until the charger output current
falls below the C/10 threshold. The charger continues to
top-off the battery until timer EOC, when the LT3652HV
terminates the charging cycle and enters standby mode.
Termination at the end of the timer cycle only occurs if
the charging cycle was successful. A successful charge
cycle is when the battery is charged to within 2.5% of the
full-charge float voltage. If a charge cycle is not successful
at EOC, the timer cycle resets and charging continues for
another full timer cycle.
When VBAT drops below 97.5% of the full-charge float
voltage, whether by battery loading or replacement of the
battery, the charger automatically reengages and starts
charging.
Preconditioning and Bad Battery Fault
A LT3652HV has a precondition mode, where charge current is limited to 15% of the programmed ICHG(MAX), as
set by RSENSE. The precondition current corresponds to
15mV across RSENSE.
Precondition mode is engaged while the voltage on the
VFB pin is below the precondition threshold (2.3V, or
0.7 • VBAT(FLT)). Once the VFB voltage rises above the
precondition threshold, normal full-current charging can
commence. The LT3652HV incorporates 70mV of threshold
hysteresis to prevent mode glitching.

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the internal timer is used for termination, bad battery
detection is engaged. There is no provision for bad battery
detection if C/10 termination is used. A bad battery fault
is triggered when the voltage on VFB remains below the
precondition threshold for greater than 1/8 of a full timer
cycle (1/8 EOC). A bad battery fault is also triggered if a
normally charging battery re-enters precondition mode
after 1/8 EOC.
When a bad battery fault is triggered, the charging cycle
is suspended, so the CHRG status pin becomes highimpedance. The FAULT pin is pulled low to signal a fault
detection.
Cycling the charger’s power or SHDN function initiates
a new charging cycle, but a LT3652HV charger does not
require a reset. Once a bad battery fault is detected, a new
timer charging cycle initiates when the VFB pin exceeds the
precondition threshold voltage. During a bad battery fault,
0.5mA is sourced from the charger, so removing the failed
battery allows the charger output voltage to rise and initiate a charge cycle reset. As such, removing a bad battery
resets the LT3652HV, so a new charge cycle is started by
connecting another battery to the charger output.
Battery Temperature Monitor and Fault
The LT3652HV can accommodate battery temperature
monitoring by using an NTC (negative temperature co-efficient) thermistor close to the battery pack. The temperature
monitoring function is enabled by connecting a 10kΩ,
B = 3380 NTC thermistor from the NTC pin to ground. If the
NTC function is not desired, leave the pin unconnected.
The NTC pin sources 50μA, and monitors the voltage
dropped across the 10kΩ thermistor. When the voltage
on this pin is above 1.36V (0°C) or below 0.29V (40°C),
the battery temperature is out of range, and the LT3652HV
triggers an NTC fault. The NTC fault condition remains until
the voltage on the NTC pin corresponds to a temperature
within the 0°C to 40°C range. Both hot and cold thresholds
incorporate hysteresis that correspond to 5°C.
If higher operational charging temperatures are desired,
the temperature range can be expanded by adding series
resistance to the 10k NTC resistor. Adding a 0.91k resistor
will increase the effective hot temperature to 45°C.
During an NTC fault, charging is halted and both status
pins are pulled low. If timer termination is enabled, the
timer count is suspended and held until the fault condition is relieved.
Thermal Foldback
The LT3652HV contains a thermal foldback protection
feature that reduces maximum charger output current if
the IC junction temperature approaches 125°C. In most
cases, on-chip temperatures servo such that any excessive temperature conditions are relieved with only slight
reductions in maximum charger current.
In some cases, the thermal foldback protection feature
can reduce charger currents below the C/10 threshold. In
applications that use C/10 termination (TIMER=0V), the
LT3652HV will suspend charging and enter standby mode
until the excessive temperature condition is relieved.
Layout Considerations
The LT3652HV switch node has rise and fall times that are
typically less than 10nS to maximize conversion efficiency.
The switch node (Pin SW) trace should be kept as short
as possible to minimize high frequency noise. The input
capacitor (CIN) should be placed close to the IC to minimize
this switching noise. Short, wide traces on these nodes
also help to avoid voltage stress from inductive ringing.
The BOOST decoupling capacitor should also be in close
proximity to the IC to minimize inductive ringing. The
SENSE and BAT traces should be routed together, and
these and the VFB trace should be kept as short as possible. Shielding these signals from switching noise with
a ground plane is recommended.

LT3652HV
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
High current paths and transients should be kept isolated from battery ground, to assure an accurate output
voltage reference. Effective grounding can be achieved
by considering switched current in the ground plane,
and careful component placement and orientation can
effectively steer these high currents such that the battery
reference does not get corrupted. Figure 11 illustrates an
effective grounding scheme using component placement
to control ground currents. When the switch is enabled
(loop #1), current flows from the input bypass capacitor
(CIN) through the switch and inductor to the battery posi-
CIN
tive terminal. When the switch is disabled (loop #2), the
current to the battery positive terminal is provided from
ground through the freewheeling Schottky diode (DF). In
both cases, these switch currents return to ground via the
output bypass capacitor (CBAT).
The LT3652HV packaging has been designed to efficiently
remove heat from the IC via the Exposed Pad on the
backside of the package, which is soldered to a copper
footprint on the PCB. This footprint should be made as
large as possible to reduce the thermal resistance of the
IC case to ambient air.
