Portable USB Devices: Cameras, MP3 Players, PDAs
The LTC®4055 is a USB power manager and Li-Ion battery
charger designed to work in portable battery-powered
applications. The part manages and limits the total current
used by the USB peripheral for operation and battery
charging. Depending on the state of the current select pin
(HPWR), total input current can be limited to either 100mA
or 500mA. The voltage drop from the USB supply or
battery to the USB peripheral is typically less than 100mV
at 400mA and 20mV at 80mA. Other management features
include: automatic switch over to battery when input is
removed, inrush current limiting, reverse current blocking, undervoltage lockout and thermal shutdown.
The LTC4055 includes a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for single cell Li-ion batteries.
The float voltage applied to the battery is held to a tight
0.8% (typ) tolerance, and charge current is programmable
using an external resistor to ground. Fully discharged cells
are automatically trickle charged at 10% of the programmed current until the cell voltage exceeds 2.8V. Total
charge time is programmable by an external capacitor to
ground. When the battery drops 100mV below the float
voltage, automatic recharging of the battery occurs. Also
featured is an NTC thermistor input used to monitor
battery temperature while charging.
The LTC4055 is available in a 16-pin low profile
(4mm × 4mm) QFN package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those beyond which the life of a
device may be impaired.
Note 2: VCC is the greater of VIN1, VOUT or VBAT
Note 3: IN1 and IN2 should be tied together with a low impedance to
ensure that the difference between the two pins does not exceed 100mV
Note 4: All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.

Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 6: The LTC4055EUF is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 7: Guaranteed by long term current density limitations.
Note 8: Accuracy of programmed current may degrade for currents
greater than 1A.

BAT (Pin 2): Connect to a single cell Li-Ion battery. Used
as an output when charging the battery and as an input
when supplying power to OUT. When the OUT pin potential
drops below the BAT pin potential, an ideal diode function
connects BAT to OUT and prevents VOUT from dropping
more than 100mV below VBAT. A precision internal resistor divider sets the final float potential on this pin. The
internal resistor divider is disconnected when IN1/IN2 and
OUT are in UVLO.
OUT (Pin 3): Voltage Output. Used to provide controlled
power to a USB device from either USB VBUS (IN1/IN2) or
the battery (BAT) when the USB is not present. Can also be
used as an input for battery charging when the USB is not
present and a wall adaptor is applied to this pin. Should be
bypassed with at least 10µF to GND.
IN1/IN2 (Pin 4/Pin 1): Input Supply. Connect to USB
supply, VBUS. Used as main supply while connected to
USB VBUS for power control to a USB device. Input
current is limited to either 20% or 100% of the current
programmed by the CLPROG pin as determined by the
state of the HPWR pin. Charge current (to BAT pin)
supplied through the inputs is set to the current programmed by the PROG pin but will be limited by the input
current limit if set greater than the current limit.
Connect IN2 to IN1 with a resistance no greater than
0.05Ω.
WALL (Pin 5): Wall Adapter Present Input. Pulling this pin
above 1V will disable charging from IN1/IN2 and disconnect the power path from IN1/IN2 to OUT. The ACPR pin
will also be pulled low to indicate that a wall adapter has
been detected. Requires the voltage on IN1/IN2 or OUT to
be 100mV greater than VBAT and greater than VUVLO to
activate this function.
SHDN (Pin 6): Shutdown Input. Pulling this pin high will
disable the entire part and place it in a low supply current
mode of operation. All power paths will be disabled. A
weak pull-down current is internally applied to this pin to
ensure it is enabled at power up when the input is not being
driven externally.
SUSP (Pin 7): Suspend Mode Input. Pulling this pin above
1.2V will disable charging from IN1/IN2 and disconnect
the power path from IN1/IN2 to OUT. The supply current
will be reduced to comply with the USB specification for
Suspend mode. The BAT to OUT ideal diode function will
remain active as well as the ability to charge the battery
from OUT. Suspend mode will reset the charge timer if
VOUT is less than VBAT while in suspend mode. If VOUT is
kept greater than VBAT, such as when a wall adapter is
present, the charge timer will not be reset when the part is
put in suspend. A weak pull-down current is internally
applied to this pin to ensure it is low at power up when the
input is not being driven externally.
HPWR (Pin 8): High Power Select. Used to control the
amount of current drawn from the USB port. A logic HI on
the pin will set the current limit to 100% of the current
programmed by the CLPROG pin and 100% of the charge
current programmed by the PROG pin. A logic low on the
pin will set the current limit to 20% of the current programmed by the CLPROG pin and decrease battery charge
current to 16% of the current programmed by the CLPROG
pin. A weak pull-down current is internally applied to this
pin to ensure it is low at power up when the input is not
being driven externally.
CLPROG (Pin 9): Current Limit Program. Connecting a
resistor, RCLPROG to ground, programs the input to output
current limit. The current limit is programmed as follows:
ICL ( A) =
VCLPROG
50, 000 V
• 50, 000 =
RCLPROG
RCLPROG
In USB applications the resistor RCLPROG should be set to
no less than 105k.
GND (Pin 10): Ground.
PROG (Pin 11): Charge Current Program. Connecting a
resistor, RPROG, to ground programs the battery charge
current. The battery charge current is programmed as
follows:
ICHG( A) =
VPROG
50, 000 V
• 50, 000 =

TIMER (Pin 12): Timer Capacitor. Placing a capacitor
CTIMER to GND sets the timer period. The timer period is:
CTIMER • RPROG • 3 Hours
0.1µF • 100k
Charge time is increased as charge current is reduced due
to input voltage regulation, load current and current limit
selection (HPWR).
t TIMER(Hours) =
Shorting the TIMER pin to GND disables the battery
charging functions.
ACPR (Pin 13): Wall Adapter Present Output. Active low
open-drain output pin. A low on this pin indicates that the
wall adapter input comparator has had its input pulled
above the input threshold and power is present on IN1/IN2
or OUT (i.e., above UVLO threshold).
CHRG (Pin 14): 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 timer runs out
or the input supply or output supply is removed, the CHRG
pin is forced to a high impedance state.
VNTC (Pin 15): Output Bias Voltage for NTC. A resistor
from this pin to the NTC pin will set up the bias for an NTC
thermistor.
NTC (Pin 16): Input to the NTC Thermistor Monitoring
Circuits. Under normal operation, tie a thermistor from the
NTC pin to ground and a resistor of equal value from NTC
to VNTC. When the voltage on this pin is above 0.74 • VVNTC
(Cold, 0°C) or below 0.29 • VVNTC (Hot, 50°C) the timer is
suspended, but not cleared, the charging is disabled and
the CHRG pin remains in its former state. When the voltage
on NTC comes back between 0.74 • VVNTC and 0.29 •
VVNTC, the timer continues where it left off and charging is
re-enabled if the battery voltage is below the recharge
threshold. There is approximately 3°C of temperature
hysteresis associated with each of the input comparators.
If the NTC function is not to be used, connect the NTC to
ground. This will disable all of the LTC4055 NTC functions.
Exposed Pad (Pin 17): Ground. The Exposed Pad must be
soldered to a good thermally conductive PCB ground.

OPERATIO
The LTC4055 is a complete PowerPath controller for
battery-powered USB applications. The LTC4055 is designed to provide device power and Li-ion battery charging from the USB VBUS while maintaining the current limits
as specified in the USB specification. This is accomplished
by reducing battery charge current as output/load current
is increased. In this scenario, the available bus current is
maximized in an effort to minimize battery charge time.
Another advantage to powering the load from the bus
when the bus is available is in cases where the load is a
switching regulator. The input power to a switching regulator can be thought of as constant. A higher voltage
across a constant power load will require less current.
Less load current in USB applications means more available charge current. More charge current translates to
shorter charge times.
An ideal diode function provides power from the battery
when output/load current exceeds the input current limit
set for the part or when input power is removed. The
advantage to powering the load through the ideal diode
(rather than connecting the load directly to the battery) is
that when the bus is connected and the battery is fully
charged, the battery remains fully charged until bus power
is removed. Once bus power is removed the output drops
until the ideal diode is forward biased. The forward biased
ideal diode will then provide the output power to the load
from the battery.
The LTC4055 also has the ability to accommodate power
from a wall adapter. Wall adapter power can be connected
to the output (load side) of the LTC4055 through an
external device such as a power Schottky or FET, as shown
in Figure 1. The LTC4055 has the unique ability to use the
output, which is powered by the wall adapter, as an
alternate path to charge the battery while providing power
to the load. A wall adapter comparator on the LTC4055 can
be configured to detect the presence of the wall adapter
and shut off the connection to the USB to prevent reverse
conduction out to the bus.

USB CURRENT LIMIT AND CHARGE CURRENT
CONTROL
The current limit and charger control circuits of the LTC4055
are designed to limit input current as well as control
battery charge current as a function of IOUT. The programmed current limit, ICL is defined as:

 50, 000 V
ICL = 

The current limiting circuitry in the LTC4055 can and
should be configured to limit current to 500mA for USB
applications (selectable using the HPWR pin and programmed using the CLPROG pin).
When programmed for 500mA current limit and 500mA or
more of charging current, powered from IN1/IN2 and
battery charging is active, control circuitry within the

In USB applications, the minimum value for RCLPROG
should be 105k. This will prevent the application current
from exceeding 500mA due to LTC4055’s tolerances and

quiescent currents. This will give a typical current limit of
approximately 467mA in high power mode (HPWR = 1) or
92mA in low power mode (HPWR = 0).
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% metal film
resistors are recommended.
Battery Charger
The battery charger circuits of the LTC4055 are designed
for charging single cell lithium-ion batteries. Featuring an
internal P-channel power MOSFET, the charger uses a
constant-current/constant-voltage charge algorithm with
programmable current and a programmable timer for
charge termination. Charge current can be programmed
up to 1A. The final float voltage accuracy is ±0.8% typical.
No blocking diode or sense resistor is required when
charging through IN1/IN2. The CHRG open-drain status
output provides information regarding the charging status
of the LTC4055 at all times. An NTC input provides the
option of charge qualification using battery temperature.
An internal thermal limit reduces the programmed charge
current if the die temperature attempts to rise above a
preset value of approximately 105°C. This feature protects
the LTC4055 from excessive temperature, and allows the
user to push the limits of the power handling capability of
a given circuit board without risk of damaging the LTC4055.
Another benefit of the LTC4055 thermal limit is that charge
current can be set according to typical, not worst-case,
ambient temperatures for a given application with the
assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the
current in worst-case conditions.
An internal voltage regulation circuit, called undervoltage
current limit, UVCL, reduces the programmed charge
current to keep the voltage on VIN or VOUT at least 4.4V.
This feature prevents the charger from cycling in and out
of undervoltage lockout due to resistive drops in the USB
or wall adapter cabling.
The charge cycle begins when the voltage at the input
(IN1/IN2) rises above the input UVLO level and the battery
voltage is below the recharge threshold. No charge current
actually flows until the input voltage is greater than the
VUVCL level. At the beginning of the charge cycle, if the
battery voltage is below 2.8V, the charger goes into trickle
charge mode to bring the cell voltage up to a safe level for
charging. The charger goes into the fast charge constantcurrent mode once the voltage on the BAT pin rises above
2.8V. In constant current mode, the charge current is set
by RPROG. When the battery approaches the final float
voltage, the charge current begins to decrease as the
LTC4055 switches to constant-voltage mode.
An external capacitor on the TIMER pin sets the total
minimum charge time. When this time elapses the charge
cycle terminates and the CHRG pin assumes a high impedance state. While charging in constant-current mode, if the
charge current is decreased due to load current, undervoltage charge current limiting or thermal regulation the
charging time is automatically increased. In other words,
the charge time is extended inversely proportional to
charge current delivered to the battery. For lithium-ion and
similar batteries that require accurate final float potential,
the internal bandgap reference, voltage amplifier and the
resistor divider provide regulation with ±1% maximum
accuracy.
TRICKLE CHARGE AND DEFECTIVE BATTERY
DETECTION
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is
low (below 2.8V) the charger goes into trickle charge
reducing the charge current to 10% of the full-scale
current. If the low battery voltage persists for one quarter
of the total charge time, the battery is assumed to be
defective, the charge cycle is terminated and the CHRG pin
output assumes a high impedance state. If for any reason
the battery voltage rises above ~2.8V, the charge cycle will
be restarted. To restart the charge cycle (i.e., when the
dead battery is replaced with a discharged battery), simply
remove the input voltage and reapply it, cycle the TIMER
pin to 0V or cycle the SHDN pin to 0V.
PROGRAMMING CHARGE CURRENT
The formula for the battery charge current, when not being
limited, is:
ICHG = IPROG • 50, 000 =
VPROG
• 50, 000
RPROG
4055p
15
LTC4055

where VPROG is the PROG pin voltage and RPROG is the
total resistance from the PROG pin to ground.
For example, if typical 500mA charge current is required,
calculate:
RPROG =
1V
• 50, 000 = 100k
500mA
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% metal film
resistors are recommended. Under trickle charge conditions, this current is reduced to 10% of the full-scale value.
THE CHARGE TIMER
The programmable charge timer is used to terminate the
charge cycle. The timer duration is programmed by an
external capacitor at the TIMER pin and is also a function
of the resistance on PROG. Typically the charge time is:
C
•R
• 3 Hours
t TIMER(Hours) = TIMER PROG
0.1µF • 100k
The timer starts when an input voltage greater than the
undervoltage lockout threshold level is applied, or when
leaving shutdown and the voltage on the battery is less
than the recharge threshold. At power up or exiting shutdown with the battery voltage less than the recharge
threshold, the charge time is a full cycle. If the battery is
greater than the recharge threshold, the timer will not start
and charging is prevented. If after power-up the battery
voltage drops below the recharge threshold, or if after a
charge cycle the battery voltage is still below the recharge
threshold, the charge time is set to one half of a full cycle.
The LTC4055 has a feature that extends charge time
automatically. Charge time is extended if the charge current in constant-current mode is reduced due to load
current, undervoltage charge current limiting or thermal
regulation. This change in charge time is inversely proportional to the change in charge current. As the LTC4055
approaches constant-voltage mode the charge current
begins to drop. This change in charge current is part of the
normal charging operation of the part and should not
affect the timer duration. Therefore, the LTC4055 detects
that the change in charge current is due to voltage mode,
and increases the timer period back to its programmed
operating period.
Once a time-out occurs and the voltage on the battery is
greater than the recharge threshold, the charge current
stops, and the CHRG output assumes a high impedance
state to indicate that the charging has stopped.
Connecting the TIMER pin to ground disables the battery
charger.
CHRG STATUS OUTPUT PIN
When the charge cycle starts, the CHRG pin is pulled to
ground by an internal N-channel MOSFET capable of
driving an LED. After a time-out occurs, the pin assumes
a high impedance state.
NTC Thermistor
The battery temperature is measured by placing a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor close to the
battery pack. The NTC circuitry is shown in Figure 3. To use
this feature, connect the NTC thermistor, RNTC, between
the NTC pin and ground and a resistor, RNOM, from the
NTC pin to VNTC. RNOM should be a 1% resistor with a value
equal to the value of the chosen NTC thermistor at 25°C
(this value is 10k for a Vishay NTHS0603N02N1002J
thermistor). The LTC4055 goes into hold mode when the
resistance, RHOT, of the NTC thermistor drops to 0.41
times the value of RNOM or approximately 4.1k, which
should be at 50°C. The hold mode freezes the timer and
stops the charge cycle until the thermistor indicates a
return to a valid temperature. As the temperature drops,
the resistance of the NTC thermistor rises. The LTC4055
is designed to go into hold mode when the value of the NTC
thermistor increases to 2.82 times the value of RNOM. This
resistance is RCOLD. For a Vishay NTHS0603N02N1002J
thermistor, this value is 28.2k which corresponds to
approximately 0°C. The hot and cold comparators each
have approximately 3°C of hysteresis to prevent oscillation about the trip point. Grounding the NTC pin disables
the NTC function.

THERMISTORS
The LTC4055 NTC trip points were designed to work with
thermistors whose resistance-temperature characteristics
follow Vishay Dale’s “R-T Curve 2.” The Vishay
NTHS0603N02N1002J is an example of such a thermistor.
However, Vishay Dale has many thermistor products that
follow the “R-T Curve 2” characteristic in a variety of sizes.
Furthermore, any thermistor whose ratio of RCOLD to RHOT
is about 7.0 will also work (Vishay Dale R-T Curve 2 shows
a ratio of RCOLD to RHOT of 2.815/0.4086 = 6.89).
Power conscious designs may want to use thermistors
whose room temperature value is greater than 10k. Vishay
Dale has a number of values of thermistor from 10k to
100k that follow the “R-T Curve 1.” Using these as indicated in the NTC Thermistor section will give temperature
trip points of approximately 3°C and 47°C, a delta of 44°C.
This delta in temperature can be moved in either direction
by changing the value of RNOM with respect to RNTC.
Increasing RNOM will move both trip points to lower
temperatures. Likewise a decrease in RNOM with respect to
RNTC will move the trip points to higher temperatures. To
calculate RNOM for a shift to lower temperature for example, use the following equation:
RNOM =
RCOLD
• RNTC at 25°C
2.815
where RCOLD is the resistance ratio of RNTC at the desired
cold temperature trip point. If you want to shift the trip
points to higher temperatures use the following equation:
RNOM =
RHOT
• RNTC at 25°C
0.4086
where RHOT is the resistance ratio of RNTC at the desired
hot temperature trip point.
Here is an example using a 100k R-T Curve 1 thermistor
from Vishay Dale. The difference between the trip points is
44°C, from before, and we want the cold trip point to be
0°C, which would put the hot trip point at 44°C. The RNOM
needed is calculated as follows:
RCOLD

The nearest 1% value for RNOM is 115k. This is the value
used to bias the NTC thermistor to get cold and hot trip
points of approximately 0°C and 44°C respectively. To
extend the delta between the cold and hot trip points a
resistor, R1, can be added in series with RNTC (see
Figure␣ 3b). The values of the resistors are calculated as
follows:
RCOLD – RHOT
2.815 – 0.4086

where RNOM is the value of the bias resistor, RHOT and
RCOLD are the values of RNTC at the desired temperature
trip points. Continuing the example from before with a
desired hot trip point of 50°C:
RCOLD – RHOT 100k • (3.266 – 0.3602)

2.815 – 0.4086
2.815 – 0.4086

CHARGER UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Internal undervoltage lockout circuits monitor the VIN and
VOUT voltages and keep the charger circuits of the part
shut down until VIN or VOUT rises above the under-voltage
lockout threshold. The charger UVLO circuit has a built-in
hysteresis of 125mV. Furthermore, to protect against
reverse current in the power MOSFET, the charger UVLO
circuit keeps the charger shutdown if VBAT exceeds VOUT.
If the charger UVLO comparator is tripped, the charger
circuits will not come out of shutdown until VOUT exceeds
VBAT by 50mV.
SHUTDOWN
The LTC4055 can be shut down by forcing the SHDN pin
greater than 1V. In shutdown, the currents on IN1/IN2,
OUT and BAT are decreased to less than 2.5µA and the
internal battery charge timer is reset. All power paths are
put in a Hi-Z state.

CURRENT LIMIT UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the current limit circuits of the part in
shutdown mode until VIN rises above the undervoltage
lockout threshold. The current limit UVLO circuit has a
built-in hysteresis of 125mV. Furthermore, to protect
against reverse current in the power MOSFET, the current
limit UVLO circuit keeps the current limit shutdown if VOUT
exceeds VIN. If the current limit UVLO comparator is
tripped, the current limit circuits will not come out of
shutdown until VOUT falls 50mV below the VIN voltage.
The LTC4055 can be put in suspend mode by forcing the
SUSP pin greater than 1V. In suspend mode the ideal diode
function from BAT to OUT and the output charger are kept
alive. The rest of the part is shut down to conserve current
and the battery charge timer is reset if VOUT becomes less
than VBAT.
VIN and Wall Adaptor 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. For more information, refer to
Application Note 88.

OPERATIO
Selecting WALL Input Resistors
The WALL input pin identifies the presence of a wall
adaptor. This information is used to disconnect the inputs
IN1/IN2 from the OUT pin in order to prevent back conduction to whatever may be connected to the inputs. It also
forces the ACPR pin low when the voltage at the WALL pin
exceeds the input threshold. The WALL pin has a 1V rising
threshold and approximately 30mV of hysteresis.
It needs to be noted that this function is disabled when the
only power applied to the part is from the battery. Therefore the 1V threshold only applies when the voltage on
either IN1/IN2 or OUT is 100mV greater than the voltage
on BAT and the voltage on IN1/IN2 or OUT is greater than
the VUVLO (3.8V typ) threshold.
The wall adapter detection threshold is set by the following
equation:
 R1
VTH( Adapter ) = VWALL •  1 + 
 R2 
 R1
VHYST ( Adapter ) = VWALL−HYST •  1 + 
 R2 
where VTH(Adapter) is the wall adaptor detection threshold, VWALL is the WALL pin rising threshold (typically 1V),
R1 is the resistor from the wall adapter input to WALL and
R2 is the resistor from WALL to GND.
Consider an example where the VTH(Adapter) is to be set
somewhere around 4.5V. Resistance on the WALL pin
should be kept relatively low (~10k) in order to prevent false
tripping of the wall comparator due to leakages associated
with the switching element used to connect the adapter to
OUT. Pick R2 to be 10k and solve for R1.
 V ( Adapter ) 
R1 = R2 •  TH
− 1


VWALL
The nearest 1% resistor is 34.8k. Therefore R1 = 34.8k and
the rising trip point should be 4.48V.
 34.8 
VHYST ( Adapter ) ≈ 30mV •  1 +
 ≈ 134mV

10 
The hysteresis is going to be approximately 124mV for
this example.
Power Dissipation
The conditions that cause the LTC4055 to reduce charge
current due to the thermal protection feedback can be
approximated by considering the power dissipated in the
part. For high charge currents and a wall adapter applied
to VOUT, the LTC4055 power dissipation is approximately:
PD = (VOUT – VBAT) • IBAT
Where PD is the power dissipated, VOUT is the supply
voltage, VBAT is the battery voltage and IBAT is the battery
charge current. It is not necessary to perform any worstcase power dissipation scenarios because the LTC4055
will automatically reduce the charge current to maintain
the die temperature at approximately 105°C. However, the
approximate ambient temperature at which the thermal
feedback begins to protect the IC is:
TA = 105°C – PD • θJA
TA = 105°C – (VOUT – VBAT) • IBAT • θJA
Example: An LTC4055 operating from a wall adapter with
5V at VOUT providing 0.8A to a 3V Li-Ion battery. The
ambient temperature above, which the LTC4055 will begin
to reduce the 0.8A charge current, is approximately:
TA = 105°C – (5V – 3V) • 0.8A • 37°C/W
TA = 105°C – 1.6W • 37°C/W = 105°C – 59°C = 46°C

The LTC4055 can be used above 46°C, but the charge

charge current at a given ambient temperature can be

Consider the above example with an ambient temperature
of 55°C. The charge current will be reduced to approximately:
IBAT =
LTC4055 can deliver over 1A to a battery from a 5V supply
at room temperature. Without a backside thermal connection, this number could drop to less than 500mA.
105°C – 55°C

=
(5V – 3V) • 37°C / W 74°C /A
The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without any compensation when a battery is connected. However, a 1µF capacitor with a 1Ω series resistor to GND is
recommended at the BAT pin to keep ripple voltage low
when the battery is disconnected.
Ideal Diode from BAT to OUT
Board Layout Considerations
In order to be able to deliver maximum charge current
under all conditions, it is critical that the exposed pad on
the backside of the LTC4055 package is soldered to the
board. Correctly soldered to a 2500mm2 double-sided
1oz. copper board, the LTC4055 has a thermal resistance
of approximately 37°C/W. Failure to make thermal contact
between the exposed pad on the backside of the package
and the copper board will result in thermal resistances far
greater than 37°C/W. As an example, a correctly soldered
Forward regulation for the LTC4055 from BAT to OUT has
three operational ranges, depending on the magnitude of
the load current. For small load currents, the LTC4055 will
provide a constant voltage drop; this operating mode is
referred to as “constant VON” regulation. As the current
exceeds IFWD, the voltage drop will increase linearly with
the current with a slope of 1/RDIO,ON; this operating mode
is referred to as “constant RON” regulation. As the current
increases further, exceeding IMAX, the forward voltage
drop will increase rapidly; this operating mode is referred
to as “constant ION” regulation. The characteristics for the
following parameters: RFWD, RON, VFWD, and IFWD are
specified with the aid of Figure 4.

nominal current limit of 467mA in high power mode

limit supersedes the charge current programming and
charge current is limited to 467mA.

USB Hosting Application: The LTC4055’s IN1 and IN2

provide power to OUT, which in turn can provide power to
VBUS when commanded from the USB controller. The
ability to charge the battery is enabled when the wall
adapter is present.
In applications where the power is required to go back out
on to the USB VBUS the LTC4055 can be configured to turn
off its input power path, IN1 and IN2. Forcing the SUSP
