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.

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 begin.

U U U 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 = (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. The impedance is high at this pin, therefore, a high gain PNP pass transistor should be used. 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 adaptor) 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. 3 LTC1732-4/LTC1732-4.2 W BLOCK DIAGRA VCC 7 + 3.8V C5 – RSENSE SENSE + 2 + – 800Ω 80Ω C1 – CHRG 8 54mV + C4 – – C/10 STOP RECHRG C/10 + SHDN 3 TIMER 720Ω LOGIC DRV CA SLP OSCILLATOR BAT LBO COUNTER 1 C2 SEL VREF 2 – ACPR + + C3 – VA VCC A1 – + 10 6 + ACPR – 35µA 2.5µA VREF 2.457V CHARGE 5 BATTERY CURRENT IBAT = (2.457V • 800Ω)/(RPROG • RSENSE) PROG GND 4 1732 BD RPROG U 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 4 (VA) will start sinking current which shrinks the voltage drop across RSENSE, thus reducing the charge current. Charging begins when the potential at 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. LTC1732-4/LTC1732-4.2 U OPERATIO 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. continue for the remaining charge time. In the case when a time out has occurred, a new battery with the cell voltage of less than 3.8V can be inserted and charged automatically with the full programmed charge time. 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. 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 be turned into 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. 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. Replacing the battery while in the charge mode will cause the timer to be reset if the cell voltage of the new battery is below 3.8V. If the voltage is above 3.8V, the timer will The charger can be shut down by floating the PROG pin. 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. U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Stop Charging The charger is off when any of the following conditions exist: the voltage at the VCC pin is below 4.1V, the voltage at the VCC pin is higher than 4.1V but is less than 54mV above VBAT, or the PROG pin is floating. The DRV pin will be pulled to VCC and the internal resistor divider is disconnected to reduce the current 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 built-in 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 = (IPROG)(800Ω/RSENSE) = (2.457V/RPROG)(800Ω/RSENSE) where RPROG is the total resistance from the PROG pin to ground. 5 LTC1732-4/LTC1732-4.2 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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: 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 charging. 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 only disable the timer function, short the TIMER pin to GND. 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. After a time-out occurs, the pin will go into a high impedance state. By using two different value pullup resistors, a microprocessor can detect three states from this pin (charging, C/10 and stop charging). See Figure 1. V+ VDD 400k LTC1732 CHRG 3 µPROCESSOR 1k OUT IN 1732 F01 Figure 1. Microprocessor Interface 6 ACPR Output Pin The LTC1732 has an ACPR output pin to indicate that the input supply (wall adapter) is higher than 4.1V and 55mV 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) The LTC1732 includes a comparator to monitor the charge current to detect an end-of-charge condition. 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. After an internal time delay of 15ms, this state is then latched. This delay will help prevent false triggering due to transient currents. The end-of-charge comparator is disabled in trickle charge mode. Output Voltage Selection 8 VCC When the LTC1732 is in charge mode, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an internal N-channel MOSFET. To detect this mode, force the digital output pin, OUT, high and measure the voltage at the CHRG pin. The N-channel MOSFET will pull the pin low even with a 1k 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 1k pull-up. By forcing the OUT pin into a high impedance state, the current source will pull the pin low through the 400k resistor. When the internal timer has expired, the CHRG pin will change to high impedance state and the 400k resistor will then pull the pin high to indicate the charging has stopped. 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. 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. When LTC1732-4/LTC1732-4.2 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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). 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 current gain of the current amplifier (CA), a high gain Darlington PNP transistor is required to avoid excessive charge current error. The gain of the current amplifier is around 0.6µA/ mV. For every 1µA of base current, a 1.6mV of gain error shows up at the inputs of CA. With RPROG = 19.6k (100mV across RSENSE), it represents 1.67% of error in charging current. Constant-Current Only Mode 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 is required to properly terminate the charge. Battery Detection The LTC1732 can detect the insertion of a new battery. When a battery with cell voltage of less than 3.8V is inserted, the LTC1732 resets the timer and starts the charging cycle immediately. If the cell voltage of the new battery is above 3.8V, the charging will not start. If a new battery (with cell voltage above 3.8V) is inserted while in the charging process, the timer will not be reset. It will continue until the timer runs out. After a time out has occurred and the battery remains connected, a new charge cycle will begin if the battery voltage drops below 3.8V (LTC1732-4) or 4.05V (LTC17324.2) due to self-discharge or external loading. Stability The charger is stable without any compensation when a P-channel MOSFET is used as the pass transistor. However, a 10µF capacitor is recommended at the BAT pin to keep the ripple voltage low when the battery is disconnected. If a PNP transistor is used for the pass transistor, a 1000pF capacitor is required from the DRV pin to VCC. This capacitor is needed to help stablize the voltage loop. A 10µF capacitor at the BAT pin is also recommended when a battery is not present.
