PIN FUNCTIONS
OVP (Pin 1): Output from an Internal Precision Resistor
Divider Used as a Voltage Feedback Monitor for ConstantVoltage Mode Charging.
BAT (Pin 2): Input to Battery Monitor Circuits and OVP
Resistor Divider. The battery monitor circuits activate
trickle charge preconditioning, battery present detection
and C/10 current detection. This pin is in a high impedance
state when VCC is below the undervoltage lockout threshold. During trickle charge preconditioning and charging
the BAT pin sources 16mA and 1.3mA respectively. The
current sources are clamped from driving the BAT pin
above 4.5V/cell with an internal pull-down transistor.
In the No Bat, Done and Pause states or the Hold and Reset
modes, the current sources are turned off, leaving only the
55k OVP divider as a load on the BAT pin. Most chargers
have a 200µA current source that will compensate for this
50µA to 80µA load.
SENSE (Pin 3): Input to C/10 Current Detection Circuit.
This pin sinks 100µA during the Charge state which is used
to program the C/10 current threshold.
GND (Pin 4): Ground.
NTC (Pin 5): Input to the NTC Thermistor Monitoring
Circuits. When the voltage on this pin is above 2.79V
(cold) or below 0.405V (hot), the state machine is locked
in the present state and the timer is stopped. This is called
the Hold mode. While in the Hold mode, the charger is
turned off via the VC pin and the current sources on BAT
and SENSE pins are turned off. The STATUS pin is not
affected.
4
If the NTC pin is below 0.2V, the state machine is forced
in the reset mode with all the timers cleared to zero. The
current sources on the BAT pin and SENSE pin are
disabled leaving the 55k OVP divider. The STATUS pin is
pulled low in the Reset mode.
There is a 100µA current source on the NTC pin to bias the
NTC thermistor. This current source is active while the VCC
is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold.
STATUS (Pin 6): Open-Drain Output for C/10 Charge
Termination Detection Circuit. When in the Charge state,
this pin is pulled low. Once the charge current drops below
the C/10 current threshold for three seconds, the pulldown transistor is disabled, and a 50µA pull-down current
sink remains activated until the 1- or 3-hour time-out or
the battery or wall adapter is removed.
VC (Pin 7): Open-Drain Output for turning off the charger.
When this pin is open circuit, the charger is active.
Normally this pin allows the charger to be active for three
hours.
VCC (Pin 8): Input Supply. For 4.1V or 4.2V single cell
operation, VCC should be between 8V and 28V with the IC
turning off when VCC drops below 6V. For 2-cell applications, the undervoltage lockout is 10.4V with a minimum
VCC of 12V. Removing the wall adapter will trigger an
undervoltage lockout and put the part in a high impedance
condition. When the supply is connected, the part is
initialized in the Reset mode with the state machine forced
in the Charge state with all the timers set to zero.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overview
The LTC1729 is a charge termination controller for the
LT1505/LT1510/LT1511/LT1512/LT1513/LT1769 constant-voltage/constant-current battery charger family.
Table 1 details these chargers. The primary function of this
IC is to stop the charger after three hours of constantvoltage/constant-current charging. The secondary function of this controller includes an indication when the
charge current (during constant-voltage mode) drops
below a user-selected threshold. A 500kHz Li-Ion cell
phone charger is shown in Figure 1. The LTC1729 only
needs six external components when combined with the
standard LT1510 application. The LTC1729 provides a
complete and tiny solution for cellular phones and other
portable applications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Block Diagram
Figure 2 shows the block diagram of the LTC1729. The IC
consists of six comparators, a resistive divider, a UVLO
block and a logic and timer block.
The comparator COMP1 is used to indicate C/10 charge
current threshold. (“C” is a term used to indicate the
Ampere-hour capacity of a cell.) Figure 3 details the C/10
detection circuit. The resistor and capacitor on the SENSE
pin filter the signal from the 0.2Ω current sense resistor
R1. The 100µA current sink on the SENSE pin develops
20mV across the 200Ω resistor R2. This sets a 20mV
offset on COMP1 that sense resistor R1 must equal before
C/10 current is indicated. The C/10 is not recognized by the
logic until it passes through a 3-second digital filter.
For cases where there are multiple batteries to be charged,
the LTC1729 detects when a battery is removed and resets
the timers for the next charge cycle. The battery present
detection is the primary function of comparator COMP2.
When the battery is disconnected from the LTC1729, the
voltage at the BAT pin will begin ramping upward. This is
due to a current source inside the charger or an external
pull-up resistor. Once the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds
the 4.5V/cell limit, COMP2 signals a VMAX = true to the
logic and turns on a transistor that clamps the voltage.
There is the possibility of an overvoltage transient at the
charging terminals. This occurs if the battery protection
circuit, which is often included in the battery pack, opens
the connection to the battery during high current charging
(constant-current mode). This is a result of energy storage
in the inductor. COMP2 senses the overvoltage and clamps
the VC pin, reducing the duty cycle of the charger. If the
battery protection circuit quickly returns battery connection to the charger (in less than one second), then the
LTC1729 continues charging without resetting the timers.
For a battery that has been over-discharged, the LTC1729
provides a 16mA start-up current. This preconditioning
trickle charge begins when the battery voltage drops
below 2.7V/cell. Comparator COMP3 is used to determine
when this condition exists. The battery operating range is
summarized in Figure 4.
With a 10k negative TC thermistor connected to the NTC
pin, the LTC1729 will disable charging if the temperature
is not in the 0°C to 50°C range. A thermistor must be
present at this pin, or if the temperature qualification
feature is not used, a 10k resistor must be used in its place.
This pin should not be left open. The NTC thermistor
monitoring circuits consist of COMP4, COMP5 and COMP6.
The NTC pin voltage range is shown in Figure 5.
Comparators COMP4 and COMP5 signal the logic when
the temperature is below 0°C or above 50°C. The 100µA
bias current through the 10kΩ thermistor will generate
2.79V at 0°C and 0.405V at 50°C. The voltage hysteresis
on COMP4 and COMP5 is designed to give 10°C of
temperature hysteresis. If the voltage on the NTC pin
drops below 0.2V, the comparator COMP6 generates a
reset to the logic and timer block.
To provide accurate charge voltages, the internal resistor
divider is trimmed to provide a precise ±0.2% voltage of
2.465V at the OVP pin for the four battery voltage options
of 4.1V, 4.2V, 8.2V and 8.4V.

Figure 5. NTC Voltage Operating Range
When the input supply is removed in step-down charger
designs, the VCC pin does not drop to 0V, but is held to a
diode drop below the battery voltage. This is due to the
internal parasitic diode from the SW pin to the VCC pin that
is present in the LT1510, LT1511, LT1769, and the body
diode of the top MOSFET in the LT1505 charger. Removing
the input supply will result in the VCC pin dropping below
the UVLO threshold, thus shutting down the LTC1729 and
minimizing battery drain. Once the input supply is connected, the LTC1729 resets the timers and begins another
charge cycle. There is a disconnect transistor that will
remove the OVP resistor divider from the battery when the
VCC voltage drops below the UVLO threshold.
Figure 6. State Diagram
The logic and timer block consists of a state machine,
oscillator and counter. The state machine will be discussed in detail in the next section. The oscillator is
internally trimmed to 131kHz. The counter is composed of
a chain of 25 flip-flops that includes self-test circuitry.
State Machine
The state machine is responsible for the following items:
1. When to start and stop the charger. The internal timer
must be initialized every time a new battery is installed

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3. When a heavily discharged battery is installed, trickle
charge conditioning must take place before the full
charge current.
requirement for this transition is for the BAT pin voltage to
exceed VMAX for more than one second. The IC now
assumes that the battery has been removed.
The state machine diagram is shown in Figure 6. Note that
the Charge state includes the Precondition state, the
charger “ON” state and the Reset mode.
From the No Bat state, there is only one possible transition.
The No Bat state can move to the Charge state if the voltage
on the BAT pin remains less than VMAX for one second. The
LTC1729 will now work on the assumption that a new
battery has been installed.
Reset and Hold are the two modes that will cause the
charger to stop charging (VC pin pulled low) and ignore the
state machine. The Reset mode clears all the timers and
forces the state machine to begin in the Charge state
(STATUS pin pulled low). This mode is only activated
momentarily at power-up or when the NTC pin is below the
Reset threshold. The other interrupt condition is called the
Hold mode. When the voltage on the NTC pin is above
2.79V (cold) or below 0.405V (hot), the state machine is
locked in the present state until the NTC pin voltage returns
to the proper range. While in the Hold mode, the charging
is disabled and the timers are frozen.
The charger is enabled only during the charger “ON” state.
There are three ways that the state machine can exit the
charger “ON” state. The first is for a 3-hour time-out which
is denoted as the time > tMAX transition to the Done state.
Second, if the battery is removed from the charger, the
VMAX signal is activated as mentioned in the Block Diagram section. This causes the state machine to make the
VBAT > VMAX transition to the Pause state. The third way to
exit the charger “ON” state is with a VBAT < VMIN transition
to the Precondition state. The battery will need to drop
below 2.6V/cell to be less than VMIN. This is not a likely
scenario.
Once in the Pause state, there are two ways to proceed.
The first is to go to the No Bat state. This requires that the
VBAT remain greater than VMAX for more than one
second. From these conditions, the LTC1729 interprets
that a battery has been removed. If the voltage on the BAT
pin stays less than VMAX for more than one second, then
the state machine returns to the Charge state (Precondition and charger “ON”). This is interpreted as a momentary
open caused by the battery pack protection circuitry or
loose contact.
The Done state can only proceed to the No Bat state. From
outside the LTC1729 this transition is undetectable. The
8
Although the Precondition and Charger “ON” both reside
in the Charge state, there are differences between these
states. The main purpose of the Precondition state is to
slowly bring a heavily discharged battery up to a minimum
level before full charge current begins. The Precondition
state uses a 16mA current source to trickle charge the
battery with a 1-hour time-out transition to the Done state.
The Charger “ON” state enables the external charger and
the time-out is increased to three hours. For the entire
time in the Precondition state, the STATUS pin uses a hard
pull-down. In the Charger “ON” state the STATUS pin uses
two types of pull-down: hard pull-down and soft 50µA
pull-down.
The STATUS pin is designed to provide an indication that
the battery is charging. Once the current drops below the
C/10 threshold, the battery is close to being fully charged.
The LTC1729 turns off the hard pull-down once the
C/10 comparator is active for more than three seconds.
The 50µA soft pull down remains in effect until the 3-hour
time-out is completed or the input power is removed.
Terminate at C/10 Current
Charging can also be terminated using C/10 detection
rather than the 3-hour time-out. By connecting the low
side of the NTC thermistor to the STATUS pin instead of
ground, the NTC pin will float to 5V as soon as the Status
pull-down is open. This will force the state machine into
the Hold mode. The VC pin is pulled low which turns off the
charger. This circuit is shown in Figure 7.
In order to restart the charging process for a new battery,
the NTC pin will need to be momentarily brought below
0.2V or the VCC pin brought below the UVLO threshold.
The automatic battery detection features are disabled
during the Hold mode.

By reducing the LTC1729 SENSE pin resistor to 0Ω, the
STATUS pin function can be changed to a charging indicator (Figure 8). The LED on the STATUS pin will always go
off after the 3-hour charge cycle is completed, regardless
of the C/10 circuitry.

In many applications circuits shown in this data sheet, the
STATUS pin is used to indicate when C/10 has occurred
(charge current has dropped to 10% of the full charge
current). This C/10 number is not fixed, but is set by an
external resistor connected to the LTC1729 SENSE pin. A
100µA bias current through this resistor develops a voltage which is compared with the voltage across the charge
current sense resistor. When these voltages are equal, the
