The LTC4080X is a complete constant-current/constantvoltage linear battery charger for a single-cell 4.2V
lithium-ion/polymer battery with an integrated 300mA
synchronous buck converter. A 3mm × 3mm DFN package
and low external component count make the LTC4080X
especially suitable for portable applications. Furthermore,
the LTC4080X is specifically designed to work within USB
power specifications.
■
The ⎯ C⎯ H⎯ R⎯G pin indicates when charge current has
dropped to ten percent of its programmed value (C/10).
An internal 4.5 hour timer terminates the charge cycle.
The full-featured LTC4080X battery charger also includes
automatic recharge and soft-start to limit inrush current.
If trickle charging is desired, please see the LTC4080
datasheet.
The LTC4080X integrates a synchronous buck converter
that is powered from the BAT pin. It has an adjustable
output voltage and can deliver up to 300mA of load current. The buck converter also features low-current highefficiency Burst Mode operation that can be selected by
the MODE pin.

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 LTC4080X is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.

Note 4: Although the LTC4080X charger functions properly at 3.75V, full
charge current requires an input voltage greater than the desired final
battery voltage per ΔVUVCL1 specification.
Note 5: The 2.8V maximum buck undervoltage lockout (VUVLO_BUCK) exit
threshold must first be exceeded before the minimum VBAT specification
applies.
Note 6: IC/10 is expressed as a fraction of measured full charge current
with indicated PROG resistor.

BAT (Pin 1): Charge Current Output and Buck Regulator
Input. Provides charge current to the battery and regulates
the final float voltage to 4.2V. An internal precision resistor
divider from this pin sets the float voltage and is disconnected
in charger shutdown mode. This pin must be decoupled
with a low ESR capacitor for low-noise buck operation.
VCC (Pin 2): Positive Input Supply Voltage. This pin provides
power to the battery charger. VCC can range from 3.75V
to 5.5V. This pin should be bypassed with at least a 1µF
capacitor. When VCC is less than 32mV above the BAT pin
voltage, the battery charger enters shutdown mode.

Pulling this pin above the manual shutdown threshold (VIH)

the LTC4080X has less than 10µA supply current and less
than 5µA battery drain current provided the regulator is
not running. Enable is the default state, but the pin should
be tied to GND if unused.
PROG (Pin 4): Charge Current Program and Charge Current Monitor Pin. Connecting a 1% resistor, RPROG, to

internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge current drops
to 10% of the full-scale current, the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin is forced to
a high impedance state. When the battery voltage remains
below 2.9V for one quarter of the full charge time, the
battery is considered defective, and the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin pulses
at a frequency of 2Hz with 75% duty cycle.

LTC4080X
U
OPERATIO
The LTC4080X is a full-featured linear battery charger
with an integrated synchronous buck converter designed
primarily for handheld applications. The battery charger
is capable of charging single-cell 4.2V Li-Ion batteries.
The buck converter is powered from the BAT pin and has
a programmable output voltage providing a maximum load
current of 300mA. The converter and the battery charger
can run simultaneously or independently of each other.
BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION
Featuring an internal P-channel power MOSFET, MP1, the
battery charger uses a constant-current/constant-voltage
charge algorithm with programmable current. Charge
current can be programmed up to 500mA with a final
float voltage of 4.2V ±0.5%. The ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G open-drain status
output indicates when C/10 has been reached. No blocking
diode or external sense resistor is required; thus, the basic
charger circuit requires only two external components. The
⎯A⎯C⎯P⎯R open-drain output indicates if the VCC input voltage,
and the difference between VCC and BAT, are sufficient for
charging. An internal charge termination timer adheres to
battery manufacturer safety guidelines. Furthermore, the
LTC4080X battery charger is capable of operating from a
USB power source.
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin
rises above 3.6V and approximately 82mV above the BAT
pin voltage, a 1% program resistor is connected from the
PROG pin to ground, and the ⎯E⎯N⎯_⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin is pulled below
the shutdown threshold (VIL).
When the BAT pin approaches the final float voltage of
4.2V, the battery charger enters constant-voltage mode
and the charge current begins to decrease. When the
current drops to 10% of the full-scale charge current, an
internal comparator turns off the N-channel MOSFET driving
the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin, and the pin becomes high impedance.
An internal thermal limit reduces the programmed charge
current if the die temperature attempts to rise above a
preset value of approximately 115°C. This feature protects
the LTC4080X from excessive temperature and allows the
user to push the limits of the power handling capability
of a given circuit board without the risk of damaging the
LTC4080X or external components. Another benefit of the
thermal limit is that charge current can be set according
to typical, rather than worst-case, ambient temperatures
for a given application with the assurance that the battery
charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case
conditions.
An internal timer sets the total charge time, tTIMER (typically 4.5 hours). When this time elapses, the charge cycle
terminates and the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin assumes a high impedance
state even if C/10 has not yet been reached. To restart
the charge cycle, remove the input voltage and reapply
it or momentarily force the ⎯E⎯N⎯_⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin above VIH. A
new charge cycle will automatically restart if the BAT pin
voltage falls below VRECHRG (typically 4.1V).
Constant-Current / Constant-Voltage /
Constant-Temperature
The LTC4080X battery charger uses a unique architecture
to charge a battery in a constant-current, constant-voltage and constant-temperature fashion. Figure 1 shows a
Simplified Block Diagram of the LTC4080X. Three of the
amplifier feedback loops shown control the constant-current, CA, constant-voltage, VA, and constant-temperature,
TA modes. A fourth amplifier feedback loop, MA, is used to
increase the output impedance of the current source pair,
MP1 and MP3 (note that MP1 is the internal P-channel
power MOSFET). It ensures that the drain current of MP1
is exactly 400 times the drain current of MP3.
Amplifiers CA and VA are used in separate feedback loops
to force the charger into constant-current or constantvoltage mode, respectively. Diodes D1 and D2 provide
priority to either the constant-current or constant-voltage
loop, whichever is trying to reduce the charge current the
most. The output of the other amplifier saturates low which
effectively removes its loop from the system. When in
constant-current mode, CA servos the voltage at the PROG
pin to be precisely 1V. VA servos its non-inverting input
to 1.22V when in constant-voltage mode and the internal
resistor divider made up of R1 and R2 ensures that the
battery voltage is maintained at 4.2V. The PROG pin voltage gives an indication of the charge current anytime in
the charge cycle, as discussed in “Programming Charge
Current” in the Applications Information section.
4080Xf

LTC4080X
U
OPERATIO
If the die temperature starts to creep up above 115°C
due to internal power dissipation, the transconductance
amplifier, TA, limits the die temperature to approximately
115°C by reducing the charge current. Diode D3 ensures
that TA does not affect the charge current when the die
temperature is below 115°C. In thermal regulation, the
PROG pin voltage continues to give an indication of the
charge current.
In typical operation, the charge cycle begins in constantcurrent mode with the current delivered to the battery equal
to 400V/RPROG. If the power dissipation of the LTC4080X
results in the junction temperature approaching 115°C, the
amplifier (TA) will begin decreasing the charge current to
limit the die temperature to approximately 115°C. As the
battery voltage rises, the LTC4080X either returns to full
constant-current mode or enters constant-voltage mode
straight from constant-temperature mode.
Battery Charger Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the VCC
input voltage and keeps the battery charger off until VCC
rises above 3.6V and approximately 82mV above the BAT
pin voltage. The 3.6V UVLO circuit has a built-in hysteresis
of approximately 0.6V, and the 82mV automatic shutdown
threshold has a built-in hysteresis of approximately 50mV.
During undervoltage lockout conditions, maximum battery
drain current is 5µA and maximum supply current is 10µA.
be restarted. To restart the charge cycle (i.e., when the
dead battery is replaced with a discharged battery less
than 2.9V), the charger must be reset by removing the
input voltage and reapplying it or temporarily pulling the
⎯E⎯N⎯_⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin above the shutdown threshold.
Battery Charger Shutdown Mode
The LTC4080X’s battery charger can be disabled by pulling
the ⎯E⎯N⎯_⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin above the shutdown threshold (VIH).
In shutdown mode, the battery drain current is reduced
to about 2µA and the VCC supply current to about 5µA
provided the regulator is off. When the input voltage is
not present, the battery charger is in shutdown and the
battery drain current is less than 5µA.
Power Supply Status Indicator (⎯A⎯C⎯P⎯R)
The power supply status output has two states: pulldown
and high impedance. The pulldown state indicates that VCC
is above the undervoltage lockout threshold and at least
82mV above the BAT voltage (see Undervoltage Lockout).
When these conditions are not met, the ⎯A⎯C⎯P⎯R pin is high
impedance indicating that the LTC4080X is unable to
charge the battery.
⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G Status Output Pin
The battery charger in the LTC4080X includes undervoltage
charge current limiting that prevents full charge current
until the input supply voltage reaches approximately 300mV
above the battery voltage (ΔVUVCL1). This feature is particularly useful if the LTC4080X is powered from a supply with
long leads (or any relatively high output impedance). See
Applications Information section for further details.
The charge status indicator pin has three states: pulldown,
pulsing at 2Hz (see Defective Battery Detection) and high
impedance. The pulldown state indicates that the battery
charger is in a charge cycle. A high impedance state indicates that the charge current has dropped below 10% of
the full-scale current or the battery charger is disabled.
When the timer runs out (4.5 hrs), the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G pin is also
forced to the high impedance state. If the battery charger
is not in constant-voltage mode when the charge current
is forced to drop below 10% of the full-scale current by
UVCL, ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G will stay in the strong pulldown state.
Defective Battery Detection
Charge Current Soft-Start
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery voltage
is below 2.9V for one quarter of the total charge time
(1.125 hr), the battery is assumed to be defective, the
charge cycle terminates and the ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G output pulses at a
frequency of 2Hz with a 75% duty cycle. If, for any reason,
the battery voltage rises above 2.9V, the charge cycle will
The LTC4080X’s battery charger includes a soft-start circuit
to minimize the inrush current at the start of a charge cycle.
When a charge cycle is initiated, the charge current ramps
from zero to full-scale current over a period of approximately 180µs. This has the effect of minimizing the transient
current load on the power supply during start-up.

Timer and Recharge
The LTC4080X’s battery charger has an internal charge
termination timer that starts when the input voltage is
greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold and at
least 82mV above BAT, and the battery charger is leaving
shutdown.
At power-up or when exiting shutdown, the charge time
is set to 4.5 hours. Once the charge cycle terminates, the
battery charger continuously monitors the BAT pin voltage
using a comparator with a 2ms filter time. When the average battery voltage falls below 4.1V (which corresponds
to 80%-90% battery capacity), a new charge cycle is initiated and a 2.25 hour timer begins. This ensures that the
battery is kept at, or near, a fully charged condition and
eliminates the need for periodic charge cycle initiations.
The ⎯C⎯H⎯R⎯G output assumes a strong pulldown state during recharge cycles until C/10 is reached or the recharge
cycle terminates.
SWITCHING REGULATOR OPERATION:
The switching buck regulator in the LTC4080X can be turned
on by pulling the EN_BUCK pin above VIH. It has two userselectable modes of operation: constant-frequency (PWM)
mode and Burst Mode Operation. The constant-frequency
mode operation offers low noise at the expense of efficiency
whereas the Burst Mode operation offers higher efficiency
at light loads at the cost of increased noise, higher output
voltage ripple, and less output current. A detailed description of different operating modes and different aspects of
operation follow. Operations can best be understood by
referring to the Block Diagram.
Constant-Frequency (PWM) Mode Operation
The switching regulator operates in constant-frequency
(PWM) mode when the MODE pin is pulled below VIL . In
this mode, it uses a current mode architecture including
an oscillator, an error amplifier, and a PWM comparator
for excellent line and load regulation. The main switch
MP2 (P-channel MOSFET) turns on to charge the inductor
at the beginning of each clock cycle if the FB pin voltage
is less than the 0.8V reference voltage. The current into
the inductor (and the load) increases until it reaches the
peak current demanded by the error amp. At this point,
the main switch turns off and the synchronous switch
MN1 (N-channel MOSFET) turns on allowing the inductor
current to flow from ground to the load until either the
next clock cycle begins or the current reduces to the zero
current (IZERO) level.
Oscillator: In constant-frequency mode, the switching
regulator uses a dedicated oscillator which runs at a
fixed frequency of 2.25MHz. This frequency is chosen to
minimize possible interference with the AM radio band.
Error Amplifier: The error amplifier is an internally compensated transconductance (gm) amplifier with a gm
of 65 µmhos. The internal 0.8V reference voltage is
compared to the voltage at the FB pin to generate a
current signal at the output of the error amplifier. This current signal represents the peak inductor current required
to achieve regulation.
PWM Comparator: Lossless current sensing converts
the PMOS switch current signal to a voltage which is
summed with the internal slope compensation signal.
The PWM comparator compares this summed signal to
determine when to turn off the main switch. The switch
current sensing is blanked for ~12ns at the beginning of
each clock cycle to prevent false switch turn-off.
Burst Mode Operation
Burst Mode operation can be selected by pulling the
MODE pin above VIH. In this mode, the internal oscillator is disabled, the error amplifier is converted into a
comparator monitoring the FB voltage, and the inductor
current swings between a fixed IPEAK (~100mA) and IZERO
(35mA) irrespective of the load current as long as the FB
pin voltage is less than or equal to the reference voltage
of 0.8V. Once VFB is greater than 0.8V, the control logic
shuts off both switches along with most of the circuitry
and the regulator is said to enter into SLEEP mode. In
SLEEP mode, the regulator only draws about 20µA from
the BAT pin provided that the battery charger is turned
off. When the output voltage droops about 1% from its
nominal value, the regulator wakes up and the inductor
current resumes swinging between IPEAK and IZERO. The
output capacitor recharges and causes the regulator to
re-enter the SLEEP state if the output load remains light
4080Xf

LTC4080X

OPERATIO
enough. The frequency of this intermittent burst operation
depends on the load current. That is, as the load current
drops further, the regulator turns on less frequently. Thus
Burst Mode operation increases the efficiency at light loads
by minimizing the switching and quiescent losses. However,
the output voltage ripple increases to about 2%.
However, in Burst Mode operation, IZERO is set to positive
35mA meaning that the synchronous switch is turned off
as soon as the current through the inductor to the output
decreases to 35mA in the discharge cycle. This preserves
the charge on the output capacitor and increases the overall
efficiency at light loads.
To minimize ripple in the output voltage, the current limits
for both switches in Burst Mode operation are reduced
to about 20% of their values in the constant-frequency
mode. Also the zero current of the synchronous switch
is changed to about 35mA thereby preventing reverse
conduction through the inductor. Consequently, the regulator can only deliver approximately 67mA of load current
while in Burst Mode operation. Any attempt to draw more
load current will cause the output voltage to drop out of
regulation.
Soft-Start
Current Limit
To prevent inductor current runaway, there are absolute
current limits (ILIM) on both the PMOS main switch and
the NMOS synchronous switch. These limits are internally
set at 520mA and 700mA respectively for PWM mode. If
the peak inductor current demanded by the error amplifier
ever exceeds the PMOS ILIM, the error amplifier will be
ignored and the inductor current will be limited to PMOS
ILIM. In Burst Mode operation, the PMOS current limit is
reduced to 100mA to minimize output voltage ripple.
Zero Current Comparator
The zero or reverse current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous
rectifier when this current reduces to a predetermined
value (IZERO). In fixed frequency mode, this is set to negative 15mA meaning that the regulator allows the inductor
current to flow in the reverse direction (from the output to
ground through the synchronous rectifier) to a maximum
value of 15mA. This is done to ensure that the regulator
is able to regulate at very light loads without skipping any
cycles thereby keeping output voltage ripple and noise low
at the cost of efficiency.
The LTC4080X switching regulator provides soft-start in
both modes of operation by slowly charging an internal
capacitor. The voltage on this capacitor, in turn, slowly
ramps the current limits of both switches from a low value
to their respective maximum values over a period of about
400µs. The soft-start capacitor is discharged completely
whenever the regulator is disabled.
Short-Circuit Protection
In the event of a short circuit at the output or during
start-up, VOUT will be near zero volts. Since the downward
slope of the inductor current is ~VOUT/L, the inductor
current may not get a chance to discharge enough to
avoid a runaway situation. Because the current sensing
is blanked for ~12ns at the beginning of each clock cycle,
inductor current can build up to a dangerously high level
over a number of cycles even if there is a hard current
limit on the main PMOS switch. This is why the switching
regulator in the LTC4080X also monitors current through
the synchronous NMOS switch and imposes a hard limit
on it. If the inductor current through the NMOS switch at
the end of a discharge cycle is not below this limit, the
regulator skips the next charging cycle thereby preventing
inductor current runaway.
Switching Regulator Undervoltage Lockout
Whenever VBAT is less than 2.7V, an undervoltage lockout circuit keeps the regulator off, preventing unreliable
operation. However, if the regulator is already running
and the battery voltage is dropping, the undervoltage
comparator does not shut down the regulator until VBAT
drops below 2.5V.

Dropout Operation
Global Thermal Shutdown
When the BAT pin voltage approaches VOUT, the duty cycle
of the switching regulator approaches 100%. When VBAT
is approximately equal to VOUT, the regulator is said to be
in dropout. In dropout, the main switch (MP2) stays on
continuously with the output voltage being equal to the
battery voltage minus the voltage drops across the main
switch and the inductor.
The LTC4080X includes a global thermal shutdown which
shuts off the entire device (battery charger and switching regulator) if the die temperature exceeds 160°C. The
LTC4080X resumes normal operation once the temperature
drops approximately 14°C.

The battery charge current is programmed using a single

The charge current out of the BAT pin can be determined
at any time by monitoring the PROG pin voltage and using
the following equation:

Stability Considerations
The LTC4080X battery charger contains two control loops:
constant-voltage and constant-current. The constantvoltage loop is stable without any compensation when a
battery is connected with low impedance leads. Excessive
lead length, however, may add enough series inductance
to require a bypass capacitor of at least 1µF from BAT to
GND. Furthermore, a 4.7µF capacitor with a 0.2Ω to 1Ω
series resistor from BAT to GND is required to keep ripple
voltage low when the battery is disconnected.
In constant-current mode, the PROG pin voltage is in
the feedback loop, not the battery voltage. Because of
the additional pole created by PROG pin capacitance,
capacitance on this pin must be kept to a minimum. With
no additional capacitance on the PROG pin, the battery
charger is stable with program resistor values as high
as 25k. However, additional capacitance on this node
reduces the maximum allowed program resistor. The pole
frequency at the PROG pin should be kept above 100kHz.
Therefore, if the PROG pin is loaded with a capacitance,
CPROG, the following equation should be used to calculate
the maximum resistance value for RPROG:
RPROG ≤
1
2π • 100kHz • CPROG
Average, rather than instantaneous, battery current may be
of interest to the user. For example, when the switching
regulator operating in low-current mode is connected in
parallel with the battery, the average current being pulled
out of the BAT pin is typically of more interest than the
instantaneous current pulses. In such a case, a simple RC
filter can be used on the PROG pin to measure the average
battery current as shown in Figure 2. A 10k resistor has
been added between the PROG pin and the filter capacitor
to ensure stability.

Undervoltage Charge Current Limiting (UVCL)
USB powered systems tend to have highly variable source
impedances (due primarily to cable quality and length). A
transient load combined with such impedance can easily trip
the UVLO threshold and turn the battery charger off unless
undervoltage charge current limiting is implemented.
Consider a situation where the LTC4080X is operating under
normal conditions and the input supply voltage begins to
sag (e.g. an external load drags the input supply down).
If the input voltage reaches VUVCL (approximately 300mV
above the battery voltage, ΔVUVCL), undervoltage charge
current limiting will begin to reduce the charge current in
an attempt to maintain ΔVUVCL between VCC and BAT. The
LTC4080X will continue to operate at the reduced charge
current until the input supply voltage is increased or voltage mode reduces the charge current further.
times improvement over the non-current limited supply
power dissipation.
USB and Wall Adapter Power
Although the LTC4080X allows charging from a USB port,
a wall adapter can also be used to charge Li-Ion batteries. Figure 3 shows an example of how to combine wall
adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel MOSFET,
MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into the USB
port when a wall adapter is present and Schottky diode,
D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through the 1k
pulldown resistor.
Typically a wall adapter can supply significantly more
current than the current-limited USB port. Therefore, an
N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra program resistor
can be used to increase the charge current when the wall
adapter is present.
Operation from Current Limited Wall Adapter
By using a current limited wall adapter as the input supply, the LTC4080X can dissipate significantly less power
when programmed for a current higher than the limit of
the wall adapter.
Consider a situation where an application requires a 200mA
charge current for a discharged 800mAh Li-Ion battery.
If a typical 5V (non-current limited) input supply is available then the peak power dissipation inside the part can
exceed 300mW.
Now consider the same scenario, but with a 5V input
supply with a 200mA current limit. To take advantage
of the supply, it is necessary to program the LTC4080X
to charge at a current greater than 200mA. Assume that
the LTC4080X charger is programmed for 300mA (i.e.,
RPROG = 1.33kΩ) to ensure that part tolerances maintain
a programmed current higher than 200mA. Since the
battery charger will demand a charge current higher than
the current limit of the input supply, the supply voltage
will collapse to the battery voltage plus 200mA times the
on-resistance of the internal PFET. The on-resistance of
the battery charger power device is approximately 0.75Ω
with a 5V supply. The actual on-resistance will be slightly
higher due to the fact that the input supply will have collapsed to less than 5V. The power dissipated during this
phase of charging is approximately 30mW. That is a ten

Power Dissipation
The conditions that cause the LTC4080X battery charger
to reduce charge current through thermal feedback can be
approximated by considering the total power dissipated
in the IC. For high charge currents, the LTC4080X power
dissipation is approximately:
PD = ( VCC − VBAT ) • IBAT + PD _ BUCK
Where PD is the total power dissipated within the IC, VCC
is the input supply voltage, VBAT is the battery voltage, IBAT
is the charge current and PD_BUCK is the power dissipation
due to the regulator. PD_BUCK can be calculated as:

PD _ BUCK = VOUT • IOUT ⎜ − 1⎟

Where VOUT is the regulated output of the switching

VCC Bypass Capacitor
TA = 115°C – PDθJA
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing;
however, caution must be exercised when using multi-layer
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 battery charger input to a live
power source. Adding a 1Ω series resistor in series with an
X5R ceramic capacitor will minimize start-up voltage transients.
For more information, refer to Application Note 88.
TA = 115°C – (VCC – VBAT) • IBAT • θJA if the regulator
is off.
SWITCHING REGULATOR
It is not necessary to perform worst-case power dissipation scenarios because the LTC4080X will automatically
reduce the charge current to maintain the die temperature
at approximately 115°C. However, the approximate ambient temperature at which the thermal feedback begins to
protect the IC is:
Example: Consider the extreme case when an LTC4080X
is operating from a 6V supply providing 250mA to a 3V
Li-Ion battery and the regulator is off. The ambient temperature above which the LTC4080X will begin to reduce
the 250mA charge current is approximately:
TA = 115°C – (6V – 3V) • (250mA) • 43°C/W
TA = 115°C – 0.75W • 43°C/W = 115°C – 32.25°C
TA = 82.75°C
If there is more power dissipation due to the regulator,
the thermal regulation will begin at a somewhat lower
temperature. In the above circumstances, the LTC4080X
can be used above 82.75°C, but the charge current will be
reduced from 250mA. The approximate current at a given
ambient temperature can be calculated:
I BAT =
115 °C − T A
( VCC − VBAT ) • θ JA
Using the previous example with an ambient temperature
of 85°C, the charge current will be reduced to approximately:
115 °C − 85 °C
30 °C
I BAT =
=
= 2 3 2 . 6mA
(6V − 3V ) • 43°C / W 129 °C / A
Furthermore, the voltage at the PROG pin will change
proportionally with the charge current as discussed in
the Programming Charge Current section.
Setting the Buck Converter Output Voltage
The LTC4080X regulator compares the FB pin voltage with
an internal 0.8V reference to generate an error signal at the
output of the error amplifier. A voltage divider from VOUT
to ground (as shown in the Block Diagram) programs the
output voltage via FB using the formula:
⎡ R7 ⎤
VOUT = 0 . 8 V • ⎢1 + ⎥
⎣ R8 ⎦
Keeping the current low (<5µA) in these resistors maximizes efficiency, but making them too low may allow stray
capacitance to cause noise problems and reduce the phase
margin of the error amp loop. To improve the frequency
response, a phase-lead capacitor (CPL) of approximately
10pF can be used. Great care should be taken to route the
FB line away from noise sources, such as the inductor or
the SW line.
Inductor Selection
The value of the inductor primarily determines the current ripple in the inductor. The inductor ripple
current ΔIL decreases with higher inductance and
increases with higher VIN or VOUT:
∆IL =
VOUT
f0 • L
⎛
⎞
V
• ⎜ 1 − OUT ⎟

⎝
Accepting larger values of ΔIL allows the use of low
inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple,
greater core losses, and lower output current capability. A

reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ΔIL
=0.3 • ILIM, where ILIM is the peak switch current limit.
The largest ripple current occurs at the maximum input
voltage. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below a
specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen
according to the following equation:
L≥
VOUT
f0 • ∆ IL
⎛
VOUT ⎞
• ⎜ 1−
⎟
⎜⎝
VIN(MAX ) ⎟⎠
For applications with VOUT = 1.8V, the above equation
suggests that an inductor of at least 6.8µH should be used
for proper operation.
Many different sizes and shapes of inductors are
available from numerous manufacturers. To maximize
efficiency, choose an inductor with a low DC resistance.
Keep in mind that most inductors that are very thin or
have a very small volume typically have much higher
core and DCR losses and will not give the best efficiency.
Also choose an inductor with a DC current rating at least
1.5 times larger than the peak inductor current limit to
ensure that the inductor does not saturate during normal operation. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroid,
or shielded pot core inductors in ferrite or permalloy
materials. Table 1 shows a list of several inductor manufacturers.

Input and Output Capacitor Selection
Since the input current waveform to a buck converter is a
square wave, it contains very high frequency components.
It is strongly recommended that a low equivalent series
resistance (ESR) multilayer ceramic capacitor be used to
bypass the BAT pin which is the input for the converter.
Tantalum and aluminum capacitors are not recommended
because of their high ESR. The value of the capacitor on
BAT directly controls the amount of input voltage ripple for
a given load current. Increasing the size of this capacitor
will reduce the input ripple.
To prevent large VOUT voltage steps during transient
load conditions, it is also recommended that a ceramic
capacitor be used to bypass VOUT. A typical value for this
capacitor is 4.7µF.
Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCC) typically have
exceptional ESR performance. MLCCs combined with a
carefully laid out board with an unbroken ground plane will
yield very good performance and low EMI emissions.
There are several types of ceramic capacitors with considerably different characteristics. Y5V ceramic capacitors have
apparently higher packing density but poor performance
over their rated voltage or temperature ranges. Under
given voltage and temperature conditions, X5R and X7R
ceramic capacitors should be compared directly by case
size rather than specified value for a desired minimum
capacitance. Some manufacturers provide excellent data
on their websites about achievable capacitance. Table 2
shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers.

Board Layout Considerations
To be able to deliver maximum charge current under all
conditions, it is critical that the exposed metal pad on the
backside of the LTC4080X’s package has a good thermal
contact to the PC board ground. Correctly soldered to a
2500mm2 double-sided 1 oz. copper board, the LTC4080X
has a thermal resistance of approximately 43°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 43°C/W.
Furthermore due to its high frequency switching circuitry,
it is imperative that the input capacitor, BAT pin capacitor, inductor, and the output capacitor be as close to the
LTC4080X as possible and that there is an unbroken ground
plane under the LTC4080X and all of its high frequency
components.
