LTC4101 Smart Battery Charger Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Single Chip Smart Battery Charger Controller The LTC®4101 Smart Battery Charger is a single chip n 100% Compliant (Rev. 1.1) SMBus Support Allows charging solution that dramatically simplifi es construction for Operation with or without Host of an SBS compliant system. The LTC4101 implements n Up to 4A Charging Current Capability a Level 2 charger function whereby the charger can be n High Effi ciency Synchronous Buck Charger programmed by the battery or by the host. A SafetySignal n VBAT Optimized 3V to 5.5V on the battery being charged is monitored for temperature, n SMBus Accelerator Improves SMBus Timing connectivity and battery type information. The SMBus n Hardware Interrupt and SMBAlert Response interface remains alive when the AC power adapter is Eliminate Interrupt Polling removed and responds to all SMBus activity directed to n 0.5V Dropout Voltage; Maximum Duty Cycle > 98% it, including SafetySignal status (via the ChargerStatus n AC Adapter Current Limit Maximizes Charge Rate command). The charger also provides an interrupt to the n ±0.8% Voltage Accuracy; ±4% Current Accuracy host whenever a status change is detected (e.g., battery n 10-Bit DAC for Charge Current Programming removal, AC adapter connection). n 11-Bit DAC for Charger Voltage Programming Charging current and voltage are restricted to chemistry- n User-Selectable Overvoltage and Overcurrent Limits specifi c limits for improved system safety and reliability. n High Noise Immunity SafetySignal Sensor Limits are programmable by two external resistors. Ad- n Available in a 24-Pin SSOP Package ditionally, the maximum average current from the AC adapter is programmable to avoid overloading the adapter APPLICATIONS when simultaneously supplying load current and charging n Portable Instruments and Computers current.
