USB Power Manager with Ideal Diode Controller and 4.1V Li-Ion Charger

The LTC4085-1 is a USB power manager and Li-Ion battery charger designed for portable battery-powered applications. The part controls the total current used by the USB peripheral for operation and battery charging. The total input current can be limited to 20% or 100% of a programmed value up to 1.5A (typically 100mA or 500mA). Battery charge current is automatically reduced such that the sum of the load current and charge current does not exceed the programmed input current limit.

The LTC4085-1 includes a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for single cell Li-Ion batteries. This 4.1V version of the standard LTC4085 is intended for applications which will be operated or stored above approximately 60°C. Under these conditions, a reduced foat voltage will trade-off initial cell capacity for the benefit of increased capacity retention over the life of the battery. A reduced float voltage also minimizes swelling in prismatic and polymer cells, and avoids open CID (pressure fuse) in cylindrical cells.

The LTC4085-1 also includes a programmable termination timer, automatic recharging, an end-of-charge status output and an NTC thermistor.

The LTC4085-1 is available in a 14-lead low profile 4mm × 3mm DFN package.
