APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
LTC4069-4.4
tain a programmed current higher than 600mA. Since the
LTC4069-4.4 will demand a charge current higher than the
current limit of the input supply, the supply voltage will
drop to the battery voltage plus 600mA times the on-
resistance of the internal PFET. The on-resistance of the
LTC4069-4.4 power device is approximately 450mΩ with
a 5V supply. The actual on-resistance will be slightly
higher due to the fact that the input supply will drop to less
than 5V. The power dissipated during this phase of charg-
ing is less than 180mW. That is a 82% improvement over
the non-current limited supply power dissipation.
USB and Wall Adapter Power
Although the LTC4069-4.4 allows charging from a USB
port, a wall adapter can also be used to charge Li-Ion
batteries. Figure 4 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 pull-down
resistor.
Typically a wall adapter can supply significantly more
current than the 500mA-limited USB port. Therefore, an
N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra program resistor
are used to increase the charge current to 750mA when the
wall adapter is present.
Stability Considerations
The LTC4069-4.4 contains two control loops: constant-
voltage and constant-current. The constant-voltage 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.
High value capacitors with very low ESR (especially ce-
ramic) may reduce the constant-voltage loop phase mar-
gin. Ceramic capacitors up to 22µF may be used in parallel
with a battery, but larger ceramics should be decoupled
with 0.2Ω to 1Ω of series resistance.
In constant-current mode, the PROG pin is in the feedback
loop, not the battery. Because of the additional pole
created by the PROG pin capacitance, capacitance on this
pin must be kept to a minimum. With no additional
capacitance on the PROG pin, the charger is stable with
program resistor values as high as 25k. However, addi-
tional 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, C
equation should be used to calculate the maximum resis-
tance value for R
Average, rather than instantaneous, battery current may
be of interest to the user. For example, if a switching power
supply 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
