operation
the end of soft-start will depend on which loop (current,
voltage or adapter limit) is in control of the PWM. If this
current is below that required by the ITH start-up threshold,
the resulting charge current transient duration depends on
loop compensation but is typically less than 100µs.
Bulk Charge
When soft-start is complete, the LTC4012 begins sourc-
ing the current programmed by the external components
connected to CSP , CSN and PROG. Some batteries may
require a small conditioning trickle current if they are heav-
ily discharged. As shown in the Applications Information
section, the LT4012 can address this need through a variety
of low current circuit techniques on the PROG pin. Once
a suitable cell voltage has been reached, charge current
can be switched to a higher, bulk charge value.
End of Charge and CHRG Output
As the battery approaches the programmed output volt-
age, charge current will begin to decrease. The open-drain
CHRG output can indicate when the current drops to 10%
of its programmed full-scale value by turning off the strong

pull-down (open-drain FET) and turning on a weak 25µA
pull-down current. This weak pull-down state is latched
until the part enters shutdown or the sensed current rises
to roughly C/6. C/10 indication will not be set if charge
current has been reduced due to adapter input current
limiting. As the charge current approaches 0A, the PWM
continues to operate in full continuous mode. This avoids
generation of audible noise, allowing bulk ceramic capaci-
tors to be used in the application.
Charge Current Monitoring
When the LTC4012 is charging, the voltage on the PROG pin
varies in direct proportion to the charge current. Referring
to Figure 1, the nominal PROG voltage is given by
Voltage tolerance on PROG is limited by the charge current
accuracy specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Refer to the Applications Information section on program-
ming charge current for additional details.
