Product details
Overview
LT1510CS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-voltage/constant-current step-down battery charger IC designed for Li-ion, NiMH, and NiCd batteries. It integrates a 1.5A DC / 2A peak internal NPN switch, 0.1Ω onboard current-sense resistor, and a precision 0.5% voltage reference. It operates from 8V to 28V input, charges batteries from 2V to 20V, and delivers >87% efficiency at 1.3A in Li-ion applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT1510CS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1510CS#TRPBF pinout, LT1510CS#TRPBF application, or LT1510CS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200kHz switching frequency, thermal resistance of 50°C/W in the 16-pin SO package, ±1% OVP accuracy over temperature, soft-start via VC pin capacitor, and shutdown control via VC pin voltage ≤0.6V.
Technical Context
The LT1510CS#TRPBF implements current-mode PWM control with dual amplifiers: CA1 converts battery current through an internal 0.1Ω sense path into a proportional IPROG current (500µA/A), while CA2 compares IPROG against the PROG pin's reference-derived programming current. The 2.465V bandgap reference feeds both the OVP comparator and PROG loop, enabling precise CV charging for Li-ion cells.
Its architecture supports ground-referenced current sensing - no high-side sense required - and eliminates external blocking diodes by entering 3µA sleep mode when VCC drops below battery voltage. The BOOST pin drives the internal NPN switch into saturation, achieving low on-resistance (0.3–0.5Ω) and minimizing conduction loss at full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz - enables compact magnetics (e.g., 10 µH ceramic inductors) and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Max DC Charging Current | 1.5 A - supported continuously in 16-pin SO package with θJA = 50°C/W at TA ≤ 60°C. |
| Voltage Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C, ±1% over –40°C to 125°C - meets Li-ion float voltage tolerance requirements without external trimming. |
| Current Sense Resistor | 0.1 Ω integrated - eliminates external sense resistor, simplifies layout, and ensures 3% typical charging current accuracy. |
| Reverse Battery Drain | 3 µA typical - prevents significant self-discharge during adapter removal or standby. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | 7 V - disables switching until input stabilizes above minimum operating threshold, preventing erratic startup. |
| Thermal Resistance | 50°C/W (θJA) - requires PCB copper pour under fused corner pins for reliable 1.5A operation at 60°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
The LT1510CS#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SO (S package) with four corner pins fused to the die attach paddle for thermal dissipation. These pins must be connected to expanded PCB copper lands for proper heat sinking. Package thermal resistance is θJA = 50°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; four corner GND pins are thermally fused to die paddle. |
| SW | Switch output node | Drives external Schottky catch diode; requires minimal trace length to GND to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap drive for internal NPN switch | Supplies gate drive above VCC to saturate internal transistor; max VBOOST = 55V relative to GND. |
| SENSE | Current amplifier CA1 inverting input | Connected to one end of internal 0.1Ω sense resistor; allows current sensing at either battery terminal. |
| VCC | Primary supply input | Accepts 8V–28V; includes 7V UVLO; requires ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor placed near pin. |
| PROG | Charging current programming node | Sinks 500µA per amp of battery current; voltage clamped near 2.465V; accepts DAC or resistor programming. |
| VC | Inner-loop PWM control voltage | 0.7V threshold initiates switching; 0–1.1V range controls soft-start ramp; <0.6V forces shutdown. |
| BAT | Current amplifier CA1 non-inverting input | Connected to other end of internal sense resistor; completes current measurement path across battery. |
| OVP | Voltage amplifier VA input | Compares battery voltage against 2.465V reference; used for CV regulation or overvoltage protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.5A switch + 0.1Ω sense resistor | Eliminates 2–3 external components, reduces BOM cost, and guarantees current accuracy within 3% without calibration. |
| 0.5% voltage reference with ±1% temp drift | Enables direct Li-ion float voltage setting (e.g., 4.2V ±42mV) using only two 0.25% resistors in divider network. |
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Allows battery negative to tie directly to system ground - no level-shifting circuitry or isolated sense amps needed. |
| 3µA sleep-mode quiescent current | Prevents measurable battery discharge when wall adapter is unplugged, critical for portable equipment storage. |
| Soft-start via VC pin capacitor | 0.1µF capacitor yields ~3ms controlled current ramp - avoids inrush stress on input capacitors and battery terminals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4000IGN#PBF | Wider input range (4.5V–36V), supports multi-cell Li-ion, requires external MOSFETs and sense resistor. | Used in high-power or multi-cell systems where flexibility outweighs integration; not drop-in compatible. | Select LTC4000IGN#PBF when designing for >12V input or >2S battery stacks; LT1510CS#TRPBF remains optimal for compact single-cell solutions. |
| TPS65023BRSBR | Integrated PMIC with three buck converters + Li-ion charger; 1A max charge current; fixed 4.2V OVP. | Targets OMAP/ARM-based embedded systems needing power sequencing; lacks programmable OVP. | Choose TPS65023BRSBR for SoC-centric designs requiring coordinated rail management; LT1510CS#TRPBF offers superior CV accuracy and standalone simplicity. |
Compared with LTC4000IGN#PBF and TPS65023BRSBR, the LT1510CS#TRPBF provides higher integration (internal switch + sense), tighter voltage reference (±0.5% vs ±1%), and lower solution cost for dedicated single-cell Li-ion/NiMH chargers - but lacks multi-rail or multi-cell support.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous charging current supported by the LT1510CS#TRPBF?
The LT1510CS#TRPBF supports up to 1.5A DC charging current continuously in its 16-pin SO package when ambient temperature is ≤60°C and proper PCB thermal landings are implemented. This is validated by thermal derating curves showing 1.5A capability at 25V input and 8V battery voltage with θJA = 50°C/W. Peak switch current is rated at 2A for transient handling.
How does the LT1510CS#TRPBF achieve constant-voltage regulation for lithium-ion batteries?
The LT1510CS#TRPBF uses an internal 2.465V precision reference (±0.5% at 25°C) fed into the OVP pin amplifier (VA). When battery voltage, scaled by an external resistor divider (e.g., R3/R4), reaches the reference threshold, VA reduces charging current via the current-mode PWM loop - automatically transitioning from constant-current to constant-voltage mode without external circuitry.
Can the LT1510CS#TRPBF charge batteries with negative terminals grounded to system ground?
Yes. The LT1510CS#TRPBF supports ground-referenced current sensing: its SENSE and BAT pins connect across the internal 0.1Ω resistor, allowing the battery's negative terminal to tie directly to system ground. This eliminates need for high-side current sense amplifiers or level-shifted feedback paths - simplifying layout and reducing component count.
What happens to the LT1510CS#TRPBF when the input adapter is disconnected?
When VCC drops below battery voltage, the LT1510CS#TRPBF enters sleep mode drawing only 3µA typical current. The internal switch turns off, and reverse current from battery to input is blocked. This prevents battery self-discharge during storage or adapter removal - a critical feature for portable devices left unattended for extended periods.
Is the LT1510CS#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT1510-5 variant?
No. While both share identical pinouts in the 16-pin SO package, the LT1510CS#TRPBF operates at 200kHz switching frequency, whereas the LT1510-5CS#TRPBF runs at 500kHz. This difference affects inductor selection, compensation, and EMI behavior - requiring separate layout optimization. They are functionally similar but not interchangeable without circuit review.
