Product details
Overview
LT1510IGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-voltage/constant-current switching battery charger IC designed for lithium-ion, NiCd, and NiMH batteries. It integrates a 1.5A DC / 2A peak internal NPN switch, 0.1Ω onboard current-sense resistor, and precision 0.5% reference voltage. It operates from 8V–28V input, charges batteries from 2V–20V, and delivers >87% efficiency at 1.3A in Li-ion applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT1510IGN#PBF datasheet, LT1510IGN#PBF pinout, LT1510IGN#PBF application, or LT1510IGN#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 200kHz switching frequency, thermal resistance of 80°C/W in GN package, ±1% OVP accuracy over temperature, soft-start via VC pin capacitor, and shutdown control through VC pin logic level.
Technical Context
The LT1510IGN#PBF implements current-mode PWM buck topology with internal NPN switch and integrated current-sense amplifier (CA1). Its PROG pin accepts either a resistor or DAC-sourced programming current (500µA/A scaling), enabling precise 1.5A charging current set within ±3% typical accuracy. The OVP pin connects to a dedicated voltage amplifier (VA) referenced to the 2.465V internal bandgap, allowing programmable float voltage for Li-ion cells.
It features ground-referenced current sensing (SENSE and BAT pins), reverse-battery drain current of only 3µA when VCC is unpowered, and undervoltage lockout at 7V on VCC. The BOOST pin drives the internal switch into saturation, reducing conduction loss, while the VC pin serves dual roles: inner-loop control voltage (0.7V–1.1V for soft-start ramp) and active-low shutdown input.

Pinout & Package
The LT1510IGN#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package with fused corner pins connected to the die attach paddle for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 80°C/W). PCB land pattern must expand these four corner pads for effective heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 4, 15, 16) | Power and signal ground reference | Fused corner pins connect directly to thermal paddle; all must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node output | Drives external Schottky catch diode; requires minimal trace length to GND to minimize ringing and EMI |
| BOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap drive for internal NPN switch | Voltage = VCC + VBAT during switch ON; max rating 55 V - dictates external diode/capacitor voltage rating |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | Inverting input of current-sense amplifier CA1 | Connected across internal 0.08 Ω RS1; enables high-side or low-side current sensing configuration |
| VCC (Pins 6, 11, 12) | IC supply input | Must be ≥2 V above VBAT (≤10 V) or ≥2.5 V above VBAT (>10 V); bypassed with ≥10 µF low-ESR capacitor |
| PROG (Pin 7) | Charging current programming input | Sinks 500 µA per amp of IBAT; voltage clamped near 2.465 V - compatible with DAC current output |
| VC (Pin 8) | Current-mode PWM control and shutdown | Ramps 0.7–1.1 V for soft-start; pulled low (<0.8 V) to disable switching; sources/sinks up to 3 mA |
| BAT (Pin 9) | Non-inverting input of CA1 | Completes current-sense path with SENSE; also used as battery voltage reference point for OVP divider |
| OVP (Pin 10) | Voltage feedback input for constant-voltage regulation | Compares divided battery voltage against 2.465 V reference; bias current ≤150 nA enables high-Z dividers |
| NC (Pins 13, 14) | No-connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected and un-routed on PCB |

FAQ
What is the maximum battery voltage supported by the LT1510IGN#PBF?
The LT1510IGN#PBF supports battery voltages from 2V to 20V. Its internal architecture allows the BAT pin to tolerate up to VCC – 2V when the switch is ON, and the OVP amplifier is designed to accurately regulate up to 20V battery systems using appropriate resistor dividers. This makes the LT1510IGN#PBF suitable for single- to five-cell Li-ion, multi-cell NiMH, and other medium-voltage rechargeable configurations.
How does the LT1510IGN#PBF achieve constant-voltage regulation for lithium-ion batteries?
The LT1510IGN#PBF achieves constant-voltage regulation using its internal 2.465V precision reference and dedicated OVP pin. A resistor divider from the battery to ground feeds a scaled-down version of VBAT into the OVP pin. When this voltage reaches 2.465V, the internal voltage amplifier (VA) reduces the charging current by modulating the PWM duty cycle - transitioning smoothly from constant-current to constant-voltage mode without external circuitry. This behavior is intrinsic to the LT1510IGN#PBF's analog control architecture.
Can the LT1510IGN#PBF be used without an external Schottky diode?
No - the LT1510IGN#PBF requires an external Schottky catch diode connected between the SW pin and GND. Although the IC enters sleep mode and draws only 3µA when VCC is removed, it does not integrate a synchronous rectifier or body-diode replacement. The datasheet explicitly specifies placement of "Schottky catch diode with very short lead length in close proximity to SW pin and GND" to minimize losses and ringing. Omitting the diode will cause catastrophic failure during switch OFF transitions.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1510IGN#PBF, and what voltage can it handle?
The BOOST pin on the LT1510IGN#PBF supplies gate drive voltage to the internal NPN switch, forcing it into deep saturation to minimize conduction loss. During switch ON, BOOST voltage equals VCC + VBAT, so its absolute maximum rating is 55V. Designers must select an external BOOST capacitor and diode rated for this combined voltage - for example, with VCC = 24V and VBAT = 12V, BOOST must withstand ≥36V. Exceeding 55V risks permanent damage to the LT1510IGN#PBF's internal driver stage.
Does the LT1510IGN#PBF require external compensation components?
The LT1510IGN#PBF integrates internal compensation for its current-mode PWM loop, requiring only a 0.1µF capacitor on the VC pin for soft-start timing - no external Type II or III compensation network is needed. However, the PROG pin does require a 0.47µF capacitor (CPROG) to average the AC-coupled current signal from the CA1 amplifier, as specified in the block diagram and test circuits. This CPROG capacitor is mandatory for stable current regulation and is part of the LT1510IGN#PBF's defined application circuit.
