Product details
Overview
LT1510IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-voltage/constant-current switching battery charger IC optimized for lithium-ion, NiMH, and NiCd batteries. It integrates a 1.5A DC/2A peak internal NPN switch, 0.1Ω onboard current sense resistor, 0.5% precision voltage reference, 200kHz fixed-frequency current-mode PWM controller, and thermal shutdown protection. It operates from 8V to 28V input and charges batteries from 2V to 20V, supporting high-efficiency fast-charge applications in portable medical devices and industrial handhelds.
For engineers reviewing the LT1510IS8#PBF datasheet, LT1510IS8#PBF pinout, LT1510IS8#PBF application, or LT1510IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SOIC package with fused ground pins for thermal management, ±1% OVP accuracy over temperature, 3µA sleep-mode quiescent current, programmable charging current via single resistor (±3% typical accuracy), and compatibility with external shutdown via VC pin.
Technical Context
The LT1510IS8#PBF implements a current-mode PWM buck topology with integrated NPN power switch and bootstrap-driven gate control on the BOOST pin. Its dual-loop architecture uses CA1 amplifier to convert sensed battery current into IPROG (500µA/A), then compares it against PROG-set reference to regulate IBAT; VA amplifier monitors battery voltage via OVP pin to enforce precise constant-voltage termination at 2.465V ±0.5%.
It features undervoltage lockout at 7V on VCC, soft-start controlled by 0.1µF capacitor on VC pin (full current reached in ~3ms), and reverse-battery drain limited to 3µA when VCC is disconnected. The 8-pin SOIC variant (S8 package) has θJA = 125°C/W and supports up to 1.3A thermally limited charging current at TA = 60°C with 16V battery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charging Current Accuracy | ±3% typical - enables single-resistor programming without calibration for production-grade Li-ion chargers. |
| Voltage Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C, ±1% over –40°C to 85°C - meets Li-ion float voltage tolerance (±1–2%) without external trimming. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz fixed - balances efficiency (>87% at 1.3A) and inductor size (e.g., 33µH CTX33-2 for 0.5A NiMH). |
| Max DC Battery Current | 1.5A - sufficient for fast-charging single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell NiMH packs in space-constrained designs. |
| Sleep Mode Current | 3µA - eliminates battery drain when wall adapter is unplugged, critical for always-connected portable systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 28V - supports common off-the-shelf AC/DC adapters (12V, 15V, 24V) without pre-regulation. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 85°C (Industrial grade) - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive accessory applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT1510IS8#PBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic SOIC (S8) package with fused ground pins (Pins 1, 4, 5, 8) connected internally to the die attach paddle for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 125°C/W). Pin 1 is SW (switch output), Pin 2 is BOOST, Pin 3 is GND, Pin 4 is SENSE, Pin 5 is VCC, Pin 6 is PROG, Pin 7 is VC, and Pin 8 is BAT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch Output | Drives external Schottky catch diode; requires short PCB trace to GND to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap Driver | Supplies gate drive to internal NPN switch; VBOOST = VCC + VBAT during ON time; max 55V rating. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Pins 1, 4, 5, 8 are fused to thermal paddle - must connect all four to large copper pour for thermal reliability. |
| SENSE | Current Sense Input | Connects to low-side of 0.1Ω internal sense resistor; enables ground-referenced current sensing. |
| VCC | Supply Input | Accepts 8–28V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor; UVLO activates below 7V to halt switching. |
| PROG | Current Programming | Set charging current with resistor to GND; VPROG ≈ 2.465V; supports DAC current-sinking interface. |
| VC | Control Loop Input | Soft-start and shutdown control; 0.1µF to GND sets ramp rate; pull ≤0.8V to disable switching. |
| BAT | Battery Sense Input | High-side current sense node; used with SENSE to measure battery current without ground disruption. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.5A Switch + 0.1Ω Sense Resistor | Eliminates external MOSFET and sense resistor, reducing BOM count and layout area in compact chargers. |
| 0.5% Precision Voltage Reference | Enables accurate 4.2V Li-ion CV termination without external voltage divider trimming resistors. |
| Current Sensing at Either Battery Terminal | Supports both high-side (BAT–SENSE) and low-side configurations - simplifies PCB routing in grounded-battery systems. |
| 3µA Sleep-Mode Drain | Preserves battery charge during standby - critical for emergency medical devices and remote sensors. |
| External Shutdown via VC Pin | Allows system-level power sequencing and battery removal detection using open-drain logic or microcontroller GPIO. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4000-1 | Requires external MOSFETs; supports higher voltage (up to 32V); includes SMBus interface and telemetry. | Used in server-grade battery management with host communication; not drop-in compatible. | Select LTC4000-1 only when telemetry, programmable safety timers, or >1.5A charge current are required. |
| BQ24610 | Fixed 350kHz frequency; integrated MOSFETs rated for 3A; no internal sense resistor - requires external 0.01Ω. | Targeted at high-current laptop and power tool chargers; lacks fused thermal pad in TSSOP package. | Choose BQ24610 for >1.5A applications where board space allows larger external sense resistor and higher thermal budget. |
Compared with LTC4000-1 and BQ24610, LT1510IS8#PBF offers the lowest component count for sub-1.5A Li-ion/NiMH charging, smallest footprint (8-pin SOIC), and lowest sleep current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and ultra-low-power portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum charging current supported by LT1510IS8#PBF under standard operating conditions?
The LT1510IS8#PBF supports up to 1.5A DC charging current with proper thermal design. In the 8-pin SOIC package (S8), thermally limited maximum current is 1.3A at TA = 60°C with 16V battery, per Figure G12 in the datasheet. This assumes adequate PCB copper area on fused ground pins and ambient airflow. Exceeding this limit risks junction temperature exceeding 125°C and triggering thermal shutdown.
Can LT1510IS8#PBF be used to charge lithium-ion batteries without external charge termination circuitry?
Yes, LT1510IS8#PBF can fully charge lithium-ion batteries without external termination circuitry. Its internal 2.465V ±0.5% reference and OVP amplifier automatically transition from constant-current to constant-voltage mode and taper current to zero when battery voltage reaches the programmed float level - as demonstrated in Figure 2 of the datasheet for 1.3A Li-ion charging.
How does the PROG pin function in LT1510IS8#PBF, and what resistor value sets 1A charging current?
The PROG pin on LT1510IS8#PBF accepts a resistor to ground to set charging current via IBAT = (2.465V / RPROG) × 2000. For 1A, RPROG = (2.465V × 2000) / 1A = 4.93kΩ. The datasheet confirms ±3% typical accuracy with this configuration, and the 0.1Ω internal sense resistor eliminates need for external current sensing.
What is the purpose of the fused ground pins in the LT1510IS8#PBF SOIC package?
The fused ground pins (1, 4, 5, 8) in LT1510IS8#PBF's 8-pin SOIC package are internally connected to the die attach paddle to provide low-thermal-resistance heat conduction to the PCB. Connecting all four pins to an expanded copper land significantly improves θJA (to 125°C/W), enabling higher sustained charging currents without exceeding 125°C junction temperature - essential for reliable operation in enclosed industrial devices.
Does LT1510IS8#PBF support NiCd and NiMH battery chemistries, and how is charge termination handled?
Yes, LT1510IS8#PBF supports NiCd and NiMH charging, but requires external charge termination circuitry as noted in the datasheet. Unlike Li-ion, NiCd/NiMH lack intrinsic voltage-based full-charge indicators; thus, termination relies on external methods such as –ΔV detection, temperature rise (dT/dt), or timer cutoff. Figure 6 shows a 2-level NiMH charger using external transistor Q1 controlled by system logic.
