Product details
Overview
LT1511ISW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-current/constant-voltage 3A switching battery charger IC designed for Li-Ion, NiMH, and NiCd chemistries. It integrates a 4A peak internal NPN switch, operates at 200kHz, delivers ±0.5% voltage reference accuracy, supports 1V–20V battery range, and features independent adapter current limiting to enable simultaneous system operation and charging.
For engineers reviewing the LT1511ISW#TRPBF datasheet, LT1511ISW#TRPBF pinout, LT1511ISW#TRPBF application, or LT1511ISW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3A DC charging capability, input current limiting loop, ground-sensed current architecture, thermal performance in the 24-lead SO Wide package, and compatibility with resistor- or DAC-based charging current programming.
Technical Context
The LT1511ISW#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM buck topology with three independent control loops: constant-current regulation via PROG-pin feedback, constant-voltage regulation using the 2.465V reference and OVP amplifier, and adapter input current limiting via CLP/CLN differential sensing. Its internal NPN switch achieves 0.15Ω typical ON resistance and operates with BOOST-driven saturation for low conduction loss.
It supports battery voltage sensing at either terminal (BAT/SENSE), requires no external blocking diode due to sleep-mode reverse leakage of only 3µA, and uses VC pin soft-start (0.33µF) to ramp charging current over ~10ms. Undervoltage lockout is implemented at 6.7V (UV pin) with 0.5V hysteresis, and thermal shutdown protects against junction temperatures exceeding 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charging Current | 3A DC output (4A peak); programmable within ±5% via RPROG or DAC at PROG pin |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C, ±1% over full temperature; enables precise Li-Ion CV termination at 4.2V/cell |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz typical (170–230kHz over temp); balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI |
| Battery Voltage Range | 1V to 20V; supports single-cell Li-Ion up to 5-series NiCd/NiMH packs without level-shifting |
| Adapter Current Limit | Programmable 100mV threshold at CLP/CLN; enables dynamic load sharing between system and battery |
| Quiescent Drain (No Adapter) | 3µA sleep-mode current; prevents significant battery discharge when wall adapter is disconnected |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 30°C/W (SO Wide package with internal paddle GND); supports full 3A charging at ≤60°C ambient with proper PCB copper |
Pinout & Package
LT1511ISW#TRPBF is housed in a 24-lead plastic SO Wide (SW) package with exposed internal GND paddle for thermal dissipation. All seven GND pins (1, 4, 5, 7, 16, 23, 24) are fused to the die attach paddle and must be connected to expanded PCB copper lands for effective heat sinking. VCC pins (20, 21, 22) must be shorted together near the package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (2) | Switch Output | Drives external Schottky catch diode; voltage swings from GND to VBAT during operation |
| BOOST (3) | Bootstrap Driver | Supplies gate drive to internal NPN switch; VBOOST = VCC + VBAT when active; max 57V wrt GND |
| UV (6) | Undervoltage Lockout Input | Rising threshold 6.7V (0.5V hysteresis); disables switching if adapter drops below lockout level |
| OVP (8) | Voltage Sense Input | Connects to battery voltage divider; 2.465V reference sets CV float voltage (e.g., 4.2V for Li-Ion) |
| CLP / CLN (9,10) | Adapter Current Sense Inputs | Differential pair measuring voltage across RS4; 100mV threshold enables real-time input current limiting |
| SENSE (12) / BAT (14) | Current Sense Terminals | Enable high-side or low-side current sensing; no ground isolation required for battery negative |
| VC (18) | Current Mode Control | 0.7V start threshold; 0–1.1V range controls charging current; soft-start capacitor (≥0.33µF) filters noise |
| PROG (19) | Charging Current Programming | Accepts current source (e.g., from CA1) or DAC sink; IPROG = 2.465V/RPROG × (RS2/RS1) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Three-Loop Control Architecture | Simultaneously regulates battery current, battery voltage, and adapter input current-enabling concurrent system use and charging |
| Ground-Referenced Current Sensing | Allows direct connection of battery negative to system GND; avoids isolated sense amplifiers or high-side MOSFETs |
| 0.5% Reference Voltage Accuracy | Meets stringent Li-Ion CV tolerance requirements without external trimming or calibration |
| Automatic Sleep Mode | Reduces reverse battery drain to 3µA when adapter is removed-critical for long-term storage of battery-powered devices |
| Thermally Optimized SO Wide Package | Internal paddle GND and 30°C/W θJA enable full 3A operation without heatsink in compact industrial or medical chargers |

FAQ
What is the maximum battery voltage supported by the LT1511ISW#TRPBF?
The LT1511ISW#TRPBF supports battery voltages from 1V to 20V, enabling use with single-cell Li-Ion (4.2V), two-cell Li-Ion (8.4V), three-cell Li-Ion (12.6V), four-cell Li-Ion (16.8V), and five-cell configurations. The OVP amplifier and 2.465V reference allow precise float voltage setting across this full range using standard resistor dividers.
Does the LT1511ISW#TRPBF require an external blocking diode?
No, the LT1511ISW#TRPBF does not require an external blocking diode. When the wall adapter is disconnected, the IC enters sleep mode and draws only 3µA from the battery. This eliminates reverse current path concerns and simplifies bill-of-materials compared to discrete switch-based chargers.
How is charging current programmed on the LT1511ISW#TRPBF?
Charging current on the LT1511ISW#TRPBF is programmed via the PROG pin using the formula IBAT = (2.465V / RPROG) × (RS2 / RS1). A typical configuration uses RPROG = 4.93kΩ, RS1 = 0.033Ω, and RS2 = RS3 = 200Ω to achieve 3A ±5%. Alternatively, a DAC output can sink current into PROG for dynamic control.
What is the purpose of the CLP and CLN pins on the LT1511ISW#TRPBF?
The CLP and CLN pins on the LT1511ISW#TRPBF form a differential input for the adapter current limit amplifier (CL1). A sense resistor (RS4) placed between them sets the input current threshold (e.g., 100mV/RS4). This enables real-time reduction of charging current to prevent adapter overload while maintaining system operation.
Can the LT1511ISW#TRPBF charge NiMH batteries safely?
Yes, the LT1511ISW#TRPBF can safely charge NiMH batteries using its constant-current mode and optional overvoltage protection via the OVP pin. While it lacks built-in dV/dt or ΔT termination, external comparators (e.g., LT1011) can detect voltage inflection or temperature rise and signal the LT1511ISW#TRPBF to reduce current via the VC pin.
