Product details
Overview
LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-current/constant-voltage PWM battery charger IC for Li-Ion, NiMH, and NiCd batteries. It delivers up to 1.5A DC charge current with 200kHz switching, features an internal 0.1Ω sense resistor for ±5% current accuracy, supports 4.1V/4.2V or 8.2V/8.4V preset battery voltages, and provides a FLAG output signaling charge completion at 20% of programmed current. It is used in compact cradle chargers for portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF application, or LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200kHz fixed-frequency buck architecture, GN (28-pin narrow SSOP) package with fused ground paddle, 1.5A max DC output, 0.6% reference voltage accuracy, and integrated termination flag functionality - all critical for space-constrained, thermally managed battery charging designs.
Technical Context
The LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM step-down (buck) topology with internal NPN power switch and bootstrap-driven gate control via BOOST pin. Its dual-loop control uses CA1 for precise current sensing (500µA/A transconductance) and VA amplifier with 2.465V reference for voltage regulation during CV phase.
It operates across 8V–26V input and supports battery voltages from 1V to 20V. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (7V typ), thermal shutdown (TJ = 125°C), and low reverse battery drain (5µA), enabling robust operation in adapter-powered portable charging systems without external supervision.

Pinout & Package
LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF is housed in a 28-pin narrow plastic SSOP (GN package) with fused ground paddle for thermal management. Four corner GND pins are internally connected to the die attach paddle and must be soldered to expanded PCB copper lands for effective heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | NPN power switch emitter | Connects directly to Schottky catch diode cathode; requires minimal trace length to GND to minimize switching losses and EMI. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap drive node | Supplies VCC + VBAT to saturate NPN switch; reduces on-resistance and conduction loss during high-current charging. |
| SENSE / BAT | Current sense differential inputs | Measures voltage drop across internal 0.1 Ω resistor; SENSE connects to battery negative, BAT to battery positive for Kelvin sensing. |
| PROG | Charge current programming input | Sinks 500 µA per amp of battery current; sets IBAT = (2.465 V × 2000) / RPROG; also used for loop compensation. |
| VC | Inner-loop PWM control | Controls duty cycle in current mode; 0.9 V threshold starts switching; pulled below 0.6 V for shutdown; 0.1 µF capacitor enables soft-start. |
| FLAG | Open-collector charge completion indicator | Drives low when IBAT ≤ 20% of programmed value; requires external pull-up for microcontroller interrupt or timer start. |
| VFB | Adjustable voltage feedback input | Accepts resistor divider for custom battery voltage setting (e.g., 4.1 V, 8.2 V); not used in LT1571-2/-5 variants. |
| GND (Pins 1,2,3,4,25,26,27,28) | Power and signal ground | All eight GND pins fused to internal paddle; must connect to large thermal pad on PCB to maintain θJA = 40°C/W. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous battery charge current supported by LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF?
The LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF supports up to 1.5 A DC battery charge current under thermal-limited conditions. This is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table for RPROG = 3.28 kΩ at TJ < 0°C. At elevated temperatures or with insufficient PCB copper, derating applies - e.g., 1.2 A max with 16-pin SSOP (θJA = 75°C/W), but LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF's 28-pin GN package enables full 1.5 A with proper heatsinking.
Does LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF integrates a precision 0.1 Ω current sense resistor between SENSE and BAT pins. External RPROG on the PROG pin sets charge current magnitude (IBAT = 2.465 V × 2000 / RPROG), eliminating the need for discrete sense resistors and associated layout sensitivity. This is confirmed in the Features section and Figure 1 schematic.
How does the FLAG output of LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF indicate charge completion?
The FLAG pin on LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF is an open-collector output that pulls low when the battery charge current drops to ≤20% of the programmed value - indicating entry into constant-voltage taper phase. It requires an external pull-up resistor and can sink ≥1 mA. This behavior is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (Charge Completion Flag) and Applications Information section on Lithium-Ion Charge Completion.
Can LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF be used for NiMH or NiCd battery charging?
Yes, LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF supports NiMH and NiCd charging across 1 V–20 V battery voltage range. It provides constant-current regulation and optional overvoltage protection via the VA amplifier. Unlike Li-Ion, NiMH/NiCd require different termination methods (e.g., –dV/dt or temperature sensing), so FLAG is not used for final cutoff but remains functional for current monitoring. This is explicitly stated in the Features and Applications sections.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF?
BOOST pin on LT1571EGN-1#TRPBF supplies gate drive voltage to the internal NPN power switch, enabling saturation and minimizing on-resistance (0.3 Ω typ). It is internally connected to VCC + VBAT during switch ON, reducing conduction loss and improving efficiency - especially critical at high charge currents. This function is detailed in the Pin Functions section and Block Diagram.
