Product details
Overview
LT1769IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-current/constant-voltage 2A switching battery charger IC for Li-ion, NiMH, and NiCd batteries. It integrates a 2A DC / 3A peak internal NPN switch, delivers 0.5% voltage regulation accuracy, supports input current limiting via CLP/CLN pins, operates from 8V–28V VCC, and charges batteries from 1V to 20V. It is used in portable medical devices requiring simultaneous system operation and fast battery recharge.
For engineers reviewing the LT1769IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LT1769IGN#TRPBF pinout, LT1769IGN#TRPBF application, or LT1769IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200kHz current-mode PWM architecture, dual-loop (battery current + adapter current) control, exposed-pad 28-lead SSOP thermal performance (θJA = 35°C/W), and ±0.5% reference voltage accuracy over temperature.
Technical Context
The LT1769IGN#TRPBF implements a synchronous buck topology with current-mode PWM control, using an internal 2A-rated NPN switch and external Schottky catch diode. Its three independent control loops regulate battery charge current (via PROG/SENSE/BAT), battery float voltage (via OVP/VA amplifier with 2.465V reference), and input adapter current (via CLP/CLN at 100mV threshold).
It features adaptive soft-start via VC pin (0.33µF capacitor), undervoltage lockout with 6.7V rising threshold and 0.5V hysteresis on UV pin, and automatic sleep mode reducing reverse battery drain to 3µA when VCC is removed. The BOOST pin drives the NPN base to minimize saturation voltage and conduction loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current | 2A DC continuous (3A peak); programmable ±5% via resistor or DAC at PROG pin |
| Constant-Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C (±1% over –40°C to 125°C); enables precise Li-ion float voltage control |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz typical (170–230kHz over temp); balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 28V at VCC pins; requires ≥3V headroom above VBAT for proper operation |
| Battery Voltage Range | 1V to 20V; supports single-cell Li-ion up to 5-series NiMH/NiCd packs |
| Reverse Battery Drain | 3µA typical in sleep mode; eliminates parasitic discharge when wall adapter is disconnected |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 35°C/W (GN package); requires soldered exposed pad to PCB ground plane for heat sinking |
Pinout & Package
The LT1769IGN#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead narrow SSOP package with exposed ground paddle (3.0 mm × 4.1 mm), requiring soldering to an expanded PCB ground land for thermal management (θJA = 35°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1–3, 7, 8, 14, 15, 22, 26–28) | Ground reference and thermal path | All GND pins connect internally to die attach paddle; must be soldered to large PCB ground area for heat dissipation |
| SW (Pin 4) | Switch node output | Drives external Schottky catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring short layout to GND |
| BOOST (Pin 5) | NPN base drive bootstrap | Supplies base current to internal NPN; VBOOST ≈ VCC + VBAT during ON time |
| UV (Pin 6) | Undervoltage lockout input | Triggers shutdown at 6.7V rising threshold; hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold |
| OVP (Pin 9) | Voltage amplifier input | Monitors battery voltage via R3/R4 divider; compares to 2.465V reference for CV mode transition |
| CLP / CLN (Pins 10/11) | Adapter current limit sense inputs | Differential pair measuring voltage across RS4; 100mV threshold enables simultaneous load + charge |
| SENSE / BAT (Pins 13/17) | Battery current sense inputs | Supports high-side or low-side sensing; CA1 amplifier rejects common-mode offset up to VCC – 2V |
| PROG (Pin 21) | Charge current programming input | Accepts current source (DAC or resistor network); sets IBAT = 2.465V / RPROG × (RS2/RS1) |
| VC (Pin 20) | Current loop control voltage | 0.7V threshold starts switching; 1.1V = full current; capacitor here controls soft-start ramp rate |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-loop regulation | Simultaneous control of battery charge current, battery voltage, and adapter input current-enables concurrent system operation without adapter overload |
| Low reverse battery drain | 3µA sleep-mode current when VCC is removed-preserves battery capacity during storage or unplugged use |
| Flexible current sensing | SENSE and BAT pins support sensing at either battery terminal-eliminates need for ground-referenced shunt and simplifies PCB layout |
| Programmable undervoltage lockout | Adjustable UV threshold via external resistor divider-prevents operation below minimum adapter voltage required for full system + charge load |
| Integrated soft-start | Controlled by 0.33µF capacitor on VC pin-limits inrush current and prevents adapter current limit tripping during startup |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3652IMSE#TRPBF | 42V max input, 2A integrated MOSFET, 3.3V–32V battery range; no adapter current limiting loop | Lacks CLP/CLN-based input current regulation-requires external circuitry for simultaneous load + charge | Choose when higher input voltage (e.g., automotive 24V) is needed and adapter current limiting is handled elsewhere |
| BQ24610RGTT | 3.5A max charge current, integrated MOSFETs, 4.5V–28V input; fixed 200kHz frequency, no BOOST pin | Uses synchronous rectification instead of external diode; lacks programmable UV lockout and flexible current-sense topology | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where high integration and footprint reduction outweigh flexibility in sensing and adapter management |
Compared with LT3652IMSE#TRPBF and BQ24610RGTT, the LT1769IGN#TRPBF uniquely provides three independent analog control loops (battery current, battery voltage, adapter current) in a single IC-enabling true concurrent operation without firmware intervention or external current-limiting components.

FAQ
What is the maximum battery voltage supported by the LT1769IGN#TRPBF?
The LT1769IGN#TRPBF supports battery voltages from 1V to 20V, enabling use with single-cell Li-ion (up to 4.2V), 3S Li-ion (up to 12.6V), and 5-series NiMH/NiCd packs (up to ~10V). Its OVP amplifier and 2.465V reference allow precise float voltage setting across this full range when configured with appropriate R3/R4 dividers. The LT1769IGN#TRPBF does not support lead-acid or higher-voltage chemistries beyond 20V.
Can the LT1769IGN#TRPBF operate without an external Schottky diode?
No-the LT1769IGN#TRPBF requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., SS24 or MBRS130LT3) connected between SW and GND. Unlike synchronous buck controllers, it lacks a second integrated switch; the diode provides the return current path during switch OFF time. Omitting it causes catastrophic failure due to inductive kickback at the SW pin. The LT1769IGN#TRPBF datasheet explicitly specifies D2/D3 in all reference designs.
How does the LT1769IGN#TRPBF achieve simultaneous system operation and battery charging?
The LT1769IGN#TRPBF achieves simultaneous operation using its third control loop: the adapter current limiter. By sensing total input current via CLP/CLN pins and dynamically reducing charge current when the 100mV threshold is exceeded, it ensures the wall adapter never exceeds its rated output. This closed-loop analog regulation-distinct from digital load-sharing algorithms-allows full system load and charging to coexist without firmware coordination. The LT1769IGN#TRPBF implements this entirely in hardware.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1769IGN#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin on the LT1769IGN#TRPBF supplies base drive to the internal NPN power switch. It is bootstrapped to ≈ VCC + VBAT during switch ON time, ensuring deep saturation and minimizing VCE(sat)-which directly reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency. Proper BOOST routing (short trace, local 0.1µF ceramic cap to VCC) is critical; incorrect implementation causes excessive junction temperature and premature thermal shutdown. The LT1769IGN#TRPBF datasheet specifies BOOST voltage and current requirements in absolute maximum ratings.
Does the LT1769IGN#TRPBF require external compensation components?
Yes-the LT1769IGN#TRPBF requires external compensation on two nodes: a 0.33µF capacitor from VC to GND for soft-start timing and loop stability, and RC networks on COMP1 (for adapter current loop) and COMP2 (for battery voltage loop) per the Figure 1 schematic. These are not optional; omitting them causes instability, oscillation, or failure to regulate. The LT1769IGN#TRPBF datasheet provides exact values (e.g., 300Ω + 0.47µF on COMP1) validated for 2A Li-ion charging.
