Product details
Overview
LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 2A step-down Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger IC with 4.75V–32V input range, 4.1V float voltage, and integrated 2A switch. It delivers constant-current/constant-voltage charging with programmable C/10 or timer-based termination, preconditioning for deeply discharged batteries, and NTC temperature monitoring - used in 12V–24V automotive cradle chargers and industrial handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF datasheet, LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF pinout, LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF application, or LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.1V fixed float voltage, MSOP-12 package with exposed thermal pad, 1MHz average current mode control, ±0.5% float voltage accuracy, and compatibility with system-level input current limiting via CLP pin.
Technical Context
The LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF implements a fixed-frequency (1MHz) average current mode buck regulator architecture optimized for single-cell Li-Ion charging. Its internal 2A switch is driven by a bootstrapped BOOST rail referenced to SW, enabling low on-resistance operation without external blocking diodes.
Charge control integrates dual termination schemes: C/10 detection (7.5–12.5mV sense threshold) and user-programmable safety timer (e.g., 3-hour full cycle with 0.68µF capacitor). Preconditioning activates below 2.9V BAT, reducing charge current to 15% of programmed maximum until voltage rises above 2.99V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 32V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive and industrial supplies without pre-regulation. |
| Float Voltage | 4.10V ±0.5% - precisely regulated output for Li-Ion cells requiring 4.1V nominal full-charge voltage. |
| Max Charge Current | Up to 2A - set externally via SENSE–BAT resistor; 100mV full-scale sense voltage enables accurate current programming. |
| Termination Method | C/10 detection or 3-hour programmable timer - selectable via TIMER pin configuration; enables top-off charging beyond C/10 when timer active. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed - allows compact external magnetics and filtering; average current mode ensures stable regulation across load and line variations. |
| NTC Monitoring | Active thermistor interface (50µA bias, 0.29V–1.36V valid range) - suspends charging outside safe temperature window (≈0°C–40°C). |
| Standby Current | 85µA - ultra-low quiescent draw after charge termination preserves system battery life during idle periods. |
Pinout & Package
LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF is housed in a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13 = GND), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Input supply rail | Accepts 4.75V–32V; powers internal circuitry and switch; requires ≥7.5V or BOOST–SW >2V for startup. |
| CLP (2) | System current limit monitor | Enables dynamic reduction of charge current to maintain total input current at programmed level (e.g., 50mV threshold). |
| SHDN (3) | Enable/disable control | 1.225V precision threshold; 120mV hysteresis; pulls VIN current to 15µA in shutdown. |
| CHRG (4) | Open-collector status output | Pulled low during active charging; high-impedance at termination; sinks up to 10mA. |
| FAULT (5) | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulled low on NTC fault, bad-battery condition, or timer timeout; high-impedance otherwise. |
| TIMER (6) | End-of-cycle timer programming | Connect capacitor to GND for time-based termination (e.g., 0.68µF = 3 hours); tie to GND for C/10-only mode. |
| RNG/SS (7) | Charge current programming | Sets max current via voltage (0–1V range); 50µA sourced; supports soft-start with external capacitor. |
| NTC (8) | Battery temperature monitor | 50µA bias for 10kΩ B=3380 thermistor; disables charging if voltage <0.29V (>40°C) or >1.36V (<0°C). |
| BAT (9) | Battery voltage feedback | Direct connection to battery terminal; senses float voltage; triggers auto-recharge at 97.5% VFLT. |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | High-side sense node; 100mV full-scale corresponds to 2A; bias current <0.1µA post-termination. |
| BOOST (11) | Bootstrap supply for switch driver | Connected to SW via ≥1µF capacitor; enables saturation of internal 2A switch for high efficiency. |
| SW (12) | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; internal switch connects SW to VIN; on-resistance ≈0.175Ω. |
| SGND (13) | Signal and thermal ground | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and noise control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external blocking diode required | Internal reverse-voltage protection eliminates diode loss and board space, enabling direct VIN-to-charger connection. |
| Auto-preconditioning below 2.9V | Reduces charge current to 15% of programmed maximum until battery recovers, preventing damage to deeply discharged cells. |
| Binary-coded open-collector status pins | CHRG and FAULT provide unambiguous real-time state reporting (charging, terminated, NTC fault, bad-battery) without I²C or SPI overhead. |
| Programmable input current limit via CLP | Allows shared input rail management: charger dynamically reduces ICHG to keep total system current within defined limit. |
| Thermal foldback protection | Automatically reduces IMAX as junction temperature rises, maintaining safe operation under high ambient or high-power conditions. |

FAQ
What is the exact float voltage of the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF?
The LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF has a factory-trimmed float voltage of 4.10V with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is fixed and non-adjustable - distinct from the LT3650-4.2 variant (4.20V). The specification is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VBAT(FLT) for LT3650-4.1, with typical values ranging from 4.08V to 4.12V at 25°C.
Does the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF require an external blocking diode on the VIN line?
No, the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF does not require an external blocking diode. It incorporates internal reverse-voltage protection that prevents battery discharge back into the input supply when VIN is absent or below battery voltage. This eliminates diode forward-drop losses and simplifies layout - confirmed in the "Operation" section and "Features" list of the official datasheet.
How is charge termination configured on the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF?
Charge termination on the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF is selected via the TIMER pin: connect a capacitor to GND for time-based termination (e.g., 0.68µF = 3 hours), or tie TIMER directly to GND for C/10-only mode. In C/10 mode, termination occurs when sensed current drops to 10% of programmed maximum (7.5–12.5mV across RSENSE). Both methods are mutually exclusive and hardware-configured.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF use?
The LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF uses a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13 = SGND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation - specified in the "Pin Configuration" diagram and Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF support battery temperature monitoring?
Yes, the LT3650EMSE-4.1#PBF supports battery temperature monitoring via the NTC pin (Pin 8), which sources 50µA to bias a 10kΩ B=3380 thermistor. Charging is suspended and FAULT asserted if the NTC voltage falls below 0.29V (>40°C) or rises above 1.36V (<0°C), with ~5°C hysteresis. Leaving NTC unconnected disables the function.
