Product details
Overview
LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 2-cell Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger IC with integrated 2A switch, operating from 9V to 32V input and delivering 8.4V float voltage. It implements constant-current/constant-voltage charging, C/10 or timer-based termination (3-hour default), and NTC-based temperature monitoring. It is used in 12V–24V industrial handheld instruments and automotive cradle chargers.
For engineers reviewing the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF datasheet, LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF pinout, LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF application, or LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8.4V float voltage accuracy (±0.5%), programmable 2A max charge current via external sense resistor, 1MHz average current mode control, preconditioning for deeply discharged batteries, and binary-coded open-collector status outputs (CHRG/FAULT).
Technical Context
The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF uses a fixed-frequency (1MHz) average current mode step-down architecture with bootstrapped gate drive for its internal 2.5A switch. Its control loop directly regulates average inductor current via SENSE–BAT differential voltage, with ITH error voltage clamped at 1V to enforce 100mV sense threshold and 2A maximum current (RSENSE = 50mΩ).
It integrates dual termination schemes: C/10 detection (7.5–12.5mV sense threshold) and user-programmable timer (CTIMER = 0.68µF → 3h full cycle). Preconditioning activates below 5.8V BAT, reducing charge current to 15% of programmed IMAX; auto-recharge triggers at 97.5% of 8.4V float (i.e., 8.2V), and bad-battery detection halts charging if precondition persists beyond 22.5 minutes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 9V to 32V (11.5V min start-up); supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive or industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Float Voltage | 8.4V ±0.5% (typical 8.4V, min 8.32V, max 8.48V); precisely regulated for 2-cell Li-ion chemistry compliance. |
| Max Charge Current | Up to 2A, set by external RSENSE (e.g., 50mΩ yields 2A); accuracy ±5% over temperature and line. |
| Termination Method | Selectable C/10 (ICHG ≤ 200mA @ 2A setting) or internal timer (3h default, programmable via CTIMER); enables top-off or safety-limited cycles. |
| NTC Monitoring | Supports 10kΩ B=3380 thermistor; disables charging if NTC voltage <0.29V (>40°C) or >1.36V (<0°C); includes 5°C hysteresis. |
| Standby Current | 85µA after charge termination; minimizes parasitic drain when connected to battery in standby. |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.175Ω typical; ensures low conduction loss during high-current CC phase at 2A. |
Pinout & Package
LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF is housed in a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.65mm pitch), with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13) soldered to PCB ground for thermal management (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Input supply rail | Accepts 9–32V; powers internal circuitry and switch; requires ≥10µF low-ESR bulk capacitor. |
| CLP (2) | System current limit monitor | Enables dynamic charge current reduction to maintain total system input current; connect sense resistor between CLP and VIN. |
| SHDN (3) | Enable/disable control | 1.225V rising threshold with 120mV hysteresis; pulls VIN bias to 15µA in shutdown. |
| CHRG (4) | Open-collector status output | Pulled low during active charging; high-impedance when terminated; 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) | Charge cycle timer programming | Connect CTIMER to GND for C/10-only termination; 0.68µF sets 3h full cycle and 22.5min precondition timeout. |
| RNG/SS (7) | Charge current programming & soft-start | Sources 50µA; VRNG/SS × 0.1 = VSENSE–VBAT; enables dynamic current scaling or RC soft-start (e.g., 1V = full IMAX). |
| NTC (8) | Battery temperature sense input | Bias current 50µA; monitors 10kΩ thermistor; disables charging outside 0°C–40°C safe range. |
| BAT (9) | Battery voltage feedback | Regulates float voltage at 8.4V; auto-recharge triggers at 8.2V (97.5% of float); requires ≥10µF decoupling. |

FAQ
What is the exact float voltage of the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF and how tightly is it regulated?
The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF is factory trimmed to deliver a nominal 8.4V float voltage, with guaranteed accuracy of ±0.5% (8.32V to 8.48V) over –40°C to 85°C. This specification is verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, ensuring reliable 2-cell Li-ion charging without external calibration or trimming components. The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF achieves this stability through an internal bandgap reference and precision error amplifier architecture.
Can the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF be used without the NTC thermistor, and what happens to temperature protection?
Yes, the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF operates without the NTC thermistor: leave the NTC pin unconnected, and temperature monitoring is automatically disabled. Charging proceeds normally, but thermal fault protection is inactive. The IC will not suspend charging or assert FAULT due to overtemperature. If thermal safety is required, a 10kΩ B=3380 NTC must be connected from NTC pin to GND; the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF sources 50µA and monitors voltage thresholds (0.29V–1.36V) to enforce 0°C–40°C limits.
How is the maximum charge current set on the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF, and what is the minimum sense resistor value?
The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF sets maximum charge current via the SENSE–BAT differential voltage, with 100mV corresponding to full-scale current (e.g., 2A with RSENSE = 50mΩ). The minimum recommended RSENSE is 25mΩ (4A equivalent), but the IC's switch current limit is 2.5A, so practical maximum is 2A. Accuracy is ±5%, and the sense resistor must handle peak power (I²×R); for 2A, 50mΩ dissipates 200mW. The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF also allows dynamic adjustment via the RNG/SS pin.
Does the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF support automatic recharge, and at what battery voltage does it trigger?
Yes, the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF supports automatic recharge: it restarts charging when the BAT pin voltage drops 2.5% below the float voltage (i.e., 8.2V for the 8.4V variant). This threshold is fixed and non-adjustable. After termination, the IC enters 85µA standby mode; when BAT falls to 8.2V, the voltage error amplifier detects under-voltage and resumes the full CC/CV cycle. The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF performs this autonomously-no external circuitry or host intervention is needed.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF?
The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF uses a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W when the exposed pad is soldered to a 1-in² copper area. This enables reliable operation at full 2A charge current in ambient temperatures up to 85°C, provided adequate PCB copper pour and airflow. The LT3650EMSE-8.4#TRPBF datasheet specifies TJMAX = 125°C and requires the exposed pad to be grounded for both thermal and electrical performance.
