Product details
Overview
LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF 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 features programmable C/10 or timer-based charge termination, NTC temperature monitoring, bad-battery detection, and auto-recharge at 97.5% of float voltage - used in 12V–24V industrial handhelds and automotive cradle chargers.
For engineers reviewing the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF datasheet, LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF pinout, LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF application, or LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8.4V float voltage accuracy (±0.5%), 2A max charge current programmability via sense resistor, 1MHz fixed-frequency average current mode control, thermal foldback behavior, and MSOP-12 package compatibility with PCB layout constraints for high-voltage battery charging systems.
Technical Context
The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF implements a constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging profile using average current mode control with a 1MHz fixed-frequency buck architecture. Its internal 2A switch is driven by a bootstrapped BOOST rail referenced to SW, enabling low on-resistance operation (350mV drop at 2A) and high efficiency across the 9V–32V input range.
Charge termination is configurable: either when sensed current falls to C/10 (7.5–12.5mV across SENSE–BAT), or after a user-programmed timer interval (e.g., 3 hours with 0.68µF on TIMER). Preconditioning activates below 5.8V BAT, reducing charge current to 15% of programmed maximum, while NTC monitoring suspends charging if voltage at NTC pin falls outside 0.29V–1.36V (≈0°C–40°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Float Voltage | 8.4V ±0.5% - precisely regulates 2-cell Li-ion stack to full charge without overvoltage risk. |
| Max Charge Current | Up to 2A - set externally via sense resistor (RSENSE = 0.1V / IMAX); enables fast recharge in space-constrained systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 9V to 32V (11.5V min start-up) - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive and industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Termination Options | C/10 detection (7.5–12.5mV threshold) or programmable timer (e.g., 3 hr with 0.68µF) - provides flexibility for battery chemistry and safety compliance. |
| NTC Monitoring | 50µA bias current into NTC pin; 0.29V–1.36V active window - enables safe charging only within validated temperature band (≈0°C–40°C). |
| Standby Current | 85µA - minimizes system power draw when battery is fully charged and no recharge is needed. |
| Switch On-Drop | 350mV at 2A - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress during high-current CC phase. |
Pinout & Package
LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF is housed in a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13 = SGND). The package supports high-power dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W) and requires soldering the exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Input supply rail | Accepts 9V–32V; powers internal circuitry and switch; requires ≥10µF low-ESR input 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 threshold (120mV hysteresis); pulls VIN current to 15µA in shutdown; allows UVLO integration via resistor divider. |
| CHRG (4) | Open-collector status output | Pulled low during active charging; high-impedance when terminated; indicates C/10 event or temperature fault. |
| FAULT (5) | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulled low on NTC out-of-range, bad-battery detection, or timer timeout; signals non-recoverable failure conditions. |
| TIMER (6) | Charge cycle timing capacitor | Connects to GND via capacitor (e.g., 0.68µF → 3 hr full cycle); disables timer when tied to GND for C/10-only termination. |
| RNG/SS (7) | Charge current programming & soft-start | Sources 50µA; sets max current via voltage (VRNG/SS × IMAX); supports RC soft-start to limit inrush. |
| NTC (8) | Battery temperature sensing | Biases external 10kΩ NTC; monitors voltage (0.29V–1.36V) to suspend charging outside safe thermal zone. |
| BAT (9) | Battery voltage feedback | Direct connection to battery anode; senses float voltage (8.4V) and triggers auto-recharge at 97.5% (8.2V). |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Connects to high-side of RSENSE; 100mV full-scale corresponds to 2A; bias current <0.1µA post-termination. |
| BOOST (11) | Bootstrap gate drive supply | Connected to SW via ≥1µF capacitor; supplies >8.5V headroom for switch saturation and low RDS(on). |
| SW (12) | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; switches between VIN and GND; peak voltage ≤40V; on-resistance ~0.175Ω. |
| SGND (13) | Signal & thermal ground | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable float voltage | 8.4V with ±0.5% accuracy ensures precise 2-cell Li-ion termination without cell imbalance risk. |
| Auto-preconditioning | Activates below 5.8V BAT and limits current to 15% of programmed max - safely recovers deeply discharged batteries. |
| Binary-coded status outputs | CHRG and FAULT pins provide unambiguous real-time state reporting (charging, terminated, NTC fault, bad-battery) to host MCU. |
| Dynamic charge rate control | RNG/SS pin enables real-time current adjustment or soft-start via voltage or RC network - prevents inrush and supports adaptive charging. |
| Bad-battery detection | Triggers if battery fails to reach 5.8V within 22.5 min (1/8 of 3-hr timer) - halts charging and asserts FAULT to prevent unsafe operation. |

FAQ
What is the exact float voltage of the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF and how tightly is it regulated?
The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF delivers a nominal 8.4V float voltage with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature and line conditions. This specification ensures precise termination for 2-cell Li-ion batteries without overvoltage stress, and is achieved via a trimmed internal reference and low-drift error amplifier. The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF maintains this accuracy across –40°C to 85°C ambient, supporting reliable operation in industrial environments.
Can the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF be used with a 12V input supply, and what is the minimum startup voltage?
Yes, the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF operates from 9V to 32V input, making it compatible with standard 12V systems. Its minimum startup voltage is 11.5V - below which the device will not initiate switching unless the BOOST–SW differential exceeds 2V. For reliable 12V operation, ensure input stays above 11.5V under load, and use adequate input capacitance to suppress dips during high-current pulses. The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF remains functional down to 9V once running.
How does the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF implement bad-battery detection, and what happens when it triggers?
The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF detects bad batteries by monitoring whether the battery voltage reaches 5.8V during preconditioning within one-eighth of the programmed timer duration (e.g., 22.5 minutes for a 3-hour timer). If not, it asserts FAULT low and halts charging. The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF also auto-resets upon battery replacement - a new charge cycle starts immediately when a valid battery is inserted, provided SHDN is high and NTC is in range.
Does the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF support automatic recharge, and at what threshold does it trigger?
Yes, the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF supports automatic recharge when the battery voltage drops 2.5% below its float voltage - i.e., from 8.4V to 8.2V. This behavior is inherent and requires no external components. Once triggered, the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF exits standby mode and initiates a full CC/CV cycle. The 2.5% hysteresis prevents oscillation and ensures stable re-entry into charging.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF?
The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF uses a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13 = SGND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W. To achieve rated performance, the exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias. The LT3650IMSE-8.4#PBF junction temperature must remain ≤125°C under all operating conditions.
