Product details
Overview
LTC1760IFW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual smart battery system manager IC implementing SMBus Level 3 charger/selector functionality for portable systems with two smart batteries. It features ±0.2% voltage/current accuracy referenced to battery-reported values, autonomous PowerPath™ switching (<10 µs), and simultaneous charging/discharging capability in a 48-lead TSSOP package. It is used in high-reliability portable computers requiring seamless AC/battery switchover and extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1760IFW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1760IFW#TRPBF application, or LTC1760IFW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-battery SMBus arbitration support, programmable charge current/voltage limits via ILIMIT/VLIMIT pins, thermistor-based SafetySignal monitoring, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF integrates three independent SMBus interfaces - one host-facing (SCL/SDA), and two battery-facing (SCL1/SDA1, SCL2/SDA2) - enabling real-time servoing of charge parameters to internal battery measurements. Its proprietary PowerPath architecture uses six P-channel MOSFET gate drivers (GDCO/GDCI, GB1O/GB1I, GB2O/GB2I) to manage power routing between DCIN, BAT1, and BAT2 without interruption.
It implements all SMBus Charger V1.1 safety features including overvoltage shutdown (107% of programmed voltage), short-circuit detection (90–115 mV threshold), and autonomous emergency switching triggered by LOPWR/DCDIV comparators. Charging regulation is achieved via a synchronous buck converter controlled by TGATE/BGATE/BOOST/SW pins, with inner-loop current control on ITH and outer-loop voltage feedback via VSET.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart battery management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24725ARSMR | Single-battery SMBus charger; lacks dual-battery arbitration, PowerPath switching, and SafetySignal thermistor interface | Designed for single-battery notebooks; cannot replace LTC1760IFW#TRPBF in dual-battery topologies | Select only if system uses one smart battery and requires lower BOM cost |
| ISL9237HRZ-T | Supports dual batteries but uses I²C (not SMBus), lacks autonomous PowerPath switching, and has no integrated SMBus accelerator | Targeted at embedded systems with host-controlled power management; requires external MCU for switchover logic | Choose when SMBus compliance is not required and host firmware can handle timing-critical switching |
Compared with BQ24725ARSMR and ISL9237HRZ-T, the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF uniquely delivers true dual-SMBus arbitration, sub-10 µs autonomous PowerPath switching, and SafetySignal-compliant thermistor monitoring - making it irreplaceable in high-availability dual-battery systems demanding zero-interruption operation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF?
The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature (I-grade). This specification is guaranteed per datasheet Note 6 and validated across process corners and silicon lots. The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF achieves this range via enhanced thermal design and screening, distinguishing it from the C-grade version (0°C to 85°C). Applications requiring extended environmental tolerance - such as industrial handhelds or outdoor telecom equipment - rely on this rating for sustained reliability.
How does the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF achieve ±0.2% charging accuracy?
The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF achieves ±0.2% voltage and current accuracy by servoing directly to the Voltage() and Current() values reported by the smart battery's internal fuel gauge IC over SMBus - not to terminal measurements. This eliminates errors from IR drops, connector resistance, and cable losses. The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF reads these values every second (tQUERY = 1 sec) and adjusts its buck regulator accordingly. Accuracy is confirmed in Electrical Characteristics table under VTOL (±32 mV) and ITOL (±2–8 mA), referenced to battery-reported data.
Can the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF operate without an SMBus host controller?
Yes, the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF supports fully autonomous operation without an SMBus host. It implements all SMBus Charger V1.1 safety features - including overvoltage shutdown, short-circuit protection, and thermal monitoring - and executes wake-up charging, controlled charging, and PowerPath switching independently. The MODE pin and VDDS supply configure standalone behavior, and the device maintains valid SMBus responses on SCL/SDA even when disconnected from a host, enabling compatibility with legacy or minimal-host designs.
What is the purpose of the SafetySignal function in the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF?
The SafetySignal function in the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF monitors thermistor networks on both batteries using TH1A/TH1B and TH2A/TH2B pins to detect temperature excursions and open-circuit faults. It implements the Smart Battery System SafetySignal protocol, reporting cold, hot, under-range, and over-range conditions to the host via SMBus. This enables real-time thermal protection and battery disconnection detection - critical for UL/IEC 62133 compliance. The LTC1760IFW#TRPBF validates thermistor resistances against four trip thresholds (e.g., 95–105 kΩ for cold-range) per datasheet Table on page 6.
Does the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF support simultaneous charging of both batteries?
Yes, the LTC1760IFW#TRPBF supports true simultaneous charging of both batteries using its integrated dual-charge MUX (SCH1/GCH1 and SCH2/GCH2) and buck regulator. Unlike sequential chargers, it routes charger output to BAT1 and BAT2 concurrently via back-to-back N-MOSFET pairs, enabling up to 50% faster full-charge times and >95% efficiency. This capability is confirmed in the Typical Application diagram (TA01), performance graphs (G03, G06), and Features list ("Low Loss Simultaneous Charging of Two Batteries").
