Product details
Overview
LTC4001EUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2A synchronous buck Li-ion battery charger IC for single-cell 4.2V systems, featuring integrated MOSFETs, ±0.5% float voltage accuracy, remote battery sensing, and thermistor-based temperature qualification. It operates from 4V–5.5V input and targets handheld computing and mobile charging docks.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4001EUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC4001EUF#TRPBF application, or LTC4001EUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include programmable 2A charge current via PROG resistor, IDET-based end-of-charge detection, automatic recharge at 4.1V, NTC thermistor interface for 0°C–50°C qualified charging, and 16-lead 4mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC4001EUF#TRPBF implements a constant-current/constant-voltage charging algorithm using a 1.5MHz synchronous buck converter with internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 127mΩ / 121mΩ). It integrates Kelvin-sense inputs (BATSENS/GNDSENS) for accurate battery voltage regulation and supports trickle-charge mode below 3.1V.
Charge termination is configurable via external TIMER capacitor (0.0733µF/hr), IDET threshold resistor, or EN pin control. Temperature qualification uses dual comparators on the NTC pin with 3°C hysteresis per trip point, and fault signaling is provided through open-drain CHRG and FAULT pins with defined blink patterns for thermal events.
Key Specifications

| Float Voltage | 4.2V ±0.5% (4.158V–4.242V); ensures safe, compliant Li-ion cell termination without overvoltage stress. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 1.5MHz typical; allows compact 1.5µH inductor and low-profile ceramic input/output capacitors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 5.5V; compatible with standard USB-powered wall adapters and 5V supply rails. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction shutdown at ~160°C; resumes operation at ~150°C; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |

| Trickle Charge Threshold | 3.1V (rising), 3.0V (falling); initiates 50mA linear pre-charge for deeply discharged batteries. |
Pinout & Package
16-lead (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = PGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical reference.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BAT (1) | Battery output terminal | Kelvin-connected to battery anode; requires 10µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for ripple suppression. |
| SENSE (2) | Internal sense node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; must be routed with minimal loop area. |
| PGND (3) | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch and battery discharge; separate from signal ground. |
| GNDSENS (4) | Ground sense reference | Kelvin connection to battery cathode; establishes precision voltage reference for BATSENS regulation. |
| SW (5) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-MOSFETs; connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| EN (6) | Enable control input | Pull low for normal operation; pull high to reduce IIN to <50µA and BAT leakage to <3µA. |
| CHRG (7) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain output: low during charge, weak 30µA pull-down near EOC, high-Z after timeout or fault. |
| PVIN (8) | Main power input | Connects to 4V–5.5V source; decouple with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| VINSENSE (9) | Input voltage sense | Reference for UVLO and sleep mode; tie directly to PVIN capacitor; enables automatic shutdown when VIN − VBAT < 250mV. |
| FAULT (10) | Fault status output | Logic-high indicates shorted cell, thermal fault (NTC out-of-range), or overtemperature event. |
| NTC (11) | Thermistor interface | Accepts voltage divider from NTC to GNDSENS and RNOM to VINSENSE; enables 0°C–50°C qualified charging. |
| PROG (12) | Charge current programming | 1.213V reference; sets IBAT = 1110kΩ / RPROG; 549Ω yields ~2A. |
| IDET (13) | End-of-charge detection | 1.213V reference; sets IDET threshold = 91.5kΩ / RIDET; 549Ω yields ~200mA (C/10 for 2Ah). |
| SS (14) | Soft-start/compensation | 12.8µA ramp current; 0.1µF capacitor gives ~10ms soft-start; also compensates CV and CC loops. |
| TIMER (15) | Charge timeout control | Capacitor-to-GNDSENS sets time: CTIMER = Time(hr) × 0.0733µF; connect to IDET to disable timer. |
| BATSENS (16) | Battery voltage sense | Internal 4.2V reference divider; Kelvin-connected to battery anode; disconnected in sleep/EN=H to minimize drain. |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended charge current for the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF?
The LTC4001EUF#TRPBF supports a maximum programmed charge current of 2A, achieved with a 549Ω resistor from PROG to GNDSENS. Exceeding this value risks violating the device's internal current limits and may trigger overcurrent protection or reduce long-term reliability due to increased junction temperature.
Does the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF require an external blocking diode?
No, the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF does not require an external blocking diode. Its internal architecture includes input short-circuit protection and automatic shutdown when VIN falls below VBAT by more than 250mV, eliminating reverse current flow and associated power loss.
How is battery temperature qualification implemented in the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF?
The LTC4001EUF#TRPBF implements battery temperature qualification via its NTC pin, which monitors a voltage divider formed by an NTC thermistor and a bias resistor. Charging halts if the thermistor voltage exceeds 0.74×VIN (cold fault) or drops below 0.29×VIN (hot fault), with ~3°C hysteresis per comparator to prevent oscillation.
Can the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF operate from a 4.2V input source?
Yes, the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF operates from 4V to 5.5V, so a 4.2V input is within specification. However, at 4.2V input and 4.2V battery voltage, the automatic shutdown condition (VIN − VBAT < 250mV) will activate, disabling charging-thus minimum practical input is ~4.45V for reliable operation near full battery.
What happens to the CHRG pin during a temperature fault on the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF?
During a temperature fault, the CHRG pin on the LTC4001EUF#TRPBF blinks at ~1.5Hz (667ms period) with 20µs-wide serrations, providing both visual LED indication and fast microprocessor interrupt capability. This behavior occurs only while high-rate charging is active and the FAULT pin remains logic-high.
