Product details
Overview
LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-current/constant-voltage synchronous buck battery charger controller optimized for lithium-ion/polymer packs with 1–4 series cells. It delivers ±0.6% output voltage accuracy at 4.1V/cell, supports 6V–28V input and 2V–28V output ranges, and features programmable AC adapter current limiting with 3% accuracy-enabling high-efficiency charging in notebook computers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF application, or LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its pin-programmable 4.1V/cell float voltage, 550kHz quasi-constant-frequency PWM architecture (audible-noise-free with ceramic capacitors), analog charge current monitoring via PROG pin, and integrated ICL/CHRG/ACP status outputs for microcontroller-based charge management.
Technical Context
The LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF implements a current-mode synchronous buck topology with external NMOS power switches (TGATE/BGATE), using ITH as the peak-current control node and PROG as both charge current programming and linearized monitoring interface. Its dual-loop regulation simultaneously manages battery voltage (via FVS0/FVS1-selectable 4.1V/cell reference) and input current (via CLP/CLN differential sensing).
Unlike self-terminating chargers, it provides no built-in termination logic-requiring external MCU supervision for full charge algorithms. The device integrates a 5V INTVDD regulator, thermal shutdown, and adaptive soft-start triggered by CLP–BAT > 100mV and ITH threshold crossing, ensuring controlled inrush during wake-up from shutdown.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLN (1) | Current limit sense negative | Differential input referenced to CLP; sets 100mV threshold for input current limiting-must be filtered to reject switching noise. |
| CLP (2) | Current limit sense positive / power rail | Primary input power source (6V–28V); supplies internal circuits and defines ICL trip point relative to CLN. |
| DCIN (3) | Backup DC input | Secondary power path isolated from CLP by diode; used when adapter is disconnected but system load remains active. |
| ICL (4) | Open-drain current limit indicator | Active-low signal asserts when charge current is reduced due to input current limiting-enables real-time power budgeting. |
| DCDIV (5) | AC adapter presence comparator input | Resistor-divider input detecting adapter presence (1.2V threshold) and overvoltage (1.825V OVP)-supports automatic source selection. |
| SHDN (6) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled down internally (50kΩ); <300mV forces full shutdown, reducing battery leakage to <1.5µA. |
| ACP (7) | Open-drain adapter present indicator | Active-low output signaling valid adapter voltage-remains asserted across all operating states including shutdown. |
| CHRG (8) | Open-drain charge status indicator | Three-state output: strong pull-down (bulk charge), 25µA weak pull-down (C/10 detection), or high-Z (no charge)-directly interfaces with MCU GPIOs. |
| FVS0 (9) | Battery voltage select LSB | Digital input (GND/INTVDD) selecting 1S–4S output voltage; paired with FVS1 to configure 4.1V/cell for LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF. |
| FVS1 (10) | Battery voltage select MSB | Digital input (GND/INTVDD) completing 2-bit voltage selection-FVS1=0V, FVS0=0V configures 4.1V/cell mode. |
| BAT (11) | Battery pack connection | High-side sensing node for PWM control; voltage range up to 28V supports 4S Li-ion (16.8V) and higher-voltage backup systems. |
| ITH (12) | PWM current control node | Analog voltage setting peak inductor current threshold; external RC network provides loop compensation for stability. |
| PROG (13) | Charge current programming & monitor | Resistor-to-GND sets max charge current; voltage linearly tracks actual current (11.67µA/mV)-enables real-time telemetry without ADC. |
| CSN (14) | Current sense negative input | Connects to low-side of RSENSE; operates within (BAT – 50mV) to (BAT + 200mV)-supports high-side or low-side sensing layouts. |
| CSP (15) | Current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of RSENSE; matched with CSN for accurate differential sensing of RSENSE voltage drop. |
| BGATE (16) | Synchronous rectifier gate driver | Drives NMOS bottom-FET in buck converter; improves efficiency >5% vs. diode rectification-requires bootstrap capacitor on BOOST. |
| INTVDD (17) | Internal 5V regulator output | Supplies TGATE/BGATE drivers; shuts down during SHDN-can power external bias circuits if current ≤20mA. |
| SW (18) | Switch node | Connection point between external inductor and power FETs; critical for EMI layout-requires minimum copper area and short traces. |
| TGATE (19) | Top-FET gate driver | Drives NMOS high-side switch; rail-to-rail swing (GND to CLN+5V) enables full enhancement of discrete MOSFETs. |
| BOOST (20) | TGATE bootstrap supply | Bootstrap capacitor node (INTVDD to SW); sustains TGATE drive during high-side conduction-requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| GND (21) | Exposed thermal pad | Primary ground reference for analog circuits and thermal path-must be soldered to ≥2cm² PCB copper for thermal compliance. |

FAQ
What battery chemistries does the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF support?
The LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF supports any rechargeable chemistry-including lithium-ion, lithium-polymer, LiFePO₄, nickel-metal hydride, and sealed lead-acid-because it lacks built-in charge termination logic. Its 4.1V/cell output is optimized for Li-ion/LiPo, but the full 2V–28V output range and external MCU supervision enable safe charging of alternative chemistries with custom algorithm control.
How is the 4.1V/cell output configured on the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF?
The LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF uses pins FVS0 (Pin 9) and FVS1 (Pin 10) to select its output voltage. For 4.1V/cell operation, both FVS0 and FVS1 must be tied to GND. This configuration is factory-trimmed and verified across temperature-no external resistors or calibration are needed to achieve ±0.6% accuracy.
Does the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF include integrated power MOSFETs?
No, the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF is a controller-only IC with external gate drivers (TGATE and BGATE). It requires discrete NMOS transistors for the high-side and synchronous rectifier switches. This architecture enables higher efficiency, thermal flexibility, and voltage scalability beyond integrated solutions-supporting up to 28V battery voltages.
What is the purpose of the PROG pin on the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF?
The PROG pin on the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF serves two critical functions: (1) it sets maximum charge current via an external resistor to GND, and (2) it provides a linear voltage output (11.67µA/mV) proportional to actual charge current-enabling real-time monitoring without additional sensing circuitry. This dual role simplifies design and reduces component count.
Can the LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF operate without an external microcontroller?
The LTC4009CUF-1#TRPBF can perform basic CC/CV charging autonomously but cannot complete a full charge cycle without external supervision. It lacks built-in termination (e.g., timer cutoff, voltage plateau detection, or temperature monitoring), so an MCU or dedicated state machine is required to interpret CHRG/ICL signals and execute end-of-charge logic for safety and longevity.
