Product details
Overview
LTC4009IUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down constant-current/constant-voltage battery charger controller for multi-chemistry batteries. It delivers ±0.5% float voltage accuracy, 4% charge current accuracy, and operates at 550kHz with no audible noise using ceramic capacitors. Designed for notebook computers and portable instruments, it supports wide input (6V–28V) and output (2V–28V) voltage ranges while enabling external microcontroller-based charge termination.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4009IUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC4009IUF#TRPBF application, or LTC4009IUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its I-grade industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), programmable AC adapter current limiting (±3% accuracy), analog charge current monitoring via PROG pin, and thermally enhanced 20-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC4009IUF#TRPBF implements current-mode PWM control with a 550kHz quasi-constant frequency architecture, using an external inductor and dual N-channel MOSFETs (driven by TGATE/BGATE) to regulate charge current and battery voltage. Its error amplifier compares VFB (1.2085V reference) against a resistor-divider feedback signal and integrates adapter current limit (CLP–CLN) and charge current (PROG) inputs to generate ITH-controlled peak current thresholds.
It features three open-drain status outputs-CHRG (triple-state: strong pull-down, 25µA weak pull-down, high-Z), ACP (AC present), and ICL (input current limit active)-all referenced to INTVDD and compatible with 3.3V/5V logic. Shutdown is controlled by SHDN (active-low, 300mV threshold) and DCDIV (1.2V AC-present detection), with micropower operation (<215µA shutdown current) and thermal protection up to 125°C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4009CUF#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout, but C-grade (0°C to 85°C) temperature range and higher VBAT accuracy tolerance (±0.8% vs ±0.5%) | Suitable for commercial-grade notebooks and consumer portables not requiring extended temperature operation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temperature needs and system thermal design stays within 0°C–85°C ambient |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF?
The LTC4009IUF#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature operation, with guaranteed performance across the full industrial temperature range. This specification is validated per Linear Technology's I-grade qualification standards and enables deployment in harsh environments such as enclosed industrial terminals or automotive-adjacent portable equipment where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
How does the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF implement charge current monitoring?
The LTC4009IUF#TRPBF provides analog charge current monitoring via the PROG pin, which outputs a linear voltage (0–1.2V) proportional to actual charge current. This is derived from the instantaneous VSENSE/RIN signal averaged by external CPROG and scaled by RPROG. The LTC4009IUF#TRPBF datasheet specifies ±4% accuracy, making it suitable for closed-loop MCU-based charge control without additional current-sense amplifiers.
Can the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF be used for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery charging?
Yes, the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF supports LiFePO4 charging through its fully programmable float voltage range (2V–28V) and external resistor divider on VFB. For a typical 4-cell LiFePO4 pack (14.6V nominal), setting VFB to 3.65V/cell via the divider achieves precise regulation. The LTC4009IUF#TRPBF's lack of built-in termination allows full firmware control over CC/CV transition, top-off, and safety cutoff-essential for LiFePO4's flat voltage curve.
What is the purpose of the FBDIV pin on the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF?
The FBDIV pin on the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF is an open-drain PFET output that connects the BAT node to the external resistor divider network during charging. This ensures the VFB input sees a stable, low-impedance reference directly from the battery, improving voltage regulation accuracy by eliminating divider loading errors. It is inactive (high-Z) during shutdown or when charging is disabled, isolating the divider from BAT.
Does the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF require external MOSFETs, and what are the gate drive requirements?
Yes, the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF requires two external N-channel MOSFETs: one for the high-side switch (driven by TGATE) and one for synchronous rectification (driven by BGATE). TGATE is bootstrapped and supports gate voltages up to CLP + 5V; BGATE is referenced to GND and outputs 0–5V. Both drivers deliver fast rise/fall times (<110ns) and support logic-level FETs; recommended devices include SSB44 (high-side) and DMN3025L (low-side) per the LTC4009IUF#TRPBF demo board design.
