Product details
Overview
LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 900mA linear Li-ion battery charger IC with thermal regulation, fixed 4.2V float voltage (±0.6% accuracy), and open-drain ACPR status pin indicating input supply presence. It operates from 3.75V to 8V, requires no external MOSFET or sense resistor, and targets USB-powered portable devices including wireless headsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF pinout, LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF application, or LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2mm × 2mm DFN-6 package with exposed pad, programmable charge current up to 900mA via PROG pin, thermal foldback at ~115°C, shutdown current of 10µA, and ACPR pin functionality exclusive to the LTC4059A variant.
Technical Context
The LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF implements a constant-current/constant-voltage/constant-temperature charging algorithm using internal P-channel power FET and precision 1.21V reference. Its dual-loop feedback architecture separates CC (CA amplifier) and CV (VA amplifier) control, with transconductance amplifier TA enabling thermal regulation by reducing charge current when die temperature approaches 115°C.
It features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 150mV threshold and 115mV hysteresis, manual shutdown via EN pin (0.92V threshold), and PROG pin serving both current programming (IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG) and real-time current monitoring. The ACPR pin provides open-drain indication of valid input supply - pulled low when VCC exceeds UVLO threshold, high-impedance otherwise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current Range | Programmable up to 900mA via external resistor; enables fast charging of 800mAh Li-ion cells in under 2 hours. |
| Float Voltage Accuracy | 4.2V ±0.6% (4.175V–4.225V); ensures safe full-charge termination without overvoltage stress on single-cell Li-ion batteries. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.75V to 8V; supports direct USB 5V operation and higher-voltage wall adapters while maintaining compliance with USB power limits. |
| Thermal Regulation Threshold | Junction temperature limit ~115°C; automatically reduces charge current to prevent overheating on compact PCBs without forced airflow. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 10µA typical; minimizes system standby power loss when charging is disabled via EN pin or input removal. |
| ACPR Pin Function | Open-drain output indicating VCC presence above UVLO; allows host µP to detect adapter insertion without additional sensing circuitry. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 60°C/W (with exposed pad soldered); enables sustained 900mA charging at ambient ≤56°C on standard 2-layer board. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead, 2mm × 2mm plastic DFN (DC6) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7, GND). Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 7) | Ground reference and thermal path | Exposed pad (Pin 7) is mandatory GND connection; failure to solder degrades θJA >85°C/W and limits max current to <500mA. |
| ACPR (Pin 2) | Open-drain input supply status indicator | Pulled low when VCC > UVLO threshold (~150mV above VBAT); high-impedance when input absent or invalid - used for adapter detection. |
| BAT (Pin 3) | Charge current output and battery voltage regulation node | Delivers regulated 4.2V float voltage; internal precision divider sets voltage; disconnects in shutdown to minimize battery drain (<1µA). |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Main input supply voltage | Accepts 3.75V–8V; bypassed with ≥1µF capacitor; UVLO activates if VCC falls within 35mV of VBAT. |
| PROG (Pin 5) | Charge current programming and monitoring | 1.21V reference node; IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG; voltage proportional to actual charge current during all modes. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control input | Pull >0.92V to enter shutdown (10µA ICC, <1µA IBAT); default active-low; tie to GND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power FET | Eliminates need for external MOSFET, blocking diode, or sense resistor - reduces BOM count to two passive components (RPROG, CIN). |
| Thermal Foldback Protection | Automatically scales back charge current above ~115°C junction temperature - enables robust operation on space-constrained PCBs without heatsinks. |
| USB-Compatible Operation | Meets USB 2.0 power specifications with 5V input support and programmable current limiting - allows direct integration into USB-powered portable designs. |
| Accurate Float Voltage | 4.2V ±0.6% tolerance ensures Li-ion cell longevity and safety compliance without external trimming or calibration. |
| Low Quiescent Drain | <1µA battery current in shutdown or UVLO states - preserves battery charge during storage or long idle periods. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li-ion linear charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4054EDC#TRMPBF | Fixed 4.2V float, 400mA max charge current, no ACPR pin, same DFN-6 package. | Lacks input status indication and lower current capability - suitable only for low-power, cost-sensitive applications. | Select when 400mA suffices and ACPR functionality is unnecessary; not drop-in due to different PROG scaling and missing status pin. |
| BQ24075RGTR | 4.2V float, 1A max, integrated USB current limiting, STAT pin instead of ACPR, 16-pin QFN package. | Includes USB enumeration and input current regulation - better suited for host-controlled systems requiring compliance with USB suspend/resume. | Choose when USB port power negotiation or higher current is required; different pinout and layout incompatible with LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF footprint. |
Compared with LTC4054EDC#TRMPBF and BQ24075RGTR, the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF uniquely balances compact 2mm × 2mm footprint, 900mA capability, and dedicated ACPR status signaling - making it optimal for space-constrained, adapter-detection–enabled portable chargers where thermal regulation and minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum charge current supported by the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF?
The LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF supports a programmable charge current up to 900mA, set by an external resistor connected from the PROG pin to ground. At RPROG = 1.33kΩ, the device delivers 900mA (IBAT = 1000 × 1.21V / RPROG). This value assumes adequate thermal design - the IC will automatically reduce current if junction temperature approaches 115°C.
How does the ACPR pin on the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF function?
The ACPR pin on the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when VCC exceeds the undervoltage lockout threshold (typically ~150mV above VBAT), indicating valid input supply presence. When VCC drops below this threshold, ACPR enters high-impedance state. This allows simple µP-level detection of adapter insertion without additional circuitry - a feature exclusive to the LTC4059A variant.
Can the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF be used with batteries other than Li-ion?
No - the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF is specifically designed for single-cell Li-ion (or Li-polymer) batteries with a fixed 4.2V float voltage. It lacks the voltage flexibility or chemistry-specific termination algorithms needed for NiMH, NiCd, or LiFePO4 chemistries. For nickel-based batteries, the pin-compatible LTC4059 (not LTC4059A) supports constant-current mode via Li CC pin, but LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF omits this functionality.
What is the role of the exposed pad on the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 7) on the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA of 60°C/W. Without proper soldering, thermal resistance increases significantly (>85°C/W), causing premature thermal foldback and limiting usable charge current to under 500mA - directly impacting performance in high-ambient or high-power applications.
How does thermal regulation work in the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF?
Thermal regulation in the LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF uses an internal transconductance amplifier (TA) that monitors die temperature. When junction temperature approaches ~115°C, TA sources current into the PROG node, reducing the effective reference voltage seen by the constant-current loop. This causes automatic, continuous reduction of charge current until thermal equilibrium is reached - protecting the IC and PCB without requiring external thermal sensors or firmware intervention.
