Product details
Overview
LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 900mA constant-current/constant-voltage linear Li-ion battery charger IC for single-cell 4.2V batteries, featuring thermal regulation, programmable charge current up to 900mA, ±0.6% float voltage accuracy, and integrated power FET-no external MOSFET, sense resistor, or blocking diode required. It targets USB-powered portable electronics including wireless headsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF pinout, LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF application, or LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2mm × 2mm DFN package, 3.75V–8V input range, 10µA shutdown supply current, Li-Ion/Ni-based dual-chemistry support via Li CC pin, and thermal feedback limiting at ~115°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF implements a three-loop control architecture-constant-current (CA), constant-voltage (VA), and constant-temperature (TA)-with transconductance amplifier TA actively reducing charge current when die temperature approaches 115°C. Its internal P-channel power FET (RON = 800–1200mΩ) enables direct USB charging without external pass components.
Charge current is set by a single resistor (RPROG) from PROG to GND, with IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG; VPROG is regulated to 1.21V in CC mode. The Li CC pin disables CV mode to enable precision constant-current sourcing for Ni-based battery charging-a function absent in the LTC4059A variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current Range | Programmable up to 900mA via RPROG; enables fast charging of 800mAh Li-ion cells in under 2 hours. |
| Float Voltage Accuracy | 4.2V ±0.6% (4.158V–4.242V); ensures safe, full-state-of-charge without overvoltage stress on cell. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.75V to 8V; supports direct USB 5V and wall adapters up to 8V without external regulation. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 10µA max; minimizes system standby power loss when charging is disabled. |
| Junction Temp Limit | Thermal regulation activates at ~115°C; dynamically reduces charge current to prevent overheating on compact PCBs. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 60°C/W (with exposed pad soldered); requires PCB ground plane connection for full 900mA capability. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | VCC–VBAT threshold = 100–200mV; prevents charging when input is insufficient, reducing battery drain to <1µA. |
Pinout & Package
6-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7, GND). Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. Pin 1 marked with bar; top marking "LAFU".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 7) | Ground reference & thermal path | Exposed pad (Pin 7) is mandatory GND connection; failure to solder degrades θJA to >85°C/W and limits max current to <500mA. |
| Li CC (Pin 2) | Constant-current mode enable | Pulling above 0.92V disables CV regulation, forcing pure CC output-enables NiCd/NiMH charging with fixed current source behavior. |
| BAT (Pin 3) | Charge current output & voltage regulation node | Direct connection to battery anode; internal 4.2V precision divider regulates float voltage; disconnects in shutdown. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Main power input | Accepts 3.75V–8V; bypass with ≥1µF capacitor; UVLO triggers when VCC falls within 35mV of VBAT. |
| PROG (Pin 5) | Current programming & monitoring | 1.21V reference in CC mode; IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG; voltage proportional to real-time charge current. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Manual shutdown control | Pulling above 0.92V (with 85mV hysteresis) forces shutdown, reducing ICC to 10µA and IBAT to <1µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated power FET | Eliminates need for external MOSFET, sense resistor, or blocking diode-reduces BOM count to two passive components (RPROG + input cap). |
| Thermal regulation loop | Active current reduction at ~115°C junction temp; allows aggressive layout without derating-supports 900mA at 56°C ambient (5V/3.7V). |
| Li CC pin functionality | Enables dual-chemistry operation: Li-ion CV+CC charging or Ni-based constant-current sourcing-no firmware or external logic needed. |
| USB-compliant operation | Meets USB 2.0 power spec: operates from 5V, draws <500mA default, supports programmable current up to 900mA with host negotiation. |
| Low-power shutdown | 10µA VCC supply current and <1µA battery drain in shutdown-critical for long-term storage in portable devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear Li-ion charging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF | Replaces Li CC pin with ACPR (open-drain input status indicator); lacks Ni-chemistry constant-current sourcing capability. | Suitable where input presence detection is prioritized over multi-chemistry flexibility; not usable for NiCd/NiMH charging. | Select LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF only if ACPR status reporting is required and Ni-chemistry charging is unnecessary. |
| LTC4054ES5#TRMPBF | 500mA fixed-current, SOT-23-5 package, no PROG pin or current monitoring; lacks Li CC pin and thermal regulation headroom. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-power devices; cannot support >500mA or thermal-aware high-current designs. | Choose LTC4054ES5#TRMPBF only for sub-500mA applications where board area and BOM simplicity outweigh programmability and thermal margin. |
Compared with LTC4059AEDC#TRMPBF, the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF provides unique Ni-chemistry charging capability but omits input-status signaling; versus LTC4054ES5#TRMPBF, it delivers 80% higher current, full thermal regulation, and real-time current monitoring-making it suitable for thermally constrained, high-throughput portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum charge current supported by the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF?
The LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF supports a programmable charge current up to 900mA, set by the value of the external RPROG resistor connected from the PROG pin to GND. At RPROG = 1.33kΩ, the device delivers 900mA; higher resistance values reduce current linearly. This maximum is achievable only with proper thermal management-including soldering the exposed pad to a PCB ground plane.
Does the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF support charging Nickel-based batteries?
Yes, the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF supports NiCd/NiMH charging via its Li CC pin (Pin 2). When pulled above 0.92V, the Li CC pin disables constant-voltage regulation and configures the IC as a precision constant-current source. This feature is exclusive to the LTC4059 (not the LTC4059A) and enables direct Ni-chemistry charging without external current-sense circuitry.
How does thermal regulation work in the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF?
The LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF uses an internal transconductance amplifier (TA) that monitors die temperature and begins reducing charge current when junction temperature approaches ~115°C. This constant-temperature loop operates alongside CC/CV loops, automatically lowering IBAT to maintain safe thermal operation-enabling reliable 900mA charging even in compact enclosures without forced airflow.
What is the purpose of the PROG pin on the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF?
The PROG pin on the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF serves dual functions: (1) it sets charge current via RPROG (IBAT = 1000 × 1.21V / RPROG), and (2) it provides real-time current monitoring-VPROG remains at 1.21V in CC mode and scales linearly with actual IBAT in CV mode. This enables gas gauging and charge termination detection without additional components.
Can the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF be used with USB 2.0 ports?
Yes, the LTC4059EDC#TRMPBF is explicitly designed for USB 2.0 compliance. It operates from 5V input, draws ≤500mA by default, and supports programmable currents up to 900mA when negotiated via host-controlled VCC configuration. Its 3.75V–8V input range also accommodates USB-C PD and wall adapters, making it suitable for dual-input portable systems.
