Product details
Overview
LTC4059EDC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 900mA linear Li-ion battery charger IC with thermal regulation, constant-current/constant-voltage operation, and integrated power FET - designed for USB-powered portable devices. It delivers precise 4.2V ±0.6% float voltage, supports programmable charge current up to 900mA via single PROG resistor, and operates from 3.75V to 8V input supply. Used in cellular phones and wireless PDAs where compact size and thermal safety are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4059EDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC4059EDC#TRPBF application, or LTC4059EDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2mm × 2mm DFN package, absence of external MOSFET/sense resistor/blocking diode, thermal feedback limiting at ~115°C, Li CC pin enabling Ni-based battery charging, and shutdown current of 10µA.
Technical Context
The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF implements a three-loop control architecture: constant-current (CA), constant-voltage (VA), and constant-temperature (TA). The TA loop activates when junction temperature approaches 115°C, reducing charge current to maintain thermal safety without external intervention. Its internal P-channel power FET (RON = 800–1200 mΩ) eliminates need for external pass device.
Charge termination is managed via EN pin (manual shutdown threshold: 0.3–1.2 V) or input removal; PROG pin serves dual role - programming current (IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG) and monitoring real-time current. The Li CC pin disables voltage regulation to enable constant-current source mode for Ni-based batteries - a feature exclusive to LTC4059 (not LTC4059A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | Fixed 4.2V ±0.6% - ensures safe full-charge state for standard single-cell Li-ion without overvoltage risk. |
| Max Charge Current | Programmable up to 900mA - set by single external resistor on PROG pin; enables fast charging within USB power limits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.75V to 8V - compatible with USB 5V and wall adapters; includes undervoltage lockout (100–200mV hysteresis). |
| Thermal Regulation Threshold | Junction temperature limit ~115°C - automatically reduces charge current to prevent overheating on PCBs with limited thermal mass. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 10µA typical - minimizes system standby power loss when EN pin is asserted. |
| Battery Drain Current (Shutdown) | <1µA - preserves battery capacity during long idle periods in portable equipment. |
| Package | 6-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN (DC6), 0.75mm height - ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-constrained handhelds. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead plastic DFN (2mm × 2mm), exposed pad (Pin 7) tied to GND and required to be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA ≈ 60°C/W with proper layout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 7) | Ground reference and thermal pad | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane; failure causes >100% increase in thermal resistance. |
| Li CC (Pin 2) | Constant-current mode enable/disable | Pulling above 0.92V disables CV mode, forcing pure CC output - essential for NiCd/NiMH charging. |
| BAT (Pin 3) | Battery charge output and voltage sense | Delivers regulated current; internal 4.2V divider sets float voltage; disconnects in shutdown to minimize drain. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 3.75–8V; bypass with ≥1µF capacitor; UVLO triggers when VCC − VBAT < 150mV. |
| PROG (Pin 5) | Current programming and monitoring | Sets IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG; VPROG = 1.21V in CC mode - enables real-time current measurement. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | Pulling above 0.92V forces shutdown (10µA ICC, <1µA IBAT); default-active when grounded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated P-channel power FET | Eliminates need for external MOSFET, sense resistor, or blocking diode - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| Thermal feedback regulation | Automatically throttles charge current above ~115°C junction temperature - enables robust operation without heatsinks. |

FAQ
What is the function of the Li CC pin on the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF?
The Li CC pin on the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF disables constant-voltage regulation when pulled above 0.92V, converting the IC into a precision constant-current source - enabling direct charging of NiCd/NiMH batteries. This feature is exclusive to the LTC4059 (not present on LTC4059A variants) and requires no external circuitry. The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF uses this pin to deliver up to 900mA CC output with tight current accuracy.
Does the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
No, the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF requires only two external components for full operation: a single resistor from PROG to GND to set charge current, and a 1µF capacitor from VCC to GND for input bypassing. It integrates the power FET, voltage reference, and thermal regulation circuitry - eliminating need for external MOSFETs, sense resistors, or blocking diodes. This minimizes BOM cost and PCB area in designs using the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF.
How does thermal regulation work in the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF?
The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF 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 independently of input voltage or battery state, ensuring safe operation even under high ambient temperatures or poor PCB thermal design. The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF maintains this behavior without external components or configuration.
What is the maximum charge current achievable with the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF?
The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF supports programmable charge current up to 900mA, set by the value of the external resistor connected from the PROG pin to GND using the formula IBAT = 1000 × VPROG/RPROG (where VPROG = 1.21V in CC mode). At 900mA, the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF delivers full current only when thermal conditions permit - otherwise it folds back automatically to maintain ~115°C junction temperature.
Is the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF compatible with USB 2.0 power specifications?
Yes, the LTC4059EDC#TRPBF is explicitly designed for USB 2.0 compliance: it operates from 5V input, draws ≤500mA in standard USB mode, and includes undervoltage lockout to prevent backfeed. Its 2mm × 2mm DFN package and zero-external-FET architecture meet USB portability and size constraints. The LTC4059EDC#TRPBF also supports higher-current wall adapters (up to 8V) while remaining USB-compatible in dual-input configurations.
