Product details
Overview
LTC4071IMS8E#PBF from Analog Devices is a Li-ion/polymer shunt battery charger IC with integrated low-battery disconnect, thermal battery qualification via NTC, and pin-selectable float voltage (4.0V/4.1V/4.2V) and disconnect thresholds (2.7V/3.2V). It operates from 550nA quiescent current, supports ≤50mA internal shunt current, and delivers near-zero leakage (<0.01nA) during battery disconnect - enabling energy harvesting, thin-film battery backup, and solar-powered memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF datasheet, LTC4071IMS8E#PBF pinout, LTC4071IMS8E#PBF application, or LTC4071IMS8E#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low ICCQ, programmable thermal float voltage adjustment (ΔVFLOAT(NTC) = 50/75/100mV per 10°C), CMOS HBO status output, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LTC4071IMS8E#PBF implements a shunt-based charging architecture where input current flows through an external resistor (RIN) into the battery via MP1's body diode until VCC reaches VLBC_VCC, then reconnects BAT to VCC via an internal PFET. Its 3-state ADJ pin decoder sets float voltage with ±1% accuracy over temperature, while pulsed NTCBIAS sampling (duty cycle < 0.002%) enables ultralow-power thermal qualification.
Low-battery protection uses dual hysteresis: VLBD (2.7V or 3.2V falling) triggers disconnect with <0.01nA leakage, and VLBC_BAT/VLBC_VCC (2.97V/3.53V or 3.6V/4.19V rising) re-enables connection. The HBO output asserts high when VCC rises within 15–75mV of VFLOAT_EFF and deasserts with 100mV hysteresis, reducing ICCQ to 550nA in low-power mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (Pin 9) requiring soldering to PCB ground for optimal θJA = 40°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NTCBIAS (Pin 1) | NTC bias reference | Pulsed 30–50pA sink; enables ultralow-power thermistor excitation without continuous current drain |
| NTC (Pin 2) | Thermistor input | Compares against internal divider taps (NTCTH1–NTCTH4) to trigger ΔVFLOAT(NTC) steps at 40/50/60/70°C |
| ADJ (Pin 3) | Float voltage select | 3-state logic: GND = 4.0V, floating = 4.1V, VCC = 4.2V; sampled every 1.2–3.6s to prevent leakage corruption |
| HBO (Pin 4) | High-battery status output | CMOS push-pull output; active-high when VCC ≥ VFLOAT_EFF – VHBTH; sinks 1mA / sources 0.5mA |
| LBSEL (Pin 5) | Low-battery threshold select | GND = 3.2V disconnect, VCC = 2.7V disconnect; must be hard-wired, not floated |
| GND (Pin 6 + Exposed Pad 9) | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad is electrically isolated but thermally critical; must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| BAT (Pin 7) | Battery terminal | Sources VCC load current when no input supply present; disconnects at VLBD to protect battery |
| VCC (Pin 8) | System power rail | Regulated output (4.0/4.1/4.2V); sinks up to 50mA; requires ≥0.1µF decoupling capacitor |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt battery charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1555 | Linear charger with 100mA max current; no NTC qualification; fixed 4.2V float; 25µA quiescent current | Requires external thermal management; unsuitable for energy harvesting due to 45× higher ICCQ | Select MAX1555 only for high-current, non-thermal-critical applications with stable wall adapters |
| BQ29700 | Li-ion protector IC only (no charging function); 1.5µA ICCQ; fixed 2.5V/3.0V disconnect; no float voltage regulation | Must pair with separate charger; lacks integrated shunt regulation and HBO status output | Choose BQ29700 only when adding standalone protection to existing charger designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum shunt current capability of the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF?
The LTC4071IMS8E#PBF supports up to 50mA of internal shunt current. This value is specified under conditions where VCC exceeds the programmed float voltage and represents the maximum current the device can divert away from the battery to maintain regulation. It is independent of external resistor value but determines the upper bound of charge current in RIN-limited configurations. Exceeding this limit risks thermal overload or regulation failure.
How does the NTC qualification affect the float voltage in the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF?
The LTC4071IMS8E#PBF reduces the effective float voltage (VFLOAT_EFF) in discrete 50mV, 75mV, or 100mV steps per 10°C rise above 40°C, depending on the ADJ pin state (GND/floating/VCC). For example, with ADJ = VCC and battery temperature rising from 40°C to 65°C, VFLOAT_EFF drops from 4.200V to 4.000V. This behavior is calibrated for Vishay NTHS0402N02N1002F thermistors and directly extends battery cycle life under thermal stress.
Can the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF be used with batteries other than Li-ion or Li-polymer?
No - the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF is specifically designed and characterized for single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. Its float voltage range (4.0–4.2V), low-battery thresholds (2.7V/3.2V), and NTC qualification algorithm assume the voltage-temperature profile of these chemistries. Using it with NiMH, LiFePO₄, or lead-acid batteries would result in incorrect charging, premature disconnect, or thermal mismanagement.
What is the purpose of the HBO pin on the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF?
The HBO (High Battery Output) pin on the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF is a CMOS-compatible status indicator that goes high when VCC rises to within 15–75mV of the effective float voltage (VFLOAT_EFF), signaling near-full charge. It asserts with 100mV hysteresis to reject noise and transitions low when VCC falls more than VHBTH + VHBHY below VFLOAT_EFF. This enables host systems to optimize power states or log charge events without polling.
Does the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF require external components beyond RIN?
Yes - while only one external resistor (RIN) is required for basic shunt charging, the LTC4071IMS8E#PBF needs a minimum 0.1µF decoupling capacitor on VCC, plus optional components for NTC sensing (10kΩ bias resistor + thermistor) and LBSEL/ADJ pull-up/down. For solar applications, a series diode may be added to prevent reverse current. No external FET, op-amp, or voltage reference is needed due to its fully integrated architecture.
