Product details
Overview
LTC4080EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic Li-ion battery charger IC with integrated 300mA synchronous buck converter, designed for USB-compliant portable systems. It delivers 500mA constant-current/4.2V constant-voltage charging with thermal regulation, 4.5-hour safety timer, and C/10 charge termination detection - enabling compact, thermally robust power management in wireless headsets and Bluetooth audio devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4080EMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC4080EMSE#PBF pinout, LTC4080EMSE#PBF application, or LTC4080EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-function architecture (charger + regulator), BAT-powered buck input range (2.7V–4.5V), MODE-selectable Burst Mode® (23µA no-load IQ) vs PWM (2.25MHz), and MSOP-10 exposed-pad thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC4080EMSE#PBF integrates two independent power subsystems: a linear CC/CV charger with thermal feedback loop (TA amplifier limiting at ~115°C) and a BAT-fed synchronous buck converter featuring selectable operating modes via MODE pin. Its PROG pin servo voltage (1.0V ±2%) directly programs charge current up to 500mA with 5% accuracy, while FB pin (0.80V ±2%) sets buck output from 0.8V to VBAT.
Charge control uses three parallel feedback loops (CA for current, VA for voltage, TA for temperature), prioritized by diode steering to ensure safe transition between CC, CV, and CT modes. The buck converter employs internal PMOS/NMOS switches (RON_P = 0.95Ω, RON_N = 0.85Ω) and supports burst-mode operation below ~1mA load to achieve 23µA no-load battery current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current | Up to 500mA with ±5% accuracy; set by external RPROG resistor (e.g., 806Ω → 500mA) |
| Float Voltage | 4.2V ±0.5% (4.179V–4.221V); regulated via internal precision divider from BAT pin |
| Buck Output Range | 0.8V to VBAT; adjustable via external FB resistor divider; 1.8V/300mA typical application |
| Buck Input Range | 2.7V–4.5V; sourced directly from BAT pin - eliminates need for separate regulator input rail |
| Quiescent Current | 5µA shutdown (both charger & buck off); 23µA no-load in Burst Mode; 110–300µA active charger only |
| Thermal Regulation | Active junction temperature limit at ~115°C; reduces charge current dynamically without shutdown |
| Safety Timer | 4.5-hour fixed termination (3–6 hrs range); prevents overcharge during fault or low-battery conditions |
Pinout & Package
LTC4080EMSE#PBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (pin 11 = GND), 3.0mm × 3.0mm footprint, 0.75mm profile, and θJA = 40°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BAT (1) | Charge output & buck input | Delivers regulated 4.2V to battery; powers buck stage; requires low-ESR decoupling capacitor |
| VCC (2) | Charger supply input | 3.75–5.5V USB-compatible input; UVLO at 3.6V rising / 3.0V falling |
| EN_CHRG (3) | Charger enable/disable | Pull >1.2V to disable; default-active (tie to GND if unused); controls full charger shutdown |
| PROG (4) | Charge current programming | Servo voltage = 1.0V; IBAT = 400 × VPROG/RPROG; enables real-time current monitoring |
| ACPR (5) | Power status indicator | Open-drain; pulls low when VCC > 3.6V AND (VCC – VBAT) > 82mV - confirms valid charging conditions |
| CHRG (6) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain; pulldown = charging; high-Z = C/10 reached or timer expired; 2Hz pulse = defective battery |
| FB (7) | Buck feedback input | Servo voltage = 0.80V; sets VOUT via external resistor divider; determines regulation accuracy |
| MODE (8) | Buck operating mode select | Tie to VBAT for Burst Mode (23µA IQ); tie to GND for PWM (2.25MHz); must not float |
| EN_BUCK (9) | Buck enable/disable | High = enable; low = shutdown; independent of charger state; controls 300mA output delivery |
| SW (10) | Buck switch node | Connects to inductor; requires minimal trace length and proximity to L1 for EMI/efficiency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charger + buck converter | Single-chip solution eliminates discrete regulator and reduces BOM count by ≥6 components |
| USB-compliant input interface | Meets USB 2.0 voltage/current specs (5V±5%, 500mA max) with automatic UVLO and UVCL protection |
| Thermal feedback charge control | Dynamic current reduction at ~115°C prevents thermal runaway without interrupting charge cycle |
| C/10 charge termination detection | CHRG pin transitions to high-Z at 10% of programmed current - enables LED or MCU-based end-of-charge signaling |

FAQ
What is the maximum charge current supported by the LTC4080EMSE#PBF?
The LTC4080EMSE#PBF supports a maximum programmable charge current of 500mA with ±5% accuracy, achieved using an 806Ω resistor from PROG pin to ground. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under IBAT parameter (RPROG = 0.8k). Higher currents risk exceeding thermal limits or violating USB specifications, and the internal 4.5-hour timer enforces safe termination regardless of current setting.
How does the LTC4080EMSE#PBF handle thermal regulation during charging?
The LTC4080EMSE#PBF implements active thermal regulation via an internal transconductance amplifier (TA) that begins reducing charge current when junction temperature approaches ~115°C. This occurs without disabling the charger - maintaining continuous charging while preventing overheating. The PROG pin voltage remains proportional to actual delivered current, allowing real-time monitoring even under thermal foldback conditions.
Can the LTC4080EMSE#PBF operate without an external inductor?
No - the LTC4080EMSE#PBF requires an external inductor (e.g., 10µH) connected to the SW pin to enable its integrated synchronous buck converter. The buck function cannot operate without this component. However, the battery charger portion functions independently: if EN_BUCK is held low, the charger operates normally without inductor, capacitor, or feedback resistors for the buck stage.
What is the purpose of the ACPR pin on the LTC4080EMSE#PBF?
The ACPR pin on the LTC4080EMSE#PBF is an open-drain power supply status indicator. It pulls low only when both conditions are met: VCC exceeds 3.6V (UVLO threshold) and (VCC – VBAT) exceeds 82mV. This dual-condition logic confirms that sufficient input voltage and headroom exist for safe charging - providing reliable system-level power readiness signaling to host controllers or LEDs.
Does the LTC4080EMSE#PBF support trickle charging for deeply discharged batteries?
Yes - the LTC4080EMSE#PBF automatically initiates trickle charging when BAT voltage is below 2.9V at startup, delivering 10% of the programmed full-scale current (e.g., 50mA for 500mA setting). If the low voltage persists for 1.125 hours (¼ of full timer), the device declares the battery defective and pulses CHRG at 2Hz. Trickle charge resumes if BAT rises above 2.9V before timeout.
