Product details
Overview
LTC4085EDE-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a USB power manager and linear Li-ion battery charger with integrated ideal diode control, designed for portable USB-powered devices. It delivers 4.1V float voltage, supports up to 500mA input current limit (100% mode) or 100mA (20% mode), and provides load-dependent charging to maintain USB compliance while powering system loads and charging single-cell batteries. It is used in MP3 players, PDAs, and USB cameras requiring seamless source transition and high-temperature battery safety.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC4085EDE-1#PBF pinout, LTC4085EDE-1#PBF application, or LTC4085EDE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.1V fixed float voltage for >60°C operation, programmable input current limit via CLPROG/HPWR, internal 215mΩ ideal diode, NTC thermistor interface, and 14-lead 4mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC4085EDE-1#PBF implements a PowerPath™ architecture that dynamically balances input current between system load (OUT) and battery charge (BAT) using two independent resistor-programmed loops: RCLPROG sets input current limit (ICL = 1000V/RCLPROG), while RPROG sets charge current (ICHG = 50,000V/RPROG). Its constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charger includes C/10 termination, automatic recharging, and thermal regulation at 105°C junction temperature.
It integrates dual-path power routing: an internal 215mΩ ideal diode (VBAT→OUT) activates when VIN is absent or insufficient, and an external PFET gate driver (GATE pin) enables lower-loss conduction. The WALL comparator (4.25V rising threshold) disables IN→OUT path upon wall adapter detection, preventing backfeed into USB while enabling wall-powered battery charging via OUT→BAT path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | Fixed 4.1V float voltage with ±0.8% accuracy; optimized for extended capacity retention above 60°C and reduced swelling in prismatic/polymer cells. |
| Input Current Limit | Selectable 100% or 20% of programmed value (e.g., 500mA/100mA via HPWR pin); ensures strict USB 2.0 compliance under all load conditions. |
| Battery Charge Current | Programmable up to 1.2A via RPROG; automatically reduced to prevent IIN exceeding limit - guarantees sum of ILOAD + IBAT ≤ ICL. |
| Ideal Diode RON | 215mΩ internal VBAT→OUT path; enables sub-100mV forward drop at 100mA, eliminating Schottky losses and supporting fast transient response during USB disconnect. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C ambient; includes NTC thermistor interface (VNTC bias, cold/hot fault thresholds) and thermal shutdown at 105°C junction temperature. |
| Package | 14-lead 4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN with exposed GND pad; optimized for thermal dissipation in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | VIN/VOUT UVLO at 3.8V (rising), 3.6V (falling); prevents operation below safe Li-ion discharge threshold and avoids brownout during source transitions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 15 = GND). Requires PCB soldering of exposed pad for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (1) | USB VBUS Input | Primary input for USB 5V supply; current-limited by CLPROG/HPWR; clamped to 6V max steady-state. |
| OUT (2) | System Power Output | Regulated output powering load; accepts wall adapter input when VIN=0; bypassed with ≥4.7μF capacitor. |
| CLPROG (3) | Input Current Limit Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets ICL (ICL = 1000V/RCLPROG); also provides real-time IIN monitoring via VCLPROG. |
| HPWR (4) | High-Power Mode Select | Digital input: >1.2V = 100% ICL, <0.4V = 20% ICL; internal 2μA pull-down ensures default low-power startup. |
| SUSP (5) | USB Suspend Control | Pull >1.2V to reduce IIN to ≤110μA for USB suspend compliance; preserves battery charging and ideal diode function. |
| TIMER (6) | Charge Timer Capacitor | Capacitor-to-GND sets timer duration (tTIMER = CTIMER·RPROG·3h / 0.1μF·100k); shorting to GND disables charging. |
| WALL (7) | Wall Adapter Detection Input | Pull >4.25V to disable IN→OUT path and assert ACPR low; enables wall-powered charging without USB backfeed. |
| NTC (8) | Thermistor Interface Input | Connects to NTC thermistor; monitors battery temperature; charging pauses if outside valid range (cold/hot fault). |
| VNTC (9) | NTC Bias Voltage Output | Provides stable 4.4–4.85V bias for NTC network; enables accurate temperature sensing with low-drift resistors. |
| ACPR (10) | Wall Adapter Present Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating WALL pin threshold exceeded; disabled if all supplies are below UVLO. |
| CHRG (11) | Charge Status Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during charging; high-impedance when timer expires, EOC detected, or supply removed. |
| PROG (12) | Battery Charge Current Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets ICHG (ICHG = 50,000V/RPROG); PROG pin voltage held at 1.0V ±2% for precision programming. |
| GATE (13) | External PFET Gate Driver | Drives gate of external PFET (source=OUT, drain=BAT) to reduce ideal diode impedance; must be left floating if unused. |
| BAT (14) | Li-ion Battery Terminal | Connects to single-cell Li-ion anode; serves as charger output and ideal diode source; internal divider sets 4.1V float voltage. |
| Exposed Pad (15) | Thermal & Electrical Ground | Must be soldered to PCB GND plane for thermal management, EMI reduction, and proper device operation. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the WALL pin on the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF?
The WALL pin on the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF is a comparator input that detects presence of a wall adapter (rising threshold = 4.25V). When asserted, it disables the IN→OUT power path to prevent backfeed into the USB host and enables charging from the wall adapter via the OUT→BAT path. This ensures safe, isolated wall-powered operation without violating USB specifications - a core function of the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF's PowerPath™ architecture.
How does the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF ensure USB compliance during simultaneous charging and system load operation?
The LTC4085EDE-1#PBF ensures USB compliance by implementing load-dependent charging: it continuously adjusts battery charge current (IBAT) so that the sum of load current (ILOAD) and IBAT never exceeds the programmed input current limit (ICL). For example, with ICL = 500mA and ILOAD = 400mA, IBAT is automatically reduced to 100mA. This dynamic balancing is intrinsic to the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF's design and requires no external control logic.
Can the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF be used with a 4.2V Li-ion battery?
No - the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF is factory-trimmed for a fixed 4.1V float voltage and is not compatible with standard 4.2V Li-ion cells. It is specifically intended for applications operating or stored above ~60°C, where the reduced voltage trades initial capacity for improved long-term capacity retention and mechanical stability. Using it with a 4.2V cell would result in undercharging and reduced runtime; for 4.2V chemistry, select the standard LTC4085 (not -1 variant).
What is the function of the GATE pin on the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF?
The GATE pin on the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF drives the gate of an external P-channel MOSFET connected between BAT and OUT to enhance the ideal diode function. When enabled, it reduces conduction losses beyond the internal 215mΩ path - critical for high-current backup scenarios. The LTC4085EDE-1#PBF provides precise gate control timing and voltage levels; the external PFET's source must connect to OUT and drain to BAT, with thermal coupling recommended for overcurrent protection.
Does the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF support battery temperature monitoring?
Yes - the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF includes a dedicated NTC thermistor interface with pins NTC, VNTC, and associated circuitry to monitor battery temperature. It compares the NTC voltage against cold (0.738 × VNTC) and hot (0.326 × VNTC) thresholds with built-in hysteresis. If the battery temperature falls outside the valid range, the LTC4085EDE-1#PBF pauses charging until the condition clears - a mandatory safety feature for certified portable medical or industrial equipment.
