Product details
Overview
LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a USB power manager and single-cell Li-ion/polymer battery charger with integrated ideal diode controller. It delivers 3.95V float voltage, supports up to 1.2A programmable charge current, enforces 500mA/100mA input current limits via HPWR pin selection, and operates in –40°C to 85°C ambient. It enables seamless power-path arbitration among USB VBUS, wall adapter, and battery in portable medical monitors and handheld test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF application, or LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world load-dependent charging behavior, thermal regulation thresholds, NTC-based temperature fault detection, and validated alternative options for extended-life battery systems requiring high-temperature safety margins.
Technical Context
The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF implements a dual-loop PowerPath™ architecture: one loop regulates input current (via CLPROG resistor and HPWR-selectable 20%/100% scaling), while the other manages constant-current/constant-voltage battery charging with automatic current reduction to keep IIN = ILOAD + IBAT within the programmed limit. Its internal 215mΩ ideal diode ensures <55mV forward drop at 600mA and enables sub-microsecond transition from USB to battery power.
It integrates an NTC thermistor interface with 32.6% VVNTC hot threshold and 0.738×VVNTC cold threshold, plus a 3.95V float voltage optimized for >60°C operation-reducing cell swelling in prismatic packs and preventing CID activation in cylindrical cells. The TIMER pin supports programmable charge termination with ±10% accuracy over temperature.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
14-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 15 = GND). Pin 1 marked by dot; top-side marking "40853".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (1) | USB VBUS input | Accepts 4.35–5.5V; current-limited by CLPROG/HPWR; powers OUT and charges BAT when external supply present. |
| OUT (2) | System power output | Supplies load from IN or BAT; bypassed with ≥4.7μF; enables seamless switchover via internal ideal diode. |
| CLPROG (3) | Input current limit programming | RCLPROG to GND sets IIN(MAX); VCLPROG = 1V nominal; monitors real-time IIN = VCLPROG/RCLPROG × 1000. |
| HPWR (4) | High-power mode select | Logic input: >1.2V → 100% IIN limit; <0.4V → 20% limit; internal 2μA pull-down ensures default low-power startup. |
| SUSP (5) | USB suspend control | >1.2V disables IN→OUT path; reduces IIN to ≤100μA; preserves BAT→OUT ideal diode and charging functions. |
| TIMER (6) | Charge timer capacitor | CTIMER to GND sets termination time: tTIMER = CTIMER × RPROG × 3h / (0.1μF × 100kΩ); shorting to GND disables charging. |
| WALL (7) | Wall adapter detect input | >4.25V disconnects IN→OUT; asserts ACPR low; prevents reverse current into USB bus when wall adapter active. |

| VNTC (9) | NTC bias voltage output | 4.4–4.85V regulated source; supplies current to NTC network; requires low-drift resistor to NTC pin. |
| ACPR (10) | Wall adapter present output | Open-drain active-low; pulled low when WALL >4.25V; disabled if all supplies (IN/OUT/BAT) are below UVLO. |
| CHRG (11) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain output: low during charging; high-Z at end-of-charge (kEOC = 10%), timer expiry, or supply removal. |
| PROG (12) | Battery charge current programming | RPROG to GND sets IBAT: ICHG = 50,000V/RPROG; VPROG = 1V nominal; supports 465–1080mA range. |
| GATE (13) | External PFET gate drive | Drives optional external P-channel MOSFET between BAT and OUT to reduce ideal diode impedance below 215mΩ. |
| BAT (14) | Battery connection | Connects to single-cell Li-ion/polymer; internal CC/CV regulator sets 3.95V float; supports trickle charge below 2.9V. |
| GND (15) | Ground reference & thermal pad | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for electrical integrity and thermal dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB power management and Li-ion charging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF | Same 3.95V float and NTC thresholds, but lacks automatic output undervoltage current limit (no VOUT-sense feedback for IBAT reduction). | Suitable for fixed-load systems where VOUT droop is not expected; unsuitable for dynamic loads prone to brownout. | Select LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF only when load regulation is stable and undervoltage protection is handled externally. |
| BQ24075RGTR | 4.2V float, no ideal diode, no NTC interface, 1.5A max charge current; uses different PROG resistor scaling (1000V/RPROG). | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics; lacks thermal safety features and seamless PowerPath™ arbitration. | Choose BQ24075RGTR for non-temperature-critical applications with simpler power architectures and lower BOM cost targets. |
Compared with LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF, the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF adds critical undervoltage current limiting to prevent system reset during transient load spikes, while BQ24075RGTR trades off safety and power-path intelligence for higher peak charge current and lower unit cost-making it viable only in thermally benign, statically loaded environments.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF in a USB-powered system?
The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF serves as a USB power manager and Li-ion charger that arbitrates between USB VBUS, wall adapter, and battery sources while enforcing strict input current limits. It ensures compliant USB operation (≤100mA/500mA), delivers regulated 3.95V float charging, and enables seamless power switchover via its internal ideal diode-making the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF essential for portable devices requiring both runtime extension and safe, long-life battery management.
How does the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF handle thermal regulation during charging?
The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF incorporates a dedicated thermal regulation circuit that activates at 105°C junction temperature (TLIM), linearly reducing charge current to prevent overheating. This feature operates independently of ambient temperature sensors and maintains safe operation even in sealed enclosures. The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF also uses its 3.95V float voltage to minimize heat-generating side reactions during constant-voltage phase-ensuring reliable performance without external thermal management components.
Can the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF be used without an NTC thermistor?
Yes-the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF can operate without an NTC thermistor by grounding the NTC pin, which disables temperature monitoring and allows charging across the full voltage range. However, this removes critical overtemperature protection for the battery. For applications requiring safety certification (e.g., IEC 62368-1), the NTC interface must be implemented using a precision thermistor network referenced to the VNTC pin. The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF's NTC circuit is integral to its thermal safety architecture.
What distinguishes the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF from the LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF?
The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF includes automatic output undervoltage current limiting, which reduces battery charge current when VOUT falls below ~4.45V to prevent system brownout. The LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF omits this feature while sharing identical 3.95V float voltage, NTC thresholds, and PowerPath™ functionality. Therefore, the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF is required for dynamically loaded systems, whereas the LTC4085EDE-4#TRPBF suits fixed-load applications where VOUT remains stable.
What is the recommended layout practice for the exposed thermal pad on the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 15) of the LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF must be soldered directly to a solid copper GND plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) spaced evenly beneath the pad. This achieves the specified 43°C/W θJA and prevents junction temperature exceedance during 1.2A charging. Floating or undersized pads cause thermal throttling and premature timer expiration. The LTC4085EDE-3#TRPBF's performance and reliability depend critically on proper thermal pad implementation per Linear Technology AN133 guidelines.
