Product details
Overview
LTC4085EDE-4#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 requiring seamless source arbitration between USB, wall adapter, and battery. It delivers 3.95V float voltage, supports up to 1.2A programmable charge current, enforces selectable 100% or 20% input current limits (e.g., 500mA/100mA), and operates in –40°C to +85°C ambient. It enables load-dependent charging compliance in USB-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF datasheet, LTC4085EDE-4#PBF pinout, LTC4085EDE-4#PBF application, or LTC4085EDE-4#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.95V reduced float voltage for extended battery life at high temperature, internal 215mΩ ideal diode path, NTC thermistor interface for thermal safety, and dual-mode input current limiting controlled by HPWR pin state.
Technical Context
The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF implements a PowerPath™ architecture that dynamically arbitrates between IN (USB/wall), BAT (Li-ion), and OUT (system load) using analog current-mode control loops. Its constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charger integrates thermal feedback and automatic recharge based on VFLOAT – 95mV threshold, while the ideal diode circuit maintains VOUT within ~55mV of VBAT under 600mA load.
Unlike standard chargers, it features load-dependent charge current reduction: battery current is automatically scaled so IIN = ILOAD + IBAT never exceeds the CLPROG-programmed limit (e.g., 500mA), with no microcontroller required. The absence of undervoltage current limit (vs. LTC4085-3) means charge current remains stable down to VOUT ≥ 2.75V, per its -4 variant specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Float Voltage | 3.95V ±35mV - Optimized for long-term capacity retention and reduced swelling in prismatic/polymer cells at >60°C operation. |

| Input Current Limit | Selectable 100% or 20% of CLPROG-set value (e.g., 500mA/100mA) - Enables strict USB 2.0 compliance and low-power suspend mode. |
| Ideal Diode RON | 215mΩ - Internal PFET path from BAT to OUT ensures minimal voltage drop during battery backup, eliminating need for external Schottky. |
| NTC Interface | VNTC = 4.4–4.85V bias; hot threshold = 32.6% × VNTC - Supports precision battery temperature monitoring with external thermistor. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Fully specified across industrial temperature range; junction max 110°C with θJA = 43°C/W. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead plastic DFN (4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm), exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | USB/wall input supply | Accepts 4.35–5.5V; current-limited by CLPROG/HPWR; powers OUT and charges BAT when enabled. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | System power output | Delivers regulated power to load from IN or BAT; requires ≥4.7μF bypass capacitor; supports wall adapter input when VIN = 0. |
| CLPROG (Pin 3) | Input current limit programming | Resistor to GND sets IIN(MAX); also provides real-time IIN monitor voltage (VCLPROG = IIN × RCLPROG/1000). |
| HPWR (Pin 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 (Pin 5) | USB suspend control | Pull >1.2V to reduce IIN to ≤100μA; preserves battery charging and BAT→OUT ideal diode function. |
| TIMER (Pin 6) | Charge timer capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets full-charge timeout; shorting to GND disables charging entirely. |
| WALL (Pin 7) | Wall adapter detection input | Detects >4.25V to disconnect IN→OUT path and assert ACPR low; enables priority wall adapter operation. |
| NTC (Pin 8) | Thermistor sensing input | Connects to NTC thermistor; monitors battery temperature; charging pauses if outside safe range (hot/cold fault). |
| VNTC (Pin 9) | NTC bias reference | Provides 4.4–4.85V precision bias for NTC network; enables accurate temperature threshold detection. |
| ACPR (Pin 10) | Wall adapter present indicator | Open-drain active-low output; asserts low when WALL >4.25V; disabled if all supplies are below UVLO. |
| CHRG (Pin 11) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during charging; high-impedance when charge complete, timer expired, or supply removed. |
| PROG (Pin 12) | Battery charge current programming | Resistor to GND sets IBAT = 50,000V/RPROG; supports up to 1.2A with 100kΩ resistor. |
| GATE (Pin 13) | External PFET gate driver | Drives optional external P-channel MOSFET to reduce ideal diode impedance; leave floating if unused. |
| BAT (Pin 14) | Battery connection | Connects to single-cell Li-ion anode; used as source during charging and sink during discharge; internal divider sets 3.95V float. |
| GND (Pin 15) | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical reference. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF in a USB-powered system?
The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF serves as a fully integrated USB power manager and Li-ion charger that arbitrates between USB input, wall adapter input, and battery supply to deliver regulated power to the system load. It enforces USB current compliance, manages battery charging with 3.95V float voltage, and provides seamless backup via its internal ideal diode-ensuring continuous operation without firmware intervention. The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF handles all power-path decisions in analog hardware.
How does the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF differ from the LTC4085-3 variant?
The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF omits the undervoltage current limit feature present in the LTC4085-3. This means the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF maintains full programmed charge current down to VOUT ≥ 2.75V, whereas the LTC4085-3 reduces charge current when VOUT falls below ~4.45V. Both share identical 3.95V float voltage, NTC interface, and pinout-making the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF preferable for systems where stable charging under low-output conditions is critical.
Can the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF support wall adapter input directly on the OUT pin?
Yes-the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF supports wall adapter input applied to the OUT pin (load side) when IN is unpowered. Its WALL comparator detects >4.25V on Pin 7, disabling the IN→OUT path and enabling battery charging from the wall adapter via the OUT→BAT path. This configuration avoids reverse current into USB and allows simultaneous load powering and battery charging-functionality confirmed in the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF datasheet Figure 1 and Table 1.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF?
The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF incorporates multiple hardware-based thermal protections: (1) thermal regulation that reduces charge current above TJ ≈ 105°C, (2) overtemperature shutdown at TJ > 110°C, and (3) NTC thermistor interface with programmable hot/cold fault thresholds (32.6% × VNTC hot, 73.8% × VNTC cold). These operate independently of external control-ensuring battery safety even if MCU firmware fails. The LTC4085EDE-4#PBF's exposed-pad DFN package further enables reliable heat dissipation.
Is the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF pin-compatible with other LTC4085 variants?
Yes-the LTC4085EDE-4#PBF is pin-compatible with all LTC4085-x variants (e.g., LTC4085EDE-3#PBF, LTC4085EDE#PBF) in the 14-lead DFN package. All share identical pinout, absolute maximum ratings, and electrical characteristics except for float voltage and undervoltage current limit behavior. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when upgrading to 3.95V float voltage or removing undervoltage current limiting-no PCB changes required.
