Product details
Overview
LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 10mA wireless single-cell Li-Ion battery charger with integrated 1.2V step-down charge-pump DC/DC regulator, NTC-based temperature monitoring, pin-selectable 4.1V/4.2V charge voltage, and 3-hour safety timer - designed for ultra-compact hearing aid power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF pinout, LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF application, or LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF equivalent, this device delivers verified wireless charging + regulated low-noise 1.2V supply in a thermally enhanced 2mm × 2mm LQFN package with confirmed 12-pin terminal mapping and documented differential undervoltage lockout (DUVLO), DUVCL, and multi-mode DC/DC operation.
Technical Context
The LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF integrates three functional blocks: an AC rectifier with overvoltage limit (5.5V typical VCC(HIGH)), a full CC/CV linear Li-Ion charger (10mA fixed ICHG, 4.1V/4.2V VCHG), and a multi-mode charge-pump DC/DC regulator delivering 1.2V output across three battery-voltage-dependent modes (3:1 regulated, 3:1 open-loop, 2:1 regulated).
Its operational intelligence includes differential undervoltage protection (ΔVUVLO = 27mV/80mV), graded current limiting (DUVCL active between ~154mV–116mV VCC–VBAT), temperature-qualified charging via NTC pin (VCOLD = 62%VCC, VHOT = 34.9%VCC), and pushbutton/digital EN control of the DC/DC stage - all coordinated by internal logic with status reporting via CHRG, STAT1/STAT2, and ACPR pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current | Fixed 10mA - eliminates external current-setting components and ensures predictable thermal profile in space-constrained hearing aids. |
| Charge Voltage | PIN-selectable 4.1V or 4.2V - supports battery chemistry variants without redesign; VSEL logic high = 4.2V, low = 4.1V. |
| DC/DC Output | Regulated 1.2V ±40mV (1.16V–1.24V) at IOUT = 0 - powers low-voltage hearing aid ASICs with minimal noise in audible band. |
| DC/DC Switching Frequency | 50kHz (3:1 mode) or 75kHz (2:1 mode) - avoids audible noise while enabling compact external capacitor selection. |
| Battery Disconnect Threshold | 3.0V ±70mV (VDISCONNECT) - prevents deep discharge damage and enables safe ship-mode behavior. |
| NTC Fault Thresholds | VCOLD = 62.0%VCC (rising), VHOT = 34.9%VCC (falling), 1.5% hysteresis - implements precise 0°C–40°C safe-charge window per Li-Ion spec. |
| Safety Timer | 3.0 hours ±30 min (tTERMINATE) - guarantees charge termination even under weak coupling or degraded battery conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead 2mm × 2mm × 0.74mm LQFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 13), θJA = 92°C/W, MSL Level 3, RoHS-compliant Au (e4) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NTC (1) | Thermistor bias input | Monitors battery temperature via external NTC network; suspends charging if VCOLD/VHOT thresholds violated. |
| EN (2) | Digital enable input | Logic-low (≤0.4V) enables DC/DC; internal 1MΩ pull-up to BAT allows unconnected default-enable. |
| PBEN (3) | Pushbutton toggle input | Ground-triggered toggle for DC/DC on/off; ignored if EN is low; internal weak pull-up ensures default high. |
| VSEL (4) | Charge voltage select | Logic-high = 4.2V VCHG, logic-low = 4.1V VCHG; must not be left floating. |
| ACPR (5) | Input power availability indicator | CMOS output referenced to OUT; high = VCC–VBAT ≥80mV (typ), low = ≤27mV (typ); requires DC/DC enabled. |
| CHRG (6) | Open-drain charge status | Four-state indication: Hi-Z (no power), slow blink (charging), fast blink (fault), pulled low (done); 300µA pull-down. |
| ACIN (7) | AC receive coil input | Connects to external LC tank; internal rectifier converts induced AC to VCC; short to GND if unused. |
| BAT (8) | Battery connection | Single-cell Li-Ion interface; supplies both charger and DC/DC; requires 1µF decoupling when DC/DC active. |
| STAT2 (9), STAT1 (10) | Charging state logic outputs | CMOS outputs referenced to OUT; encode charge/fault states per Table 1; inactive if DC/DC disabled. |
| VCC (11) | Rectified DC input | Output of internal AC rectifier; also accepts external DC supply; clamped at 5.5V (typ) by VCC(HIGH). |
| OUT (12) | DC/DC regulated output | Delivers 1.2V to load; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (13) | Ground reference & thermal pad | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for electrical integrity and thermal dissipation (θJA = 92°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated wireless receiver + charger + regulator | Eliminates need for separate AC-DC, battery management, and voltage regulation ICs - reduces BOM count and board area by >40% in hearing aids. |
| Multi-mode charge-pump DC/DC | Three operating modes (3:1 regulated, 3:1 open-loop, 2:1 regulated) maintain usable 1.2V output across full 2.7V–4.4V battery range. |
| Differential undervoltage current limiting (DUVCL) | Gradually scales charge current from 10mA → 0mA as VCC–VBAT drops from 154mV → 116mV - prevents oscillatory charging under marginal coupling. |
| Temperature-qualified charging | Hardware-based NTC monitoring with cold/hot comparators and hysteresis - ensures compliance with IEC 62368-1 and UL 2054 battery safety requirements. |
| Low-quiescent-current ship mode | IBATQ = 4–8µA (charging done, DC/DC off, VBAT = 4.4V) - extends shelf life of pre-charged hearing aid batteries up to 18 months. |

FAQ
What is the exact charge current and voltage accuracy of the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF?
The LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF delivers a fixed 10mA charge current with ±10% tolerance (9.0–11.5mA) and pin-selectable charge voltage: 4.200V ±42mV (VSEL = 1) or 4.100V ±41mV (VSEL = 0), both specified over –20°C to 85°C junction temperature. These values are measured per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet Rev. 0.
How does the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF handle weak magnetic coupling during wireless charging?
The LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF uses differential undervoltage current limiting (DUVCL) to gracefully scale charge current from 10mA down to zero as the VCC–VBAT differential falls from ~154mV to ~116mV - preventing the oscillatory on/off behavior that would occur with hard DUVLO cutoff alone. This ensures stable partial charging under marginal coupling conditions.
Can the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF operate without the NTC thermistor connected?
Yes - grounding the NTC pin (Pin 1) disables all temperature monitoring functionality in the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF, allowing normal charging and DC/DC operation. However, this voids temperature-qualified charging compliance and is not recommended for medical or safety-certified designs per IEC 62368-1.
What are the DC/DC output capabilities of the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF across battery voltage range?
The LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF provides 1.2V regulated output up to 60mA when VBAT > 3.6V (3:1 mode) or VBAT < 3.3V (2:1 mode); between 3.3V–3.6V, it delivers VBAT/3 open-loop output with ROL ≈ 4.6Ω. Minimum guaranteed VOUT is 1.16V at IOUT = 0 and VBAT > VLOBAT2.
Is the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC4126 family?
No - the LTC4126EV-10#TRMPBF is the evaluation board variant (EV) of the LTC4126-10, not a production part. The production-grade equivalent is LTC4126-10#TRPBF (tape-and-reel) or LTC4126-10#TRMPBF (mini-reel). All share identical pinout, package, and electrical behavior per datasheet Rev. 0.
