Product details
Overview
LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF from Analog Devices is a 35V/3.2A synchronous step-down lithium-ion/polymer battery charger with PowerPath™ management and I²C telemetry. It supports 1–8-cell stacks, delivers up to 3.2A charge current, features MPPT for solar inputs, and enables instant-on operation under low-battery or no-battery conditions in rugged portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF datasheet, LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF pinout, LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF application, or LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 4.1V per-cell charge voltage, integrated MPPT control, 16-bit telemetry accuracy for VBAT/IBAT/RBAT/TBAT, and thermal regulation with die temperature monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF implements a constant-frequency (1.5MHz typical) synchronous buck topology with four independent regulation loops: battery voltage, charge current, input current, and input voltage. Its PowerPath architecture decouples VOUT from battery voltage using external N-channel MOSFETs controlled by INFET and BATFET pins.
Telemetry is delivered via a 7-channel 16-bit ADC subsystem measuring VBATSENS+, IBAT, IIN, VIN, VOUT, NTC voltage, and die temperature - all accessible over I²C with 0.5% full-scale accuracy on voltage measurements and ±0.15mV offset error on current sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | Fixed 4.1V per cell - sets termination threshold for single- to 8-cell Li-ion/polymer stacks without I²C configuration. |
| Max Charge Current | 3.2A - determined by external sense resistor (RSNSB) and servo voltage resolution of 0.25mV/LSB. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 35V - supports wall adapters, USB-C PD, backplanes, and solar panels with MPPT enabled. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz typical (RT = 63.4kΩ) - enables compact magnetics and high efficiency across 1–8 cell counts. |
| Telemetry Resolution | 16-bit ADC - provides 0.32µV/LSB resolution on IBAT and 25mV/LSB on VIN, enabling precise battery resistance (RBAT) and state-of-charge estimation. |
| Thermal Protection | Dual thermal regulation - die temperature monitored with ±264.4°C offset and 0.0215°C/LSB resolution; thermal foldback starts at 70°C. |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (400kHz), 7-bit address 0b1101000 - supports register read/write for alerts, charge parameters, and real-time telemetry. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-pin 4mm × 5mm × 0.75mm QFN package with exposed AGND pad (Pin 29) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 3.4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| BATFET (22) | Gate driver output | Drives external N-channel MOSFET between battery and VOUT to isolate battery during ship mode or fault conditions. |
| CSP/CSN (21/20) | Charge current sense | Differential inputs for RSNSB resistor - measures IBAT with ±0.15mV offset error and 0.25mV/LSB resolution. |
| CLP/CLN (5/4) | Input current sense | Differential inputs for RSNSI resistor - regulates IIN with 0.5mV/LSB resolution and prioritizes system load over charging. |
| BATSENS+ (19) | Battery voltage sense | Kelvin-connected positive battery terminal input - enables accurate per-cell voltage measurement and JEITA-compliant charging. |
| NTC/NTCBIAS (10/9) | Temperature sensing | Provides 1.2V bias and digitizes NTC thermistor voltage for battery temperature monitoring with β = 3490K support. |
| SCL/SDA (13/14) | I²C interface | Open-drain bidirectional bus lines referenced to DVCC - enable telemetry readback and parameter configuration without additional level shifters. |
| CELLS0/CELLS1 (17/18) | Cell count selection | Strap pins to INTVCC/VCC2P5/GND to configure 1–8 series cells - determines VCHARGE range and telemetry scaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MPPT for solar inputs | Integrated algorithm adjusts input current limit to track maximum power point - eliminates need for external MPPT controller in solar-powered portable devices. |
| PowerPath™ topology | Independent control of INFET and BATFET enables seamless transition between input power and battery, allowing instant-on startup even with 0V battery. |

FAQ
What is the fixed charge voltage setting of the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF?
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF is factory-configured for a fixed 4.1V per-cell charge voltage, supporting 1–8 series Li-ion/polymer cells without I²C programming. This setting is hard-coded in the "L41M" variant and cannot be adjusted via registers - unlike the I²C-adjustable LTC4162EUFD-LAD#PBF. The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF maintains this voltage across temperature and load with ±0.5% accuracy.
Does the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF support Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)?
Yes, the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF includes integrated MPPT functionality activated by default in the "M" suffix variants. It dynamically adjusts input current limit to maximize harvested power from solar panels or other variable-impedance sources. MPPT operates independently of charge voltage settings and is confirmed in the Order Information table and Applications Information section of the datasheet.
How does the PowerPath™ architecture in the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF enable instant-on operation?
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF uses separate INFET and BATFET gate drivers to decouple VOUT from battery voltage. When VIN is present, INFET turns on to power VOUT directly - allowing the system to start instantly even with a fully discharged or missing battery. This behavior is inherent to the PowerPath™ topology and is verified in the Typical Application schematic and Operation section.
What telemetry data can be read from the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF over I²C?
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF provides 16-bit telemetry for seven parameters over I²C: battery voltage (VBATSENS+), battery current (IBAT), input current (IIN), input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), NTC thermistor voltage, and die temperature (TDIE). All values are accessible via dedicated registers and support real-time monitoring of battery resistance (RBAT) and state-of-health.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF use?
The LTC4162EUFD-L41M#PBF uses a 28-pin 4mm × 5mm × 0.75mm QFN package (UFD) with exposed AGND pad (Pin 29). Its thermal metrics are θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 3.4°C/W. The datasheet mandates soldering the exposed pad to PCB for thermal performance and specifies minimum copper pour area per JEDEC standards.
