The LTC®4065 is a complete constant-current/constant voltage linear charger for single-cell lithium-ion batteries. Its 2mm × 2mm DFN package and low external component count make the LTC4065 especially well-suited for portable applications. Furthermore, LTC4065 is specifically designed to work within USB power specifications.
The CHRG pin indicates when charge current has dropped to ten percent of its programmed value (C/10). An internal timer terminates charging according to battery manufacturer specifications.
No external sense resistor or blocking diode is required due to the internal MOSFET architecture. Thermal feed back regulates charge current to limit the die temperature during high power operation or high ambient temperature conditions.
