Battery Charger
Linear Technology introduces the LTC4060, an autonomous 1- to 4-cell, 0.4 A to 2 A linear NiMH and NiCd battery charger. The LTC4060 includes all the functions required for a battery charger circuit, operating without the aid of a microcontroller or firmware. The design is simple and needs only three passive components. The LTC4060 also eliminates the need for a sense resistor and blocking diode. This IC is targeted at applications including portable medical equipment, automotive diagnostic systems and industrial/telecom test devices.
The LTC4060 is offered in two packages, a 16-lead TSSOP and a 5 × 3 mm DFN. It uses an external PNP transistor to supply current to the battery or battery pack. The operating voltage ranges from 4.5 V to 10 V.
