Description
DC1977A-A
LTC4120EUD-4.2 (Fixed Output)
DC1977A-B
LTC4121EUD (Adjustable Output)
Demonstration Board DC1977A showcases the
LTC4121-4.2
and
LTC4121
buck battery charger integrated circuit. The DC1977A
supports the maximum-power-point tracking (MPPT)
feature of the LTC4121EUD to optimize power delivery
from photovotalic cells or highly resistive sources.

The LTC4121 and LTC4121-4.2 feature constant-current–
constant-voltage charging capability suitable for lithium-
ion or lead-acid cells. The LTC4121-4.2 supports charging
a single lithium-ion cell with a cell voltage of 4.2V. The
LTC4121 may be programmed to charge battery voltages
up to 18V with a resistive divider.
