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.

  • Page 5 DEMO MANUAL DC1977A-A/DC1977A-B theory of operation Battery capacitors C1 and C2 The maximum battery voltage for the LTC4121EUD is 18V, and for the LTC4121EUD-4.2, it is 4.2V. Analog Devices recommends 47µF of capacitance on the BAT pin, if the battery is not present. For the LTC4121EUD the voltage rating of the capacitor will need to be 25V, so two 22µF, 25V, MLCC capacitors are used.
