Linear Technology LT3652EDD Quick Start Manual

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 1568A is a 2A Monolithic
Multi-Chemistry battery charger for solar power
applications featuring the LT3652EDD. The
LT3652 is a complete mid-power Li-Ion battery
charger that can operate over a wide input volt-
age range. The charger employs a 3.3V float
voltage feedback reference that allows the bat-
tery float voltage to be adjusted up to 14.4V.
R10 and R11, in the demonstration circuit, set
the float voltage and are 0603 resistors to ac-
commodate the use of 0.1% resistors if desired.
The circuit is constructed with 1% resistors
which could introduce as much as a 1.56% error
in the float voltage. Replacing these resistors
with 0.1% resistors would introduce less than a
0.154% error. The LT3652 has an input voltage
regulation loop which reduces charge current if

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
LT3652 is a complete monolithic mid-power Li-Ion bat-
tery charger, addressing high input voltage applications
with solutions that require a minimum of external com-
ponents. The IC uses a 1MHz constant frequency, aver-
age-current mode step-down architecture.
The LT3652 incorporates a 2A switch that is driven by a
bootstrapped supply to maximize efficiency during

the input falls below a programmed level, set
with a resistor divider. The charger is a CC/CV
charger with a maximum charge current of 2A. A
precondition feature trickle charges a low-
voltage battery, and bad battery detection pro-
vides a signal if the battery doesn't respond to
preconditioning.
The LT3652EDD is available in a 12-lead (3mm
× 3mm) DFN surface mount package with an
exposed pad.

charging cycles. A wide input range allows operation to
fully charge from 11.5V (single cell) to 32V. A precision-
threshold shutdown pin allows the incorporation of
UVLO functionality using a simple resistor divider. The
IC can also be put into a low-current shutdown mode, in
which the input supply bias is reduced to only 15uA.
The LT3652 incorporates several degrees of charge cur-
rent control freedom. The overall maximum charge cur-
