Description
Demonstration circuit 2044A is a 55V buck-boost multi-
chemistry battery charger featuring the LTC4020. The board
will accept an input voltage between 15V and 55V. The
float voltage of the battery output (BAT) is 25.2V, with 3.3A
maximum charge current. The converter output (VOUT)
has a voltage range of 21V to 28V, with 3A maximum load
current. The LTC4020 contains a high efficiency synchro-
nous buck-boost DC/DC controller and uses a proprietary
average current mode architecture.
The LTC4020 battery charger can provide a constant-
current/constant-voltage charge algorithm (CC/CV, with
MODE pin grounded), constant-current charging (CC, with
