DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2118B is a combination step-down
battery charger and step-up battery backup regulator
using the
LTC
4040
monolithic system power manager.
®
The DC2118B has an input voltage range from 4.8V to
5.5V with overvoltage protection (OVP) to 40V, as limited
by the external MOSFET. The input current is monitored to
prioritize the load up to the 2.5A threshold before charge
current is reduced.
Battery Charging
As initially configured, DC2118B is programmed for 2A
charge current limit when in charge mode. The charge
voltage is jumper-selectable in 8 discrete steps from
3.45V to 3.6V for LiFePO
4
Li-ion chemistry, according to the F2/F1/F0 programming
input settings.
The charge current limit is adjustable via the PROG pin
resistor. End-of-charge status is triggered by current
falling below C/8 and indicated by the CHRG LED. The

Battery Charger and Backup
optional NTC input provides temperature fault detection
and status indicated by the FAULT LED. Charging can be
enabled/disabled with the ENCHG jumper.
Battery Backup
Following an input power failure, the circuit automatically
shifts to battery backup boost mode to regulate the VSYS
output rail. The backup mode system output voltage is ini-
tially programmed for 5V. The input power failure status
is indicated by the PFO LED.
If VSYS ever falls below the programmed reset threshold
voltage, the RST LED will change states to indicate the
need to reset the system and recharge the battery. Backup
regulation can be enabled/disabled with the ENBST jumper.
For convenience, all LEDs can be disabled with the LED
jumper to reduce the quiescent current of the system.
