LTC4098/LTC4098-1 - USB Compatible Switching Power Managers/Li-Ion Chargers with Overvoltage Protection

The LTC®4098/LTC4098-1 are high efficiency USB Power- Path controllers and full-featured Li-Ion/Polymer battery chargers. They seamlessly manage power distribution from multiple sources including USB, wall adapter, automotive, Firewire or other high voltage DC/DC converters, and a Li-Ion/Polymer battery.

The LTC4098/LTC4098-1’s internal switching regulator automatically limits its input current for USB compatibility. For automotive and other high voltage applications, the LTC4098/LTC4098-1 interface with a Linear Technology external switching regulator to provide a high efficiency high voltage power path. Both the USB and the optional high voltage inputs feature Bat-Track optimized charging to provide maximum power to the application and ease thermal issues in high power density applications with input supplies from 5V to as high as 38V.

An overvoltage circuit protects the LTC4098/LTC4098-1 from high voltage damage on the USB/wall adaptor inputs with an N-channel FET and a resistor.

The LTC4098/LTC4098-1 are available in a 20-lead, 3mm × 4mm × 0.75mm QFN surface mount package.
