LT1510IS8 Datasheet PDF - Linear Technology

●DESCRIPTION

●With switching frequency as high as 500kHz, The LT®1510 current mode PWM battery charger is the smallest, simplest, most efficient solution to fast-charge modern rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel metal-hydride (NiMH)

● and nickel-cadmium (NiCd)

● that

●require constant-current and/or constant-voltage charging. The internal switch is capable of delivering 1.5A DC current (2A peak current). The 0.1Ωonboard current sense resistor makes the charging current programming very simple. One resistor (or a programming current from

●a DAC) is required to set the full charging current (1.5A) to within 5% accuracy. The LT1510 with 0.5% reference voltage accuracy meets the critical constant-voltage charging requirement for lithium cells.

●FEATURES

●■ Charges NiCd, NiMH and Lithium-Ion Batteries - Only One 1/10W Resistor Is Needed to Program Charging Current
