DC498A - LTC4007 Evaluation Kit

Features

• Evaluation Kit for LTC4007 - 4A, High Efficiency, Standalone Li-Ion Battery Charger
• Disclaimer: Linear Technology cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry other than circuitry entirely embodied in a Linear Technology product. No circuit patent licenses are implied. Linear Technology reserves the right to change the circuitry and specifications without notice at any time.

Typical Application

Description

Demonstration circuit 498 is a single battery stand-alone battery charge controller with built in charge termination featuring the LTC®4007. The input voltage is 13 to 20V. The charger output voltage is programmed by jumpers to support 3Cell and 4Cell Li-ion batteries with a cell voltage of 4.1V or 4.2V/Cell. The maximum charge current is 4A. The demo board is initially configured for 12.6V Li-ion batteries. The board will automatically charge a battery to termination as soon as input power is applied with a battery connected prior to power up. Status LEDs are provided for CHG, ACP, FAULT, FLAG, ICL and LOBAT. An onboard NTC thermistor is provided. Although this charger is not a smart battery charger, a popular smart battery connector is provided that can be used for data logging with the optional DC410 demo board and software. To be clear, you do NOT need a smart battery to use this board. The optional DC410 SMBUS to Serial Port Adapter and associated software to monitor a smart battery are for demonstration purposes only. Contact your LT representative for ordering a DC410.
