Standalone Li-Ion Battery Charger with Dual Adjustable Output Synchronous Buck Converter

MILPITAS, CA - April 25, 2006 - Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3552, an efficient, compact power management solution for handheld applications. The LTC3552 includes a standalone Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery charger and a high efficiency dual synchronous buck regulator offered in a low-profile 3mm x 5mm DFN package. The linear battery charger can deliver up to 950mA charge current from a wall adapter supply, or up to 500mA charge current from a USB supply. Standalone operation simplifies design, eliminating the need for an external microprocessor for charge termination. The final float voltage is accurate to ±1%. The LTC3552's battery charger is equipped with a patented thermal regulation scheme that maximizes the charge rate without the risk of overheating. To preserve battery energy, it draws

The LTC3552's integrated dual synchronous buck regulators generate adjustable output voltages from 5V to as low as 0.6V, at output currents up to 800mA and 400mA. The internal switches feature a low RDS(ON) range to deliver efficiencies as high as 92%, maximizing battery run time. In addition, Burst Mode® operation optimizes efficiency at light loads with quiescent current of only 40uA (

The LTC3552 is available from stock in a compact low-profile (0.75mm) 5mm x 3mm DFN-16 package. Pricing starts at $2.30 each for 1,000-piece quantities.
