Linear Technology LT1512

The LT®1512 is a 500kHz current mode switching regulator specially configured to create a constant-current/constantvoltage battery charger. These topologies allow the current sense circuit to be ground referred and completely separated from the battery itself, simplifying battery switching and system grounding problems.

DESCRIPTION

In addition to the usual voltage feedback node, it has a current sense feedback circuit for accurately controlling output current of a flyback or SEPIC (Single-Ended Primary Inductance Converter) topology charger. In addition, these topologies allow charging even when the input voltage is lower than the battery voltage. Maximum switch current on the LT1512 is 1.5A. This allows battery charging currents up to 1A for a single lithium-ion cell.
