The LTC1759 implements a Level 2 charger function whereby the charger can be programmed by the battery or by the host. A thermistor on the battery being charged is monitored for temperature, connectivity and battery type information. The SMBus interface remains alive when the AC power adapter is removed and responds to all SMBus activity directed to it, including thermistor status (via the Charger Status mand). The charger also provides an interrupt to the host whenever a status change is detected (e.g., battery removal, AC adapter connection). Charging current and voltage are restricted to chemistry specific limits for improved system safety and reliability. Limits are programmable by two external resistors. Additionally, the maximum average current from the AC adapter is programmable to avoid overloading the adapter when simultaneously supplying load current and charging current. When supplying system load current, charging current is automatically reduced to prevent adapter overload. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
