LT1513/LT1513-2
SEPIC Constant- or
Programmable-Current/
Constant-Voltage Battery Charger
The LT
1513 is a 500kHz current mode switching regula-
tor specially configured to create a constant- or program-
mable-current/constant-voltage battery charger. 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. These topologies allow the
current sense circuit to be ground referred and completely
separated from the battery itself, simplifying battery switch-
ing and system grounding problems. In addition, these
topologies allow charging even when the input voltage is
lower than the battery voltage. The LT1513 can also drive
a CCFL Royer converter with high efficiency in floating or
grounded mode.
Maximum switch current on the LT1513 is 3A. This allows
battery charging currents up to 2A for a single lithium-ion
cell. Accuracy of 1% in constant-voltage mode is perfect
for lithium battery applications. Charging current can be
easily programmed for all battery types.
