APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
From the Vishay Curve 1 R-T characteristics, r
at 60°C. Using the above equation, R
to 46.4k. With this value of R
about 16°C. Notice that the span is now 44°C rather than
the previous 40°C. This is due to the decrease in “tem-
perature gain” of the thermistor as absolute temperature
increases.
The upper and lower temperature trip points can be inde-
pendently programmed by using an additional bias resistor
as shown in Figure 9. The following formulas can be used
to compute the values of R
For example, to set the trip points to 0°C and 45°C with
a Vishay Curve 1 thermistor choose
the nearest 1% value is 105k.

Battery Charger Stability Considerations
The LTC3557/LTC3557-1’s battery charger contains both a
constant voltage and a constant current control loop. The
constant voltage loop is stable without any compensation
when a battery is connected with low impedance leads.
Excessive lead length, however, may add enough series
inductance to require a bypass capacitor of at least 1μF from
BAT to GND. Furthermore, a 4.7μF capacitor in series with
a 0.2Ω to 1Ω resistor from BAT to GND is required to keep
ripple voltage low when the battery is disconnected.
High value, low ESR multilayer ceramic chip capacitors
reduce the constant voltage loop phase margin, possibly
resulting in instability. Ceramic capacitors up to 22μF may
be used in parallel with a battery, but larger ceramics should
be decoupled with 0.2Ω to 1Ω of series resistance.
In constant current mode, the PROG pin is in the feed-
back loop rather than the battery voltage. Because of the
additional pole created by any PROG pin capacitance,
capacitance on this pin must be kept to a minimum. With
