APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITORS
The LTC4110 uses a synchronous fl yback regulator to
provide high battery charging current. A chip ceramic
capacitor is recommended for both the input and output
capacitors because it provides low ESR and ESL and can
handle the high RMS ripple currents. However, some
Hi-Q capacitors may produce high transients due to self
resonance under some start-up conditions, such as con-
necting the charger input to a hot power source. For more
information, refer to Application Note 88.
For charge mode, the ripple current can be calculated as
follows:
and
For calibration mode, the ripple current can be calculated
as follows:
and
EMI considerations usually make it desirable to minimize
ripple current in the battery leads, and beads or induc-
tors may be added to increase battery impedance at the
300kHz switching frequency. Switching ripple current splits
between the battery and the output capacitor depending
on the ESR of the output capacitor and the battery imped-
ance. If the ESR of the output capacitor is 0.1Ω and the
battery impedance is raised to 2v with a bead or induc-
tor, only 5% of the ripple current will fl ow in the battery.

Similar techniques may also be applied to minimize EMI
from the input leads.
Diodes
Schottky diodes should be placed in parallel with the drain
and source of the Flyback MOSFETs. This prevents body
diode turn-on and improves effi ciency by eliminating loss
from reverse recovery in these diodes. It also reduces
conduction loss during the dead time of the MOSFETs.
PROTECTING SMBUS PINS
The SMBus inputs, SCL and SDA, are exposed to uncon-
trolled transient signals whenever a battery is connected
to the system. If the battery contains a static charge, the
SMBus inputs are subjected to transients that can cause
damage after repeated exposure. Also, if the battery’s posi-
tive terminal makes contact to the connector before the
negative terminal, the SMBus inputs can be forced below
ground with the full battery potential, causing a potential
for latch-up in any of the devices connected to the SMBus
inputs. Therefore, it is good design practice to protect the
SMBus inputs as shown in Figure 19.
START-UP DELAYS
When exiting shutdown mode, internal supplies must
ramp up and settle. 500μs-1ms should be adequate after
shutdown is exited or when power is quickly (<100μs)
fi rst applied to the IC. For slow power ramp-up (>1ms)
internal supplies will be in regulation after power input
reaches 4.5V. Until internal supplies settle, status outputs
may be invalid.
