APPLICATIONS
LTC1734L
Programming Constant Current
When in the constant current mode, the full-scale charge
current is programmed using a single external resistor
between the PROG pin and ground. This charge current
will be 250 times the current through the program resis-
tor. The program resistor value is selected by dividing the
voltage forced across the resistor (1.5V) by the desired
resistor current:
The LTC1734L is designed for an absolute maximum
current of 210mA. This translates to a maximum PROG pin
current of 840 A and a minimum program resistor of 1.8k.
Because the PROG pin is in a closed-loop signal path, the
pole frequency must be kept high enough to maintain
adequate AC stability by avoiding excessive capacitance
on the pin. See the Stability section for more details.
The minimum full-scale current that can be reliably pro-
grammed is approximately 10mA, which requires a pro-
gram resistor of 37.4k. Limiting capacitive loading on the
program pin becomes more important when high value
program resistors are used. In addition, the current

monitoring accuracy can degrade considerably at very
low current levels. If current monitoring is desired, a
minimum full-scale current of 50mA is recommended.
Different charge currents can be programmed by various
means such as by switching in different program resistors
as shown in Figures 2 and 3. A voltage DAC connected
through a resistor to the PROG pin or a current DAC
connected in parallel with a resistor to the PROG pin can
also be used to program current (the resistor is required
with the I
Stability section). Another means is to use a PWM output
from a microcontroller to duty cycle the charger into and
out of shutdown to create an average current (see Manual
Shutdown section for interfacing examples). Because
chargers are generally slow to respond, it can take up to
approximately 300 s for the charger to fully settle after a
shutdown is deasserted. This delay must be accounted for
unless the minimum PWM low duration is about 3ms or
more. Shutdown occurs within a few microseconds of a
shutdown command. The use of PWM can extend the
average current to less than the normal 50mA minimum
constant current.
