ICs Simplify Battery Charging from the USB


Posted on Mar 14, 2013

The charger is based on the LTC4053a standalone timer-terminated constant current/constant voltage linear charger. The LTC4053 features a thermal loop which maximizes the charging rate under all conditions by regulating the maximum die temperature. Less sophisticated linear chargers must run lower charging rates or risk overheating, thus increasing charge times.



The USB is fast becoming the most popular way to attach peripherals to personal computers. An important feature of the USB standard is that it allows for power transmission over the USB cable, making it possible for a PDA or other handheld device to c
