PSC1534 Lithium-Ion Linear Battery Charger
Features
s
Low external component count and small footprint
s
Charge termination indication and manual shut-
down using PROG pin
s
Programmable charge current: 200 mA to 800 mA
s
4.1 V or 4.2 V preset voltages
s
Automatic trickle charging at I
PROG
/10 for heavily
discharged batteries requires no additional exter-
nal components
s
Very low quiescent battery current during shut-
down and standby (charger removed)
s
Charger undervoltage lockout and battery over-
voltage lockout
s
Overcurrent/overtemperature protection
s
Low-profile (1 mm) SOT-23 package
Description
The PSC1534 is a constant-current/constant-voltage
Li-Ion battery charger controller that is functionally
equivalent and performance equivalent to the
LTC
1734. As an enhancement, the PSC1534 also
includes automatic detection and trickle charging of
deeply discharged batteries (V
BAT
<2.42 V).
The PSC1534 allows charge current programming
using a single external resistor, R
PROG
. The voltage
on the PROG pin is proportional to the charging cur-
rent at the I
SENSE
pin, allowing the user to use an
external A/D to monitor charging progress. A low bat-
tery drain (BAT pin) manual shutdown state can be
forced by floating the PROG pin. When the input sup-
ply (V
IN
) is removed, the PSC1534 enters a very low-
current sleep mode, during which BAT input supply
current is <1
A.
Applications
s
Any application that requires a compact, low-cost
solution for Li-Ion battery charging

Description
1
I
SENSE
Output
Charging current sense node. Supplies a monitored and controlled
current from V
CC
to the PNP emitter.
2
GND
GND
Ground reference for all internal circuits. Kelvin connects battery
ground to GND to minimize battery top-off voltage error.
3
V
CC
Supply
Positive input supply for all internal circuits and external charging
current (PNP emitter). The internal charging current control loop
monitors and controls the current flow between V
CC
and I
SENSE
.
Bypass this pin to GND with a 1
F to 10
F tantalum capacitor.
4
PROG
I/O
Charge current programming pin. Use an external resistor, R
PROG
,
to set current-mode charging current. I
CHRG
= 1.5 V/R
PROG
. If the
voltage on PROG exceeds 2.15 V, the PSC1534 enters manual
shutdown mode. This pin can be monitored by an external A/D con-
verter.
5
BAT
I/O
Battery voltage sense input. Bypass this pin with a 10
F tantalum
capacitor close to BAT and GND.
6
DRIVE
Output
Output base driver for PNP transistor. This driver output is current
limited and monitored by an internal thermal shutdown circuit that
will disable the driver if high-current fault conditions occur.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.
