Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4059/LTC4059A are constant-current/constant voltage linear chargers for single cell lithium-ion batteries. Their 2mm × 2mm DFN package and low external component count make these chargers especially well suited for portable applications. Furthermore, they are designed to work within USB power specifications.
