DESCRIPTION
The LTC4081 is a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear battery charger for a single-cell 4.2V lithium-ion/polymer battery with an integrated 300mA synchronous buck converter. A 3mm × 3mm DFN package and low external component count make the LTC4081 especially suitable for portable applications. Furthermore, the LTC4081 is specifi cally designed to work within USB power specifi cations.
