The LT3650 is a complete monolithic single-cell Li-Ion/ Polymer battery charger that operates over a 4.75V to 32V input voltage range (7.5V minimum start-up voltage). The LT3650 provides a constant-current/constant-voltage charge characteristic, with maximum charge current externally programmable up to 2A, set using an external current sense resistor. A precondition feature tricklecharges a low voltage battery, and bad-battery detection provides a signal and suspends charging if a battery does not respond to preconditioning.
