LTC4008EGN#PBF

The LTC4008 is a constant-current/constant-voltage charger controller. The PWM controller uses a synchronous, quasi-constant frequency, constant off-time architecture that will not generate audible noise even when using ceramic capacitors. Charging current is programmable with a sense resistor and programming resistor to ±4% typical accuracy. Charging current can be monitored as a voltage across the programming resistor. An external resistor divider and precision internal reference set the final float voltage.
