Key Featrues

Charger Input Voltage Flexibility - The LT1513 allows the input voltage to be higher, equal to, or lower than the battery voltage, enabling versatile charging scenarios. This flexibility broadens its use cases, such as charging from solar panels or low-voltage sources, enhancing its adaptability in diverse applications.
Precision Voltage Accuracy - With 1% voltage accuracy for rechargeable lithium batteries, the LT1513 ensures safe and efficient charging. This precision minimizes overcharging risks, prolonging battery life and improving overall system reliability.
Ground-Referenced Current Sense - The current sense circuit is ground-referred, simplifying battery switching and system grounding. This feature reduces design complexity and improves safety in battery management systems.
High-Efficiency Current Sensing - The LT1513 offers a 100mV current sense voltage, optimizing efficiency in power conversion. This low voltage drop reduces energy loss, making it ideal for high-performance battery charging applications.
500kHz Switching Frequency - The high switching frequency minimizes inductor size, reducing the overall footprint of the charging circuit. This feature is particularly beneficial for compact designs, such as portable electronics or space-constrained systems.
