Battery Charger Solutions

High Performance Analog ICs
Linear Technology’s high performance battery charger ICs
enable long battery life by providing precision charging
control, constant status monitoring and stringent battery
protection. Proprietary design techniques provide battery
and circuit protection, small solution footprints, faster
charging, 100% standalone operation, improved thermal
performance and high reliability operation.
Each battery chemistry has unique battery-charging require-
ments. Selecting the correct battery charger increases the
operational run time of the end-product by ensuring that
the battery is always optimally charged. This guide contains
the essential technical criteria to easily identify the optimum
battery charging IC for charging single-cell, multiple-cell
and even battery packs, regardless of chemistry.
