QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT DC512B

4A SMART BATTERY CHARGER

LTC4100

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit DC512B is a single battery switch-

ing step-down charge controller featuring the LTC4100.

The recommended input power is 15 to 20V at 3.5A. A

two-position jumper allows choice of protected output

voltage range suitable for 3- and 4-Cell Li-ion batteries.

Removal of the jumper allows full output voltage range.

The maximum charge current is 4A.

The demo board is initially configured for 12.6V at 3A

for popular 3-cell Li-ion battery packs. LTC4100 will au-

tomatically charge a Smart Battery to termination as

soon as input power is applied with a battery connected

prior to power up. A VOUT pin automatically provides

power to the system load from the wall adapter or bat-

tery. Status LEDs are provided for CHG, ACP,

SMBALERT

and SMBus activity.

The optional DC1223A-B SMBUS to USB adapter and

associated software to control, monitor, and data log the

system for demonstration purposes only. This software

is not required to charge a battery with the DC512B.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 512B is easy to set up to

evaluate the performance of the LTC4100. Refer to

Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup

and follow the procedure below.

Set the jumpers according to the voltage and cur-

rent specifications of the pack under evaluation.

With all power off, connect input power supply,

and meters as shown in Figure 1.

3. Preset the system load to 0A and the input sup-

ply to 0V, 0A current limit.

4. Turn on the supply, setting the current limit to

3.5A.

5. Adjust the input voltage to the desired value, up

to 25V.

6. Connect the battery to begin charging.

Plug in

the battery. An industry standard 5-pin Smart Bat-

tery connector is provided as well as generic sol-

dering test points for hardwire connections.

Optional

1. For different ILIM & VLIM settings, adjust JP1

& JP3 as necessary.

2. To disable charging through hardware, connect

CHGEN to GND.

To probe the SMBus communication or connect to

an external host, connect leads to SDA, SCL, and

GND.

4. To use an external logic supply, disable the on-

board 5V linear regulator by setting JP2 to OFF.

Note: Not supplying an alternative VLOGIC will

disable the LEDs as well as SMBus communica-

tions, which prevents charging. It is always rec-

ommended to supply a VLOGIC at all times.

Use DC1223A-B USB-to-SMBus demoboard to

control and configure the provided DC512B evalu-

ation software.

Please refer to the LTC4100 datasheet for additional information.
