Charge Voltage Temperature Compensation

The LTC4013 can use a thermistor to adjust the battery

charge voltage as a function of temperature. The change

in FB-referred charge voltage from its nominal level is

given by ∆VFB = (VNTC - VINTVCC/2) • 0.21. Voltages

above 3.3V disable the NTC feature. The transfer function,

when combined with a thermistor, is stronger than neces-

sary. It is configured this way so that any thermistor can

be diluted with a low drift resistor to achieve the desired

temperature coefficient. To avoid the 3.3V NTC disable

threshold, the LTC4013 requires that the dilution resis-

tor be placed in parallel with the thermistor rather than

in series. The bias resistor from INTVCC to NTC should

be equal to the parallel combination of the thermistor at

25°C and the dilution resistor.

ated resistor settings using a 10k, ß = 3380K thermistor.

OPERATION

Since the thermistor is used to adjust charge voltage vs

battery temperature, it is ideally placed in thermal contact

with the battery. This is not always practical so the next

best thing is to position the resistor to sense the battery's

ambient temperature.

Charge Termination Timer

The LTC4013 supports timer-based functions wherein

of time. Timer termination is engaged when a capacitor

(CTMR) is connected from the TMR pin to ground. For a

desired end-of-cycle time (tEOC)CTMRfollowstherelation:

CTMR (µF) = tEOC (Hr) • 0.066
