GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADP2291 is a constant-current/constant-voltage linear 
charger for a single-cell, lithium ion battery, requiring just a few 
components to provide a simple and safe charging system that 
operates from a wide 4.5 V to 12 V input voltage range. It 
features an internally controlled, multistep charging cycle that 
improves battery life. 
An external, low cost PNP provides the charging current to the 
battery, and an external resistor sets the maximum charge 
current. A small, external capacitor programs the maximum 
charge time. The controller includes an LED driver to indicate 
the battery charging status. 
Safety features include charging stop mode for battery faults, 
output overshoot protection, and thermal shutdown. The 
ADP2291 also features automatic reverse isolation, which does 
not require an additional blocking diode. 
The multistep charge cycle optimizes the battery charging time 
in a safe manner. It features a trickle charge mode for a deeply 
discharged cell and a fast charging mode with a maximum 
current of 1.5 A. The ADP2291 controls the end of charge with 
a 4.2 V output voltage that is 1% accurate over line and tem-
perature. It automatically recharges the battery if the cell voltage 
drops. When the input supply is removed, the part enters a low 
current state and reduces the current drawn from the battery to 
below 1 µA.  
The ADP2291 is available in both a small, 8-lead MSOP 
package and a 3 × 3 mm LFCSP package that is ideally suited 
for small, portable applications.
