ADILT1513-2IR#PBF
Overview
The LT1513-2IR#PBF is a 500kHz current mode switching regulator configured as a SEPIC (Single-Ended Primary Inductance Converter) specifically for battery charging. This topology allows the input voltage to be higher, lower, or equal to the battery voltage, making it ideal for charging from various power sources.
Why Choose This Part
The 500kHz switching frequency enables the use of small surface-mount inductors and capacitors. It features a unique current-sense mechanism that allows the battery to be directly grounded, simplifying system design and thermal management.
