LM3620
Lithium-Ion Battery Charger Controller
General Description
The LM3620 series of controllers are monolithic integrated
circuits designed to control the charging and end-of-charge
control for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The LM3620 is
available in two versions for one or two cell charger applications. Each version provides the option of selecting the appropriate termination voltage for either coke or graphite anode lithium cells.
The LM3620 can operate from a wide range of DC input
sources (4V to 30V). With no charger supply connected, the
controller drawsaquiescent current of only 10nA to minimize
discharging of a connected battery pack.
The LM3620 consists of an operational transconductance
amplifier,a bandgap voltage reference, a NPN driver transistor and precision voltage setting resistors. The output of the
amplifier is made available to drive an external power transistor if higher drive currents are required.
Typical Application
With a trimmed output voltage regulation of
curacy, the LM3620 provides a simple, precise solution for
end-of-charge control of lithium-ion rechargeable cells.
The LM3620 is packaged in a miniature 5-lead SOT-23 surface mount package for very compact designs.

The small physical size of the SOT23-5 Package does not allow for the full part number marking. Devices will be marked with the
designation shown in the column Package Marking.
The devices are shipped in tape-and-reel format. The standard quantity is 250 units on a reel (indicated by the letters “M5” in the
part number), or 3000 units on a reel (indicated by the letters “M5X” in the part number).
