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 draws a quiescent 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.
With a trimmed output voltage regulation of ±1.2%
initial accuracy, the LM3620 provides a simple,
precise solution for end-of-charge control of lithiumion rechargeable cells.
The LM3620 is packaged in a miniature 5-lead SOT23 surface mount package for very compact designs.

Connection Diagram
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.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

which the device is intended to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
