Analog Devices Inc. DC2374B Demo Board for the LTC4013 Battery Charger

Analog Devices DC2374B Demo Board is designed to quickly and easily demonstrate the LTC4013 Battery Charger. The LTC4013 is a 60V Synchronous Buck Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger with two-stage CC/CV charge cycles, three and four-stage lead acid, and Li-Ion battery algorithms. The DC2374B Demo Board is set up to operate from a 21.5V to 35V supply or from a solar panel and charges a six-cell lead-acid battery at 5A.

High power charging is achieved with optional input and output capacitors plus large inductor pads and parallel top and bottom FET pads. Using external resistors and a capacitor, the DC2374B Demo Board configures the operating frequency, charge voltage, low battery (LB) voltage setting, and timing. The TIMER and two tri-state mode pins set different charging algorithms.
