  advertisement Smart Battery Charger Reduces Circuit Size – Design Note 1005
  Mark Gurries
  LTCВ®4100 Single Smart Battery Charger
  The predominant design challenge in most single-battery
  applications, such as tablet PCs and portable instrumentation, is how to save space. Typically such applications
  require low power from the battery. With this in mind,
  every feature of the LTC4100 Smart Battery charger exists
  to reduce board real estate and profile requirements. The
  LTC4100 is a Level 2 (slave) Smart Battery charger that is
  compliant with both Smart Battery Charger V1.1 and
  SMBus V1.1 standards.
  Figure 1 shows a typical compact single battery charger.
  This circuit can charge batteries with up to 4A and switch
  continuously down to zero load current. This circuit takes
  advantage of the ceramic capacitors’ space saving features while avoiding any audible noise. The high 300kHz
  switching frequency allows the use of a small low cost
  10ВµH inductor.
