DC867 is de- optional USB power indication) for battery signed to demonstrate the LTC4075X capability to charge status and input power status. The automatically select the appropriate power source CHRG LED will be turned on when LTC4075X is for charging. DC867 is set up so that when the charging and it will be turned off when charging is USB source is used as the input, the charge cur- terminated or the LTC4075X is disabled. The rent is set to 500mA and when the AC adapter is PWR LED will be turned on when the input available, regardless of the USB input connection, source is sufficient to begin charging. The PWR the charge current increases to 800mA.

When the LTC4075X voltage lockout threshold (Typically 4.2V for AC is charging from the AC adapter source, a logic adapter and 4V for USB inputs). low enables the charger and when the USB input The charge currents for both USB and AC adapter is used for charging, logic high is needed to acti- charging modes and termination current setting vate the LTC4075X.
