MAXIM DS2731

Rev 1; 1/09
Cache-Memory Battery-Backup Management IC
The DS2731 is a complete power-management solution
for modular backup applications. It is well-suited for 2.5V
and below memory bus voltages, with an input voltage of
12V. The DS2731 includes an internal MOSFET switching
power stage for charging a one-cell lithium chemistry battery. It has a fully integrated synchronous buck regulator
capable of supplying up to 450mA of cache backup supply current, and the necessary logic and power devices
for handling the switchover from system power to battery
power. The battery charging method of the DS2731 is
constant current/constant voltage (CCCV). Output voltage
can be margined from 3.8V to 4.6V using a resistordivider. Charge is terminated when the charging current
falls below 5% of full charge current. Switchover to battery
backup is initiated by an internal comparator and occurs
automatically when a sensed-input voltage drops below
2.93V. At light loads, the 2MHz internal synchronous buck
regulator operates in burst mode for maximum efficiency.
All nonessential functions of the DS2731 are disabled
while supplying holdup current to the cache memory, and
the IC goes into very low-current dormant mode when the
battery voltage drops below a user-settable threshold.
The DS2731 keeps track of charge status and signals the
user through open-drain I/O pins that can be used to
drive LEDs.

Cache-Memory Battery-Backup Management IC
Li+ Charger
The DS2731 is a complete power-management solution
for modular backup applications. It is well suited for
2.5V and below memory bus voltages. It has a 12V
supply input for battery charging and a 3.3V aux supply
input for power failure circuitry and memory voltage
regulation. The DS2731 includes an internal MOSFETswitching power stage for charging a lithium-ion (Li+)
cell. It has a fully integrated synchronous-buck regulator capable of supplying up to 450mA of cache-backup
supply current. It also handles switching from system
power to battery power.
The battery-charging method is CCCV. Charging can
be broken into three different modes: precondition,
constant-current (CC) charge, and constant-voltage
(CV) charge. Precondition mode charges at a reduced
rate for a severely depleted cell. CC mode charge rate
is user selectable from 0.5A to 1.5A. In CV mode,
charge is terminated when the charging current falls
below 5% of CC mode charge rate. The CV mode output is also user selectable from 3.8V to 4.6V. Charge
status is signaled to the user through three open-drain
pins that can be used to drive LEDs. A thermistor input
is provided to prevent charging outside of temperature
specifications and a safety timer prevents the continued charging of a damaged cell.
Switchover to battery backup is initiated by an internal
comparator and occurs automatically when a sensed
input voltage drops below 2.93V. The power failure
switching circuitry can be disabled by the user.
Memory voltage is user selectable from 0.9V to 2.5V. At
light loads, the 2MHz internal synchronous buck regulator operates in burst mode for maximum efficiency. All
nonessential functions of the DS2731 are disabled during a power failure while supplying holdup current to
the cache memory. To prevent damaging the battery,
the regulator shuts down and the IC goes into a very
low-current dormant mode when the battery voltage
drops below a user-settable threshold (LO_BATT).
The CCCV charger circuitry is powered by the 12V
input supply. When the charger circuitry is enabled,
battery voltage is continuously monitored at the BATT+
pin. Charging begins when the battery voltage drops
below the charge restart threshold. Accurate charge
current measurements are achieved by the Kelvin
remote-sense connections at the SNS and BATT+ pins.
Measuring the voltage through a Kelvin remote-sense
connection eliminates offset error caused by small
trace resistances at high current.
Charging Algorithm
From initiate, CC charging proceeds if ENC is high, the
UVLO-CHG is false, the die temperature is below
TPROTECT_CCCV, and the battery is above the minimum
voltage. If the battery is below the minimum voltage, the
charger goes into preconditioning charge. Once the
battery voltage exceeds VMIN, the charger proceeds to
CC mode. Precondition charge has a default 30-minute
timer. If the timer expires before the battery voltage
exceeds VMIN, the charger goes to fault. For CC charging, the charge safety timer starts. CC charging proceeds until the output voltage reaches the CV set point.
The charger then proceeds to CV mode. Charging terminates when the current drops below 5% of the CC
charge rate. The charge-safety timer duration is the
sum of the CC and CV charge times and should be set
to about 15% above the expected maximum charge
time. If the charge-safety timer expires, the charger
goes to fault. After charge termination, the charger
monitors the battery voltage for self-discharge. When it
drops 200mV below the CV charge threshold, the
charger enters Initiate and a new charge cycle begins.
Note: VAUX must be above 3.08V for the charger to
operate.

Precharge mode is intended to restore severely depleted cells. Batteries with a voltage < VMIN charge at a
reduced rate, 10% x ICHG, to prevent damaging the
cell. Precharge mode has a fixed safety timer of 30
minutes. This timer is independent of the STMR pin. If
the battery voltage has not exceeded VMIN within 30
minutes, the charger goes to the fault state. The charge
pin is active during precharge mode.

CHARGE TERMINATION
Figure 4. Li+ Battery Charging Characteristics
Constant-Current (CC) Mode
CC mode is entered either directly from initiate or after
precharge. Current is regulated based on the voltage
drop across an external 50mΩ sense resistor and an
internal feedback circuit. The CC charge rate is set by
the RSET pin. It can be calculated by the following
formula:
ICHARGE = 2500/R
Where R is the value of the resistor connected to RSET.
The charge current can range from 0.5A to 1.5A.
The safety timer begins when CC mode is entered. If it
expires during CC mode, the charger enters a fault
state. If the current-sense feedback or RSET resistor is
shorted, the charger clamps current at IOVERCURRENT.
Li+ Charger CC Operation
Detailed Description
In CC mode, the CCCV charger regulates current by
monitoring the voltage drop across the SNS resistor.
The differential voltage measurement provides feedback that controls the switching of the high-side and
low-side FETs. Inside the DS2731 CHG1 and CHG2
pins are a high-side p-channel MOSFET (Q1) and a
low-side n-channel MOSFET (Q2). Q1 and Q2 alternate
on and off, either supplying current to the load and
inductor or providing a current loop for the inductor to
supply the load. The inductor charges during Q1 ON
and discharges during Q2 ON. The Q1 and Q2 switching is controlled by the voltage across RSNS.

Voltage regulation can be set from 3.8V to 4.6V. If the
safety timer expires during CV mode the charger enters
the fault state. A fault that occurs in CV mode, once
cleared, causes the charger to transition to done.
Charge resumes if/when the battery voltage collapses
to 95% (VDELTA) of the CV threshold.
Fault Conditions
IBATT

There are several types of fault conditions that can
occur. The precondition timer or safety timer can expire
and the charger enters the fault state. This fault condition must be cleared by power cycling the part or toggling ENC. If the temperate exceeds the hot or cold
limits, the charger enters fault. In the case of a temperature fault, charging resumes once the temperature
returns to the normal operation range unless the fault
occurs in CV mode. If a fault occurs in CV mode, the
charger sees a charge termination condition because
the current has dropped below 5% x ICHG. Once the
fault condition is removed the charger transitions to
done. The charger remains in the done state unless the
cell voltage collapses below 95% (VDELTA) of the CV
threshold.
Thermal Protection
Figure 5. Li+ Battery Charger CC Operation Characteristics
The current in the inductor is a combination of the current in Q1 and Q2. The voltage on the inductor is higher
during Q1 ON than Q2 ON. This allows the current in
the inductor to remain continuous because the powerin approximately equals the power-out.
Constant-Voltage (CV) Mode
CV mode is entered after CC mode when the battery
voltage reaches the CV output threshold. Battery voltage is measured at the BATT+ pin. When the voltage
reaches the CV threshold set by the MARGIN pin, regulation goes from CC mode to CV mode. Charge termination occurs when the current drops below 5% of the
CC charge rate.

The charger circuitry has a shutdown feature that pauses charging if the internal die temperature exceeds
160°C. Charging resumes after the temperature has
cooled 20°C below 160°C. The charger circuitry is also
equipped with a temperature choke point. If the die
temperature reaches 100°C, the CCCV charger begins
to choke the current 133mA/°C above 100°C. The
choke continues down to 0mA if the temperature continues to increase. These thermal-regulation features
operate independent of the thermistor input.
Enable Charger
The ENC pin is an active-high input that enables the
charger. When enabled, the DS2731 performs battery
qualification and begins charging using the CCCV
algorithm. Toggling ENC resets charge timers and
clears fault conditions. Any time ENC is low, the
DS2731 charging circuitry is disabled and the highside switch is guaranteed to be off. No current can flow
from the battery to the VIN pin when the charger is off.

tionality can be disabled by grounding the THM pin
and charging is independent of temperature. During
charging, if the voltage on the THM pin goes below
VHOT volts, the charger pauses until the voltage rises
above VHYS-HOT volts. Also, if the voltage on the THM
pin goes above VCOLD volts, the charger pauses until
the voltage falls below V HYS-COLD volts. All timers
pause while charging is interrupted and resume when
the temperature returns to the valid range. The charger
enters the fault state when an overtemperature or
undertemperature condition occurs. A 10kΩ NTC thermistor is recommended for this pin.

The CHARGE, FAULT, and DONE pins can be used as
digital discretes or as LED drivers; they are open drain.
When charging, the CHARGE pin is held low. When the
charger detects a full battery/termination condition,
ITERMINATE, the DONE pin goes low and the CHARGE
pin goes high impedance. Any charging fault (overtemperature or expiration of the safety timer) causes the
FAULT pin to flash at a 4Hz rate and the CHARGE and
DONE pins go high impedance. The FAULT pin stays
on solid, not flash, if the fault occurs in CV mode.

Safety Timer
The charger has a safety timer that controls the maximum length of time for a charge cycle. It is user selectable from 1 to 10 hours. If this timer expires and the
battery has failed to reach the termination current, the
charger enters the fault state and is latched off.
Charging does not continue until either power is cycled
or the ENC pin is strobed low and then high again. The
timer does not start until CC mode is entered and continues through CV mode. Precharge mode is not included in the STMR.

Cache-Memory Battery-Backup
Buck-Regulator Supply
(2MHz PWM)
A 2MHz internal synchronous buck regulator is used to
generate the appropriate cache-memory supply voltage. With careful inductor selection, high efficiencies
can be achieved with this type of supply (see Figures
7a and 7b). The regulator has a user-selectable voltage
range of 0.9V to 2.5V, and can supply up to 450mA.
There is also a user-selectable LO_BATT threshold with
a range of 2.5V to 3V. If the battery voltage drops
14
below this threshold, the regulator shuts down and the
IC goes into a low-power state until system power is
restored. The regulator can be disabled by the ENS pin
during normal power conditions. The buck regulator is
designed to supply enough current to power the cache
memory during data retention/refresh mode. The regulator can be enabled during normal system power, but
it cannot supply power to the cache memory during
normal operating conditions.
Note: The buck regulator and the charger should not
run simultaneously.

on load and inductor selection. The SGND pin connects to the source of the internal low-side switch. This
pin should be routed from the DS2731 to the negative
terminal of the output capacitor. There are fast transient
currents in this connection caused by the commutation
of the body-drain diode of the low-side switch when the
high-side switch turns on. Considerations should be
taken during layout to minimize EMI. The buck regulator
is equipped with an internal temperature-shutdown circuit that turns off the regulator if the circuit temperature
reaches 165°C. Regulation resumes once the temperature has cooled 15°C below 165°C.
VREG is the feedback pin for the 2MHz PWM switching
regulator cache-memory supply. The switching node
uses this voltage reference feedback to regulate the
output voltage to the value specified by DIV. The
switching power-supply high-side and low-side FETs
drive LX. The output inductor is connected to this node.
During normal operation, the switching frequency
observed on the LX pin is approximately 2MHz. The

When the scaled battery voltage drops below the voltage on LO_BATT, the IC goes into quiescent-power

Cache-Memory Battery-Backup Management IC
Power-Failure Switchover
Due to high-frequency switching, high-current loops,
and large-voltage switching, special consideration
should be taken for layout of the DS2731 board in order
to reduce EMI.
During a power-failure event, the DS2731 can assume
responsibility for supplying power to the cache memory
using the backup battery. As long as the 2MHz internal
synchronous buck regulator is enabled and the battery
voltage is above LO_BATT, the buck regulator supplies
power to the memory. During normal power the buck
regulator runs off of the aux input voltage. The DS2731
monitors the aux input voltage for power failure. During
a power-failure event, the DS2731 internally switches
the buck-regulator supply to the battery backup. The
battery is connected internally by a break-before-make
switching mux. The break-before-make circuitry
ensures that the battery is never connected to the 3.3V
aux supply. The capacitor on the CIN pin provides
power to the IC during switchover. If the buck regulator
is disabled during normal power conditions, ENS must
be driven low by the system when a loss of power is
detected.
CCCV Charger
The CCCV charger generates a high-current loop from
VIN to CHG1 and CHG2 to CGND1 and CGND2. Also,
large dV/dT is generated at CHG1 and CHG2 from the
switching on and off of the 12V supply. These combine
to generate magnetic and electric fields. To reduce
these fields, the high-current loop should be made as
small as possible. Traces should be routed point-topoint, as straight as possible, and a ground plane/shield
should be used to isolate the noise from nearby components. Also, the trace width of the charge path should
be sufficiently large enough to accommodate the high
current. SNS and BATT+ should be connected as close
as possible to the SNS resistor and BATT+ terminal for
accurate current regulation and battery voltage measurements.
The AGND pin is the analog reference connection. No
charge current flows into AGND. It should be connected as close as possible to the negative terminal of the
battery. This allows for a more accurate battery voltage
measurement by avoiding any voltage drops caused
by stray resistance in the high-current charge path.
Cache-Memory Buck Regulator
Even though the voltages and currents are not as high
as the CCCV charger, care still needs to be taken during layout of the memory buck regulator. There are fasttransient voltages at LX. The fast-transient current loop
is from CIN to LX to SGND. Again, the current loop
should be routed as small as possible and ground
shielding should be used to isolate the circuit.
Auxiliary Voltage
The aux switch monitors the aux power supply. In the
system, this supply fails before the cache-memory
power supply. When it crosses 2.93V, a comparator in
the DS2731 activates the power multiplexer and switches the power source for the buck regulator from the aux
power to the battery. This occurs as a break-beforemake operation to prevent current from flowing out of
the battery into the aux supply.
Bypass/Holdup Capacitor
The bypass/holdup capacitor, connected to pin CIN, is
sized to be able to support full input current to the switcher in the case where the ENS pin is low when the aux voltage falls below 2.93V. Since the power mux is
break-before-make, the capacitor supplies power during
the handover operation. Prior to the event, the capacitor
is charged to 2.93V, and immediately afterwards it is connected to the battery voltage through the 1Ω mux switch.
If power is restored, the conduction path between the
battery and holdup capacitor is opened before the
capacitor is connected to the 3.3V aux supply.
Enable Switcher
The buck regulator is enabled by the ENS pin. If the pin
is low, the regulator turns on supplying power to the
cache memory. The ENS pin should be driven low by
the system when the cache memory has halted active
processing and is in its data-retention/refresh mode.

Figure 9. Expected Scenario for Multiplex Switchover from Aux to Battery
Actions Occurring During Time Intervals
From T1 to T2: At T1, the power-failure signal occurs
and the system must put the cache
memory into its self-refresh mode.
Then it must shut off the system cache
supply. Between the time the system
power supply is shut off and the ENS
pin is driven low, the cache memory is
powered from its local bypass capacitance.
From T2 to T3: When the ENS pin goes low, the
DS2731 buck regulator turns on and
takes over regulation of the cachememory voltage. The power source for
the DS2731’s switcher during this
interval is the 3.3V aux voltage.
18
From T3 to T4: At time T3, the DS2731 detects that
the 3.3V aux supply is about to fail and
activates the multiplexer. However, to
prevent cross-connections between
the 3.3V aux and the battery, the multiplexer is designed as break-beforemake. The interval T3–T4 is t BRK .
During this interval the DS2731 switching supply uses the holdup capacitor
on CIN as its power source. CIN must
be sized so that it has enough capacity to hold up the regulator for tBRK.
After T4:
At T4, the multiplexer connects CIN to
the battery’s positive terminal. The regulator operates from the battery.

Package Information
This is essentially the reverse process from the powerloss sequence. Power is applied to the RAID card; the
12V and 3.3V buses turn on and become stable. The
main cache-memory power supply turns on but the
power MOSFET that connects the cache to the cachepower supply remains off. The cache-backup supply in
the DS2731 automatically switches from the battery
source to the 3.3V bus when the 3.3V bus goes above
2.93V. The system then disables ENS and enables the
cache’s power MOSFET, connecting the cache to the
main cache power supply. Enough bulk storage capacitance must be available at the cache to hold up during
this switchover time. The memory is now ready to exit
from autorefresh mode (IDD6 for DDR2 memory) and
resume full operation.
