No external sense resistor is needed, and no blocking
diode is required due to the internal MOSFET architecture.
Thermal feedback regulates the charge current to limit the
die temperature during high power operation or high
ambient temperature. The charge voltage is fixed at 4.2V,
and the charge current can be programmed externally with
a single resistor. The KB4054 automatically terminates
the charge cycle when the charge current drops to 1/10th
the programmed value after the final float voltage is
reached.
When the input supply (wall adapter or USB supply) is
removed, the KB4054 automatically enters a low current
state, dropping the battery drain current to less than 2µA.
The KB4054 can be put into shutdown mode, reducing
the supply current to 25µA.
Other features include charge current monitor, undervoltage
lockout, automatic recharge and a status pin to indicate
charge termination and the presence of an input voltage.

PIN FUNCTIONS
CHRG (Pin 1): Open-Drain Charge Status Output. When
the battery is charging, the CHRG pin is pulled low by an
internal N-channel MOSFET. When the charge cycle is
completed, a weak pull-down of approximately 20µA is
connected to the CHRG pin, indicating an “AC present”
condition. When the KB4054 detects an undervoltage
lockout condition, CHRG is forced high impedance.
PROG (Pin 5): Charge Current Program, Charge Current
Monitor and Shutdown Pin. The charge current is programmed by connecting a 1% resistor, RPROG, to ground.
When charging in constant-current mode, this pin servos
to 1V. In all modes, the voltage on this pin can be used to
measure the charge current using the following formula:
GND (Pin 2): Ground.
The PROG pin can also be used to shut down the charger.
Disconnecting the program resistor from ground allows
a 3µA current to pull the PROG pin high. When it reaches
the 1.21V shutdown threshold voltage, the charger enters
shutdown mode, charging stops and the input supply
current drops to 25µA. This pin is also clamped to
approximately 2.4V. Driving this pin to voltages beyond
the clamp voltage will draw currents as high as 1.5mA.
Reconnecting RPROG to ground will return the charger to
normal operation.
BAT (Pin 3): Charge Current Output. Provides charge
current to the battery and regulates the final float voltage
to 4.2V. An internal precision resistor divider from this pin
sets the float voltage which is disconnected in shutdown
mode.
VCC (Pin 4): Positive Input Supply Voltage. Provides
power to the charger. VCC can range from 4.25V to 6.5V
and should be bypassed with at least a 1µF capacitor.
When VCC drops to within 30mV of the BAT pin voltage, the
KB4054 enters shutdown mode, dropping I BAT to less
than 2µA.

OPERATION
The KB4054 is a single cell lithium-ion battery charger
using a constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm. It
can deliver up to 800mA of charge current (using a good
thermal PCB layout) with a final float voltage accuracy of
±1%. The KB4054 includes an internal P-channel power
MOSFET and thermal regulation circuitry. No blocking
diode or external current sense resistor is required; thus,
the basic charger circuit requires only two external components. Furthermore, the KB4054 is capable of operating from a USB power source.
Normal Charge Cycle
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin rises
above the UVLO threshold level and a 1% program resistor
is connected from the PROG pin to ground or when a
battery is connected to the charger output. If the BAT pin
is less than 2.9V, the charger enters trickle charge mode.
In this mode, the KB4054 supplies approximately 1/10
the programmed charge current to bring the battery voltage up to a safe level for full current charging. (Note: The
KB4054X does not include this trickle charge feature).
When the BAT pin voltage rises above 2.9V, the charger
enters constant-current mode, where the programmed
charge current is supplied to the battery. When the BAT
pin approaches the final float voltage (4.2V), the KB4054
enters constant-voltage mode and the charge current
begins to decrease. When the charge current drops to
1/10 of the programmed value, the charge cycle ends.
Programming Charge Current
The charge current is programmed using a single resistor
from the PROG pin to ground. The battery charge current
is 1000 times the current out of the PROG pin. The
program resistor and the charge current are calculated
using the following equations:
1000V
1000V
RPROG =
, ICHG =
ICHG
RPROG
The charge current out of the BAT pin can be determined
at any time by monitoring the PROG pin voltage using the
following equation:
IBAT =
VPROG
1000
RPROG
(VPROG =1V)
Charge Termination
A charge cycle is terminated when the charge current falls
to 1/10th the programmed value after the final float voltage
is reached. This condition is detected by using an internal,
filtered comparator to monitor the PROG pin. When the
PROG pin voltage falls below 100mV1 for longer than
tTERM (typically 1ms), charging is terminated. The charge
current is latched off and the KB4054 enters standby
mode, where the input supply current drops to 200µA.
(Note: C/10 termination is disabled in trickle charging and
thermal limiting modes).
When charging, transient loads on the BAT pin can cause
the PROG pin to fall below 100mV for short periods of time
before the DC charge current has dropped to 1/10th the
programmed value. The 1ms filter time (tTERM) on the
termination comparator ensures that transient loads of
this nature do not result in premature charge cycle termination. Once the average charge current drops below
1/10th the programmed value, the KB4054 terminates
the charge cycle and ceases to provide any current through
the BAT pin. In this state, all loads on the BAT pin must be
supplied by the battery.
The KB4054 constantly monitors the BAT pin voltage in
standby mode. If this voltage drops below the 4.05V
recharge threshold (VRECHRG), another charge cycle begins and current is once again supplied to the battery. To
manually restart a charge cycle when in standby mode, the
input voltage must be removed and reapplied, or the
charger must be shut down and restarted using the PROG
pin. Figure 1 shows the state diagram of a typical charge
cycle.
Charge Status Indicator (CHRG)
The charge status output has three different states: strong
pull-down (~10mA), weak pull-down (~20µA) and high
impedance. The strong pull-down state indicates that the
KB4054 is in a charge cycle. Once the charge cycle has
terminated, the pin state is determined by undervoltage
Note 1: Any external sources that hold the PROG pin above 100mV will prevent the KB4054
from terminating a charge cycle.

OPERATION
lockout conditions. A weak pull-down indicates that VCC
meets the UVLO conditions and the KB4054 is ready to
charge. High impedance indicates that the KB4054 is in
undervoltage lockout mode: either VCC is less than 100mV
above the BAT pin voltage or insufficient voltage is applied
to the VCC pin. A microprocessor can be used to distinguish between these three states—this method is discussed in the Applications Information section.
Thermal Limiting
An internal thermal feedback loop reduces the programmed
charge current if the die temperature attempts to rise
above a preset value of approximately 120°C. This feature
protects the KB4054 from excessive temperature and
allows the user to push the limits of the power handling
capability of a given circuit board without risk of damaging
the KB4054. The charge current can be set according to
typical (not worst-case) ambient temperature with the
assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the
current in worst-case conditions. ThinSOT power considerations are discussed further in the Applications Information section.
than 2µA and the supply current to less than 50µA. A new
charge cycle can be initiated by reconnecting the program
resistor.
In manual shutdown, the CHRG pin is in a weak pull-down
state as long as VCC is high enough to exceed the UVLO
conditions. The CHRG pin is in a high impedance state if
the KB4054 is in undervoltage lockout mode: either V CC
is within 100mV of the BAT pin voltage or insufficient voltage
is applied to the VCC pin.
Automatic Recharge
Once the charge cycle is terminated, the KB4054 continuously monitors the voltage on the BAT pin using a comparator with a 2ms filter time (tRECHARGE). A charge cycle
restarts when the battery voltage falls below 4.05V (which
corresponds to approximately 80% to 90% battery capacity). This ensures that the battery is kept at or near a fully
charged condition and eliminates the need for periodic
charge cycle initiations. CHRG output enters a strong pulldown state during recharge cycles.

BAT < 2.9V
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode until VCC
rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold. The UVLO
circuit has a built-in hysteresis of 200mV. Furthermore, to
protect against reverse current in the power MOSFET, the
UVLO circuit keeps the charger in shutdown mode if VCC
falls to within 30mV of the battery voltage. If the UVLO
comparator is tripped, the charger will not come out of
shutdown mode until VCC rises 100mV above the battery
voltage.
Manual Shutdown
At any point in the charge cycle, the KB4054 can be put
into shutdown mode by removing RPROG thus floating the
PROG pin. This reduces the battery drain current to less

The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without an output capacitor provided a battery is connected to
the charger output. With no battery present, an output
capacitor is recommended to reduce ripple voltage. When
using high value, low ESR ceramic capacitors, it is recommended to add a 1Ω resistor in series with the capacitor.
No series resistor is needed if tantalum capacitors are
used.
In constant-current mode, the PROG pin is in the feedback
loop, not the battery. The constant-current mode stability
is affected by the impedance at the PROG pin. With no
additional capacitance on the PROG pin, the charger is
stable with program resistor values as high as 20k. However, additional capacitance on this node reduces the
maximum allowed program resistor. The pole frequency
at the PROG pin should be kept above 100kHz. Therefore,
if the PROG pin is loaded with a capacitance, CPROG, the
following equation can be used to calculate the maximum
resistance value for RPROG:
RPROG ≤
1
2π 105 CPROG
Average, rather than instantaneous, charge current may
be of interest to the user. For example, if a switching power
supply operating in low current mode is connected in
parallel with the battery, the average current being pulled
out of the BAT pin is typically of more interest than the
instantaneous current pulses. In such a case, a simple RC
filter can be used on the PROG pin to measure the average
battery current as shown in Figure 2. A 10k resistor has
been added between the PROG pin and the filter capacitor
to ensure stability.

Power Dissipation
The conditions that cause the KB4054 to reduce charge
current through thermal feedback can be approximated by
considering the power dissipated in the IC. Nearly all of
this power dissipation is generated by the internal
MOSFET—this is calculated to be approximately:
PD = (VCC – VBAT) • IBAT
where PD is the power dissipated, VCC is the input supply
voltage, VBAT is the battery voltage and IBAT is the charge
current. The approximate ambient temperature at which
the thermal feedback begins to protect the IC is:
TA = 120°C – PDθJA
TA = 120°C – (VCC – VBAT) • IBAT • θJA
Example: An KB4054 operating from a 5V USB supply is
programmed to supply 400mA full-scale current to a
discharged Li-Ion battery with a voltage of 3.75V. Assuming θJA is 150°C/W (see Board Layout Considerations), the
ambient temperature at which the KB4054 will begin to
reduce the charge current is approximately:
TA = 120°C – (5V – 3.75V) • (400mA) • 150°C/W
TA = 120°C – 0.5W • 150°C/W = 120°C – 75°C
TA = 45°C

)
Moreover, when thermal feedback reduces the charge
current, the voltage at the PROG pin is also reduced
proportionally as discussed in the Operation section.
It is important to remember that KB4054 applications do
not need to be designed for worst-case thermal conditions
since the IC will automatically reduce power dissipation
when the junction temperature reaches approximately
120°C.
Thermal Considerations
Because of the small size of the ThinSOT package, it is very
important to use a good thermal PC board layout to
maximize the available charge current. The thermal path
for the heat generated by the IC is from the die to the
copper lead frame, through the package leads, (especially
the ground lead) to the PC board copper. The PC board
copper is the heat sink. The footprint copper pads should
be as wide as possible and expand out to larger copper
areas to spread and dissipate the heat to the surrounding
ambient. Feedthrough vias to inner or backside copper
layers are also useful in improving the overall thermal
performance of the charger. Other heat sources on the
board, not related to the charger, must also be considered
when designing a PC board layout because they will affect
overall temperature rise and the maximum charge current.

Increasing Thermal Regulation Current
Reducing the voltage drop across the internal MOSFET
can significantly decrease the power dissipation in the IC.
This has the effect of increasing the current delivered to
the battery during thermal regulation. One method is by
dissipating some of the power through an external component, such as a resistor or diode.
Example: An KB4054 operating from a 5V wall adapter is
programmed to supply 800mA full-scale current to a
discharged Li-Ion battery with a voltage of 3.75V. Assuming θJA is 125°C/W, the approximate charge current at an
ambient temperature of 25°C is:
IBAT =
120°C 25°C
= 608mA
(5V 3.75V) 125°C / W
By dropping voltage across a resistor in series with a 5V
wall adapter (shown in Figure 3), the on-chip power
dissipation can be decreased, thus increasing the thermally regulated charge current

VCC Bypass Capacitor
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing,
however, caution must be exercised when using multilayer ceramic capacitors. Because of the self-resonant and
high Q characteristics of some types of ceramic capacitors, high voltage transients can be generated under some
start-up conditions, such as connecting the charger input
to a live power source. Adding a 1.5Ω resistor in series
with an X5R ceramic capacitor will minimize start-up
voltage transients. For more information, refer to Application Note 88.

Charge Current Soft-Start
The KB4054 includes a soft-start circuit to minimize the
inrush current at the start of a charge cycle. When a charge
cycle is initiated, the charge current ramps from zero to the
full-scale current over a period of approximately 100µs.
This has the effect of minimizing the transient current load
on the power supply during start-up.

lengthen charge time in voltage mode if VCC becomes low

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CHRG Status Output Pin
The CHRG pin can provide an indication that the input
voltage is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold
level. A weak pull-down current of approximately 20µA
indicates that sufficient voltage is applied to VCC to begin
charging. When a discharged battery is connected to the
charger, the constant current portion of the charge cycle
begins and the CHRG pin pulls to ground. The CHRG pin
can sink up to 10mA to drive an LED that indicates that a
charge cycle is in progress.
When the battery is nearing full charge, the charger enters
the constant-voltage portion of the charge cycle and the
charge current begins to drop. When the charge current
drops below 1/10 of the programmed current, the charge
cycle ends and the strong pull-down is replaced by the
20µA pull-down, indicating that the charge cycle has
ended. If the input voltage is removed or drops below the
undervoltage lockout threshold, the CHRG pin becomes
high impedance. Figure 5 shows that by using two
different value pull-up resistors, a microprocessor can
detect all three states from this pin.

KB4054
CHRG
To detect when the KB4054 is in charge mode, force the
digital output pin (OUT) high and measure the voltage at
the CHRG pin. The N-channel MOSFET will pull the pin
voltage low even with the 2k pull-up resistor. Once the
charge cycle terminates, the N-channel MOSFET is turned
off and a 20µA current source is connected to the CHRG
pin. The IN pin will then be pulled high by the 2k pull-up
resistor. To determine if there is a weak pull-down current,
the OUT pin should be forced to a high impedance state.
The weak current source will pull the IN pin low through
the 800k resistor; if CHRG is high impedance, the IN pin
will be pulled high, indicating that the part is in a UVLO
state.
Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection
In some applications, protection from reverse polarity
voltage on VCC is desired. If the supply voltage is high
enough, a series blocking diode can be used. In other
cases, where the voltage drop must be kept low a Pchannel MOSFET can be used (as shown in Figure 6).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USB and Wall Adapter Power
The KB4054 allows charging from both a wall adapter
and a USB port. Figure 7 shows an example of how to
combine wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel
MOSFET, MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into the
USB port when a wall adapter is present and a Schottky
diode, D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through the
1k pull-down resistor.
Typically a wall adapter can supply more current than the
500mA-limited USB port. Therefore, an N-channel MOSFET,
MN1, and an extra 10k program resistor are used to
increase the charge current to 600mA when the wall
adapter is present.
