Low-Cost Battery Charger
The MAX8730 highly integrated, multichemistry, batterycharger control IC simplifies construction of accurate
and efficient chargers. The MAX8730 operates at high
switching frequency to minimize external component
size and cost. The MAX8730 uses analog inputs to control charge current and voltage, and can be programmed by a microcontroller or hardwired.
The MAX8730 reduces charge current to give priority to
the system load, effectively limiting the adapter current
and reducing the adapter current requirements.
The MAX8730 provides a digital output that indicates
the presence of an AC adapter, and an analog output
that monitors the current drawn from the AC adapter.
Based on the presence and absence of the AC
adapter, the MAX8730 automatically selects the appropriate source for supplying power to the system by controlling two external switches. Under system control, the
MAX8730 allows the battery to undergo a relearning
cycle in which the battery is completely discharged
through the system load and then recharged.
An analog output indicates adapter current or batterydischarge current. The MAX8730 provides a low-quiescent-current linear regulator, which may be used when
the adapter is absent, or disabled for reduced current
consumption
The MAX8730 is available in a small, 5mm x 5mm, 28pin, thin (0.8mm) QFN package. An evaluation kit is
available to reduce design time. The MAX8730 is
available in a lead-free package.

MAX8730
Low-Cost Battery Charger
Detailed Description
The MAX8730 includes all the functions necessary to
charge Li+, NiMH, and NiCd batteries. A high-efficiency, step-down, DC-DC converter is used to implement
a precision constant-current, constant-voltage charger.
The DC-DC converter drives a p-channel MOSFET and
uses an external free-wheeling Schottky diode. The
charge current and input current-sense amplifiers have
low-input offset errors, allowing the use of small-value
sense resistors for reduced power dissipation. Figure 2
is the functional diagram.
The MAX8730 features a voltage-regulation loop (CCV)
and two current-regulation loops (CCI and CCS). The
loops operate independently of each other. The CCV
voltage-regulation loop monitors BATT to ensure that its
voltage never exceeds the voltage set by VCTL. The
CCI battery current-regulation loop monitors current
delivered to BATT to ensure that it never exceeds the
current limit set by ICTL. The charge-current-regulation
loop is in control as long as the battery voltage is below
the set point. When the battery voltage reaches its set
point, the voltage-regulation loop takes control and
maintains the battery voltage at the set point. A third
loop (CCS) takes control and reduces the charge current when the adapter current exceeds the input current limit set by CLS.
The ICTL, VCTL, and CLS analog inputs set the charge
current, charge voltage, and input-current limit, respectively. For standard applications, default set points for
VCTL provide 4.2V per-cell charge voltage. The MODE
input selects a 3- or 4-cell mode.
Based on the presence or absence of the AC adapter,
the MAX8730 provides an open-drain logic output signal (A C O K) and connects the appropriate source to the
system. P-channel MOSFETs controlled from the PDL
and PDS select the appropriate power source. The
MODE input allows the system to perform a battery
relearning cycle. During a relearning cycle, the battery
is isolated from the charger and completely discharged
through the system load. When the battery reaches
100% depth of discharge, PDL turns off and PDS turns
on to connect the adapter to the system and to allow the
battery to be recharged to full capacity.
Setting Charge Voltage
The VCTL input adjusts the battery output voltage, VBATT.
This voltage is calculated by the following equation:
VBATT = CELLS x (4 V +
16
VVCTL
)
9
where CELLS is the number of cells selected with the
MODE input (see Table 1). Connect MODE to LDO for 4cell operation. Float the MODE input for 3-cell operation.
The battery-voltage accuracy depends on the absolute
value of VCTL, and the accuracy of the resistive voltage-divider that sets VCTL. Calculate the battery voltage accuracy according to the following equation:
x RVCTL
I

VBATT _ ERROR = E0 + 100% x  VCTL
− 1


36
where E0 is the worst-case MAX8730 battery voltage
error when using 1% resistors (0.83%), IVCTL is the
VCTL input bias current (4µA), and RVCTL is the impedance at VCTL. Connect VCTL to LDO for the default
setting of 4.20V/cell with 0.7% accuracy.
Connect MODE to GND to enter relearn mode, which
allows the battery to discharge into the system while
the adapter is present; see the Relearn Mode Section.

Setting Charge Current
ICTL sets the maximum voltage across current-sense
resistor RS2, which determines the charge current. The
full-scale differential voltage between CSIP and CSIN is
135mV (4.5A for RS2 = 30mΩ). Set ICTL according to
the following equation:
VICTL = ICHG x RS2 x
3.6V
135mV
The input range for ICTL is 0 to 3.6V. To shut down the
charger, pull ICTL below 65mV. Choose a current-sense
resistor (RS2) to have a sufficient power rating to handle
the full-charge current. The current-sense voltage may
be reduced to minimize the power dissipation. However,
this can degrade accuracy due to the current-sense
amplifier’s input offset (±2mV). See the Typical
Operating Characteristics to estimate the charge-current accuracy at various set points. The charge-current
error amplifier (GMI) is compensated at the CCI pin.
See the Compensation section.

MAX8730
Low-Cost Battery Charger
The MAX8730 includes a foldback feature, which
reduces the Schottky requirement at low battery voltages. See the Foldback Current Section.
Setting Input-Current Limit
The total input current, from a wall adapter or other DC
source, is the sum of the system supply current and the
current required by the charger. When the input current
exceeds the set input current limit, the MAX8730
decreases the charge current to provide priority to system load current. System current normally fluctuates as
portions of the system are powered up or put to sleep.
The input-current-limit circuit reduces the power
requirement of the AC wall adapter, which reduces
adapter cost. As the system supply rises, the available
charge current drops linearly to zero. Thereafter, the
total input current can increase without limit.
The total input current is the sum of the device supply current, the charger input current, and the system load current. The total input current can be estimated as follows:
I
x VBATTERY
IINPUT = ILOAD + CHARGE
VIN x η
where I INPUT is the DC current supplied by the AC
adapter, G IINP is the transconductance of IINP
(2.8µA/mV typ), and R 10 is the resistor connected
between IINP and ground. Connect a 0.1µF filter
capacitor from IINP to GND to reduce ripple. IINP has a
0 to 4.5V output-voltage range. Connect IINP to GND if
it is not used.
The MAX8730 provides a short-circuit latch to protect
against system overload or short. The latch is set when
VIINP rises above 4.2V, and disconnects the adapter
from the system by turning PDS off (PDL does not
change). The latch is reset by bringing SRC below
UVLO (remove and reinsert the adapter). Choose a filter capacitor that is large enough to provide appropriate debouncing and prevent accidental faults, yet
results in a response time that is fast enough to thermally protect the MOSFETs. See the System Short
Circuit section.
IINP can be used to measure battery-discharge current
(see Figure 1) when the adapter is absent. To disable
IINP and reduce battery consumption to 10µA, drive

low, even if the adapter is present.
where η is the efficiency of the DC-DC converter (typically 85% to 95%).
AC-Adapter Detection and
Power-Source Selection
CLS sets the maximum voltage across the currentsense resistor RS1, which determines the input current
limit. The full-scale differential voltage between CSSP
and CSSN is 75mV (5A for RS1 = 15mΩ). Set CLS
according to the following equation:
The MAX8730 includes a hysteretic comparator that
detects the presence of an AC power adapter and
automatically selects the appropriate power source.
When the adapter is present (V ASNS > V BATT -100mV) the battery is disconnected from the system
load with the p-channel (P3) MOSFET. When the
adapter is removed (VASNS < VBATT - -270mV), PDS
turns off and PDL turns on with a 5µs break-beforemake sequence.
The A C O K output can be used to indicate the presence
of the adapter. When VACIN > 2.1V and VASNS > VBATT
- 100mV, A C O K becomes low. Connect a 10kΩ pullup
resistor between LDO and A C O K. Use a resistive voltage-divider from the adapter’s output to the ACIN pin to
set the appropriate detection threshold. Since ACIN
has a 6V absolute maximum rating, set the adapter
threshold according to the following equation:
VCLS = ILIMIT x RS1 x
VREF
75mV
The input range for CLS is 1.1V to VREF. Choose a current-sense resistor (RS1) to have a sufficient power rating to handle the full system current. The current-sense
resistor may be reduced to improve efficiency, but this
degrades accuracy due to the current-sense amplifier’s
input offset (±3mV). See the Typical Operating Characteristics to estimate the input current-limit accuracy at
various set points. The input current-limit error amplifier
(GMS) is compensated at the CCS pin; see the Compensation section.
Input-Current Measurement
IINP monitors the system-input current sensed across
CSSP and CSSN. The voltage of IINP is proportional to
the input current according to the following equation:
VIINP = IINPUT x RS1 x GIINP x R10

Relearn Mode
The MAX8730 can be programmed to perform a relearn
cycle to calibrate the battery’s fuel gauge. This cycle
consists of isolating the battery from the charger and discharging it through the system load. When the battery

Low-Cost Battery Charger
LDO Regulator, REF, and SWREF
An integrated linear regulator (LDO) provides a 5.35V
supply derived from SRC, and delivers over 10mA of
load current. LDO biases the 4.2V reference (REF) and
most of the control circuitry. Bypass LDO to GND with a
1µF ceramic capacitor. An additional standalone 1%,
3.3V linear regulator (SWREF) provides 20mA and can
remain on when the adapter is absent. Set REFON low
to disable SWREF. Set REFON high for normal operation. SWREF must be enabled to allow charging.
• The IMIN comparator sets the peak inductor current
in discontinuous mode. IMIN compares the control
signal (LVC) against 100mV (corresponding to
222mA when RS2 = 30mΩ). The comparator terminates the switch on-time when IMIN exceeds the
threshold.
• The CCMP comparator is used for current-mode regulation in continuous conduction mode. CCMP compares LVC against the charging-current feedback
signal (CSI). The comparator output is high and the
MOSFET on-time is terminated when the CSI voltage
is higher than LVC.
• The IMAX comparator provides a cycle-by-cycle current limit. IMAX compares CSI to 2.95V (corresponding to 6.56A when RS2 = 30mΩ). The comparator
output is high and the MOSFET on-time is terminated
when the current-sense signal exceeds 6.56A. A new
cycle cannot start until the IMAX comparator output
goes low.
• The OVP comparator is used to prevent overvoltage
at the output due to battery removal. OVP compares
BATT against the set voltage; see the Setting Charge
Voltage section. When BATT is 20mV x CELLS above
the set value, OVP goes high and the MOSFET ontime is terminated.
Operating Conditions
• Adapter present: The adapter is considered to be
present when:

The MAX8730 employs a step-down DC-DC converter
with a p-channel MOSFET switch and an external

operates in discontinuous conduction mode for
improved efficiency. The operation of the DC-DC controller is determined by the following four comparators

reaches 100% depth of discharge, it is then recharged.
Connect MODE to GND to place the MAX8730 in
relearn mode. In relearn mode, charging stops, PDS
turns off, and PDL turns on.
To utilize relearn mode, there must be two source-connected MOSFETs to prevent the AC adapter from supplying current to the system through the P1’s body
diode. Connect SRC to the common source node of
two MOSFETs.
The system must alert the user before performing a
relearn cycle. If the user removes the battery during
relearn mode, the MAX8730 detects battery removal
and reconnects the AC adapter (PDS turns on and PDL
turns off). Battery removal is detected when the battery
falls below 5xRELTH.
MAX8730
Low-Cost Battery Charger
CCV, CCI, CCS, and LVC Control Blocks
The MAX8730 controls input current (CCS control loop),
charge current (CCI control loop), or charge voltage
(CCV control loop), depending on the operating condition. The three control loops—CCV, CCI, and CCS—are
brought together internally at the lowest voltage clamp
(LVC) amplifier. The output of the LVC amplifier is the
feedback control signal for the DC-DC controller. The
minimum voltage at the CCV, CCI, or CCS appears at
the output of the LVC amplifier and clamps the other
control loops to within 0.3V above the control point.
Clamping the other two control loops close to the lowest control loop ensures fast transition with minimal
overshoot when switching between different control
loops (see the Compensation section).
Continuous-Conduction Mode
With sufficient charge current, the MAX8730’s inductor
current never crosses zero, which is defined as continuous-conduction mode. The controller starts a new
cycle by turning on the high-side MOSFET. When the
charge-current feedback signal (CSI) is greater than
the control point (LVC), the CCMP comparator output
goes high and the controller initiates the off-time by
turning off the MOSFET. The operating frequency is
governed by the off-time, which depends upon VBATT.
At the end of the fixed off-time, the controller initiates a
new cycle only if the control point (LVC) is greater than
100mV, and the peak charge current is less than the
cycle-by-cycle current limit. Restated another way,
IMIN must be high, IMAX must be low, and OVP must
be low for the controller to initiate a new cycle. If the
peak inductor current exceeds the IMAX comparator
threshold or the output voltage exceeds the OVP
threshold, then the on-time is terminated. The cycle-bycycle current limit protects against overcurrent and
short-circuit faults.
The MAX8730 computes the off-time by measuring
VBATT:
tOFF = 5.6µs/VBATT
for VBATT > 4V.
The switching frequency in continuous mode varies
according to the equation:
f =

 VSRC − VBATT
Discontinuous Conduction
The MAX8730 operates in discontinuous conduction
mode at light loads to make sure that the inductor current is always positive. The MAX8730 enters discontinuous conduction mode when the output of the LVC
control point falls below 100mV. For RS2 = 30mΩ, this
corresponds to a peak inductor current of 222mA:
IDIS =
1

The MAX8730 implements slope compensation in discontinuous mode to eliminate multipulsing. This prevents audible noise and minimizes the output ripple.
Compensation
The charge-voltage and charge current-regulation
loops are compensated separately and independently
at the CCV, CCI, and CCS pins.
CCV Loop Compensation
The simplified schematic in Figure 4 is sufficient to
describe the operation of the MAX8730 when the voltage loop (CCV) is in control. The required compensation network is a pole-zero pair formed with CCV and
RCV. The pole is necessary to roll off the voltage loop’s
response at low frequency. The zero is necessary to
compensate the pole formed by the output capacitor
and the load. RESR is the equivalent series resistance
(ESR) of the charger output capacitor (COUT). RL is the
equivalent charger output load, where RL = ∆VBATT /
∆ICHG. The equivalent output impedance of the GMV

Setting the LTF = 1 to solve for the unity-gain frequency
yields:
The poles and zeros of the voltage-loop transfer function
are listed from lowest frequency to highest frequency in
Table 2.
Near crossover, CCV is much lower impedance than
ROGMV. Since CCV is in parallel with ROGMV, CCV dominates the parallel impedance near crossover. Additionally
RCV is much higher impedance than CCV and dominates
the series combination of RCV and CCV, so:
ROGMV x (1 + sCCV × RCV)
≅ RCV
(1 + sCCV × ROGMV)
COUT is typically much lower impedance than RL near
crossover so the parallel impedance is mostly capacitive and:

fCO-CV = 45kHz
To ensure that the compensation zero adequately cancels the output pole, select fZ_CV ≤ fP_OUT:
CCV ≥ (RL / RCV) COUT
CCV ≥ 200pF

The simplified schematic in Figure 6 is sufficient to
describe the operation of the MAX8730 when the battery current loop (CCI) is in control. Since the output

MOSFET Drivers
The DHI output is optimized for driving moderate-sized
power MOSFETs. This is consistent with the variable
duty factor that occurs in the notebook computer environment where the battery voltage changes over a wide
range. DHI swings from SRC to DHIV and has a typical
impedance of 1Ω sourcing and 4Ω sinking.
Design Procedure
MOSFET Selection
Choose the p-channel MOSFETs according to the maximum required charge current. The MOSFET (P4) must
be able to dissipate the resistive losses plus the switching losses at both VSRC(MIN) and VSRC(MAX).
The worst-case resistive power losses occur at the
maximum battery voltage. Calculate the resistive losses
according to the following equation:
PDRe sis tan ce =
VBATT
x ICHG 2 × RDS(ON)

I
 GATE

f
These calculations provide an estimate and are not a
substitute for breadboard evaluation, preferably including a verification using a thermocoupler mounted on
the MOSFET.
Generally, a small MOSFET is desired to reduce switching losses at VBATT = VSRC / 2. This requires a tradeoff
between gate charge and resistance. Switching losses
in the MOSFET can become significant when the maximum AC adapter voltage is applied. If the MOSFET that
was chosen for adequate RDS(ON) at low supply voltages becomes hot when subjected to VSRC(MAX), then
choose a MOSFET with lower gate charge. The actual
switching losses that can vary due to factors include
the internal gate resistance, threshold voltage, source
inductance, and PC board layout characteristics.
See Table 3 for suggestions about MOSFET selection.
Calculate the switching losses according to the following equation:
PDSWITCHING =
where CRSS is the reverse transfer capacitance of the
MOSFET, and IGATE is the peak gate-drive source/sink
current.
The Schottky diode conducts the inductor current during the off-time. Choose a Schottky diode with the
appropriate thermal resistance to guarantee that it does
not overheat:

The ripple current is determined by:
The Schottky size and cost can be reduced by utilizing
the MAX8730 foldback function. See the Foldback
Current section for more information.
The ripple current is only dependent on inductance
value and is independent of input and output voltage.
See the Ripple Current vs. VBATT graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Select the Schottky diode to minimize the battery leakage
current when the charger is shut down.
∆IL =

See Table 4 for suggestions about inductor selection.
Inductor Selection
Input Capacitor Selection
The MAX8730 uses a fixed inductor current ripple
architecture to minimize the inductance. The charge
current, ripple, and operating frequency (off-time)
affects inductor selection. For a good trade-off of
inductor size and efficiency, choose the inductance
according to the following equation:
The input capacitor must meet the ripple current
requirement (IRMS) imposed by the switching currents.
Ceramic capacitors are preferred due to their resilience
to power-up surge currents:
L =
k OFF
0.4 x ICHG
where kOFF is the off-time constant (5.6V x µs typically).
Higher inductance values decrease the RMS current at
the cost of inductor size.
Inductor L1 must have a saturation current rating of at
least the maximum charge current plus 1/2 of the ripple
current (∆IL):
ISAT = ICHG + (1/2) ∆IL

at 50% duty cycle.
The input capacitors should be sized so that the temperature rise due to ripple current in continuous conduction does not exceed about 10°C. The maximum
ripple current occurs at 50% duty factor or VSRC = 2 x
VBATT, which equates to 0.5 x ICHG. If the application
of interest does not achieve the maximum value, size
the input capacitors according to the worst-case conditions. See Table 5 for suggestions about input capacitor selection.

Low-Cost Battery Charger
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor absorbs the inductor ripple current and must tolerate the surge current delivered from
the battery when it is initially plugged into the charger.
As such, both capacitance and ESR are important
parameters in specifying the output capacitor as a filter
and to ensure stability of the DC-DC converter (see the
Compensation section). Beyond the stability requirements, it is often sufficient to make sure that the output
capacitor’s ESR is much lower than the battery’s ESR.
Either tantalum or ceramic capacitors can be used on
the output. Ceramic devices are preferable because of
their good voltage ratings and resilience to surge currents. For a ceramic output capacitor, select the capacitance according to the following equation:

The adapter selection MOSFETs may be soft-started to

Figure 10 shows the adapter soft-start application using
Miller capacitance for optimum soft-start timing and
power dissipation.
System Short-Circuit IINP Configuration
The MAX8730 has a system short-circuit protection feature. When VIINP is greater than 4.2V, the MAX8730
latches off PDS. PDS remains off until the adapter is
removed and reinserted. For fast response to system
overcurrent, add an RC (C13 and R15), as shown in
Figure 11.
Select R15 according to the following equation:
R15 =
The output ripple requirement of a charger is typically
only constrained by the overvoltage protection circuitry
of the battery protector and the overvoltage protection
of the charger. For proper operation, ensure that the
ripple is smaller than the overvoltage protection threshold of both the charger and the battery protector. If the
protector’s overvoltage protection is filtered, the battery
protector may not be a constraint.

Layout and Bypassing
Bypass SRC, ASNS, LDO, DHIV, and REF as shown in
Figure 1.
Good PC board layout is required to achieve specified
noise immunity, efficiency, and stable performance.
The PC board layout artist must be given explicit
instructions—preferably, a sketch showing the placement of the power-switching components and highcurrent routing. Refer to the PC board layout in the
MAX8730 evaluation kit for examples.
Use the following step-by-step guide:
1) Place the high-power connections first, with their
grounds adjacent:
• Minimize the current-sense resistor trace lengths,
and ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin
connections.
• Minimize ground trace lengths in the high-current
paths.
• Minimize other trace lengths in the high-current
paths.
• Use > 5mm wide traces in the high-current
paths.
• Connect to the input capacitors directly to the
source of the high-side MOSFET (10mm max
length). Place the input capacitor between the
input current-sense resistor and the source of the
high-side MOSFET.
2) Place the IC and signal components. Quiet connections to REF, CCV, CCI, CCS, ACIN, SWREF, and
LDO SRC should be returned to a separate ground
(GND) island. There is very little current flowing in
these traces, so the ground island need not be very
large. When placed on an inner layer, a sizable
ground island can help simplify the layout because
the low current connections can be made through
vias. The ground pad on the backside of the package should be the star connection to this quiet
ground island.
3) Keep the gate drive trace (DHI) and SRC path as
short as possible (L < 20mm), and route them away
from the current-sense lines and REF. Bypass DHIV
directly to the source of the high-side MOSFET.
These traces should also be relatively wide (W >
1.25mm).
4) Place ceramic bypass capacitors close to the IC.
The bulk capacitors can be placed further away.
