ZSPM4521
High-Efficiency Charger for Li-Ion Batteries with Photovoltaic Sources
Features
Brief Description

The ZSPM4521 is a DC/DC synchronous switching
lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery charger with fully integrated power switches, internal compensation, and
full fault protection. It uses a temperature-independent photovoltaic maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) function to optimize power output from the
source during Full-Charge Constant-Current (CC)
Mode. Its switching frequency of 1MHz enables the
use of small filter components, resulting in smaller
board space and reduced bill-of material costs.


During Full-Charge Constant-Current Mode, the duty
cycle is controlled by the MPPT regulator. Once the
battery’s termination voltage is reached, the regulator operates in Constant Voltage Mode. In this mode,
the ZSPM4521 modulates the charging current until
the battery reaches full charge. When the regulator
is disabled (the EN pin is low), the device draws
10µA (typical) quiescent current (Disabled Mode).

The ZSPM4521 includes supervisory reporting
through the NFLT (inverted fault) open-drain output
to interface other components in the system. Device
programming is achieved by an I²C™* interface
through the SCL and SDA pins.
