GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ACT2803 is a space-saving and dedicated singlechip solution for dual-cell battery charge and
discharge. It takes 5V USB input source to charge a
dual cell battery with boost configuration in three
phases: preconditioning, constant current, and
constant voltage. Charge is terminated when the
current reaches 10% of the fast charge rate. The
battery charger is thermally regulated at 110˚C with
charge current foldback.
If input 5V is not present, ACT2803 discharge a
dual cell battery with buck configuration to provide
5.07V+/-1% to output ports. There is a power path
from input to output. The cycle-by-cycle peak
current mode control, constant current regulation,
short circuit protection and over voltage protection
maximize safe operation.
ACT2803 provides 4 LED drive pins for battery
capacity level and charge status indication to
indicate 25%, 50%, 75%, and 75% above battery
level with battery impedance compensation. The
LED indication patterns are programmable .
ACT2803 is available in a thermally enhanced
5mmx5mm QFN55-40 package with exposed pad.

Rev 1, May-12-2016
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
ACT2803 is a complete battery charging and
discharging power management solution for
applications of dull-cell lithium-based backup
battery pack or power bank.
With the advanced bidirectional architecture, a
synchronous boost/buck converter is connected
from VOUT to switching node (SW). The converter
could be configured as either boost to charge
battery or buck to discharge battery.
Modes of Operation
ACT2803 has 3 operation modes: charge mode,
discharge mode, and high-impedance (HZ) mode.
High Impedance (HZ) Mode
HZ mode is the default mode. In HZ mode, all the
switches are turned off , only PB circuit alive and
the IC draws less than 10uA current from VBAT.
threshold, boost converter charges battery with
constant current. In fast charge state, the ACT2803
charges at the current set by the external resistor
connected at the ICST pin. During a normal charge
cycle fast charge continues in CC mode until VBAT
reaches the charge termination voltage, at which
point the ACT2803 charges in top off state.
Top Off
Device transitions from Fast Charge (CC) to Top
Off (CV), and moves to EOC (End of Charge) state
when charging current is less than IEOC.
End of Charge
In Top Off mode, when charges current decreases
to 10% of set fast charge current, the boost
converter goes into end of charge mode and keep
monitoring the battery voltage.
Recharge
Discharge Mode
In discharge mode, Buck converter operates in CV/
CC regulation. VOUT current limit is set at 2.65A.
Charge Mode
ACT2803 is configured in charge mode (boost
mode) when VIN is valid. In this mode, a battery is
charged with trickle, preconditioning, fast charge,
top-off and end of charge (EOC). The typical
charge management is shown in Figure 1.
Precondition Charge
When operating in precondition state, the cell is
charged at a reduced current at 15% of the
programmed maximum fast charge constant
current. Once VBAT reaches the precondition
threshold voltage the state machine jumps to the
fast charge state.
In EOC, device would re-charge batteries when
both battery voltage levels drops 5% below VEOC.
Battery Removal
If the battery is removed, boost converter regulates
at the programmed regulation voltage.
Cell Balance
Cell Balance is activated in both Fast Charge and
Top Off modes. Each battery is connected with a
parallel bleeding switch.
Push Button
PB is always watched in HZ mode and discharge
mode. If the push but on PB is pressed for >40mS
in HZ mode, the LED (s) will turn on for 5 seconds.
In the mean time, discharge mode is enabled.

During discharge mode, inputs of battery current
sense amp are flipped to sense discharge current,
and voltage level at pin ICST can be used (by the
system) to monitor the magnitude of discharge
current based on the following equation.

For example: VICST=0.4V with I_DISCHARGE=1A,
and RICST=8kΩ.
LED Threshold Setting
LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 thresholds are
adjustable with external resistors RLS1, RLS2, RLS3,
and RLS4 connected from LEDLS1, LEDLS2,

LED Hysteresis Window Setting
The adjustable LED voltage thresholds are set for
HZ mode. In charge mode, the measured battery
voltage is higher than in HZ mode, while in
discharge mode, the measured battery voltage is
lower. To have relatively better “fuel gauge” for
battery, a programmable hysteresis window will
help. When the battery voltage goes up (in charge
mode), the thresholds become higher, when the
battery voltage goes down, lower thresholds are
applied.
ACT2803 provide HYST pin to set hysteresis
window for each indication level as shows in Figure

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
current source provides a bias current to generate
TH voltage. The ACT2803 compares the voltage at
the TH pin with the internal VTHH and VTHL
thresholds to determine if charging or discharging is
allowed. When VTH<VTHL or VTH >VTHH, it will be
triggered latch off fault, there is 3 ways to wake up
ACT2803 when VTH returns to the normal range.
HYST pin is regulated at 1V. Its input current will
determine hysteresis adjustment equally to all level.
Connect HYST to APGN via a resistor to set
hysteresis window.
Beside the hysteresis window, to avoid comparison
oscillation, fixed 100mV of hysteresis is added to
each LEVEL comparator.
1. Push PB when latch off bit is not set
2. I2C to clear faults in standby
3. Plug Vin to power up

is used to set the impedance from 100mΩ to

From (7) (8) (9) and (10) calculate Ra and Rb in
charge mode, as the same method, the resistors in
discharge mode can be calculated.
For example, use NXRT15XH103 NTC resistor, the
temperature in charge mode is 0℃ to 45℃,we
know RNTCC=27.219k and 4.917k at 0℃ to 45℃,
respectively. We can calculate Ra=33kΩ and
Rb=2.87kΩ based on the above formulas. As the
same method we can calculate the value when the
temperature is -20℃ to 60℃.
Cell Balance Setting
ACT2803 has integrated a cell balance feature to
reduce the un-balance charge between dual
batteries. Normally cell balance is activated during
Fast Charge and Top Off modes.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In charge mode, the battery charger provides bias
current to balance battery charge. The balance
resistor is either connected to upper battery or
lower battery depending on which battery voltage is
higher. The balance resistor is connected in parallel
with one battery that is higher than the other
battery. For extremely unbalanced 2S batteries, the
charger takes a few cycles to make two battery
voltage balanced. For some applications, like
removable dual cell batteries, a charger is required
to balance dual cells in one charge cycle. In this
case, the circuit shown in Figure 5 is recommended.
The balance current through the 22 Ohm
resistor needs to be higher than EOC current
threshold.
the LEDs are 0.5Hz with 1s on and 1s off.
In HZ mode, when PB is pressed for 40ms, Buck
turns on. If VBAT<LED1, LED1 starts flashing until
Buck turns off.
Conventional indication patterns could behave to
have two application. Setting RPT=4kΩ to have
“Always On”, setting RPT=12kΩ to have “5s
Indication”. The behaviors for both setting are same
in charge mode.
See below table for more information.

LED Indication ACT2803 is designed 5 levels of PT pin voltage into
5 application patterns. A resistor is connected from
PT pin to ground and the voltage at PT pin
programs the LED indication patterns shown in
Figure 6 .
LED1-4 Refreshing Cycle
Every time when VIN is plugged in or a PB is
pushed, LED1, 2, 3, 4 turns on sequentially at 0.5s
interval, like a LED scanning, and then goes into
corresponding mode defined by PT pin.
LED1-4 Fault Alarm Signal
At fault conditions, actions are taken. In the
meantime, all the 4 LEDs turn on/off with 0.5s on
and 0.5s off for 10 seconds to send alarm signal
out. The fault conditions include battery OVP, UVP,
OTP.

When laying out the printed circuit board, the
following checklist should be used to ensure proper
operation of the IC.
1. Arrange the power components to reduce the
AC loop area.

ACT2803
Rev 1, May-12-2016
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
2. Place the decoupling ceramic capacitor as
close to BAT pin as possible. Use different
capacitance combination to get better EMI
performance.
3. Place the decoupling ceramic capacitors close
to VIN pin, VOUT pin, and BAT pin.
4. Use copper plane for power GND for best heat
dissipation and noise immunity.
5. Connect battery with the sequence of BATN>BATP->BATC.
6. Use Kevin sense from sense resistors to CSP
and CSN pins, and the sense resistor from
BATS and BATP pins.
7. SW pad is a noisy node switching. It should be
isolated away from the rest of circuit for good
EMI and low noise operation.
8. Thermal pad is connected to GND layer through
vias. PGND and AGND should be single-point
connected.
9. RC snubber and external Schottky diode across
SW to PGND can be added as needed for
reducing SW spike and better EMI
performance.
