Furthermore, the LM3655 provides effective and comprehensive discharge control functionality. All operating load
current is supplied by the Li-Ion battery and passes through
this IC. This allows the battery power to disconnect due to
overload, short-circuit or low battery conditions. The IC also
offers extensive battery safety protection against overvoltage and over-current. The internal safety circuit is
backed up by an identical circuit to provide safety redundancy. The LM3655 requires minimal external components
and is packaged in a micro surface mount device for integration in a single cell battery pack.

9.0 Operation Description
Refer to Typical Application Circuit for external and internal component reference designators such as Q1, M5, etc.
10.0 Pin Functions
10.1 VIN
VIN is the input pin for the charging current from the external power source to the battery/cell. When the phone is operating from
an external supply, cell phone operating current also passes through this pin. Total input current into the VIN pin is internally
sensed by monitoring the voltage drop across the series sensing FET M5.
VIN is derived from the output (collector) of Q1, and not directly connected to the external source. If the external power supply
(VPS) potential exceeds a maximum safe limit, Q1 will be controlled to protect the cell and phone circuits from over-voltage. Q1
provides the primary over-voltage protection mechanism for the phone circuits and the cell.
10.2 CELL
CELL is connected directly to the battery/cell positive terminal. Under normal operation of the phone, it serves as the main power
supply pin for the LM3655.
When the phone is drawing current from the battery, current will flow into this pin and out through the internal FET M4 to supply
the phone’s operating rail (RADIO_B+). When connected to an external supply to charge the battery, current will flow through M5
and out of this pin into the cell. If the phone is being operated while connected to an external power supply, the phone’s operating
current (current out of the RADIO_B+ pin) will be the sum of the currents into the CELL and VIN pins.
10.3 RADIO_B+
All power for the phone’s operation (other than battery charging) is derived from this pin. The phone’s operating current flows
through M4, which is controlled and monitored to prevent overload or short-circuit currents, and disabled during cell under-voltage
conditions.

10.0 Pin Functions

10.4 VDETECT
This pin is coupled to the external power supply through a series resistance (R4). It is used to determine when an external source
(charger) is connected, which in turn initiates the device’s charge control logic. The CHRG_DETB output is set based on input to
this pin.
10.5 DISABLE
The phone can stop the charge current through use of the DISABLE logic input pin of the IC. Asserting a logic high on the
DISABLE Pin of the IC will force the control pin (CNTRL) to turn off the external Drive (Q2) and Pass (Q1) transistors so there
is no charge current to the cell. The DISABLE input can be driven high by the phone’s logic at any time to interrupt the charge
current. Use of the DISABLE pin during charging can allow the phone to measure the cell’s true voltage by peripheral circuitry
(without the presence of charge current input) if desired.
Additionally, a high-to-low transition on the DISABLE pin (thus re-enabling the charger operation), will reset the charge control
state machine.
10.6 CHEMISTRY
The CHEMISTRY pin provides a logic input to the IC that determines the termination threshold for Li-ion cell charging. A logic low
applied to this pin selects the lower charging threshold or termination voltage (VTERML), a logic high selects the higher charging
threshold (VTERMH).
Because different cell types may require slightly different charge termination thresholds, the LM3655 supports a pinprogrammable selection between two different settings. The lower threshold is nominally 4.10V, and the higher threshold is
nominally 4.16V.
10.7 HIB_EN
This pin provides a logic input to the IC that when held high during a debounce period of 32 mS, M4 will be latched open even
if the cell voltage is above VCHARGE_LOW. This pin has a 10K pull-down resistor internal to the IC so that the IC will default on.
10.8 HIS_DIS
This pin provides a logic input to the IC that when held low momentarily, the latch holding M4 open is cleared allowing it to be
closed when the cell voltage is above VCHARGE_LOW. This pin has a 100K pullup resistor to the CELL pin internal to the IC.
10.9 BATT_DETB
BATT_DETB indicates to the LM3655 IC that a cell is present in the system. This pin provides a logic input to the IC that when
held low, the IC will be able to detect the presence of a charger. There is a 100K pull-up resistor internal to the IC on this pin, which
is supplied from the charger (not from the cell).
A series 10K resistor is to be used between this pin and the removable battery to protect the IC against ESD.
10.10 CHRG_STATE
CHRG_STATE is an open-drain logic output to the phone, and can be used to provide a simple battery-metering indication during
charge mode. During charge mode, with current flowing into the cell, the Li-ion cell voltage cannot be used for an accurate
indication of state of charge. If a battery is at a relatively low state of charge, it will remain in the “full-rate” charge mode for some
period of time when connected to the external power supply. When the cell reaches a higher state of charge, the charge control
switches to the trickle/top-off mode. Thus, this signal is logic low during full-rate charge mode and high during the trickle/top-off
mode. The exact percentage of “full” at this crossover point will vary depending on many conditions, primarily full-rate charge
current level, but is expected to be > 60% for typical use with a mid-rate charger.
This information can be used to provide a simple “charging” or “ready” indication by the system for the battery status meter during
charge. If combined with a timer, or other means of interaction by the system (such as periodic control of the DISABLE pin
combined with cell voltage measurements during periods of no current flow) a more complete metering method may be
implemented if desired.
10.11 CHRG_DET
This is an open-drain output to the phone’s power management IC that indicates the connection of an external power supply.
Typical application uses a 30K pull-up resistor to RADIO_B+. When a charger is detected, this output is pulled LOW by the
internal logic of the LM3655. This signal may be pulled up to a low-voltage logic rail such as 2.75V or 1.8V regulated voltage. It
is assumed that the voltage used to pull-up is no higher than the cell voltage.
10.12 CNTRL
This is an analog output to control Q2, the NPN drive transistor. The CNTRL output is adjusted to deliver the appropriate level of
current required by the charge algorithm for full-rate or trickle/top-off charging. During full-rate charging, CNTRL is set such that
Q1 will be saturated. During trickle/top-off mode, CNTRL will be set in order to maintain the appropriate cell clamp voltage (4.10V
or 4.16V as desired). Furthermore, if the power-monitoring circuit determines that excess power is being dissipated in, the CNTRL
signal will be further reduced to limit current flowing through Q1. This ensures that the Q1 pass device remains within safe power
dissipation limits.

10.13 EXT_PWR_ON
EXT_PWR_ON is a digital push-pull output. A logic 1, referenced to the Radio_B+ level is output when Vcell exceeds Vphone_on
(nominally 3.00V) and CHRG_DETB = 0 (charger presence is detected) and BATT_DETB is low. Otherwise, EXT_PWR_ON is
held low to prevent the phone from attempting to turn on due to charger connection when there is either no battery present or
when the battery is not charged enough for the phone to operate.
11.0 Charge Control Functions
11.1 GENERAL OPERATION
The LM3655 circuit is able to operate with different types of charge power supplies with a wide range of input voltage and
currents, including but not limited to unregulated current limited wall adapters, regulated wall adapters and Vehicle Power
Adapters with 1A of current limit.
The IC protects itself from high voltages by using Q1 and Q2 to stand off these voltages. It also uses resistors to current limit the
VDETECT pin. High currents are handled by using current regulation during both the full-rate and the trickle/top-off phases of
charging the battery. Power dissipation in Q1 is controlled using a constant-power control circuit within the IC.
The LM3655 has multiple modes of operation for charging and protecting the embedded cell. The three basic modes of operation
are low voltage charging, full-rate charging, and trickle charging. During the charge process, the power dissipation in the pass
element Q1 is monitored and controlled to a safe maximum limit by reducing charge current as necessary.
Because of quantization error or power supply voltage fluctuations, the power-limiting circuit may (in some cases) reduce cell
current to a level lower than necessary for extended periods of time. To counteract this, the IC periodically activates a charger test
pulse during the full-rate and trickle charging modes. This allows the power supply to deliver full-rate current, although the cell
voltage is always regulated such that it does not exceed the termination voltage (4.10V or 4.16V as determined by the
CHEMISTRY pin). The test pulse allows the cell to be charged at the fastest possible rate by allowing the charge control to
re-enter the full-rate charge (Q1 saturated) mode whenever possible. The test pulses are enabled during full-rate and trickle/
top-off charge modes, have a nominal duration of 256 mS, and are repeated every 64 seconds. This is referred to as ‘burp’ mode.
Figure 1 shows the cell voltage thresholds used in the selection of the charging modes. The horizontal (time) axis is intended to
illustrate the progression of a complete charge/discharge cycle of operation.

(Continued)
The Shunt Regulator (Z1) on the VDETECT pin is designed to sink a limited amount of current while maintaining certain levels of
regulation. These are specified below. When there is excessive current flowing into the VDETECT pin above which Z1 can regulate,
then current can flow through D1 into the cell pin. When the cell pin voltage exceeds VSHUNT, ICELL_SHUNT turns on. The
ICELL_SHUNT circuit is implemented redundantly. ICELL_SHUNT shunts current to ground through effectively 100Ω when both
redundant circuits are operating.

11.2.2 Debounce Function
The charger debounce detects a temporary disconnect/connect of the charging power supply. This can occur when the end-user
inserts the power supply to the phone and the connection is not made cleanly, or if the connection is disturbed (such as dropping
the phone).
When the IC first senses the power supply input voltage it will delay τDEBOUNCE_ON before the charger detect signal is confirmed.
If there is disconnect of the charge power supply, the IC will delay τDEBOUNCE_OFF before the disconnection is confirmed. The IC
will ignore the interruptions of duration shorter than specified. These specs apply to the entire Normal Temperature Range.

11.2.3 Power Supply Test Pulses
The purpose of the test pulse operation is for the IC to periodically test the charging power supply’s full-rate current capability. This
operation only occurs when the cell voltage is above VPHONE_ON. The test pulse has a period of τTEST_PERIOD and pulse width
of τTEST_WIDTH. During test pulses the IC will fully turn on the M5 pass devices and attempts to draw ICHRG_MAX current from the
charging power supply. The charging power supply will respond by delivering the full-rate current up to ICHRG-MAX to the load (Q1
will be forced into saturation). During the test pulse, the IC constantly monitors the cell voltage with its internal voltage regulation
control circuit and the charge current with its current regulation control circuit. The power dissipation of Q1 is not controlled during
the test pulse. The IC determines which charge rate to apply at the end of each test pulse.
The interaction between the three control circuits is such that the voltage regulation is the most dominant so the cell voltage will
not exceed VTERMX. (VTERMX being either VTERMH or VTERML, depending on the logic level applied to the CHEMISTRY pin). When
the test pulse is high, one of the following can occur:
1. VPHONE_ON < VCELL < VTERMX and Charge Current < ICHRG_MAX:
The charging power supply will continue to deliver full-rate current during and after the test pulse. Q1 remains in saturation and
all M5 sense resistor switches remain on.
2. VPHONE_ON < VCELL < VTERMX and Charge Power Supply wants to deliver more than ICHRG_MAX (e.g. Failed Vehicular Power
Adaptor and phone is connected directly to car battery):
The internal current regulation control of the LM3655 IC will try to maintain the charge current at ICHRG_MAX by forcing the external
Q1 and Q2 transistors into linear operation. This may exceed Q1 power dissipation limit. After the test pulse, the IC internal power
regulation control senses the voltage across Q1 VCE above Q1UNSAT and determines the appropriate M5 sense resistor array
switches to turn on. The effective resistance will determine the amount of charge current allow such that Q1 power dissipation is
within limit of PPASS_MAX.
If Q1UNSAT is exceeded at the end of a test pulse, CHRG_STATE will not go high as the Top-off signal is only created when VCELL
reaches VTERMX. Unless a non-supported power supply is used, because of burp mode, it is expected that the system will mend
itself and go back into full-rate when the next test pulse comes along.
3. VCELL reaches VTERMX (desired maximum cell clamp level):
The IC internal voltage regulation control will dominate the charger control logic, and control the charge current to maintain VCELL
at VTERMX. To accomplish this, the voltage regulation control forces Q1 and Q2 from saturation back in linear mode to reduce the
charge current to a level that will maintain VCELL at VTERMX. After the test pulse, Q1 VCE above Q1UNSAT indicates the charge
current to be reduced to trickle current. Q1 may or may not be in power-limit regulation.
In order to prevent a transient situation when transitioning from trickle to full-rate between test pulses, the voltage regulation
control will reset to zero for τTEST_DELAY and the current regulation control will then be forced to turn off Q1 and Q2. This in effect
will set the charge current to zero. After τTEST_DELAY the voltage regulator will be allowed to ramp back up and the charge current
will also ramp from zero to full-rate current. Figure 3 illustrates the charge profile.

FIGURE 3. Li-ion Charge Profile
In region 1 the cell voltage is below VTERMX and the charge current is in full-rate, the charging will continue in full-rate after the
test pulse. At the end of region 1 when the cell voltage reaches VTERMX, the charge current now drops to trickle current and the
cell voltage drops slightly due to the IR drop of the cell internal impedance. The trickle current will continue in region 2 until the
next test pulse arrives in region 3, the internal circuit will delay the test pulse for τTEST_DELAY while resetting the charge current
to zero. After the delay the current will then ramp back to full-rate and the cell voltage will charge back to VTERMX. The test pulse
stays high for at least τTEST_WIDTH and then reset to off as seen in region 4. In this region the charge current drops to trickle
current as the cell voltage also drops slightly. In regions 5, 6, and 7, the circuit continues charging the cell while cell voltage
gradually tapers to VTERMX and the height of pulse current is gradually getting smaller. In regions 8 and 9 the cell voltage reaches
VTERMX before the next pulse arrives, the trickle charge current will begin to reduce to less than ITRICKLE-MAX. The current will
continue to reduce in region 10 and so on until the current goes to zero. The cell voltage will be at the maximum charge capacity
voltage of VTERMX. The charge profile will be different for different types of power supplies and discharge currents.

11.2.4 Low Cell Voltage Charging (Pre-Charging)
When the cell is very deeply discharged, the IC’s normal cell voltage rail may be too low for proper operation. When connected
to a power supply, if full-rate charge were immediately entered, the external supply voltage would collapse to the (very low) cell
voltage level once the power supply’s current limit has been reached.
To avoid this situation, and also to protect a deeply-discharged cell from potential damage by fast-charging too rapidly, a reduced
current charge is applied to the cell until it reaches a minimum “safe” operating level, VPHONE_ON.
The current the IC draws from the cell to operate its internal circuitry when the charge power supply is detected is IQ_CHRG.
When the cell voltage is less than the Phone On Voltage Threshold, 3.00V, and above the Secondary Under-voltage threshold,
1.98V, the cell will be charged at a low charge current. In this mode, the power dissipation management circuit is active thus Q1
will not be over-dissipated. Burp mode is not active in this voltage range.
A special charge circuit is provided that operates for cell voltages between 0V and 1.98V. This circuit is active only if a charger
is applied and the cell is in this voltage range. The charge current is limited to 70 mA maximum in this mode in order to limit the
power dissipation of Q1 and M5 to 800 mW for power supply voltages of 18V or less. Once the cell increases to 1.98V, the sub-2V
charging deactivates and the conventional charger takes over. A diode path from the VDETECT pin to the CELL + pin allows for a
trickle charge current (limited by R4A and R4B ) for deeply charged cells ( < 0.7V).

11.2.5 Full-Rate Charging
Once the cell voltage rises above VPHONE_ON, the cell will be charged at full-rate unless the cell voltage drops below
VCHARGE_LOW. The charge power supply will deliver all the charge current it can into the load while the IC is monitoring the power
dissipation of Q1 with the maximum of PPASS_MAX and the maximum charge current of ICHRG-MAX. Should the power dissipation
of Q1 or the charge current exceed these limits, the IC will revert to trickle charge mode to protect Q1 from over-dissipation.
Q1 is saturated when the charge current is in full-rate and Q1 is operated in linear mode when the charge current is in trickle
charging mode. Because transient loads on Radio B+ (such as when the phone is in its pulsed transmit mode) can cause voltage
transients on the cell pin, it is determined that Q1 is NOT saturated ONLY after the peak detected Q1 emitter voltage minus the
cell pin’s voltage exceeds Q1UNSAT for a debounce period of 8 ms. This debounce is applied to all uses of Q1UNSAT in the IC.
Q1UNSAT is the voltage between the cell pin and the emitter of Q1, which corresponds to the voltage drop across M5 and the
saturation drop across Q1.
The CHRG_STATE output pin of the IC will change its state when VCELL reaches VTERMX. It will not go high because Q1UNSAT
is exceeded.

11.2.6 Trickle/Top-Off Mode
After the full-rate charge is completed and the cell is charged to VTERMX, the current will be reduced to the trickle charge current.
The pass transistor Q1 will no longer be in saturation and will now operate in linear mode. The maximum trickle current is
ITRICKLE_MAX unless the power dissipation of Q1 exceeds PPASS_MAX. If the power dissipation of Q1 exceeds PPASS_MAX, the
trickle current will be further reduced until the power dissipation of Q1 is less than or equal to PPASS_MAX.
During the transition from full-rate to trickle charge, the voltage of the cell will relax (IR drop due to cell internal impedance), but
the cell will again eventually be charged up again to VTERMX. While the LM3655 allows the trickle current continue to flow to the
cell, it will constantly monitor the cell voltage not to exceed VTERMX. The IC will maintain the cell voltage at VTERMX by gradually
reducing the trickle current, and eventually no charge current will flow into the cell.
The charge rate between VSUV and VCHARGE_LOW is limited to the lowest setting of the Trickle charge range (ITRICKLEMIN). Once
VCHARGE_LOW is reached, the trickle charger will remain charging but can use the full range of trickle charge, from ITRICKLEMIN to
ITRICKLEMAX.
11.2.7 Peak Detector Function
The LM3655 device uses two independent peak detector circuits. One is used for filtering the ripple from the input power supply,
and the other for minimizing the IR drop of the cell voltage during transmit pulses (if the phone is operated while connected to a
charger). The peak detector circuits allow the device to be less sensitive to the ripple-induced noise that could unintentionally
trigger the internal circuit thresholds of the IC.
The peak detector circuit for smoothing the power supply ripple has its input connected across to the emitter of Q1 to CELL for
monitoring Q1 VCE voltage and voltage across M5. The filtered voltage from the peak detector is used by the circuit that regulates
the power of the external PNP pass transistor Q1. The power limiting circuit determines the maximum charge current such that
the maximum power dissipation of Q1 [(Q1 VCE +Ma5)* Ic] is lways at PPASS_MAX.
The peak detector for the cell voltage is used to smooth the sensed values for cell voltage drop during the transmit pulses. The
peak detector is in essence a digital filter with transient response characteristics as outlined below. Two parameters are
associated with the peak detector, decay rate and attack rate. Figure 4 a) and b) below show the decay and attack rates of the
power supply ripples and for the transmit pulses on the cell (output) voltage respectively. The typical input voltage filter decay and
attack rates are respectively 5.0 ms and 15.6 µs. The typical output voltage filter decay and attack rates are respectively 4 mV/ms
and 1.4V/ms.

12.0 Discharge Control Functions
12.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Depending on the state of charge of the cell (cell voltage), charging and discharging can occur simultaneously. There are two
scenarios: discharge while the charger power supply is connected and discharge while the charger power supply is disconnected.
This will impact the operations of the internal PMOS/NMOS devices and the pass transistor Q1. Figure 5 illustrates the relevant
components of the system.
20111508
FIGURE 5. Circuit Block Diagram
The charge current will flow through M5 and some current will flow into the cell and some current will flow through M4 and to the
phone. When the charge power supply is not connected the pass transistor Q1 will be turned off and M5 will be off. The current
will be discharged from the cell through M4.
12.2 RADIO+ GENERATION
All current for the phone is sourced through the RADIO_B+ pin. This allows M4 to regulate or disable the battery load current in
the event of an overload condition, internal phone short circuit, or extremely low cell voltage not detected by the phone’s power
management logic.

12.3 UNDER-VOLTAGE CUT-OFF
Two thresholds for cell under-voltage detection are used to prevent the cell from being discharged below levels that could cause
irreversible damage. The higher level, Primary Under-Voltage, is designated VPUV, and the secondary level is VSUV. Nominal
values are 2.350V and 1.98V respectively. When the VPUV threshold is crossed, a timer is initiated. If the cell voltage remains
below VPUV but above VSUV for the delay time τPUV (nominally 64 ms), the IC enters sleep mode. The IC will go into sleep mode
with no time delay if the cell voltage drops below VSUV.
In sleep mode, all of the sequential logic is reset to a standby state. The safety shunt circuits are still powered up in order to
protect the chip and cell from an accidental path for high energy to the VIN pin. M4 control circuits are powered down (M4 remains
off).

12.4 POWER CUT OPERATION
A power cut is defined as momentary loss of contact between the battery/cell and the phone circuitry, typically caused by contact
bounce. During a power cut, the connection between the cell’s positive terminal and the IC’s CELL pin may be lost as well as the
ground connection between the cell’s negative terminal and the IC’s ground pins. During Power Cut the IC will go into the sleep
mode. Once the connection is re-established and the cell voltage is greater than VCHRG_LOW (nominally 2.575V), the IC will power
up its internal circuitry and allow the operations (charging and discharging) to continue. A power cut is differentiated from an
under-voltage condition by monitoring the cell voltage level.
12.5 HIBERNATION MODE
When the cell is in its normal voltage range ( > 2.575V), M4 is closed. Thus any radio current consumption can discharge the
battery. This is generally desired except when the phone is stored for a long time without use and without being charged. When
hibernation mode is enabled, then M4 is opened so that the battery cell will discharge only due to the consumption of this IC and
not because of any Radio B+ current consumption. When Hibernation is enabled, the IC will be put into ‘sleep’ which allows the
IC to have a smaller quiescent current when compared to ‘normal’ mode.
Hibernation mode is entered when HIB_EN is held high for a debounce period of 32 ms.
Hibernation mode is exited and M4 subsequently closed when a charger is connected to LM3655 or when the HIB_DISB input
pin goes low.
13.0 Safety Functions
13.1 INPUT OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
13.1.1 Normal Operation (Q1 Control)
Under normal conditions, the Q1 pass device prevents excessively high voltages from reaching RADIO_B+. In the case of
full-rate charging, the external supply voltage will normally collapse to a level just above the cell voltage as the supply current limit
is reached. As charge current is reduced, the supply voltage may increase, but the voltage difference is dropped across Q1 as
13
www.national.com
LM3655
13.0 Safety Functions
(Continued)
it operates in linear mode. Q1 typically has an input voltage rating of 30V (see Section 14.1 CHARGE PASS TRANSISTOR (Q1)).
However, if Q1 fails as a short, the shunt control mechanism of the IC will still protect the phone and cell from high voltages. The
internal M3 shunt transistor is used to clamp the VIN, CELL and RADIO_B+ power pins to safe values.
13.1.2 Safety Shunt/Crowbar Operation
The LM3655 only activates the over-voltage protection if there is an internal failure of the LM3655 or a failure to the external
components, such as Q1 being shorted. Should one of these failures occur and the cell voltage exceeds a nominal level of 4.35V
(VSHUNT), M3 will operate as a shunt regulator limiting the voltage at the cell terminal to VSHUNT. A secondary shunt activation
mechanism occurs if VIN exceeds a nominal level of 5.2V (VSHUNT_INPUT).
When operating as a shunt regulator (in the linear mode of M3), excessive current may cause M3 power dissipation to exceed
safe limits if uncontrolled. If the M3 current limit of 4 Amps (typical IFAST_CB) is exceeded, the IC will protect itself by turning M3
fully on in order to shunt the current. When in the safety shunt crowbar mode, the IC will turn off Q1 to stop the charge current
assuming that the external components and the control circuit of the IC are still operational.
13.1.3 Standby Shunt Mode
Another protection feature of the IC is a Standby shunt mode. When there is no charger present M3 is turned on as it would be
in Crowbar mode. Q1 is already turned off because the charger isn’t present. M3 is turned off when there becomes a charger
present. In this condition, the other crowbar modes function as is. Standby shunt mode doesn’t interfere with the fast and thermal
(see Section 13.1.4 Thermal Crowbar Mode and Section 13.1.5 Fast Shunt Operation) crowbar modes.
13.1.4 Thermal Crowbar Mode
Another safety protection feature of the IC is the thermal crowbar protection. As the charge power supply’s current compliance
increases, significant power dissipation occurs and the junction temperature of the IC could approach TCB. This is the ‘Crowbar1’
initiation temperature and the power NMOS device M3 will be switched to full conduction mode in order to protect the IC. The
PMOS device M5 is switched off in Crowbar mode to prevent high cell discharge currents. The charge power supply’s current may
or may not open the external discrete fuse. If the fuse survives, the only recovery method from Crowbar1 mode is for the junction
temperature to reduce below TRESET while in this mode for at least τcrowbar1. When in the thermal crowbar mode, the IC will turn
off Q1 to stop the charge current assuming that the external components and the control circuit of the IC are still operational.
13.1.5 Fast Shunt Operation
The VIN pin voltage is also AC-coupled to the shunt control network to provide a “fast comparator” function that can activate the
shunt transistor quickly in response to a fast-rising transient on the input. This allows the shunt device to be activated prior to the
other means of activation such as exceeding IFAST_CB or thermal crowbar mode and bypasses the delays associated with the
DC-level sensitive comparator circuits.
In actual operation it will typically be very unlikely to activate the input shunt without activating the cell-initiated shunt mechanism
because the two voltages are related via M5 conduction.

13.2 SCHOTTKY ELIMINATION MODE (CHARGER INPUT SHORT CIRCUIT/REVERSE CURRENT PROTECTION)
In the case that the external input is shorted during charge, the initial state of M5 will be conducting, and reverse current will begin
to flow through M5 (draining the battery). To prevent the need for an additional external schottky blocking diode, the IC will sense
reverse current flow through M5 and turn the device off.
13.3 REVERSE CHARGER PROTECTION
The IC will protect against a reverse charger by sensing the charging power supply input voltage at VIN terminal below VREVERSE
for τREVERSE. Initially, Q1 is disabled to protect the phone and battery. Additional reverse charger protection exists in case the
Pass Transistor Q1 cannot be turned off. The IC will activate the M3 crowbar operation and turn off pass device M5. This clamps
the input from going negative without shunting the cell voltage.

Fault conditions at VIN could occur in either polarity. The reverse charger detection circuitry will sense the occurrence of VIN
< −0.5V and activate full conduction of M3 (called crowbar mode) after a time delay, τREVERSE. This clamping action prevents the
potential for damage to the IC. Continuous reverse energy will result in a pulsating activation of crowbar.
13.4 OUTPUT CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION (“PTC” MODE)
The power PMOS device M4 operates as a switch/pass element for controlling the discharge current of the cell while the PMOS
device M5 is off.
In “PTC Mode”, the LM3655 emulates a Positive Temperature Coefficient device such as a polymeric resetable fuse. During
discharge the current is flowing out from the cell through the PMOS M4 to the load. The circuit will regulate the current below IREG
while the junction temperature of the IC is monitored in discharge. As long as the current is less than IREG and the junction
temperature does not exceed TPTC, the circuit will deliver the current with no interruption. If the junction temperature exceeds
TPTC, the current regulation activate, causing the current to continuously decrease as the temperature continues to increase.
Once TPTC is exceeded, this circuit will effectively latch a thermostatic control system that reduces the discharge current to a level
that limits the power dissipation on the IC. During discharge mode, almost all of the heat generated in the IC will be due to the
PMOS M4. Once this mode is activated, the regulation current is reduced to several hundred mA and will only recover from this
mode of operation when the cell’s load current reduces to a level that allows the die temperature to decrease.
These specs apply to the entire Normal Temperature Range.

13.5 OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT PROTECTION
In an event that the RADIO B+ terminal becomes shorted to ground, the IC will interrupt the short circuit current exceeding
ISHUTOFF by turning off M4 PMOS immediately for a period of tSHUTOFF. After this period the regulation circuit will slew the M4
PMOS back to the regulation current. If the short circuit current still persists and the junction temperature exceeds TPTC, the IC
will initiate the PTC operation to reduce the current. Figure 6 shows an example of a short circuit protection waveform.

ISHUTOFF-THRESH refers to a voltage threshold between the Cell pins and the Radio B+ pins. When the voltage between these pins
exceeds this voltage threshold, M4 is to open. This circuit reacts very quickly as it is intended to be immediate. This voltage
threshold is then referred to current by dividing it by the resistance of M4 (the resistance between the Cell and Radio B+ pins).
For example the threshold current (ISHUTOFF) is 7 amps for a threshold voltage of 700 mV and a resistance of 100 mΩ. It is
specified in this manner to reflect the circuit implementation.
If the short circuit current is less than the lower limit, there will be no interruption of IRADIOB+ short-circuit current. IREG will reduce
IRADIOB+ to 4A in approximately 400 µs. If the current is greater than the upper limit, the short-circuit event will be guaranteed to
activate ISC. The sequence is: PMOS M4 is turned off for τSHUTOFF and allowed to turn on with the current regulating loop limiting
current to 4 Amps in 400 µs. Very large currents and associated energy are avoided for this 400 µs settling period.

15.0 Electrical Characteristics
(Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see electrical characteristics per each
section. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated
under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: With PCB copper enhancements. Board description: Substrate Material is FR-4. Overall Dimension (LxW) is 76.2 mm x 114.3 mm. Metalization Dimension
(LxW) is 60.7 mm x 60.6 mm. Thickness is 1.57 mm. 6 thermal vias of Pitch = 1.27 mm (via pitch)/0.5 mm pad pitch. Number of Cu layers = 4. Cu coverage (signal
layer-top/bottom) is 4%/40%. Cu thickness (signal layer-top/bottom) = 2 oz copper. Cu coverage (power/ground layer) = 100%. Cu thickness (power/ground layer)
= 1 oz.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 4: Maximum voltage on any pin with exception to VDETECT pin. VDETECT pin is protected by R4A and R4B resistors in series.
Note 5: NORMAL operating range. The part is expected to operate within its specified parametric limits in the normal range, and maintain all electrical specifications
and full functionality when operated within these limits. The normal operating range is intended to apply to battery packs used under average to severe use
conditions.
Note 6: The VIN pin is protected against very high transient fault currents by activation of a shunt regulator. The internal voltage of the chip at the cell pin is limited
to VSHUNT, however the external voltage of the VIN pin can increase beyond VSHUNT due to current in the lead resistance and M5.
Note 7: One side of the input comparator being driven by a buffered bandgap sets all digital input thresholds level of 1.2V. As a result any logic level that is greater
than approximately 1.3V will be logic high, and any logic level that is less than approximately 1.1V will be logic low.
Note 8: Extended junction temperature range applies to the maximum die temperature during a transient thermal protection event. Outside of these thermal
transients, the IC should not be operated where the die temperature goes outside of the Junction Temperature Range defined in table 7.1.
Note 9: The Absolute Maximum power dissipation depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using the formula:
P = (TJ – TA)/θJA.
where TJ is the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The 950 mW rating appearing under
Absolute Maximum Ratings results from substituting the Thermal Crowbar temperature, 100˚C, for TJ, 70˚C for TA, and 35˚C/W for θJA. More power can be
dissipated safely at ambient temperatures below 70˚C. Less power can be dissipated safely at ambient temperatures above 70˚C.
Note 10: Junction Temperature minimum is set equal to the Normal Operating Temperature Range, The IC can be stored down to −65˚C without damage to the IC.
