Eight Channel ActivePathTM Power Management IC
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• ActivePathTM Li+ Charger with System Power
The patent-pending ACT8810 is a complete, cost
effective, highly-efficient ActivePMUTM power
management solution that is ideal for a wide range of
high performance portable handheld applications such
as personal navigation devices (PNDs). This device
integrates the ActivePathTM complete battery charging
and management system with six power supply
channels.
Selection
• Six Integrated Regulators
− 1.3A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC
− 1.0A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC
− 0.55A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC
− 2×360mA Low Noise, High PSRR LDOs
− 30mA RTC LDO / Backup Battery Charger
• I2CTM Serial Interface
• Minimal External Components
The ActivePath architecture automatically selects the
best available input supply for the system. If the
external input source is not present or the system load
current is more than the input source can provide, the
ActivePath supplies additional current from the battery
to the system. The charger is a complete, thermallyregulated, stand-alone single-cell linear Li+ charger
that incorporates an internal power MOSFET.
• Compatible with USB or AC-Adapter
Charging
• 5mm × 5mm, Thin-QFN (TQFN55-40) Package
− Only 0.75mm Height
− RoHS Compliant
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are three independent,
fixed-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC
converters that output 1.3A, 1.0A, and 0.55A,
respectively. REG4 and REG5 are high performance,
low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators that output
up to 360mA each. REG6 is a RTC LDO that
outputs up to 30mA for a real time clock. Finally, an
I2C serial interface provides programmability for the
DC/DC converters and LDOs.
APPLICATIONS
• Personal Navigation Devices
• Portable Media Players
• Smart Phones
The ACT8810 is available in a tiny 5mm x 5mm 40pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
The ACT8810 offers a wide array of system
management functions that allow it to be configured
for optimal performance in a wide range of
applications.
I2C Serial Interface
At the core of the ACT8810’s flexible architecture is
an I2C interface that permits optional programming
capability to enhance overall system performance.
To ensure compatibility with a wide range of system
processors, the ACT8810 uses standard I2C
commands; I2C write-byte commands are used to
program the ACT8810, and I2C read-byte
commands are used to read the ACT8810’s internal
registers. The ACT8810 always operates as a slave
device, and is addressed using a 7-bit slave
address followed by an eighth bit, which indicates
whether the transaction is a read-operation or a
write-operation, [1011010x].
SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock
input. The master initiates a transaction by issuing a
START condition, defined by SDA transitioning from
high to low while SCL is high. Data is transferred in
8-bit packets, beginning with the MSB, and is
clocked-in on the rising edge of SCL. Each packet
of data is followed by an “Acknowledge” (ACK) bit,
used to confirm that the data was transmitted
successfully.
For more information regarding the I2C 2-wire serial
interface, go to the NXP website: http://www.nxp.com
System Startup and Shutdown
Startup Sequence
The ACT8810 features a flexible enable
architecture that allows it to support a variety of
push-button enable/disable schemes. Although
other startup routines are possible, ACT8810
provides three typical startup and shutdown
processes proceed as shown in Control Sequence
section.
process is completely software-controlled, a typical
shutdown sequence proceeds as follows: The
second assertion of nPBIN asserts nPBIN and
interrupts the microprocessor, which then initiates
an interrupt service routine to reveal that nPBIN has
been asserted. If there is no input to the charger,
then the microprocessor disables each regulator
according to the sequencing requirements of the
system, then the system will finally be disabled
when each of ON1, ON2, and ON3 have been deasserted.
nPBIN Input
ACT8810's nPBIN pin is a dual-function pin,
combining system enable/disable control with a
hardware reset function. Refering to Figure 2, the
two pin functions are obtained by asserting this pin
low, either through a direct connection or through a
100kΩ resistor, as described below.
In most applications, nPBIN will be driven through a
100kΩ resistor. When driven in this way, nPBIN
initiates system startup or shutdown, as described
in the System Startup and Shutdown section.
When a hardware-reset function is desired, nPBIN
may also be driven directly to GA. In this case,
nRSTO is immediately asserted low and remains
low until nPBIN is de-asserted and the reset timeout
period expires. This provides a hardware-reset
function, allowing the system to be manually reset if
the system processor locks up.
Although a typical application will use momentary
switches to drive nPBIN, as shown in Figure 2,
nPBIN may also be driven by other sources, such
as a GPIO or other logic output.
Figure 2:
nPBIN Input
Shutdown Sequence
Once a successful power-up routine is completed, a
shutdown process may be initiated by asserting
nPBIN a second time, typically as the result of
pressing the push-button. Although the shutdown

enable and disable REG1, REG2, and REG3,
respectively. Once the system is enabled, the
system will remain enabled until all of ON1, ON2,
and ON3 have been de-asserted. See the Control
Sequence section for more information.
Power-On Reset Output
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
upon startup or when nPBIN is driven directly to
GA, and remains asserted low until the 260ms
(default) power-on reset timer has expired. Connect
a 10kΩ or greater pull-up resistor from nRSTO to an
appropriate voltage supply.
nIRQ Output
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time startup or an unmasked fault condition exists.
When asserted, nIRQ remains low until the
microprocessor polls the ACT8810's I2C interface.
The ACT8810 supports a variety of other fault
conditions, which may each be optionally unmasked
via the I2C interface. For more information about the
available fault conditions, refer to the appropriate
sections of this datasheet.
Connect a pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an
appropriate voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to
drive the interrupt input of the system processor,
and is useful in a variety of software-controlled
enable/disable control routines.
ACT8810QJ1## begins its system startup
procedure by enabling REG1. When REG1 reaches
94% of its final regulation voltage, ACT8810QJ1##
automatically turns on REG4 and REG5 and
nRSTO is asserted low, holding the microprocessor
in reset for a user-selectable reset period of 260ms.
If VOUT1 is within 6% of its regulation voltage when
the reset timer expires, the nRSTO is de-asserted,
and the microprocessor can begin its power-up
sequence. Once the power-up routine is
successfully completed, the system remains
enabled after the push-button is released as long as
the microprocessor asserts any one of ON1, ON2
or ON3, and REG4, REG5 may be enabled or
disabled via the I2C interface.
This start-up procedure requires that the
pushbutton be held until the microprocessor
assumes control (by asserting any one of ON1,
ON2, and ON3), providing protection against
inadvertent momentary assertions of the
pushbutton. If desired, longer “push-and-hold” times
can be easily implemented by simply adding an
additional time delay before asserting ON1, ON2, or
ON3. If the microprocessor is unable to complete its
power-up routine successfully before the user lets
go of the push-button, the ACT8810QJ1##
automatically shuts itself down.

from excessive thermal stress, as may be
encountered under fault conditions. This circuitry
disables all regulators if the ACT8810 die

regulators from being enabled until the IC

STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTERS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are fixed-frequency,
current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down
converters that are capable of supplying up to 1.3A,
1.0A, and 0.55A of output current, respectively.
These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of
1.6MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications
and allowing the use of small external components,
and achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%.
Each step-down DC/DC is available with a variety of
standard and custom output voltages, which may be
software-controlled by systems requiring advanced
power management functions, via the I2C interface.
Buck Regulator PFM/PWM Operating
Modes
The buck converters offer PFM/PWM operating
modes to maximize efficiency under both light and
full load conditions. The device will automatically
transition from fixed frequency PWM mode to PFM
mode when the output current is approximately
100mA. In PFM mode, the device maintains output
voltage regulation by adjusting the switching
frequency. The device transitions into fixed
frequency PWM mode when the output current
reaches approximately 100mA.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
REG1, REG2 and REG3 are each capable of
operating at up to 100% duty cycle. During 100%
duty-cycle operation, the high-side power MOSFET
is held on continuously, providing a direct
connection from the input to the output (through the
inductor), ensuring the lowest possible dropout
voltage in battery powered applications.
Synchronous Rectification
REG1, REG2 and REG3 each feature integrated
channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing
efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and
cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
Enabling and Disabling REG1, REG2
and REG3
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are typically enabled and
disabled using the ACT8810's closed-loop
enable/disable control scheme, including the nPBIN
input. Refer to the System Startup and Shutdown
section for more information about this function.
Each regulator is enabled when the following
conditions are met:
Innovative PowerTM
ActivePMUTM and ActivePathTM are trademarks of Active-Semi.
I2CTM is a trademark of NXP.
1) ONx is asserted high to enable REGx,
2) REGx/ONx[ ] is set to 1 when ONx is high
In addition REG1, REG2, or REG3 may be enabled
when nPBIN is pushed low via 100kΩ resistance. It
depends on sequence is set. See the Control
Sequence section for more information.
When none of these conditions are true, REG1,
REG2 and REG3 are disabled, and each regulator’s
quiescent supply current drops to less than 1μA.
Power-OK
REG1, REG2 and REG3 each feature a variety of
status bits that can be read by the system
microprocessor. If any output falls below its powerOK threshold, typically 6% below the programmed
regulation voltage, REGx/OK[ ] is cleared to 0.
Soft-Start
REG1, REG2 and REG3 each include matched
soft-start circuitry. When enabled, the output
voltages track the internal 80μs soft-start ramp and
both power up in a monotonic manner that is
independent of loading on either output. This
circuitry ensures that each output powers up in a
controlled manner, greatly simplifying power
sequencing design considerations.
Compensation
REG1, REG2 and REG3 utilize current-mode control
and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over their full
operating range. No compensation design is required;
simply follow a few simple guide lines described
below when choosing external components.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise induced upon the voltage source. A 4.7μF
ceramic capacitor for each of REG1, REG2 and
REG3 is recommended for most applications.
Output Capacitor Selection
For most applications, 22μF ceramic output
capacitors are recommended for REG1 and 10μF
ceramic output capacitors are recommended for
REG2, REG3. Although the these regulators were
designed to take advantage of the benefits of
ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low
ESR, low-ESR tantalum capacitors can provide
acceptable results as well.

and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component
selection and optimize transient performance over
their full operating range.
REG1, REG2 and REG3 of the device were optimized for
operation with and 3.3μH inductor, although inductors in
the 2.2μH to 4.7μH range can be used.
Choose an inductor with a low DC-resistance, and
avoid inductor saturation by choosing inductors with
DC ratings that exceed the maximum output current
of the application by at least 30%.

Finally choose CFF using the following equation:

Output Voltage Programming
Where RFB1 = 47kΩ, use 47pF.
By default, REG1, REG2 and REG3 each power up
and regulate to their default output voltage, as
defined in the Ordering Information section. Once
the system is enabled, each regulator’s output
voltage may be modified through either the I2C
interface or the Voltage Selection (VSEL) pin.
When using Adjustable Option, OUTx pins works as
FBx function.
Programming via the I2C Interface
Following startup, REG1, REG2, and REG3 may be
independently programmed to different values by
writing to the REGx/VSETx[_] and REGx/VRANGE[_]
registers via the I2C interface. To program each
regulator, first select the desired output voltage range
via the REGx/VRANGE[ ] bit. Each regulator
supports two overlapping ranges; set
REGx/VRANGE[_] to 0 for voltages below 2.245V,
set REGx/VRANGE[_] to 1 for voltages above 1.25V.
Once the desired range has been selected, program
the output to a voltage within that range by setting the
REGx/VSETx bits. For more information about the
output voltage setting options, refer to Tables 4, 7,
and 10, for REG1, REG2, and REG3, respectively.
Programming with Adjustable Option
Figure 8 shows the feedback network necessary to
set the output voltage when using the adjustable
output voltage option. Select components as
follows: Set RFB2 = 51kΩ, then calculate RFB1 using
the following equation:
⎛V
⎞
R FB 1 = R FB 2 ⎜⎜ OUTx − 1 ⎟⎟
⎝ V FBx
⎠
(1)
Where VFBx is 0.625V when REGx × VRANGE[ ] = 0
and 1.25V when REGx × VRANGE[ ] = 1

Output Voltage Selection Pin (VSEL)
ACT8810's VSEL pin provides a simple means of
alternating between two preset output voltage
settings, such as may be needed for dynamic
voltage selection (DVS). The operation of this pin is
as follows: when VSEL is driven to GA or a logic
low, the output voltages of REG1, REG2, and
REG3 are each defined by their VSET0[ ] register.
when VSEL is driven to VSYS or a logic high, the
output voltages of REG1, REG2, and REG3 are
each defined by their VSET1[ ] register.
By default, each regulator's VSET0[ ] and VSET1[ ]
registers are both programmed to the same voltage,
as defined in the Ordering Information section. As a
result, toggling VSET under default conditions has
no affect. However, by re-programming one or more
regulator's VSET0[ ] and/or VSET1[ ] registers, one
can easily toggle these regulators' output voltages
between two sets of voltages, such as to implement
'normal' and 'standby' modes in a system utilizing
the ACT8810 to implement an advanced power
management architecture.
PCB Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design. A good design
minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths
and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of
which can result in instability or regulation errors.
Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input
current, so the input capacitors should be placed as

close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of
vias if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor, and
output filter capacitor should be connected as close
together as possible, with short, direct, and wide
traces. The ground nodes for each regulator’s power
loop should be connected at a single point in a starground configuration, and this point should be
connected to the backside ground plane with multiple
vias. The output node for each regulator should be
connected to its corresponding OUTx pin through the
shortest possible route, while keeping sufficient
distance from switching nodes to prevent noise
injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly
connected to the backside ground plane using multiple
vias to achieve low electrical and thermal resistance.

LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
REG4 and REG5 are low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators (LDOs) that are optimized for low noise
and high-PSRR operation, achieving more than
60dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
LDO Output Voltage Programming
All LDOs feature independently-programmable
output voltages that are set via the I2C serial
interface, increasing the ACT8810’s flexibility while
reducing total solution size and cost. Set the output
voltage by writing to the REG45CFG/VSETx[ ]
registers.
Output Current Capability
REG4 and REG5 each supply an output current of
360mA. Excellent performance is achieved over this
load current range.
Output Current Limit
In order to ensure safe operation under over-load
conditions, each LDO features current-limit circuitry
with current fold-back. The current-limit circuitry
limits the current that can be drawn from the output,
providing protection in over-load conditions. For
additional protection under extreme over current
conditions, current-fold-back protection reduces the
current-limit by approximately 40% under extreme
overload conditions.
Enabling and Disabling the LDOs
All LDOs feature independent enable/disable
control via the I2C serial interface. Independently
enable or disable each output by writing to the
appropriate REG45CFG/ONx[ ] bit.
In addition REG4 or REG5 may be enable when
nPBIN is pushed low via 100kΩ resistance. It
depends on sequence is set. See the Control
Sequence section for more information.
Power-OK
REG4 features power-OK status bit that can be
read by the system microprocessor via the I2C
interface. If an output voltage is lower than the
power-OK threshold, typically 12% below the
programmed regulation voltage, the corresponding
REG45CFG/OK[ ] will clear to 0.
Reference Bypass Pin
The ACT8810 contains a reference bypass pin

which filters noise from the reference, providing a
low noise voltage reference to the LDOs. Bypass
REFBP to GA with a 0.01μF ceramic capacitor.
Optional LDO Output Discharge
Each of the ACT8810’s LDOs features an optional,
independent output voltage discharge feature.
When this feature is enabled, the LDO output is
discharged to ground through a 1kΩ resistance
when the LDO is shutdown. This feature may be
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing
to the REG45CFG/DISx[ ] bits.
Output Capacitor Selection
REG4 and REG5 each require only a small ceramic
capacitor for stability. For best performance, each
output capacitor should be connected directly
between the OUTx and GA pins as possible, with a
short and direct connection. To ensure best
performance for the device, the output capacitor
should have a minimum capacitance of 1μF, and
ESR value between 10mΩ and 200mΩ. High quality
ceramic capacitors such as X7R and X5R dielectric
types are strongly recommended.
PCB Layout Considerations
The ACT8810’s LDOs provide good DC, AC, and
noise performance over a wide range of operating
conditions, and are relatively insensitive to layout
considerations. When designing a PCB, however,
careful layout is necessary to prevent other circuitry
from degrading LDO performance. A good design
places input and output capacitors as close to the
LDO inputs and output as possible, and utilizes a
star-ground configuration for all regulators to
prevent noise-coupling through ground. Output
traces should be routed to avoid close proximity to
noisy nodes, particularly the SW nodes of the
DC/DCs. REFBP is a filtered reference noise, and
internally has a direct connection to the linear
regulator controller. Any noise injected onto REFBP
will directly affect the outputs of the linear
regulators, and therefore special care should be
taken to ensure that no noise is injected to the
outputs via REFBP. As with the LDO output
capacitors, the REFBP bypass capacitor should be
placed as close to the IC as possible, with short,
direct connections to the star-ground. Avoid the use
of vias whenever possible. Noisy nodes, such as
from the DC/DCs, should be routed as far away
from REFBP as possible.

RTC LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Backup Battery Charging
General Description
REG6 is an always-on, low-dropout linear regulator
(LDO) that is optimized for RTC and backup-battery
applications. REG6 features low-quiescent supply
current, current-limit protection, and reverse-current
protection, and is ideally suited for always-on power
supply applications, such as for a real-time clock, or
as a backup-battery or super-cap charger.
REG6 features a constant current-limit, which
protects the IC under output short-circuit conditions
as well as provides a constant charge current, when
operating as a backup battery charger.
As shown in Figure 10, REG6 features a CC/CV
output characteristic, regulating its output voltage
for load currents up to 30mA, and regulating output
current when the load exceeds (typically) 60mA.
Output Voltage
By default, REG6's output voltage is as defined in
the Ordering Information section. However, this
voltage may be programmed by writing to the
REG6CFG/VSETx[ ] register via the I2C interface.
Figure 10:
REG6 Output Voltage
REG6 Output Voltage vs. Load Current
Reverse-Current Protection
Output Voltage (V)
REG6 features internal circuitry that limits the
reverse supply current to less than 1µA when the
input voltage falls below the output voltage, as can
be encountered in backup-battery charging
applications. REG6's internal circuitry monitors the
input and the output, and disconnects internal
circuitry and parasitic diodes when the input voltage
falls below the output voltage, greatly minimizing
backup battery discharge.

Voltage Regulators
REG6 is ideally suited for always-on voltageregulation applications, such as for real-time clock
and memory keep-alive applications. This regulator
requires only a small ceramic capacitor with a
minimum capacitance of 1μF for stability. For best
performance, the output capacitor should be
connected directly between the output and GA, with
a short and direct connection.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
System Configuration Optimization
General Description
The ACT8810 incorporates Active-Semi's patentpending ActivePath architecture. ActivePath is a
complete battery-charging and system powermanagement solution for portable hand-held
equipment. This circuitry performs a variety of
advanced battery-management functions, including
automatic selection of the best available input
supply, current-management to ensure system
power availability, and a complete, high-accuracy
(±0.5%), thermally regulated, full-featured singlecell linear Li+ charger with an integrated 12V power
MOSFET.
ActivePath Architecture
Active-semi's patent-pending ActivePath
architecture performs three important functions:
1) Input Protection,
2) System Configuration Optimization, and
ActivePath circuitry automatically detects the state
of the input supply, the battery, and the system, and
automatically reconfigures itself to optimize the
power system. If the input supply is present,
ActivePath powers the system in parallel with
charging the battery, so that system power and
charge current can be independently managed to
satisfy all system power requirements. This allows
the battery to charge as quickly as possible, while
ensuring that the total system current does not
exceed the capability of the input supply. If the input
supply is not present, however, then ActivePath
automatically configures the system to draw power
from the battery. Finally, if the input is present and
the system current requirement exceeds the
capability of the input supply, such as under
momentary peak-power consumption conditions,
ActivePath automatically configures itself for
maximum power capability by drawing system
power from both the battery and the input supply.
3) Battery-Management
Battery Management
Input Protection
At the input of the ACT8810's ActivePath circuit is
an internal, low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) that
regulates the system voltage (VSYS). This LDO
features a 12V power MOSFET, allowing the
ActivePath system to withstand input voltages of up
to 12V, and additionally includes a variety of other
protection features, including current limit protection
and input over-voltage protection.
The ActivePath circuitry provides a very simple
means of implementing a solution that safely
operates within the current-capability limitations of a
USB port while taking advantage of the high outputcurrent capability of an AC adapter, when available.
ActivePath limits the total current drawn from the
input supply to a value set by the ACIN input; when
ACIN is driven to a logic-low ActivePath operates in
“USB Mode” and limits the current to either 500mA
(when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high) or to
100mA (when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low),
and when ACIN is driven to a logic-high ActivePath
operates in “AC-Mode” and limits the input current
to 2A. In either case, ActivePath's DCCC circuitry,
described below, allows the input overload
protection to be adjusted to accommodate a wide
range of input supplies.

ActivePath includes a full-featured battery charger
for single-cell Li-based batteries. This charger is a
full-featured, intelligent, linear-mode, single-cell
charger for Lithium-based cells, and was designed
specifically to provide a complete charging solution
with minimum system design effort.
The core of the ActivePath's charger is a CC/CV
(Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage), linear-mode
charge controller. This controller incorporates
current and voltage sense circuitry, an internal
80mΩ power MOSFET, a full-featured statemachine that implements charge control and safety
features, and circuitry that eliminates the reverseblocking diode required by conventional charger
designs.
This charger also features thermal-regulation
circuitry that protects it against excessive junction
temperature, allowing the fastest possible charging
times, as well as proprietary input protection
circuitry that makes the charger robust against input
voltage transients that can damage other chargers.
The charge termination voltage is highly accurate
(±0.5%), and features a selection of charge safety
timeout periods that protect the system from
operation with damaged cells. Other features
include pin-programmable fast-charge current and

that can directly drive LED indicators or provide a
logic-level status signal to the host microprocessor.
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC)
The ACT8810's ActivePath Charger features
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC) circuitry,
which continuously monitors the input supply to
prevent input overload conditions. DCCC reduces
the charge current when the VSYS voltage
decreases to VDCCC and stops charging when VSYS
drops below VDCCC by 1.5% (typical).
The DCCC voltage threshold is programmed by
connecting a resistor from DCCC to GA according
to the following equation:
VDCCC = 2 × (IDCCC × RDCCC)
(2)
Where RDCCC is the value of the external resistor,
and IDCCC (100µA typical) is the value of the current
sourced from DCCC.
the current programmed by RISET,
ISET (mA) = KISET × 1V/(RISET (kΩ) +0.031)
where KISET = 628 when CHGLEV is driven to a
logic high, and KISET = 314 when CHGLEV is driven
to a logic low.
When ACIN is driven to a logic-low, the
circuitry operates in “USB-Mode”, which
maximum charge current setting of
CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high, or
CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low.
The ACT8810's charge current
summarized in the table below:
The ACT8810's ActivePath charger features a
flexible charge current-programming scheme that
combines the convenience of internal charge
current programming with the flexibility of resistor
based charge current programming. Current limits
and charge current programming are managed as a
function of the ACIN and CHGLEV pins, in
combination with RISET, the resistance connected to
the ISET pin.
ACIN and CHGLEV Inputs
ACIN is a logic input that configures the current-limit
of ActivePath's linear regulator as well as that of the
battery charger. ACIN features a precise 1.25V
logic threshold, so that the input voltage detection
threshold may be adjusted with a simple resistive
voltage divider. This input also allows a simple, lowcost dual-input charger switch to be implemented
with just a few, low-cost components.
When ACIN is driven to a logic high, the ActivePath
operates in “AC-Mode” and the charger charges at

Battery Temperature Monitoring
The ACT8810 continuously monitors the
temperature of the battery pack by sensing the
resistance of its thermistor, and suspends charging
if the temperature of the battery pack exceeds the
safety limits.
In a typical application, shown in Figure 11, the TH
pin is connected to the battery pack's thermistor
input. The ACT8810 injects a 100µA current out of the
TH pin into the thermistor, so that the thermistor
resistance is monitored by comparing the voltage at
TH to the internal VTHH and VTHL thresholds of 0.5V
and 2.5V, respectively. When VTH > VTHL or VTH < VTHH

charge timers resume.
The net resistance from TH to GA required to cross
the threshold is given by:
100µA × RNOM × kHOT = 0.5V → RNOM × kHOT = 5kΩ
100µA × RNOM × kCOLD = 2.5V → RNOM × kCOLD = 25kΩ
where RNOM is the nominal thermistor resistance at
room temperature, and kHOT and kCOLD are the ratios
of the thermistor's resistance at the desired hot and
cold thresholds, respectively.
Figure 11:
Simple Configuration
In each design example, we refer to the Vishay
NTHS series of NTCs, and more specifically those
which follow a "curve 2" characteristic. For more
information on these NTCs, as well as access to the
resistance/temperature characteristic tables referred
to in the example, please refer to the Vishay
website at http://www.vishay.com/thermistors.
Simple Solution
The ACT8810 was designed to accommodate most
requirements with very little design effort, but also
provides flexibility when additional control over a
design is required. Initial thermistor selection is
accomplished by choosing one that best meets the
following requirements:
RNOM = 5kΩ/kHOT, and
RNOM = 25kΩ/kCOLD
where kHOT and kCOLD for a given thermistor can be
found on its characteristic tables.
Taking a 0°C to 40°C application using a "curve 2"
NTC for this example, from the characteristic tables
one finds that kHOT and kCOLD are 0.5758 and 2.816,
respectively, and the RNOM that most closely
satisfies these requirements is therefore around
8.8kΩ. Selecting 10kΩ as the nearest standard
value, calculate kCOLD and kHOT as:
Design Procedure
When designing with thermistors it is important to
keep in mind that their nonlinear behavior typically
allows one to directly control no more than one
threshold at a time. As a result, the design
procedure can change depending on which
threshold is most critical for a given application.
Most application requirements can be solved using
one of three cases,
kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 2.5
kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 0.5
Identifying these values on the curve 2
characteristic tables indicates that the resulting
operating temperature range is 2°C to 44°C, vs. the
design goal of 0°C to 40°C. This example
demonstrates that one can satisfy common
operating temperature ranges with very little design
effort.
1) Simple solution
2) Fix VTHH, accept the resulting VTHL
3) Fix VTHL, accept the resulting VTHH
The ACT8810 was designed to achieve an
operating temperature range that is suitable for
most applications with very little design effort. The
simple solution is often found to provide reasonable
results and should always be used first, then the
design procedure may proceed to one of the other
solutions if necessary.

Fix VTHH
For demonstration purposes, supposing that we
had selected the next closest standard thermistor
value of 6.8kΩ in the example above, we would
have obtained the following results:
kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 3.67
kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 0.74
which, according to the characteristic tables would
have resulted in an operating temperature range of
-6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to 40°C.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D
In this case, one can add resistance in series with
the thermistor to shift the range upwards, using the
following equation:
(VTHH/ITH) = kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM + R
R = (VTHH/ITH) - kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM
R = (2.5V/100µA) - 0.5758 × 6.8kΩ
Finally,
Fix VTHL
Following the same example as above, the
"unadjusted" results yield an operating temperature
range of -6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to
40°C. In applications that favor VTHL over VTHH,
however, one can control the voltage present at TH
at low temperatures by connecting a resistor in
parallel with ITH. The desired resistance can be
found using the following equation:
R = 5kΩ - 3.9kΩ = 1.1kΩ
(ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/R) × kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM = VTHL
This result shows that adding 1.1kΩ in series with
the thermistor sets the net resistance from TH to G
to be 0.5V at 40°C, satisfying VTHH at the correct
temperature. Adding this resistance, however, also
impacts the lower temperature limit as follows:
Rearranging yields
VTHL/ITH = kCOLD(@TC) × RNOM + R
kCOLD(@TC) = (VTHL/ITH) - R)/RNOM
Finally,
kCOLD(@TC) = (25kΩ - 1.1kΩ)/6.8kΩ = 3.51
Reviewing the characteristic curves, the lower
threshold is found to move to -5°C, a change of only
1°C. As a result, the system satisfies the upper
threshold of 40°C with an operating temperature
range of -5°C to 40°C, vs. our design target of 0°C
to 40°C. It is informative to highlight that due to the
NTC behavior of the thermistor, the relative impact
on the lower threshold is significantly smaller than
the impact on the upper threshold.
R = (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/(VTHL/(kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM) - ITH)
R = (5V - 2.5V)/(2.5V/(2.816 × 6.8kΩ) - 100µA)
R = 82kΩ
Adding 82kΩ in parallel with the current source
increases the net current flowing into the thermistor,
thus increasing the voltage at TH. Adding this
resistance, however, also impacts the upper
temperature limit:
VTHH = (ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHH)/R) × kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM
Rearranging yields,
kHOT(@TC) = VTHH/(RNOM × (ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHH)/R))
kHOT(@TC) = 0.5V/(6.8kΩ × (100µA + (5V - 0.5V)/82kΩ))
= 0.4748
Reviewing the characteristic curves, the upper
threshold is found to move to 45°C, a change of

about 14°C. Adding the parallel resistance has
allowed us to achieve our desired lower threshold of
0°C with an operating temperature range of 0°C to
45°C, vs. our design target of 0°C to 40°C.

Thermal Regulation
The ACT8810's ActivePath charger features an
internal thermal regulation loop that reduces the
charging current as necessary to ensure that the
die temperature does not rise beyond the thermal
regulation threshold of 110°C. This feature protects
the against excessive junction temperature and
makes the device more accommodating to
aggressive thermal designs. Note, however, that
attention to good thermal designs is required to
achieve the fastest possible charge time by
maximizing charge current.
In order to account for the reduced charge current
resulting from operation in thermal regulation mode,
the charge timeout periods are extended
proportionally to the reduction in charge current.
Charging Safety Timers
The ACT8810 features a safety timer that is
programmable via an external resistor (RBTR)
connected from BTR to GA. The timeout period is
calculated as show in Figure 14.
If the ACT8810 detects that the charger remains in
precondition for longer than the precondition time
out period (which determined as tCHG/3), the
ACT8810 turns off the charger and generate a
FAULT to ensure prevent charging a bad cell.
Charging Status Indication
The ACT8810 provides two charge-status outputs,
nSTAT0 and nSTAT1, which indicate charge status
as defined in Table 20. nSTAT0 and nSTAT1 are
open-drain outputs with internal 5mA current limits,
which sink current when asserted and are high-Z
otherwise, and are capable of directly driving LEDs
without the need of current-limiting resistors or
other external circuitry. To drive an LED, simply
connect the LED between each pin and an
appropriate supply (typically VSYS). For a logic
level indication, simply connect a resistor from each
output to a appropriate voltage supply.

Input Supply Detection
The ACT8810's ActivePath charger is capable of
withstanding voltages of up to 12V, protecting the
system from fault conditions such as input voltage
transients or application of an incorrect input
supply. Although the ACT8810 can withstand a
wide range of input voltages, valid input voltages for
charging must be greater than the under-voltage
lockout voltage (UVLO) and the over-voltage
protection (OVP) thresholds, as described below.
Under Voltage Lock Output (UVLO)
Whenever the input voltage applied to CHG_IN falls
below 3.0V (typ), an input under-voltage condition is
detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input
under-voltage condition is detected, the input must
exceed the under-voltage threshold by at least
800mV for charging to resume.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
If the charger detects that the voltage applied to
CHG_IN exceeds 6.5V (typ), an over-voltage
condition is detected and the charger is disabled.
Once an input over-voltage condition is detected,
the input must fall below the OVP threshold by at
least 350mV for charging to resume.
Reverse Leakage Current
The ACT8810's ActivePath charger includes
internal circuitry that eliminates the need for
blocking diodes, reducing solution size and cost as
well as dropout voltage relative to conventional
battery chargers. When the voltage at CHG_IN falls
below VBAT, the charger automatically reconfigures
its power switch to minimize current drain from the
battery.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D
END-OF-CHARGE State
Charger State-Machine
PRECONDITION State
A new charging cycle begins with the
PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in
this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition
Threshold Voltage of 2.85V (typ). When operating
in PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at a
reduced current, 12% of the programmed maximum
fast-charge constant current, ISET. Once VBAT
reaches the Precondition Threshold Voltage the
state machine jumps to the FAST-CHARGE state. If
VBAT does not reach the Precondition Threshold
Voltage before the Precondition Timeout period
tPRECONDITION expires, then a damaged cell is
detected and the state machine jumps to the
TIMEOUT-FAULT State. For the Precondition
Timeout period, see the Charging Safety Timers
section for more information.
FAST-CHARGE State
In FAST-CHARGE state, the ACT8810 charges at
the current programmed by RISET (see the Current
Limits and Charge Current Programming section for
more information). During a normal charge cycle
fast-charge continues in CC mode until VBAT
reaches the charge termination voltage (VTERM), at
which point the ACT8810 jumps to the TOP-OFF
state. If VBAT does not reach VTERM before the total
time out period expires then state-machine will jump
to the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state and will reinitiate a new charge cycle after 2-4ms “relax”.
TOP-OFF State
In the TOP-OFF state, the cell charges in constant
voltage (CV) mode. In CV mode operation, the
charger regulates its output voltage to the 4.20V
(typ) charge termination voltage, and the charge
current is naturally reduced as the cell approaches
full charge. Charging continues until the charge
current drops to END-OF-CHARGE current
threshold, at which point the state machine jumps to
the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state. If the statemachine does not jump out of the TOP-OFF state
before the Total-Charge Timeout period expires, the
state machine jumps to the EOC state and will reinitiate a new charge cycle if VBAT falls below
termination voltage 170mv (typ). For more
information about the charge safety timers, see the
Charging Safety Times section.

In the End-of-Charge (EOC) state, the ACT8810
presents a high-impedance to the battery, allowing
the cell to “relax” and minimizes battery leakage
current. The ACT8810 continues to monitor the cell
voltage, so that it can re-initiate charging cycles
when VBAT drops to 170mV (typ) below the Charge
Termination Voltage.
SUSPEND State
In the SUSPEND state, ACT8810 disables the
charger but keeps other circuiting functional. Upon
exiting the SUSPEND State, the charge timer is
reset and the state machine jumps to
PRECONDITION state.
CHG_IN Bypass Capacitor Selection
CHG_IN is the power input for the ACT8810 battery
charger. The battery charger is automatically
enabled whenever a valid voltage is present on
CHG_IN. In most applications, CHG_IN is
connected to either a wall adapter or USB port.
Under normal operation, the input of the charger will
often be “hot-plugged” directly to a powered USB or
wall adapter cable, and supply voltage ringing and
overshoot may appear at the CHG_IN pin.
In most applications a high quality capacitor
connected from CHG_IN to GA, placed as close as
possible to the IC, is sufficient to absorb the energy.
Wall-adapter powered applications provide flexibility
in input capacitor selection, but the USB
specification presents limitations to input
capacitance selection. In order to meet both the
USB 2.0 and USB OTG (On The Go) specifications
while avoiding USB supply under-voltage conditions
resulting from the current limit slew rate
(100mA/µS) limitations of the USB bus, the
CHG_IN bypass capacitance value must to be
between 4.7µF and 10µF for the ACT8810.
Ceramic capacitors are often preferred for
bypassing applications due to their small size and
good surge current ratings, but care must be taken
in applications that can encounter hot plug
conditions as their very low ESR, in combination
with the inductance of the cable, can create a highQ filter that induces excessive ringing at the
CHG_IN pin. This ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability, or the ringing
may be large enough to damage the input itself.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D
Although the CHG_IN pin is designed for maximum
robustness and an absolute maximum voltage
rating of 14V for transients, attention must be given
to bypass techniques to ensure safe operation.
As a result, design of the CHG_IN bypass must
take care to “de-Q” the filter. This can be
accomplished by connecting a 1Ω resistor in series
with a ceramic capacitor (as shown in Figure 17), or
by using a tantalum or electrolytic capacitor to
utilize it’s higher ESR to dampen the ringing. For
additional protection in extreme situations, Zener
diodes with 12V clamp voltages may also be used.
In any case, it is always critical to evaluate voltage
transients at the ACT8810 CHG_IN pin with an
oscilloscope to ensure safe operation.
