Following the preconditioning phase, the MCP73826
enters the controlled current phase. The MCP73826
allows for design flexibility with a programmable charge
current set by an external sense resistor. The charge
current is ramped up, based on the cell voltage, from
the foldback current to the peak charge current established by the sense resistor. This phase is maintained
until the battery reaches the charge-regulation voltage.
The MCP73826 operates with an input voltage range
from 4.5V to 5.5V. The MCP73826 is fully specified
over the ambient temperature range of -20°C to +85°C.

The MCP73826 charges the battery in three phases:
preconditioning, controlled current, and constant voltage. If the battery voltage is below the internal low-voltage threshold, the battery is preconditioned with a
foldback current. The preconditioning phase protects
the lithium-ion cell and minimizes heat dissipation.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP73826 is a linear charge management controller. Refer to the functional block diagram on page 2
and the typical application circuit, Figure 6-1.
4.1
Charge Qualification and
Preconditioning
Upon insertion of a battery or application of an external
supply, the MCP73826 verifies the state of the SHDN
pin. The SHDN pin must be above the logic high level.
If the SHDN pin is above the logic high level, the
MCP73826 initiates a charge cycle. If the cell is below
the preconditioning threshold, 2.4V typically, the
MCP73826 preconditions the cell with a scaled back
current. The preconditioning current is set to approximately 43% of the fast charge peak current. The preconditioning safely replenishes deeply depleted cells
and minimizes heat dissipation in the external pass
transistor during the initial charge cycle.
4.2
4.3
Constant Voltage Regulation
When the cell voltage reaches the regulation voltage,
VREG, constant voltage regulation begins. The
MCP73826 monitors the cell voltage at the VBAT pin.
This input is tied directly to the positive terminal of the
battery. The MCP73826 is offered in two fixed-voltage
versions for battery packs with either coke or graphite
anodes:
4.1V
(MCP73826-4.1) and 4.2V
(MCP73826-4.2).
4.4
Charge Cycle Completion
The charge cycle can be terminated by a host microcontroller after an elapsed time from the start of the
charge cycle. The charge is terminated by pulling the
shutdown pin, SHDN, to a logic Low level.
Controlled Current Regulation - Fast
Charge
Preconditioning ends and fast charging begins when
the cell voltage exceeds the preconditioning threshold.
Fast charge utilizes a foldback current scheme based
on the voltage at the VSNS input developed by the drop
across an external sense resistor, RSENSE, and the output voltage, VBAT. Fast charge continues until the cell
voltage reaches the regulation voltage, VREG.

Digital Circuitry
Refer to the typical application circuit, Figure 6-1.
5.2.1
SHUTDOWN INPUT (SHDN)
5.1
Analog Circuitry
5.1.1
OUTPUT VOLTAGE INPUT (VBAT)
The shutdown input pin, SHDN, can be used to terminate a charge anytime during the charge cycle, initiate
a charge cycle, or initiate a recharge cycle.
The MCP73826 monitors the cell voltage at the VBAT
pin. This input is tied directly to the positive terminal of
the battery. The MCP73826 is offered in two fixed-voltage versions for single cells with either coke or graphite
anodes:
4.1V
(MCP73826-4.1)
and
4.2V
(MCP73826-4.2).
5.1.2
Applying a logic High input signal to the SHDN pin, or
tying it to the input source, enables the device. Applying a logic Low input signal disables the device and terminates a charge cycle. In shutdown mode, the
device’s supply current is reduced to 0.5 µA, typically.
GATE DRIVE OUTPUT (VDRV)
The MCP73826 controls the gate drive to an external
P-channel MOSFET, Q1. The P-channel MOSFET is
controlled in the linear region, regulating current and
voltage supplied to the cell. The drive output is automatically turned off when the input supply falls below
the voltage sensed on the VBAT input.
5.1.3
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VIN)
The VIN input is the input supply to the MCP73826. The
MCP73826 automatically enters a power-down mode if
the voltage on the VIN input falls below the voltage on
the VBAT pin. This feature prevents draining the battery
pack when the VIN supply is not present.
5.1.4
CURRENT SENSE INPUT (VSNS)
Fast charge current regulation is maintained by the
voltage drop developed across an external sense resistor, RSENSE, applied to the VSNS input pin. The following formula calculates the value for RSENSE:
V CS
RSENSE = ----------I OUT
Where:
VCS is the current limit threshold
IOUT is the desired peak fast charge current in
amps. The preconditioning current is scaled to
approximately 43% of IOUT.

6.1
Application Circuit Design
Due to the low efficiency of linear charging, the most
important factors are thermal design and cost, which
are a direct function of the input voltage, output current
and thermal impedance between the external P-channel pass transistor, Q1, and the ambient cooling air.
The worst-case situation is when the output is shorted.
In this situation, the P-channel pass transistor has to
dissipate the maximum power. A trade-off must be
made between the charge current, cost and thermal
requirements of the charger.
6.1.1
EXTERNAL PASS TRANSISTOR
The external P-channel MOSFET is determined by the
gate to source threshold voltage, input voltage, output
voltage, and peak fast charge current. The selected Pchannel MOSFET must satisfy the thermal and electrical design requirements.
Thermal Considerations
The worst case power dissipation in the external pass
transistor occurs when the input voltage is at the maximum and the output is shorted. In this case, the power
dissipation is:
COMPONENT SELECTION
Selection of the external components in Figure 6-1 is
crucial to the integrity and reliability of the charging system. The following discussion is intended as a guide for
the component selection process.
6.1.1.1
6.1.1.2
PowerDissipation = V INMAX  I OUT  K
Where:
VINMAX is the maximum input voltage
SENSE RESISTOR
IOUT is the maximum peak fast charge current
The preferred fast charge current for Lithium-Ion cells
is at the 1C rate with an absolute maximum current at
the 2C rate. For example, a 500 mAH battery pack has
a preferred fast charge current of 500 mA. Charging at
this rate provides the shortest charge cycle times without degradation to the battery pack performance or life.
The current sense resistor, RSENSE, is calculated by:
V CS
RSENSE = ----------I OUT
Where:
VCS is the current limit threshold voltage
IOUT is the desired peak fast charge current
For the 500 mAH battery pack example, a standard
value 100 m, 1% resistor provides a typical peak fast
charge current of 530 mA and a maximum peak fast
charge current of 758 mA. Worst case power dissipation in the sense resistor is:
2
PowerDissipation = 100m  758mA = 57.5mW
A Panasonic ERJ-L1WKF100U 100 m, 1%, 1 W
resistor is more than sufficient for this application.
A larger value sense resistor will decrease the peak
fast charge current and power dissipation in both the
sense resistor and external pass transistor, but will
increase charge cycle times. Design trade-offs must be
considered to minimize space while maintaining the
desired performance.
K is the foldback current scale factor
Power dissipation with a 5V, +/-10% input voltage
source, 100 m, 1% sense resistor, and a scale factor
of 0.43 is:
PowerDissipation = 5.5V  758mA  0.43 = 1.8W
Utilizing a Fairchild NDS8434 or an International Rectifier IRF7404 mounted on a 1in2 pad of 2 oz. copper, the
junction temperature rise is 90°C, approximately. This
would allow for a maximum operating ambient temperature of 60°C.
By increasing the size of the copper pad, a higher ambient temperature can be realized or a lower value sense
resistor could be utilized.
Alternatively, different package options can be utilized
for more or less power dissipation. Again, design tradeoffs should be considered to minimize size while maintaining the desired performance.
Electrical Considerations
The gate to source threshold voltage and RDSON of the
external P-channel MOSFET must be considered in the
design phase.
The worst case, VGS provided by the controller occurs
when the input voltage is at the minimum and the
charge current is at the maximum. The worst case, VGS
is:
VGS = V DRVMAX –  V INMIN – IOUT  R SENSE 
Where:
VDRVMAX is the maximum sink voltage at the VDRV
output
DS21705B-page 12
 2002-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP73826
VINMIN is the minimum input voltage source
IOUT is the maximum peak fast charge current
RSENSE is the sense resistor
Worst case, VGS with a 5V, +/-10% input voltage
source, 100 m, 1% sense resistor, and a maximum
sink voltage of 1.6V is:
V GS = 1.6V –  4.5V – 758mA  99m  = – 2.8 V
At this worst case, VGS, the RDSON of the MOSFET
must be low enough as to not impede the performance
of the charging system. The maximum allowable
RDSON at the worst case VGS is:
V INMIN – I OUT  RSENSE – V BATMAX
RDSON = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I OUT
If a reverse protection diode is incorporated in the
design, it should be chosen to handle the peak fast
charge current continuously at the maximum ambient
temperature. In addition, the reverse leakage current of
the diode should be kept as small as possible.
6.1.1.5
In the stand-alone configuration, the shutdown pin is
generally tied to the input voltage. The MCP73826 will
automatically enter a low power mode when the input
voltage is less than the output voltage reducing the battery drain current to 8 µA, typically.
By connecting the shutdown pin as depicted in
Figure 6-1, the battery drain current may be further
reduced. In this application, the battery drain current
becomes a function of the reverse leakage current of
the reverse protection diode.
6.2
R DSON
4.5V – 758mA  99m – 4.242V
= -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = 242m
758mA
The Fairchild NDS8434 and International Rectifier
IRF7404 both satisfy these requirements.
6.1.1.3
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The MCP73826 is stable with or without a battery load.
In order to maintain good AC stability in the constant
voltage mode, a minimum capacitance of 10 µF is recommended to bypass the VBAT pin to GND. This capacitance provides compensation when there is no battery
load. In addition, the battery and interconnections
appear inductive at high frequencies. These elements
are in the control feedback loop during constant voltage
mode. Therefore, the bypass capacitance may be necessary to compensate for the inductive nature of the
battery pack.
SHUTDOWN INTERFACE
PCB Layout Issues
For optimum voltage regulation, place the battery pack
as close as possible to the device’s VBAT and GND pins.
It is recommended to minimize voltage drops along the
high current carrying PCB traces.
If the PCB layout is used as a heatsink, adding many
vias around the external pass transistor can help conduct more heat to the back-plane of the PCB, thus
reducing the maximum junction temperature.
Virtually any good quality output filter capacitor can be
used, independent of the capacitor’s minimum ESR
(Effective Series Resistance) value. The actual value of
the capacitor and its associated ESR depends on the
forward trans conductance, gm, and capacitance of the
external pass transistor. A 10 µF tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic capacitor at the output is usually sufficient
to ensure stability for up to a 1 A output current.
6.1.1.4
REVERSE BLOCKING PROTECTION
The optional reverse blocking protection diode
depicted in Figure 6-1 provides protection from a
faulted or shorted input or from a reversed polarity input
source. Without the protection diode, a faulted or
shorted input would discharge the battery pack through
the body diode of the external pass transistor.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
