RT9503A
Fully Integrated Linear Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger
with Power Path
General Description
Features
The RT9503A is a fully integrated low cost single-cell LiIon battery charger IC ideal for portable applications. The
RT9503A is capable of being powered up via the AC adapter
and USB (Universal Serial Bus) port inputs. The RT9503A
can automatically detect and select the AC adapter and
the USB port as the power source for the charger. The
RT9503A enters sleep mode when both supplies are
removed.
z
The RT9503A optimizes the charging task by using a
control algorithm including preconditioning mode, fast
charge mode, and constant voltage mode. The charging
task is terminated as the charge current drops below the
preset threshold. The USB charge current can be selected
from preset ratings of 100mA and 500mA, while the AC
adapter charge current can be programmed up to 1A with
an external resistor. The internal thermal feedback circuitry
regulates the die temperature to optimize the charge rate
for all ambient temperatures.
The RT9503A features 18V and 7V maximum rating
voltages for AC adapter and USB port inputs respectively.
Other features include external programmable safety timer,
under voltage protection, over voltage protection for AC
adapter supply, battery temperature monitoring, power
supply status indicators and charge status indicator.

RT9503A
Application Information
The RT9503A is a fully integrated low cost single-cell LiIon battery charger for portable applications. The RT9503A
can be adopted for two input power source including AC
and USB inputs. It will automatically select the input source
and operate in different mode as below.
AC Mode : When the AC input voltage (ACIN) is higher
than the UVP voltage level (3V), the RT9503A will enter
AC Mode. In the AC Mode, ACIN P-MOSFET is turned on
and USB P-MOSFET is turned off. When ACIN voltage is
below and OVP threshold levels, the switch Q1 will be
turned on and Q2 will be turned off. So, the system load
is powered directly from the adapter through the transistor
Q1, and the battery is charged by the RT9503A. Once
the ACIN voltage is higher than the OVP, the RT9503A
stops charging, and then Q1 will be turned off and Q2 will
be turned on to supply the system by battery.
USB Mode : When AC input voltage (ACIN) is removed
and USB input voltage is higher than UVP voltage level
(3V), the RT9503A will operate in the USB Mode. In the
USB Mode, ACIN P-MOSFET is turned off while USB
P-MOSFET and Q2 are turned on. The system load is
powered directly from the USB/Battery through the switch
Q2. Note that in this mode, the battery will be discharged
once the system current is higher than the battery charge
current.
Sleep Mode : The RT9503A will enter Sleep Mode when
both AC and USB input voltage are removed. This feature
provides low leakage current from the battery during the
absence of input supply.
VACIN > UVP ACIN Mode
USB Mode
VACIN removed
VUSB > UVP
Power-Path Management
The RT9503A powers the system and independently
charging the battery while the input source is AC. This
feature reduces the charge time, allows for proper charge
termination, and allows the system to run with an absent
or defective battery pack.
Case 1 : Input Source is AC
In this case, the system load is powered directly from the
AC adapter through the transistor Q1. For RT9503A, Q1
and Q2 act as a switch as long as the RT9503A is ready.
Once the AC voltage is ready (<OVP), the battery charge
by the RT9503A internal MOSFET and Q1 starts regulating
the output voltage supply system (Q2 is turn off). Once
the AC voltage is higher than the operation voltage (>OVP),
the RT9503A stop charging battery, Q1 turns off and Q2
starts to supply power for system.

The ACIN input voltage is monitored by an internal OVP
comparator. The comparator has an accurate reference of
2.5V from the band-gap reference. The OVP threshold is
set by the internal resistor. The protection threshold is
set to 6.5V, but ACIN input voltage over 18V still leads the
RT9503A to damage. When the input voltage exceeds
the threshold, the comparator outputs a logic signal to
turn off the power P-MOSFET to prevent the high input
voltage from damaging the electronics in the handheld
system. When the input over voltage condition is removed

Battery Temperature Monitoring
The RT9503A continuously monitors battery temperature
by measuring the voltage between the TS and GND pins.
The RT9503A has an internal current source to provide
the bias for the most common 10kΩ negative-temperature
coefficient thermal resistor (NTC) (see Figure 4). The
RT9503A compares the voltage on the TS pin against the
internal VTS_HIGH and VTS_LOW thresholds to determine if
charging is allowed. When the temperature outside the
VTS_HIGH and VTS_LOW thresholds is detected, the device
will immediately stop charging. The RT9503A stops
charging and keeps monitoring the battery temperature
when the temperature-sense voltage is back to the
threshold between VTS_HIGH and VTS_LOW, the charger will
be resumed. Charge is resumed when the temperature
returns to the normal range. However, the user may modify
thresholds via the negative-temperature coefficient
thermal resistor or by adding two external resistors. (see
Figure 5.)
The capacitor should be placed close to TS (Pin 11) and
connected to the ground plane. The capacitance value
(0.1μF to 10μF) should be selected according to the quality
of PCB layout. It is recommended to use 10μF if the layout
is poor for noise prevention.

Case 2 : USB Mode
When charging from a USB port, the ISETU pin can be
used to determine the charge current of 100mA or 500mA.
A low-level signal of ISETU pin sets the charge current at
100mA and a high level signal sets the charge current at
500mA.
Pre-Charge Current Setting
During a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below the
VPRECH threshold, the RT9503A applies a pre-charge mode
to the battery. This feature revives deeply discharged cells
and protects battery life. The RT9503A internally
determines the pre-charge rate as 10% of the fast-charge
current.
Battery Voltage Regulation
The RT9503A monitors the battery voltage through the
BATT pin. Once the battery voltage level closes in on the
VREG threshold, the RT9503A voltage enters constant
phase and the charging current begins to taper down.
When battery voltage is over the VREG threshold, the
RT9503A will stop charging but continue to monitor the
battery voltage. However, when the battery voltage
decreases 100mV below VREG, it will be recharged to
preserve the battery voltage.
Temperature Regulation and Thermal Protection
In order to maximize the charge rate, the RT9503A features
a junction temperature regulation loop. If the power
dissipation of the IC results in a junction temperature
greater than the thermal regulation threshold (125°C), the
RT9503A throttles back on the charge current in order to
maintain a junction temperature around the thermal
regulation threshold (125°C). The RT9503A monitors the
junction temperature, TJ, of the die and disconnects the
battery from the input if TJ exceeds 125°C. This operation
continues until junction temperature falls below thermal
regulation threshold (125°C) by the hysteresis level. This
feature prevents the maximum power dissipation from
exceeding typical design conditions.
External Timer
As a safety mechanism, the RT9503A provides a userprogrammable timer that monitors the pre-charge and fast
charge time. This timer (charge safety timer) is started at
the beginning of the pre-charge and fast charge period.
The safety charge timeout value is set by the value of an
external capacitor connected to the TIMER pin (CTMR), if
the TIMER pin is short to GND, the charge safety timer is
disabled.
As CTMR = 0.1μF, tPCHG_F is ~2460 secs and tFCHG_F is 8
x tPCHG_F. tPCHG_F = CTMR x 2460/0.1μ
When timer faults, re-plug-in power or pull high and then
pull low EN to release the fault condition.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA
is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to
ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications of
RT9503A, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C
and TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to ambient
thermal resistance, θ JA , is layout dependent. For
WQFN-16L 3x3 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
68°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can
be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (68°C/W) = 1.471W for
WQFN-16L 3x3 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. For RT9503A package, the derating curve
in Figure 7 allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
pin and GND pin is recommended. In some applications
depending on the power supply characteristics and cable
length, it may be necessary to add an additional 10μF
ceramic capacitor to the input. The RT9503A requires a
small output capacitor for loop stability. A 1μF ceramic
capacitor placed between the BATT pin and GND is typically
sufficient.

Layout Consideration
The RT9503A is a fully integrated low cost single-cell LiIon battery charger ideal for portable applications. Careful
PCB layout is necessary. The following guidelines should
be strictly followed to achieve best performance of the
RT9503A.
`
Input capacitor should be placed close to the IC and
connected to the ground plane. The trace of the input in
the PCB should be placed far away from the sensitive
devices or shielded by the ground.
`
The GND should be connected to a strong ground plane
for heat sinking and noise protection.
`
Connection of the RSETA should be isolated from other
noisy traces. A short wire is recommended to prevent
EMI and noise coupling.
`
Output capacitor should be placed close to the IC and
connected to ground plane to reduce noise coupling.
