DESCRIPTION
Si9731 is a chemistry independent battery charger designed
to pulse charge 1-cell to 3-cell NiCd/NiMH or 1-cell Li-ion
batteries. Battery charging is accomplished under direct
control from the system processor. An internal low rDS(on)
MOSFET can be pulsed on and off at varying duty cycle by the
system processor to pulse charge the battery at high charge
current while minimizing heat dissipation. Provision is also
made to trickle charge a discharged battery until the battery is
charged to a high enough voltage to wake up the processor so
that the processor can take control of the charging process.
For charging Li-ion batteries, Si9731 includes a precision
voltage reference and an error amplifier for constant voltage
(CV) charge mode.

Si9731
Vishay Siliconix
DETAIL OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
Si9731 is a chemistry independent battery charger designed
for use with a system processor. For example, Si9731 can be
integrated within a cellular phone whereby the fast charge and
trickle (slow) charge modes can be software controlled by the
DSP. The device is designed to charge 1-cell Li-ion or 1-cell to
3-cell NiCd/NiMH batteries. A regulated or unregulated
external dc power source such as a wall adapter rated at
typically 4.5 V to 12 V is connected to Si9731’s VCHARGER
input pin. Note that a typical low cost wall adaptor is comprised
of a transformer, bridge rectifier and a reservoir capacitor. The
wall adaptor’s output voltage decreases linearly with increase
in output current. When Si9731 is fast charging the battery, the
wall adaptor’s output voltage tracks the battery voltage plus
the voltage drop across Q1 (charging current times MOSFET
Q1’s rDS(on), see Figure 1). The key features of Si9731 are
described below.
Since the under voltage lock out (UVLO) point of Si9731 is
2.6 V (typical) , it is essential to keep the charger voltage above
this level under all conditions, especially for fast charging of
single cell NiCd/NiMH. One simple solution is adding a
external resistor between VBAT+ pin and the battery, which
creates extra voltage drop to elevate the charger voltage. The
value of the resistor is affected by the output V-I characteristic
of the ac charger.
Trickle Charge
The charge path is via n-channel MOSFETs Q1 or Q2 (see
applications circuit of Figure 1). Si9731 defaults to trickle (slow)
charge mode if the battery voltage is too low to power the main
processor. With the main processor unable to drive the
MAINCHARGEEN pin as well as the TRICKLECHARGEEN
pins, Q1 is turned “OFF” preventing fast charging. Meanwhile
n-channel MOSFET Q2 turns “ON” and establishes a trickle
charge path from the external power source VCHARGER to the
battery. The trickle charge current is set by an external current
limiting resistor, Rext, and is approximately ITRICKLE =
(VCHARGER - VBAT+)/Rext. Once the battery voltage charges
up to minimum battery operating voltage 3.4 V, the internal
latch is triggered and the CHARGERPOWER_ON output
changes state to wake up the processor. The processor is now
able to disable trickle charge mode by taking the
TRICKLECHARGEEN pin high while taking control of fast
charging via the MAINCHARGEEN pin.
www.vishay.com
8
Fast Charge
Fast charging is accomplished by the low “ON” resistance
MOSFET, Q1. The application microprocessor is able to
“Pulse Charge” the battery via the MAINCHARGEREN control
input of Si9731. The processor monitors the battery voltage
via the system A/D converter and varies the pulse charging
duty cycle accordingly to maintain fast charging. Note that
even though charging current may be sufficiently high, pulse
charging with short “ON” time and long “OFF” time ensures that
heat generation due to thermal heating is reduced.
In the case of NiCd or NiMH batteries, one of several charge
termination schemes may be used to terminate charge. For
example, the processor may disable fast charging by sensing
DV or dV/dt at the VBAT+ output or by monitoring the
temperature differential DT of the battery. Following fast
charge, trickle charge may be enabled to “top off” the battery.
When charging a 1-cell Li-ion battery, fast charging will operate
in two modes, constant current mode followed by constant
voltage mode. In the constant current mode, a discharged
Li-ion battery is charged with constant current available from
the external dc source. The MOSFET pass transistor (Q1) may
be pulsed “ON” and “OFF” at varying duty cycle by the control
signal present at the MAINCHARGEEN input pin. Once the
battery voltage reaches it’s termination voltage of 4.1 V or
4.2 V (depending on the connection of the 4.1-VTAP), Si9731
may be placed in the “Constant Voltage” charging mode by
taking the CVMODE pin high . Taking CVMODE pin high
disables trickle charging and enables the internal battery
voltage divider by turning ON Q5. Then the error amplifier will
compare divided VBAT+ voltage against an internal precision
1.3-V bandgap reference voltage (see Figure 1). The output of
the error amplifier drives the pass transistor Q1 to maintain
VBAT+ at the regulated termination voltage. This operation is
same as a linear regulator.
True Load Disconnect
Both the fast charge FET (Q1 in Figure 1) and trickle charge
FET (Q2 in Figure 1) incorporate a floating body diode. In their
“OFF” state both FETs block current bidirectionally. Note that
because of the reverse blocking switches, a Schottky diode in
series with the external VCHARGER power supply is not
required.

DETAIL OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 VTAP
The Si9731’s internal feedback resistors are set to provide
4.2-V charge termination at VBAT+ output if the 4.1 VTAP is left
open circuit. Connecting the 4.1 VTAP to VBAT+ configures
Si9731 for 4.1-V charge termination at VBAT+. This feature
allows Si9731 to accommodate Li-ion batteries requiring 4.1-V
or 4.2-V charge termination. Caution : the 4.1 VTAP should not
be connected to ground or any other voltage source as this will
cause the Si9731 to operate open loop and can result in over
charging the battery!
Feedback Disconnect Switch
The Si9731 includes a feedback disconnect switch (Q5 in
Figure 1) connected in series with the device’s internal
feedback resistor string. The 42-kW feedback resistor string is
connected to ground when both the internal “OK to Charge”
signal and the CVMODE pin are at logic high, providing
feedback voltage to Si9731’s error amplifier. This action helps
prevent the Si9731 from discharging the battery.
CHARGERPRESENT and CHARGERPOWERON
CHARGERPRESENT and CHARGERPOWERON are open
drain outputs, each requiring an external pull-up resistor.
pin
goes
low
with
CHARGERPRESENT
CHARGERPRESENTIN pin goes high, signaling the processor
that a charger has been inserted. CHARGERPOWERON Pin
goes low when CHARGERPOWERONIN Pin is high, charger
voltage is not in UVLO and the battery voltage has increased to
above 3.4 V, turning on the system power supply since the battery
has been charged up to minimum operating voltage.
Input Over-Voltage Detector
The external dc source connected to the VCHARGER pin should
be at 12 V or less. In the unlikely event that the voltage at
VCHARGER pin is at or above 12.8 V (typical), Si9731’s internal
Document Number: 71321
S-02258—Rev. A, 28-Sep-00
over voltage detector will turn off MOSFETs Q1, Q2,and Q5
and disable charging.
Thermal Shutdown
Si9731 also includes a thermal protection circuit that suspends
charging through Q1 and Q2 when die temperature exceeds
130_C due to overheating. Once the die temperature cools to
below 120_C, the charging will resume.
Shutdown
Si9731 can be completely turned off by applying 0.4 V or less
to the device’s ON/OFF pin. In shutdown mode, Si9731 draws
less than 1-mA quiescent current with charger voltage below
UVLO, and draws 500 mA when charger voltage is above
UVLO. The device is enabled by applying 1.5 V to 12 V at the
ON/OFF pin. In applications where the device will always
remain enabled, the ON/OFF pin may be connected to the
VCHARGER pin. Si9731’s shutdown circuitry includes
hysteresis, as such the device will operate properly even if a
slow moving signal is applied to the ON/OFF pin. When the
device is enabled, the battery voltage sense circuitry draws
approximately 25 mA from VBAT.
OK to Charge (OTC)
Si9731 also includes an internal signal that enables both trickle
charge mode and fast charge mode operations, the “OK to
Charge” (or OTC) signal. The OTC signal is at logic high if all of
the following are satisfied:
1. Battery voltage is below 5 V
2. Charger voltage is greater than 2.6 V but below 12.8 V
3. VCHARGER u VBAT + 40 mV when MAINCHARGEEN =
Low
VCHARGER u VBAT – 40 mV when MAINCHARGEEN =
High
4. ON/OFF pin is at logic high.
In order to charge the battery in any manner, the OTC signal
has to be high.
