GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT8946A is a complete, cost effective, highlyefficient power management solution, optimized for
the unique power, voltage-sequencing, and control
requirements. It is ideal for a wide range of high
performance portable handheld applications such as
human-machine interfaces, control panels, smart grid
infrastructures, network gateways, M2M systems, 2D
barcode scanners, barcode printers, machine vision
equipment, as well as home and commercial building
This device features three step-down DC/DC
converters and four low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators, along with a complete battery charging
solution featuring the advanced ActivePath systempower selection function.
The three DC/DC converters utilize a highefficiency, fixed-frequency (2MHz), current-mode
PWM control architecture that requires a minimum
number of external components. Two DC/DCs are
capable of supplying up to 1100mA of output
current, while the third supports up to 1200mA. All
four low-dropout linear regulators are highperformance, low-noise regulators that supply up to
320mA of output current.
The ACT8946A is available in a compact, Pb-Free
and RoHS-compliant TQFN55-40 package.

Control Signals
Enable Inputs
The ACT8946A features a variety of control inputs,
which are used to enable and disable outputs
depending upon the desired mode of operation.
PWRHLD is a logic input,
nIRQ Output
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kΩ or
greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate
voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the
interrupt input of the system processor.
Many of the ACT8946A's functions support
interrupt-generation as a result of various
conditions. These are typically masked by default,
but may be unmasked via the I2C interface. For
more information about the available fault
conditions, refer to the appropriate sections of this
datasheet.
Note that under some conditions a false interrupt
may be generated upon initial startup. For this
reason, it is recommended that the interrupt service
routine check and validate nSYSLEVMSK[-] and
nFLTMSK[-] bits before processing an interrupt
generated by these bits. These interrupts may be
validated by nSYSSTAT[-], OK[-] bits.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
I2C Interface
The ACT8946A features an I2C interface that allows
advanced programming capability to enhance
overall system performance. To ensure compatibility
with a wide range of system processors, the I2C
interface supports clock speeds of up to 400kHz
(“Fast-Mode” operation) and uses standard I2C
commands. I2C write-byte commands are used to
program the ACT8946A, and I2C read-byte
commands are used to read the ACT8946A’s
internal registers. The ACT8946A 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, [1011011x].
SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock
input. The master device 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.
Voltage Monitor and Interrupt
Programmable System Voltage Monitor
The ACT8946A features a programmable systemvoltage monitor, which monitors the voltage at VSYS
and compares it to a programmable threshold
voltage. The programmable voltage threshold is
programmed by SYSLEV[3:0], as shown in Table 3.
SYSLEV[ ] is set to 3.0V by default. There is a
200mV rising hysteresis on SYSLEV[ ] threshold
such that VVSYS needs to be 3.2V(typ) or higher in
order to power up the IC.
The nSYSSTAT[-] bit reflects the output of an
internal voltage comparator that monitors VVSYS
relative to the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, the
value of nSYSTAT[-] = 1 when VVSYS is lower than
the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, and nSYSTAT[-] =
0 when VVSYS is higher than the SYSLEV[-] voltage
threshold. Note that the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold
is defined for falling voltages, and that the
comparator produces about 200mV of hysteresis at
VSYS. As a result, once VVSYS falls below the
SYSLEV threshold, its voltage must increase by
more than about 200mV to clear that condition.
After the IC is powered up, the ACT8946A responds
in one of two ways when the voltage at VSYS falls
below the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold:
1) If nSYSMODE[-] = 1 (default case), when system
voltage

is

(nSYSLEVMSK[ ]=1) and VVSYS falls below the

programmable threshold, the ACT8946A asserts
nIRQ, providing a software “under-voltage alarm”.
The response to this interrupt is controlled by the
CPU, but will typically initiate a controlled shutdown
sequence either or alert the user that the battery is
low. In this case the interrupt is cleared when VVSYS
rises up again above the SYSLEV rising threshold
and nSYSSTAT[-] is read via I2C.
2) If nSYSMODE[-] = 0, when VVSYS falls below the
programmable threshold the ACT8946A shuts down,
immediately disabling all regulators. This option is
useful for implementing a programmable “undervoltage lockout” function that forces the system off
when the battery voltage falls below the SYSLEV
threshold voltage. Since this option does not support
a controlled shutdown sequence, it is generally used
as a "fail-safe" to shut the system down when the
battery voltage is too low.

Precision Voltage Detector
The LBI input connects to one input of a precision
voltage comparator, which can be used to monitor a
system voltage such as the battery voltage. An
external resistive-divider network can be used to set
voltage monitoring thresholds, as shown in
Functional Block Diagram. The output of the
comparator is present at the nLBO open-drain
output.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8946A integrates thermal shutdown
protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting from
excessive thermal stress, as may be encountered
under fault conditions. This circuitry disables all
regulators if the ACT8946A die temperature exceeds
160°C, and prevents the regulators from being
enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C

STEP-DOWN DC/DC REGULATORS
General Description
The ACT8946A features three synchronous, fixedfrequency, current-mode PWM step down
converters that achieve peak efficiencies of up to
97%. REG1 and REG2 are capable of supplying up
to 1100mA of output current, while REG3 supports
up to 1200mA. These regulators operate with a
fixed frequency of 2MHz, minimizing noise in
sensitive applications and allowing the use of small
external components.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
Each regulator is 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.
exhibits different characteristics that can greatly
affect performance over their temperature and
voltage ranges.
Two of the most common dielectrics are Y5V and
X5R. Whereas Y5V dielectrics are inexpensive and
can provide high capacitance in small packages,
their capacitance varies greatly over their voltage
and temperature ranges and are not recommended
for DC/DC applications. X5R and X7R dielectrics
are more suitable for output capacitor applications,
as their characteristics are more stable over their
operating ranges, and are highly recommended.
Inductor Selection
REG1, REG2, and REG3 each feature integrated
n-channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing
efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and
cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
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. These
devices were optimized for operation with 2.2μH
inductors, although inductors in the 1.5μH to 3.3μH
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 by at least 30%.
Soft-Start
Configuration Options
When enabled, each output voltages tracks an
internal 400μs soft-start ramp, minimizing input
current during startup and allowing each regulator
to power up in a smooth, monotonic manner that is
independent of output load conditions.
Output Voltage Programming
Synchronous Rectification
Each buck regulator utilizes current-mode control
and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component
selection and optimize transient performance over
its full operating range. No compensation design is
required; simply follow a few simple guidelines
described below when choosing external
components.
By default, each regulator powers up and regulates
to its default output voltage. Output voltage is
selectable by setting VSEL pin that when VSEL is
low, output voltage is programmed by VSET1[-]
bits, and when VSEL is high, output voltage is
programmed by VSET2[-] bits. However, once the
system is enabled, each regulator's output voltage
may be independently programmed to a different
value, typically in order to minimize the power
consumption of the microprocessor during some
operating modes. Program the output voltages via
the I2C serial interface by writing to the regulator's
VSET1[-] register if VSEL is low or VSET2[-]
register if VSEL is high as shown in Table 4.
Input Capacitor Selection
Enable / Disable Control
Compensation
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise induced upon the voltage source. A 4.7μF
ceramic capacitor is recommended for each
regulator in most applications.
Output Capacitor Selection
For most applications, 22μF ceramic output
capacitors are recommended for REG1, REG2 and
REG3.
Despite the advantages of ceramic capacitors, care
must be taken during the design process to ensure
stable operation over the full operating voltage and
temperature range. Ceramic capacitors are
available in a variety of dielectrics, each of which
ActivePMU and ActivePath are trademarks of Active-Semi.
During normal operation, each buck may be
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing
to that regulator's ON[ ] bit. The regulator accept
rising or falling edge of ON[ ] bit as on/off signal. To
enable the regulator, clear ON[ ] to 0 first then set
to 1. To disable the regulator, set ON[ ] to 1 first
then clear it to 0.
REG1, REG2, REG3 Turn-on Delay
Each of REG1, REG2 and REG3 features a
programmable Turn-on Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 5.

Operating Mode
REG1, REG2, and REG3 each operate in fixedfrequency PWM mode at medium to heavy loads
when MODE[ ] bit is set to 0, and transition to a
proprietary power-saving mode at light loads in
order to maximize standby battery life. In
applications where low noise is critical, force fixedfrequency PWM operation across the entire load
current range, at the expense of light-load
efficiency, by setting the MODE[ ] bit to 1.
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
via 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 star-ground configuration, and this point should
be connected to the backside ground plane with
multiple via. 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 via to achieve low electrical and
thermal resistance.
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each DC/DC features a 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 7% below the
programmed regulation voltage, that regulator's
OK[ ] bit will be 0.
If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the
ACT8946A will interrupt the processor if that
DC/DC's output voltage falls below the power-OK
threshold. In this case, nIRQ will assert low and
remain asserted until either the regulator is turned
off or back in regulation, and the OK[ ] bit has been
read via I2C.

LOW-NOISE, LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
General Description
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 5.
REG4, REG5, REG6, and REG7 are low-noise,
low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) that supply up
to 320mA. Each LDO has been optimized to
achieve low noise and high-PSRR, achieving more
than 65dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
Output Discharge
Output Current Limit
Each LDO contains current-limit circuitry featuring a
current-limit fold-back function. During normal and
moderate overload conditions, the regulators can
support more than their rated output currents.
During extreme overload conditions, however, the
current limit is reduced by approximately 30%,
reducing power dissipation within the IC.
Compensation
The LDOs are internally compensated and require
very little design effort, simply select input and
output capacitors according to the guidelines below.
Input Capacitor Selection
Each LDO requires a small ceramic input capacitor
to supply current to support fast transients at the
input of the LDO. Bypassing each INL pin to GA
with 1μF. High quality ceramic capacitors such as
X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.
Output Capacitor Selection
Each LDO requires a 3.3μF ceramic output
capacitor for stability. For best performance, each
output capacitor should be connected directly
between the output and GA pins, as close to the
output as possible, and with a short, direct
connection. High quality ceramic capacitors such as
X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.
Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each LDO powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. Once the system is
enabled, each output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value by writing to the
regulator's VSET[-] register via the I2C serial
interface as shown in Table 4.
Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each LDO may be
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing
to that LDO's ON[ ] bit. The regulator accept rising
or falling edge of ON[ ] bit as on/off signal. To
enable the regulator, clear ON[ ] to 0 first then set to
1. To disable the regulator, set ON[ ] to 1 first then
clear it to 0.
REG4, REG5, REG6, REG7 Turn-on Delay
Each of REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 features a
programmable Turn-on Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
ActivePMU and ActivePath are trademarks of Active-Semi.
Each of the ACT8946A’s LDOs features an optional
output discharge function, which discharges the
output to ground through a 1.5kΩ resistance when
the LDO is disabled. This feature may be enabled
or disabled by setting DIS[-]; set DIS[-] to 1 to
enable this function, clear DIS[-] to 0 to disable it.
Low-Power Mode
Each of ACT8946A's LDOs features a LOWIQ[-] bit
which, when set to 1, reduces the LDO's quiescent
current by about 16%, saving power and extending
battery lifetime.
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each LDO features a power-OK status bit that
be read by the system microprocessor via
interface. If an output voltage is lower than
power-OK threshold, typically 11% below
programmed regulation voltage, the value of
regulator's OK[-] bit will be 0.
can
the
the
the
that
If a LDO's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the
ACT8946A will interrupt the processor if that LDO's
output voltage falls below the power-OK threshold.
In this case, nIRQ will assert low and remain
asserted until either the regulator is turned off or
back in regulation, and the OK[-] bit has been read
via I2C.
PCB Layout Considerations
The ACT8946A’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 noise-filtered reference, 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 via whenever
possible. Noisy nodes, such as from the DC/DCs,
should be routed as far away from REFBP as
possible.

ActivePath CHARGER
Table 6: Input Over-Voltage Protection Setting
General Description
The ACT8946A features an advanced battery
charger that incorporates the patent-pending
ActivePath architecture for system power selection.
This combination of circuits provides a complete,
advanced
battery-management
system
that
automatically selects the best available input
supply, manages charge current to ensure system
power availability, and provides a complete, highaccuracy (±0.5%), thermally regulated, full-featured
single-cell linear Li+ charger that can withstand
input voltages of up to 12V.
ActivePath Architecture
The ActivePath architecture
important functions:
performs
three
1) System Configuration Optimization
2) Input Protection
3) Battery-Management
System Configuration Optimization
The ActivePath circuitry monitors the state of the
input supply, the battery, and the system, and
automatically reconfigures itself to optimize the
power system. If a valid input supply is present,
ActivePath powers the system from the input while
charging the battery in parallel. This allows the
battery to charge as quickly as possible, while
supplying the system. If a valid input supply is not
present, ActivePath powers the system from the
battery. Finally, if the input is present and the
system current requirement exceeds the capability
of the input supply, ActivePath allows system power
to be drawn from both the battery and the input
supply.
Input Protection
Input Over-Voltage Protection
The ActivePath circuitry features input over-voltage
protection circuitry. This circuitry disables charging
when the input voltage exceeds the voltage set by
OVPSET[-] as shown in Table 6, but stands off the
input voltage in order to protect the system. Note
that the adjustable OVP threshold is intended to
provide the charge cycle with adjustable immunity
against upward voltage transients on the input, and
is not intended to allow continuous charging with
input voltages above the charger's normal operating
voltage range. Independent of the OVPSET[-]
setting, the charge cycle is not allowed to resume
until the input voltage falls back into the charger's
normal operating voltage range (i.e. below 6.0V).
In an input over-voltage condition this circuit limits
VVSYS to 4.6V, protecting any circuitry connected to
VSYS from the over-voltage condition, which may
exceed this circuitry's voltage capability. This circuit
is capable of withstanding input voltages of up to
12V.

Input Supply Overload Protection
The ActivePath circuitry monitors and limits the total
current drawn from the input supply to a value set
by the ACIN and CHGLEV inputs, as well as the
resistor connected to ISET. Drive ACIN to a logiclow for “USB Mode”, which limits the input current to
either 100mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logiclow, or 450mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logichigh. Drive ACIN to a logic-high for “AC-Mode”,
which limits the input current to 2A, typically.
Input Under Voltage Lockout
If the input voltage applied to CHGIN falls below
3.5V (typ), an input under-voltage condition is
detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input
under-voltage condition is detected, a new charge
cycle will initiate when the input exceeds the undervoltage threshold by at least 500mV.
Battery Management
The ACT8946A features a full-featured, intelligent
charger for Lithium-based cells, and was designed
specifically to provide a complete charging solution
with minimum system design effort.
The core of the charger is a CC/CV (ConstantCurrent/Constant-Voltage), linear-mode charge
controller. This controller incorporates current and
voltage sense circuitry, an internal 70mΩ power
MOSFET, thermal-regulation circuitry, a fullfeatured state machine that implements charge
control and safety features, and circuitry that
eliminates the reverse blocking diode required by
conventional charger designs.
The charge termination voltage is highly accurate
(±0.5%), and features a selection of charge safety
time-out periods that protect the system from
operation with damaged cells. Other features
include pin-programmable fast-charge current and
one current-limited nSTAT output that can directly
drive LED indicator or provide a logic-level status
signal to the host microprocessor.
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC)
The ACT8946A's ActivePath charger features
dynamic charge current control (DCCC) circuitry,
which acts to ensure that the system remains
powered while operating within the maximum output
capability of the power adapter. The DCCC circuitry
continuously monitors VVSYS, and if the voltage at
VSYS drops by more than 200mV, the DCCC

circuitry automatically reduces charge current in
order to prevent VVSYS from continuing to drop.
Charge Current Programming
The ACT8946A'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 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 1.2V 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 the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V
threshold, the charger operates in “AC-Mode” with a
charge current programmed by RISET, and the RISET
is given by:
RISET (kΩ) = 2336 × (1V/ICHG (mA)) - 0.205
With a given RISET then charge current will reduce 5
times when CHGLEV is driven low.
When ACIN is below the 1.2V threshold, the
charger operates in “USB-Mode”, with a maximum
CHGIN input current and charge current defined by
the CHGLEV input; 450mA, if CHGLEV is driven to
a logic-high, or 100mA, if CHGLEV is driven to a
logic-low.
The ACT8946A's charge current settings are
summarized in Table 7.

Note that the actual charge current may be limited

Charger Input Interrupts
In order to ease input supply detection and
eliminate the size and cost of external detection
circuitry, the charger has the ability to generate
interrupts based upon the status of the input supply.
This function is capable of generating an interrupt
ActivePMU and ActivePath are trademarks of Active-Semi.
when the input is connected, disconnected, or both.
An interrupt is generated any time the input supply
is connected when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the
INCON[-] bit is set to 1, and an interrupt is
generated any time the input supply is disconnected
when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the INDIS[ ] bit is
set to 1.
INDAT[-] indicates the status of the CHGIN input
supply. A value of 1 indicates that a valid CHGIN
input (CHGIN UVLO Threshold<VCHGIN<CHGIN
OVP Threshold) is present, a value of 0 indicates a
valid input is not present.
When an interrupt is generated by the input supply,
reading the INSTAT[ ] returns a value of 1.
INSTAT [ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon
reading. When no interrupt is generated by the
input supply, reading the INSTAT[ ] returns a value
of 0.
When responding to an Input Status Interrupt, it is
often useful to know the state of the ACIN input. For
example, in a dual-input charger application
knowing the state of the ACIN input can identify
which type of input supply has been connected. The
state of the ACIN input can be read at any time by
reading the ACINSTAT[-] bit, where a value of 1
indicates that the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V
threshold (indicating that a wall-cube has been
attached), and a value of 0 indicates that the
voltage is below this threshold (indicating that ACIN
input is not valid and USB supply input is selected).
Thermal Regulation
The charger features an internal thermal regulation
loop that monitors die temperature and reduces
charging current as needed to ensure that the die
temperature does not exceed the thermal regulation
threshold of 110°C. This feature protects 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.
Charge Safety Timers
The charger features programmable charge safety
timers which help ensure a safe charge by
detecting potentially damaged cells. These timers
are programmable via the PRETIMO[1:0] and
TOTTIMO[1:0] bits, as shown in Table 8 and Table
9. Note that in order to account for reduced charge
current resulting from DCCC operation in thermal
regulation mode, the charge time-out periods are
extended proportionally to the reduction in charge
current. As a result, the actual safety period may
exceed the nominal timer period.
Charger Timer Interrupts
The charger features the ability to generate
interrupts based upon the status of the charge
timers. Set the TIMRPRE[ ] bit to 1 and
TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when
- 31 -

the Precondition Timer expires. Set the TIMRTOT[ ]
bit to 1 and TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an
interrupt when the Total-Charge Timer expires.
TIMRDAT[ ] indicates the status of the charge
timers. A value of 1 indicates a precondition timeout or a total charge time-out occurs, a value of 0
indicates other cases.
When an interrupt is generated by the charge
timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a value of
1. TIMRSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon
reading. When no interrupt is generated by the
charge timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a
value of 0.

Reverse-Current Protection
The charger includes internal reverse-current
protection 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 CHGIN falls
below VBAT, the charger automatically reconfigures
its power switch to minimize current drawn from the
battery.
Battery Temperature Monitoring
In a typical application, the TH pin is connected to
the battery pack's thermistor input, as shown in
Figure 3. The charger continuously monitors the
temperature of the battery pack by injecting a
102μA (typ) current into the thermistor (via the TH
pin) and sensing the voltage at TH. The voltage at
TH is continuously monitored, and charging is
suspended if the voltage at TH exceeds either of
the internal VTHH and VTHL thresholds of 0.5V and
2.51V, respectively.

Charge Status Indicator
The charger provides a charge-status indicator
output, nSTAT. nSTAT is an open-drain output
which sinks current when the charger is in an
active-charging state, and is high-Z otherwise.
nSTAT features an internal 8mA current limit, and is
capable of directly driving a LED without the need
of a current-limiting resistor or other external
circuitry. To drive an LED, simply connect the LED
between nSTAT pin and an appropriate supply,
such as VSYS. For a logic-level charge status
indication, simply connect a resistor from nSTAT to
an appropriate voltage supply.

Battery Temperature Interrupts
In order to ease detecting the status of the battery
temperature, the charger features the ability to
generate interrupts based upon the status of the
battery temperature. Set the TEMPOUT[ ] bit to 1
and TEMPSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt
when battery temperature goes out of the valid
temperature range. Set the TEMPIN[ ] bit to 1 and

reading the TEMPSTAT[ ] returns a value of 0.
In the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state, the charger
presents a high-impedance to the battery,
minimizing battery current drain and allowing the
cell to “relax”. The charger continues to monitor the
cell voltage, and re-initiates a charging sequence if
the cell voltage drops to 205mV (typ) below the
charge termination voltage.
Charge-Control State Machine
SUSPEND State
PRECONDITION State
A new charging cycle begins with the
PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in
this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition
Threshold
Voltage.
When
operating
in
PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at 10%
of the programmed maximum fast-charge constant
current, ICHG.
Once VBAT reaches the Precondition Threshold
Voltage, the state machine jumps to the FASTCHARGE state. If VBAT does not reach the
Precondition Threshold Voltage before the
Precondition Time-out period expires, then the state
machine jumps to the TIME-OUT-FAULT state in
order to prevent charging a damaged cell. See the
Charge Safety Timers section for more information.
FAST-CHARGE State
In the FAST-CHARGE state, the charger operates
in constant-current (CC) mode and regulates the
charge current to the current set by RISET . Charging
continues in CC mode until VBAT reaches the charge
termination voltage (VTERM), at which point the statemachine jumps to the TOP-OFF state. If VBAT does
not reach VTERM before the total time out period
expires then the state-machine will jump to the
“EOC” state and will re-initiate a new charge cycle
after 32ms “relax”. See the Current Limits and
Charge Current Programming sections for more
information about setting the maximum charge
current.
TOP-OFF State
In the TOP-OFF state, the cell charges in constantvoltage (CV) mode. In CV mode operation, the
charger regulates its output voltage to the 4.20V
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 ENDOF-CHARGE (EOC) state.
If the state-machine does not jump out of the TOPOFF state before the Total-Charge Time-out period
expires, then the state machine jumps to the EOC
state and will re-initiate a new charge cycle if VBAT
falls below termination voltage 205mV (typ). For
more information about the charge safety timers,
see the Charging Safety Times section.

The state-machine jumps to the SUSPEND state
any time the battery is removed, and any time the
input voltage either falls below the CHGIN UVLO
threshold or exceeds the OVP threshold. Once
none of these conditions are present, a new charge
cycle initiates.
A charging cycle may also be suspended manually
by setting the SUSPEND[ ] bit. In this case, initiate
a new charging sequence by clearing SUSPEND[ ]
to 0.
State Machine Interrupts
The charger features the ability to generate
interrupts when the charger state machine
transitions, based upon the status of the CHG_ bits.
Set CHGEOCIN[ ] bit to 1 and CHGSTAT[ ] bit to 1
to generate an interrupt when the charger state
machine goes into the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC)
state. Set CHGEOCOUT[ ] bit to 1 and CHGSTAT[ ]
bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when the charger
state machine exits the EOC state.
CHGDAT[ ] indicates the status of the charger state
machine. A value of 1 indicates that the charger
state machine is in END-OF-CHARGE state, a
value of 0 indicates the charger state machine is in
other states.
When an interrupt is generated by the charger state
machine, reading the CHGSTAT[ ] returns a value
of 1. CHGSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon
reading. When no interrupt is generated by the
charger state machine, reading the CHGSTAT[ ]
returns a value of 0.
For additional information about the charge cycle,
CSTATE[1:0] may be read at any time via I2C to
determine the current charging state.

ERRATA INFO
Errata Name: ACT8946A creates I2C BUS
contention
Device Identification: Parts marked
ACT8946AQJ203
Description:
The ACT8946A features an I2C interface that only
supports standard single-byte I2C command. After it
detects a START condition, it will wait for its correct
device address to issue the Acknowledge (ACK) by
pulling the SDA low. Therefore, if the ACT8946A I2C
bus shares with a multiple-byte I2C device, it would
accidently issue an ACK once its address is detected
and pull SDA low during mass data transmission
between the MCU and the co-slave device. This
action would cause the I2C BUS to be frozen
unexpectedly.
Recommendation:
To avoid the I2C BUS contention, we highly
recommend customer to use ACT8946A I2C
separately from a multiple-byte I2C device such as a
touch screen controller.
However, in case the ACT8946A has to share the
I2C bus with a multiple-byte I2C device, the
ACT8946A features a function to allow customer to
disable its I2C interface to avoid the conflict.
Workaround:
For cases where ACT8946A I2C lines are already
shared with some other components, ACT8946A
features a function to allow user to disable its I2C
interface to avoid conflicts. The following I2C write
sequences perform this operation and configure
SDA and SCL as high-Z pin.
Disable ACT8946AQJ203 I2C Interface
To disable the I2C interface of ACT8946AQJ203
and configure the SDA and SCL pins to input logic
pins, customer can use I2C to write the following
commands in sequence below:
1.Write address 0x0B with 0xE8
2.Write address 0x02 with 0x07
3.Write address 0x03 with 0x01
