MAXIM MAX8934GETI+

19-5296; Rev 0; 6/10
Dual-Input Linear Charger, Smart Power Selector
with Advanced Battery Temperature Monitoring
The MAX8934G dual-input Li+/Li-Poly linear battery charger with Smart Power SelectorK safely charges a single
Li+/Li-Poly cell in accordance with JEITA* recommendations. The MAX8934G monitors the battery temperature
(TBATT) while charging, and automatically adjusts the
fast-charge current and charge termination voltage as the
battery temperature varies. The MAX8934G also monitors
the battery temperature while the battery is discharging,
and provides a warning flag (OT) to the system in the
event that the battery is over temperature. Safety region
2 is supported (see Figure 6 for details). An ultra-low IQ,
always-on LDO provides an additional 3.3V supply for
system power.
The MAX8934G operates with either separate inputs
for USB and AC adapter power, or from a single input
that accepts both. All power switches for charging and
switching the load between battery and external power
are included on-chip. No external MOSFETs are required.
The MAX8934G features a Smart Power Selector to make
the best use of limited USB or adapter power. Input current limit and battery charge current limit are independently set. Input power not used by the system charges
the battery. Charge current limit and DC current limit can
be set up to 1.5A and 2A, respectively, while USB input
current can be set to 100mA or 500mA. Automatic input
selection switches the system load from battery to external
power.

Detailed Description
The MAX8934G is a dual-input linear charger with Smart
Power Selector that safely charges a single Li+/Li-Poly cell
in accordance with JEITA specifications. The MAX8934G
integrates power MOSFETs and control circuitry to manage
power flow in portable devices. See Figure 1. The charger
has two power inputs, DC and USB. These can be separately connected to an AC adapter output and a USB port,
or the DC input could be a single power input that connects
to either an adapter or USB. Logic inputs, PEN1 and PEN2,
select the correct current limits for two-input or single-input
operation. Figure 2 is the typical application circuit using
separate DC and USB connectors. Figure 3 is the typical
application circuit using a 5-pin USB connector or another
DC/USB common connector.
In addition to charging the battery, the MAX8934G also
supplies power to the system through the SYS output. The
charging current is also provided from SYS so that the set
input current limit controls the total SYS current, where total
SYS current is the sum of the system load current and the
battery-charging current. SYS is powered from either the
DC input pin or the USB input pin. If both the DC and USB
sources are connected, DC takes precedence.
100kI
1.5kI ±1% for 2A limit
3kI ±1% for 1A charging
In some instances, there may not be enough adapter
current or USB current to supply peak system loads. The
MAX8934G Smart Power Selector circuitry offers flexible
power distribution from an AC adapter or USB source to
the battery and system load. The battery is charged with
any available power not used by the system load. If a
system load peak exceeds the input current limit, supplemental current is taken from the battery. Thermal limiting
prevents overheating by reducing power drawn from the
input source.
The MAX8934G features an overvoltage limiter at SYS. If
the DC or USB input voltage exceeds the SYS regulation
voltage, VSYS does not follow VDC or VUSB, but remains
at its regulation voltage. The MAX8934G has numerous
other charging and power-management features that are
detailed in the following sections.
A 3.3V ultra-low quiescent current, always-on LDO provides up to 30mA for indicator LEDs and for backup
power to the system. This LDO powers the thermistor
monitor circuitry and provides bias to the external pullup
resistor for the thermistor.

The MAX8934G Smart Power Selector seamlessly distributes power among the external inputs, the battery,
and the system load (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
The basic functions performed are:
U With both an external power supply (USB or adapter)

System Load Switch
An internal 40mI MOSFET connects SYS to BATT (Q3
in the Typical Operating Circuit) when no voltage source
is available at DC or USB. When an external source is
detected at DC or USB, this switch is opened and SYS
is powered from the valid input source through the input
limiter.
The SYS-BATT switch also holds up SYS when the system
load exceeds the input current limit. If that should happen,
the SYS-BATT switch turns on so that the battery supplies
additional SYS load current. If the system load continuously exceeds the input current limit, the battery does not
charge, even though external power is connected. This is
not expected to occur in most cases, since high loads usually occur only in short peaks. During these peaks, battery
energy is used, but at all other times the battery charges.
Input Limiter
The input voltage limiter is essentially an LDO regulator. While in dropout, the regulator dissipates a small
I2R loss through the 0.2I MOSFET (Q1 in the Typical
Operating Circuit) between DC and SYS. With an AC
adapter or USB source connected, the input limiter
distributes power from the external power source to the
system load and battery charger. In addition to the input
limiter’s primary function of passing power to the system
and charger loads at SYS, it performs several additional
functions to optimize use of available power.
Input Voltage Limiting
If an input voltage is above the overvoltage threshold
(6.9V typ), the MAX8934G enters overvoltage lockout
(OVLO). OVLO protects the MAX8934G and downstream
circuitry from high-voltage stress up to 14V at DC and
8V at USB. In OVLO, VL remains on, the input switch that
sees overvoltage (Q1, Q2, Typical Operating Circuit)
opens, the appropriate power-monitor output (DOK,
UOK) is high impedance, and CHG is high impedance.
If both DC and USB see overvoltage, both input switches
(Q1 and Q2, Typical Operating Circuit) open and the
charger turns off. The BATT-to-SYS switch (Q3, Typical
Operating Circuit) closes, allowing the battery to power
SYS. An input is also invalid if it is less than BATT, or less
than the DC undervoltage threshold of 3.5V (falling). With
an invalid input voltage, SYS connects to BATT through a
40mI switch (Q3, Typical Operating Circuit).
Input Overcurrent Protection
The current at DC and USB is limited to prevent input
overload. This current limit can be selected to match the
capabilities of the source, whether it is a 100mA or 500mA
USB source, or an AC adapter. When the load exceeds
the input current limit, SYS drops to 75mV below BATT
and the battery supplies supplemental load current.
Thermal Limiting
The MAX8934G reduces input limiter current by 5%/NC
when its die temperature exceeds +100NC. The system
load (SYS) has priority over the charger current, so lowering the charge current first reduces the input current. If
the junction temperature still reaches +120NC in spite of
charge current reduction, no input (DC or USB) current
is drawn, the battery supplies the entire system load,
and SYS is regulated at 75mV below BATT. Note that
this on-chip thermal-limiting circuitry is not related to and
operates independently from the thermistor input.
Adaptive Battery Charging
While the system is powered from DC, the charger draws
power from SYS to charge the battery. If the charger
load plus system load exceeds the input current limit, an
adaptive charger control loop reduces charge current
to prevent the SYS voltage from collapsing. Maintaining
a higher SYS voltage improves efficiency and reduces
power dissipation in the input limiter. The total current
through the switch (Q1 or Q2 in the Typical Operating
Circuit) is the sum of the load current at SYS and the battery charging current. The MAX8934G limiter clamps at
4.35V, so input voltages greater than 4.35V can increase
power dissipation in the limiter. The MAX8934G input

Current-Limit Options
Input Current Limit
The input and charger current limits are set as shown
in Table 2. It is often preferable to change the input
current limit as the input power source is changed. The
MAX8934G facilitates this by allowing different input current limits for DC and USB as shown in Table 2.
When the input current limit is reached, the first action
taken by the MAX8934G is to reduce the battery charge
current. This allows the regulator to stay in dropout during heavy loads, thus reducing power dissipation. If, after
the charge current is reduced to 0mA, the load at SYS
still exceeds the input current limit, SYS voltage begins
to fall. When the SYS voltage drops to BATT, the SYSto-BATT switch turns on, using battery power to support
the system load during the load peak. The MAX8934G
features flexible input connections (at the DC and USB
input pins) and current-limit settings (set by PEN1, PEN2,
PSET, and ISET) to accommodate nearly any input
power configuration. However, it is expected that most
systems use one of two external power schemes: separate connections for USB and an AC adapter, or a single
connector that accepts either USB or AC adapter output.
Input and charger current limit are controlled by PEN1,
PEN2, RPSET, and RISET, as shown in Table 2.
Separate Adapter and USB Connectors
When the AC adapter and USB have separate connectors, the adapter output connects to DC and the USB
source connects to USB. PEN1 is permanently connected
high (to DC or VL). The DC current limit is set by RPSET,
while the USB current limit is set by PEN2 and USUS.
Single Common Connector
for USB or Adapter
When a single common connector is used for both AC
adapter and USB sources, the DC input is used for
both input sources. The unused USB inputs should be
grounded when an AC adapter is connected at DC,
PEN1 should be pulled high to select the current limit
set by RPSET. When a USB source is connected, PEN1
should be low to select 500mA, 100mA, or USB suspend
(further selected by PEN2 and USUS). PEN1 can be
pulled up by the AC adapter power to implement hardware adapter/USB selection.
USB Suspend
Driving USUS high when PEN1 is low turns off the charger and reduces input current to 190FA to accommodate
USB suspend mode. The input limiter is disabled and
SYS is supported by BATT.
Power Monitor Outputs (UOK, DOK)
DOK is an open-drain output that pulls low when the DC
input has valid power. UOK is an open-drain output that
pulls low when the USB input has valid power. A valid
input for DC or USB is between 4.1V and 6.6V. If a single
power-OK output is preferred, DOK and UOK can be
wire-ORed together. The combined output then pulls low
if either USB or DC is valid.

limiter power loss is (VDC – VSYS) x IDC, where VSYS
may be as high as 4.35V. The input limiter power loss is
not less than 0.2I x IDC2. Also note that the MAX8934G
turns off when any input exceeds 6.9V (typ).
MAX8934G
Dual-Input Linear Charger, Smart Power Selector

Soft-Start
To prevent input transients that can cause instability in
the USB or AC adapter power source, the rate of change
of input current and charge current is limited. When a
valid DC or USB input is connected, the input current
limit is ramped from zero to the set current-limit value (as
shown in Table 2). If DC is connected with no USB power
present, input current ramps in 1.5ms. If DC is connected with USB already present, input current ramps in
50Fs. When USB is connected with no DC present, input
current also ramps in 50Fs. If USB is connected with DC
already present, the USB input is ignored.
If an adapter is plugged into DC while USB is already
powered, the input current limit reramps from zero back
up to the DC current limit so that the AC adapter does
not see a load step. During this transition, if the input
current limit is below the SYS load current, the battery
supplies the additional current needed to support the
load. Additionally, capacitance can be added to SYS to
support the load during input power transitions. When
the charger is turned on, charge current ramps from zero
to the ISET current value in 1.5ms. Charge current also
ramps when transitioning to fast-charge from prequal
and when changing the USB charge current from 100mA
to 500mA with PEN2. There is no dI/dt limiting, however,
if ISET is changed suddenly using a switch at RISET.
Battery Charger
The battery charger state diagram is illustrated in Figure
7. With a valid DC or USB input, the battery charger
initiates a charge cycle when the charger is enabled. It
first detects the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is
less than the BATT prequal threshold (3.0V), the charger
enters prequal mode and charges the battery at 20% of
the maximum fast-charge current. This reduced charge
rate ensures that the maximum fast-charge current setting does not damage a deeply discharged battery.
Once the battery voltage rises to 3.0V, the charger transitions to fast-charge mode and applies the maximum
charge current. As charging continues, the battery voltage rises until it approaches the battery regulation voltage where charge current starts tapering down. When
charge current decreases to 20% of the fast-charge
current, the charger enters a brief 15s top-off state, then
DONE pulls low and charging stops. If the battery voltage subsequently drops below the recharge threshold,
charging restarts and the timers reset.
Charge Enable (CEN)
When CEN is low, the charger is on. When CEN is high,
the charger turns off. CEN does not affect the SYS output. In many systems, there is no need for the system
controller (typically a microprocessor) to disable the
charger, because the MAX8934G Smart Power Selector
circuitry independently manages charging and adapter/
battery power hand-off. In these situations, CEN can be
connected to ground.
Setting the Charge Current
ISET adjusts charge current to match the capacity of the
battery. A resistor from ISET to ground sets the maximum
fast-charge current:
ICHGMAX = 2000 x 1.5V/RISET = 3000V/RISET
Determine the ICHGMAX value by considering the characteristics of the battery. It is not necessary to limit the
charge current based on the capabilities of the expected
AC adapter/USB charging input, the system load, or
thermal limitations of the PCB. The MAX8934G automatically adjusts the charging algorithm to accommodate
these factors.
Monitoring the Charge Current
In addition to setting the charge current, ISET can also
be used to monitor the actual current charging the battery. See Figure 4. The ISET output voltage is:
VISET = ICHG x 1.5V/ICHGMAX = ICHG x RISET/2000
where ICHGMAX is the set fast-charge current and ICHG
is the actual battery charge current. A 1.5V output indicates the battery is being charged at the maximum set
fast charge current; 0V indicates no charging. This voltage is also used by the charger control circuitry to set
and monitor the battery current. Avoid adding more than
10pF capacitance directly to the ISET pin. If filtering of
the charge-current monitor is necessary, add a resistor
of 100kI or more between ISET and the filter capacitor
to preserve charger stability.
Note that the actual charge current can be less than the
set fast-charge current when the charger enters voltage
mode or when the input current limiter or thermal limiter
reduces charge current. This prevents the charger from
overloading the input source or overheating the system.
Charge Termination
When the charge current falls to the termination threshold
and the charger is in voltage mode, charging is complete. Charging continues for a brief 15s top-off period
and then enters the DONE state where charging stops.
The DONE current threshold (IDONE) is set to 20% of the

fast-charge current setting. Note that if charge current
falls to IDONE as a result of the input or thermal limiter,
the charger does not enter the DONE state. For the charger to enter the DONE state, the charge current must be
less than IDONE, the charger must be in voltage mode,
and the input or thermal limiter must not be reducing the
charge current. The charger exits the DONE state, and
fast-charge resumes if the battery voltage subsequently
drops 104mV or if CEN is cycled.
Charge Status Outputs
TOP − OFF:t TO = 15s
While in fast-charge mode, a large system load or device
self-heating can cause the MAX8934G to reduce charge
current. Under these circumstances, the fast-charge
timer adjusts to ensure that adequate charge time is still
allowed. Consequently, the fast-charge timer is slowed
by 2x if charge current is reduced below 50% of the programmed fast-charge level. If charge current is reduced
to below 20% of the programmed level, the fast-charge
timer is paused. The fast-charge timer is not adjusted
if the charger is in voltage mode where charge current
reduces due to current tapering under normal charging.
Charge Output (CHG)
CHG is an open-drain, active-low output that is low during charging. CHG is low when the battery charger is in
its prequalification and fast-charge states. When charge
current falls to the charge termination threshold (IDONE)
and the charger is in voltage mode, CHG goes high
impedance. CHG goes high impedance if the thermistor
causes the charger to enter temperature suspend mode.
To exit a fault state, toggle CEN or remove and reconnect
the input source(s). Note also that thermistor out of range
or on-chip thermal-limit conditions are not considered
faults. When the MAX8934G is used in conjunction with a
FP, connect a pullup resistor between FLT and the logic
I/O voltage to indicate fault status to the FP. Alternatively,
FLT can sink up to 20mA for an LED indicator.
When the MAX8934G is used with a microprocessor (FP),
connect a pullup resistor between CHG and the logic I/O
voltage to indicate charge status to the FP. Alternatively,
CHG can sink up to 20mA for an LED indicator.
The MAX8934G thermistor monitor is configured to
execute JEITA recommendations regarding Li+/Li-Poly
battery charging by adjusting the fast charge current
and/or the charge termination voltage accordingly (see
Figure 6 ). Connect the THM input to an external negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor to monitor battery or system temperature. Since the thermistor monitoring circuit employs an external bias resistor from THM
to THMSW, the thermistor is not limited only to 10kI (at

DONE can sink up to 20mA for an LED indicator.
Fault Output (FLT) and Charge Timer
FLT is an open-drain, active-low output that goes low
during a battery fault. The fault state occurs when either
the prequal or fast-charge timer expires. The prequal
and fast-charge fault timers are set by CCT:

as the value of RTHMSW is equivalent to the thermistor’s

optimized for a thermistor Beta of 3964. The general relation of thermistor resistance to temperature is defined by
the following equation:

Good design minimizes ground bounce and voltage

the power-ground plane at only one point to minimize the
effects of power-ground currents. Battery ground should
connect directly to the power-ground plane. Connect
GND to the exposed pad directly under the IC. Use multiple tightly spaced vias to the ground plane under the
exposed pad to help cool the IC. Position input capacitors from DC, SYS, BATT, and USB to the power-ground
plane as close as possible to the IC. Keep high current
traces such as those to DC, SYS, and BATT as short and
wide as possible. Refer to the MAX8934A Evaluation Kit
for a suitable PCB layout example.

providing the user with the means to minimize the battery current drain caused by the thermistor monitor. The
