The bq24618 operates from either a USB port or AC
adapter and support the charge currents up to 10A.
The device charges the battery in three phases:
preconditioning, constant current, and constant
voltage. Charge is terminated when the current
reaches a minimum user-selectable level. A
programmable charge timer provides a safety backup
for charge termination. The bq24618 automatically
restarts the charge cycle if the battery voltage falls
below an internal threshold, and enters a
low-quiescent current sleep mode when the input
voltage falls below the battery voltage.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The bq24618 controls external switches to prevent battery discharge back to the input, connect the adapter to
the system, and to connect the battery to the system using 6-V gate drives for better system efficiency. The
bq24618 features Dynamic Power Management (DPM). These features reduce battery charge current when the
input power limit is reached to avoid overloading the AC adapter when supplying the load and the battery charger
simultaneously. A highly-accurate current-sense amplifier enables precise measurement of input current from the
AC adapter to monitor the overall system power.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to GND if not specified. Currents are positive into, negative out of the specified terminal. Consult Packaging
Section of the data book for thermal limitations and considerations of packages.
Must have a series resistor between battery pack to VFB if Battery Pack voltage is expected to be greater than 16V. Usually the resistor
divider top resistor will take care of this.

Battery Voltage Regulation
The bq24618 uses a high accuracy voltage band gap and regulator for the high charging voltage accuracy. The
charge voltage is programmed via a resistor divider from the battery to ground, with the midpoint tied to the VFB
pin. The voltage at the VFB pin is regulated to 2.1V, giving the following equation for the regulation voltage:
é R2 ù
V
= 2.1 V ´ ê1+
ú,
BAT
ë R1 û
(1)
where R2 is connected from VFB to the battery and R1 is connected from VFB to GND.
Battery Current Regulation
The ISET1 input sets the maximum fast charging current. Battery charge current is sensed by resistor RSR
connected between SRP and SRN. The full-scale differential voltage between SRP and SRN is 100mV. Thus, for
a 10mΩ sense resistor, the maximum charging current is 10A. The equation for charge current is:
VISET1
ICHARGE =
20 ´ RSR
(2)
VISET1, the input voltage range of ISET1 is between 0V and 2V. The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense
voltage across RSR with default value of 10mΩ. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger
sense resistor will give a larger sense voltage, a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher
conduction loss.

SLUSA55 – OCTOBER 2010
Input Adapter Current Regulation
The total input from an AC adapter or other DC sources is a function of the system supply current and the battery
charging current. System current normally fluctuates as portions of the systems are powered up or down. Without
Dynamic Power Management (DPM), the source must be able to supply the maximum system current and the
maximum charger input current simultaneously. By using DPM, the battery charger reduces the charging current
when the input current exceeds the input current limit set by ACSET. The current capability of the AC adaptor
can be lowered, reducing system cost.
Similar to setting battery regulation current, adaptor current is sensed by resistor RAC connected between ACP
and ACN. Its maximum value is set by ACSET using Equation 3:
VACSET
IDPM =
20 ´ RAC
(3)
VACSET, the input voltage range of ACSET is between 0 and 2V. The ACP and ACN pins are used to sense
voltage across RAC with default value of 10mΩ. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger
sense resistor will give a larger sense voltage, and a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher
conduction loss.
Precharge
On power-up, if the battery voltage is below the VLOWV threshold, the bq24618 applies the precharge current to
the battery. This feature is intended to revive deeply discharged cells. If the VLOWV threshold is not reached within
30 minutes of initiating precharge, the charger turns off and a FAULT is indicated on the status pins.
VISET2, the precharge current is determined by the voltage on the ISET2 pin according to Equation 4.
VISET2
IPRECHARGE =
100 ´ R SR
(4)
Charge Termination, Recharge, and Safety Timer
The bq24618 monitors the charging current during the voltage regulation phase. When VTTC is valid, termination
is detected while the voltage on the VFB pin is higher than the VRECH threshold AND the charge current is less
than the ITERM threshold, as calculated in Equation 5:
VISET2
ITERM =
100 ´ RSR
(5)
The input voltage of ISET2 is between 0 and 2V. The minimum precharge/termination current is clamped to be
around 125mA with default 10mΩ sensing resistor. As a safety backup, the bq24618 also provides a
programmable charge timer. The charge time is programmed by the capacitor connected between the TTC pin
and GND, and is given by Equation 6
tCHARGE = CTTC ´ K TTC
(6)
where CTTC (range from 0.01µF to 0.11 µF to give 1-10hr safety time) is the capacitor connected from TTC pin to
GND, and KTTC is the constant multiplier (5.6min/nF).
A
•
•
•
new charge cycle is initiated and safety timer is reset when one of the following conditions occur:
The battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold
A power-on-reset (POR) event occurs
CE is toggled
The TTC pin may be taken LOW to disable termination and to disable the safety timer. If TTC is pulled to VREF,
the bq24618 will continue to allow termination but disable the safety timer. TTC taken low will reset the safety
timer. When ACOV, VCCLOWV and SLEEP mode resume normal, the safety timer will be reset.

Power Up
The bq24618 uses a SLEEP comparator to determine the source of power on the VCC pin, since VCC can be
supplied either from the battery or the adapter. If the VCC voltage is greater than the SRN voltage, bq24618 will
enable the ACFET and disable BATFET. If all other conditions are met for charging, bq24618 will then attempt to
charge the battery (See Enabling and Disabling Charging). If the SRN voltage is greater than VCC, indicating
that the battery is the power source, bq24618 enables the BATFET, and enters a low quiescent current (<15mA)
SLEEP mode to minimize current drain from the battery.
If VCC is below the UVLO threshold, the device is disabled, ACFET turns off and BATFET turns on.
Enable and Disable Charging
The following conditions have to be valid before charge is enabled:
• CE is HIGH
• The device is not in Under-Voltage-Lockout (UVLO) and not in VCCLOWV mode
• The device is not in SLEEP mode
• The VCC voltage is lower than the AC over-voltage threshold (VCC < VACOV)
• 30ms delay is complete after initial power-up
• The REGN LDO and VREF LDO voltages are at the correct levels
• Thermal Shut (TSHUT) is not valid
• TS fault is not detected
One of the following conditions will stop on-going charging:
• CE is LOW;
• Adapter is removed, causing the device to enter UVLO, VCCLOWV or SLEEP mode;
• Adapter is over voltage;
• The REGN or VREF LDOs are overloaded;
• TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached (145°C on rising-edge with 15°C hysteresis).
• TS voltage goes out of range indicating the battery temperature is too hot or too cold.
• TTC safety timer out
System Power Selector
The bq24618 automatically switches adapter or battery power to the system load. The battery is connected to the
system by default during power up or during SLEEP mode. The battery is disconnected from the system and
then the adapter is connected to the system 30ms after exiting SLEEP. An automatic break-before-make logic
prevents shoot-through currents when the selectors switch.
The ACDRV is used to drive a pair of back-to-back p-channel power MOSFETs between adapter and ACP with
sources connected together and to VCC. The FET connected to adapter prevents reverse discharge from the
battery to the adapter when turned off. The p-channel FET with the drain connected to the adapter input provides
reverse battery discharge protection when off; and also minimizes system power dissipation, with its low-RDSON,
compared to a Schottky diode. The other p-channel FET connected to ACP separates battery from adapter, and
provides a limited dI/dt when connecting the adapter to the system by controlling the FET turn-on time. The
BATDRV controls a p-channel power MOSFET placed between BAT and system.
When adapter is not detected, the ACDRV is pulled to VCC to keep ACFET off, disconnecting the adapter from
system. BATDRV stays at ACN-6V to connect battery to system.
Approximately 30ms after the device comes out of SLEEP mode, the system begins to switch from battery to
adapter. The break-before-make logic keeps both ACFET and BATFET off for 10us before ACFET turns on. This
prevents shoot-through current or any large discharging current from going into the battery. The BATDRV is
pulled up to ACN and the ACDRV pin is set to VCC-6V by an internal regulator to turn on p-channel ACFET,
connecting the adapter to the system.
When the adapter is removed, the system waits until VCC drops back to within 200mV above SRN to switch from
adapter back to battery. The break-before-make logic still keeps 10ms dead time. The ACDRV is pulled up to
VCC and the BATDRV pin is set to ACN-6V by an internal regulator to turn on p-channel BATFET, connecting
the battery to the system.

SLUSA55 – OCTOBER 2010
Asymmetrical gate drive (fast turn-off and slow turn-on) for the ACDRV and BATDRV drivers provides fast
turn-off and slow turn-on of the ACFET and BATFET to help the break-before-make logic and to allow a soft-start
at turn-on of either FET. The soft-start time can be further increased, by putting a capacitor from gate to source
of the p-channel power MOSFETs.
Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current
The charger automatically soft-starts the charger regulation current every time the charger goes into fast-charge
to ensure there is no overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The soft-start consists
of stepping-up the charge regulation current into 8 evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current.
Each step lasts around 1.6ms, for a typical rise time of 12.8ms. No external components are needed for this
function.
Converter Operation
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixed frequency voltage mode with feed-forward control scheme. A
type III compensation network allows using ceramic capacitors at the output of the converter. The compensation
input stage is connected internally between the feedback output (FBO) and the error amplifier input (EAI). The
feedback compensation stage is connected between the error amplifier input (EAI) and error amplifier output
(EAO). The LC output filter is selected to give a resonant frequency of 12kHz–17kHz for bq24618, where
resonant frequency, fo, is given by:
1
fo =
2 p L o Co
(7)
An internal saw-tooth ramp is compared to the internal EAO error control signal to vary the duty-cycle of the
converter. The ramp height is 7% of the input adapter voltage making it always directly proportional to the input
adapter voltage. This cancels out any loop gain variation due to a change in input voltage, and simplifies the loop
compensation. The ramp is offset by 300mV in order to allow zero percent duty-cycle when the EAO signal is
below the ramp. The EAO signal is also allowed to exceed the saw-tooth ramp signal in order to get a 100%
duty-cycle PWM request. Internal gate drive logic allows achieving 99.5% duty-cycle while ensuring the
N-channel upper device always has enough voltage to stay fully on. If the BTST pin to PH pin voltage falls below
4.2V for more than 3 cycles, then the high-side n-channel power MOSFET is turned off and the low-side
n-channel power MOSFET is turned on to pull the PH node down and recharge the BTST capacitor. Then the
high-side driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the (BTST-PH) voltage is detected to fall low again
due to leakage current discharging the BTST capacitor below the 4.2 V, and the reset pulse is reissued.
The fixed frequency oscillator keeps tight control of the switching frequency under all conditions of input voltage,
battery voltage, charge current, and temperature, simplifying output filter design and keeping it out of the audible
noise region. Also see Application Information for how to select inductor, capacitor and MOSFET.
Synchronous and Non-Synchronous Operation
The charger operates in synchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is above 5mV (0.5A inductor current for
a 10mΩ sense resistor). During synchronous mode, the internal gate drive logic ensures there is
break-before-make complimentary switching to prevent shoot-through currents. During the 30ns dead time where
both FETs are off, the body-diode of the low-side power MOSFET conducts the inductor current. Having the
low-side FET turn-on keeps the power dissipation low, and allows safely charging at high currents. During
synchronous mode the inductor current is always flowing and converter operates in continuous conduction mode
(CCM), creating a fixed two-pole system.
The charger operates in non-synchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is below 5mV (0.5A inductor
current for a 10mΩ sense resistor). The charger is forced into non-synchronous mode when battery voltage is
lower than 2V or when the average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25mV.
During non-synchronous operation, the body-diode of lower-side MOSFET can conduct the positive inductor
current after the high-side n-channel power MOSFET turns off. When the load current decreases and the
inductor current drops to zero, the body diode will be naturally turned off and the inductor current will become
discontinuous. This mode is called Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). During DCM, the low-side n-channel
power MOSFET will turn-on for around 80ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2V, then the
low-side power MOSFET will turn-off and stay off until the beginning of the next cycle, where the high-side power
MOSFET is turned on again. The 80ns low-side MOSFET on-time is required to ensure the bootstrap capacitor is

always recharged and able to keep the high-side power MOSFET on during the next cycle. This is important for
battery chargers, where unlike regular dc-dc converters, there is a battery load that maintains a voltage and can
both source and sink current. The 80ns low-side pulse pulls the PH node (connection between high and low-side
MOSFET) down, allowing the bootstrap capacitor to recharge up to the REGN LDO value. After the 80ns, the
low-side MOSFET is kept off to prevent negative inductor current from occurring.
At very low currents during non-synchronous operation, there may be a small amount of negative inductor
current during the 80ns recharge pulse. The charge should be low enough to be absorbed by the input
capacitance. Whenever the converter goes into zero percent duty-cycle, the high-side MOSFET does not turn on,
and the low-side MOSFET does not turn on (only 80ns recharge pulse) either, and there is almost no discharge
from the battery.
During the DCM mode the loop response automatically changes and has a single pole system at which the pole
is proportional to the load current, because the converter does not sink current, and only the load provides a
current sink. This means at very low currents the loop response is slower, as there is less sinking current
available to discharge the output voltage.
Cycle-by-Cycle Charge Under Current Protection
If the SRP-SRN voltage decreases below 5mV (The charger is also forced into non-synchronous mode when the
average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25mV), the low side FET will be turned off for the remainder of the
switching cycle to prevent negative inductor current. During DCM, the low-side FET will only turn on for at around
80ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2V to provide refresh charge for the bootstrap
capacitor. This is important to prevent negative inductor current from causing a boost effect in which the input
voltage increases as power is transferred from the battery to the input capacitors and lead to an over-voltage
stress on the VCC node and potentially cause damage to the system.
Input Over Voltage Protection (ACOV)
ACOV provides protection to prevent system damage due to high input voltage. Once the adapter voltage
reaches the ACOV threshold, charge is disabled and the system is switched to battery instead of adapter.
Input Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The system must have a minimum VCC voltage to allow proper operation. This VCC voltage could come from
either input adapter or battery, since a conduction path exists from the battery to VCC through the high side
NMOS body diode. When VCC is below the UVLO threshold, all circuits on the IC are disabled, and the gate
drive bias to ACFET and BATFET are disabled.
Battery Over-Voltage Protection
The converter will not allow the high-side FET to turn-on until the BAT voltage goes below 102% of the regulation
voltage. This allows one-cycle response to an over-voltage condition – such as occurs when the load is removed
or the battery is disconnected. An 8mA current sink from SRP to GND is on only during charge and allows
discharging the stored output inductor energy that is transferred to the output capacitors. BATOVP will also
suspend the safety timer.
Cycle-by-Cycle Charge Over-Current Protection
The charger has a secondary cycle-to-cycle over-current protection. It monitors the charge current, and prevents
the current from exceeding 160% of the programmed charge current. The high-side gate drive turns off when the
over-current is detected, and automatically resumes when the current falls below the over-current threshold.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The QFN package has low thermal impedance, which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the
ambient, to keep junctions temperatures low. As added level of protection, the charger converter turns off and
self-protects whenever the junction temperature exceeds the TSHUT threshold of 145°C. The charger stays off
until the junction temperature falls below 130°C, then the charger will soft-start again if all other enable charge
conditions are valid. Thermal shutdown will also suspend the safety timer.

Temperature Qualification
The controller continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and
GND. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and an external voltage divider typically develop this
voltage. The controller compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charging is allowed.
To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) thresholds. If battery
temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends charge and the safety timer and waits until the
battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. During the charge cycle the battery temperature must
be within the V(LTF) to V(TCO) thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends
charge and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. The controller suspends
charge by turning off the PWM charge FETs. Figure below summarizes the operation.

For example, 103AT NTC thermistors are used to monitor the battery pack temperature. Select TCOLD = 0ºC and
THOT = 40ºC then we get RT2 = 430kΩ, RT1 = 9.31kΩ and TCUT-OFF is around 45ºC. A small RC filter is suggested
to use for system-level ESD protection.
Timer Fault Recovery
The bq24618 provides a recovery method to deal with timer fault conditions. The following summarizes this
method:
Condition 1: The battery voltage is above the recharge threshold and a timeout fault occurs.
Recovery Method: The timer fault will clear when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold, and
battery detection will begin. Taking CE low or a POR condition will also clear the fault.
Condition 2: The battery voltage is below the recharge threshold and a timeout fault occurs.
Recovery Method: Under this scenario, the bq24618 applies the IFAULT current to the battery. This small current
is used to detect a battery removal condition and remains on as long as the battery voltage stays below the
recharge threshold. If the battery voltage goes above the recharge threshold, the bq24618 disables the fault
current and executes the recovery method described in Condition 1. Taking CE low or a POR condition will also
clear the fault.
PG Output
The open drain PG(power good) output indicates whether the VCC voltage is valid or not. The open drain FET
turns on whenever bq24618 has a valid VCC input ( not in UVLO or ACOV or SLEEP mode). The PG pin can be
used to drive an LED or communicate to the host processor.
CE (Charge Enable)
The CE digital input is used to disable or enable the charge process. A high-level signal on this pin enables
charge, provided all the other conditions for charge are met (see Enabling and Disabling Charge). A high to low
transition on this pin also resets all timers and fault conditions. There is an internal 1MΩ pulldown resistor on the
CE pin, so if CE is floated the charge will not turn on.
Inductor, Capacitor, and Sense Resistor Selection Guidelines
The bq24618 provides internal loop compensation. With this scheme, best stability occurs when the LC resonant
frequency, fo, is approximately 12kHz–17kHz for bq24618.

Once the device has powered up, an 8mA discharge current will be applied to the SRN terminal. If the battery
voltage falls below the LOWV threshold within 1 second, the discharge source is turned off, and the charger is
turned on at low charge current (125mA). If the battery voltage gets up above the recharge threshold within
500ms, there is no battery present and the cycle restarts. If either the 500ms or 1 second timer time out before
the respective thresholds are hit, a battery is detected and a charge cycle is initiated.

Care must be taken that the total output capacitance at the battery node is not so large that the discharge current

Where CMAX is the maximum output capacitance, IDISCH is the discharge current, tDISCH is the discharge time, and

between the RECHARGE and the LOWV thresholds at the VFB pin.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
The bq24618 has 600kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small inductor and capacitor values. Inductor
saturation current should be higher than the charging current (ICHG) plus half the ripple current (IRIPPLE):
ISAT ³ ICHG + (1/2) IRIPPLE
(12)
The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VIN), duty cycle (D=VOUT/VIN), switching frequency (fs) and
inductance (L):
V ´ D ´ (1 - D)
IRIPPLE = IN
fS ´ L
(13)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5 or close to 0.5. For example, the battery charging
voltage range is from 9V to 12.6V for 3-cell battery pack. For 20V adapter voltage, 10V battery voltage gives the
maximum inductor ripple current. Another example is 4-cell battery, the battery voltage range is from 12V to
16.8V, and 12V battery voltage gives the maximum inductor ripple current.
Usually inductor ripple is designed in the range of (20–40%) maximum charging current as a trade-off between
inductor size and efficiency for a practical design.
The bq24618 has cycle-by-cycle charge under current protection (UCP) by monitoring charging current sensing
resistor to prevent negative inductor current. The Typical UCP threshold is 5mV falling edge corresponding to
0.5A falling edge for a 10mΩ charging current sensing resistor.
Input Capacitor
Input capacitor should have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching ripple current. The worst case
RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate at
50% duty cycle, then the worst case capacitor RMS current ICIN occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50%
and can be estimated by the following equation:
ICIN = ICHG ´
D ´ (1 - D)
(14)
Low ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for input decoupling capacitor and should be
placed to the drain of the high side MOSFET and source of the low side MOSFET as close as possible. Voltage
rating of the capacitor must be higher than normal input voltage level. 25V rating or higher capacitor is preferred
for 20V input voltage. 10-20µF capacitance is suggested for typical of 3-4A charging current.
Output Capacitor
Output capacitor also should have enough ripple current rating to absorb output switching ripple current. The
output capacitor RMS current ICOUT is given:
I
ICOUT = RIPPLE » 0.29 ´ IRIPPLE
2 ´ 3
(15)
The output capacitor voltage ripple can be calculated as follows:
DVo =

(16)
At certain input/output voltage and switching frequency, the voltage ripple can be reduced by increasing the
output filter LC.
The bq24618 has internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output
inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 12 kHz and 17 kHz. The preferred ceramic capacitor
is 25V or higher rating, X7R or X5R for 4-cell application.

Power MOSFETs Selection
Two external N-channel MOSFETs are used for a synchronous switching battery charger. The gate drivers are
internally integrated into the IC with 6V of gate drive voltage. 30V or higher voltage rating MOSFETs are
preferred for 20V input voltage and 40V or higher rating MOSFETs are preferred for 20-28V input voltage.
Figure-of-merit (FOM) is usually used for selecting proper MOSFET based on a tradeoff between the conduction
loss and switching loss. For top side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of a MOSFET's on-resistance,
RDS(ON), and the gate-to-drain charge, QGD. For bottom side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of the
MOSFET's on-resistance, RDS(ON), and the total gate charge, QG.
FOM top = RDS(on) ´ QG D
FOMbottom = RDS(on) ´ QG
(17)
The lower the FOM value, the lower the total power loss. Usually lower RDS(ON) has higher cost with the same
package size.
The top-side MOSFET loss includes conduction loss and switching loss. It is a function of duty cycle
(D=VOUT/VIN), charging current (ICHG), MOSFET's on-resistance RDS(ON)), input voltage (VIN), switching frequency
(F), turn on time (ton) and turn off time (ttoff):
1
Ptop = D ´ ICHG2 ´ RDS(on) +
´ VIN ´ ICHG ´ (t on + t off ) ´ fS
2
(18)
The first item represents the conduction loss. Usually MOSFET RDS(ON) increases by 50% with 100ºC junction
temperature rise. The second term represents the switching loss. The MOSFET turn-on and turn off times are
given by:
Q
Q
ton = SW , t off = SW
Ion
Ioff
(19)
where Qsw is the switching charge, Ion is the turn-on gate driving current and Ioff is the turn-off gate driving
current. If the switching charge is not given in MOSFET datasheet, it can be estimated by gate-to-drain charge
(QGD) and gate-to-source charge (QGS):
1
QSW = QGD +
´ QGS
2
(20)
Gate driving current total can be estimated by REGN voltage (VREGN), MOSFET plateau voltage (Vplt), total
turn-on gate resistance (Ron) and turn-off gate resistance Roff) of the gate driver:
VREG N - Vplt
Vplt
Ion =
, Ioff =
Ron
Roff
(21)
The conduction loss of the bottom-side MOSFET is calculated with the following equation when it operates in
synchronous continuous conduction mode:
Pbottom = (1 - D) ´ ICHG 2 ´ RDS(on)
(22)
If the SRP-SRN voltage decreases below 5mV (The charger is also forced into non-synchronous mode when the
average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25mV), the low side FET will be turned off for the remainder of the
switching cycle to prevent negative inductor current.
As a result all the freewheeling current goes through the body-diode of the bottom-side MOSFET. The maximum
charging current in non-synchronous mode can be up to 0.9A (0.5A typ) for a 10mΩ charging current sensing
resistor considering IC tolerance. Choose the bottom-side MOSFET with either an internal Schottky or body
diode capable of carrying the maximum non-synchronous mode charging current.
MOSFET gate driver power loss contributes to the dominant losses on controller IC, when the buck converter is
switching. Choosing the MOSFET with a small Qg_total will reduce the IC power loss to avoid thermal shutdown.
PICLoss_driver = VIN × Qg_total × fs

Input Filter Design
During adapter hot plug-in, the parasitic inductance and input capacitor from the adapter cable form a second
order system. The voltage spike at VCC pin maybe beyond IC maximum voltage rating and damage IC. The
input filter must be carefully designed and tested to prevent over voltage event on VCC pin. ACP/ACN pin needs
to be placed after the input ACFET in order to avoid the over-voltage stress on these pins during hot-plug-in.
There are several methods to damping or limit the over voltage spike during adapter hot plug-in. An electrolytic
capacitor with high ESR as an input capacitor can damp the over voltage spike well below the IC maximum pin
voltage rating. A high current capability TVS Zener diode can also limit the over voltage level to an IC safe level.
However these two solutions may not have low cost or small size.
A cost effective and small size solution is shown in Figure 22. The R1 and C1 are composed of a damping RC
network to damp the hot plug-in oscillation. As a result the over voltage spike is limited to a safe level. D1 is used
for reverse voltage protection for VCC pin ( it can be the body diode of input ACFET). C2 is VCC pin decoupling
capacitor and it should be place to VCC pin as close as possible. The R2 and C2 form a damping RC network to
further protect the IC from high dv/dt and high voltage spike. C2 value should be less than C1 value so R1 can
dominant the equivalent ESR value to get enough damping effect for hot plug-in. R1 and R2 package must be
sized enough to handle inrush current power loss according to resistor manufacturer’s datasheet. The filter
components value always need to be verified with real application and minor adjustments may need to fit in the
real application circuit.

PCB Layout
The switching node rise and fall times should be minimized for minimum switching loss. Proper layout of the
components to minimize high frequency current path loop (see Figure 23) is important to prevent electrical and
magnetic field radiation and high frequency resonant problems. Here is a PCB layout priority list for proper
layout. Layout PCB according to this specific order is essential.
1. Place input capacitor as close as possible to switching MOSFET’s supply and ground connections and use
shortest copper trace connection. These parts should be placed on the same layer of PCB instead of on
different layers and using vias to make this connection.
2. The IC should be placed close to the switching MOSFET’s gate terminals and keep the gate drive signal
traces short for a clean MOSFET drive. The IC can be placed on the other side of the PCB of switching
MOSFETs.
3. Place inductor input terminal to switching MOSFET’s output terminal as close as possible. Minimize the
copper area of this trace to lower electrical and magnetic field radiation but make the trace wide enough to
carry the charging current. Do not use multiple layers in parallel for this connection. Minimize parasitic
capacitance from this area to any other trace or plane.
4. The charging current sensing resistor should be placed right next to the inductor output. Route the sense
leads connected across the sensing resistor back to the IC in same layer, close to each other (minimize loop
area) and do not route the sense leads through a high-current path (see Figure 24 for Kelvin connection for
best current accuracy). Place decoupling capacitor on these traces next to the IC.
5. Place output capacitor next to the sensing resistor output and ground.
6. Output capacitor ground connections need to be tied to the same copper that connects to the input capacitor
ground before connecting to system ground.
7. Route analog ground separately from power ground and use single ground connection to tie charger power
ground to charger analog ground. Just beneath the IC use analog ground copper pour but avoid power pins
to reduce inductive and capacitive noise coupling. Connect analog ground to GND. Connect analog ground
and power ground together using PowerPAD as the single ground connection point. Or using a 0Ω resistor to
tie analog ground to power ground (PowerPAD should tie to analog ground in this case). A star-connection

under PowerPAD is highly recommended.
8. It is critical that the exposed PowerPAD on the backside of the IC package be soldered to the PCB ground.
Ensure that there are sufficient thermal vias directly under the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the
other layers.
9. Decoupling capacitors should be placed next to the IC pins and make trace connection as short as possible.
10. All via size and number should be enough for a given current path.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
