19-2764; Rev 2; 7/04 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers The MAX1908/MAX8724 highly integrated, multichemistry battery-charger control ICs simplify the construction of accurate and efficient chargers. These devices use analog inputs to control charge current and voltage, and can be programmed by the host or hardwired. The MAX1908/ MAX8724 achieve high efficiency using a buck topology with synchronous rectification. The MAX1908/MAX8724 feature input current limiting. This feature reduces battery charge current when the input current limit is reached to avoid overloading the AC adapter when supplying the load and the battery charger simultaneously. The MAX1908/MAX8724 provide outputs to monitor current drawn from the AC adapter (DC input source), battery-charging current, and the presence of an AC adapter. The MAX1908’s conditioning charge feature provides 300mA to safely charge deeply discharged lithium-ion (Li+) battery packs. The MAX1908 includes a conditioning charge feature while the MAX8724 does not. The MAX1908/MAX8724 charge two to four series Li+ cells, providing more than 5A, and are available in a space-saving 28-pin thin QFN package (5mm × 5mm). An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.

A high-efficiency synchronous-rectified step-down DC-DC converter controls charging voltage and current. The device also includes input source current limiting and analog inputs for setting the charge current and charge voltage. Control charge current and voltage using the ICTL and VCTL inputs, respectively. Both ICTL and VCTL are ratiometric with respect to REFIN, allowing compatibility with D/As or microcontrollers (µCs). Ratiometric ICTL and VCTL improve the accuracy of the charge current and voltage set point by matching VREFIN to the reference of the host. For standard applications, internal set points for ICTL and VCTL provide 3A charge current (with 0.015Ω sense resistor), and 4.2V (per cell) charge voltage. Connect ICTL and VCTL to LDO to select the internal set points. The MAX1908 safely conditions overdischarged cells with 300mA (with 0.015Ω sense resistor) until the battery-pack voltage exceeds 3.1V × number of seriesconnected cells. The SHDN input allows shutdown from a microcontroller or thermistor. The DC-DC converter uses external N-channel MOSFETs as the buck switch and synchronous rectifier to convert the input voltage to the required charging current and voltage. The Typical Application Circuit shown in Figure 1 uses a µC to control charging current, while Figure 2 shows a typical application with charging voltage and current fixed to specific values for the application. The voltage at ICTL and the value of RS2 set the charging current. The DC-DC converter generates the control signals for the external MOSFETs to regulate the voltage and the current set by the VCTL, ICTL, and CELLS inputs. The MAX1908/MAX8724 feature a voltage-regulation loop (CCV) and two current-regulation loops (CCI and CCS). The CCV voltage-regulation loop monitors BATT to ensure that its voltage does not exceed the voltage set by VCTL. The CCI battery current-regulation loop monitors current delivered to BATT to ensure that it does not exceed the current limit set by ICTL. A third loop (CCS) takes control and reduces the batterycharging current when the sum of the system load and the battery-charging input current exceeds the input current limit set by CLS. 12 Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage The MAX1908/MAX8724 use a high-accuracy voltage regulator for charging voltage. The VCTL input adjusts the charger output voltage. VCTL control voltage can vary from 0 to V REFIN, providing a 10% adjustment range on the VBATT regulation voltage. By limiting the adjust range to 10% of the regulation voltage, the external resistor mismatch error is reduced from 1% to 0.05% of the regulation voltage. Therefore, an overall voltage accuracy of better than 0.7% is maintained while using 1% resistors. The per-cell battery termination voltage is a function of the battery chemistry. Consult the battery manufacturer to determine this voltage. Connect VCTL to LDO to select the internal default setting VBATT = 4.2V × number of cells, or program the battery voltage with the following equation: V VBATT = CELLS × 4 V + 0.4 × VCTL VREFIN CELLS is the programming input for selecting cell count. Connect CELLS as shown in Table 1 to charge 2, 3, or 4 Li+ cells. When charging other cell chemistries, use CELLS to select an output voltage range for the charger. The internal error amplifier (GMV) maintains voltage regulation (Figure 3). The voltage error amplifier is compensated at CCV. The component values shown in Figures 1 and 2 provide suitable performance for most applications. Individual compensation of the voltage regulation and current-regulation loops allows for optimal compensation (see the Compensation section). Table 1.

Functional Diagram ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX1908/MAX8724 Functional Diagram MAX1908/MAX8724 Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers Setting the Charging-Current Limit The ICTL input sets the maximum charging current. The current is set by current-sense resistor RS2, connected between CSIP and CSIN. The full-scale differential voltage between CSIP and CSIN is 75mV; thus, for a 0.015Ω sense resistor, the maximum charging current is 5A. Battery-charging current is programmed with ICTL using the equation: ICHG = VICTL 0.075 × VREFIN RS2 The input voltage range for ICTL is V REFIN / 32 to VREFIN. The device shuts down if ICTL is forced below VREFIN / 100 (min). Connect ICTL to LDO to select the internal default fullscale charge-current sense voltage of 45mV. The charge current when ICTL = LDO is: ICHG = 0.045V RS2 where RS2 is 0.015Ω, providing a charge-current set point of 3A. The current at the ICHG output is a scaled-down replica of the battery output current being sensed across CSIP and CSIN (see the Current Measurement section). When choosing the current-sense resistor, note that the voltage drop across this resistor causes further power loss, reducing efficiency. However, adjusting ICTL to reduce the voltage across the current-sense resistor can degrade accuracy due to the smaller signal to the input of the current-sense amplifier. The charging current-error amplifier (GMI) is compensated at CCI (see the Compensation section). Setting the Input Current Limit The total input current (from an AC adapter or other DC source) is a function of the system supply current and the battery-charging current. The input current regulator limits the input current by reducing the charging current when the input current exceeds the input current-limit set point. System current normally fluctuates as portions of the system are powered up or down. Without input current regulation, the source must be able to supply the maximum system current and the maximum charger input current simultaneously. By using the input current limiter, the current capability of the AC adapter can be lowered, reducing system cost. The MAX1908/MAX8724 limit the battery charge current when the input current-limit threshold is exceeded, ensuring the battery charger does not load down the 16 AC adapter voltage. An internal amplifier compares the voltage between CSSP and CSSN to the voltage at CLS. VCLS can be set by a resistive divider between REF and GND. Connect CLS to REF for the full-scale input current limit. The input current is the sum of the device current, the charger input current, and the load current. The device current is minimal (3.8mA) in comparison to the charge and load currents. Determine the actual input current required as follows: I × VBATT IINPUT = ILOAD + CHG VIN × η where η is the efficiency of the DC-DC converter. V CLS determines the reference voltage of the GMS error amplifier. Sense resistor RS1 and VCLS determine the maximum allowable input current. Calculate the input current limit as follows: V 0.075 IINPUT = CLS × VREF RS1 Once the input current limit is reached, the charging current is reduced until the input current is at the desired threshold. When choosing the current-sense resistor, note that the voltage drop across this resistor causes further power loss, reducing efficiency. Choose the smallest value for RS1 that achieves the accuracy requirement for the input current-limit set point. Conditioning Charge The MAX1908 includes a battery voltage comparator that allows a conditioning charge of overdischarged Li+ battery packs. If the battery-pack voltage is less than 3.1V × number of cells programmed by CELLS, the MAX1908 charges the battery with 300mA current when using sense resistor RS2 = 0.015Ω. After the battery voltage exceeds the conditioning charge threshold, the MAX1908 resumes full-charge mode, charging to the programmed voltage and current limits. The MAX8724 does not offer this feature. AC Adapter Detection Connect the AC adapter voltage through a resistive divider to ACIN to detect when AC power is available, as shown in Figure 1. ACIN voltage rising trip point is VREF / 2 with 20mV hysteresis. ACOK is an open-drain output and is high impedance when ACIN is less than VREF / 2. Since ACOK can withstand 30V (max), ACOK can drive a P-channel MOSFET directly at the charger input, providing a lower dropout voltage than a Schottky diode (Figure 2). ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers LDO Regulator LDO provides a 5.4V supply derived from DCIN and can deliver up to 10mA of load current. The MOSFET drivers are powered by DLOV and BST, which must be connected to LDO as shown in Figure 1. LDO supplies the 4.096V reference (REF) and most of the control circuitry. Bypass LDO with a 1µF capacitor to GND. Shutdown The MAX1908/MAX8724 feature a low-power shutdown mode. Driving SHDN low shuts down the MAX1908/ MAX8724. In shutdown, the DC-DC converter is disabled and CCI, CCS, and CCV are pulled to ground. The IINP and ACOK outputs continue to function. SHDN can be driven by a thermistor to allow automatic shutdown of the MAX1908/MAX8724 when the battery pack is hot. The shutdown falling threshold is 23.5% (typ) of VREFIN with 1% VREFIN hysteresis to provide smooth shutdown when driven by a thermistor. DC-DC Converter The MAX1908/MAX8724 employ a buck regulator with a bootstrapped NMOS high-side switch and a low-side NMOS synchronous rectifier. CCV, CCI, CCS, and LVC Control Blocks The MAX1908/MAX8724 control input current (CCS control loop), charge current (CCI control loop), or charge voltage (CCV control loop), depending on the operating condition. The three control loops, CCV, CCI, and CCS are brought together internally at the LVC amplifier (lowest voltage clamp). The output of the LVC amplifier is the feedback control signal for the DC-DC controller. The output of the GM amplifier that is the lowest sets the output of the LVC amplifier and also clamps the other two control loops to within 0.3V above the control point. Clamping the other two control loops close to the lowest control loop ensures fast transition with minimal overshoot when switching between different control loops. DC-DC Controller The MAX1908/MAX8724 feature a variable off-time, cycleby-cycle current-mode control scheme. Depending upon the conditions, the MAX1908/MAX8724 work in continuous or discontinuous-conduction mode. Continuous-Conduction Mode With sufficient charger loading, the MAX1908/MAX8724 operate in continuous-conduction mode (inductor current never reaches zero) switching at 400kHz if the BATT voltage is within the following range: 3.1V x (number of cells) < VBATT < (0.88 x VDCIN ) The operation of the DC-DC controller is controlled by the following four comparators as shown in Figure 4: IMIN—Compares the control point (LVC) against 0.15V (typ). If IMIN output is low, then a new cycle cannot begin. CCMP—Compares the control point (LVC) against the charging current (CSI). The high-side MOSFET on-time is terminated if the CCMP output is high. IMAX—Compares the charging current (CSI) to 6A (RS2 = 0.015Ω). The high-side MOSFET on-time is terminated if the IMAX output is high and a new cycle cannot begin until IMAX goes low. ZCMP—Compares the charging current (CSI) to 33mA (RS2 = 0.015Ω). If ZCMP output is high, then both MOSFETs are turned off. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1908/MAX8724 Current Measurement Use ICHG to monitor the battery charging current being sensed across CSIP and CSIN. The ICHG voltage is proportional to the output current by the equation: VICHG = ICHG x RS2 x GICHG x R9 where ICHG is the battery charging current, GICHG is the transconductance of ICHG (3µA/mV typ), and R9 is the resistor connected between ICHG and ground. Leave ICHG unconnected if not used. Use IINP to monitor the system input current being sensed across CSSP and CSSN. The voltage of IINP is proportional to the input current by the equation: VIINP = IINPUT x RS2 x GIINP x R10 where IINPUT is the DC current being supplied by the AC adapter power, GIINP is the transconductance of IINP (3µA/mV typ), and R10 is the resistor connected between IINP and ground. ICHG and IINP have a 0 to 3.5V output voltage range. Leave IINP unconnected if not used.

DC-DC Functional Diagram 18 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers V − VBATT t OFF = 2.5µs × DCIN VDCIN t ON = L × IRIPPLE VCSSN − VBATT where: V ×t IRIPPLE = BATT OFF L f= 1 t ON + t OFF These equations result in fixed-frequency operation over the most common operating conditions. At the end of the fixed off-time, another cycle begins if the control point (LVC) is greater than 0.15V, IMIN = high, and the peak charge current is less than 6A (RS2 = 0.015Ω), IMAX = high. If the charge current exceeds IMAX, the on-time is terminated by the IMAX comparator. IMAX governs the maximum cycle-by-cycle current limit and is internally set to 6A (RS2 = 0.015Ω). IMAX protects against sudden overcurrent faults. If during the off-time the inductor current goes to zero, ZCMP = high, both the high- and low-side MOSFETs are turned off until another cycle is ready to begin. There is a minimum 0.3µs off-time when the (VDCIN VBATT) differential becomes too small. If VBATT ≥ 0.88 × V DCIN , then the threshold for minimum off-time is reached and the tOFF is fixed at 0.3µs. A maximum ontime of 5ms allows the controller to achieve >99% duty cycle in continuous-conduction mode. The switching frequency in this mode varies according to the equation: 1 f= L × IRIPPLE + 0.3µs (VCSSN − VBATT ) Discontinuous Conduction The MAX1908/MAX8724 enter discontinuous-conduction mode when the output of the LVC control point falls below 0.15V. For RS2 = 0.015Ω, this corresponds to 0.5A: IMIN = 0.15V = 0.5A for RS2 = 0.015Ω 20 × RS2 In discontinuous mode, a new cycle is not started until the LVC voltage rises above 0.15V. Discontinuousmode operation can occur during conditioning charge of overdischarged battery packs, when the charge current has been reduced sufficiently by the CCS control loop, or when the battery pack is near full charge (constant voltage charging mode). MOSFET Drivers The low-side driver output DLO switches between PGND and DLOV. DLOV is usually connected through a filter to LDO. The high-side driver output DHI is bootstrapped off LX and switches between VLX and VBST. When the low-side driver turns on, BST rises to one diode voltage below DLOV. Filter DLOV with a lowpass filter whose cutoff frequency is approximately 5kHz (Figure 1): fC = 1 1 = = 4.8kHz 2πRC 2π × 33Ω × 1µF Dropout Operation The MAX1908/MAX8724 have 99% duty-cycle capability with a 5ms (max) on-time and 0.3µs (min) off-time. This allows the charger to achieve dropout performance limited only by resistive losses in the DC-DC converter components (D1, N1, RS1, and RS2, Figure 1). Replacing diode D1 with a P-channel MOSFET driven by ACOK improves dropout performance (Figure 2). The dropout voltage is set by the difference between DCIN and CSIN. When the dropout voltage falls below 100mV, the charger is disabled; 200mV hysteresis ensures that the charger does not turn back on until the dropout voltage rises to 300mV. Compensation Each of the three regulation loops—input current limit, charging current limit, and charging voltage limit—are compensated separately using CCS, CCI, and CCV, respectively. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX1908/MAX8724 In normal operation, the controller starts a new cycle by turning on the high-side N-channel MOSFET and turning off the low-side N-channel MOSFET. When the charge current is greater than the control point (LVC), CCMP goes high and the off-time is started. The off-time turns off the high-side N-channel MOSFET and turns on the low-side N-channel MOSFET. The operational frequency is governed by the off-time and is dependent upon VDCIN and VBATT. The off-time is set by the following equations: MAX1908/MAX8724 Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers where RL varies with load according to RL = VBATT / ICHG.

The following sections describe how to select these components. Inductor Selection Inductor L1 provides power to the battery while it is being charged. It must have a saturation current of at least the charge current (ICHG), plus 1/2 the current ripple IRIPPLE: ISAT = ICHG + (1/2) IRIPPLE Ripple current varies according to the equation: IRIPPLE = (VBATT) × tOFF / L RIPPLE CURRENT vs. VBATT 1.5 3 CELLS RIPPLE CURRENT (A) MAX1908/MAX8724 Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers 4 CELLS 1.0 0.5 VDCIN = 19V VCTL = ICTL = LDO 0 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 VBATT (V) Figure 11. MAX1908 Ripple Current vs. Battery Voltage 24 VBATT > 0.88 × VDCIN Figure 11 illustrates the variation of ripple current vs. battery voltage when charging at 3A with a fixed input voltage of 19V. Higher inductor values decrease the ripple current. Smaller inductor values require higher saturation current capabilities and degrade efficiency. Designs for ripple current, IRIPPLE = 0.3 × ICHG usually result in a good balance between inductor size and efficiency. Input Capacitor Input capacitor C1 must be able to handle the input ripple current. At high charging currents, the DC-DC converter operates in continuous conduction. In this case, the ripple current of the input capacitor can be approximated by the following equation: IC1 = ICHG D − D2 where: IC1 = input capacitor ripple current. D = DC-DC converter duty ratio. ICHG = battery-charging current. Input capacitor C1 must be sized to handle the maximum ripple current that occurs during continuous conduction. The maximum input ripple current occurs at 50% duty cycle; thus, the worst-case input ripple current is 0.5 × ICHG. If the input-to-output voltage ratio is such that the DC-DC converter does not operate at a 50% duty cycle, then the worst-case capacitor current occurs where the duty cycle is nearest 50%. The input capacitor ESR times the input ripple current sets the ripple voltage at the input, and should not exceed 0.5V ripple. Choose the ESR of C1 according to: ESRC1 < 0.5V IC1 The input capacitor size should allow minimal output voltage sag at the highest switching frequency: IC1 dV = C1 2 dt ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers I 2.5µs C1 > C1 × 2 0.5V Both tantalum and ceramic capacitors are suitable in most applications. For equivalent size and voltage rating, tantalum capacitors have higher capacitance, but also higher ESR than ceramic capacitors. This makes it more critical to consider ripple current and power-dissipation ratings when using tantalum capacitors. A single ceramic capacitor often can replace two tantalum capacitors in parallel. Output Capacitor The output capacitor absorbs the inductor ripple current. The output capacitor impedance must be significantly less than that of the battery to ensure that it absorbs the ripple current. Both the capacitance and ESR rating of the capacitor are important for its effectiveness as a filter and to ensure stability of the DC-DC converter (see the Compensation section). Either tantalum or ceramic capacitors can be used for the output filter capacitor. MOSFETs and Diodes Schottky diode D1 provides power to the load when the AC adapter is inserted. This diode must be able to deliver the maximum current as set by RS1. For reduced power dissipation and improved dropout performance, replace D1 with a P-channel MOSFET (P1) as shown in Figure 2. Take caution not to exceed the maximum VGS of P1. Choose resistors R11 and R12 to limit the VGS. The N-channel MOSFETs (N1a, N1b) are the switching devices for the buck controller. High-side switch N1a should have a current rating of at least the maximum charge current plus one-half the ripple current and have an on-resistance (RDS(ON)) that meets the power dissipation requirements of the MOSFET. The driver for N1a is powered by BST. The gate-drive requirement for N1a should be less than 10mA. Select a MOSFET with a low total gate charge (Q GATE ) and determine the required drive current by IGATE = QGATE × f (where f is the DC-DC converter’s maximum switching frequency). The low-side switch (N1b) has the same current rating and power dissipation requirements as N1a, and should have a total gate charge less than 10nC. N2 is used to provide the starting charge to the BST capacitor (C15). During the dead time (50ns, typ) between N1a and N1b, the current is carried by the body diode of the MOSFET. Choose N1b with either an internal Schottky diode or body diode capable of carrying the maximum charging current during the dead time. The Schottky diode D3 provides the supply current to the high-side MOSFET driver. Layout and Bypassing Bypass DCIN with a 1µF capacitor to power ground (Figure 1). D2 protects the MAX1908/MAX8724 when the DC power source input is reversed. A signal diode for D2 is adequate because DCIN only powers the MAX1908 internal circuitry. Bypass LDO, REF, CCV, CCI, CCS, ICHG, and IINP to analog ground. Bypass DLOV to power ground. Good PC board layout is required to achieve specified noise, efficiency, and stable performance. The PC board layout artist must be given explicit instructions— preferably, a pencil sketch showing the placement of the power-switching components and high-current routing. Refer to the PC board layout in the MAX1908 evaluation kit for examples. Separate analog and power grounds are essential for optimum performance. Use the following step-by-step guide: 1) Place the high-power connections first, with their grounds adjacent: a) Minimize the current-sense resistor trace lengths, and ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin connections. b) Minimize ground trace lengths in the high-current paths. c) Minimize other trace lengths in the high-current paths. d) Use > 5mm wide traces. e) Connect C1 to high-side MOSFET (10mm max length). f) LX node (MOSFETs, inductor (15mm max length)). Ideally, surface-mount power components are flush against one another with their ground terminals almost touching. These high-current grounds are then connected to each other with a wide, filled zone of top-layer copper, so they do not go through vias. The resulting top-layer power ground plane is connected to the normal ground plane at the MAX1908/MAX8724s’ backside exposed pad. Other high-current paths should also be minimized, but focusing primarily on short ground and currentsense connections eliminates most PC board layout problems. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 25 MAX1908/MAX8724 where dV is the maximum voltage sag of 0.5V while delivering energy to the inductor during the high-side MOSFET on-time, and dt is the period at highest operating frequency (400kHz): MAX1908/MAX8724 Low-Cost Multichemistry Battery Chargers 2) Place the IC and signal components. Keep the main switching node (LX node) away from sensitive analog components (current-sense traces and REF capacitor). Important: The IC must be no further than 10mm from the current-sense resistors. Keep the gate-drive traces (DHI, DLO, and BST) shorter than 20mm, and route them away from the current-sense lines and REF. Place ceramic bypass capacitors close to the IC. The bulk capacitors can be placed further away. 3) Use a single-point star ground placed directly below the part at the backside exposed pad of the MAX1908/MAX8724. Connect the power ground and normal ground to this node. Table 2.
