MIC79110 Simple 1.2A Linear Li-ion Battery Charger General Description The Micrel MIC79110 is a simple and accurate lithium-ion battery charger. The part features a built-in pass transistor, precision programmable current limiting (±5%), and precision voltage termination (±0.75% over temperature). The MIC79110 packs full functionality into a small space. Other features of the MIC79110 include two independent indicators: a digital end-of-charge signal that is programmable with a resistor-to-ground and an analog current output that is proportional to the output current, allowing for monitoring of the actual charging current. Additional features include very low dropout (550mV over the temperature range), thermal shutdown, and reverse polarity protection. In the event the input voltage to the charger is disconnected, the MIC79110 also provides minimal reverse-current and reversed-battery protection. Available in both fixed 4.2V and adjustable outputs, the MIC79110 is offered in the leadless 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN with an operating junction temperature range of –40˚C to +125˚C.

MIC79110 Application Information Detailed Description The MIC79110 forms a complete charger for 1-cell lithium-ion batteries. It includes precision voltage control (0.75% over temperature) to optimize both cell performance and cycle life. All are compatible with common 4.2V lithium-ion chemistries. Voltages other than 4.2V can be obtained with the adjustable version. Other features include current limit, end-of-charge flag, and end-of-charge current limit using an external resistor. The shutdown pin enables low quiescent current when not charging. Shutdown The SD pin serves as a logic input (active low) to enable the charger. Built-in hysteresis for the shutdown pin is 50mV over temperature. Reverse Polarity Protection In the event that VBAT > VIN and the shutdown pin is active low, there is reverse battery current protection built in. The current is limited to less than 10µA over temperature. Constant Output Voltage/Current Charging The MIC79110 features constant voltage and constant current output to correctly charge lithium-ion batteries. The constant voltage is either 4.2V or adjustable. The constant current is set by the RSET pin and is constant down to around 300mV. Since RSET can be set below 500mA, the minimum output current is set at 500mA for output voltages below 100mV. This minimum voltage starts the charging process in lithium-ion batteries. If the output current is too low, the battery will not begin charge. Current-Limit Mode MIC79110 features an internal current limit that is set by the RSET pin with a resistor-to-ground. The maximum current is calculated by Equation 1: IRSET = (0.2/RSET) × 1000 Eq. 1 Using a 167Ω RSET resistor will achieve the maximum current limit for the MIC79110 at 1.2 amperes. End-of-Charge REOC pin is connected to a resistor-to-ground. This resistor is used to set the end of charge current for the lithium-ion battery as in Equation 2: IEOC = (0.2/REOC) × 1000 Eq. 2 Using a 4kΩ REOC resistor will set the end-of-charge current at 50mA. IEOC should be set at 10% of the battery’s rated current. Digital End-of-Charge Output This pin is the output of an open drain. When tied high to the supply using a resistor, the output will toggle high or low depending on the output current of IBAT. • Low state indicates that the IBAT current is higher than the programmed current set by REOC. • High state indicates that the IBAT current is lower than the programmed current set by REOC. The output goes high impedance indicating end-of-charge. Figure 1. MIC79110 Constant Output Voltage Analog End-Of-Charge Output The ACHG pin provides a small current that is proportional to the charge current. The ratio is set at 1/1000th of the output current. September 23, 2013 11 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC79110 Lithium-ion Batteries Lithium-ion batteries are charged in two stages to reach full capacity. The first stage charges the battery with maximum charge current until 90% of the battery cell’s voltage limit is reached. The second stage tops off the charge with constant voltage charge as the charge current slowly decreases. End of charge is reached when the current is less than 3% of the rated current. A third stage will occasionally top off with charge with constant voltage charge if the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold. The specifications of these safety circuits are dictated by the cell manufacturer and may include the following: • Reverse polarity protection. • Charge temperature must not be charged when temperature is lower than 0°C or above 45°C. • Charge current must not be too high, typically below 0.7°C. • Discharge current protection to prevent damage due to short circuits. • Protection circuitry for over voltage applied to the battery terminals. • Overcharge protection circuitry to stop charge when the voltage per cell rises above 4.3V. • Over discharge protection circuitry to stop discharge when the battery voltage falls below 2.3V (varies with manufacturer). • Thermal shutdown protection for the battery if the ambient temperature is above 100°C. Auto Top-Off Charger Application Circuit Figure 2. Typical Two-Stage Lithium Charge Profile All lithium-ion batteries take approximately 3 hours to charge with the second stage taking twice as long as the first stage. Some chargers claim to be fast chargers by skipping the second stage and just charges the battery until the cell voltage is reached. This only charges the battery to 70% capacity. An increase in the charge current during stage 1 does not shorten the total charge time. It will only shorten the time for stage 1 to complete and lengthen the time in stage 2. Figure 3. Auto Top-Off Charger − Application Circuit The lithium-ion loses charge due to aging whether it is used or not. Do not store the batteries at full charge and high heat because it will accelerate the aging process. Try and store with 40% charge and in a cool environment. Lithium-ion batteries will begin to lose their charge over time. The MIC79110 can be configured to automatically recharge the battery when the voltage drops below the minimum battery voltage. This minimum voltage is set by a resistor divider at the battery and is connected to the SD pin. For instance, if VBAT is 4.2V and the battery voltage falls to 3.72V, SD pin gets divided down by R1 and R2 to 0.93V and starts the normal charging process. While charging the DEOC indictor is turned on, pulling the SD pin to GND, keeping the MIC79110 on. When the end of charge is reached, the DEOC pin opens. The divided down BAT voltage is now 1.05V at the SD pin, ending the charging process. Lithium-ion Safety Precautions Every lithium-ion battery pack should have a safety circuit which monitors the charge and discharge of the pack and prevents dangerous occurrences. September 23, 2013 12 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC79110 Figure 6. Top-Off Charger with Internal Reset − Application Circuit This circuit is similar to the auto top-off charger circuit mentioned above except that the DEOC pin is externally triggered to restart the charging cycle. It still uses the same resistor divider to set the minimum battery voltage before the lithium-ion needs to be recharged. Figure 4. Auto Top-Off Charger Application Figure 7. Auto-Shutdown using Shutdown Pin The shutdown pin on the MIC79110 can be used to automatically shutdown the battery charger when the input voltage rises above a safe operating voltage. To keep the part from heating up and entering thermal shutdown, we can connect the shutdown pin to VIN using a resistor divider. Use Equation 3 to setup the maximum VIN: VIN(MAX ) R1 = +1 VSD R2 Figure 5. Charging Description 1. SD not held low by active high DEOC because DEOC Comparator’s inputs do not common-mode to ground. Divider holds SD low so part can start. Eq. 3 The MIC79110 can be connected to a wall wart with a rectified DC voltage and protected from over voltages at the input. 2. SD held low by divider. 3. SD held low by active high DEOC. 4. Divider voltage above SD threshold and DEOC open. 5. Divider voltage drops below SD threshold and charging begins again.
