Operation
The RT9480 is a high integrated IC for Li-Ion battery power
bank. It includes a linear charger 1.2A, a synchronous
Boost 5.1V, two output load management, LED indicator
and torch function.
Change Current
Base on thermal regulation function, the charging current
can support up to 1.2A.
VBUS OVP
If the input voltage (VBUS) is higher than the threshold
voltage VOVP, the internal OVP signal will go high and the
charger will stop charging until VIN is below VOVP − ΔVOVP.
The converter has an over-temperature protection. When
the junction temperature is higher than the thermal
shutdown rising threshold, the system will be latched and
the output voltage will no longer be regulated until the
junction temperature drops under the falling threshold.
Output Short Protection
When output short to ground, the system will be latched
and the output voltage will no longer be regulated until
power reset.
CC/CV/TR Multi Loop Controller
There are constant current loop, constant voltage loop and
thermal regulation loop to control the charging current.
VMID OVP
If the internal voltage (VMID) is higher than the threshold
voltage VOVP, the internal OVP signal will go high and the
charger will stop charging until VMID is below
VOVP −ΔVOVP.
OCP
The converter senses the current signal when the highside P-MOSFET turns on. As a result, The OCP is cycle
by-cycle current limitation. If the OCP occurs, the converter
holds off the next on pulse until inductor current drops
below the OCP limit.

Too Hot or Too Cold
The temperature sense input TS pin can be connected a
thermistor to determine whether the battery is too hot or
too cold for charging operation. If the battery's temperature
is out of range, charging is paused until it re-enters the
valid range.

Application Information
The RT9480 is a high integrated IC for Li-Ion battery power
bank. This chip includes a linear charger, a synchronous
Boost, two output load management, LED indicator and
torch function.
Pre-Charge Mode
battery in order to maintain thermal regulation at around
105°C. This operation continues until the junction
temperature falls below the thermal regulation threshold
(105°C) by the hysteresis level. This feature prevents the
maximum power dissipation from exceeding typical design
conditions.
When the output voltage is lower than 2.3V, the charging
current will be reduced to a fast-charge current ratio to
protect the battery life time.
Time Fault
Fast-Charge Mode
When time fault happens, the charger cycle will be turned
off charging function.
When the output voltage is higher than 2.5V, the charging
current will be equal to the fast-charge current with 1.2A.
Constant-Voltage Mode
When the output voltage is near 4.2V or 4.35V, the charging
current will fall below the termination current.
Re-Charge Mode
When the chip is in charge termination mode, the charging
current will gradually go down to zero. However, once the
voltage of the battery drops to below 4.05V or 4.2V, then
the charging current will resume again.
Charge Termination
When the charge current is lower than the charge
termination current ratio (10%) for VBAT > 4.05V or 4.2V
and the time is larger than the deglitch time (25ms), it will
be latched high unless the power is re-toggled.
The Fast-Charge Fault Time is set by 24hours.
Battery Pack Temperature Monitoring
The RT9480 features an external battery pack temperature
monitoring input. The TS input connects to the NTC
thermistor in the battery pack to monitor battery
temperature and prevent danger over temperature
conditions. If at any time the voltage at TS falls outside of
the operating range, charging will be suspended. The NTC
thermistor recommends using 10kΩ.
JEITA Function
For JEITA battery temperature standard :
CV regulation voltage will change at the following battery
Temp ranges 45°C to 60°C.
4.35V or 4.2V
4.2V or 4.05V
Input DPM Mode
If the input voltage is lower than VDPM (4.5V), the input
current limit will be reduced to stop the input voltage from
dropping any further. This can prevent the IC from damaging
improperly configured or inadequately designed USB
sources.
Temperature Regulation
In order to maximize charge rate, the RT9480 features a
junction temperature regulation loop. If the power
dissipation of the IC results in junction temperature greater
than the thermal regulation threshold (105°C), the RT9480
will cut back on the charge current and disconnect the

RT9480
Thermal Considerations
Layout Consideration
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
The PCB layout is an important step to maintain the high
performance of the RT9480.
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WQFN-24L 4x4 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
Both the high current and the fast switching nodes demand
full attention to the PCB layout to save the robustness of
the RT9480 through the PCB layout. Improper layout might
show the symptoms of poor line or load regulation, ground
and output voltage shifts, stability issues, unsatisfying
EMI behavior or worsened efficiency.For the best
performance of the RT9480, the following PCB layout
guidelines must be strictly followed.

Place the input and output capacitors as close as
possible to the input and output pins respectively for
good filtering.

Care should be taken for a proper thermal layout. Wide
traces, connecting with vias through the layers, provides
a proper thermal path to sink the heat energy created
from the device and inductor. Keep the main power traces
as wide and short as possible. Recommend as below :
28°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test
board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can
be calculated by the following formula :
VBUS trace > 40mil;
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Four-Layer PCB

The switching node area connected to LX and inductor
should be minimized for lower EMI.

Connect the GND pin, PGNDBST pin and Exposed Pad
together to a strong ground plane for maximum thermal
dissipation and noise protection.

Directly connect the output capacitors to the feedback
network of each channel to avoid bouncing caused by
parasitic resistance and inductance from the PCB trace.
