UTC UB6054A is a complete, constant current and constant
voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries. Its small
size and ability to regulate low charge currents make UTC UB6054A
especially well-suited for portable applications using low capacity
rechargeable lithium-ion coin cells. Furthermore, UTC UB6054A is
specifically designed to work within USB power specifications.
No external sense resistor is needed, and no blocking diode is
required due to the internal MOSFET architecture. The charge
voltage is fixed at 4.2V, and the charge current can be programmed
externally with a single resistor. UTC UB6054A automatically
terminates a charge cycle when the charge current drops to 1/10th
the programmed value after the final float voltage is reached.

UB6054A

Preliminary
CMOS IC
OPERATION
The UTC UB6054A is a single cell lithium-ion battery charger using a constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm.
It can deliver up to 500mA of charge current (using a good thermal PCB layout) with a final float voltage accuracy of
±1.2%. The UTC UB6054A includes an internal P-channel power MOSFET and thermal regulation circuitry. No
blocking diode or external current sense resistor is required; thus, the basic charger circuit requires only two external
components. Furthermore, the UTC UB6054A is capable of operating from a USB power source.
1. Normal Charge Cycle
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin rises above the UVLO threshold level and a 1% program
resistor is connected from the PROG pin to ground or when a battery is connected to the charger output. If the BAT
pin is less than 2.9V, the charger enters trickle charge mode. In this mode, the UTC UB6054A supplies
approximately 1/10 the programmed charge current to bring the battery voltage up to a safe level for full current
charging. When the BAT pin voltage rises above 2.9V, the charger enters constant-current mode, where the
programmed charge current is supplied to the battery. When the BAT pin approaches the final float voltage (4.2V),
the UTC UB6054A enters constant-voltage mode and the charge current begins to decrease. The charge cycle ends
when the charge current drops to 1/10 of the programmed value.
2. Programming Charge Current
The charge current is programmed using a single resistor from the PROG pin to ground. The battery charge
current is 1100 times the current out of the PROG pin. The program resistor and the charge current are calculated
using the following equations:
R PROG 
1000V
1000 V
, ICHG 
ICHG
R PROG
The charge current out of the BAT pin can be determined at any time by monitoring the PROG pin voltage using the
following equation:
IBAT 
VPROG
 1000
R PROG
This actual current will vary from IC to IC. The typical variation is within ±20%.
3. Charge Termination
A charge cycle is terminated when the charge current falls to 1/10th the programmed value after the final float
voltage is reached. This condition is detected by using an internal, filtered comparator to monitor the PROG pin.
When the PROG pin voltage falls below 100mV for longer than tTERM (typically 1ms), charging is terminated. The
charge current is latched off and the UTC UB6054A enters standby mode, where the input supply current drops to
200mA. (Note: C/10 termination is disabled in trickle charging and thermal limiting modes).
When charging, transient loads on the BAT pin can cause the PROG pin to fall below 100mV for short periods of
time before the DC charge current has dropped to 1/10th the programmed value. The 1ms filter time (tTERM) on the
termination comparator ensures that transient loads of this nature do not result in premature charge cycle
termination. Once the average charge current drops below 1/10th the programmed value, the UTC UB6054A
terminates the charge cycle and ceases to provide any current through the BAT pin. In this state, all loads on the
BAT pin must be supplied by the battery. The UTC UB6054A constantly monitors the BAT pin voltage in standby
mode. If this voltage drops below the 4.1V recharge threshold (VRECHRG), another charge cycle begins and current is
once again supplied to the battery. To manually restart a charge cycle in standby mode, the input voltage must be
removed and reapplied, or the charger must be shut down and restarted using the PROG pin.

OPERATION(Cont.)
4. Charge Status Indicator (CHRG)
The charge status output has three different states: strong pull-down (~10mA), weak pull-down (~20μA) and high
impedance. The strong pull-down state indicates that the UTC UB6054A is in a charge cycle. Once the charge cycle
has terminated, the pin state is determined by undervoltage lockout conditions. A weak pull-down indicates that VCC
meets the UVLO conditions and the UTC UB6054A is ready to charge. High impedance indicates that the UTC
UB6054A is in undervoltage lockout mode: either VCC is less than 100mV above the BAT pin voltage or insufficient
voltage is applied to the VCC pin.
5. Thermal Limiting
An internal thermal feedback loop reduces the programmed charge current if the die temperature attempts to rise
above a preset value of approximately 120°С. This feature protects the UTC UB6054A from excessive temperature
and allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability of a given circuit board without risk of
damaging the UTC UB6054A. The charge current can be set according to typical (not worst-case) ambient
temperature with the assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case conditions.
6. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode until
VCC rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold. The UVLO circuit has a built-in hysteresis of 120mV.
Furthermore, to protect against reverse current in the power MOSFET, the UVLO circuit keeps the charger in
shutdown mode if VCC falls to within 30mV of the battery voltage. If the UVLO comparator is tripped, the charger will
not come out of shutdown mode until VCC rise 100mV above the battery voltage.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Stability Considerations
The constant-voltage mode feedback loop is stable without an output capacitor provided a battery is connected to
the charger output. With no battery present, an output capacitor is recommended to reduce ripple voltage. When
using high value, low ESR ceramic capacitors, it is recommended to add a 1W resistor in series with the capacitor.
No series resistor is needed if tantalum capacitors are used. In constant-current mode, the PROG pin is in the
feedback loop, not the battery. The constant-current mode stability is affected by the impedance at the PROG pin.
With no additional capacitance on the PROG pin, the charger is stable with program resistor values as high as 20kΩ.
However, additional capacitance on this node reduces the maximum allowed program resistor thus it should be
avoided. Average, rather than instantaneous, charge current may be of interest to the user. For example, if a
switching power supply operating in low current mode is connected in parallel with the battery, the average current
being pulled out of the BAT pin is typically of more interest than the instantaneous current pulses. In such a case, a
simple RC filter can be used on the PROG pin to measure the average battery current as shown in Figure 1. A 10kΩ
resistor has been added between the PROG pin and the filter capacitor to ensure stability.

Thermal Limiting
An internal thermal feedback loop reduces the programmed charge current if the die temperature attempts to rise
above a preset value of approximately 120°C. This feature protects the UTC UB6054A from excessive temperature
and allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability of a given circuit board without risk of
damaging the UTC UB6054A. The charge current can be set according to typical (not worst-case) ambient
temperature with the assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case conditions.
The conditions that cause the UTC UB6054A to reduce charge current through thermal feedback can be
approximated by considering the power dissipated in the IC. Nearly all of this power dissipation is generated by the
internal MOSFET. This is calculated to be approximately:
PD  VCC  VBAT   IBAT
Where PD is the power dissipated, VCC is the input supply voltage, VBAT is the battery voltage and IBAT is the
charge current. The approximate ambient temperature at which the thermal feedback begins to protect the IC is:
TA  120  C  PD   JA
TA  120  C  VCC  VBAT   IBAT   JA
Moreover, when thermal feedback reduces the charge current, the voltage at the PROG pin is also reduced
proportionally as discussed in the Operation section. It is important to remember that UTC UB6054A applications do
not need to be designed for worst-case thermal conditions since the IC will automatically reduce power dissipation
when the junction temperature reaches approximately 120°C.

Thermal Considerations
Because of the small size of the ThinSOT package, it is very important to use a good thermal PC board layout to
maximize the available charge current. The thermal path for the heat generated by the IC is from the die to the
copper lead frame, through the package leads, (especially the ground lead) to the PC board copper. The PC board
copper is the heat sink. The footprint copper pads should be as wide as possible and expand out to larger copper
areas to spread and dissipate the heat to the surrounding ambient. Feed-through vias to inner or backside copper
layers are also useful in improving the overall thermal performance of the charger. Other heat sources on the board,
not related to the charger, must also be considered when designing a PC board layout because they will affect
overall temperature rise and the maximum charge current. The following table lists thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with the device
mounted on topside.

Increasing Thermal Regulation Current
Reducing the voltage drop across the internal MOSFET can significantly decrease the power dissipation in the IC.
This has the effect of increasing the current delivered to the battery during thermal regulation. One method is by
dissipating some of the power through an external component, such as a resistor or diode. While this application
delivers more energy to the battery and reduces charge time in thermal mode, it may actually lengthen charge time
in voltage mode if VCC becomes low enough to put the UTC UB6054A into dropout. Figure 2 shows how this circuit
can result in dropout as RCC becomes large. This technique works best when RCC values are minimized to keep
component size small and avoid dropout. Remember to choose a resistor with adequate power handling capability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION(Cont.)
VCC Bypass Capacitor
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing. However, caution must be exercised when using
multilayer ceramic capacitors. Because of the self-resonant and high Q characteristics of some types of ceramic
capacitors, high voltage transients can be generated under some start-up conditions, such as connecting the charger
input to a live power source. Adding a 1 W resistor in series with an X5R ceramic capacitor will minimize start-up
voltage transients.
Charge Current Soft-Start
The UTC UB6054 includes a soft-start circuit to minimize the inrush current at the start of a charge cycle. When a
charge cycle is initiated, the charge current ramps from zero to the full-scale current over a period of approximately
50ms. This has the effect of minimizing the transient current load on the power supply during start-up.
CHRG Status Output Pin
The CHRG pin can provide an indication that the input voltage is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold
level. A weak pull-down current of approximately 20mA indicates that sufficient voltage is applied to VCC to begin
charging. When a discharged battery is connected to the charger, the constant current portion of the charge cycle
begins and the CHRG pin pulls to ground. The CHRG pin can sink up to 10mA to drive an LED that indicates that a
charge cycle is in progress. When the battery is nearing full charge, the charger enters the constant-voltage portion
of the charge cycle and the charge current begins to drop. When the charge current drops below 1/10 of the
programmed current, the charge cycle ends and the strong pull-down is replaced by the 20mA pull-down, indicating
that the charge cycle has ended. If the input voltage is removed or drops below the undervoltage lockout threshold,
the CHRG pin becomes high impedance. Figure 3 shows that by using two different value pull-up resistors, a
microprocessor can detect all three states from this pin. To detect when the UTC UB6054A is in charge mode, force
the digital output pin (OUT) high and measure the voltage at the CHRG pin. The N-channel MOSFET will pull the pin
voltage low even with the 2kΩ pull-up resistor. Once the charge cycle terminates, the N-channel MOSFET is turned
off and a 20mA current source is connected to the CHRG pin. The IN pin will then be pulled high by the 2kΩ pull-up
resistor. To determine if there is a weak pull-down current, the OUT pin should be forced to a high impedance state.
The weak current source will pull the IN pin low through the 800kΩ resistor; if CHRG is high impedance, the IN pin
will be pulled high, indicating that the part is in a UVLO state.

Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection
In some applications, protection from reverse polarity voltage on VCC is desired. If the supply voltage is high
enough, a series blocking diode can be used. In other cases, where the voltage drop must be kept low a Pchannel
MOSFET can be used.
Fig4. Low Loss Input Reverse Polarity Protection
USB and Wall Adapter Power
The UTC UB6054 allows charging from both a wall adapter and a USB port. Figure 5 shows an example of how to
combine wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel MOSFET, MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into
the USB port when a wall adapter is present and a Schottky diode, D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through
the 1kΩ pull-down resistor. Typically a wall adapter can supply more current than the 500mA-limited USB port.
Therefore, an N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra 10kΩ program resistor are used to increase the charge
current to 600mA when the wall adapter is present.
