Introduction

Introduction
The bq25070 is a highly integrated LiFePO4 linear battery charger targeted at space-limited portable
applications. It operates from either a USB port or AC Adapter and charges a single-cell LiFePO4 battery
with up to 1 A of charge current. The 30 V maximum input voltage rating with 10.5 V input overvoltage
protections supports low-cost unregulated adapters.
The bq25070 has a single power output that charges the battery and powers the system. The charge
current is programmable up to 1 A using the CTRL input. Additionally, a 4.9 V ±10% 50 mA LDO is
integrated into the IC for supplying low power external circuitry.
The LiFePO4 charging algorithm removes the constant voltage mode control usually present in Li-Ion
battery charge cycles. Instead, the battery is fast-charged to the overcharge voltage and then allowed to
relax to a lower float charge voltage threshold. The removal of the constant voltage control reduces
charge time significantly. During the charge cycle, an internal control loop monitors the IC junction
temperature and reduces the charge current if an internal temperature threshold is exceeded. The charger
power stage and charge current sense functions are fully integrated. The charger function has high
accuracy current and voltage regulation loops, and charge status display.

Considerations With Evaluating the bq25070
Read the complete data sheet (SLUSA66) to fully understand detailed information that may be useful in
operating and evaluating this EVM.
This EVM can be used as a stand alone evaluation module using the hardware, on sheet 2 of the EVM
schematic, that generates the pulses to program the IC’s CTRL pin. Placing a single shunt on JP101
through JP113 programs the hardware to deliver pulses via JP3 to the CTRL pin on the IC. Toggling
switch S101 from the down position up then back down sends the programmed pulses to the IC via JP3, if
the input power is present. Potentiometer, R109, can be used to adjust the width of the pulse if it is out of
specification.
A 10k NTC thermistor is required for charging, connected between TS and GND on J2 or the “on-board”
10k resistor can be substituted by placing a shunt on JP1. Using both the external thermistor and internal
10k resistor may cause a hot temperature fault due to the low parallel resistance. No connection to the TS
pin will cause a cold temperature fault. During a temperature fault condition the OUT charge current is
disabled.
The EVM can interface with a micro-processor from your system that can be connected by removing the
JP3 shunt (disconnecting the EVM hardware producing the pulses) and applying the processor control
signal to JP3-1 (right pin) with the processor ground connected to the ground of the EVM. Note that when
JP3 is removed, the CTRL pin is pulled high by R6 and disables the IC. The micro-processor signal will
pull the CTRL pin low when not delivering the pulses, allowing proper operation.
The optional Battery Cell Replacement Circuit allows quick adjustment to the battery voltage. To check the
short circuit operation below 0.7V, the Cell P/S must be reduced to less than 1V. The programmed current
will have to be reduced so the OUT voltage can drop below 0.7V or the charge current will have to be
disabled and re-enabled.

Test Procedure
1. Make sure that the EVM is set up according to Table 1 and Figure 1, and the power supply is preset to
5.1 VDC at ~1250 mA current limit.
2. Turn on input supply and verify the power supply current meter is between 0.26 A and 0.31 A. Note
that this is a linear charger so the input current is approximately the output current minus any current
going to VLDO. The battery voltage, DMM#1, should have increased slightly (few mV) due to the IR
drop in the battery (IOUT times mΩ of the cell).
3. Verify that the IMON pin is between 270 mV and 310 mV, DMM#3. The IMON output current is 1/1000
of the OUT current and is converted to a voltage using a 1k IMON resistor (1 V/1 A).
4. Verify that the CHG LED is lit.
5. Program the charger for ~0.95 A by placing a shunt on JP-111 (11 pulses - only one shunt on the
JP1xx connectors at the bottom of the EVM) and toggling S100 From: Down TO: Up To: Down
position.
6. Verify the power supply input current is between 0.93 and 0.98A. If current does not change, verify that
the 11 pulses were generated and the pulse frequency is ~500 Hz, 50% duty cycle (see data sheet
specification for further details). R106 can be adjusted to vary frequency (pulse width). See Figure 2 for
example of transition. The figure was captured using a 4 quadrant supply (sinks and sources). See
optional battery cell replacement in Figure 3.
7. Verify that the IMON pin is between 930mV and 980 mV, DMM#3.
8. Verify that the VLDO output, DMM2, is between 4.4 V and 5.4 V.
9. Remove Shunt JP1 and verify that charging stops (input current reduces to near 3mA due to VLDO
load) and LED is flashing. This simulates a cold temperature fault.
10. Replace the JP1 shunt and verify the current returns to the default setting between 0.26 A and 0.31 A,
(270 - 310 mV on DMM#3).
11. Short between J2 TS and GND and verify a hot temperature fault with the LED flashing. Remove short
and verify that the current returns to the default setting between 0.26 A and 0.31 A.
12. Toggle S101 again to program the charge current to ~0.95A and let cell charge to completion. The
OUT should charge to 3.6 V then go into float mode where the regulation will be reduced to 3.5 VDC,
allowing the cell voltage to relax. This method of charging allows faster bulk charge.
NOTE: If the battery cell replacement circuit is used, the Cell voltage should be adjusted higher
slowly, via the Battery P/S, until the OUT voltage reaches ~3.6 V and the charge current
drops off. The OUT pin should relax some depending on the impedance of the diode in the
battery cell replacement circuitry. The Battery P/S voltage may have to be lowered slightly,
after output OV is reached, to get the OUT voltage to drop to the 3.5 V regulation

CTRL_Pulses
Figure 2. Pulse Programming – CH2: 11 pulses; CH1: VOUT IR change due to increased charge current.
Figure 3. Battery cell Replacement – Allows quick battery adjustment
The P/S input to the right sets the BAT+ to BAT– voltage one diode drop below V_P/S,
R1 and R2 typically sink more than the charge current allowing the BAT+ voltage to drop unless pulled up
by the P/S source thus allowing the P/S to set the battery voltage.
If a higher charge current is required, then a lower resistance is needed to adjust the battery voltage
lower.
