ACE4101
Max. 1.6A Li-ion Switching Charger IC
Description
The ACE4101 is a 1.6A Li‐Ion battery switching charger intended for 5V adapters. Low power
dissipation, an internal MOSFET and its compact package with minimum external components
requirement makes the ACE4101 ideal for portable applications. The ACE4101 includes complete charge
termination circuitry, automatic recharge and a ±1% 4.2V/4.35V float voltage.
External sense resistor and Reverse diode is not need. Build‐in thermal feedback mechanism regulates
the charge current to control the die temperature during high power operation or at elevated ambient
temperature.
Battery charge current, charge timeout and end-of‐charge indication parameters can program by
external components. Additional features include shorted cell detection and overvoltage protection.

Detailed Description
General description
The ACE4101 is a constant current, constant voltage Li‐Ion battery switching charger controller. The
charge current is set by an external sense resistor (RISET) across the ISET and GND pins. The final
battery float voltage is internally set to 4.2V/4.35V per cell. For batteries like lithium‐ion that require
accurate final float voltage, the internal reference, voltage amplifier and the resistor divider provide
regulation with ±1% accuracy.
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VCC pin rises above the UVLO level and is 250mV or
more greater than the battery voltage. At the beginning of the charge cycle, if the battery voltage is less
than the trickle charge threshold, 2.9V for the 4.2 version, the charger goes into trickle charge mode. The
trickle charge current is internally set to 10% of the full‐scale current. The charge current is
programmable by setting the value of a precision resistor connected from the ISET pin to ground. The
charge current is 1000 times of the current out of the ISET pin. The program resistor and the charge
current are calculated using the following equations:
The charge current out of the BAT pin can be determined at any time by monitoring the ISET pin voltage
using the following equation:

When the battery voltage approaches the programmed float voltage, the charge current will start to
decrease. It terminates the charge cycle when the charge current falls to 10% of the full‐scale value after
the final float voltage is reached. When the ISET pin voltage falls below 100mV for longer than tTERM
(typically 1ms), charging is terminated. The charge current is latched off and the ACE4101 enters standby
mode, where the input supply current drops to 200μA. (Note: C/10 termination is disabled in trickle
charging and thermal limiting modes).
Manual Shutdown
Floating the ISET pin by removing the resistor from ISET pin to ground can put the device in shutdown
mode. The battery drain current is thus reduced to less than 5μA and the supply current to less than 50μA.
Reconnecting the resistor back will restart a new charge cycle.
Once manually shutdown, the CHRG pin is in a weak pull‐down state if VIN is above UVLO voltage. The
CHRG pin is in a high impedance state if the ACE4101 is in under voltage lockout mode.
Automatic Recharge
After the termination of the charge cycle, the ACE4101 constantly monitors the BAT pin voltage and
starts a new charge cycle when the battery voltage falls below 4.05V, keeping the battery at fully charged
condition. CHRG output enters a strong pull‐down state during recharge cycles.
Inductor Selection
The peak‐to‐peak ripple is limited to 30% of the maximum output current. This places the peak current
far enough from the minimum over current trip level to ensure reliable operation while providing enough
current ripples for the current mode converter to operate stably. In this case, for 1.6A maximum output
current, the maximum inductor ripple current is 667 mA. The inductor size is estimated as following
equation:
Layout Considerations
CIN must be close to Pins VIN and GND, the loop area formed by CIN and GND must be minimized. Place
CCHRIN as close to Pins CHRIN and GND. The PCB copper area associated with SW pin must be
minimized to avoid the potential noise problem. FB Resistors and the traces connecting to the FB pin
must not adjacent to the SW net on the PCB layout to avoid the noise problem. ISET resistor must be as
far away with the SW net as possible. The thermal pad under the IC must be tied to the ground area on
the top layer, and use via to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes.
