The ActivePath architecture performs three
important functions: First, the battery is charged
while powering with the system, minimizing current
draw from the battery while ensuring that sufficient
current is available to power the system. Second, if
no input supply is available, system power is
automatically switched to the battery. And finally, if
the system load-requirement exceeds the capability
of the input supply, ActivePath automatically
supplements the input with the battery to satisfy the
system's power requirements.
In addition to ActivePath, the ACT3780 charger
features a complete, high-accuracy (±0.5%),
thermally regulated, stand-alone single cell linear
Li+ charger with an integrated 12V power
MOSFET. The ACT3780 is available in a thermally
enhanced 4mm × 4mm Thin-QFN44-20.

when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high, or to 90mA,
when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low. This
functionality provides simple means of
implementing a solution that operates within the
current-capability limitations of the USB port while
taking advantage of the high output current
capability of AC adapters. For more information
about the ACIN input, see the ACIN and CHGLEV
Inputs section.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT3780 is a complete battery-charging and
system power management solution for portable
hand-held equipment using single-cell Lithiumbased batteries. The ACT3780 incorporates ActiveSemi's patent-pending ActivePath architecture
which automatically selects the best available input
supply for the system, and additionally features a
complete, high-accuracy (±0.5%), thermally
regulated, Full-Featured single cell linear Li+
charger with an integrated 12V power MOSFET.
Dual-Function MOSFET (Q2)
Q2 is a dual-function power MOSFET, that serves
both as a low-resistance (50mΩ) switch that
supplies the load current requirements of the
system from the battery when no input supply is
present or the system demands more current than
the input can provide.
ActivePath Architecture
Active-semi's proprietary ActivePath architecture
performs three important functions:
System Configuration Optimization
Current-Limits and Charge-Current
Programming
Depending upon the state of the input supply,
ActivePath automatically optimizes the power
system configuration. If the input supply is
present, ActivePath powers the system in parallel
with the battery, so that both system power and
charge current can be independently managed to
ensure that system power requirements are
satisfied, the battery can charge as quickly as
possible, and to ensure that the total system current
does not exceed the capability of the input supply. If
the input supply is not present, then ActivePath
automatically configures the system to draw
power from the battery. Finally, if the system
current requirement exceeds the capability of the
input supply, ActivePath automatically configures
the battery to support the load in parallel with the
input supply, to ensure maximum supply
capability to the load under peak-power
consumption conditions.
ACT3780 provides a flexible current programming
scheme that combines the convenience of internal
charge current programming with the flexibility of
resistor-based charge current programming.
Current limits and charge current programming are
managed as a function of the ACIN and CHGLEV
pins, in combination with RISET, the resistance
connected to the ISET pin.
ACIN and CHGLEV Inputs
ACIN is a logic input that configures the current-limit
of input transistor (Q1) as well as that of the battery
charger. ACIN features an logic input threshold, so
that the input voltage detection threshold may be
adjusted with a simple resistive voltage divider. This
input also allows a simple, low-cost dual-input
charger switch to be implemented with just a few,
low-cost components. As shown in the Functional
Block Diagram.
Input MOSFET Power (Q1)
At the input of the ACT3780's ActivePath circuit is
Q1, an integrated 12V power MOSFET. Q1 is part
of an internal low-dropout linear regulator that
regulates the system voltage (VSYS) to 4.6V,
protecting the system from high-voltage input
supplies. Q1 includes several features that can be
used to limit the total current drawn from the input
supply.
When ACIN is driven to a logic high, the ActivePath
operates in “AC-Mode” and the charger charges at
the current programmed by RISET,
ISET(mA) = 495 / (RISET(kΩ) - 0.036)
When ACIN is driven to a logic-low, the ActivePath
circuitry operates in “USB-Mode”, which enforces a
maximum charge current setting of 450mA, if
CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high, or 90mA, if
CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low.
ACIN's current limit is determined primarily by the
ACIN input, Q1 operates in “AC-Mode” when ACIN
is driven to a logic-high, and Q1 operates in “USBMode” when driven to a logic-low. When operating
in “AC-Mode”, Q1's internal current limit is
programmed to 2.5A. When operating in “USBMode”, Q1's current limit is set to either 450mA,

The net resistance from TH to G required to cross

100µA × RNOM × kHOT = 0.5V → RNOM × kHOT = 5kΩ
100µA × RNOM × kCOLD = 2.5V → RNOM × kCOLD = 25kΩ
where RNOM is the nominal thermistor resistance at
room temperature, and kHOT and kCOLD are the ratios
of the thermistor's resistance at the desired hot and
cold thresholds, respectively.
Note that the actual charging current may be limited
to a current that is lower than the programmed fastcharge current due to the ACT3780’s internal
thermal regulation loop. See the Thermal
Regulation and Protection section for more
information.
Figure 1:
Simple Configuration
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC)
The ACT3780's ActivePath Charger features
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC) circuitry,
which continuously monitors the input supply to
prevent input overload conditions. DCCC reduces the
charge current when the SYS voltage decreases to
VDCCC and stops charging when SYS drops below
VDCCC by 1.5% (typical).
The DCCC voltage threshold is programmed by
connecting a resistor from DCCC to GA according
to the following equation:
VDCCC = 2 × (IDCCC × RDCCC )
(2)
Design Procedure
Where RDCCC is the value of the external resistor,
and IDCCC (100µA typical) is the value of the current
sourced from DCCC.
When designing with thermistors it is important to
keep in mind that their nonlinear behavior typically
allows one to directly control no more than one
threshold at a time. As a result, the design
procedure can change depending on which
threshold is most critical for a given application.
Given the tolerances of the RDCCC and IDCCC ,the
DCCC voltage threshold should be programmed to
be no less than 3.3V to prevent triggering the
UVLO, and to be no larger than 4.4V to prevent
engaging DCCC prematurely. A 19.1k (1%), or
18.7k (1%) resistor for RDCCC is recommended.
Most application requirements can be solved using
one of three cases,
Battery Temperature Monitoring
1) Simple solution
The ACT3780 continuously monitors the
temperature of the battery pack by sensing the
resistance of its thermistor, and suspends charging
if the temperature of the battery pack exceeds the
safety limits.
2) Fix VTHH, accept the resulting VTHL
3) Fix VTHL, accept the resulting VTHH
The ACT3780 was designed to achieve an
operating temperature range that is suitable for
most applications with very little design effort. The
simple solution is often found to provide reasonable
results and should always be used first, then the
design procedure may proceed to one of the other
solutions if necessary.
In a typical application, shown in Figure 1, the TH
pin is connected to the battery pack's thermistor
input. The ACT3780 injects a 100µA current out of the
TH pin into the thermistor, so that the thermistor

Rev 8, 09-Jul-13
In each design example, we refer to the Vishay
NTHS series of NTCs, and more specifically those
which follow a "curve 2" characteristic. For more
information on these NTCs, as well as access to the
resistance/temperature characteristic tables referred
to in the example, please refer to the Vishay website
at http://www.vishay.com/thermistors.
Simple Solution
The ACT3780 was designed to accommodate most
requirements with very little design effort, but also
provides flexibility when additional control over a
design is required. Initial thermistor selection is
accomplished by choosing one that best meets the
following requirements:
RNOM = 5kΩ/kHOT, and
(VTHH/ITH) = kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM + R
R = (VTHH/ITH) - kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM
R = (0.5V/100µA) - 0.5758 × 6.8kΩ
Finally,
R = 5kΩ - 3.9kΩ = 1.1kΩ
This result shows that adding 1.1kΩ in series with
the thermistor sets the net resistance from TH to G
to be 0.5V at 40°C, satisfying VTHH at the correct
temperature. Adding this resistance, however, also
impacts the lower temperature limit as follows:
VTHL/ITH = kCOLD(@TC) × RNOM + R
kCOLD(@TC) = (VTHL/ITH - R)/RNOM
Finally,
RNOM = 25kΩ/kCOLD
where kHOT and kCOLD for a given thermistor can be
found on its characteristic tables.
Taking a 0°C to 40°C application using a "curve 2"
NTC for this example, from the characteristic tables
one finds that kHOT and kCOLD are 0.5758 and 2.816,
respectively, and the RNOM that most closely
satisfies these requirements is therefore around
8.8kΩ. Selecting 10kΩ as the nearest standard
value, calculate kCOLD and kHOT as:
kCOLD(@TC) = (25kΩ - 1.1kΩ)/6.8kΩ = 3.51
Reviewing the characteristic curves, the lower
threshold is found to move to -5°C, a change of only
1°C. As a result, the system satisfies the upper
threshold of 40°C with an operating temperature
range of -5°C to 40°C, vs. our design target of 0°C
to 40°C. It is informative to highlight that due to the
NTC behavior of the thermistor, the relative impact
on the lower threshold is significantly smaller than
the impact on the upper threshold.
kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 2.5
kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 0.5
Identifying these values on the curve 2
characteristic tables indicates that the resulting
operating temperature range is 2°C to 44°C, vs. the
design goal of 0°C to 40°C. This example
demonstrates that one can satisfy common
operating temperature ranges with very little design
effort.
Fix VTHL
Fix VTHH
Following the same example as above, the
"unadjusted" results yield an operating temperature
range of -6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to
40°C. In applications that favor VTHH over VTHL,
however, one can control the voltage present at TH
at low temperatures by connecting a resistor in
parallel with ITH. The desired resistance can be
found using the following equation:
(ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/R) × kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM = VTHL
For demonstration purposes, supposing that we
had selected the next closest standard thermistor
value of 6.8kΩ in the example above, we would
have obtained the following results:
Rearranging yields
kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 3.67
R = 82kΩ
kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 0.74
Adding 82kΩ in parallel with the current source
increases the net
current flowing into the
thermistor, thus increasing the voltage at TH.
Adding this resistance, however, also impacts the
upper temperature limit:
which, according to the characteristic tables would
have resulted in an operating temperature range of
-6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to 40°C.
In this case, one can add resistance in series with
the thermistor to shift the range upwards, using the
following equation:
Innovative PowerTM
R = (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/(VTHL/(kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM) - ITH)
R = (5V - 2.5V)/(2.5V/(2.816 × 6.8kΩ) - 100µA)
VTHH = (ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHH)/R) × kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM
Rearranging yields,

Charging Safety Timers
Thermal Regulation and Protection
The ACT3780 features an internal thermal
regulation loop that reduces the charging current as
necessary to ensure that the die temperature does
not rise beyond the thermal regulation threshold of
110°C. This feature protects the ACT3780 against
excessive junction temperature and makes the
device more accommodating to aggressive thermal
designs. Note, however, that attention to good
thermal designs is required to achieve the fastest
possible charge time by maximizing charge current.
In order to account for the extended total charge
time resulting from operation in thermal regulation
mode, the charge timeout periods are extended
proportionally to the reduction in charge current.
The conditions that cause the ACT3780 to reduce
charge current in accordance to the internal thermal
regulation loop can be approximated by calculating
the power dissipated in the part.
The ACT3780 features a programmable safety
charging timer by setting an external resistor from
BTR pin to G (RBTR). The time out period is
calculated as shown in Figure 2. The maximum RBTR
should not be larger than 68kΩ.
If the timeout period expires without change
termination, the ACT3780 will jump to EOC state.
If the ACT3780 detects that the charger remains in
precondition for longer than the precondition time
out period (which determined as TNORMAL/3), the
ACT3780 turns off the charger and generates a
FAULT to ensure prevent charging a bad cell.
Figure 2:
TNORMAL vs. RBTR

TNORMAL (Min)
Reviewing the characteristic curves, the upper
threshold is found to move to 45°C, a change of
about 14°C. Adding the parallel resistance has
allowed us to achieve our desired lower threshold of
0°C with an operating temperature range of 0°C to
45°C, vs. our design target of 0°C to 40°C.

The ACT3780 also features thermal shutdown for
further protection. When the device temperature
exceeds 160°C, the device will automatically turn
off to prevent the IC from damage. After the die
temperature decreases below 135°C, the IC will

Charging Status Indication
Table 4:
The ACT3780 provides nSTAT1 and nSTAT2
Outputs to indicate the Charging Status of the
charger. These are two open-drain outputs which
sink current went asserted and high-Z otherwise.
These outputs have internal 6mA current limits, and
are capable of directly driving LEDs, without the
need of current-limiting resistors or other external
circuitry, for a visual charge-status indication. To
drive an LED, simply connect the LED between
each pin and an appropriate supply (typically VSYS).
For a logic level indication, simply connect a
resistor from each output to a appropriate voltage
supply. For more details, see table 2 for LED
indication:

Battery Voltage Level Indication
When the battery is being charged, the ACT3780
senses VBAT and features nBLV1 and nBLV2 as
two battery voltage level indicator outputs. These
are two open-drain outputs which sink current
whenever asserted. For logic level indication,
simply connect a resistor from each output to an
appropriate voltage supply. See below table 3 for
more information:

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The ACT3780 provides over voltage protection
function. When the ACT3780 detects the voltage at
CHG_IN pin is greater than 6.9V, it automatically
turns off the Q1 Power FET and turns on the Q2 to
supply the system load from the battery.
nSTAT3 Output
The ACT3780's nSTAT3 output provide a logic level
indication of OVP. This is an open-drain Output
which sinks current whenever VCHG_IN is greater
than 6.9V.
Enable/Disable Input
The ACT3780's EN is used to enable the IC. Driving
this pin to a logic high enables the ACT3780.
Driving EN pin to a logic low forces the device to
enter suspend mode. In suspend mode, if a valid
input is present at CHG_IN pin, Q1 is turned off.
And the system is powered by the battery via Q2.
This feature is designed to limit the power drawn
from the input supply (such as USB in suspend
mode).
CC/CV Regulation Loop
At the core of the ACT3780's battery charger is a
CC/CV regulation loop, which regulates either
current or voltage as necessary to ensure fast and
safe charging of the battery. In a normal charge
cycle, this loop regulates the current to the value
set by the external resistor at the ISET pin.
Charging continues at this current until the battery
cell voltage reaches the termination voltage (default
is 4.2V or 4.1V). At this point the CV loop takes
over, and charge current is allowed to decrease as
necessary to maintain charging at the termination
voltage.
nACOK Output
Enable/Disable Charging
The ACT3780's nACOK output provides a logiclevel indication of the status of the voltage at
CHG_IN. nACOK is an open-drain output which
sinks current when a valid input is applied to
CHG_IN.
The ACT3780's DCCC pin can be used to disable
charging. By floating the DCCC pin, the charger will
be disabled.

B: FAST-CHARGE State
C: TOP-OFF State
D: END-OF-CHARGE State
Charger State-Machine
PRECONDITION State
A new charging cycle begins with the
PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in
this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition
Threshold Voltage of 2.85V (typ). When operating
in PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at a
reduced current, 10% of the programmed maximum
fast-charge constant current, ISET. Once VBAT
reaches the Precondition Threshold Voltage the
state machine jumps to the FAST-CHARGE state. If
VBAT does not reach the Precondition Threshold
Voltage before the Precondition Timeout period
TPRECONDITION expires, then a damaged cell is
detected and the state machine jumps to the
TIMEOUT- FAULT State. For the Precondition
Timeout period, see the Charging Safety Timers
section for more information.
FAST-CHARGE State
In FAST-CHARGE state, the ACT3780 charges at
the current programmed by RISET (see the Current
Limits and Charge Current Programming section for
more information). During a normal charge cycle
fast-charge continues in CC mode until VBAT
reaches the charge termination voltage (VTERM), at
which point the ACT3780 charges in TOP-OFF
state. If VBAT does not proceed out of the FASTCHARGE state before the Normal Timeout period
(TNORMAL) expires, then the state machine jumps to
the END-OF-CHARGE state and will re-initiate a
new charge cycle after 2-4ms “relax”.
Innovative PowerTM
TOP-OFF State
In the TOP-OFF state, the cell is charged in
constant-voltage (CV) mode. Charge current
decreases as charging continues. During a normal
charging cycle charging proceeds until the charge
current decreases below the END-OF-CHARGE
(EOC) threshold, defined as 10% of ISET (ACIN =
1) or 4% of ISET (ACIN = 0) . When this happens,
the state-machine terminates the charge cycle and
jumps to the EOC state. If the state-machine does
not jump out of the TOP-OFF state before the TotalCharge Timeout period expires, the state machine
jumps to the EOC state and will re-initiate a new
charge cycle when VBAT falls 175mV(typ) below the
charge termination voltage.
END-OF-CHARGE State
In the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state, the
ACT3780 presents a high-impedance to the battery,
allowing the cell to “relax” and minimizes battery
leakage current. The ACT3780 continues to monitor
the cell voltage, however, so that it can re-initiate
charging cycles when VBAT falls 175mV(typ) below
the charge termination voltage.
SUSPEND State
The ACT3780 features an user-selectable suspend
charge mode, which disables the charger but keeps
other circuiting functional. The charger can be put
into suspend mode by driving EN to logic low. Upon
exiting the SUSPEND State, the charge timer is
reset and the state machine jumps to
PRECONDITION state.
