Charging System Safety Circuit
Features
The ISL9209C is an integrated circuit (IC) optimized to
provide a redundant safety protection to a Li-ion battery from
failures of a charging system. The IC monitors the input
voltage, the battery voltage, and the charge current. When
any of the three parameters exceeds its limit, the IC turns off
an internal P-Channel MOSFET to remove the power from
the charging system. In addition to the above protected
parameters, the IC also monitors its own internal
temperature and turns off the P-Channel MOSFET when the
temperature exceeds +140°C. Together with the battery
charger IC and the protection module in a battery pack, the
charging system using the ISL9209C has triple-level
protection and is two-fault tolerant.
• Fully Integrated Protection Circuit for Three Protected
Variables
The IC is designed to turn on the internal PFET slowly to
avoid in-rush current at power-up but will turn off the PFET
quickly when the input is overvoltage in order to remove the
power before any damage occurs. The ISL9209C has a logic
warning output to indicate the fault and an enable input to
allow the system to remove the input power.

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
150°C max junction temperature is intended for short periods of time to prevent shortening the lifetime. Operation close to 150°C junction may trigger the shutdown of
the device even before 150°C, since this number is specified as typical.
NOTES:
1. The maximum voltage rating for the VB pin under continuous operating conditions is 5.5V. All other pins are allowed to operate continuously at
the absolute maximum ratings.
2. θJA is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See
Tech Brief TB379.
3. θJC, “case temperature” location is at the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside. See Tech Brief TB379.

Theory of Operation
Power-up
The ISL9209C is an integrated circuit (IC) optimized to
provide a redundant safety protection to a Li-ion battery from
charging system failures. The IC monitors the input voltage,
the battery voltage, and the charge current. When any of the
above three parameters exceeds its limit, the IC turns off an
internal P-Channel MOSFET to remove the power from the
charging system. In addition to the above protected
parameters, the IC also monitors its own internal
temperature and turns off the P-Channel MOSFET when the
temperature exceeds +140°C. Together with the battery
charger IC and the protection module in a battery pack, the
charging system has triple-level protection from
overcharging the Li-ion battery and is two-fault tolerant. The
ISL9209C protects up to 30V input voltage.
The ISL9209C has a power-on reset (POR) threshold of
2.6V with a built-in hysteresis of 125mV. Before the input
voltage reaches the POR threshold, the internal power PFET
is off. Approximately 10ms after the input voltage exceeds
the POR threshold, the IC resets itself and begins the softstart. The 10ms delay allows any transients at the input
during a hot insertion of the power supply to settle down
before the IC starts to operate. The soft-start slowly turns on
the power PFET to reduce the in-rush current as well as the
input voltage drop during the transition. The power-up
behavior is illustrated in Figure 2.
7
Input Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The input voltage is monitored by the comparator CP1 in the
“Block Diagram” on page 3 (Figure 1). CP1 has an accurate
reference of 1.2V from the bandgap reference. The OVP
threshold is set by the resistive divider consisting of R1 and
R2. The protection threshold is set to 5.85V. When the input
FN6489.0
May 21, 2007
ISL9209C
voltage exceeds the threshold, the CP1 outputs a logic
signal to turn off the power PFET within 1µs (see Figure 3) to
prevent the high input voltage from damaging the electronics
in the handheld system. The hysteresis for the input OVP
threshold is given in the “Electrical Specifications” table on
page 2. When the input overvoltage condition is removed,
the ISL9209C re-enables the output by running through the
soft-start, as shown in Figure 5. Because of the 10ms delay
before the soft-start, the output is never enabled if the input
rises above the OVP threshold quickly, as shown in Figure 6.
the enable pin is toggled. Figure 8 and Figure 9 illustrate the
waveforms during the power-up when the output is
short-circuited to ground.
Battery Overvoltage Protection
External Enable Control
The battery voltage OVP is realized with the VB pin. The
comparator CP3, as shown in Figure 1, monitors the VB pin
and issues an overvoltage signal when the battery voltage
exceeds the 4.34V (nominal) battery OVP threshold. The
threshold has 30mV built-in hysteresis. The comparator CP3
has a built-in 180µs blanking time to prevent any transient
voltage from triggering the OVP. If the OVP situation still
exists after the blanking time, the power PFET is turned off.
The control logic contains a 4-bit binary counter that if the
battery overvoltage event occurs 16 times, the power PFET
is turned off permanently, as shown in Figure 7. Recycling
the input power or toggling the enable (EN) input will reset
the counter and restart the ISL9209C.
The ISL9209C offers an enable (EN) input. When the EN pin
is pulled to logic HIGH, the protection IC is shut down. The
internal control circuit as well as the power PFET are turned
off. Both 4-bit binary counters for the battery OVP and the
OCP are reset to zero when the IC is re-enabled. The EN pin
has an internal 200kΩ pull-down resistor. Leaving the EN pin
floating or driving it to below 0.4V enables the IC.
The resistor between the VB pin and the battery (RVB) as
shown in the “Typical Application Circuit” on page 1, is an
important component. This resistor provides a current limit in
case the VB pin is shorted to the input voltage under a failure
mode. The VB pin leakage current under normal operation is
negligible to allow a resistance of 200kΩ to 1MΩ be used.
Applications Information
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The current in the power PFET is limited to prevent charging
the battery with an excessive current. The current is sensed
using the voltage drop across the power FET after the FET is
turned on. The reference of the OCP is generated using a
sensing FET (Q2), as shown in Figure 1. The current in the
sensing FET is forced to the value programmed by the ILIM
pin. The size of the power FET (Q1) is 31,250 times the size
of the sensing FET. Therefore, when the current in the power
FET is 31,250 times the current in the sensing FET, the drain
voltage of the power FET falls below that of the sensing FET.
The comparator CP2 then outputs a signal to turn off the
power FET.
The OCP threshold can be calculated using Equation 1:
0.8V
25000
I LIM = --------------- ⋅ 31250 = ---------------R ILIM
R ILIM
(EQ. 1)
where the 0.8V is the regulated voltage at the ILIM pin. The
OCP comparator CP2 has a built-in 170µs delay to prevent
false triggering by transient signals. The OCP function also
has a 4-bit binary counter that accumulates during an OCP
event. When the total count reaches 16, the power PFET is
turned off permanently, unless the input power is recycled or
8
Internal Over-Temperature Protection
The ISL9209C monitors its own internal temperature to
prevent thermal failures. When the internal temperature
reaches +140°C, the IC turns off the P-Channel power
MOSFET. The IC does not resume operation until the
internal temperature drops below +90°C.
Warning Indication Output
The WRN pin is an open-drain output that indicates a LOW
signal when any of the three protection events happens. This
allows the microprocessor to give an indication to the user to
further enhance the safety of the charging system.
The ISL9209C is designed to meet the “Lithium-Safe” criteria
when operating together with the ISL6292 family Li-ion
battery chargers. The “Lithium-Safe” criteria requires the
charger output to fall within the green region shown in
Figure 23 under normal operating conditions and NOT to fall
in the red region when there is a single fault in the charging
system. Taking into account the safety circuit in a Li-ion
battery pack, the charging system is allowed to have two
faults without creating hazardous conditions for the battery
cell. The output of any ISL6292 family chargers, such as the
ISL6292C, has a typical I-V curve shown with the blue lines
under normal operation, which is within the green region.
The function of the ISL9209C is to add a redundant
protection layer such that, under any single fault condition,
the charging system output does not exceed the I-V limits
shown with the red lines. As a result, the charging system
adopting the ISL9209C and the ISL6292C chip set can
easily pass the “Lithium-Safe” criteria test procedures.
The ISL9209C is a simple device that requires only three
external components, in addition to the ISL6292 charger
circuit, to meet the “Lithium-Safe” criteria, as shown in the
“Typical Application Circuit” on page 1. The selection of the
current limit resistor RILIM is given in “Overcurrent Protection
(OCP)” on page 8.

RVB Selection
The RVB prevents a large current from the VB pin to the
battery terminal, in case the ISL9209C fails. The
recommended value should be between 200kΩ to 1MΩ.
With 200kΩ resistance, the worst case current flowing from
the VB pin to the charger output is:

RWRN
( 30V – 4.2V ) ⁄ ( 200kΩ = 130μA )
(EQ. 2)
assuming the VB pin voltage is 30V under a failure mode
and the battery voltage is 4.2V. Such a small current can be
easily absorbed by the bias current of other components in
the handheld system. Increasing the RVB value reduces the
worst case current, but at the same time increases the error
for the 4.34V battery OVP threshold.
The error of the battery OVP threshold is the original
accuracy at the VB pin given in the “Electrical Specifications”
table on page 2 plus the voltage built across the RVB by the
VB pin leakage current. The VB pin leakage current is less
than 20nA, as given in the Electrical Specifications table.
With the 200kΩ resistor, the worst-case additional error is
4mV and with a 1MΩ resistor, the worst-case additional error
is 20mV.

Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor (C1 in the “Typical Application Circuit” on
page 1) is for decoupling. Higher value reduces the voltage
drop or the over shoot during transients.
Two scenarios can cause the input voltage over shoot. The
first one is when the AC adapter is inserted live (hot
insertion) and the second one is when the current in the
power PFET of the ISL9209C has a step-down change.
Figure 25 shows an equivalent circuit for the ISL9209C
input. The cable between the AC/DC converter output and
the handheld system input has a parasitic inductor. The
parasitic resistor is the lumped sum of various components,
such as the cable, the adapter output capacitor ESR, the
connector contact resistance, and so on.

Interfacing to MCU
The ISL9209C has the enable (EN) and the warning (WRN)
digital signals that can be interfaced to a microcontroller unit
(MCU). Both signals can be left floating if not used. When
interfacing to an MCU, it is highly recommended to insert a
resistor between the ISL9209C signal pin and the MCU
GPIO pin, as shown in Figure 24. The resistor creates an
isolation to limit the current, in case a high voltage shows up
at the ISL9209C pins under a failure mode. The
recommended resistance ranges from 10kΩ to 100kΩ. The
selection of the REN is dependent on the IO voltage (VIO) of
the MCU. REN should be selected so that the ISL9209C EN
pin voltage is above the disable threshold when the GPIO
output of the MCU is high.

FIGURE 25. EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT FOR THE ISL9209C INPUT
During the load current step-down transient, the energy
stored in the parasitic inductor is used to charge the input
decoupling capacitor C2. The ISL9209C is designed to turn
off the power PFET slowly during the OCP, the battery OVP
event, and when the device is disabled via the EN pin.
Because of such design, the input over shoot during those
events is not significant. During an input OVP, however, the
PFET is turned in less than 1µs and can lead to significant
over shoot. Higher capacitance reduces this type of over
shoot.
The over shoot caused by a hot insertion is not very
dependent on the decoupling capacitance value. Especially
when ceramic type capacitors are used for decoupling. In
theory, the over shoot can rise up to twice of the DC output

voltage of the AC adapter. The actual peak voltage is
dependent on the damping factor that is mainly determined
by the parasitic resistance (R in Figure 25).
In practice, the input decoupling capacitor is recommended
to use a 16V X5R dielectric ceramic capacitor with a value
between 0.1µF to 1µF.
The output of the ISL9209C and the input of the charging
circuit typically share one decoupling capacitor. The
selection of that capacitor is mainly determined by the
requirement of the charging circuit. When using the ISL6292
family chargers, a 1µF, 6.3V, X5R capacitor is
recommended.

Layout Recommendation
The ISL9209C uses a thermally enhanced DFN package.
The exposed pad under the package should be connected to
the ground plane electrically as well as thermally. A grid of
1.0mm to 1.2mm pitch thermal vias in two rows and 4 to 5
vias per row is recommended (refer to the ISL9200EVAL1
evaluation board layout). The vias should be about 0.3mm to
0.33mm in diameter. Use some copper on the component
layer if possible to further improve the thermal performance
but it is not mandatory.
Since the ISL9209C is a protection device, the layout should
also pay attention to the spacing between tracks. When the
distance between the edges of two tracks is less than
0.76mm, an FMEA (failure mechanism and effect analysis)
should be performed to ensure that a short between those
two tracks does not lead to the charger output exceeding the
“Lithium-Safe” region limits. Intersil will have the FMEA
document for the solution using the ISL9209C and the
ISL6292C chip set but the layout FMEA should be added as
part of the analysis.
