Highly Integrated Battery Charger
Controller for Notebook Computers
• ±0.5% Charge Voltage Accuracy (-10°C to +100°C)
The constant output voltage can be selected for 2, 3 and 4
series Li-ion cells with 0.5% accuracy over-temperature. It can
also be programmed between 4.2V + 5%/cell and
4.2V - 5%/cell to optimize battery capacity. When supplying
the load and battery charger simultaneously, the input current
limit for the AC adapter is programmable to within 3%
accuracy to avoid overloading the AC adapter, and to allow
the system to make efficient use of available adapter power
for charging. It also has a wide range of programmable
charging current. The ISL6252, ISL6252A provides outputs
that are used to monitor the current drawn from the AC
adapter, and monitor for the presence of an AC adapter. The
ISL6252, ISL6252A automatically transitions from regulating
current mode to regulating voltage mode.

Theory of Operation
Introduction
Unless otherwise noted, all descriptions of ISL6252 refer to
both ISL6252 and ISL6252A. The ISL6252 includes all of the
functions necessary to charge 2- to 4-cell Li-ion and
Li-polymer batteries. A high efficiency synchronous buck
converter is used to control the charging voltage and
charging current up to 10A. The ISL6252 has input current
limiting and analog inputs for setting the charge current and
charge voltage; CHLIM inputs are used to control charge
current and VADJ inputs are used to control charge voltage.
The ISL6252 charges the battery with constant charge
current, set by CHLIM input, until the battery voltage rises up
to a programmed charge voltage set by VADJ input; then the
charger begins to operate at a constant voltage charge mode.
The charger also drives an adapter isolation P-Channel
MOSFET to efficiently switch in the adapter supply.
ISL6252 is a complete power source selection controller for
single battery systems and also aircraft power applications.
It drives a battery selector P-Channel MOSFET to efficiently
select between a single battery and the adapter. It controls
the battery discharging MOSFET and switches to the battery
when the AC adapter is removed or switches to the AC
adapter when the AC adapter is inserted for single battery
system.
The EN input allows shutdown of the charger through a
command from a micro-controller. It also uses EN to safely
shutdown the charger when the battery is in extremely hot
conditions. The amount of adapter current is reported on the
ICM output. Figure 1 shows the “IC Functional Block Diagram”
on page 3.
12
The synchronous buck converter uses external N-Channel
MOSFETs to convert the input voltage to the required
charging current and charging voltage. Figure 2 shows the
ISL6252 typical application circuit with charging current and
charging voltage fixed at specific values. The typical
application circuit shown in Figure 3 shows the ISL6252
typical application circuit, which uses a micro-controller to
adjust the charging current set by CHLIM input for aircraft
power applications. The voltage at CHLIM and the value of R1
sets the charging current. The DC/DC converter generates
the control signals to drive two external N-Channel MOSFETs
to regulate the voltage and current set by the ACLIM, CHLIM,
VADJ and CELLS inputs.
The ISL6252 features a voltage regulation loop (VCOMP)
and two current regulation loops (ICOMP). The VCOMP
voltage regulation loop monitors CSON to ensure that its
voltage never exceeds the voltage and regulates the battery
charge voltage set by VADJ. The ICOMP current regulation
loops regulate the battery charging current delivered to the
battery to ensure that it never exceeds the charging current
limit set by CHLIM; and the ICOMP current regulation loops
also regulate the input current drawn from the AC adapter to
ensure that it never exceeds the input current limit set by
ACLIM, and to prevent a system crash and AC adapter
overload.
PWM Control
The ISL6252 employs a fixed frequency PWM current mode
control architecture with a feed-forward function. The
feed-forward function maintains a constant modulator gain of
11 to achieve fast line regulation as the buck input voltage
changes. When the battery charge voltage approaches the
input voltage, the DC/DC converter operates in dropout
mode, where there is a timer to prevent the frequency from
dropping into the audible frequency range. It can achieve
duty cycle of up to 99.6%.
To prevent boosting of the system bus voltage, the battery
charger operates in standard-buck mode when
CSOP-CSON drops below 4.25mV. Once in standard-buck
mode, hysteresis does not allow synchronous operation of
the DC/DC converter until CSOP-CSON rises above
12.5mV.
An adaptive gate drive scheme is used to control the dead
time between two switches. The dead time control circuit
monitors the LGATE output and prevents the upper side
MOSFET from turning on until LGATE is fully off, preventing
cross-conduction and shoot-through. In order for the dead
time circuit to work properly, there must be a low resistance,
low inductance path from the LGATE driver to MOSFET
gate, and from the source of MOSFET to PGND. The
external Schottky diode is between the VDDP pin and BOOT
pin to keep the bootstrap capacitor charged.

Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage
Setting the Battery Charge Current Limit
The ISL6252 uses a high-accuracy trimmed band-gap
voltage reference to regulate the battery charging voltage.
The VADJ input adjusts the charger output voltage, and the
VADJ control voltage can vary from 0 to VREF, providing a
10% adjustment range (from 4.2V - 5% to 4.2V + 5%) on
CSON regulation voltage. An overall voltage accuracy of
better than 0.5% is achieved.
The CHLIM input sets the maximum charging current. The
current set by the current sense-resistor connects between
CSOP and CSON. The full-scale differential voltage between
CSOP and CSON is 165mV for CHLIM = 3.3V, so the
maximum charging current is 4.125A for a 40m sensing
resistor. Other battery charge current-sense threshold
values can be set by connecting a resistor divider from
VREF or 3.3V to ground, or by connecting a low impedance
voltage source like a D/A converter in the micro-controller.
Unlike VADJ and ACLIM, CHLIM does not have an internal
resistor divider network. The charge current limit threshold is
given by Equation 3:
The per-cell battery termination voltage is a function of the
battery chemistry (consult the battery manufacturers to
determine this voltage):
• Float VADJ to set the battery voltage
VCSON = 4.2V  number of the cells
• Connect VADJ to VREF to set 4.41V  number of cells
• Connect VADJ to ground to set 3.99V  number of cells
so, the maximum battery voltage of 17.6V can be achieved.
note that other battery charge voltages can be set by
connecting a resistor divider from VREF to ground. The resistor
divider should be sized to draw no more than 100µA from
VREF; or connect a low impedance voltage source like the D/A
converter in the micro-controller. The programmed battery
voltage per cell can be determined by Equation 1:
V CELL = 0.175  V VADJ + 3.99V
(EQ. 1)
An external resistor divider from VREF sets the voltage at
VADJ according to Equation 2:
R bot_VADJ  514k
V VADJ = VREF  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------R top_VADJ  514k + R bot_VADJ  514k
(EQ. 2)
To minimize accuracy loss due to interaction with VADJ's
internal resistor divider, ensure the AC resistance looking
back into the external resistor divider is less than 25k.
Connect CELLS as shown in Table 1 to charge 2, 3 or 4 Li+
cells. When charging other cell chemistries, use CELLS to
select an output voltage range for the charger. The internal
error amplifier gm1 maintains voltage regulation. The voltage
error amplifier is compensated at VCOMP. The component
values shown in Figure 3 provide suitable performance for most
applications. Individual compensation of the voltage regulation
and current-regulation loops allows for optimal compensation.

3.3V
When the CHLIM voltage is below 88mV (typical), it will
disable the battery charge. When choosing the current
sensing resistor, note that the voltage drop across the
sensing resistor causes further power dissipation, reducing
efficiency. However, adjusting CHLIM voltage to reduce the
voltage across the current sense resistor R1 will degrade
accuracy due to the smaller signal to the input of the current
sense amplifier. There is a trade-off between accuracy and
power dissipation. A low pass filter is recommended to
eliminate switching noise. Connect the resistor to the CSOP
pin instead of the CSON pin, as the CSOP pin has lower
bias current and less influence on current-sense accuracy
and voltage regulation accuracy.
Charge Current Limit Accuracy
The “Electrical Specifications” table on page 6 gives
minimum and maximum values for the CSOP-CSON voltage
resulting from IC variations at 3 different CHLIM voltages
(CSOP-CSON Full-Scale Current Sense Voltage on page 7).
It also gives formulae for calculating the minimum and
maximum CSOP-CSON voltage at any CHLIM voltage.

With CHLIM = 1.5V, the maximum CSOP-CSON voltage is
78mV and the minimum CSOP-CSON voltage is 72mV.
When ISL6252A is in charge current limiting mode, the
maximum charge current is the maximum CSOP-CSON
voltage divided by the minimum sense resistor. This can be
calculated for ISL6252A with Equation 7:

(EQ. 9)
Setting the Input Current Limit
The total input current from an AC adapter, or other DC
source, is a function of the system supply current and the
battery-charging current. The input current regulator limits
the input current by reducing the charging current, when the
input current exceeds the input current limit set point.
System current normally fluctuates as portions of the system
are powered up or down. Without input current regulation,
the source must be able to supply the maximum system
current and the maximum charger input current
simultaneously. By using the input current limiter, the current
capability of the AC adapter can be lowered, reducing
system cost.
The ISL6252 limits the battery charge current when the input
current-limit threshold is exceeded, ensuring the battery
charger does not load down the AC adapter voltage. This
constant input current regulation allows the adapter to fully
power the system and prevent the AC adapter from
overloading and crashing the system bus.
An internal amplifier gm3 compares the voltage between
CSIP and CSIN to the input current limit threshold voltage
set by ACLIM. Connect ACLIM to REF, Float and GND for
the full-scale input current limit threshold voltage of 100mV,
75mV and 50mV, respectively, or use a resistor divider from
VREF to ground to set the input current limit as Equation 10:
14
(EQ. 10)
An external resistor divider from VREF sets the voltage at
ACLIM according to Equation 11:

 top ACLIM  152k + R bot ACLIM  152k
(EQ. 11)
where Rbot_ACLIM and Rtop_ACLIM are external resistors at
ACLIM.
To minimize accuracy loss due to interaction with ACLIM's
internal resistor divider, ensure the AC resistance looking
back into the resistor divider is less than 25k.
When choosing the current sense resistor, note that the
voltage drop across this resistor causes further power
dissipation, reducing efficiency. The AC adapter current
sense accuracy is very important. Use a 1% tolerance
current-sense resistor. The highest accuracy of ±3% is
achieved with 100mV current-sense threshold voltage for
ACLIM = VREF, but it has the highest power dissipation. For
example, it has 400mW power dissipation for rated 4A AC
adapter and 1 sensing resistor may have to be used. ±4%
and ±6% accuracy can be achieved with 75mV and 50mV
current-sense threshold voltage for ACLIM = Floating and
ACLIM = GND, respectively.
A low pass filter is suggested to eliminate the switching
noise. Connect the resistor to CSIN pin instead of CSIP pin
because CSIN pin has lower bias current and less influence
on the current-sense accuracy.
AC Adapter Detection
Connect the AC adapter voltage through a resistor divider to
ACSET to detect when AC power is available, as shown in
Figure 2. ACPRN is an open-drain output and is high when
ACSET is less than Vth,rise, and active low when ACSET is
above Vth,fall. Vth,rise and Vth,fall are given by Equation 12

The hysteresis is IhysR8, where Ihys = 2.2µA (min),
3.4µA (typ) and 4.4µA (max).

Current Measurement
Use ICM to monitor the input current being sensed across
CSIP and CSIN. The output voltage range is 0V to 2.5V. The
voltage of ICM is proportional to the voltage drop across
CSIP and CSIN, and is given by Equation 14:
ICM = 19.9  I INPUT  R 2
(EQ. 14)
where IINPUT is the DC current drawn from the AC adapter.
ICM has ±3% accuracy. It is recommended to have an RC
filter at the ICM output for minimizing the switching noise.
LDO Regulator
VDD provides a 5.0V supply voltage from the internal LDO
regulator from DCIN and can deliver up to 30mA of current.
The MOSFET drivers are powered by VDDP, which must be
connected to VDDP as shown in Figure 2. VDDP connects
to VDD through an external low pass filter. Bypass VDDP
and VDD with a 1µF capacitor.
Protection is always above the nominal output voltage and
can be calculated from Equation 15:

V OVP = V OUT NOM + N CELLS   42.2mV – 22.2mV  ----------------

(EQ. 15)
For example, if the CELLS pin is connected to ground
(NCELLS = 3) and VADJ is floating (VADJ = 1.195V) then
VOUT,NOM = 12.6V and VOVP = 12.693V or
VOUT,NOM + 93mV.
There is a delay of approximately 400nsec between VOUT
exceeding the OVP trip point and pulling VCOMP, LGATE
and UGATE low.

Shutdown
The ISL6252 features a low-power shutdown mode. Driving
EN low shuts down the ISL6252. In shutdown, the DC/DC
converter is disabled, and VCOMP and ICOMP are pulled to
ground. The ICM, ACPRN output continue to function.
EN can be driven by a thermistor to allow automatic
shutdown of the ISL6252 when the battery pack is hot. Often
a NTC thermistor is included inside the battery pack to
measure its temperature. When connected to the charger,
the thermistor forms a voltage divider with a resistive pull-up
to the VREF. The threshold voltage of EN is 1.0V with 60mV
hysteresis. The thermistor can be selected to have a
resistance vs temperature characteristic that abruptly
decreases above a critical temperature. This arrangement
automatically shuts down the ISL6252 when the battery pack
is above a critical temperature.
Another method for inhibiting charging is to force CHLIM
below 85mV (typ).
Short Circuit Protection and 0V Battery Charging
Since the battery charger will regulate the charge current to
the limit set by CHLIM, it automatically has short circuit
protection and is able to provide the charge current to wake
up an extremely discharged battery.
Over-Temperature Protection
If the die temp exceeds +150°C, it stops charging. Once the
die temp drops below +125°C, charging will start up again.

FIGURE 17. OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION IN ISL6252
During normal operation with cells installed, the CSON pin
voltage will be the cell stack voltage. When EN is low and the
cells are removed, this voltage may drop below 100mV. Due
to non-linearities in the OVP comparator at this low input
level, the VCOMP pin may be held low even after EN is
commanded high. If regulation is required in the absence of
cells then a series resistor and diode need to be installed
which inject current into the CSON pin from the VDD pin.
See R23 and D5 in Figure 3. This will maintain the CSON pin
voltage well within its linear range in the absence of cells,
and will be effectively out of the circuit when the diode is
reversed biased by the cell stack. Resistor values from 10k
to 100k have been found to be effective.
Overvoltage Protection
Application Information
ISL6252 has an Overvoltage Protection circuit that limits the
output voltage when the battery is removed or disconnected
by a pulse charging circuit. If CSON exceeds the output
voltage set point by more than VOVP an internal comparator
pulls VCOMP down and turns off both upper and lower FETs
of the buck, as in Figure 17. The trip point for Overvoltage
The following battery charger design refers to the typical
application circuit in Figure 2, where typical battery
configuration of 4S2P is used. This section describes how to
select the external components including the inductor, input
and output capacitors, switching MOSFETs, and current
sensing resistors.

Inductor Selection
The inductor selection has trade-offs between cost, size,
crossover frequency and efficiency. For example, the lower
the inductance, the smaller the size, but ripple current is
higher. This also results in higher AC losses in the magnetic
core and the windings, which decrease the system
efficiency. On the other hand, the higher inductance results
in lower ripple current and smaller output filter capacitors,
but it has higher DCR (DC resistance of the inductor) loss,
lower saturation current and has slower transient response.
So, the practical inductor design is based on the inductor
ripple current being ±15% to ±20% of the maximum
operating DC current at maximum input voltage. Maximum
ripple is at 50% duty cycle or VBAT = VIN,MAX/2. The
required inductance can be calculated from Equation 16:
V IN MAX
L = --------------------------------------------4  f SW  I RIPPLE
(EQ. 16)
Where VIN,MAX and fSW are the maximum input voltage,
and switching frequency, respectively.
The inductor ripple current I is found from Equation 17:
I RIPPLE = 0.3  I L MAX
(EQ. 17)
where the maximum peak-to-peak ripple current is 30% of
the maximum charge current is used.
For VIN,MAX = 19V, VBAT = 16.8V, IBAT,MAX = 2.6A, and
fs = 300kHz, the calculated inductance is 8.3µH. Choosing
the closest standard value gives L = 10µH. Ferrite cores are
often the best choice since they are optimized at 300kHz to
600kHz operation with low core loss. The core must be large
enough not to saturate at the peak inductor current IPeak in
Equation 18:
1
I PEAK = I L MAX + ---  I RIPPLE
2
(EQ. 18)
Inductor saturation can lead to cascade failures due to very
high currents. Conservative design limits the peak and RMS
current in the inductor to less than 90% of the rated
saturation current.
Crossover frequency is heavily dependent on the inductor
value. fCO should be less than 20% of the switching
frequency and a conservative design has fCO less than 10%
of the switching frequency. The highest fCO is in voltage
control mode with the battery removed and may be
calculated (approximately) from Equation 19:
5  11  R SENSE
f CO = ------------------------------------------2  L
(EQ. 19)
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor in parallel with the battery is used to
absorb the high frequency switching ripple current and
16
smooth the output voltage. The RMS value of the output
ripple current IRMS is given by Equation 20:
V IN MAX
I RMS = -----------------------------------  D   1 – D 
12  L  F SW
(EQ. 20)
where the duty cycle D is the ratio of the output voltage
(battery voltage) over the input voltage for continuous
conduction mode which is typical operation for the battery
charger. During the battery charge period, the output voltage
varies from its initial battery voltage to the rated battery
voltage. So, the duty cycle change can be in the range of
between 0.53 and 0.88 for the minimum battery voltage of
10V (2.5V/Cell) and the maximum battery voltage of 16.8V.
The maximum RMS value of the output ripple current occurs
at the duty cycle of 0.5 and is expressed as Equation 21:
V IN MAX
I RMS = ----------------------------------------4  12  L  f SW
(EQ. 21)
For VIN,MAX = 19V, VBAT = 16.8V, L = 10µH, and
fs = 300kHz, the maximum RMS current is 0.19A. A typical
10F ceramic capacitor is a good choice to absorb this
current and also has very small size. Organic polymer
capacitors have high capacitance with small size and have a
significant equivalent series resistance (ESR). Although
ESR adds to ripple voltage, it also creates a high frequency
zero that helps the closed loop operation of the buck
regulator.
EMI considerations usually make it desirable to minimize
ripple current in the battery leads. Beads may be added in
series with the battery pack to increase the battery
impedance at 300kHz switching frequency. Switching ripple
current splits between the battery and the output capacitor
depending on the ESR of the output capacitor and battery
impedance. If the ESR of the output capacitor is 10m and
battery impedance is raised to 2 with a bead, then only
0.5% of the ripple current will flow in the battery.
MOSFET Selection
The Notebook battery charger synchronous buck converter
has the input voltage from the AC adapter output. The
maximum AC adapter output voltage does not exceed 25V.
Therefore, 30V logic MOSFET should be used.
The high side MOSFET must be able to dissipate the
conduction losses plus the switching losses. For the battery
charger application, the input voltage of the synchronous
buck converter is equal to the AC adapter output voltage,
which is relatively constant. The maximum efficiency is
achieved by selecting a high side MOSFET that has the
conduction losses equal to the switching losses. Switching
losses in the low-side FET are very small. The choice of
low-side FET is a trade-off between conduction losses
(rDS(ON)) and cost. A good rule of thumb for the rDS(ON) of
the low-side FET is 2x the rDS(ON) of the high-side FET.

The LGATE gate driver can drive sufficient gate current to
switch most MOSFETs efficiently. However, some FETs may
exhibit cross conduction (or shoot through) due to current
injected into the drain-to-source parasitic capacitor (Cgd) by
the high dV/dt rising edge at the phase node when the
high-side MOSFET turns on. Although LGATE sink current
(1.8A typical) is more than enough to switch the FET off
quickly, voltage drops across parasitic impedances between
LGATE and the MOSFET can allow the gate to rise during
the fast rising edge of voltage on the drain. MOSFETs with
low threshold voltage (<1.5V) and low ratio of Cgs/Cgd (<5)
and high gate resistance (>4) may be turned on for a few
ns by the high dV/dt (rising edge) on their drain. This can be
avoided with higher threshold voltage and Cgs/Cgd ratio.
Another way to avoid cross conduction is slowing the turn-on
speed of the high-side MOSFET by connecting a resistor
between the BOOT pin and the boot strap capacitor.
For the high-side MOSFET, the worst-case conduction
losses occur at the minimum input voltage as shown in
Equation 22:
V OUT

P Q1 conduction = ----------------  I BAT  r DS  ON 
V IN
(EQ. 22)
The optimum efficiency occurs when the switching losses
equal the conduction losses. However, it is difficult to
calculate the switching losses in the high-side MOSFET
since it must allow for difficult-to-quantify factors that
influence the turn-on and turn-off times. These factors
include the MOSFET internal gate resistance, gate charge,
threshold voltage, stray inductance, pull-up and pull-down
resistance of the gate driver.
The following switching loss calculation (Equation 23)
provides a rough estimate.

selection is based on the Figure of Merit (FOM), which is a
product of the total gate charge and ON-resistance. Usually,
the smaller the value of FOM, the higher the efficiency for
the same application.

occurs at minimum battery voltage and maximum input

Choose a low-side MOSFET that has the lowest possible
ON-resistance with a moderate-sized package (like the
SO-8) and is reasonably priced. The switching losses are
not an issue for the low-side MOSFET because it operates
at zero-voltage-switching.
Choose a Schottky diode in parallel with low-side MOSFET
Q2 with a forward voltage drop low enough to prevent the
low-side MOSFET Q2 body-diode from turning on during the
dead time. This also reduces the power loss in the high-side
MOSFET associated with the reverse recovery of the
low-side MOSFET Q2 body diode.
As a general rule, select a diode with DC current rating equal
to one-third of the load current. One option is to choose a
combined MOSFET with the Schottky diode in a single
package. The integrated packages may work better in
practice because there is less stray inductance due to a
short connection. This Schottky diode is optional and may be
removed if efficiency loss can be tolerated. In addition,
ensure that the required total gate drive current for the
selected MOSFETs is less than 24mA. So, the total gate
charge for the high-side and low-side MOSFETs is limited by
Equation 25:
1 GATE
Q GATE  ------------------f sw
(EQ. 25)
where the following are the peak gate-drive source/sink
current of Q1, respectively:
Where IGATE is the total gate drive current and should be
less than 24mA. Substituting IGATE = 24mA and fs = 300kHz
into Equation 25 yields that the total gate charge should be
less than 80nC. Therefore, the ISL6252 easily drives the
battery charge current up to 10A.
• Qgd: drain-to-gate charge
Snubber Design
• Qrr: total reverse recovery charge of the body-diode in
low-side MOSFET
ISL6252's buck regulator operates in discontinuous current
mode (DCM) when the load current is less than half the
peak-to-peak current in the inductor. After the low-side FET
turns off, the phase voltage rings due to the high impedance
with both FETs off. This can be seen in Figure 9. Adding a
snubber (resistor in series with a capacitor) from the phase
node to ground can greatly reduce the ringing. In some
situations a snubber can improve output ripple and
regulation.
• ILV: inductor valley current
• ILP: Inductor peak current
• Ig,sink
• Ig,source
Low switching loss requires low drain-to-gate charge Qgd.
Generally, the lower the drain-to-gate charge, the higher the
ON-resistance. Therefore, there is a trade-off between the
ON-resistance and drain-to-gate charge. Good MOSFET

Loop Compensation Design
This RMS ripple current must be smaller than the rated RMS
current in the capacitor datasheet. Non-tantalum chemistries
(ceramic, aluminum, or OSCON) are preferred due to their
resistance to power-up surge currents when the AC adapter
is plugged into the battery charger. For Notebook battery
charger applications, it is recommended that ceramic
capacitors or polymer capacitors from Sanyo be used due to
their small size and reasonable cost.
ISL6252 has three closed loop control modes. One controls
the output voltage when the battery is fully charged or
absent. A second controls the current into the battery when
charging and the third limits current drawn from the adapter.
The charge current and input current control loops are
compensated by a single capacitor on the ICOMP pin. The
voltage control loop is compensated by a network on the
VCOMP pin. Descriptions of these control loops and
guidelines for selecting compensation components will be
given in the following sections. Which loop controls the
output is determined by the minimum current buffer and the
minimum voltage buffer shown in Figure 1. These three
loops will be described separately.

circuit in Figure 2.

The ISL6252 uses several transconductance amplifiers (also

are voltage controlled voltage sources with gain expressed
as A = VOUT/VIN. Transconductance amps are voltage

The Pulse Width Modulator in the ISL6252 converts voltage
at VCOMP to a duty cycle by comparing VCOMP to a
triangle wave (duty = VCOMP/VP-P RAMP). The low-pass
filter formed by L and CO convert the duty cycle to a DC
output voltage (Vo = VDCIN*duty). In ISL6252, the triangle
wave amplitude is proportional to VDCIN. Making the ramp
amplitude proportional to DCIN makes the gain from
VCOMP to the PHASE output a constant 11 and is
independent of DCIN. For small signal AC analysis, the
battery is modeled by it’s internal resistance. The total output
resistance is the sum of the sense resistor and the internal
resistance of the MOSFETs, inductor and capacitor.

modulator (PWM), power stage, output filter and battery.

Voltage Control Loop
When the battery is charged to the voltage set by CELLS and
VADJ the voltage error amplifier (gm1) takes control of the
output (assuming that the adapter current is below the limit set
by ACLIM). The voltage error amplifier (gm1) discharges the
capacitor on VCOMP to limit the output voltage. The current to
the battery decreases as the cells charge to the fixed voltage
and the voltage across the internal battery resistance
decreases. As battery current decreases the 2 current error
amplifiers (gm2 and gm3) output their maximum current and
charge the capacitor on ICOMP to its maximum voltage
(limited to 1.2V above VCOMP). With high voltage on ICOMP,
the minimum voltage buffer output equals the voltage on
VCOMP. The voltage control loop is shown in Figure 22.

The resistance RO is a combination of MOSFET rDS(ON),
inductor DCR, RSENSE and the internal resistance of the
battery (normally between 50m and 200m). The worst
case for voltage mode control is when the battery is absent.
This results in the highest Q of the LC filter and the lowest
phase margin.
The compensation network consists of the voltage error
amplifier gm1 and the compensation network RVCOMP,
CVCOMP, which give the loop very high DC gain, a very low
frequency pole and a zero at fZERO1. Inductor current
information is added to the feedback to create a second
zero, fZERO2. The low pass filter RF2, CF2 between RSENSE

PCB Layout Considerations
Power and Signal Layers Placement on the PCB
As a general rule, power layers should be close together,
either on the top or bottom of the board, with signal layers on
the opposite side of the board. As an example, layer
arrangement on a 4-layer board is shown in the following:
1. Top Layer: signal lines, or half board for signal lines and
the other half board for power lines
2. Signal Ground
3. Power Layers: Power Ground
4. Bottom Layer: Power MOSFET, Inductors and other
Power traces
Separate the power voltage and current flowing path from
the control and logic level signal path. The controller IC will
stay on the signal layer, which is isolated by the signal
ground to the power signal traces.
Component Placement
The power MOSFET should be close to the IC so that the
gate drive signal, the LGATE, UGATE, PHASE, and BOOT,
traces can be short.
Place the components in such a way that the area under the
IC has less noise traces with high dv/dt and di/dt, such as
gate signals and phase node signals.
Signal Ground and Power Ground Connection
At minimum, a reasonably large area of copper, which will
shield other noise couplings through the IC, should be used
as signal ground beneath the IC. The best tie-point between
the signal ground and the power ground is at the negative
side of the output capacitor on each side, where there is little
noise; a noisy trace beneath the IC is not recommended.

PGND pin should be laid out to the negative side of the
relevant output capacitor with separate traces.The negative
side of the output capacitor must be close to the source node
of the bottom MOSFET. This trace is the return path of
LGATE.
PHASE Pin
This trace should be short, and positioned away from other
weak signal traces. This node has a very high dv/dt with a
voltage swing from the input voltage to ground. No trace
should be in parallel with it. This trace is also the return path
for UGATE. Connect this pin to the high-side MOSFET
source.
UGATE Pin
This pin has a square shape waveform with high dv/dt. It
provides the gate drive current to charge and discharge the
top MOSFET with high di/dt. This trace should be wide,
short, and away from other traces similar to the LGATE.
BOOT Pin
This pin’s di/dt is as high as the UGATE; therefore, this trace
should be as short as possible.
CSOP, CSON, CSIP and CSIN Pins
Accurate charge current and adapter current sensing is
critical for good performance. The current sense resistor
connects to the CSON and the CSOP pins through a low
pass filter with the filter capacitor very near the IC (see
Figure 2). Traces from the sense resistor should start at the
pads of the sense resistor and should be routed close
together, throughout the low pass filter and to the CSON and
CSON pins (see Figure 25). The CSON pin is also used as
the battery voltage feedback. The traces should be routed
away from the high dv/dt and di/dt pins like PHASE, BOOT
pins. In general, the current sense resistor should be close
to the IC. These guidelines should also be followed for the
adapter current sense resistor and CSIP and CSIN. Other
layout arrangements should be adjusted accordingly.

This pin stays high at enable mode and low at idle mode and
is relatively robust. Enable signals should refer to the signal
ground.
DCIN Pin
This pin connects to AC adapter output voltage, and should
be less noise sensitive.
Copper Size for the Phase Node
The capacitance of PHASE should be kept very low to
minimize ringing. It would be best to limit the size of the
PHASE node copper in strict accordance with the current
and thermal management of the application.
Identify the Power and Signal Ground
The input and output capacitors of the converters, the source
terminal of the bottom switching MOSFET PGND should
connect to the power ground. The other components should
connect to signal ground. Signal and power ground are tied
together at one point.
Clamping Capacitor for Switching MOSFET
It is recommended that ceramic capacitors be used closely
connected to the drain of the high-side MOSFET, and the
source of the low-side MOSFET. This capacitor reduces the
noise and the power loss of the MOSFET.
