The ACIN rising threshold is 3.2V (typ) with 57mV hysteresis. The ISL95871C includes all of the functions necessary to charge 1- to 4-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. A high efficiency synchronous buck converter is used to control the charging voltage up to 19.2V and charging current up to 8A. The ISL95871C also has input current limiting up to 11A. The Input current limit, charge current limit and charge voltage limit are set by internal registers written with SMBus. The ISL95871C “Typical Application Circuit” is shown in Figure 4. The ISL95871C charges the battery with constant charge current, set by the ChargeCurrent register, until the battery voltage rises to a voltage set by the ChargeVoltage register. The charger will then operate at a constant voltage. The adapter current is monitored and if the adapter current rises to the limit set by the InputCurrent register, battery charge current is reduced so the charger does not reduce the adapter current available to the system. The ISL95871C features a voltage regulation loop (VCOMP) and 2 current regulation loops (ICOMP). The VCOMP voltage regulation loop monitors VFB to limit the battery charge voltage. The ICOMP current regulation loop limits the battery charging current delivered to the battery to ensure that it never exceeds the current set by the ChargeCurrent register. The ICOMP current regulation loop also limits the input current drawn from the AC-adapter to ensure that it never exceeds the limit set by the InputCurrent register, and to prevent a system crash and AC-adapter overload. PWM Control The ISL95871C employs a fixed frequency PWM 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 input voltage changes. The duty cycle of the buck regulator is controlled by the lower of the voltages on ICOMP and VCOMP. The voltage on ICOMP and VCOMP are inputs to a Lower Voltage Buffer (LVB) whose output is the lower of the 2 inputs. The output of the LVB is compared to an internal 400kHz ramp to produce the Pulse Width Modulated signal that controls the UFET and LFET gate drivers. An internal clamp holds the higher of the 2 voltages (0.3V) above the lower voltage. This speeds the transition from voltage loop control to current loop control or vice versa. Current Measurement Use ICM to monitor the adapter 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 1: V ICM = 20 I INPUT R S1 = 20 V CSIP – V CSIN (EQ. 1) where IINPUT is the DC current drawn from the AC-adapter. It is recommended to have an RC filter at the ICM output for minimizing the switching noise. VDDP Regulator VDDP provides a 5.2V supply voltage from the internal LDO regulator from DCIN and can deliver up to 30mA of continuous current. The MOSFET drivers are powered by VDDP. VDDP also supplies power to VDD through a low pass filter as shown in Figure 4 on page 4. Bypass VDDP and VDD with a 1µF capacitor. VDDSMB Supply The VDDSMB input provides power to the SMBus interface. Connect VDDSMB to VDD, or apply an external supply to VDDSMB to keep the SMBus interface active while the supply to DCIN is removed. When VDDSMB is biased, the internal registers are maintained. Bypass VDDSMB to AGND with a 0.1µF or greater ceramic capacitor. Short Circuit Protection and 0V Battery Charging Since the battery charger will regulate the charge current to the limit set by the ChargeCurrent register, it automatically has short circuit protection and is able to provide the charge current to wake up an extremely discharged battery. Undervoltage trickle charge folds back current if there is a short circuit on the output. Undervoltage Detect and Battery Trickle Charging The ISL95871C can operate up to 99.6% duty cycle if the input voltage drops close to or below the battery charge voltage (drop out mode). The DC/DC converter has a timer to prevent the frequency from dropping into the audible frequency range. If the voltage at VFB falls below 2.5V, ISL95871C reduces the charge current limit to 128mA to trickle charge the battery. When the voltage rises above 2.7V, the charge current reverts to the programmed value in the ChargeCurrent register. To prevent boosting of the system bus voltage, the battery charger drives the lower FET in a way that prevents negative inductor current. Over-Temperature Protection An adaptive gate drive scheme is used to control the dead time between two switches. The dead time control circuit monitors the LFET gate driver output and prevents the upper side MOSFET from turning on until 20ns after the LFET gate driver falls below 1V VGS, preventing cross-conduction and shoot-through. The same occurs for LFET turn on. 12 If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, it stops charging. Once the die temperature drops below +125°C, charging will start-up again. Overvoltage Protection ISL95871C 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 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C point in the charge voltage register by more than 300mV, an internal comparator pulls VCOMP down and turns off both upper and lower FETs of the buck as in Figure 20. There is a delay of approximately 1µs between VOUT exceeding the OVP trip point and pulling VCOMP, LGATE and UGATE low. After UGATE and LGATE are turned OFF, inductor current continues to flow through the body diode of the lower FET and VOUT continues to rise until inductor current reaches zero. VOUT INDUCTOR CURRENT Data Validity The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the SCL, unless generating a START or STOP condition. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW. Refer to Figure 22. SDA SCL DATA LINE CHANGE STABLE OF DATA DATA VALID ALLOWED FIGURE 22. DATA VALIDITY START and STOP Conditions As shown in Figure 23, START condition is a HIGH-to-LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. The STOP condition is a LOW-to-HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. A STOP condition must be sent before each START condition. PHASE BATTERY CURRENT SDA FIGURE 20.

START AND STOP WAVEFORMS Acknowledge VDDSMB SMBUS MASTER S START CONDITION INPUT Each address and data transmission uses 9-clock pulses. The ninth pulse is the acknowledge bit (ACK). After the start condition, the master sends 7-slave address bits and a R/W bit during the next 8clock pulses. During the ninth clock pulse, the device that recognizes its own address holds the data line low to acknowledge. The acknowledge bit is also used by both the master and the slave to acknowledge receipt of register addresses and data (see Figure 24).

The control byte begins with a Start condition, followed by 7-bits of slave address (0001001 for the ISL95871C) followed by the R/W bit. The R/W bit is 0 for a write or 1 for a read. If any slave devices on the SMBus bus recognize their address, they will Acknowledge by pulling the serial data (SDA) line low for the last clock cycle in the control byte. If no slaves exist at that address or are not ready to communicate, the data line will be 1, indicating a Not Acknowledge condition. Write address = 0b00010010 (0X12). Once the control byte is sent, and the ISL95871C acknowledges it, the 2nd byte sent by the master must be a register address byte such as 0x14 for the ChargeCurrent register. The register address byte tells the ISL95871C which register the master will write or read. See Table 1 for details of the registers. Once the ISL95871C receives a register address byte it responds with an acknowledge. Byte Format Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long and must be followed by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the most significant bit first (MSB) and the least significant bit last (LSB). ISL95871C and SMBus The ISL95871C receives control inputs from the SMBus interface. The serial interface complies with the SMBus protocols as documented in the System Management Bus Specification V1.1, which can be downloaded from www.smbus.org. The ISL95871C uses the SMBus Read-Word and Write-Word protocols (see Figure 25) to communicate with the smart battery. The ISL95871C is an SMBus slave device and does not initiate communication on the bus. It responds to the addresses in the following. In addition, the ISL95871C has two identification (ID) registers: a 16-bit device ID register and a 16-bit manufacturer ID register. The data (SDA) and clock (SCL) pins have Schmitt-trigger inputs that can accommodate slow edges. Choose pull-up resistors for SDA and SCL to achieve rise times according to the SMBus specifications. The ISL95871C is controlled by the data written to the registers described in Table 1. Battery Charger Registers The ISL95871C supports five battery-charger registers that use either Write-Word or Read-Word protocols, as summarized in Table 1. ManufacturerID and DeviceID are “read only” registers and can be used to identify the ISL95871C. On the ISL95871C, ManufacturerID always returns 0x0049 (ASCII code for “I” for Intersil) and DeviceID always returns 0x0001. Enabling and Disabling Charging After applying power to ISL95871C, the internal registers contain their POR values (see Table 1). The POR values for charge current and charge voltage are 0x0000. These values disable charging. To enable charging, the ChargeCurrent register must be written with a number >0x007F and the ChargeVoltage register must be written with a number >0x000F. Charging can be disabled by writing 0x0000 to either of these registers. TABLE 1.

SMBus/ISL95871C READ AND WRITE PROTOCOL Setting Charge Voltage Charge voltage is set by writing a valid 16-bit number to the ChargeVoltage register. This 16-bit number translates to a 65.535V full-scale voltage. The ISL95871C ignores the first 4 LSBs and uses the next 11 bits to set the voltage DAC. The charge voltage range of the ISL95871C is 1.024V to 19.200V. Numbers requesting charge voltage greater than 19.200V result in a ChargeVoltage of 19.200V. All numbers requesting charge voltage below 1.024V result in a voltage set point of zero, which terminates charging. Upon initial power-up or reset, the ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers are reset to 0 and the charger remains shut down until valid numbers are sent to the ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers. Use the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 25) to write to the ChargeVoltage register. The register address for ChargeVoltage is 0x15. The 16-bit binary number formed by D15–D0 represents the charge voltage set point in mV. However, the resolution of the ISL95871C is 16mV because the D0–D3 bits are ignored as shown in Table 2. The D15 bit is also ignored because it is not needed to span the 1.024V to 19.2V range. Table 2 shows the mapping between the charge-voltage set point and the 16-bit number written to the ChargeVoltage register. The ChargeVoltage register can be read back to verify its contents. 15 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C TABLE 2.

Normally a 32768mV weight. 16 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C Setting Charge Current ISL95871C has a 16-bit ChargeCurrent register that sets the battery charging current. ISL95871C controls the charge current by controlling the CSOP-CSON voltage. The register’s LSB translates to 10µV at CSON-CSOP. With a 10m charge current sensing resistor (RS2 in Figure 4 on page 4), the LSB translates to 1mA charge current. The ISL95871C ignores the first 7 LSBs and uses the next 6 bits to control the current DAC. The charge-current range of the ISL95871C is 0A to 8.064A (using a 10m current-sense resistor). All numbers requesting charge current above 8.064A result in a current setting of 8.064A. All numbers requesting charge current between 0mA to 128mA result in a current setting of 0mA. The default charge current setting at Power-On Reset (POR) is 0mA. To stop charging, set ChargeCurrent to 0. Upon initial power-up, the ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers are reset to 0 and the charger is disabled. To start the charger, write valid numbers to the ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers. The ChargeCurrent register uses the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 25). The register code for ChargeCurrent is 0x14 (0b00010100). Table 3 shows the mapping between the charge current set point and the ChargeCurrent number. The ChargeCurrent register can be read back to verify its contents. The ISL95871C includes a fault limiter for low battery conditions. If the battery voltage is less than 2.5V, the charge current is temporarily set to 128mA. The ChargeCurrent register is preserved and becomes active again when the battery voltage is higher than 2.7V. This function effectively provides a foldback current limit, which protects the charger during short circuit and overload. TABLE 3.

When the input current exceeds the set input current limit, the ISL95871C decreases the charge current to provide priority to system load current. As the system load rises, the available charge current drops linearly to zero. Thereafter, the total input current can increase to the limit of the AC-adapter. The internal amplifier compares the differential voltage between CSIP and CSIN to a scaled voltage set by the InputCurrent register. The total input current is the sum of the device supply current, the charger input current, and the system load current. The total input current can be estimated as shown in Equation 2. I INPUT = I SYSTEM + I CHARGE V BATTERY V IN (EQ. 2) Where is the efficiency of the DC/DC converter (typically 85% to 95%). The ISL95871C has a 16-bit InputCurrent register that translates to a 2mA LSB and a 131.071A full scale current using a 10m current-sense resistor (RS1 in Figure 4 on page 4). Equivalently, the 16-bit InputCurrent number sets the voltage across CSIP and CSIN inputs in 20µV per LSB increments. To set the input current limit use the SMBus to write a 16-bit InputCurrent register using the data format listed in Table 4. The InputCurrent register uses the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 25). The register code for InputCurrent is 0x3F (0b00111111). The InputCurrent register can be read back to verify its contents. The ISL95871C ignores the first 7 LSBs and uses the next 6 bits to control the input-current DAC. The input-current range of the ISL95871C is from 256mA to 11.004A. All 16-bit numbers requesting input current above 11.004A result in an input-current setting of 11.004A. All 16-bit numbers requesting input current between 0mA to 256mA result in an input-current setting of 0mA. The default input-current-limit setting at POR is 256mA. When choosing the current-sense resistor RS1, carefully calculate its power rating. Take into account variations in the system’s load current and the overall accuracy of the sense amplifier. Note that the voltage drop across RS1 contributes additional power loss, which reduces efficiency. System currents normally fluctuate as portions of the system are powered up or put to sleep. Without input current regulation, the input source must be able to deliver the maximum system current and the maximum charger-input current. By using the input-current-limit circuit, the output-current capability of the AC wall adapter can be lowered, reducing system cost. TABLE 4.

ISL95871C will terminate charging if the charger has not received a write to the ChargeVoltage or ChargeCurrent register within 175s or if the SCL line is low for more than 25ms. If a time-out occurs, either ChargeVoltage or ChargeCurrent registers must be written to re-enable charging. ISL95871C Data Byte Order Each register in ISL95871C contains 16-bits or 2-, 8-bit bytes. All data sent on the SMBus is in 8 bit bytes and 2 bytes must be written or read from each register in ISL95871C. The order in which these bytes are transmitted appears reversed from the way they are normally written. The LOW byte is sent first and the HI byte is sent second. For example, When writing 0x41A0, 0xA0 is written first and 0x41 is sent second. Writing to the Internal Registers In order to set the charge current, charge voltage or input current, valid 16-bit numbers must be written to ISL95871C’s internal registers via the SMBus. To write to a register in the ISL95871C, the master sends a control byte with the R/W bit set to 0, indicating a write. If it receives an Acknowledge from the ISL95871C it sends a register address byte setting the register to be written (i.e., 0x14 for the ChargeCurrent register). The ISL95871C will respond with an Acknowledge. The master then sends the lower data byte to be written into the desired register. The ISL95871C will respond with an Acknowledge. The master then sends the higher data byte to be written into the desired register. The ISL95871C will respond with an Acknowledge. The master then issues a Stop condition, indicating to the ISL95871C that the current transaction is complete. Once this transaction completes the ISL95871C will begin operating at the new current or voltage. The ISL95871C does not support writing more than one register per transaction. Reading from the Internal Registers The ISL95871C has the ability to read from 5 internal registers. Prior to reading from an internal register, the master must first select the desired register by writing to it and sending the registers address byte. This process begins by the master sending a control byte with the R/W bit set to 0, indicating a write. Once it receives an Acknowledge from the ISL95871C it sends a register address byte representing the internal register it wants to read. The ISL95871C will respond with an Acknowledge. The master must then respond with a Stop condition. After the Stop condition, the master follows with a new Start condition then sends a new control byte with the ISL95871C slave address and the R/W bit set to 1, indicating a read. The ISL95871C will Acknowledge then send the lower byte stored in that register. After receiving the byte, the master Acknowledges by holding SDA low during the 9th clock pulse. ISL95871C then sends the higher byte stored in the register. After the second byte neither device holds SDA low (No Acknowledge). The master will then produce a Stop condition to end the read transaction. 19 The ISL95871C does not support reading more than 1 register per transaction. Application Information The following battery charger design refers to the “Typical Application Circuit” (see Figure 4 on page 4), where typical battery configuration of 3S2P 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 decreases 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. Thus, 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 for ±15% ripple current can be calculated from Equation 3: V IN MAX L = ------------------------------------------------------4 F SW 0.3 I L MAX (EQ. 3) Where VIN,MAX is the maximum input voltage, FSW is the switching frequency and IL,MAX is the max DC current in the inductor. For VIN,MAX = 20V, VBAT = 12.6V, IBAT,MAX = 4.5A, and fs = 400kHz, the calculated inductance is 9.3µH. Choosing the closest standard value gives L = 10µH. Ferrite cores are often the best choice since they are optimized at 400kHz to 600kHz operation with low core loss. The core must be large enough not to saturate at the peak inductor current IPeak in Equation 4: 1 I PEAK = I L MAX + --- I RIPPLE 2 (EQ. 4) 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 5: 5 11 R S2 F CO = -----------------------------2 L (EQ. 5) Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor in parallel with the battery is used to absorb the high frequency switching ripple current and smooth the FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C output voltage. The RMS value of the output ripple current IRMS is given by Equation 6: V IN MAX I RMS1 = ---------------------------------- D 1 – D 12 L F SW (EQ. 6) (EQ. 7) For VIN,MAX = 19V, VBAT = 16.8V, L = 10µH, and fs = 400kHz, the maximum RMS current is 0.19A. A typical 20µF 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 400kHz 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. Snubber Design ISL95871C'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 15 on page 10. 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. The snubber capacitor should be approximately twice the parasitic capacitance on the phase node. This can be estimated by operating at very low load current (100mA) and measuring the ringing frequency. CSNUB and RSNUB can be calculated from Equations 8 and 9: 2 C SNUB = -----------------------------------2 2F ring L R SNUB = (EQ. 10) IN 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. Thus, the duty cycle varies from 0.53 for the minimum battery voltage of 7.5V (2.5V/Cell) to 0.88 for the maximum battery voltage of 12.6V. The maximum RMS value of the output ripple current occurs at the duty cycle of 0.5 and is expressed as Equation 7: V IN MAX I RMS1 max = -----------------------------------------4 12 L F SW V OUT V IN – V OUT I RMS2 = I BAT -------------------------------------------------V where IBAT is the battery charging current. 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. Loop Compensation Design ISL95871C 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 the “Functional Block Diagram” on page 4. These three loops will be described separately. Transconductance Amplifiers GMV, GMI and GMS ISL95871C uses several transconductance amplifiers (also known as gm amps). Most commercially available op amps are voltage controlled voltage sources with gain expressed as A = VOUT/VIN. gm amps are voltage controlled current sources with gain expressed as gm = IOUT/VIN. gm will appear in some of the equations for poles and zeros in the compensation. PWM Gain Fm The Pulse Width Modulator in the ISL95871C 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 ISL95871C, 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 its internal resistance. The total output resistance is the sum of the sense resistor and the internal resistance of the MOSFETs, inductor and capacitor. Figure 26 shows the small signal model of the pulse width modulator (PWM), power stage, output filter and battery. (EQ. 8) 2L ----------------C SNUB (EQ. 9) Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor absorbs the ripple current from the synchronous buck converter, which is given by Equation 10: 20 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C 11 RAMP GEN VRAMP = VIN/11 + S CO PWM INPUT 0.25 + - CA2 GMI + DACI CICOMP L 11 RL_DCR PWM INPUT CO RBAT FIGURE 26. SMALL SIGNAL AC MODEL In most cases, the battery resistance is very small (<200m) resulting in a very low Q in the output filter. This results in a frequency response from the input of the PWM to the inductor current with a single pole at the frequency calculated in Equation 11: (EQ. 11) The output capacitor creates a pole at a very high frequency due to the small resistance in parallel with it. The frequency of this pole is calculated in Equation 12: 1 F POLE2 = -----------------------------------2 C o R BAT (EQ. 12) Charge Current Control Loop When the battery is less than fully charged, the voltage error amplifier goes to its maximum output (limited to 0.3V above ICOMP) and the ICOMP voltage controls the loop through the minimum voltage buffer. Figure 28 shows the charge current control loop. The compensation capacitor (CICOMP) gives the error amplifier (GMI) a pole at a very low frequency (<<1Hz) and a zero at FZ1. FZ1 is created by the 0.25*CA2 output added to ICOMP.

The filter roll-off frequency should be between the crossover frequency and the switching frequency (~100kHz). RF2 should be small (<10 to minimize offsets due to leakage current into CSOP. The filter cutoff frequency is calculated using Equation 15: 1 F FILTER = ---------------------------------------- 2 C F2 R F2 (EQ. 15) The crossover frequency is determined by the DC gain of the modulator and output filter and the pole in Equation 12. The DC gain is calculated in Equation 16 and the crossover frequency is calculated with Equation 17. The Bode plot of the loop gain, the compensator gain and the power stage gain is shown in Figure 28. 11 R S2 A DC = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R S2 + r DS ON + R DCR + R BAT (EQ. 16) 11 R S2 F CO = A DC F POLE = ---------------------2 L (EQ. 17) Adapter Current Limit Control Loop If the combined battery charge current and system load current draws current that equals the adapter current limit set by the InputCurrent register, ISL95871C will reduce the current to the battery and/or reduce the output voltage to hold the adapter current at the limit. Above the adapter current limit, the minimum current buffer equals the output of GMS and ICOMP controls the charger output. Figure 29 shows the adapter current limit control loop. Placing this zero at a frequency equal to the pole calculated in Equation 12 will result in maximum gain at low frequencies and phase margin near 90°. If the zero is at a higher frequency (smaller CICOMP), the DC gain will be higher but the phase margin will be lower. Use a capacitor on ICOMP that is equal to or greater than the value calculated in Equation 14. The factor of 1.5 is to ensure the zero is at a frequency lower than the pole including tolerance variations. 21 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C 60 COMPENSATOR MODULATOR LOOP FZERO 40 GAIN (dB) 20 across the internal battery resistance decreases. As battery current decreases, the 2 current error amplifiers (GMI and GMS) output their maximum current and charge the capacitor on ICOMP to its maximum voltage (limited to 0.3V above VCOMP). With high voltage on ICOMP, the minimum voltage buffer output equals the voltage on VCOMP.

ADAPTER CURRENT LIMIT LOOP The loop response equations, bode plots and the selection of CICOMP are the same as the charge current control loop with loop gain reduced by the duty cycle and the ratio of RS1/RS2. In other words, if RS1 = RS2 and the duty cycle D = 50%, the loop gain will be 6dB lower than the loop gain in Figure 29. This gives lower crossover frequency and higher phase margin in this mode. If RS1/RS2 = 2 and the duty cycle is 50% then the adapter current loop gain will be identical to the gain in Figure 29. A filter should be added between RS1 and CSIP and CSIN to reduce switching noise. The filter roll off frequency should be between the crossover frequency and the switching frequency (~100kHz). Voltage Control Loop When the battery is charged to the voltage set by ChargeVoltage register the voltage error amplifier (GMV) takes control of the output (assuming that the adapter current is below the limit set by ACLIM). The voltage error amplifier (GMV) discharges the cap on VCOMP to limit the output voltage. The current to the battery decreases as the cells charge to the fixed voltage and the voltage 22 Output LC Filter Transfer Functions The gain from the phase node to the system output and battery depend entirely on external components. Typical output LC filter response is shown in Figure 31. Transfer function ALC(s) is shown in Equation 18: s 1 – ------------ ESR A LC = -------------------------------------------------------- s2 s ----------- + ----------------------- + 1 Q DP LC 1 ESR = ---------------------------- R ESR C o 1 LC = ---------------------- L Co (EQ. 18) L Q = R o -----Co The resistance RO is a combination of MOSFET rDS(ON), inductor DCR, RS2 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 GMV 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 RS2 and ISL95871C add a pole at FFILTER. R3 and R4 are internal divider resistors that set the DC output voltage. For a 3-cell battery, R3 = 500k and R4 = 100k. The equations following relate the compensation network’s poles, zeros and gain to the components in Figure 30. Figure 32 shows an asymptotic Bode plot of the DC/DC converter’s gain vs frequency. It is strongly recommended that FZERO1 is approximately 30% of FLC and FZERO2 is approximately 70% of FLC.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF THE LC OUTPUT FILTER COMPENSATOR MODULATOR LOOP FPOLE1 FLC 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 below: 60 40 (EQ. 26) 500k FREQUENCY (Hz) 1.

Place the VIN capacitors as close as possible to the VIN and PGND pins. The power inductor, charge current sense resistor and output caps are the second highest priority. A layer of power ground under these components and high current pins on ISL95871C (pins 9 through 33) will keep current loops small and minimize EMI radiated from this high current loops. Small signals such as current sense and compensation should be placed near their connections to ISL95871C and have an area of AGND “quiet ground”) on the adjacent layer. An area of quiet ground should be on the layer under ISL95871C pins 1 through 8 and 34 through 50. 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. 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 FN6856.2 June 8, 2011 ISL95871C 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. AGND and VDD Pin At least one high quality ceramic decoupling capacitor should be used to cross these two pins. The decoupling capacitor can be put close to the IC. PGND Pins 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 LFET gate drive. PHASE Pins Connect this pin to the output inductor. 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. BOOT Pin This pin carries gate drive current and trace should be as short as possible.

CURRENT SENSE RESISTOR LAYOUT 24 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 4 on page 4). Traces from the sense resistor should start at the pads of the sense resistor and should be routed close together, through the low pass filter and to the CSOP and CSON pins (see Figure 33). 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. 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 as close as possible to the ISL95871C. Clamping Capacitor for Switching MOSFET It is recommended that ceramic capacitors be used closely connected to VIN and PGND (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 MOSFETs.
