SAA1501T
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Protections
The most important function of the SAA1501T is the
charge account in rechargeable battery systems. Both
NiCd and NiMH batteries in all sizes can be used. The
system can operate alone as a charge monitor with a
charge amount display function or, can operate in
conjunction with a charger. If the SAA1501T operates
together with a charger, it delivers a control signal at output
EN, for charge current regulation or for battery voltage
regulation.
In the temperature control block, the absolute temperature
is used as a protection to end the fast charge cycle. Fast
charging at high temperature is not permitted because of
degradation of the battery cells. If the batteries are
disconnected, an open-battery condition is recognized and
the SAA1501T enters the standby mode.
Mode detection
The mode detector detects whether there are any charge
or discharge currents, whether the system is powered,
whether loads are connected or whether the system is in
the standby mode. If power is connected, the power-on
LED (POL) is on. In the standby mode, the Coulomb
counter will count down in accordance with the
self-discharge speed of the batteries, which is temperature
controlled. The following subsections describe the various
blocks of the block diagram in more detail.
Fast charging systems and charge current regulation
The SAA1501T is especially designed to be used in fast
charging systems. In fast charging systems, the charge
time is lowered by raising the charge current. Signal EN
controls the charger current. The counters register the
state of charge of the batteries and at the 80% level the
charge current is reduced via a smaller duty cycle
regulation of signal EN. The second (slow) level fully
charges the batteries which is not possible with the first
(fast) level. After the slow charge mode the counter
switches over to an even smaller duty cycle of EN and thus
enters the third (trickle) charge mode, to overcome the
self-discharge of the batteries.
Supply and reference
During the period when VCC rises from 0 V to the internal
reset level, all counters are reset. The internal reset is
released before VCC reaches 1.7 V. The operating supply
voltage ranges from 2 V to the open battery level of
4.3 V (min). The characteristics are guaranteed at
VCC = 3 V. In order to protect the SAA1501T against high
supply voltages during open battery in a flyback converter,
a voltage clamp circuit is made active at 6.35 V (typ). The
clamping current must not exceed 80 mA. A band gap
reference block is included to generate accurate voltages
i.e. for the oscillator. Moreover, together with Rref, accurate
currents are generated which are used in the I/F and V/I
converters and the oscillator block. In the standby mode
only the oscillator and the digital parts are active to limit the
discharge current of the batteries to a current level of less
than 100 mA. The circuits that are needed temporarily are
switched on and off during standby (see “Timing
characteristics” tsom).
Current sensing and charge account
The charge current is sensed by means of a very low
resistance (e.g. 70 mΩ) sense resistor Rsc (see Fig.8) to
save power at high charge rates. Via the V/I charge
converter and external resistor RCCC (see Fig.8), the
sensed voltage is converted into a charge current Ic (the
same is applicable for the discharge current). In the I/F
converter the charge current is converted into a frequency
for up-counting the counter. For the discharge current (Id)
the converted frequency is used for down-counting. The
up and down counting is registered in counters CNT1 and
CNT2, depending on the actual charge and discharge
current levels of the batteries. This is called dynamic
charge account.
Voltage-to-current charge and discharge
Charge display
In the V/I converter, the input charge current is translated
into acceptable levels for the circuit. The conversion
formula is:
( I ch arg e × R sc )
I c = -------------------------------------- ; where RCCC > Rsc (see Fig.7)
R CCC
The charge amount represented by the Coulomb counter
can be displayed via an LCD screen or via an LED
bargraph. If the charge amount is reduced to 0%, the
battery low indicator (BLI) LED is turned on at the end of a
battery discharge session. A flashing BLI, in combination
with a repeating buzzer alarm, informs the user about the
low charge state. A new charge session should then be
started.

SAA1501T
With RCCC, the charge efficiency can be manipulated
depending on the charge level. The restriction of the
SAA1501T is a maximum average charge current of 60 µA
and a minimum momentary charge current of 0.6 µA. The
same formula is applicable for the discharge current. The
discharge efficiency can now also be changed by RDCC
depending on the discharge current levels, but
independent of the charge current. As both sense levels
are referenced to ground, the sensing elements could be
combined into one. The outputs are used combined as
1⁄ × (I − I ) in the I/F converter and combined as (I − I )

in the pulse width modulator block and made separately
available in the mode detector. The conversion is made
lower by a factor of 6 in the I/F converter block, thereby
enabling the use of poor leakage capacitors on pin 4. All
V/I converter pins are sensitive to capacitive loading
(Cout × Rconv < 1 ms), the conversion resistors should be
mounted as close as possible to the output pins.
to the trickle charge mode to overcome the self-discharge
of the batteries. The top-up charge volume of
CNT2 = 0.2 × CNT1 = 0.2 C (where Q is rated as Ampere
hours of the battery). The slow and trickle charge current
levels are dependent on the k-factor. Signal EN controls
the external charger e.g. TEA1400 (see Fig.8). When an
LED bargraph display is used, the LED currents are also
considered as a battery discharge current, and therefore
influence the duty cycle of the charge current regulation
signal EN. The SAA1501T also enables temperature
protection. In the event that the battery temperature
exceeds a certain maximum temperature level
(Tbattery > Tmax), which can be set by an external NTC
resistor, the SAA1501T switches to the slow charge mode.
In the standby mode (self-discharge mode), which is
recognized by the SAA1501T in the mode detector when
both the charge and discharge currents are zero
(Ic = Id = 0), the self-discharge of the batteries is registered
by counting down in 200 days (based on fosc = 4 kHz) if
Tbattery < Tself or in 100 days (based on fosc = 4 kHz) if
Tbattery > Tself. Tself is also set by means of an external NTC
resistor.
I/F converter
This block produces up-counts while charging and
down-counts while discharging. The I/F converter
translates the charge/discharge currents into a frequency.
This frequency is determined by
( I c ( d ) × R sense × 6 )
f = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------( C CC × ∆V osc × R CCC ( RDCC ) )
Band gap generation
From the band gap voltage block, two reference voltages
are derived Vref and Vmax. Voltage Vref at pin Rref sets the
reference currents, Iref1 (I/F converter); Iref2 (mode
detector) and Iref3 (oscillator). Voltage Vmax sets the
current Imax which is used in the pulse width modulation
block to accurately control the charge current.
During the time period ‘t’, the charge current, expressed as
a ‘Charge Parcel’, will be counted in the Coulomb counters
(CNT1 and CNT2). During discharge the ‘Charge Parcel’ is
the product of the discharge current and the ‘t’ from the I/F
converter generated frequency. The momentary contents
of the Coulomb counter is a multiple of the ‘Charge
Parcels’.
Charge current regulation
While charging, the SAA1501T produces a charge current
regulation signal EN in the pulse width modulation block
which is used for controlling an external charger. This
digital signal EN is derived from the signal produced at pin
Ccy. The duty cycle is determined by
Coulomb counters CNT1 and CNT2
The SAA1501T has been designed for average maximum
charge and discharge current levels of 5 C and minimum
charge and discharge current levels of 0.05 C. This means
that counter CNT1 will be full, or empty, after a minimum
time period of 12 minutes at maximum charge and
discharge currents at the recommended oscillator
frequency. Higher charge and discharge rates than 5 C
are possible, but only by changing the oscillator frequency.
It should be noted that the self-discharge time and the
display functions are influenced by a higher oscillator
frequency. The SAA1501T enables top-up charging in
order to account for the decrease of charge efficiency at
high charge rates. The SAA1501T switches to the slow
charge mode at full recognition when CNT1 is at its
maximum. As soon as the batteries are completely full
(when CNT2 is at its maximum), the SAA1501T switches

Mode detector
Prescaler/controller
This block differentiates between the available modes of
operation. The modes are given below:
In the prescaler, a new system clock is created (CLK)
which is used for all timing blocks. Many frequencies are
derived from the basic oscillator at the standard frequency
of 4 kHz (1/Tosc), such as the self-discharge times and the
modulation frequency for the buzzer, the drive voltage
frequency for the LCD screen and the pulse trains for
temperature measurements and power/load sensing
measurements in the mode detector.
Charge mode; power charge (POCH).
Discharge mode; battery load (BATLD).
Power load mode (POLD); the batteries are charged
while the load is also active.
Self discharge mode; (STANDBY).
To detect power in a regulated system (see Fig.8) the EN
signal is used for sensing. The POCH mode is recognized
when the converted charge current Ic > Iref2 (when in the
power mode, change of mode can only be recognised if
EN is HIGH). The BATLD mode is recognized when
Id > Iref2; the POLD mode is recognized when Ic > Iref2 and
Id > Iref2; the standby mode is recognized when Ic < Iref2
and Id < Iref2. In the standby mode, if the advised frequency
(4 kHz) is applied, it takes 0.5 s to determine another
mode (in all other modes, a change of mode is sensed
continuously). In all other modes an eventual change of
mode is done continuously. To save supply current during
standby, the V/I converters are switched off. With the
specific fixed intervals, the SAA1501T checks whether
power or load is connected again. This checking is
synchronized by the sensing signal of the V/I converters.
The SAA1501T can handle a DC charge current as well as
a discontinuous charge current (SMSP charger). The load
current can also be DC or interrupted, e.g. produced by a
motor. The digital filtering of both signals, to overcome
faulty mode detections, restricts the conditions in which
power and load are recognized. Because of the very
sensitive input detection level of the mode detector for a
charge current (power) in combination with the high
interference levels of motor driving, the detection level for
power (Ic > Iref2) is raised by a factor of 25 when the
batteries are loaded.
Temperature
In the temperature control block two temperature
measurements are performed. In order to switch off fast
charging when the battery temperature exceeds an
adjustable maximum temperature (Tmax), a maximum
temperature measurement is performed. A second
temperature measurement is performed in the standby
mode. This temperature measurement is input to the
temperature control block to switch over the self-discharge
rate from a count down of 200 days (based on fosc = 4 kHz)
if Tbattery < Tself, to a count down rate of 100 days (based
on fosc = 4 kHz) if Tbattery > Tself. In all modes the
temperature is measured periodical. The temperature
circuit which controls the above mentioned functions is a
bridge configuration synthesis, as illustrated in Fig.3.
Oscillator
As the oscillator has to operate in all modes, including the
standby mode, the current consumption of the oscillator
must be very low. The same applies for the band gap
generator block, because the band gap delivers accurate
reference voltages and currents to the oscillator block.
Apart from the low current consumption, the accuracy of
the period time is important. The period time of the
oscillator is:
( VH – VL)
t osc = 2 × C osc × -------------------------- = 5.6 × C osc × R ref

The BLI sequence is as follows. If during discharge the
charge state falls below 0%, the red BLI LED is turned on.
Changing mode from discharge to standby means that the
BLI LED and the buzzer (BUZ) are activated as indicated
in Fig.4. If after a 0% passing recharge is activated, the red
BLI LED is turned on again for as long as the counter
remains below 10%. Switch-over in the 0 to 10% range to
standby will activate BLI and BUZ again.
Display decoder driver
The counters are used to output the battery charge
amount via a decoder and driver stage to the display
outputs L100, L80, L60, L40 and L20 to drive an LCD
screen or an LED bargraph. A 64 Hz (based on
fosc = 4 kHz) block signal at output BP (back plane) must
be connected to the back plane of the LCD bar. If pin BP
is connected to ground, the display outputs L20 to L100
will produce signals for an LED bargraph. Output signal
POL (power-on LED) indicates when the batteries are in
the charge mode. When the counter is not at its maximum
state, POL is on and flickers at 2 Hz (based on
fosc = 4 kHz) when the counter is at its maximum. The
waveforms illustrated in Fig.4 depict operation of the
monitor display. The outputs BLI (battery low indication),
BUZ (buzzer) and FULL indicate the extreme status
(empty or full) of the counters and the batteries. The
waveforms of the signals BLI and BUZ if one switches over
from BATLD to standby when BLI is active, are given in
Fig.4.
The LEDs of the LED bargraph are activated as a result of
each operational mode change, starting with a step-up
pattern. Step-up means that LEDs are activated
successively one after the other, in accordance with the
charge status each 1⁄8 s (based on fosc = 4 kHz). After the
step-up, the LEDs will be on for 8 s (based on
fosc = 4 kHz), except for the POCH mode, where the LEDs
will be on continuously to inform the user about the charge
state of the batteries. The LCD display is, apart from the
LED mode, always visible.
Figure 5 shows the legend for Fig.6. Figure 6 shows the
operation of the monitor display.

a test pin. Raising the voltage above 1 V during the set-up
time will activate the test. The test mode can only be
started in the standby mode. In the test mode all counters
are reset and will be active successively in the sequence
BLI, L20, L40, L60, L80, L100 and FULL with an interval
period determined by Tosc. The test mode can be exited via
the following methods:
Open battery protection
Open battery protection is active when VCC = 4.5 V (typ.).
The SAA1501T will then react as if the system is in the
standby mode. This means that the LEDs are turned off in
the LED mode, in the LCD mode the flickering is stopped
and the enable pin (EN) is switched to floating.

applied to the substrate by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before device placement.
SOLDERING
Plastic small-outline packages
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt, infrared, and
vapour-phase reflow. Dwell times vary between 50 and
300 s according to method. Typical reflow temperatures
range from 215 to 250 °C.
BY WAVE
During placement and before soldering, the component
must be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. After curing the
adhesive, the component can be soldered. The adhesive
can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 min at 45 °C.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder bath is
10 s, if allowed to cool to less than 150 °C within 6 s.
Typical dwell time is 4 s at 250 °C.
REPAIRING SOLDERED JOINTS (BY HAND-HELD SOLDERING
IRON OR PULSE-HEATED SOLDER TOOL)
Fix the component by first soldering two, diagonally
opposite, end pins. Apply the heating tool to the flat part of
the pin only. Contact time must be limited to 10 s at up to
300 °C. When using proper tools, all other pins can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 s at between 270
and 320 °C. (Pulse-heated soldering is not recommended
for SO packages.)
A modified wave soldering technique is recommended
using two solder waves (dual-wave), in which a turbulent
wave with high upward pressure is followed by a smooth
laminar wave. Using a mildly-activated flux eliminates the
need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
For pulse-heated solder tool (resistance) soldering of VSO
packages, solder is applied to the substrate by dipping or
by an extra thick tin/lead plating before package
placement.
BY SOLDER PASTE REFLOW
Reflow soldering requires the solder paste (a suspension
of fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be
