AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger General Description Features The AAT3682 is a lithium-ion/polymer linear battery charger. It is designed for compact portable applications with a single cell battery. The AAT3682 precisely regulates battery charge voltage and charge current, and offers an integrated pass device, minimizing the number of external components required. • • • • • • • • • The AAT3682 charges the battery in three different phases: preconditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. In preconditioning mode, the charge current has two different levels and is controlled by one external pin. Battery charge temperature and charge state are carefully monitored for fault conditions. A battery charge stable monitor output pin is provided to indicate the battery charge status through a display LED or interface to a system controller. The AAT3682 has the sleep mode option for when the input supply is removed. In this mode, it draws only 2.0µA of typical current. • • • • • The AAT3682 is available in a 16-pin QFN44 and is specified over the -20°C to +70°C temperature range.

It is a full-featured battery management system IC with multiple levels of power savings, system communication, and protection integrated inside. Refer to the block diagram above and the flow chart and typical charge profile graph (Figures 1 and 2) in this section. Before the start of charging, the AAT3682 checks several conditions in order to maintain a safe charging environment. The input supply must be above the minimum operating voltage, or under-voltage lockout threshold (VUVLO), for the charging sequence to begin. Also, the cell temperature, as reported by a thermistor connected to the TS pin, must be within the proper window for safe charging. 8 3682.2005.02.1.1 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger Power On Reset Power On Reset UVLO No VCC > VUVLO Shut Down Shut Down Mode Mode Yes Temperature Temperature Fault Fault No Temperature Test TS > VTS1 TS < VTS2 Yes Preconditioning Test VMIN > VBAT Yes Low Current Conditioning Low Current Charge Conditioning (Trickle Charge) Charge No Current Phase Test VCH > VBAT Yes Current Current Charging Charging Mode Mode No Voltage Phase Test VTERM < I BAT RSENSE Yes Voltage Voltage Charging Charging Mode Mode No < VRCH Charge Complete Charge Complete Latch Off Latch Off Figure 1: AAT3682 Operational Flow Chart.

If the cell voltage is below VMIN, the AAT3682 begins preconditioning the cell. This is performed by charging the cell with 10% of the programmed constant-current amount. For example, if the programmed charge current is 500mA, then the preconditioning mode (trickle charge) current will be 50mA. Cell preconditioning is a safety precaution for deeply discharged cells and, furthermore, limits power dissipation in the pass transistor when the voltage across the device is largest. The AAT3682 features an optional T2X mode, which allows faster trickle-charging at approximately two times the default rate. This mode is selected by connecting the T2X pin to VSS. If an over-temperature fault is triggered, the fast trickle-charge will be latched off, and the AAT3682 will continue at the default 10% charge current. (recharge threshold voltage) or the AAT3682 is reset by cycling the input supply through the power-on sequence. Falling below VRCH signals the IC that it is time to initiate a new charge cycle. Constant Current Charging Charge Inhibit The cell preconditioning continues until the voltage on the BAT pin reaches VMIN. At this point, the AAT3682 begins constant-current charging (fast charging). Current level for this mode is programmed using a current sense resistor RSENSE between the VCC and CSI pins. The CSI pin monitors the voltage across RSENSE to provide feedback for the current control loop. The AAT3682 remains in constant current charge mode until the battery reaches the voltage regulation point, VCH. The AAT3682 charging cycle is fully automatic; however, it is possible to stop the device from charging even when all conditions are met for proper charging. Switching the TS pin to either VIN or GND will force the AAT3682 to turn off the pass device and wait for a voltage between the low and high temperature voltage thresholds. Constant Voltage Charging When the battery voltage reaches VCH during constant-current mode, the AAT3682 transitions to constant-voltage mode. The regulation voltage is factory programmed to 4.2V. In constant-voltage operation, the AAT3682 monitors the cell voltage and terminates the charging cycle when the voltage across RSENSE decreases to approximately 10mV. Charge Cycle Termination, Recharge Sequence After the charge cycle is complete, the AAT3682 shuts off the pass device and automatically enters power-saving sleep mode. Either of two possible conditions will bring the IC out of sleep mode: the battery voltage at the BAT pin drops below VRCH 10 Sleep Mode When the input supply is disconnected, the device automatically enters power-saving sleep mode. Only consuming an ultra-low 2µA current, the AAT3682 minimizes battery drain when it is not charging. This feature is particularly useful in applications where the input supply level may fall below the battery charge or under-voltage lockout level. In such cases, where the AAT3682 input voltage drops, the device will enter the sleep mode and automatically resume charging once the input supply has recovered from its fault condition. This makes the AAT3682 well suited for USB battery charger applications. Resuming Charge and the VRCH Threshold The AAT3682 will automatically resume charging under most conditions when a battery charge cycle is interrupted. Events such as an input supply interruption or under voltage, removal and replacement of the battery under charge, or charging a partially drained battery are all possible. The AAT3682 will monitor the battery voltage and automatically resume charging in the appropriate mode based upon the measured battery cell voltage. This feature is useful for systems with an unstable input supply, which could be the case when powering a charger from a USB bus supply. It is also beneficial for charging or "topping off" partially discharged batteries. The only restriction on resuming charge of a battery is that the battery cell voltage must be below the battery recharge voltage threshold (VRCH) specification. There is VRCH threshold hysteresis built into the charge control 3682.2005.02.1.1 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger system. This is done to prevent the charger from erroneously turning on and off once a battery charge cycle is complete. For example, the AAT3682 has a typical VRCH threshold of 4.1V. A battery under charge is above 4.1V, but is still in the constant voltage mode because it has not yet reached 4.2V to complete the charge cycle. If the battery is removed and then placed back on the charger, the charge cycle will not resume until the battery voltage drops below the VRCH threshold. In another case, a battery under charge is in the constant current mode and the cell voltage is 3.7V when the input supply is inadvertently removed and then restored. The battery is below the VRCH threshold and the charge cycle will immediately resume where it left off. LED Display Charge Status Output The AAT3682 provides a battery charge status output via the STAT pin. STAT is an open-drain serial data output capable of displaying five distinct status functions with one LED connected between the STAT pin and VP. There are four periods which determine a status word. Under default conditions, each output period is one second long; thus one Charge Status status word will take four seconds to display through an LED. The five modes include: 1. Sleep/Charge Complete: The IC goes into Sleep mode when no battery is present -ORwhen the charge cycle is complete. 2. Fault: When an Over-Current (OC) condition is detected by the current sense and control circuit -OR- when an Over-Voltage (OV) condition is detected at the BAT pin -OR- when a battery Over-Temperature fault is detected on the TEMP pin. 3. Battery Conditioning: When the charge system is in the 1X or 2X trickle charge mode. 4. Constant Current (CC) Mode: When the system is in the constant current charge mode. 5. Constant Voltage (CV) Mode: When the system is in the constant voltage charge mode. An additional feature of the LED status display is for a Battery Not Detected state. When the AAT3682 senses there is no battery connected to the BAT pin, the STAT output will turn the LED on and off at a rate dependent on the size of the output capacitor being used. The LED cycles on for two periods then remains off for two periods. See Figure 3 below.

The T2X pin should be pulled high with the use of a 100kΩ resistor. If the input supply to VIN will not exceed 5.5V, then the T2X pin may be tied directly to VIN through a 100KΩ resistor. Since this is a TTL level circuit, it may not be pulled higher than 5.5V without risk of damage to the device. When the high-speed data report feature is enabled, the STAT output periods are sped up to 40µs, making the total status word 160µs in length. See Figure 4 below. An additional feature is the Output Status for the Battery Not Detected state. When the AAT3682 senses there is no battery connected to the BAT pin, the STAT pin cycles for two periods, then remains off for two periods. When in High-Speed Data Reporting, the AAT3682 will only trickle charge at the 2X trickle charge level. This is because the T2X pin is pulled high to enable the high-speed data reporting. A status display LED Charge Status Sleep / Charge Complete may not be connected to the STAT pin when the high-speed data reporting is being utilized. If both display modes are required, the display LED must be switched out of the circuit before the T2X pin is pulled high. Failing to do so could cause problems with the high-speed switching control circuits internal to the AAT3682. Charge Complete LED Status Mode A simplified LED status can be obtained by configuring the AAT3682 for high-speed data recording mode (T2X tied to VCC) and installing a 0.047µF capacitor from the STAT pin to the VSS pin (see Figure 5). In this configuration, the LED will be illuminated for all modes except the Sleep/Charge Complete mode. In addition, the T2X input must be tied to VCC through a 100kΩ resistor. In this mode, the trickle charge current will be 1.8X the normal trickle charge level. To reset the trickle charge current to the 1X level, the TS input must be temporarily toggled low. Removing C3 forces the LED status to gradually dim out as the battery becomes fully charged (see Figure 5).

Protection Circuitry The AAT3682 is a highly integrated battery management system IC including several protection features. In addition to battery temperature monitoring, the IC constantly monitors for over-current and overvoltage conditions; if an over-current situation occurs, the AAT3682 latches off the pass device to prevent damage to the battery or the system, and enters shutdown mode until the over-current event is terminated. An over-voltage condition is defined as a condition where the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the maximum battery charge voltage. If an over-voltage condition occurs, the IC turns off the pass device until voltage on the BAT pin drops below the maximum battery charge constant voltage threshold. The AAT3682 will resume normal operation after the over-current or over-voltage condition is removed. During an over-current or over-voltage event, the STAT will report a FAULT signal. In the event of a battery over-temperature condition, the IC will turn off the pass device and report a FAULT signal on the STAT pin. After the system recovers from a temperature fault, the IC will resume operation in the 1X trickle charge mode to prevent damage to the system in the event a defective battery is placed under charge. Once the battery voltage rises above the trickle charge to constant current charge threshold, the IC will resume the constant current mode. 3682.2005.02.1.1 Applications Information Choosing a Sense Resistor The charging rate recommended by Lithium-Ion cell vendors is normally 1C, with a 2C absolute maximum rating. Charging at the highest recommended rate offers the advantage of shortened charging time without decreasing the battery's lifespan. This means that the suggested fast charge rate for a 500mAH battery pack is 500mA. Refer to the Safe Operating Area curves in the Typical Characteristics section of this datasheet to determine the maximum allowable charge current for a given input voltage. The current sense resistor, RSENSE, programs the charge current according to the following equation: RSENSE = VCC - VCSI ICHARGE Where ICHARGE is the desired typical charge current during constant-current charge mode. VCC - VCSI is the voltage across RSENSE, shown in the Electrical Characteristic table as VCS. To program a nominal 500mA charge current during fast-charge, a 200mΩ value resistor should be selected. 13 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger Calculate the worst case power dissipated in the sense resistor according to the following equation: P= VCS2 0.1V2 = = 50mW RSENSE 0.2Ω A 500mW LRC type sense resistor from IRC is adequate for this purpose. Higher value sense resistors can be used, decreasing the power dissipated in the sense resistor and pass transistor. The drawback of higher value sense resistors is that the charge cycle time is increased, so tradeoffs should be considered when optimizing the design. Thermistor The AAT3682 checks battery temperature before starting the charge cycle, as well as during all stages of charging. This is accomplished by monitoring the voltage at the TS pin. Either a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) or positive-temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC) can be used because the AAT3682 checks to see that the voltage at TS is within a voltage window bounded by VTS1 and VTS2. Please see the following equations for specifying resistors: RT1 and RT2 for use with NTC Thermistor 5 • RTH • RTC RT1 = 3 • (R - R ) TC TH 5 • RTH • RTC RT2 = (2 • R ) - (7 • R ) TC TH RT1 and RT2 for use with PTC Thermistor 5 • RTH • RTC RT1 = 3 • (R - R ) TC TH 5 • RTH • RTC RT2 = (2 • R ) - (7 • R ) TH TC Where RTC is the thermistor's cold temperature resistance and RTH is the thermistor's hot temperature resistance. See thermistor specifications for additional information. To ensure there is no dependence on the input supply changes, connect divider between VCC and VSS. Disabling the tem- 14 perature-monitoring function is achieved by applying a voltage between VTS1 and VTS2 on the TS pin. Capacitor Selection Input Capacitor In general, it is good design practice to place a decoupling capacitor between the VCC and VSS pins. An input capacitor in the range of 1µF to 10µF is recommended. If the source supply is unregulated, it may be necessary to increase the capacitance to keep the input voltage above the undervoltage lockout threshold. If the AAT3682 is to be used in a system with an external power supply source, such as a typical AC-to-DC wall adaptor, then a CIN capacitor in the range of 10µF should be used. A larger input capacitor in this application will minimize switching or power bounce effects when the power supply is "hot plugged" in. Output Capacitor The AAT3682 does not need an output capacitor for stability of the device itself. However, a capacitor connected between BAT and VSS will control the output voltage when the AAT3682 is powered up when no battery is connected. The AAT3682 can become unstable if a high impedance load is placed across the BAT pin to VSS. Such a case is possible with aging Li-Ion battery cells. As cells age through repeated charge and discharge cycles, the internal impedance can rise over time. A 10µF or larger output capacitor will compensate for the adverse effects of a high impedance load and assure device stability over all operating conditions. Power Dissipation The voltage drop across the VP and BAT pins multiplied times the charge current is used to determine the internal power dissipation. The maximum power dissipation occurs when the input voltage is at a maximum and the battery voltage is at the minimum preconditioning voltage threshold. This power is then multiplied times the package theta to determine the maximum junction temperature. The worst case power junction temperature is calculated as follows. 3682.2005.02.1.1 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger PMAX = (VIN(MAX) - VSENSE - VSCHOTTKY - VBAT(MIN)) ⋅ ICHG(MAX) = (5.5V - 0.1V - 0.2V - 3.04V) ⋅ 550mA = 1.2W This equation can be used to determine the maximum input voltage given the maximum junction and ambient temperature and desired charge current. VIN(MAX) = = TJ(MAX) - TAMB + VBAT + VSCHOTTKY + VCS θ ⋅ ICHG(MAX) 120°C - 70°C + 3.1V + 0.2V + 0.1V 50°C/W ⋅ 500mA = 5.3V Operation Under No-Load Under no-load conditions (i.e., when the AAT3682 is powered with no battery connected between the BAT pin and VSS), the output capacitor is charged up very quickly by the trickle charge control circuit to the BAT pin until the output reaches the recharge threshold (VRCH). At this point, the AAT3682 will drop into sleep mode. The output capacitor will discharge slowly by the capacitor's own internal leakage until the voltage seen at the BAT pin drops below the VRCH threshold. This 100mV cycle will continue at approximately 3Hz with a 0.1µF capacitor connected. A larger capacitor value will produce a slower voltage cycle. This operation mode can be observed by viewing the STAT LED blinking on and off at the rate established by the COUT value. For desktop charger applications, where it might not be desirable to have a "charger ready" blinking LED, a large COUT capacitor in the range of 100µF or more would prevent the operation of this mode. AAT3682 features charge status output. Connecting a LED to the STAT pin will display all the three conditions of battery operation. Once the adapter is connected to the battery charger, the LED will be fully illuminated. As the battery charges, the LED will gradually dim as it transitions to constant current mode and to constant voltage mode. Table 1 summarizes the conditions. 3682.2005.02.1.1 Charge Status LED Display No battery connected Battery condition cc cv Sleep/charge complete blinking 100% LED light 75% LED light 25% LED light off Table 1: Charging Status. For applications where gradual dimming of the LED is not desired, adding C3 (refer to Figure 5) between the STAT pin and VSS will alter the charging status. In addition, the AAT3682 must be configured to operate in the high frequency STAT mode by connecting the T2X pin to VCC via 100KΩ resistor. As the battery is transitioning from trickle charge to constant current charge and constant voltage, the LED will remain illuminated. Once the battery is fully charged, the LED will shut off indicating completion of charge. Table 2 summarizes the conditions.

Reverse Current Blocking Diode A reverse-blocking diode is generally required for the circuit shown in Figure 5. The blocking diode gives the system protection from a shorted input. If there is no other protection in the system, a shorted input could discharge the battery through the body diode of the internal pass MOSFET. If a reverse-blocking diode is added to the system, a device should be chosen that can withstand the maximum constant-current charge current at the maximum system ambient temperature. Additionally, the blocking diode will prevent the battery from being discharged to the UVLO level by the AAT3682 in the event that power is removed from the input to the AAT3682. For this reason, the blocking diode must be placed in the location shown in Figure 5. 15 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger PD(MIN) = Diode Selection Typically, a Schottky diode is used in reverse current blocking applications with the AAT3682. Other lower cost rectifier type diodes may also be used to save cost if sufficient input power supply head room is available. The blocking diode selection should based on merits of the device forward voltage (VF), current rating, input supply level versus the maximum battery charge voltage, and cost. First, one must determine the appropriate minimum diode forward voltage drop. Refer to the following equation: VIN(MIN) = VBAT(MAX) + VF(TRAN) + VF(DIODE) VF ICC Where: PD(MIN) = Minimum power rating for a diode selection VF = Diode forward voltage ICC = Constant current charge level for the system Schottky Diodes Schottky diodes are selected for this application because they have a low forward voltage drop, typically between 0.3V and 0.4V. A lower VF permits a lower voltage drop at the constant current charge level set by the system; less power will be dissipated in this element of the circuit. A Schottky diode allows for lower power dissipation, smaller component package sizes, and greater circuit layout densities. Where: VIN(MIN) = Minimum input supply level Rectifier Diodes VBAT(MAX) = Maximum battery charge voltage required Any general purpose rectifier diode can be used with the AAT3682 application circuit in place of a higher cost Schottky diode. The design trade-off is that a rectifier diode has a high forward voltage drop. VF for a typical silicon rectifier diode is in the range of 0.7V. A higher VF will place an input supply voltage requirement for the battery charger system. This will also require a higher power rated diode since the voltage drop at the constant current charge amplitude will be greater. Refer to the previously stated equations to calculate the minimum VIN and diode PD for a given application. VF(TRAN) = Pass transistor forward voltage drop VF(DIODE) = Blocking diode forward voltage Based on the maximum constant current charge level set for the system, the next step is to determine the minimum current rating and power handling capacity for the blocking diode. The constant current charge level itself will dictate what the minimum current rating must be for a given blocking diode. The minimum power handling capacity must be calculated based on the constant current amplitude and the diode forward voltage (VF): 16 3682.2005.02.1.1 AAT3682 Lithium-Ion/Polymer Linear Battery Charger Figure 6: Evaluation Board Top Side Layout.
