ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 SYSTEM CONTROL INFORMATION Interfacing with the Marvell Aspen The ACT8938 is optimized for use in applications using the Marvell Aspen processors, supporting both the power domains as well as the signal interface for these processors. While the ACT8938 supports many possible configurations for powering these processors, one of the most common configurations is detailed in this datasheet. In general, this document refers to the ACT8938 pin names and functions. However, in cases where the description of interconnections between these devices benefits by doing so, both the ACT8938 pin names and the Marvell Aspen processors pin names are provided. When this is done, the Aspen pin names are located after the ACT8938 pin names, and are italicized and located inside parentheses. For example, VSEL (DVS_GPIO) refers to the logic signal applied to the ACT8938's VSEL input, identifying that it is driven from the Aspen's DVS_GPIO output. Likewise, OUT2 (VDD_IO ) refers to ACT8938's OUT2 pin, identifying that it is connected to the Aspen's VDD_IO power domain.

Table 5: Control Pins PIN NAME OUTPUT nPBIN REG1, REG2, REG3, REG4, REG5 PWRHLD REG1 nHIB REG2, REG3, REG4, REG5 Control Signals Manual Reset Function Enable Inputs The ACT8938 features a variety of control inputs, which are used to enable and disable outputs depending upon the desired mode of operation. nHIB, PWRHLD are logic inputs, while nPBIN is a unique, multi-function input. Refer to Table 5 for a description of which channels are controlled by each input. nPBIN Multi-Function Input ACT8938 features the nPBIN multi-function pin, which combines system enable/disable control with a hardware reset function. Select either of the two pin functions by asserting this pin, either through a direct connection to GA, or through a 50kΩ resistor to GA, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: The second major function of the nPBIN input is to provide a manual-reset input for the processor. To manually-reset the processor, drive nPBIN directly to GA through a low impedance (less than 2.5kΩ). When this occurs, nRSTO immediately asserts low, then remains asserted low until the nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset time-out period expires. nPBSTAT Output nPBSTAT is an open-drain output that reflects the state of the nPBIN input; nPBSTAT is asserted low whenever nPBIN is asserted, and is high-Z otherwise. This output is typically used as an interrupt signal to the processor, to initiate a software-programmable routine such as operating mode selection or to open a menu. Connect nPBSTAT to an appropriate supply voltage (typically OUT2) through a 10kΩ or greater resistor. nRSTO Output nPBIN Input nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low upon startup or when manual reset is asserted via the nPBIN input. When asserted on startup, nRSTO remains low until reset time-out period expires after OUT2 reaches its power-OK threshold. When asserted due to manual-reset, nRSTO immediately asserts low, then remains asserted low until the nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset time-out period expires.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 Connect a 10kΩ or greater pull-up resistor from nRSTO to an appropriate voltage supply (typically OUT2). nIRQ Output nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kΩ or greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the interrupt input of the system processor. Many of the ACT8938's functions support interruptgeneration as a result of various conditions. These are typically masked by default, but may be unmasked via the I2C interface. For more information about the available fault conditions, refer to the appropriate sections of this datasheet. Note that under some conditions a false interrupt may be generated upon initial startup. For this reason, it is recommended that the interrupt service routine check and validate nSYSLEVMSK[-] and nFLTMSK[-] bits before processing an interrupt generated by these bits. These interrupts may be validated by nSYSSTAT[-], OK[-] bits. Push-Button Control The ACT8938 is designed to initiate a system enable sequence when the nPBIN multi-function input is asserted. Once this occurs, a power-on sequence commences, as described below. The power-on sequence must complete and the microprocessor must take control (by asserting PWRHLD and de-asserting nHIB) before nPBIN is de-asserted. If the microprocessor is unable to complete its power-up routine successfully before the user releases the push-button, the ACT8938 automatically shuts the system down. This provides protection against accidental or momentary assertions of the push-button. If desired, longer “push-and-hold” times can be implemented by simply adding an additional time delay before asserting PWRHLD and de-asserting nHIB. Control Sequences The ACT8938 features a variety of control sequences that are optimized for supporting system enable and disable, as well as Hibernate mode of the Aspen processors. Enable Sequence A typical enable sequence initiates as a result of asserting nPBIN, and begins by enabling REG2, REG4, REG3, REG1 and REG5. When REG2 : Typical value shown, reaches its power-OK threshold, REG4 is enabled and nRSTO is asserted low, resetting the microprocessor. REG3 is enabled when REG2 reaches its power-OK threshold for 2ms . REG1 is enabled when REG2 reaches its power-OK threshold for 4ms . REG5 is enabled when REG2 reaches its power-OK threshold for 8ms . If REG2 is above its power-OK threshold when the reset timer expires, nRSTO is de-asserted, allowing the microprocessor to begin its boot sequence. During the boot sequence, the processor should read the HBRDY[ ] bit; if the value of HBRDY[ ] is 0 then the software should proceed with a typical enable sequence, whereas if the value of HBRDY[ ] is 1 then the software should proceed with a “wake from Hibernate Mode” routine. See the Hibernate Mode Sequence section for more information. During the boot sequence, the microprocessor must assert PWRHLD, holding REG1, and set nHIB to a logic high, holding REG2, REG3, REG4 and REG5 to ensure that the system remains powered after nPBIN is released. REG6 and REG7 should be enabled/disabled via I2C after microprocessor completes its boot sequence. Once the power-up routine is completed, the system remains enabled after the push-button is released as long as PWRHLD is asserted and nHIB is de-asserted. If the processor does not assert PWRHLD or de-assert nHIB to logic high before the user releases the push-button, the boot-up sequence is terminated and all regulators are disabled. This provides protection against "falseenable", when the push-button is accidentally depressed, and also ensures that the system remains enabled only if the processor successfully completes the boot-up sequence. Hibernate Mode Sequence The ACT8938 supports Hibernate mode of operation for Aspen processor. Once a successful power-up routine is completed, Hibernate mode may be initiated through a variety of softwarecontrolled mechanisms. Hibernate mode is typically initiated when the user presses the push-button during normal operation. Pressing the push-button asserts the nPBIN input, which asserts the nPBSTAT output to interrupt the processor. In response to this interrupt the processor should first set the FRC_ON1[ ] bit to 1, and the HBRDY[ ] bit to 1. Then the processor should assert nHIB to logic low, disabling REG2, REG3, REG4, REG5. Waking from Hibernate mode is initiated when the actual delay time may vary from (T-1ms) x 88% to T x 112%, where T is the typical delay time setting.

Once REG2 reaches regulation, REG3 is enabled and the nRSTO timer begins. Once the reset timer period expires the nRSTO output is deasserted and the processor initiates a boot-up sequence, during which it should determine the system status by reading the HBRDY[ ] bit; if the value of HBRDY[ ] is 0 then the software should proceed with a typical enable sequence, whereas if the value of HBRDY[ ] is 1 then the software should proceed with a “wake from Hibernate Mode” routine. To complete the wake process, the processor should assert PWRHLD, holding REG1, and de-assert nHIB to logic high, holding REG2, REG3, REG4 and REG5 to ensure that the system remains enabled after the push-button is released then set FRC_ON1[ ] and HBRDY[ ] to 0 to complete a full wake-up routine. Disable Sequence As with the enable sequence, a typical disable sequence is initiated when the user presses the push-button, which interrupts the processor via the nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is completely software-controlled, but typically involved initiating various “clean-up” processes before finally de-assert PWRHLD and assert nHIB to logic low, disabling all regulators and shutting the system down. It is important that FRC_ON1[ ] is clear to 0 prior to shutting down the system, otherwise REG1 will remain ON.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION I2C Interface below the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold: The ACT8938 features an I2C interface that allows advanced programming capability to enhance overall system performance. To ensure compatibility with a wide range of system processors, the I2C interface supports clock speeds of up to 400kHz (“Fast-Mode” operation) and uses standard I2C commands. I2C write-byte commands are used to program the ACT8938, and I2C read-byte commands are used to read the ACT8938’s internal registers. The ACT8938 always operates as a slave device, and is addressed using a 7-bit slave address followed by an eighth bit, which indicates whether the transaction is a readoperation or a write-operation, [1011011x]. 1) If nSYSMODE[-] = 1 (default case), when system vo l ta g e l e ve l i n te r r u p t is unmasked (nSYSLEVMSK[ ]=1) and VVSYS falls below the programmable threshold, the ACT8938 asserts nIRQ, providing a software “under-voltage alarm”. The response to this interrupt is controlled by the CPU, but will typically initiate a controlled shutdown sequence either or alert the user that the battery is low. In this case the interrupt is cleared when VVSYS rises up again above the SYSLEV rising threshold and nSYSSTAT[-] is read via I2C. SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock input. The master device initiates a transaction by issuing a START condition, defined by SDA transitioning from high to low while SCL is high. Data is transferred in 8-bit packets, beginning with the MSB, and is clocked-in on the rising edge of SCL. Each packet of data is followed by an “Acknowledge” (ACK) bit, used to confirm that the data was transmitted successfully. For more information regarding the I2C 2-wire serial interface, go to the NXP website: http://www.nxp.com. Voltage Monitor and Interrupt Programmable System Voltage Monitor The ACT8938 features a programmable systemvoltage monitor, which monitors the voltage at VSYS and compares it to a programmable threshold voltage. The programmable voltage threshold is programmed by SYSLEV[3:0], as shown in Table 6. SYSLEV[ ] is set to 3.0V by default. There is a 200mV rising hysteresis on SYSLEV[ ] threshold such that VVSYS needs to be 3.2V(typ) or higher in order to power up the IC. The nSYSSTAT[-] bit reflects the output of an internal voltage comparator that monitors VVSYS relative to the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, the value of nSYSTAT[-] = 1 when VVSYS is lower than the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, and nSYSTAT[-] = 0 when VVSYS is higher than the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold. Note that the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold is defined for falling voltages, and that the comparator produces about 200mV of hysteresis at VSYS. As a result, once VVSYS falls below the SYSLEV threshold, its voltage must increase by more than about 200mV to clear that condition. After the IC is powered up, the ACT8938 responds in one of two ways when the voltage at VSYS falls 2) If nSYSMODE[-] = 0, when VVSYS falls below the programmable threshold the ACT8938 shuts down, immediately disabling all regulators. This option is useful for implementing a programmable “undervoltage lockout” function that forces the system off when the battery voltage falls below the SYSLEV threshold voltage. Since this option does not support a controlled shutdown sequence, it is generally used as a "fail-safe" to shut the system down when the battery voltage is too low.

An external resistive-divider network can be used to set voltage monitoring thresholds, as shown in Functional Block Diagram. The output of the comparator is present at the nLBO open-drain output.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 STEP-DOWN DC/DC REGULATORS General Description The ACT8938 features three synchronous, fixedfrequency, current-mode PWM step down converters that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. REG1 and REG2 are capable of supplying up to 1150mA of output current, while REG3 supports up to 1300mA. These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of 2MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and allowing the use of small external components. 100% Duty Cycle Operation Each regulator is capable of operating at up to 100% duty cycle. During 100% duty-cycle operation, the high-side power MOSFET is held on continuously, providing a direct connection from the input to the output (through the inductor), ensuring the lowest possible dropout voltage in battery powered applications. Synchronous Rectification REG1, REG2, and REG3 each feature integrated nchannel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers. Soft-Start When enabled, each output voltages tracks an internal 400μs soft-start ramp, minimizing input current during startup and allowing each regulator to power up in a smooth, monotonic manner that is independent of output load conditions. Compensation Each buck regulator utilizes current-mode control and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient performance over its full operating range. No compensation design is required; simply follow a few simple guidelines described below when choosing external components. Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise induced upon the voltage source. A 4.7μF ceramic capacitor is recommended for each regulator in most applications. Output Capacitor Selection For most applications, 22μF ceramic output capacitors are recommended for REG1, REG2 and REG3. Despite the advantages of ceramic capacitors, care must be taken during the design process to ensure stable operation over the full operating voltage and temperature range. Ceramic capacitors are available in a variety of dielectrics, each of which exhibits different characteristics that can greatly affect performance over their temperature and voltage ranges. Two of the most common dielectrics are Y5V and X5R. Whereas Y5V dielectrics are inexpensive and can provide high capacitance in small packages, their capacitance varies greatly over their voltage and temperature ranges and are not recommended for DC/DC applications. X5R and X7R dielectrics are more suitable for output capacitor applications, as their characteristics are more stable over their operating ranges, and are highly recommended. Inductor Selection REG1, REG2, and REG3 utilize current-mode control and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient performance over their full operating range. These devices were optimized for operation with 2.2μH inductors, although inductors in the 1.5μH to 3.3μH range can be used. Choose an inductor with a low DC-resistance, and avoid inductor saturation by choosing inductors with DC ratings that exceed the maximum output current by at least 30%. Configuration Options Output Voltage Programming By default, each regulator powers up and regulates to its default output voltage. Output voltage is selectable by setting VSEL pin that when VSEL is low, output voltage is programmed by VSET1[-] bits, and when VSEL is high, output voltage is programmed by VSET2[-] bits. However, once the system is enabled, each regulator's output voltage may be independently programmed to a different value, typically in order to minimize the power consumption of the microprocessor during some operating modes. Program the output voltages via the I2C serial interface by writing to the regulator's VSET1[-] register if VSEL is low or VSET2[-] register if VSEL is high as shown in Table 7. Enable / Disable Control During normal operation, each buck may be enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing to that regulator's ON[ ] bit. The regulator accept rising or falling edge of ON[ ] bit as on/off signal. To enable the regulator, clear ON[ ] to 0 first then set to 1. To disable the regulator, set ON[ ] to 1 first then clear it to 0.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 REG1, REG2, REG3 Turn-On Delay Each of REG1, REG2 and REG3 features a programmable Turn-On Delay which help ensure a reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 8. Operating Mode By default, REG1, REG2, and REG3 each operate in fixed-frequency PWM mode at medium to heavy loads, while automatically transitioning to a proprietary power-saving mode at light loads in order to maximize standby battery life. In applications where low noise is critical, force fixedfrequency PWM operation across the entire load current range, at the expense of light-load efficiency, by setting the MODE[ ] bit to 1. OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt Each DC/DC features a power-OK status bit that can be read by the system microprocessor via the I2C interface. If an output voltage is lower than the power-OK threshold, typically 7% below the programmed regulation voltage, that regulator's OK[ ] bit will be 0. If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8938 will interrupt the processor if that DC/DC's output voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until either the regulator is turned off or back in regulation, and the OK[ ] bit has been read via I2C. PCB Layout Considerations High switching frequencies and large peak currents make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design. A good design minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of which can result in instability or regulation errors. Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input current, so the input capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of via if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor, and output filter capacitor should be connected as close together as possible, with short, direct, and wide traces. The ground nodes for each regulator's power loop should be connected at a single point in a star-ground configuration, and this point should be connected to the backside ground plane with multiple via. The output node for each regulator should be connected to its corresponding OUTx pin through the shortest possible route, while keeping sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent noise injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly connected to the backside ground plane using multiple via to achieve low electrical and thermal resistance.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 LOW-NOISE, LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS General Description REG4, REG5, REG6, and REG7 are low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) that supply up to 150mA, 150mA, 320mA, and 320mA, respectively. Each LDO has been optimized to achieve low noise and high-PSRR, achieving more than 65dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz. Output Current Limit Each LDO contains current-limit circuitry featuring a current-limit fold-back function. During normal and moderate overload conditions, the regulators can support more than their rated output currents. During extreme overload conditions, however, the current limit is reduced by approximately 30%, reducing power dissipation within the IC. Compensation to that LDO's ON[ ] bit. The regulator accept rising or falling edge of ON[ ] bit as on/off signal. To enable the regulator, clear ON[ ] to 0 first then set to 1.

High quality ceramic capacitors such as X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly recommended. 1 1 1 128 ms Output Capacitor Selection Each LDO requires a small ceramic output capacitor for stability. Capacitance value is 1.5μF for REG4 and REG5, 3.3μF for REG6 and REG7. For best performance, each output capacitor should be connected directly between the output and GA pins, as close to the output as possible, and with a short, direct connection. High quality ceramic capacitors such as X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly recommended. Configuration Options Output Voltage Programming By default, each LDO powers up and regulates to its default output voltage. Once the system is enabled, each output voltage may be independently programmed to a different value by writing to the regulator's VSET[-] register via the I2C serial interface as shown in Table 7. Enable / Disable Control During normal operation, each LDO may be enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing Output Discharge Each of the ACT8938’s LDOs features an optional output discharge function, which discharges the output to ground through a 1.5kΩ resistance when the LDO is disabled. This feature may be enabled or disabled by setting DIS[-]; set DIS[-] to 1 to enable this function, clear DIS[-] to 0 to disable it. Low-Power Mode Each of ACT8938's LDOs features a LOWIQ[-] bit which, when set to 1, reduces the LDO's quiescent current by about 16%, saving power and extending battery lifetime. OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt Each LDO features a power-OK status bit that be read by the system microprocessor via interface. If an output voltage is lower than power-OK threshold, typically 11% below programmed regulation voltage, the value of regulator's OK[-] bit will be 0. If a LDO's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8938 will interrupt the processor if that LDO's output voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until either the regulation is turned off or back in regulation, and the OK[-] bit has been read via I2C.

When designing a PCB, however, careful layout is necessary to prevent other circuitry from degrading LDO performance. A good design places input and output capacitors as close to the LDO inputs and output as possible, and utilizes a star-ground configuration for all regulators to prevent noise-coupling through ground. Output traces should be routed to avoid close proximity to noisy nodes, particularly the SW nodes of the DC/DCs. REFBP is a noise-filtered reference, and internally has a direct connection to the linear regulator controller. Any noise injected into REFBP will directly affect the outputs of the linear regulators, and therefore special care should be taken to ensure that no noise is injected to the outputs via REFBP. As with the LDO output capacitors, the REFBP bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the IC as possible, with short, direct connections to the star-ground. Avoid the use of via whenever possible. Noisy nodes, such as from the DC/DCs, should be routed as far away from REFBP as possible.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 ActivePathTM CHARGER General Description The ACT8938 features an advanced battery charger that incorporates the patent-pending ActivePath architecture for system power selection. This combination of circuits provides a complete, advanced battery-management system that automatically selects the best available input supply, manages charge current to ensure system power availability, and provides a complete, highaccuracy (±0.5%), thermally regulated, full-featured single-cell linear Li+ charger that can withstand input voltages of up to 12V. In an input over-voltage condition this circuit limits VVSYS to 4.6V, protecting any circuitry connected to VSYS from the over-voltage condition, which may exceed this circuitry's voltage capability. This circuit is capable of withstanding input voltages of up to 12V. Table 9: Input Over-Voltage Protection Setting OVPSET[1] OVPSET[0] OVP THRESHOLD 0 0 6.6V 0 1 7.0V ActivePath Architecture 1 0 7.5V The ActivePath architecture important functions: 1 1 8.0V performs three 1) System Configuration Optimization 2) Input Protection 3) Battery-Management System Configuration Optimization The ActivePath circuitry monitors the state of the input supply, the battery, and the system, and automatically reconfigures itself to optimize the power system. If a valid input supply is present, ActivePath powers the system from the input while charging the battery in parallel. This allows the battery to charge as quickly as possible, while supplying the system. If a valid input supply is not present, ActivePath powers the system from the battery. Finally, if the input is present and the system current requirement exceeds the capability of the input supply, ActivePath allows system power to be drawn from both the battery and the input supply. Input Protection Input Over-Voltage Protection The ActivePath circuitry features input over-voltage protection circuitry. This circuitry disables charging when the input voltage exceeds the voltage set by OVPSET[-] as shown in Table 9, but stands off the input voltage in order to protect the system. Note that the adjustable OVP threshold is intended to provide the charge cycle with adjustable immunity against upward voltage transients on the input, and is not intended to allow continuous charging with input voltages above the charger's normal operating voltage range. Independent of the OVPSET[-] setting, the charge cycle is not allowed to resume until the input voltage falls back into the charger's normal operating voltage range (i.e. below 6.0V). Input Supply Overload Protection The ActivePath circuitry monitors and limits the total current drawn from the input supply to a value set by the ACIN and CHGLEV inputs, as well as the resistor connected to ISET. Drive ACIN to a logiclow for “USB Mode”, which limits the input current to either 100mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logiclow, or 450mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logichigh. Drive ACIN to a logic-high for “AC-Mode”, which limits the input current to 2A, typically. Input Under Voltage Lockout If the input voltage applied to CHGIN falls below 3.5V (typ), an input under-voltage condition is detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input under-voltage condition is detected, a new charge cycle will initiate when the input exceeds the undervoltage threshold by at least 500mV. Battery Management The ACT8938 features a full-featured, intelligent charger for Lithium-based cells, and was designed specifically to provide a complete charging solution with minimum system design effort. The core of the charger is a CC/CV (ConstantCurrent/Constant-Voltage), linear-mode charge controller. This controller incorporates current and voltage sense circuitry, an internal 70mΩ power MOSFET, thermal-regulation circuitry, a fullfeatured state machine that implements charge control and safety features, and circuitry that eliminates the reverse blocking diode required by conventional charger designs. The charge termination voltage is highly accurate (±0.5%), and features a selection of charge safety time-out periods that protect the system from operation with damaged cells.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 include pin-programmable fast-charge current and one current-limited nSTAT output that can directly drive LED indicator or provide a logic-level status signal to the host microprocessor. a logic-high, or 100mA, if CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low. Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC) Note that the actual charge current may be limited to a current lower than the programmed fast charge current due to the ACT8938’s internal thermal regulation loop. See the Thermal Regulation section for more information. The ACT8938's ActivePath charger features dynamic charge current control (DCCC) circuitry, which acts to ensure that the system remains powered while operating within the maximum output capability of the power adapter. The DCCC circuitry continuously monitors VVSYS, and if the voltage at VSYS drops by more than 200mV, the DCCC circuitry automatically reduces charge current in order to prevent VVSYS from continuing to drop. Charge Current Programming The ACT8938's ActivePath charger features a flexible charge current-programming scheme that combines the convenience of internal charge current programming with the flexibility of resistor based charge current programming. Current limits and charge current programming are managed as a function of the ACIN and CHGLEV pins, in combination with RISET, the resistance connected to the ISET pin. ACIN is a logic input that configures the current-limit of ActivePath's linear regulator as well as that of the battery charger. ACIN features a precise 1.2V logic threshold, so that the input voltage detection threshold may be adjusted with a simple resistive voltage divider. This input also allows a simple, lowcost dual-input charger switch to be implemented with just a few, low-cost components. When the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V threshold, the charger operates in “AC-Mode” with a charge current programmed by RISET, and the RISET is given by: RISET (kΩ) = 2336 × (1V/ICHG (mA)) - 0.205 With a given RISET then charge current will reduce 5 times when CHGLEV is driven low. When ACIN is below the 1.2V threshold, the charger operates in “USB-Mode”, with a maximum CHGIN input current and charge current defined by the CHGLEV input; 450mA, if CHGLEV is driven to The ACT8938's charge summarized in Table 10. current settings are Charger Input Interrupts In order to ease input supply detection and eliminate the size and cost of external detection circuitry, the charger has the ability to generate interrupts based upon the status of the input supply. This function is capable of generating an interrupt when the input is connected, disconnected, or both. An interrupt is generated any time the input supply is connected when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the INCON[-] bit is set to 1, and an interrupt is generated any time the input supply is disconnected when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the INDIS[ ] bit is set to 1. INDAT[-] indicates the status of the CHGIN input supply. A value of 1 indicates that a valid CHGIN input (CHGIN UVLO Threshold<VCHGIN<CHGIN OVP Threshold) is present, a value of 0 indicates a valid input is not present. When an interrupt is generated by the input supply, reading the INSTAT[ ] returns a value of 1. INSTAT [ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon reading. When no interrupt is generated by the input supply, reading the INSTAT[ ] returns a value of 0. When responding to an Input Status Interrupt, it is often useful to know the state of the ACIN input. For example, in a dual-input charger application knowing the state of the ACIN input can identify which type of input supply has been connected. The state of the ACIN input can be read at any time by reading the ACINSTAT[-] bit, where a value of 1 indicates that the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V threshold (indicating that a wall-cube has been attached), and a value of 0 indicates that the voltage is below this threshold (indicating that ACIN input is not valid and USB supply input is selected).

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 Charge-Control State Machine PRECONDITION State A new charging cycle begins with the PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition Threshold Voltage. When operating in PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at 10% of the programmed maximum fast-charge constant current, ICHG. Once VBAT reaches the Precondition Threshold Voltage, the state machine jumps to the FASTCHARGE state. If VBAT does not reach the Precondition Threshold Voltage before the Precondition Time-out period expires, then the state machine jumps to the TIME-OUT-FAULT state in order to prevent charging a damaged cell. See the Charge Safety Timers section for more information. FAST-CHARGE State In the FAST-CHARGE state, the charger operates in constant-current (CC) mode and regulates the charge current to the current set by RISET . Charging continues in CC mode until VBAT reaches the charge termination voltage (VTERM), at which point the statemachine jumps to the TOP-OFF state. If VBAT does not reach VTERM before the total time out period expires then the state-machine will jump to the “EOC” state and will re-initiate a new charge cycle after 32ms “relax”. See the Current Limits and Charge Current Programming sections for more information about setting the maximum charge current. TOP-OFF State In the TOP-OFF state, the cell charges in constantvoltage (CV) mode. In CV mode operation, the charger regulates its output voltage to the 4.20V charge termination voltage, and the charge current is naturally reduced as the cell approaches full charge. Charging continues until the charge current drops to END-OF-CHARGE current threshold, at which point the state machine jumps to the ENDOF-CHARGE (EOC) state. If the state-machine does not jump out of the TOPOFF state before the Total-Charge Time-out period expires, the state machine jumps to the EOC state and will re-initiate a new charge cycle if VBAT falls below termination voltage 205mV (typ). For more information about the charge safety timers, see the Charging Safety Times section. END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) State In the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state, the charger presents a high-impedance to the battery, minimizing battery current drain and allowing the cell to “relax”. The charger continues to monitor the cell voltage, and re-initiates a charging sequence if the cell voltage drops to 205mV (typ) below the charge termination voltage. SUSPEND State The state-machine jumps to the SUSPEND state any time the battery is removed, and any time the input voltage either falls below the CHGIN UVLO threshold or exceeds the OVP threshold. Once none of these conditions are present, a new charge cycle initiates. A charging cycle may also be suspended manually by setting the SUSPEND[ ] bit. In this case, initiate a new charging sequence by clearing SUSPEND[ ] to 0. State Machine Interrupts The charger features the ability to generate interrupts when the charger state machine transitions, based upon the status of the CHG_ bits. Set CHGEOCIN[ ] bit to 1 and CHGSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when the charger state machine goes into the END-OF-CHARGE (EOC) state. Set CHGEOCOUT[ ] bit to 1 and CHGSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when the charger state machine exits the EOC state. CHGDAT[ ] indicates the status of the charger state machine. A value of 1 indicates that the charger state machine is in END-OF-CHARGE state, a value of 0 indicates the charger state machine is in other states. When an interrupt is generated by the charger state machine, reading the CHGSTAT[ ] returns a value of 1. CHGSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon reading. When no interrupt is generated by the charger state machine, reading the CHGSTAT[ ] returns a value of 0. For additional information about the charge cycle, CSTATE[0:1] may be read at any time via I2C to determine the current charging state.

ACT8938 ® Rev 3, 23-Dec-11 Thermal Regulation Table 13: The charger features an internal thermal regulation loop that monitors die temperature and reduces charging current as needed to ensure that the die temperature does not exceed the thermal regulation threshold of 110°C. This feature protects against excessive junction temperature and makes the device more accommodating to aggressive thermal designs. Note, however, that attention to good thermal designs is required to achieve the fastest possible charge time by maximizing charge current. Total Safety Timer Setting Charge Safety Timers Charge Status Indicator The charger features programmable charge safety timers which help ensure a safe charge by detecting potentially damaged cells. These timers are programmable via the PRETIMO[1:0] and TOTTIMO[1:0] bits, as shown in Table 12 and Table 13. Note that in order to account for reduced charge current resulting from DCCC operation, the charge time-out periods are extended proportionally to the reduction in charge current. As a result, the actual safety period may exceed the nominal timer period. The charger provides a charge-status indicator output, nSTAT. nSTAT is an open-drain output which sinks current when the charger is in an active-charging state, and is high-Z otherwise. nSTAT features an internal 8mA current limit, and is capable of directly driving a LED without the need of a current-limiting resistor or other external circuitry. To drive an LED, simply connect the LED between nSTAT pin and an appropriate supply, such as VSYS. For a logic-level charge status indication, simply connect a resistor from nSTAT to an appropriate voltage supply. Charger Timer Interrupts TOTTIMO[1] TOTTIMO[0] TOTAL TIME-OUT PERIOD 0 0 3 hrs 0 1 4 hrs 1 0 5 hrs 1 1 Disabled The charger features the ability to generate interrupts based upon the status of the charge timers. Set the TIMRPRE[ ] bit to 1 and TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when the Precondition Timer expires. Set the TIMRTOT[ ] bit to 1 and TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when the Total-Charge Timer expires. Table 14: Charging Status Indication TIMRDAT[ ] indicates the status of the charge timers. A value of 1 indicates a precondition timeout or a total charge time-out occurs, a value of 0 indicates other cases. When an interrupt is generated by the charge timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a value of 1. TIMRSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon reading. When no interrupt is generated by the charge timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a value of 0.

When the voltage at CHGIN falls below VBAT, the charger automatically reconfigures its power switch to minimize current drawn from the battery. Battery Temperature Monitoring In a typical application, the TH pin is connected to the battery pack's thermistor input, as shown in Figure 8.

The voltage at TH is continuously monitored, and charging is suspended if the voltage at TH exceeds either of the internal VTHH and VTHL thresholds of 0.5V and 2.51V, respectively. Figure 8: Simple Configuration The net resistance (from TH to GA) required to cross the thresholds are given by: 102μA × RNOM × kHOT = 0.5V → RNOM × kHOT ≈ 5kΩ 102μA × RNOM × kCOLD = 2.51V → RNOM × kCOLD ≈ 25kΩ where RNOM is the nominal thermistor resistance at room temperature, and kHOT and kCOLD represent the ratios of the thermistor's resistance at the desired hot and cold thresholds, respectively, to the resistance at 25°C. Battery Temperature Interrupts In order to ease detecting the status of the battery temperature, the charger features the ability to generate interrupts based upon the status of the battery temperature. Set the TEMPOUT[ ] bit to 1 and TEMPSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when battery temperature goes out of the valid temperature range. Set the TEMPIN[ ] bit to 1 and TEMPSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when battery temperature returns to the valid range. TEMPDAT[ ] indicates the status of the battery temperature. A value of 1 indicates the battery temperature is inside of the valid range, a value of 0 indicates the battery is outside of the valid range. When an interrupt is generated by the battery temperature event, reading the TEMPSTAT[ ] returns a value of 1. TEMPSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon reading. When no interrupt is generated by the battery temperature event, reading the TEMPSTAT[ ] returns a value of 0.
