SBS-Like interface is not 100% SBS compliant. SBS-Like
interface is SMBus1.1 complaint but does not support Packet
Error Correction (PEC). The control and status registers were
changed to simplify and enhance notebook charger control.
An 8-bit address (0x12) is used. See Table 1 for a
comparison between SBS-like vs SBS Specification.

DESCRIPTION
CHGEN
Charge enable logic level low input. Logic HI on the CHGEN pin disables the charger. Logic LO on the
CHGEN pin enables the charger. When the SMBus control register = bit0, CHGEN is also LO.
2
ACDRV
AC adapter to system switch driver output. Connect directly to the gate of the ACFET PMOS power
FET. Connect the FET source to the PVCC node and negative side of the input current-sense resistor.
Connect the FET drain to the system load side. Recommend placing a 10-kΩ resistor from the gate to
the source of the Bypass FET. If needed, an optional capacitor from gate to source of the ACFET is
used to help slow down the ON and OFF times. The internal gate drive is asymmetrical allowing a
quick turn-off and slower turn-off in addition to the internal break-before-make logic with respect to the
BATDRV.
3
ACN
Adapter current sense resistor, negative input. An optional 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor is placed from this
pin to AGND for common-mode filtering. An optional 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor is placed from ACN to
ACP to provide differential-mode filtering.
4
ACP
Adapter current sense resistor, positive input. Place this on the adapter side of the input current sense
resistor. Recommend placing a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from ACP to AGND to provide
common-mode filtering.
5
ACDET
AC adapter detected sense voltage input. Connect a voltage divider resistor from adapter input (before
Bypass FET) to ACDET, and another resistor from ACDET to AGND, in order to program adapter
detect threshold of 1.2 V. ACDET threshold should be greater than maximum battery regulation
voltage, and lower than the minimum adapter voltage.
6
BYPASS
Gate drive for the adapter input BYPASS switch to prevent reverse discharge from the battery to the
input. Connect this pin directly to the gate of the input bypass PMOS power FET. The source of the
FET is connected to the adapter input voltage node. Recommend placing a 10-kΩ resistor from the
gate to the source of the BYPASS FET. The drain of the FET is connected to the positive node of the
input current-sense resistor. An optional capacitor can be placed from the gate to the source to
slow-down the switching times. Adjusting the turn-on and turn-off times is typically not needed for this
FET.
7
EAO
Error amplifier output for compensation. Connect the feedback compensation components from EAO
to EAI. Typically a capacitor in parallel with a series resistor and capacitor. See the compensation
calculation procedures. This node is internally compared to the PWM saw-tooth oscillator.

EAI
Error amplifier input for compensation, also connect the feedback compensation components from EAI
to EAO. Connect the input compensation components from FBO to EAI. See the compensation
calculation procedures.
9
FBO
Feedback output for compensation. Connect the input compensation components from FBO to EAI.
Typically, a resistor in parallel with a series resistor and capacitor. See the compensation calculation
procedures.
10
AGND
Analog ground. Ground connection for low current sensitive analog and digital signals. Only connect to
the PGND node by connecting to the PowerPAD™ underneath the IC.
11
VREF5
5-V regulated voltage output, used for internal bias and the reference for programming the TS
thermistor sense network. Used to indicate adapter present status. It is enabled by ac detected.
Connect a 1-µF ceramic capacitor from VREF5 pin to AGND as close to IC as possible.
12
VCC
IC analog positive supply. Connect to adapter input, or diode, or by putting a diode from adapter input
and a diode from battery pack to VCC. Put a 1-µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to AGND, as close to
the IC as possible.
13
SDA
SMBus Data input. Connect to SMBus data line from the host controller. A 10-kΩ pullup resistor to the
host controller supply rail is needed.
14
SCL
SMBus Clock input. Connect to SMBus clock line from the host controller. A 10-kΩ pullup resistor to
the host controller supply rail is needed.
TS
Thermistor sense input. Use a voltage divider from VREF5 to TS and AGND. Place a resistor from
VREF to TS, and a resistor from TS to AGND to program the hot and cold battery pack thermistor
temperatures. Charge is disabled when outside the hot/cold window. The TS pin is also used to detect
if a battery is connected.
ISYNSET
Program current threshold for synchronous to nonsynchronous regulation transition. Place a resistor
from ISYNSET to AGND to program the charge undercurrent threshold to force nonsynchronous
converter operation at low output current and prevent negative inductor current. Threshold should be
set from ½ inductor current ripple to full value of inductor current ripple.
17
IOUT
Battery charger or adapter current amplifier output. Current sense amplifier that outputs a voltage 20x
the current sense resistor differential voltage. The output can be selected by SMBus charge control
register (0x12) bit3 to be the input adapter current (ACP-ACN), or the battery charge current
(SRP-SRN). Place a 0.1-µF capacitor from IOUT to AGND for filtering the output ripple. Optionally, add
an RC filter after the output filter for further filtering.
18
BAT
Battery voltage remote sense. Directly connect a kelvin sense trace from the battery pack positive
terminal to the BAT pin to accurately sense the battery pack voltage. Place a 0.1-µF capacitor from
BAT to AGND close to the IC to filter high frequency noise.
19
SRN
Charge current sense resistor, negative input. Connect to the charge current sense resistor negative
terminal. Optionally, add a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SRN to AGND near the IC for
common-mode filter.
SRP
Charge current sense resistor, positive input. Connect to the charge current sense resistor positive
terminal. Recommend placing a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SRP to AGND near the IC for
common-mode filter. Optionally, place a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SRP to SRN near the IC for
differential-mode filter.
SYNN
Charge overcurrent and charge undercurrent negative sense input. Connect to the charge current
sense resistor negative terminal. If sensing the same sense resistor as SRN, the user can connect
directly to the SRN pin and no further filter capacitors are needed. To sense a different sense resistor,
add a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SYNN to AGND near the IC for common-mode filter.
22
SYNP
Charge overcurrent and charge undercurrent negative sense input. Connect to the charge current
sense resistor positive terminal. If sensing the same sense resistor as SRP, the user can connect
directly to the SRP pin, and no further filter capacitors are needed. To sense a different sense resistor,
add a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SYNP to AGND near the IC for common-mode filter, and place a
0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from SYNP to SYNN near the IC for differential-mode filter.
23
SYS
System load, voltage sense. Connect directly to the system load node and the drain of the BAT PMOS
power FET.

DESCRIPTION
BATDRV
Battery to system switch driver output. Gate drive for the battery to system load BAT PMOS power
FET to isolate the system from the battery to prevent current flow from the system to the battery, while
allowing a low impedance path from battery to system while discharging the battery pack to the system
load. Connect this pin directly to the gate of the input BAT PMOS power FET. Connect the source of
the FET to the system load voltage node. Connect the drain of the FET to the battery pack positive
node. Recommend placing a 10-kΩ resistor from the gate to the source of the BAT FET. An optional
capacitor is placed from the gate to the source to slow-down the switching times. The internal gate
drive is asymmetrical allowing a quick turn-off and slower turn-off in addition to the internal
break-before-make logic with respect to the ACDRV.
25
ALARM
Alarm indicating charger status change, open-drain output. The ALARM is pulled low (LO) whenever
the SMBus status register (0x13) has a change. The ALARM output is cleared (HI) when the SMBus
status (0x13) register is read, or there is a reset. This is used to alert the host and initiate an interrupt
with the host instead of having to continuously poll the charger. A 10-kΩ pull-up resistor to the host
controller supply rail is needed.
26
PGND
Power ground. Ground connection for the high-current power converter nodes. Only connect to the
AGND node by connecting to the PowerPAD™ underneath the IC.
27
LODRV
PWM low side driver output. Connect directly to the gate of the low-side NMOS power FET with a
short trace.
28
REGN
Low-side driver gate voltage regulator and source for high-side driver bootstrap voltage. Add a 1-µF
ceramic capacitor from REGN pin to PGND pin, close to the IC. Place a small signal Schottky diode
from REGN to BTST for bootstrap voltage.
29
PH
High-side driver negative supply. Connect directly to the source of the high-side NMOS FET with a
short trace. This node is the common connection between the high-side FET, low-side FET, and
output inductor. Connect a 0.1-µF boot-strap ceramic capacitor from BTST to PH.
30
HIDRV
PWM high side driver output. Connect directly to the gate of the high-side NMOS power FET with a
short trace.
31
BTST
High-side driver positive supply, connect pos-side of boot-strap capacitor. Connect a 0.1-µF bootstrap
capacitor from the BTST pin to the PH node. Also, connect a bootstrap diode with the anode
connected to the REGN pin and the cathode connected to the BTST pin. An optional 4.7-Ω - 15-Ω
series resistor is placed between the BTST pin and the bootstrap-diode/capacitor junction to
slow-down the turn-on time of the high-side FET for reducing ringing due to high dv/dt of the phase
node.
32
PVCC
IC power positive supply. Connect directly to the drain of the high-side NMOS power FET.
Recommend placing at least a 10-µF ceramic capacitor directly from the drain of the high-side NMOS
power FET to PGND. Up to 40 µF may be needed to prevent resonance filtering inductance. Also, a
0.1-µF decoupling ceramic capacitor is recommended.

For the bq24721: When BAT falls below the V(BATSHORT) threshold, the charger continues regulating at the programmed current down to
zero volts on BAT; then after 1 second deglitch time, the charge current automatically changes to 1/8 the programmed charge current.
The charge current automatically changes from 1/8 the programmed charge current to the full programmed charge current when BAT
voltage rises above (V(BATSHORT) + 200 mV hysteresis), after 1 second deglitch time.

BLOCK DESCRIPTION
Detail Block Diagram
The bq24721 charge controller can be used to charge Li-Ion, NiMH, or NiCd batteries. The high efficiency
synchronous buck controller uses n-channel power MOSFETs for both the high-side control device and the
low-side synchronous device. The controller offers high regulation accuracy of the charge current, battery
voltage, and input current limits. The low offset of the current loops allow using sense resistors with low-value,
such as 10 mΩ.
An embedded controller host programs the battery voltage, charge current, and input current regulation limit
thresholds through an SMBus interface using SBS-like DAC registers. The embedded host can control the
operation of the charger through a Charge Control (0x12) register, and monitor the status of the charger through
a Charger Status (0x13) register.
The voltage loop regulates the battery voltage to the programmed value, and prevents the voltage from
exceeding that value when the battery is connected. The charge current loop regulates the battery charge
current to the programmed value, and prevents the charge current from exceeding that value. Through the use
of dynamic power management (DPM), the input current loop regulates the battery charge current to the
programmed value, and prevents the input current from exceeding that value. The three regulation loops operate
independently, yet only require a single loop compensation network.
The system power selector function selects the appropriate power source for the system load. If the adapter is
detected, then the adapter is connected to the system load. When the adapter is removed, the battery is
selected to power the system load. A battery learn cycle is performed when the adapter is present by setting the
CONTROL(0x12) register into Learn Mode via SMBus by the embedded host. This disconnects the adapter from
the system; and instead, connect the battery to the system. This is typically done for Ni-based batteries.
SMBus Interface
The bq24721 uses all the SMBus communications protocol, except for packet error correction (PEC). The
charger IC address is (0x12), although it is not 100% SBS compliant. In most applications, the extra functionality
provided by the differing SBS-Like interface enhances the control of the charger application, while simplifying the
interface block, using only the pertinent functions. Five 16-bit registers are used to interface between the
embedded host and the charge control IC. The Charging Voltage (0x15) register is used to set the battery
regulation voltage. The Charging Current (0x14) register is used to set the battery charge regulation current. The
Input Current (0x3F) register is used to set the input regulation current. The Charger Mode (0x12) control
register is used to set the charger operating modes. Finally, the Charger Status (0x13) register is used to
monitor the operating status of the charger.

The SMBus communications requires only two pins besides the analog ground pin—through the SDA (data) and
SCL (clock) pins. The open-drain SCL and SDA pins require pull-up resistors on the board pulling up to the host
digital output voltage rail. The pins can be pulled up to any rail between 3 V to 5 V.
An alarm is sent to the host through the ALARM open drain pin. This is used to trigger an interrupt request
(IRQ). A low on the ALARM pin indicates there was a change on the Charger Status (0x13) register. The
ALARM pin stays low until the host reads the Charger Status (0x13) register, then the ALARM pin clears and
returns to the HI state. The open-drain ALARM pin requires a pull-up resistor that pulls up to the host digital
input voltage rail. The pin can be pulled up to any rail between 3 V to 5 V. The charge controller continues to
operate whether the host chooses to read or not to read the Charger Status (0x13) register. There is no
communications watchdog timer, so there is no need to continuously poll the Charger Status (0x13) register or
have to continuously reprogram any of the other registers.
Setting Charge Voltage (VBAT DAC register)
The charge voltage can be programmed by setting Charging Voltage(0x15) register. The SBS specification asks
for 16 bits to set the regulation voltage with a 1-mV LSB—giving a maximum possible voltage of 65.535 V. The
bq24721 uses bits 1 through 14 only, and maps them into the closest value of an internal 7-bit DAC on a per cell
basis using a 6.25-mV per cell LSB for three ranges: 9-V precharge voltage; 3 cells Li+ battery pack range; or 4
cells Li+ battery pack range. The 3 cell portion has an LSB of 18.75 mV and a range from 12 V-14.4 V; while the
4 cell portion has an LSB of 25 mV and a range from 16 V-19.2 V. Intermediate programmed voltages between
the internal 7-bit DAC values are truncated to the lower value to avoid an overvoltage on the battery.
Programmed voltages above 19.2 V are automatically set to the maximum 19.2-V limit. The charger is disabled
for programmed voltages below 12 V (except for 9 V), and for programmed voltages between 14.4 V – 16 V.
This triggers a voltage-out-of-range condition and the VOR bit of the Charger Status (0x13) register is set, and
an alarm (ALARM pin pulled low) is sent to the host. The default power-up-reset voltage value is 0 V, charger
disabled.
Setting Charge Current (IBAT DAC register)
The charge current can be programmed using the Charging Current (0x14) register. The SBS specification asks
for 16 bits to set the charge current with a 1-mA LSB—giving a maximum possible current of 65.535 A using a
10-mΩ sense resistor. The bq24721 uses bits 7 – 14 only to limit the range within a practical operating range.
The current range is 0 mA to 16.384 A with an LSB of 128 mA using a 10-mΩ sense resistor. The charger is
disabled when the programmed input current is 0 A. The default power-up-reset current value is 0 A, charger
disabled. Other sense resistors can be used to set the charge current—the user needs to transform the DAC
current table values to the new current values by dividing the current by 10 mΩ, then multiplying by the new
sense resistor value used.

Setting Input (DPM) Current (IDPM DAC register)
The input current can be similarly programmed using the Input Current (0x3F) register. The SBS specification
asks for 16 bits to set the input current with a 1-mA LSB—giving a maximum possible current of 65.535 A using
a 10-mΩ sense resistor. The bq24721 uses bits 7 – 14 only to limit the range within a practical operating range.
The current range is 0 mA to 16.384 A with an LSB of 128 mA using a 10-mΩ sense resistor. The charger is
disabled when the programmed input current is 0 A. The default power-up-reset current value is 0 A, charger
disabled. Other sense resistors can be used to set the input current—the user needs to transform the DAC
current table values to the new current values by dividing the current by 10 mΩ, then multiplying by the new
sense resistor value used.
Power Up
When the adapter is not detected, the REGN output voltage is 4.6 V and the VREF5 LDO regulator is off, to
lower the power consumption from the battery. The VREF5 LDO is pulled-down to AGND when the adapter is
not detected. The REGN LDO regulator begins to regulate at 4.6 V when the input VCC voltage is greater than
6 V. The REGN output voltage is then 6 V when the adapter is detected, and the VCC is greater than 7 V. If
adapter is detected, but VCC is less than 7 V, then the REGN is in dropout, and REGN output voltage depends
on the VCC voltage and REGN load current. The VREF5 LDO is allowed to turn-on and regulate to 5 V, 5 ms
after REGN is 6 V and the adapter is detected. There is a 500-ms delay from the time the adapter is detected,
until the ACFET from the system power selector is allowed to turn-on, and until the charger is allowed to turn-on.
The battery continues to be connected to the system during this 500-ms delay.
Adapter Detect
The adapter detect threshold is programmed by an external voltage divider resistor from the adapter to the
ACDET pin. The internal ACDET comparator has a 1.2-V rising-edge threshold and a 15-mV falling-edge
hysteresis. The adapter detect value is typically programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery
voltage, and lower than the minimum allowed adapter voltage. The ACDETECT divider is placed before the
BYPASS FET in order to sense the true adapter input voltage whether the BYPASS is on or off.
The VREF5 LDO output is also used to indicate when the adapter is detected, for both the bq24721 and the
bq24721, since the VREF5 LDO only comes up when the adapter is detected.

System Power Selector
The bq24721 can automatically switch between adapter power or battery power to the system load. The battery
is connected to the system when there is no adapter detected. The adapter is connected to the system when the
adapter is detected. An automatic break-before-make logic prevents shoot-through currents when the selector
switches.
When no adapter is detected the ACDRV pin is pulled to the PVCC pin to keep the external ACFET p-channel
power MOSFET off, disconnecting the adapter from system. The break-before-make logic waits until the ACFET
is off and the System to battery voltage comparator indicates the system voltage is within 250 mV of the Battery
(SYS voltage falling-edge, with a 50-mV hysteresis SYS voltage rising-edge). This prevents shoot-through
currents or large discharge currents from going into the battery. The BATDRV pin is then set to the SYS pin
voltage minus 6 V by an internal regulator in order to turn on the external BATFET p-channel power MOSFET,
connecting the battery pack to the system.
When adapter is detected there is a 500-ms delay; then, the BATDRV is set to the SYS pin voltage to turn off
the external BATFET p-channel power MOSFET, in order to disconnect the battery. The break-before-make
logic waits until the BATFET is off to prevent shoot-through currents. The ACDRV pin is then set to the PVCC
pin voltage minus 6 V by an internal regulator in order to turn on the external ACFET p-channel power MOSFET,
connecting the adapter to the system.
The host can override the adapter to system connection when adapter is present, by setting the charger into
Learn Mode. The host can then induce a learn cycle in which the battery is allowed to discharge. A learn cycle is
used to recalibrate the fuel gauge for Ni-based batteries, or for clearing the memory effect of a Ni-cd battery.
After discharging the battery, Learn Mode can be disabled allowing the adapter to be reconnected to the system,
then resuming a normal charge cycle.
Whenever the battery is connected to the system (whether in learn cycle with adapter present, or no adapter
present), there is a Low Battery comparator that monitors the battery voltage, and alerts the host and charge
controller that the battery has been depleted. The BAT_DEP threshold can be programmed through the Charger
Mode control (0x12) register through bits b9-b11. The three bits can program the threshold between 2.2-V per
cell to 2.9-V per cell, in 100-mV increments. The number of cells is determined by the programmed battery
regulation voltage (0x15) register. If the battery voltage falls below the BAT_DEP threshold, then the battery is
disconnected from the system and the adapter is connected to the system. The Battery Voltage Low bit (b11) is
set in the Charger Status (0x13) register, and the ALARM pin is pulled low to alert the host. There is a 1 second
deglitch time to prevent false triggering.
The Charger Status (0x13) register bits b6 and b7 also always indicate whether the battery is connected to the
system (b6), or the adapter is connected to the system (b7). An alarm is triggered whenever these states
change.
Asymmetrical gate drives (100 Ω turn-off; 10 kΩ turn-on) for the ACDRV and BATDRV drivers provide fast
turn-off and slow turn-on of the ACFET and BATFET to help the break-before-make logic and to allow a
soft-start at turn-on of either FET. The soft-start time is further increased by putting a capacitor from gate to
source of the p-channel power MOSFETs.
Input Overcurrent Protection (ACOC)
For solutions using the selector functions, an input overcurrent protection function (ACOC) is provided which
disconnects the ACFET by turning off the ACDRV pin, whenever the sensed input current exceeds the
programmed ACOC threshold. The ACOC threshold is programmed through the SMBus Charge Mode (0x12)
control register, bits b6, b7, b8. The ACOC function is automatically disabled upon power-on-reset. The host
needs to enable it by setting the ACOC bit (b6) HI. The ACOC threshold is set by the SET_ACOC bits (b7, b8),
to thresholds of 130%, 150%, 170%, or 190% of the input current (DPM) regulation limit threshold from the Input
Current (0x3F) register.
The ACFET turns off when the sensed current exceeds the threshold after a 200-µs deglitch time. The ACFET
automatically turns on after 2 ms, to limit the on-time duty cycle, and limit the power dissipation on the ACFET.
Care must be taken to ensure the system load power does not exceed the power-up allowable power when the
ACOC function is used.
The function is not intended for system short-circuits, as usually the adapter self protects. Instead, the function is
intended for long-term overcurrent protection of the selector power devices, and to limit start-up peak current.

Bypass FET
The BYPASS pin is used to control an input FET that is off to prevent reverse discharge from the battery to the
adapter, and is on during input current draw to the system or battery, to minimize the power dissipation, as
compared to using a Schottky diode. If no adapter is detected, the BYPASS FET is off, by setting the BYPASS
pin to the PVCC pin. When the adapter is detected there is a 500-ms delay, then an ACP-to-BAT voltage
comparator is used to control the BYPASS pin. The BYPASS driver is set to the PVCC pin voltage when the
adapter voltage (ACP pin) is not more than 250 mV (ACP voltage falling-edge) above the battery voltage (BAT
pin), in order to turn off the external BYPASS p-channel power MOSFET. There is a 50 mV (ACP voltage
rising-edge) hysteresis, to protect from noise and prevent chatter. When adapter is detected and the ACP pin
voltage is greater than 300 mV above the BAT pin voltage, the BYPASS pin voltage is set to PVCC pin voltage
minus 6 V, in order to turn on the external BYPASS p-channel power MOSFET.
The ACP-to-BAT comparator also prevents the battery voltage from holding-up the ACDET sensed value and
falsely detecting ACDET when the adapter is removed, this prevents the system power selector from getting
stuck in an adapter always detected state. When ACP gets near to BAT, the external BYPASS p-channel power
MOSFET is turned off. This isolates the ACDET network from the battery, and allows the adapter input node to
discharge to PGND.
The BYPASS driver has a symmetrical gate drive of 1 kΩ turn-on and turn-off and does not need to be slowed
down.
Enabling Charge
Charge is only enabled 500 ms after adapter is detected. To initiate charge the CHGEN pin must be low, and
the Charger Mode (0x12) register END CHARGE bit (b0) must be set LO. The power-on-reset default for the
END CHARGE bit is HI, disabling charge.
The Charger Status (0x13) register NOT READY TO CHARGE bit (b0) indicates whether the charger is ready to
charge. A HI indicates the charger is not ready to charge, while a LO indicates the charger is ready to charge.
The NOT READY TO CHARGE bit (b0) must be LO in order for the charger to be enabled. The conditions that
make the charger not ready to charge are: adapter not detected, 500-ms delay after adapter detected not over,
REGN voltage not up, or VREF5 voltage not up.
The Charger Status (0x13) register CHARGER NOT ON bit (b1) indicates whether the charger is not on (HI), or
the charger is on (LO). For charger to be on, the CHGEN pin must be low, the Charger Mode (0x13) register
END CHARGE bit (b0) must be LO, the, IC junction temperature must be below the TSHUT threshold,
overcurrent detected, or Thermistor Sense (TS) indicates battery pack is out of programmed permissible charge
temperature range (bq24721 only).

Figure 57. PWM Control Logic
Converter Operation
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixed frequency voltage mode with feed-forward control scheme.
A type III compensation network allows using ceramic output capacitors. The compensation input stage is
connected between the feedback output (FBO) pin and the error amplifier input (EAI) pin. The feedback
compensation stage is connected between the error amplifier input (EAI) pin and error amplifier output (EAO)
pin.
An internal saw-tooth ramp is compared to the EAO pin error control signal to vary the duty-cycle of the
converter. The ramp height is one-tenth of the input adapter voltage making it always directly proportional to the
input adapter voltage. This cancels out any loop gain variation due to a change in input voltage, and simplifies
the loop compensation. The ramp is offset by 300 mV in order to allow zero percent duty-cycle, when the EAO
signal is below the ramp. The EAO signal is also allowed to exceed the saw-tooth ramp signal in order to get a
100% duty-cycle PWM request. Internal gate drive logic allows achieving 99.98% duty-cycle while ensuring the
N-channel upper device always has enough voltage to stay fully on. If the BTST pin to PH pin voltage falls below
4.5 V for more than 3 cycles, then the high-set n-channel power MOSFET is turned off and the low-side
n-channel power MOSFET is turned on to pull the PH node down and recharge the BTST capacitor. Then the
high-side driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the voltage is detected to fall low again due to
leakage current discharging the BTST capacitor below the 4.5 V, and the reset pulse is reissued.
The fixed frequency oscillator keeps tight control of the switching frequency under all conditions of input voltage,
battery voltage, charge current, and temperature, simplifying output filter design and keeping it out of the audible
noise region. The switching frequency can be changed from 300 kHz to 500 kHz by the Charger Mode (0x12)
register PWM FS bit (b5) – a HI is 500 kHz, a LO is 300 kHz. The switching frequency is 300 kHs by default
after power-on-reset. Typical chargers use 300 kHz, but 500 kHz allows a smaller inductance value

SLUS683C – NOVEMBER 2005 – REVISED DECEMBER 2006
The charge current sense resistor should be placed with at least half or more of the total output capacitance
placed before the sense resistor contacting both sense resistor and the output inductor; and the other half or
remaining capacitance placed after the sense resistor. The output capacitance should be divided and placed
onto both sides of the charge current sense resistor. A ratio of 50:50 percent gives the best performance; but the
node in which the output inductor and sense resistor connect should have a minimum of 50% of the total
capacitance. This capacitance provides sufficient filtering to remove the switching noise and give better sense
accuracy. The type III compensation is already providing phase boost near the cross-over frequency, giving
sufficient phase margin.
ISYNSET
The ISYNSET pin is used to program the charge current threshold at which the charger changes from
nonsynchronous operation into synchronous operation. This prevents negative inductor current. Negative
inductor current may cause a boost effect in which the input voltage increases as power is transferred from the
battery to the input capacitors—this can lead to an overvoltage on the PVCC node and potentially cause some
damage to the system.
This programmable value allows setting the current threshold for any inductor current ripple, and avoiding
negative inductor current. The SYNP and SYNN pins are used to sense across the charge current sense
resistor.
To program the threshold, a resistor is connected from the ISYNSET pin to AGND. The minimum synchronous
threshold should be set from the inductor current ripple to the full ripple current, where the inductor current ripple
is given by.

ISYNSET current equal to 1 V/R(SYNSET). The ISYNSET current internally flows through a 500 Ω creating a
voltage at which the voltage across R(SENSE) is compared. The ISYN charge current threshold is the voltage
divided by the R(SENSE) sense resistor value. The R(SYNSET) resistor value is calculated by:

Figure 58. Synchronous to Nonsynchronous threshold, ISYNSET, Block – Charger Undercurrent
(prevents negative inductor current)
Synchronous versus Nonsynchronous Operation
The charger operates in nonsynchronous mode when the sensed charge current is below the ISYNSET
programmed value. When above the ISYNSET programmed value, the charger operates in synchronous mode.
During synchronous mode, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET is on, when the high-side n-channel power
MOSFET is off. The internal gate drive logic ensures there is break-before-make switching to prevent
shoot-through currents. During the dead-time where both FETs are off, the back-diode of the low-side power
MOSFET conducts the inductor current. Having the low-side FET turn-on keeps the power dissipation low, and
allows safely charging at high currents. During Synchronous mode the inductor current is always flowing and
operates in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) creating a fixed two-pole system. During nonsynchronous
operation: after the high-side n-channel power MOSFET turns off, and after the break-before-make dead-time,
the low-side n-channel power MOSFET turns on for around 80 ns, then the low-side power MOSFET turns off
and stays off until the beginning of the next cycle, where the high-side power MOSFET is turned on again. The
80 ns low-side MOSFET on-time is done to ensure the bootstrap capacitor is always recharged and able to keep
the high-side power MOSFET on during the next cycle. This is important for battery chargers, where unlike
regular dc-dc converters, there is a battery load that maintains a voltage and can both source and sink current.
The 80 ns low-side pulse pulls the PH node (connection between high and low-side MOSFET) down, allowing
the bootstrap capacitor to recharge up to the REGN LDO value. After the 80 ns, the low-side MOSFET is kept
off to prevent negative inductor current from occurring. The inductor current is blocked by the off low-side
MOSFET, and the inductor current becomes discontinuous. This mode is called Discontinuous Conduction Mode
(DCM).
During the DCM mode the loop response automatically changes and has a single pole system at which the pole
is proportional to the load current, because the converter does not sink current, and only the load provides a
current sink. This means at very low currents the loop response is slower, as there is less sinking current
available to discharge the output voltage.
At very low currents during nonsynchronous operation, there may be a small amount of negative inductor current
during the 80 ns recharge pulse. The charge should be low enough to be absorbed by the input capacitance.
Whenever the converter goes into zero percent duty-cycle, the high-side MOSFET does not turn-on, and the
low-side MOSFET does not turn-on (no 80 ns recharge pulse), so there is no discharge from the battery.
Battery Voltage Regulation Loop
The BAT pin is used to sense the battery voltage and should be connected as close to the battery as possible,
or directly to the output capacitor. A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from BAT to AGND is recommended—added as
close to the BAT pin as possible to decouple high frequency noise.

SLUS683C – NOVEMBER 2005 – REVISED DECEMBER 2006
The voltage regulation feedback is through the BAT pin. This input is tied directly to the positive side of the
battery pack. The bq24721 monitors the battery-pack voltage between the BAT and VSS pins. The regulation
voltage is programmed through the SBS-like SMBus interface.
The voltage regulation DAC register input is decoded into an internal 7-bit DAC that programs the voltage on a
per-cell basis, then is multiplied by the number of cells. There are a total of 128 voltage steps with a 6.25 mV
step, giving a per cell range of [4 V – (4.8 V–6.25 mV)]. There are 128 steps in the 3-cell voltage range of
[12 V – (14.4 V–18.75 mV)]. There are 128 steps in the 4-cell voltage range of [16 V – (19.2 V–25 mV)].
Valid voltage values are 9 V, 12 V–14.381 V, and 16 V–19.175 V. The internal voltage DAC allows programming
to 9 V which is used for waking-up or closing the battery pack. A 9 V programmed voltage is interpreted as a
2-cell voltage by the BATDEP and BATSHORT thresholds. Step size for 3-cell battery programming voltage is
18.75 mV. The Charger interprets a 3-cell battery for any voltage between 12 V–14.4 V. Step size for 4-cell
battery programming voltage is 25 mV. The charger interprets a 4-cell battery for any voltage programmed
between 16 V–19.2 V.
Invalid DAC voltages are indicated by the VOR (voltage out of range) bit of the status register. Voltages below
12 V (except for 9 V) are out of range and keep the converter disabled. Voltages between 14.4 V–16 V
(including 14.4 V, but not including 16 V) are out of range and keep the converter disabled. Voltages above 19.2
V (including 19.2 V) are out of range and allow the converter to charge, but the voltage is always set to the
maximum allowable voltage of 19.175 V = (19.2 V–25 mV).
Battery Charge Current Regulation Loop
The battery charge current DAC is set for a 10-mΩ sense resistor; however, resistors of other values can also
be used. The larger the sense resistance, the larger the sensed voltage, and the higher the regulation accuracy,
but at the expense of higher conduction losses. The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense across the sense
resistor.
The battery charge current, IO(CHARGE), is established by setting the external sense resistor, R(SNS_CHG), and the
SMBus charge current DAC (0 × 14). In order to set the current, first R(SNS_CHG) should be chosen based on the
regulation threshold V(IREG_CHG), across this resistor. The listed SBS current corresponds to a 10-mΩ sense
resistor.
R(SNS_CHG) = V(IREG_CHG) / IO(CHARGE)
Input Current Regulation Loop (DPM)
The ACP and ACN pins are used to sense across the sense resistor. The input current DAC is set for a 10-mΩ
sense resistor; however, resistors of other values can also be used. The larger the sense resistance, the larger
the sensed voltage, and the higher the regulation accuracy, but at the expense of higher conduction losses.
The input current, II(DPM), is established by setting the external sense resistor, R(SNS_DPM), and the SMBus input
current DAC (0 × 3F). In order to set the current, first R(SNS_DPM) is chosen based on the regulation threshold
V(IREG_DPM), across this resistor. The listed SBS current corresponds to a 10-mΩ sense resistor.
R(SNS_DPM) = V(IREG_DPM) / IO(CHARGE)
Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current
The charger automatically soft-starts the charger regulation current every time the charger is enabled, in order to
ensure there is no overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The soft-start consists of
stepping-up the charge regulation current into eight evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current
of register (0x14). Duration of each step is around 1 ms, for a typical rise time of 8 ms. No external components
are needed for this function.
The bq24721 current regulation loop reference steps-up whenever charge is enabled, and when returning from
fault/suspend mode into charge where the current regulator is turned on. The loop should take control within a
few hundred micro-seconds with very little overshoot due to the LC output filter and the high compensation loop
bandwidth with 300 kHz or 500 kHz operating frequency; therefore, the reference could ramp up from precharge
to fast-charge within 50 µs to 500 ms. Going into fault/suspend mode, short circuit (V(BAT) < V(UVT)), Sleepmode
(V(ACP) < V(BAT)), or UVLO (VCC < 3.7 V) initiates an immediate shut-off of the high-side PWM FET by setting its
gate to V(PH). The output inductor and battery load determines the ramp-down rate as it freewheels through the
Schottky diode.

High Accuracy Current Sense Amplifiers (CSA), IOUT pin, for Input Current and Charge Current
Industry standard, high accuracy current sense amplifiers (CSA) can be used to monitor the input current or the
charge current by the host or some discrete logic through the analog voltage output of the IOUT pin. The current
sense amplifier from the input current and the current sense amplifier of the charge current (voltage across
SRP-SRN pins) amplifies the input sensed voltage by 20x, through the Iout pin. The IOUT output is selectable
between the input current or the charge current, through a multiplexor that is controlled by the Charge Mode
(0x12) control register, IOUT Select bit (b3). The default setting is LO selecting the input current CSA.
Programming a HI selects the charger current CSA.
The IOUT output is a voltage source 20 times the input differential voltage. If the user wants to lower the
voltage, use a sense resistor from IOUT to AGND, and still achieve accuracy overtemperature as the resistors
match their thermal coefficients.
A 0.1-µF capacitor connected on the output is recommended for decoupling high-frequency noise. An additional
RC filter is optional, if additional filtering is desired. Note that adding filtering also adds additional response
delay.
Charger Overcurrent Protection
The charger has a secondary overcurrent protection function that monitors the charge current, and prevents it
from exceeding 200% of the programmed charge current. The high-side gate drive turns off and automatically
resume when the current falls below the overcurrent threshold
Current Regulation Down to Zero Battery Voltage
The bq24721 charger regulates charge current and input current down to zero volts on the battery BAT voltage.
If there is a drop below 2 V, then the converter immediately turns off both high-side and low-side FETs to stop
current flow, then resumes regulating the current. This ensures there is no overcurrent surge that could cause
damage to the battery, charger, or system.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The QFN package has low thermal impedance which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the
ambient, to keep junctions temperatures low. As added level of protection, the charger converter turns off and
self-protects whenever the junction temperature exceeds the T(SHUT) threshold of 145°C. The charger stays off
until the junction temperature falls below 130°C.
Battery Short-Circuit or Low Condition
The number of cells determines the value for the BATDEP threshold and for the BATSHORT threshold, as these
values are programmed on a per-cell basis. The programmed regulation voltage determines the number of cells.
The battery depleted (BATDEP) threshold is programmed by the control register bits b9-b11. The three bit dac
sets the voltage between 2.2 V to 2.9 V per cell at 100 mV increments. The BATSHORT threshold is 1.7 V/Cell
falling entering a shorted condition, and 1.9 V/Cell rising leaving shorted condition, and entering normal
condition. BATSHORT has a 1 second deglitch on both edge directions to protect from transient conditions, and
to allow closing deeply discharge battery packs.
The PWM duty-cycle immediately resets to zero percent when the battery voltage is sensed to drop below 2 V,
then the regulation loop allows the duty-cycle to settle in the current regulation value, C. After a 1 second
deglitch, the converter regulates battery current to C/8 when the battery voltage falls below 1.7 V/cell. The
converter regulates back at C after a 1 second deglitch from the time the battery voltage rises above 1.9 V/cell.
Charge Termination for Li-Ion or Li-Polymer
The primary termination method for Li-Ion and Li-Polymer is minimum current. Secondary temperature
termination methods is also provided for additional safety. The host controls the charge initiation and the
termination. A battery pack gas gauge assists the hosts on setting the voltages and determining when to
terminate based on the battery pack state of charge.

Temperature Qualification (TS pin)
The bq24721 continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and
AGND. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and an external voltage divider typically develop this
voltage. The bq24721 compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charging is allowed.
To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) thresholds. If battery
temperature is outside of this range, the bq24721 suspends charge and waits until the battery temperature is
within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. During the charge cycle (both precharge and fast charge) the battery
temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(TCO) thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this range, the
bq24721 suspends charge and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. The
bq24721 suspends charge by turning off the PWM charge FETs. Figure 59 summarizes this operation.

Programmed Voltage Value Difference Between Li-Ion and NiMH Battery Pack Charging
•
Li-Ion based battery packs require both current regulation and voltage regulation loops – where
constant-current and constant voltage is needed to fully charge the battery pack.
NiMH batteries require only a constant current for charging. Thereby, the voltage regulation loop is not
needed. To accomplish this, set the regulation voltage at a value greater than the maximum battery pack
voltage. This does not allow the voltage regulation loop to become active. The maximum value of 19.2 V is
set for most NiMH battery packs.

SBS-Like SMBus: Commands Implemented: Status Register
Charger Status, (0x13), Read-Only
All Status register bits are automatically updated by the IC whenever the system state changes, some bits have
an 8 ms deglitch to prevent false alerts. Whenever a status bit changes, the ALARM open drain output pulls
down to alert the host of a change in the status register. The ALARM stays low until the host performs a
STATUS register (0×13) read, afterward, the ALARM clears and goes high impedance. An external pull-up
resistor is needed at the ALARM pin.

retres again, allowing the high-side FET to turn-on the next cycle. This fault current limit continues until
the fault is removed.

BATTERY CONNECTED TO SYSTEM (by selector BATDRV)
(Note: Added Feature, Not part of SBS spec.)
HI indicates the battery is connected to the system output. LO indicates battery is not connected.
During this HI state, the BATDRV pin is pulled 6V below the SYS pin voltage to turn on the external
PMOS BAT FET. When in LO state, the BATDRV pin voltage is pulled-up to the SYS pin voltage.
6
CURRENT_OR
Battery is connected to system when ac is not present, or when ac is present and LEARN CYCLE is
set at the control register.
FEATURE: If in learn cycle and the battery falls below the BATDEP threshold (programmed by the
control register), then the IC automatically switches from battery power to ac adapter power.
FEATURE: Also, in all cases if system (SYS) voltage is more than 150 mV above the battery (BAT)
voltage then the BAT FET is kept off until SYS discharges to within 150 mV to prevent the system
capacitors from discharging into the battery. This feature protects the battery from extended high surge
currents.
ADAPTER CONNECTED TO SYSTEM (by selector ACDRV)
(Note: Added Feature, Not part of SBS spec.)
HI indicates the adapter is connected to the system output. LO indicates adapter is not connected.
During this HI state, the ACDRV pin is pulled 6 V below the PVCC pin voltage to turn on the external
PMOS AC FET. When in LO state, the ACDRV pin voltage is pulled-up to the PVCC pin voltage.
7
VOLTAGE_OR
AC is connected to system when adapter is present (ACDET voltage is above threshold) and LEARN
CYCLE is not set at the control register.
FEATURE: If in learn cycle and the battery falls below the BATDEP threshold (programmed by the
control register), then the IC automatically switches from battery power to ac adapter power.
FEATURE: If there is an adapter overcurrent (ACOC) is detected, then the AC FET is turned off
immediately to prevent a short-circuit condition or a surge current. This feature protects the battery
from extended high surge currents.
IC THERMAL SHUTDOWN FAULT
(Note: Added Feature, Not part of SBS spec.)
8
THERMISTOR_OR
A HI indicates the IC temperature is too high, and had to turn-off the charger. LO indicates
temperature is safe.
FAULT DETECTION AND PROTECTION FEATURE: The IC monitors its own junction temperature. If
the IC junction temperature exceeds 145°C, then the IC automatically shuts down the charger and an
ALARM is triggered. SMBus communications continues to function. The charger remains off until the
IC junction temperature falls below 130°C. The charger automatically restarts once the temperature
falls below the hysteresis at 130°C.
[THERMISTOR COLD

THERMISTOR_COLD
HI indicates the thermistor temperature is too cold to allow charging. The TS pin voltage threshold is
higher than the TS cold voltage threshold when this bit is HI. A LO means the TS voltage is below the
TS cold voltage threshold. Programmed by a voltage divider pulled up to the VREF5 pin.
Note: VREF5 only comes up when ac is detected to conserve battery power, since no charging would
be required.
THERMISTOR HOT (start) or (operating)
10
THERMISTOR_HOT
HI indicates the thermistor temperature is too hot to allow charging. The TS pin voltage threshold is
lower than the TS hot voltage threshold when this bit is HI. A LO means the TS voltage is above the
TS hot voltage threshold. There is a different voltage threshold before starting charge than during
charging (operating). Programmed by a voltage divider pulled up to the VREF5 pin.
Note: VREF5 only comes up when AC is detected to conserve battery power, since no charging is
required.

11
THERMISTOR_UR
This bit goes HI when the sensed BAT voltage is below the Battery Depleted threshold programmed
by the CONTROL register 0x12, bits 9, 10, and 11. The programmed voltage is per cell; therefore,
multiply by the number of cells set by the programmed battery voltage regulation DAC, register 0x15.
[3 cell for voltages between 12 V-14.4 V; and 4 cell for voltages between 16 V-19.2 V].
FEATURE: the BATDRV is turned off when the battery voltage falls below the BATDEP threshold, and
the AC DRV is turned on if adapter is connected, and had previously been in LEARN Cycle (bit 4 of
CONTROL register, 0x12).
VOR, VOLTAGE OUT OF RANGE (Note: moved function from bit7 of SBS spec) A HI indicates the
voltage DAC value from register 0x15 is out of the valid DAC voltage range. The IC either disables the
charge if below, or stays at the maximum possible programmed voltage (19.2 V) according to the
following. Valid voltage DAC range and effect.
12
ALARM_INHIBITED
• Valid voltages are 9 V, 12 V –14.4 V, and 16 V–19.2 V. Intermediate programmed voltages
between Internal DAC values are truncated to the lower value to avoid overvoltage on battery.
• Programmed Voltages above max 19.2 V → Charger is enabled and the voltage regulation value
is set to the maximum 19.2 V.
• Programmed voltages below 12 V (except 9 V), and between 14.4 V–16 V → Charger is
disabled, VOR bit is triggered, and an alarm sent to host.
• Programmed 9 V (9000 mV = 2328 Hex) → Charger regulates to 9-V output for battery wake-up.
ADAPTER VOLTAGE BELOW BATTERY PACK VOLTAGE
13
POWER_FAIL
(Note: Added Feature, Not part of SBS spec.) A HI on this bit indicates the battery voltage is above the
adapter voltage (BAT pin > ACP pin).
FEATURE: If the input falls below 150 mV above the Battery voltage, the BYPASS FET immediately
turns off to prevent reverse discharge of the battery into the adapter. There is an 8 ms deglitch and
100 mV to hysteresis before allowing the BYPASS FET to turn-on.
BATTERY DETECTED ( through thermistor pin)
FEATURE: HI indicates a battery is detected through the TS pin. The TS pin voltage threshold is lower
than the TS battery detect threshold when this bit is HI. A LO means the TS voltage is above the TS
battery detect threshold. A resistor to ground inside the battery is used to distinguish a good battery
from a bad battery as well. Programmed by a voltage divider pulled up to the VREF5 pin.
14
BATTERY PRESENT
Note: VREF5 only comes up when ac is detected to conserve battery power, since no charging is
required.
(Note: Added Feature. This is used for detecting proper battery connected by selecting the proper valid
resistance. This is need to be ORed for dual battery pack chargers to make feature optimal. This
feature also is used as a safety feature to stop charge immediately when the battery pack is not
detected – this allows a faster response time by autonomously terminating charge when no battery is
detected, as opposed to waiting until the host detects the battery is removed and then alerting the
charger.
AC ADAPTOR DETECTED
15
(MSB)
AC_PRESENT
This bit is HI when the adapter is detected (ACDET pin voltage is above the acdetect threshold of
2.4V). The voltage can be programmed by an external resistor divider from adapter input to ground.
Charge is not allowed until the ACDET threshold is exceeded. VREF5 LDO output only turns on when
the ACDET threshold is exceeded (adapter detected).
REGN POR and SMBus communication begins soon after the ACDET threshold is above 1.2 V and
the VCC is above 6.5 V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SMBus Overview
An SMBus communication port provides a simple way for an SMBus compatible host to access system status
information and reset fault modes. Functioning as a SLAVE port enables SMBus compatible hosts to WRITE to
internal registers or READ from internal registers. The bq24721 SMBus port is a 2-wire bidirectional interface
using SCL (clock) and SDA (data) pins; the SDA pin is open drain and requires an external pull-up. The SMBus
is designed to operate at SCL frequencies up to 100 kHz. The standard 8 bit command is supported, the CMD
part of the sequence is the 8 bit register address which is READ from or WRITE to. The bq24721 does not
support packet error correction, PEC, as a mechanism to confirm proper communication between it and the
host.
SMBus Address
The SMBus specification contains several global addresses, to which the slaves on the bus are required to
respond. The bq24721 responds to the SBS charger addresses of 0×12 for writes and 0×13 for reads. The
bq24721 only responds (ACK) to the above listed addresses, and does (NACK) not respond to any other
address.

operation. However, if a 2 second (typical) SDA low timeout is exceeded the bq24721 releases the bus, thus
creating a stop condition.

SMBus Read/Write Sequences
The bq24721 supports the standard SMBus Word Write, as well as the SMBus Word READ. The basic SMBus
word read protocol has the following steps:
1. Host sends a start and bq24721 SMBus slave write address
2. bq24721 ACKs that this is a valid SMBus address and that the bus is configured for write
3. Host sends bq24721 command
4. bq24721 ACKs that this is a valid command and stores the command for a possible read
5. Host sends a repeated start and bq24721 SMBus slave read address, reconfiguring the bus for read
6. bq24721 ACKs that this is a valid address and that bus is reconfigured
7. Bus is in read mode, bq24721 starts sending 2 bytes of data chosen by the command.
The SMBus write protocol is similar to the read, without the need for a repeated start and bus being set in write
mode. If the address sent by host is not a valid address , the command is NACKed. The host can complete a
READ or a WRITE sequence with either a STOP or a START. In a WRITE it is not necessary to end each word
WRITE command with a STOP, a START has the same effect (repeated start).

preceding command. The command sequence is terminated by a STOP. The START and the STOP both act as
priority interrupts. If the host has been interrupted and is not sure where it left off, it sends a STOP and resets
the bq24721 state machine to the Idle state. Once in idle state, bq24721 ignores all activity on the SCL and SDA
lines until it receives a START. If a read sequence is terminated early by a START or STOP, the entire
sequence must be restarted by the host for valid data.

Status and Control Registers
The SMBUS-Like communication engine allows easy access to system status data contained in internal
registers that contain information on current status for system power selection, charger mode and fault
conditions. Any change on the state of those bits generates an interrupt request to the host (ALARM pin = HI).

DESIGN CALCULATIONS EXAMPLE
System Requirements (See Figure 52)
For a system using a 20 V, ±5%, 80-W adapter, use a 12.6-V (3-cell) or 16.8-V (4-cell) battery, with a charge
current regulation threshold of 4 A, and a precharge/wake-up current of 300 mA. The battery pack voltage varies
from a deeply discharged voltage of 3-V per cell, and up to a regulation voltage of 4.2-V per cell— giving ranges
of 9-V to 12.6-V for 3-cell batteries, and 12-V to 16.8-V for 4-cell batteries.
Select the Sense Resistors
The SBS specification was done based on a 10-mΩ sense resistor. The charger operates with low resistance. If
the thermal dissipation is tolerable, a larger sense resistor (such as 20 mΩ) is used to provide greater accuracy
in the regulation and current sense amplifier.
For this design example, a 10-mΩ sense resistor is selected for both the input current and output charge current
sense resistors.
The power dissipation for each sense resistor is:
2
P (RSENSE_INPUT) + R(SENSE_DPM)
I (INPUT_REG) + 10 mW
ǒ8019 WV Ǔ
2
+ 177 mW

current. In this case, a 4-A charge regulation current requires 40-µF output capacitance. Four 10-µF X5R 25-V
ceramic capacitors are recommended instead of 22 µF, because of a better trade-off with the voltage rating,
size, capacitance variation, and cost.
The output capacitors is divided evenly. Place the charge current sense resistor between the capacitors. This
provides filtering and a higher phase margin for accurate current sensing and regulation.
With this output capacitance, the steady state output ripple voltage is:

where ESR is the equivalent series resistance of the capacitors (10 mΩ each giving 5 mΩ for two capacitors
before the sense resistor and 5 mΩ for two capacitors after the sense resistor), and ESL is the equivalent series
inductance of the capacitors (0.5 nH).

V(OUT_RIPPLE) = 57 mV + 14 mV + 0.56 mV = 72 mV ripple voltage (which equals 0.6% of 12.6 V) worst case
peak-to-peak steady state ripple when the battery is removed and the charger is on.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitance is at a minimum the same as the output capacitance. Lower capacitance is used directly
at the converter input when the input is tied directly to the system load while charging. The capacitors are placed
as close as possible to the high-side FET drain (PVCC) and low-side FET source (PGND). A rule for selecting
ceramic capacitors as the bulk output capacitor is to select 10 µF per 1 A of charge current. In this case, a 4-A
charge regulation current requires 40-µF output capacitance. Four 10-µF X5R 25-V ceramic capacitors are
recommended instead of 22 µF, because of a better trade-off with the voltage rating, size, capacitance variation,
and cost. The input ripple voltage is usually larger because the input current ripple through the capacitor is the
full charge current.

VI(RIPPLE) = 143 mV + 10 mV + 1.4 mV = 154 mV which is 0.77% of the nominal 20-V input voltage.
Note that a single 10-µF capacitor is used from PVCC (close to the drain of the high-side FET) to PGND, when
the system load is connected to PVCC, because the capacitors on the system rail provide the hold-up
capacitance needed.
Selecting the High-Side Power MOSFET, Q3
The high-side power MOSFET should be an NMOS power MOSFET with a standard voltage rating of 30 V to
support the 20-V input voltage. The current carrying capability should be at least 2x the maximum charge
current. Both the rDS(on) and the gate charge contribute to the power dissipation, while the worst case condition
occurs at max duty cycle (minimum input voltage and maximum battery voltage). The gate drive losses are the
only component that directly dissipate heat in the charger IC.
The FDS6680A was selected. The FDS6680A is a NMOS, 30-V, 12-mΩ device in an SO-8 package.

Where G(GS) is the gate charge from threshold current conducts until full charge current conducts; Q(GD) is the
miller charge where the drain voltage drops, and the Q(GTOT) is the total gate charge form off to fully-enhanced
on. The full input voltage is used for gate drive calculation because the internal gate drive regulator dissipates
the drop from input voltage to the 6-V output voltage which must be added to charging the gates to 6-V every
cycle.

The low-side power MOSFET should be an NMOS power MOSFET with a standard voltage rating of 30 V to
support the 20-V input voltage. The current carrying capability should be at least 2x the maximum charge
current. By nature of the synchronous rectifier operation, the drain-to-source voltage is always low at full charge
current when the low-side FET turns on—this makes switching losses insignificant, except for the reverse

recovery and dead-time contributors that arise from letting the body-diode conduct. The conduction losses and
gate drive losses are the dominant power dissipation; while, the worst case condition occurs at minimum duty
cycle (maximum input voltage and minimum battery voltage). The gate drive losses are the only component that
directly dissipate heat in the charger IC. Note that the reverse recovery losses are included in this calculation,
but the dissipation occurs in the high-side power MOSFET.
The FDS6670A was selected. The FDS6670A is an NMOS, 30-V, 12-mΩ device in an SO-8 package.

where the charger’s 6-V gate drive voltage helps reduce the rDS(on) for lower conduction losses.
The first order approximation switching losses are dominated by reverse recovery losses and dead-time losses
given by:
P(SW) = VImax × Q(RR)× fSW + I(CGRG)× V(F)× 2 × t(dead-time) x fSW
and the gate drive losses are :
P(GD) = Q(GTOT)× VImim x fSW.
Where t(dead-time) is the dead-time where both FETs are off on either edge, Q(RR) is the reverse recovery charge,
Q(GTOT) is the total gate charge form off to fully-enhanced on. The full input voltage is used for gate drive
calculation because the internal gate drive regulator dissipates the drop from input voltage to the 6-V output
voltage which must be added to charging the gates to 6 V every cycle.

Optional Schottky Diode across Low-Side FET
An optional Schottky diode can be used across the low-side power MOSFET (with cathode to drain and anode
to source) to help reduce both the V(F) losses and reverse recovery losses. The Schottky diode is selected on
the basis of the V(F) at I(CHRG), but a power rating for the full current is not required since the Schottky primarily
conducts during the dead-times, which is a fraction of the total switching period.
Power loss for the Schottky are:
P(SW) = I(CHRG)× VF× 2 × t(dead-time) x fSW = 4 A × 0.5 V × 2 × 30 ns × 300 kHz = 36 mW

DESIGN CALCULATIONS EXAMPLE (continued)
Selecting the System Power Selector Power MOSFETs, Q1, Q2, Q5
The system power selector power MOSFETs (Q1, Q2, Q5) must be PMOS power MOSFETs with a standard
voltage rating of 30 V to support the 20-V input voltage, and must have a low rDS(on) to minimize conduction
losses. The continuous current carrying capability should be at least 2x the maximum charge current. Both the
rDS(on) and the gate charge contribute to the power dissipation, while the worst case condition occurs at max duty
cycle (minimum input voltage and maximum battery voltage). The gate drive losses are the only component that
directly dissipate heat in the charger IC.
The SI4435 was selected for Q1, Q2, and Q5. The SI4435 is a PMOS, 30-V, 35-mΩ device in an SO-8 package.
The conduction losses equal:
P(CON) = I(RMS)2× rDS(on),
I(RMS_Q1) = I(RMS_Q2) = I(RMS_Q5) = I(SYS)max
where I(RMS) is the RMS current expected for each MOSFET, and I(SYS)max is the maximum continuous system
current.
Note that for Q1, the charge current is not used because the charge current drops to zero as the system current
(I(SYS)max) equals or exceeds the programmed input current DAC threshold (IDPM). This is assuming the typical
case where I(SYS)max > I(DPM).
The system power selector’s -6-V gate drive voltage helps reduce the rDS(on) for lower conduction losses.
Calculate the Bootstrap Capacitor
The minimum bootstrap capacitor is calculated by the high-side turn-on charge requirements per cycle and the
gate drive voltage required. The total gate charge for the FDS6680A high-side power FET is Q(GTOT) = 18 nC,
and the maximum gate drive voltage drop allowed is V(DROP) = 0.5 V. The switching frequency of 300 kHz gives
a cycle period of 3.33 µs.

Select C(BTST) = C12 = 100 nF = 0.1 µF. Connect C12 between the PH and the BTST pins. Also connect a
bootstrap Schottky diode, D2 , from the REGN pin to the BTST pin. The current rating for the bootstrap diode,
D2, is determined by:

Use a 100-mA rated Schottky diode.
An optional 4.7-Ω bootstrap resistor is placed between the BTST pin and the node where C12 and D2 are
connected, in order to minimize ringing by lowering slew rate on the PH node voltage. For lower gate charge
FETs, a larger resistor value can be used up to 10 Ω or 15 Ω. Using larger resistor values increase the switching
losses, and lower the efficiency.
Calculate the ACDET Programming Resistors
The adapter is detected when the ACDET pin voltage (sensed adapter input voltage scaled down by resistor
divider) exceeds the 1.2 V. The adapter voltage threshold is set to a value less than the minimum adapter
voltage, and higher than the maximum battery pack voltage. [Important: don’t set the value less than the
maximum battery pack voltage, otherwise adapter removal is never detected when the battery is connected, and
the battery pack could potentially be drained when no adapter is present]. For this design example, VImin = 19

Calculate the Thermistor Sense, TS, Programming Resistors
The TS comparator programming resistors need the cold pack temperature to disable charge defined, and the
hot pack temperature to disable charge defined. The battery cell manufacturer defines the limits. For this
example, the pack charging temperature limits are: cold temperature = T(COLD) = 0°C, and hot temperature
T(HOT) = 45°C. The charger is not allowed to charge at these temperatures and outside this range, to protect the
battery pack.
Using an industry standard Semitec 202AT NTC Thermistor, the thermistor cold temperature resistance is
R(TH_C) = 64.88 kΩ; and the thermistor hot temperature resistance of R(TH_H) = 8.716 kΩ. These values are found
in the 202AT thermistor manufacturer’s data sheet.
The comparator voltage cold limit threshold is V(LTF) = 73.5% of VREF5 = 0.735 × 5 V = 3.675 V, where
VREF5 = 5 V. Likewise, the comparator voltage hot limit threshold is V(HTF) = 34.4% of VREF5 = 0.344 × 5 V =
1.72 V.
Since the internal references are with respect to VREF5, R5 is connected from the VREF5 pin to the TS pin, and
connect R13 from the TS pin to the AGND pin. The R5 and R13 resistor values are calculated by solving the
following two equations:
R (VREF_TS) + R5 +
