BAT (Pin 2): Input to Battery Monitor Circuits and OVP Resistor Divider. The battery monitor circuits activate trickle charge preconditioning, battery present detection and C/10 current detection. This pin is in a high impedance state when VCC is below the undervoltage lockout threshold. During trickle charge preconditioning and charging the BAT pin sources 16mA and 1.3mA respectively. The current sources are clamped from driving the BAT pin above 4.5V/cell with an internal pull-down transistor. In the No Bat, Done and Pause states or the Hold and Reset modes, the current sources are turned off, leaving only the 55k OVP divider as a load on the BAT pin. Most chargers have a 200µA current source that will compensate for this 50µA to 80µA load. SENSE (Pin 3): Input to C/10 Current Detection Circuit. This pin sinks 100µA during the Charge state which is used to program the C/10 current threshold. GND (Pin 4): Ground. NTC (Pin 5): Input to the NTC Thermistor Monitoring Circuits. When the voltage on this pin is above 2.79V (cold) or below 0.405V (hot), the state machine is locked in the present state and the timer is stopped. This is called the Hold mode. While in the Hold mode, the charger is turned off via the VC pin and the current sources on BAT and SENSE pins are turned off. The STATUS pin is not affected. 4 If the NTC pin is below 0.2V, the state machine is forced in the reset mode with all the timers cleared to zero. The current sources on the BAT pin and SENSE pin are disabled leaving the 55k OVP divider. The STATUS pin is pulled low in the Reset mode. There is a 100µA current source on the NTC pin to bias the NTC thermistor. This current source is active while the VCC is greater than the undervoltage lockout threshold. STATUS (Pin 6): Open-Drain Output for C/10 Charge Termination Detection Circuit. When in the Charge state, this pin is pulled low. Once the charge current drops below the C/10 current threshold for three seconds, the pulldown transistor is disabled, and a 50µA pull-down current sink remains activated until the 1- or 3-hour time-out or the battery or wall adapter is removed. VC (Pin 7): Open-Drain Output for turning off the charger. When this pin is open circuit, the charger is active. Normally this pin allows the charger to be active for three hours. VCC (Pin 8): Input Supply. For 4.1V or 4.2V single cell operation, VCC should be between 8V and 28V with the IC turning off when VCC drops below 6V. For 2-cell applications, the undervoltage lockout is 10.4V with a minimum VCC of 12V. Removing the wall adapter will trigger an undervoltage lockout and put the part in a high impedance condition. When the supply is connected, the part is initialized in the Reset mode with the state machine forced in the Charge state with all the timers set to zero.

Block Diagram U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Overview The LTC1729 is a charge termination controller for the LT1505/LT1510/LT1511/LT1512/LT1513/LT1769 constant-voltage/constant-current battery charger family. Table 1 details these chargers. The primary function of this IC is to stop the charger after three hours of constantvoltage/constant-current charging. The secondary function of this controller includes an indication when the charge current (during constant-voltage mode) drops below a user-selected threshold. A 500kHz Li-Ion cell phone charger is shown in Figure 1. The LTC1729 only needs six external components when combined with the standard LT1510 application. The LTC1729 provides a complete and tiny solution for cellular phones and other portable applications. Table 1.

The IC consists of six comparators, a resistive divider, a UVLO block and a logic and timer block. The comparator COMP1 is used to indicate C/10 charge current threshold. (“C” is a term used to indicate the Ampere-hour capacity of a cell.) Figure 3 details the C/10 detection circuit. The resistor and capacitor on the SENSE pin filter the signal from the 0.2Ω current sense resistor R1. The 100µA current sink on the SENSE pin develops 20mV across the 200Ω resistor R2. This sets a 20mV offset on COMP1 that sense resistor R1 must equal before C/10 current is indicated. The C/10 is not recognized by the logic until it passes through a 3-second digital filter. For cases where there are multiple batteries to be charged, the LTC1729 detects when a battery is removed and resets the timers for the next charge cycle. The battery present detection is the primary function of comparator COMP2. When the battery is disconnected from the LTC1729, the voltage at the BAT pin will begin ramping upward. This is due to a current source inside the charger or an external pull-up resistor. Once the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the 4.5V/cell limit, COMP2 signals a VMAX = true to the logic and turns on a transistor that clamps the voltage. There is the possibility of an overvoltage transient at the charging terminals. This occurs if the battery protection circuit, which is often included in the battery pack, opens the connection to the battery during high current charging (constant-current mode). This is a result of energy storage in the inductor. COMP2 senses the overvoltage and clamps the VC pin, reducing the duty cycle of the charger. If the battery protection circuit quickly returns battery connection to the charger (in less than one second), then the LTC1729 continues charging without resetting the timers. For a battery that has been over-discharged, the LTC1729 provides a 16mA start-up current. This preconditioning trickle charge begins when the battery voltage drops below 2.7V/cell. Comparator COMP3 is used to determine when this condition exists. The battery operating range is summarized in Figure 4. With a 10k negative TC thermistor connected to the NTC pin, the LTC1729 will disable charging if the temperature is not in the 0°C to 50°C range. A thermistor must be present at this pin, or if the temperature qualification feature is not used, a 10k resistor must be used in its place. This pin should not be left open. The NTC thermistor monitoring circuits consist of COMP4, COMP5 and COMP6. The NTC pin voltage range is shown in Figure 5. Comparators COMP4 and COMP5 signal the logic when the temperature is below 0°C or above 50°C. The 100µA bias current through the 10kΩ thermistor will generate 2.79V at 0°C and 0.405V at 50°C. The voltage hysteresis on COMP4 and COMP5 is designed to give 10°C of temperature hysteresis. If the voltage on the NTC pin drops below 0.2V, the comparator COMP6 generates a reset to the logic and timer block. To provide accurate charge voltages, the internal resistor divider is trimmed to provide a precise ±0.2% voltage of 2.465V at the OVP pin for the four battery voltage options of 4.1V, 4.2V, 8.2V and 8.4V.

NTC Voltage Operating Range When the input supply is removed in step-down charger designs, the VCC pin does not drop to 0V, but is held to a diode drop below the battery voltage. This is due to the internal parasitic diode from the SW pin to the VCC pin that is present in the LT1510, LT1511, LT1769, and the body diode of the top MOSFET in the LT1505 charger. Removing the input supply will result in the VCC pin dropping below the UVLO threshold, thus shutting down the LTC1729 and minimizing battery drain. Once the input supply is connected, the LTC1729 resets the timers and begins another charge cycle. There is a disconnect transistor that will remove the OVP resistor divider from the battery when the VCC voltage drops below the UVLO threshold. Figure 6. State Diagram The logic and timer block consists of a state machine, oscillator and counter. The state machine will be discussed in detail in the next section. The oscillator is internally trimmed to 131kHz. The counter is composed of a chain of 25 flip-flops that includes self-test circuitry. State Machine The state machine is responsible for the following items: 1. When to start and stop the charger. The internal timer must be initialized every time a new battery is installed or when the input supply is applied. 2. When a battery is installed, the state machine must determine if it is a new battery or if the previous battery has been reinstalled. 7 LTC1729 Series U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 3. When a heavily discharged battery is installed, trickle charge conditioning must take place before the full charge current. requirement for this transition is for the BAT pin voltage to exceed VMAX for more than one second. The IC now assumes that the battery has been removed. The state machine diagram is shown in Figure 6. Note that the Charge state includes the Precondition state, the charger “ON” state and the Reset mode. From the No Bat state, there is only one possible transition. The No Bat state can move to the Charge state if the voltage on the BAT pin remains less than VMAX for one second. The LTC1729 will now work on the assumption that a new battery has been installed. Reset and Hold are the two modes that will cause the charger to stop charging (VC pin pulled low) and ignore the state machine. The Reset mode clears all the timers and forces the state machine to begin in the Charge state (STATUS pin pulled low). This mode is only activated momentarily at power-up or when the NTC pin is below the Reset threshold. The other interrupt condition is called the Hold mode. When the voltage on the NTC pin is above 2.79V (cold) or below 0.405V (hot), the state machine is locked in the present state until the NTC pin voltage returns to the proper range. While in the Hold mode, the charging is disabled and the timers are frozen. The charger is enabled only during the charger “ON” state. There are three ways that the state machine can exit the charger “ON” state. The first is for a 3-hour time-out which is denoted as the time > tMAX transition to the Done state. Second, if the battery is removed from the charger, the VMAX signal is activated as mentioned in the Block Diagram section. This causes the state machine to make the VBAT > VMAX transition to the Pause state. The third way to exit the charger “ON” state is with a VBAT < VMIN transition to the Precondition state. The battery will need to drop below 2.6V/cell to be less than VMIN. This is not a likely scenario. Once in the Pause state, there are two ways to proceed. The first is to go to the No Bat state. This requires that the VBAT remain greater than VMAX for more than one second. From these conditions, the LTC1729 interprets that a battery has been removed. If the voltage on the BAT pin stays less than VMAX for more than one second, then the state machine returns to the Charge state (Precondition and charger “ON”). This is interpreted as a momentary open caused by the battery pack protection circuitry or loose contact. The Done state can only proceed to the No Bat state. From outside the LTC1729 this transition is undetectable. The 8 Although the Precondition and Charger “ON” both reside in the Charge state, there are differences between these states. The main purpose of the Precondition state is to slowly bring a heavily discharged battery up to a minimum level before full charge current begins. The Precondition state uses a 16mA current source to trickle charge the battery with a 1-hour time-out transition to the Done state. The Charger “ON” state enables the external charger and the time-out is increased to three hours. For the entire time in the Precondition state, the STATUS pin uses a hard pull-down. In the Charger “ON” state the STATUS pin uses two types of pull-down: hard pull-down and soft 50µA pull-down. The STATUS pin is designed to provide an indication that the battery is charging. Once the current drops below the C/10 threshold, the battery is close to being fully charged. The LTC1729 turns off the hard pull-down once the C/10 comparator is active for more than three seconds. The 50µA soft pull down remains in effect until the 3-hour time-out is completed or the input power is removed. Terminate at C/10 Current Charging can also be terminated using C/10 detection rather than the 3-hour time-out. By connecting the low side of the NTC thermistor to the STATUS pin instead of ground, the NTC pin will float to 5V as soon as the Status pull-down is open. This will force the state machine into the Hold mode. The VC pin is pulled low which turns off the charger. This circuit is shown in Figure 7. In order to restart the charging process for a new battery, the NTC pin will need to be momentarily brought below 0.2V or the VCC pin brought below the UVLO threshold. The automatic battery detection features are disabled during the Hold mode.

This C/10 number is not fixed, but is set by an external resistor connected to the LTC1729 SENSE pin.
