DATASHEET ISL6298 FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 Li-ion/Li-Polymer Battery Charger The ISL6298 is an integrated single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery charger optimized for low current applications. The targeted applications include mini-disk (MD) players, Blue Tooth headsets, or other applications that use low-capacity battery cells. Features The ISL6298 is a linear charger that charges the battery in a CC/CV (constant current/constant voltage) profile. The charge current is programmable with an external resistor up to 450mA during the CC phase. Once the battery voltage reaches 4.2V (or 4.1V), the charger enters CV mode and the charge current starts to reduce. When the charger current drops to a user-programmable threshold, the charger indicates the end-of-charge with a STATUS pin. The charger does not actually terminate until a user-programmable total fast charge time is reached. If the battery voltage drops to a recharge threshold after termination, the charger will recharge the battery to its full capacity. The charger preconditions the battery with 20% of the programmed CC current if the battery voltage is below 2.8V. The total precharge time is limited to 1/8 of the total fast charge time. • 1% Voltage Accuracy The ISL6298 features charge current thermal foldback to guarantee safe operation when the printed circuit board is space-limited for thermal dissipation. Additional features include an NTC thermistor interface for monitoring the ambient temperature, the ability to disable the time limit of the fast charge, an FAULT indication, and a thermally enhanced QFN or DFN package.

Connect the EN pin to LOW to disable the charger or leave it floating to enable the charger. VIN is the input power source. Connect to a wall adapter. V2P8 (Pin 8 for 4x4; Pin 7 for 3x3) Fault (Pin 2) FAULT is an open-drain output indicating fault status. This pin is pulled to LOW under any fault conditions. Status (Pin 3) This is a 2.8V reference voltage output. This pin outputs a 2.8V voltage source when the input voltage is above POR threshold and outputs zero otherwise. The V2P8 pin can be used as an indication for adapter presence. STATUS is an open-drain output indicating charging and inhibit states. The STATUS pin is pulled LOW when the charger is charging a battery. IREF (Pin 9 for 4x4; Pin 8 for 3x3) Time (Pin 4) IMIN (Pin 10 for 4x4; N/A for 3x3) The TIME pin determines the oscillation period by connecting a timing capacitor between this pin and GND. The oscillator also provides a time reference for the charger. IMIN is the programmable input for the end-of-charge current. For the 3x3 DFN package, this pin is shorted to the V2P8 pin internally. GND (Pin 5) TEMP (Pin 11 for 4x4; Pin 9 for 3x3) GND is the connection to system ground. TEMP is the input for an external NTC thermistor. The TEMP pin is also used for battery removal detection. TOEN (Pin 6 for 4x4; N/A for 3x3) TOEN is the TIMEOUT enable input pin. Pulling this pin to LOW disables the TIMEOUT function. Leaving this pin HIGH or floating enables the TIMEOUT limit. For the 3x3 DFN package, this pin is left floating internally. This is the programming input for the constant charging current. VBAT (Pin 12, 13, 14 for 4x4; Pin 10 for 3x3) VBAT is the connection to the battery. Typically a 10F Tantalum capacitor is needed for stability when there is no battery attached. When a battery is attached, only a 1F ceramic capacitor is required.

FIGURE 19. BLOCK PROGRAM FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 Page 9 of 17 ISL6298 Theory of Operation The ISL6298 is an integrated charger optimized for lowcapacity single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer batteries. It charges a battery with the constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) profile. The charge current is trimmed to have better than 10% accuracy at 250mA and is programmable up to 450mA. The charge voltage has 1% accuracy. Figure 20 shows the typical operating waveforms after power on. The power is applied at t0. When the input voltage reaches the power-on reset (POR) threshold at t1, the V2P8 pin starts to output a 2.8V supply. This supply also powers the internal control circuit. The POR initiates a charge cycle. Six different ways can initiate a charge cycle, as listed in Table 1. TABLE 1. EVENTS THAT LEADS TO A NEW CHARGE CYCLE # EVENT 1 Power on Reset 2 The VIN pin voltage drops below the VBAT pin voltage and then rises back above the VBAT pin voltage 3 A new battery being inserted (detected by TEMP pin) 4 The battery voltage drops below a recharge threshold after completing a charge cycle 5 recovery from a battery over-temperature fault 6 the EN pin is toggled from GND to floating Power on Reset (POR) The ISL6298 resets itself as the input voltage rises above the POR rising threshold. The V2P8 pin outputs a 2.8V voltage, the internal oscillator starts to oscillate, the internal timer is reset, and the charger begins to charge the battery. The two indication pins, STATUS and FAULT, indicate a LOW and a HIGH logic signal respectively. Figure 20 illustrates the startup of the charger between t0 to t2. The ISL6298 has a typical rising POR threshold of 3.4V and a falling POR threshold of 2.4V. The 2.4V falling threshold guarantees charger operation with a current-limited adapter to minimize the thermal dissipation. See more details on using a current-limited adapter in the ISL6292 datasheet, available at http://www.intersil.com. The internal oscillator (see the Block Diagram) establishes a timing reference. The oscillation period is programmable with an external timing capacitor, CTIME, as shown in Typical Applications. The oscillator charges the timing capacitor to 1.5V and then discharges it to 0.5V in one period, both with 10A current. The period TOSC is: 6 T OSC = 0.2 10 C TIME sec onds (EQ. 1) A 1nF capacitor results in a 0.2ms oscillation period. Total Fast Charge Time The total fast charge time TIMEOUT is also programmed by the CTIME. A 22-stage binary counter increments each oscillation period to set the TIMEOUT, thus, VIN POR Threshold TIMEOUT = 2 Charge Cycle Charge Cycle 22 C TIME T OSC = 14 -----------------1nF minutes (EQ. 2) A 1nF capacitor leads to 14 minutes of TIMEOUT. If a user needs to set the TIMEOUT to 3.5 hours, a 15nF capacitor is required. The charger must reach EOC before the charger terminates, otherwise, a TIMEOUT fault will be issued. STATUS 15 Cycles to 1/8 TIMEOUT FAULT After termination, if the battery voltage drops below a recharge threshold (t6 in Figure 20), a re-charge cycle will take place. The total time for the recharge cycle is the total fast charge time (t7 to t8). The trickle charge time is negligible in a recharge cycle. More detailed description for the operation is given below. Internal Oscillator A charge cycle goes through a trickle mode (t1 to t2), a constant current (CC) mode (t2 to t3) and a constant voltage (CV) mode (t3 to t5). The total fast charge (CC and CV) time (t2 to t5) is programmed by users to prevent charging a faulty battery for an excessively long time. At the end of the fast charge time (t5), the charger is terminated. The charger must reach an end-of-charge (EOC) condition before the termination; otherwise, the charger issues a fault indication through the FAULT pin. The charger issues a logic low signal at the STATUS pin at the beginning of a charge cycle. When the V2P8 EOC condition is reached, the STATUS rises to high, as shown at t4. Trickle Charge Time VRECHRG VBAT 15 Cycles 2.8V VMIN IMIN ICHARGE t0 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 FIGURE 20. TYPICAL OPERATING WAVEFORMS FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 t8 The trickle charge time is limited to 1/8 of TIMEOUT. If the trickle charge time (t1 to t2) exceeds the limit, a TIMEOUT fault will be issued. The end of trickle charger is determined by the battery voltage staying above the trickle charge threshold (given in the Electrical Specification) for 15 consecutive cycles of TOSC; therefore, the minimum time the charger stays in the trickle mode is 15 cycles. Usually for a recharge cycle, the Page 10 of 17 ISL6298 trickle charge time is 15 cycles (t6 to t7 in Figure 20). If the battery voltage falls below the trickle charge threshold during the 15 cycles, the 15-cycle counter is reset (not the totaltrickle-charge-time counter) and the charger remains in the trickle mode. Disabling TIMEOUT Limit The TOEN pin allows the user to disable the fast charge TIMEOUT limit by pulling the TOEN pin to LOW or shorting it to GND. When this happens, the charger never terminates. The STATUS pin still issues the EOC indication when the EOC condition is reached. The EOC indication is latched and does not change until a new charge cycle starts, initiated by the events listed in Table 1. Leaving the TOEN pin floating is recommended to enable the TIMEOUT. Driving the TOEN pin above 3.0V is not recommended. The trickle charge time limit can never be disabled. For the 3x3 DFN package option, the TOEN pin is left floating internally and, therefore, the TIMEOUT cannot be disabled. CC Mode Current Programming The charge current is programmed by the IREF pin. There are three ways to program the charge current: 1. driving the IREF pin above 1.3V 3. or using the RIREF as shown in the Typical Applications. The voltage of IREF is regulated to a 0.8V reference voltage when not driven by any external source. The charging current during the CC mode is 25,000 times that of the current in the RIREF resistor. Hence, depending on how the IREF pin is used, the charge current is, V IREF 1.3V R IREF (EQ. 3) V IREF 0.4V 1. By connecting a resistor between the IMIN pin and ground, 2. Or by connecting the IMIN pin to the V2P8 pin. When programming with the resistor, the IEOC is set in the equation below: V REF 0.8V I EOC = 2500 ---------------- = 2500 ---------------- A R IMIN R IMIN (EQ. 5) where RIMIN is the resistor connected between the IMIN pin and the ground, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit. When connected to the V2P8 pin, the IEOC is set to 1/10 of ICHARGE given in EQ. 3, except when the IREF pin is shorted to GND. Under this exception, IEOC is 5mA. For the ISL6298 in the 3x3 DFN package, the IMIN pin is connected internally to the V2P8 pin. EOC Conditions The EOC indication is asserted when the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously: The actual charge current may be affected by the thermal foldback function. See the Thermal Foldback section for more details. Trickle Mode Current The charge current in the trickle mode is 20% of the programmed CC mode charge current, that is: I TRICKLE = 0.2 I CHARGE where ICHARGE is the charge current given in EQ. 3. 2. The charge current is lower than the EOC current. The two conditions can prevent prematurely indicating EOC due to thermal foldback or other transient events. Recharge After a charge cycle is completed, charging is prohibited until the battery voltage drops to a recharge threshold, VRECHRG (see Electrical Specifications). Then a new charge cycle starts at point t6 and ends at point t8, as shown in Figure 20. The safety timer is reset at t6. 2.8V Voltage Regulator The internal reference voltage at the IREF pin is capable of sourcing less than 100A current. When pulling down the IREF pin with a logic circuit, the logic circuit needs to be able to sink at least 100A current. FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 The EOC current IEOC sets the level at which the charger starts to indicate the end of the charge with the STATUS pin, as shown in Figure 20. The IEOC is set in two ways: 1. The battery voltage is above the recharge threshold, and 2. driving the IREF pin below 0.4V, 255mA 0.8V I CHARGE = ----------------- 25000 A R IREF 100mA End-of-Charge (EOC) Current (EQ. 4) The V2P8 pin is the output of an internal 2.8V linear regulator. The 2.8V is the voltage supply for the internal control circuit and can also be used by external circuits, such as the NTC thermistor circuit. The external load is not recommended to exceed 2mA. The V2P8 pin is recommended to be decoupled with a 1F ceramic capacitor. NTC Thermistor Interface The TEMP pin offers an interface to an external NTC thermistor. This pin has two functions: to monitor the battery ambient temperature or to monitor the insertion of the battery. The ISL6298 assumes that the NTC thermistor is inside the battery pack. The battery and the NTC thermistor are inserted or removed together. Removing the NTC thermistor disables the charger. Figure 21 shows the implementation of the TEMP pin. The comparator CP1 monitors the existence of the NTC thermistor. When the thermistor is removed, the TEMP pin voltage is pulled Page 11 of 17 ISL6298 up to the V2P8 pin voltage, higher than the Battery Removal Threshold VRMV, and the charger is disabled. Comparators CP2 and CP3 form a window comparator and the two transistors, Q1 and Q2, create hysteresis for the two window thresholds respectively. When the TEMP pin voltage is “out of the window,” determined by the VTMIN and VTMAX, the ISL6298 stops charging and indicates a fault condition. When the temperature returns to within the window, the charger re-starts a charge cycle. See the Application Information for more details on the NTC thermistor selection. Thermal Foldback Over-heating is always a concern in a linear charger. The maximum power dissipation usually occurs at the beginning of 2.8V V2P8 ISL6298 Battery Removal CP1 R1 40K VRMV - R2 60K + Under Temp CP2 RU VTMIN + Usually the charge current should not drop below the EOC current because of the thermal foldback. For some extreme cases if that does happen, the charger does not indicate endof-charge unless the battery voltage is already above the recharge threshold. The ISL6298 has three indications: the input presence, the charge status, and the fault indication. The input presence is indicated by the V2P8 pin while the other two indications are presented by the STATUS pin and FAULT pin respectively. Q1 CP3 - + Figure 22 shows the typical charge curves in a charge cycle, using a constant voltage input. Once the internal temperature reaches 100°C, the ISL6298 starts to reduce the charge current to prevent further temperature rise. The power dissipation is directly related to the thermal impedance, which is related to the layout of the printed-circuit board, and the ambient temperature. The dotted lines show the power limit and the current waveforms in two cases that the thermal foldback occurs. The current is reduced and gradually increases to the constant charge current as the battery voltage rises. Indications R3 75K To TEMP Pin TEMP Over Temp a charge cycle when the battery voltage is at its minimum but the charge current is at its maximum. The charge current thermal foldback function in the ISL6298 frees users from the over-heating concern. RT R4 25K VTMAX Q2 R5 4K GND Figure 23 shows the V2P8 pin voltage vs. the input voltage. The V2P8 pin outputs a 2.8V voltage (blue waveform) when the input voltage (yellow waveform) rises above 3.4V rising POR threshold and falls to zero volt when the input voltage falls below the 2.4V falling POR threshold. The V2P8 pin can be used as a logic signal for the input presence. FIGURE 21.

TYPICAL CHARGE CURVES USING A CONSTANT-VOLTAGE INPUT FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 Page 12 of 17 ISL6298 Three types of events will result in the FAULT pin to indicate a logic low signal. The following explains the causes and consequences. 1. TEMP pin voltage out of window. This is caused by the ambient temperature being out of the user-set window. When this fault occurs, the charging is halted until the temperature returns within the window. 2. TEMP pin voltage higher than the battery removal threshold. This is caused by the removal of the battery pack. The charger is disabled when the battery is removed and enabled when the battery is re-inserted. 3. TIMEOUT fault during trickle mode or CC mode. The charger is latched when this error occurs. This fault can only be cleared by cycling the input power or the EN input. The STATUS pin indicates a logic low when a charge cycle starts and indicates a high when the EOC conditions are met. Once the EOC conditions are met, the STATUS signal is latched to high until a new charge cycle. Both the STATUS and the FAULT pin need be pulled up with external resistors to the 2.8V from the V2P8 pin or the input voltage. Table 2 summarizes the STATUS and FAULT pins. TABLE 2. INDICATION PINS FAULT STATUS INDICATION High High Charge completed with no fault (Inhibit) or Standby High Low Charging in one of the three modes Low High Fault *Both outputs are pulled up with external resistors. Shutdown The ISL6298 can be shutdown by pulling the EN pin to ground. When shut down, the charger draws typically less than 30A current from the input power and less than 3A current from the battery. The 2.8V output at the V2P8 pin is also turned off. The EN pin needs be driven with an open-drain or opencollector logic output, so that the EN pin is floating when the charger is enabled. Battery Leakage Current Capacitor Selection Typically any type of capacitors can be used for the input and the output. A minimum 1F ceramic capacitor is recommended to be placed very close to the charger input. Higher value input decoupling capacitance helps the stable operation of the charger. The output capacitor selection is dependent on the availability of the battery during operation. When the battery is attached to the charger, the output capacitor can be any ceramic type with the value higher than 1F. However, if there is a chance the charger will be used as a linear regulator, a 10F tantalum capacitor is recommended. The V2P8 pin supplies power to the internal control circuit as well as external circuits. A good decoupling to this pin is very important to a reliable operation of the charger. It is recommended to use a 1F ceramic capacitor for this pin. FAULT and STATUS Pull-Up Resistors Both FAULT and STATUS pins are open-drain outputs that need an external pull-up resistor. It is recommended that both pins be pulled up to the input voltage or the 2.8V from the V2P8 pin, as shown in the Typical Application Circuits. If the indication pins have to be pulled up to other voltages, the user needs to examine carefully whether or not the ESD diodes will form a leakage current path to the battery when the input power is removed. If the leakage path does exist, an external transistor is required to break the path. Figure 24 shows the implementation. If the FAULT pin is directly pulled up to the VCC voltage (not shown in Figure 24), a current will flow from the VCC to the FAULT pin, then through the ESD diode to the VIN pin. Any leakage on the VIN pin, caused by an external or internal current path, will result in a current path from VCC to ground. VIN VCC ESD Diode EN STATUS RLKG R1 VIN or V2P8 Control The leakage current from the battery is different when the IC is enabled and disabled. When the IC is disabled, due to removing input power or pulling the EN pin to low, the leakage current is less than 3A. When the IC is enabled but not charging (due to a fault condition, the battery removal, or after termination), the leakage current is caused mainly by an internal 75k voltage divider for the output voltage feed-back. The leakage current is approximately 56A when the battery voltage is 4.2V. Applications Information VIN Q1 FAULT GND Note: RLKG is approximately 240k when EN is floating and is approximately 140k when the EN is grounded. FIGURE 24. PULL-UP CIRCUIT TO AVOID BATTERY LEAKAGE CURRENT IN THE ESD DIODES. FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 Page 13 of 17 ISL6298 The N-channel MOSFET Q1 buffers the FAULT pin. The gate of Q1 is connected to VIN or the V2P8 pin. When the FAULT pin outputs a logic low signal, Q1 is turned on and its drain outputs a low signal as well. When FAULT is high impedance, R1 pulls the Q1 drain to high. When the input power is removed, the Q1 gate voltage is also removed, thus the Q1 drain stays high. where RCOLD and RHOT are the NTC thermistor resistance values at the cold and hot temperature limits respectively. It is usually difficult to find an NTC thermistor that has the exact ratio given in EQ. 7. A thermistor with a ratio larger than 7.08, that is: R COLD -------------------- 7.08 R HOT NTC Thermistor Circuit Design (EQ. 9) As shown in Figure 21, the thresholds for the NTC circuit are formed by the internal voltage divider. Since the external circuit is also a voltage divider, the accuracy of the bias voltage, that is, the V2P8 pin voltage, becomes not critical. Figure 25 shows the typical values of the thresholds as percentages of the V2P8 pin voltage. can be used in series with a regular resistor to form an effective thermistor that has the right ratio, as shown in Figure 26. With the series resistor RS, EQ. 7 can be re-written as: The NTC thermistor resistance is dependent on the ambient temperature. Reducing temperature leads to the increase of the resistance as well as the TEMP pin voltage. When the TEMP pin voltage exceeds 50.3% of the bias voltage, an under-temperature fault is triggered. On the other hand, if the TEMP pin voltage is lower than 12.5%, an over temperature fault occurs. The TEMP pin voltage has to fall back to the 14.5% to 42.9% range for the fault be cleared, as shown in Figure 25. Once the thermistor and the temperature limits are selected, RS and RU can be calculated using The ratio, K, of the TEMP pin voltage to the bias voltage is: To summarize, the NTC thermistor circuit design requires three steps: RT K = ---------------------RT + RU (EQ. 6) Using the ratios at cold and hot temperature limits, as shown in Figure 25, resulting in: R COLD -------------------- = 7.08 R HOT (EQ. 7) and R U = 1.012 R COLD (EQ. 8) 100% RS + R COLD ---------------------------------= 7.08 RS + R (EQ. 10) HOT R COLD – 7.08R HOT R S = -----------------------------------------------------6.08 (EQ. 11) and R U = 1.012 R S + R COLD (EQ. 12) 1. Find an NTC thermistor that satisfies EQ. 9. The temperature limits are determined by the application requirement. 2. Calculate the series resistance according to EQ. 11. 3. Calculate the pull-up resistance according to EQ. 12. The following is a design example. The charger is designed to charge the battery with the temperature range from 0°C to 55°C. The 10k NTC thermistor NCP15XH103F03RC from Murata (http://www.murata.com) satisfies EQ. 9. The resistance table is given in Table 3. The typical resistance at 0°C and 55°C are RCOLD = 27.2186k and RHOT = 3.535k V2P8 VTMIN (50.3%) RU TEMP Pin Voltage TEMP ISL6298 RS VTMAX+ (14.5%) VTMAX (12.5%) RT 0 Under Temp Effective NTC Thermistor VTMIN- (42.9%) GND Over Temp FIGURE 25. CRITICAL VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR TEMP PIN FN9173 Rev 4.00 March 9, 2006 FIGURE 26. EFFECTIVE NTC THERMISTOR CIRCUIT Page 14 of 17 ISL6298 respectively. Using EQ. 11 and EQ. 12 result in RS = 360 and RU = 27.9k. Hysteresis Temperature Calculation Using EQ. 6 is re-arranged as: K R T = ------------- R U – R S 1–K (EQ. 13) Substituting the ratio at the hysteresis threshold results in the NTC thermistor resistance at the threshold. Continuing the example above, the thermistor values are found to be 20.64k and 4.37k respectively at the low and high hysteresis temperatures. The corresponding temperatures are found from the Table 3 to be 7°C and 49°C respectively. In other words, the hysteresis temperatures for the low and high temperature limits are approximately 7°C and 6°C respectively. Temperature Tolerance Calculation The temperature accuracy is affected by the accuracy of the thresholds, RS, RU, and the NTC thermistor. Using the maximum ratio K, maximum possible RU, and minimum RS results in the maximum value of RT from EQ. 13, that is: K MAX R T MAX = ------------------------- R U MAX – R S MIN 1 – K MAX (EQ. 14) From the Electrical Specification table, the maximum K is found to be 52.3%. Assuming the resistors have 1% accuracy, the maximum RU is 28.2k and the minimum RS is 356. The resultant maximum RT is then found to be 30.6k and the corresponding temperature is -3°C. Hence the temperature tolerance is 3°C. Similarly, the high temperature maximum thermistor value is 3.98k. Hence, the lowest temperature is 51°C and the tolerance is 4°C. TABLE 3.

The thermal dissipation can be further reduced when the adapter is properly designed. For more information regarding working with current-limited adapters, please refer to the ISL6292 datasheet available at http://www.intersil.com. Board Layout Recommendations The ISL6298 internal thermal foldback function limits the charge current when the internal temperature reaches approximately 100°C. In order to maximize the current capability, it is very important that the exposed pad under the package is properly soldered to the board and is connected to other layers through thermal vias. More thermal vias and more copper attached to the exposed pad usually result in better thermal performance. On the other hand, the number of vias is limited by the size of the pad. The exposed pad for the 4x4 QFN package is able to have 5 vias. The 3x3 DFN package allows 8 vias be placed in two rows. Since the pins on the 3x3 DFN package are on only two sides, as much top layer copper as possible should be connected to the exposed pad to minimize the thermal impedance.
