DESCRIPTION
The bq24273 is a highly integrated single cell Li-Ion battery charger with integrated charge current sense
element device targeted for space-limited, portable applications with high capacity batteries. The single cell
charger operates from a dedicated power source such as a wall adapter or wireless power supply for a versatile
solution. The integrated sense element eliminates the need for an external sense resistor reducing the total
solution size and external component count.
The battery is charged in three phases: precharge, fast charge constant current and constant voltage. In all
charge phases, an internal control loop monitors the IC junction temperature and reduces the charge current if
the internal temperature threshold is exceeded. Charge is terminated based on user-selectable minimum current
level. A software watchdog provides a safety backup for I2C interface while a safety timer prevents continuously
charging a damaged battery. During normal operation, bq24273 automatically restarts the charge cycle if the
battery voltage falls below an internal threshold and automatically enters sleep mode or high impedance mode
when the input supply is removed. The charge status is reported to the host using the I2C interface. Additionally,
a voltage-based battery pack thermistor monitoring input (TS) is included that monitors battery temperature for
safe charging. The TS function for bq24273 JEITA compatible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The bq24273 is a highly integrated synchronous switch-mode charger featuring integrated MOSFETs and current
sense element reducing the count of external components. It is targeted at portable applications with higher
capacity batterires powered by 1-cell Li-Ion, LiFePO4 or Li-polymer battery pack. Due to the high efficiency in a
wide range of the input voltage and battery voltage, the switching mode charger is a good choice for high speed
charging with less power loss and better thermal management.
The bq24273 has two operation states: charge state and high impedance state. In the charge state, the bq24273
supports a precision Li-ion, LiFePO4 or Li-polymer charging system for single-cell applications. In the high
impedance state, the bq24273 stops charging and operates in a mode with very low current from IN and battery,
to effectively reduce the power consumption when the portable device is in standby mode.
The bq24273 includes an integrated 35mΩ sense resistor that is used to measure the charge current into the
battery. As resistors are expected to have a temperature coefficient, the bq24273 includes a compensation
mechanism that maintains the accuracy of the charge current as the temperature changes. This allows for a
smaller BOM solution allowing the removal of an external high accuracy sense resistor that are typically needed
for non-power path charger solutions.
Charge Mode Operation
Charge Profile
There are 5 loops that influence the charge current; constant current loop (CC), constant voltage loop (CV),
thermal regulation loop, input current sense loop and input voltage dynamic power management loop (VIN-DPM).
During the charging process, all five loops are enabled and the one that is dominate takes control. The bq24273
supports a precision LiFePO4, Li-Ion or Li-Polymer charging systems for single-cell applications. Figure 2 shows
a typical charge profile.

Figure 2. Typical Charging Profile of bq24273
PWM Controller in Charge Mode
The bq24273 provides an integrated, fixed-frequency 1.5MHz voltage-mode controller to supply the charge
current. The voltage loop is internally compensated and provides enough phase margin for stable operation,
allowing the use of small ceramic capacitors with very low ESR.
The input is protected from short circuit by a cycle-by-cycle current limit that is sensed through the high-side
MOSFET. The threshold is set to a nominal 5-A peak current. The input also utilizes an input current limit that
limits the current from the power source.

Battery Charging Process
When the battery is deeply discharged or shorted (VBAT<VBATSHRT), the bq24273 applies a 50mA current to close
the pack protector switch and bring the battery voltage up to acceptable charging levels. Once the battery rises
above VBATSHRT, the charge current is regulated to the value set in the I2C register. If the die temperature does
heat up, the thermal regulation circuit reduces the charge current to maintain a die temperature less than 125°C.
The slew rate for fast charge current is controlled to minimize the current and voltage over-shoot during transient.
The charge current is regulated to IOCHARGE until the battery is charged to the regulation voltage. Once the
battery voltage is close to the regulation voltage, VBATREG, the charge current is tapered down as shown in
Figure 2. The voltage regulation feedback occurs by monitoring the battery-pack voltage between the BAT and
PGND pins. The bq24273 is a fixed single-cell voltage version, with adjustable regulation voltage (3.5V to 4.44V)
programmed using the I2C interface.
The bq24273 monitors the charging current during the voltage regulation phase. Once the termination threshold,
ITERM, is detected and the battery voltage is above the recharge threshold, the bq24273 terminates the charge
cycle and enters battery detection. The termination current level is programmable. To disable the charge current
termination, the host sets the charge termination bit (TE) of charge control register to 0, refer to I2C section for
details.
A new charge cycle is initiated when one of the following conditions is detected:
1. The battery voltage falls below the VBATREG-VRCH threshold.
2. CE bit toggle or RESET bit is set
3. HI-Z bit toggle
Battery Detection
When termination conditions are met, a battery detection cycle is started. During battery detection, IDETECT is
pulled from VBAT for tDETECT to verify there is a battery. If the battery voltage remains above VDETECT for the full
duration of tDETECT, a battery is determined to present and the IC enters “Charge Done”. If VBAT falls below
VDETECT, a “Battery Not Present” fault is signaled and battery detection continues. The next cycle of battery
detection, the bq2427x turns on IBATSHORT for tDETECT. If VBAT rises to VDETECT, the current source is turned off and
after tDETECT, the battery detection continues through another current sink cycle. Battery detection continues until
charge is disabled or a battery is detected. Once a battery is detected, the fault status clears and a new charge
cycle begins. Battery detection is not run when termination is disabled.
DEFAULT Mode
DEFAULT mode is used when I2C communication is not available. DEFAULT mode is entered in the following
situations:
1. When the charger is enabled and VBAT<3.6V before I2C communication is established
2. When the watchdog timer expires without a reset from the I2C interface and the safety timer has not expired.
3. When the device comes out of any fault condition (sleep mode, OVP, faulty adapter mode, etc.) before I2C
communication is established
In default mode, the I2C registers are reset to the default values. The 27 min safety timer is reset and starts when
DEFAULT mode is entered. The default value for VBATREG is 3.6V, and the default value for ICHARGE is 1A. The
input current limit for the IN input is set to 1.5A. Default mode is exited by programming the I2C interface. Note
that if termination is enabled and charging has terminated, a new charge cycle is NOT initiated when entering
DEFAULT mode.
Safety Timer and Watchdog Timer
At the beginning of charging process, the bq24273 starts the safety timer. This timer is active during the entire
charging process. If charging has not terminated before the safety timer expires, charging is halted and the CE
bit is written to a “1”. The length of the safety timer is selectable using the I2C interface. A single 128μs pulse is
sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx bits of the status registers are updated in the I2C. The /CE bit
must be toggled in order to clear the safety timer fault. The safety timer duration is selectable using the TMR_X
bits in the Safety Timer Register/ NTC Monitor register. Changing the safety timer duration resets the safety
timer. If the safety timer expires, charging is disabled (CE changed to a “1”). This function prevents continuous
charging of a defective battery if the host fails to reset the safety timer.

In addition to the safety timer, the bq24273 contains a watchdog timer that monitors the host through the I2C
interface. Once a read/write is performed on the I2C interface, a 30-second timer (tWATCHDOG) is started. The 30second timer is reset by the host using the I2C interface. This is done by writing a “1” to the reset bit (TMR_RST)
in the control register. The TMR_RST bit is automatically set to “0” when the 30-second timer is reset. This
process continues until battery is fully charged or the safety timer expires. If the 30-second timer expires, the IC
enters DEFAULT mode where the default register values are loaded, the safety timer restarts at 27minutes and
charging continues. The I2C may be accessed again to reinitialize the desired values and restart the watchdog
timer as long as the 27 minute safety timer has not expired. The watchdog timer flow chart is shown in Figure 3.

LDO Output (DRV)
The bq24273 contains a linear regulator (DRV) that is used to supply the internal MOSFET drivers and other
circuitry. Additionally, DRV supplies up to 10mA external loads to power the STAT. The maximum value of the
DRV output is 5.45V. The LDO is on whenever a supply is connected to the IN input of the bq24273. The DRV is
disabled under the following conditions:
1. VSUPPLY < UVLO
2. VSUPPLY < VSLP
3. Thermal Shutdown
External NTC Monitoring (TS)
The I2C interface allows the user to easily implement the JEITA standard for systems where the battery pack
thermistor is monitored by the host. Additionally, the bq24273 provides a flexible, voltage based TS input for
monitoring the battery pack NTC thermistor. The voltage at TS is monitored to determine that the battery is at a
safe temperature during charging. The bq24273 enable the user to easily implement the JEITA standard for
charging temperature. The JEITA specification is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Charge Current During TS Conditions
To satisfy the JEITA requirements, four temperature thresholds are monitored; the cold battery threshold (TNTC <
0°C), the cool battery threshold (0°C < TNTC < 10°C), the warm battery threshold (45°C < TNTC < 60°C) and the
hot battery threshold (TNTC > 60°C). These temperatures correspond to the VCOLD, VCOOL, VWARM, and VHOT
thresholds. Charging is suspended and timers are suspended when VTS < VHOT or VTS > VCOLD. When VHOT <
VTS < VWARM, the battery regulation voltage is reduced by 140mV from the programmed regulation threshold.
When VCOOL < VTS < VCOLD, the charging current is reduced to half of the programmed charge current.
The TS function is voltage based for maximum flexibility. Connect a resistor divider from DRV to GND with TS
connected to the center tap to set the threshold. The connections are shown in Figure 5. The resistor values are
calculated using the following equations:

Thermal Regulation and Protection
During the charging process, to prevent chip overheating, bq24273 monitors the junction temperature, TJ, of the
die and begins to taper down the charge current once TJ reaches the thermal regulation threshold, TREG. The
charge current is reduced to zero when the junction temperature increases about 10°C above TREG. Once the
charge current is reduced, the system current is reduced while the battery supplements the load to supply the
system. This may cause a thermal shutdown of the bq24273 if the die temperature rises too high. At any state, if
TJ exceeds TSHTDWN, bq24273 suspends charging and disables the buck converter. During thermal shutdown
mode, the PWM is turned off, all timers are suspended, and a single 128μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT
outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers are updated in the I2C. A new charging cycle
begins when TJ falls below TSHTDWN by approximately 10°C.

Input Voltage Protection in Charge Mode
Sleep Mode
The bq24273 enters the low-power sleep mode if the voltage on VSUPPLY falls below sleep-mode entry threshold,
VBAT+VSLP, and VVBUS is higher than the undervoltage lockout threshold, VUVLO. This feature prevents draining
the battery during the absence of VSUPPLY. When VSUPPLY < VBAT+ VSLP, the bq24273 turns off the PWM
converter and sends a single 128μs pulse on the STAT and INT outputs and updates the STATx and FAULT_x
bits in the status registers. Once VSUPPLY > VBAT+ VSLP, the STATx and FAULT_x bits are cleared and the device
initiates a new charge cycle.
Input Voltage Based DPM
During normal charging process, if the input power source is not able to support the programmed or default
charging current, the supply voltage will decease. Once the supply drops to VIN_DPM (default 4.76V), the input
current limit is reduced down to prevent further supply droop. When the IC enters this mode, the charge current
is lower than the set value and the DPM_STATUS bit is set (Bit 5 in Register 05H). This feature ensures IC
compatibility with adapters with different current capabilities without a hardware change.
Bad Source Detection
When a source is connected to IN, the bq24273 runs a Bad Source Detection procedure to determine if the
source is strong enough to provide some current to charge the battery. A current sink is turned on (75mA) for
32ms. If the source is valid after the 32ms (VBADSOURCE < VSUPPLY < VOVP), the buck converter starts up and
normal operation continues. If the supply voltage falls below VBAD_SOURCE during the detection, the current sink
shuts off for 2s and then retries, a single 128μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and
FAULT_x bits of the status registers and the battery/supply status registers are updated in the I2C. The detection
circuits retries continuously until a valid source is detected after the detection time. If during normal operation the
source falls to VBAD_SOURCE, the bq24273 turns off the PWM converter and sends a single 128μs pulse is sent on
the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers and the battery/supply status
registers are updated in the I2C. Once a good source is detected, the STATx and FAULT_x bits are cleared and
the device returns to normal operation.
Input Over-Voltage Protection
The bq24273 provides over-voltage protection on the input that protects downstream circuitry. The built-in input
over-voltage protection to protect the device and other components against damage from overvoltage on the
input supply (Voltage from VIN to PGND). During normal operation, if VSUPPLY > VOVP, the bq24273 turns off the
PWM converter and sends a single 128μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and
FAULT_x bits of the status registers and the battery/supply status registers are updated in the I2C. Once the
OVP fault is removed, the STATx and FAULT_x bits are cleared and the device returns to normal operation.
To allow operation with some unregulated adapters, the OVP circuit is not active during Bad Source Detection.
This provides some time for the current sink to pull the unregulated adapter down into an acceptable range. If the
adapter voltage is high at the end of the detection, the startup of the PWM converter does not occur. The OVP
circuit is active during normal operation, so if the system standby current plus the charge current is not enough to
pull down the source, operation is suspended.
Charge Status Outputs (STAT, INT)
The STAT output is used to indicate operation conditions for bq24273. STAT is pulled low during charging when
EN_STAT bit in the control register (0x02h) is set to “1”. When charge is complete or disabled, STAT is high
impedance. When a fault occurs, a 128-µs pulse (interrupt) is sent out to notify the host. The status of STAT
during different operation conditions is summarized in Table 1. STAT drives an LED for visual indication or can
be connected to the logic rail for host communication. The EN_STAT bit in the control register (00H) is used to
enable/disable the charge status for STAT. The interrupt pulses are unaffected by EN_STAT and will always be
shown. The INT output is identical to STAT and is used to interface with a low voltage host processor.

SERIAL INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
The bq24273 uses an I2C compatible interface to program charge parameters. I2C™ is a 2-wire serial interface
developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000). The bus consists of
a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines
are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus through open drain I/O pins, SDA and
SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal processor, controls the bus. The master is
responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The master also generates specific conditions
that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device receives and/or transmits data on the bus
under control of the master device.
The bq24273 device works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the I2C
Bus™ Specification: standard mode (100 kbps) and fast mode (400 kbps). The interface adds flexibility to the
battery charging solution, enabling most functions to be programmed to new values depending on the
instantaneous application requirements. Register contents remain intact as long as battery voltage remains
above 2.5 V (typical). The I2C circuitry is powered from IN when a supply is connected. If the IN supply is not
connected, the I2C circuitry is powered from the battery through BAT. The battery voltage must stay above 2.5V
with no input connected in order to maintain proper operation.
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, they are referred to as the
F/S-mode in this document. The bq24273 devices only support 7-bit addressing. The device 7-bit address is
defined as ‘1101011’ (6Bh).
F/S Mode Protocol
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 6. All I2C -compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.
DATA
CLK
S
P
START Condition
STOP Condition
Figure 6. START and STOP Condition
The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 8-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires
the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 7). All devices recognize the
address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave device with a
matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 8) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high
period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that communication link with a
slave has been established.

The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from the
slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So an
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. The 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary. To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line
from low to high while the SCL line is high ( see Figure 9). This releases the bus and stops the communication
link with the addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a
stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and wait for a start condition followed by a matching
address. If a transaction is terminated prematurely, the master needs sending a STOP condition to prevent the
slave I2C logic from remaining in an incorrect state. Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in
this section result in FFh being read out.

systems where battery NTC is monitored by the host and requires a reduced charge current setting or by
systems that need a “preconditioning” current for low battery voltages. Write a “1” to this bit to charge at half of
the programmed charge current. Write a “0” to this bit to charge at the programmed charge current.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OUTPUT INDUCTOR AND CAPACITOR SELECTION GUIDELINES
When selecting an inductor, several attributes must be examined to find the right part for the application. First,
the inductance value should be selected. The bq24273 is designed to work with 1.5µH to 2.2µH inductors. The
chosen value will have an effect on efficiency and package size. Due to the smaller current ripple, some
efficiency gain is reached using the 2.2µH inductor, however, due to the physical size of the inductor, this may
not be a viable option. The 1.5µH inductor provides a good tradeoff between size and efficiency.
Once the inductance has been selected, the peak current must be calculated in order to choose the current
rating of the inductor. Use equation 2 to calculate the peak current.

The inductor selected must have a saturation current rating less than or equal to the calculated IPEAK. Due to the
high currents possible with the bq24273, a thermal analysis must also be done for the inductor. Many inductors
have 40°C temperature rise rating. This is the DC current that will cause a 40°C temperature rise above the
ambient temperature in the inductor. For this analysis, the typical load current may be used adjusted for the duty
cycle of the load transients. For example, if the application requires a 1.5A DC load with peaks at 2.5A 20% of
the time, a Δ40°C temperature rise current must be greater than 1.7A:
ITEMPRISE = ILOAD + D ´ I (PEAK -ILOAD ) = 1.5A + 0.2 ´ (2.5A - 1.5A) = 1.7A
(6)
The bq24273 provides internal loop compensation. Using this scheme, the bq24273 is stable with 10µF to 200µF
of local capacitance. The capacitance on the BAT rail can be higher if distributed amongst the rail. To reduce the
output voltage ripple, a ceramic capacitor with the capacitance between 10µF and 47µF is recommended for
local bypass to CS+.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
It is important to pay special attention to the PCB layout. The following provides some guidelines:
• To obtain optimal performance, the power input capacitors, connected from the PMID input to PGND, must be
placed as close as possible to the bq24273
• Place 4.7µF input capacitor as close to PMID pin and PGND pin as possible to make high frequency current
loop area as small as possible. Place 1µF input capacitor GNDs as close to the respective PMID cap GND
and PGND pins as possible to minimize the ground difference between the input and PMID_.
• The local bypass capacitor from CS+ to GND should be connected between the CS+ pin and PGND of the
IC. The intent is to minimize the current path loop area from the SW pin through the LC filter and back to the
PGND pin.
• Place all decoupling capacitor close to their respective IC pin and as close as to PGND (do not place
components such that routing interrupts power stage currents). All small control signals should be routed
away from the high current paths.
• The PCB should have a ground plane (return) connected directly to the return of all components through vias
(two vias per capacitor for power-stage capacitors, one via per capacitor for small-signal components). It is
also recommended to put vias inside the PGND pads for the IC, if possible. A star ground design approach is
typically used to keep circuit block currents isolated (high-power/low-power small-signal) which reduces noisecoupling and ground-bounce issues. A single ground plane for this design gives good results. With this small
layout and a single ground plane, there is no ground-bounce issue, and having the components segregated
minimizes coupling between signals.
• The high-current charge paths into IN, BAT, CS+ and from the SW pins must be sized appropriately for the
maximum charge current in order to avoid voltage drops in these traces. The PGND pins should be
connected to the ground plane to return current through the internal low-side FET.
• For high-current applications, the balls for the power paths should be connected to as much copper in the
board as possible. This allows better thermal performance as the board pulls heat away from the IC.
