The product is specifically designed to efficiently acquire and manage the microwatts (µW) to milliwatts (mW) of power generated from a variety of DC sources like photovoltaic (solar) or thermal electric generators. The bq25570 is the first device of its kind to implement a highly efficient boost charger with a nano-powered buck converter targeted toward products and systems, such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) which have stringent power and operational demands. The design of the bq25570 starts with a dc/dc boost converter/charger that requires only microwatts of power to begin operating. Once started, the boost charger can effectively extract power from low voltage output harvesters such as thermoelectric generators (TEGs) or single or dual cell solar panels. The boost charger can be started with VIN as low as 330 mV, and once started, can continue to harvest energy down to VIN = 100 mV. 1 Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated bq25570 SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 www.ti.com These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates. DESCRIPTION CONTINUED The bq25570 also implements a programmable maximum power point tracking sampling network to optimize the transfer of power into the device. The fraction of open circuit voltage that is sampled and held can be controlled by pulling VOC_SAMP high or low (80% or 50% respectively) or by using external resistors. This sampled voltage is maintained via internal sampling circuitry and held with an external capacitor (CREF) on the VREF_SAMP pin. For example, solar cells typically operate with a maximum power point (MPP) of 80% of their open circuit voltage. Connecting VOC_SAMP to VSTOR sets the MPPT threshold to 80% and results in the IC regulating the voltage on the solar cell to ensure that the VIN_DC voltage does not fail below the voltage on CREF which equals 80% of the solar panel's open circuit voltage. Alternatively, an external reference voltage can be provided by a MCU to produce a more complex MPPT algorithm. In addition to the boost charging front end, the bq25570 provides the system with an externally programmable regulated supply via the buck converter. The regulated output has been optimized to provide high efficiency across low output currents (< 10 µA) to high currents (~110 mA). The bq25570 is designed with the flexibility to support a variety of energy storage elements. The availability of the sources from which harvesters extract their energy can often be sporadic or time-varying. Systems will typically need some type of energy storage element, such as a re-chargeable battery, super capacitor, or conventional capacitor. The storage element will make certain constant power is available when needed for the systems. The storage element also allows the system to handle any peak currents that can not directly come from the input source. To prevent damage to a customer’s storage element, both maximum and minimum voltages are monitored against the internally set under-voltage (UV) and user programmable over-voltage (OV) levels. To further assist users in the strict management of their energy budgets, the bq25570 toggles the battery good (VBAT_OK) flag to signal an attached microprocessor when the voltage on an energy storage battery or capacitor has dropped below a pre-set critical level. This should trigger the reduction of load currents to prevent the system from entering an under voltage condition. There is also independent enable signals to allow the system to control when to run the regulated output or even put the whole IC into an ultra-low quiescent current sleep state. All the capabilities of bq25570 are packed into a small foot-print 20-lead 3.5mm x 3.5 mm QFN package (RGR). 2 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 TYPICAL APPLICATION SCHEMATIC CSTOR VOC_SAMP L1 CIN + VSTOR BAT VBAT LBOOST VREF_SAMP LBUCK Boost Controller + - VSS System Load VSS Cold Start VBAT GPIO2 VOUT_EN GPIO3 VBAT_OK ROV2 VBAT_OV EN VRDIV GPIO1 OK_HYST Nano-Power Management Host OK_PROG VSTOR COUT Buck Controller MPPT VIN_DC L2 VOUT CREF VOUT_SET Solar Cell CBYP ROK3 bq25570 ROUT2 ROK2 ROV1 ROUT1 ROK1 ORDERING INFORMATION (1) PART NO.

The boost charger is intended to be powered from a high impedance DC source, such as a solar panel, TEG or piezoelectric module; therefore, it regulates its input voltage (VIN_DC) in order to prevent the input source from collapsing. The boost charger monitors its output voltage (VSTOR) and stops switching when VSTOR reaches a resistor programmable threshold level. The buck converter is powered from VSTOR. Both converters are based on a switching regulator architecture which maximizes efficiency while minimizing start-up and operation power. Both use pulse frequency modulation (PFM) to maintain efficiency, even under light load conditions. In addition, the boost charger implements battery protection features so that either rechargeable batteries or capacitors can be used as energy storage elements at the storage element output (VBAT). Figure 6 is a high-level functional block diagram which highlights most of the major functional blocks inside the bq25570. Enable Controls There are two enable pins for the bq25570 in order to maximize the flexibility of control for the system. EN high voltage is relative to VBAT. VOUT_EN high voltage is relative to VSTOR. When taken high (relative to VBAT), the EN pin shuts down the IC completely including the boost charger, battery management circuitry and buck converter. It also turns off the PFET that connects VBAT to VSTOR. This mode can be described as ship mode, because it will put the IC in the lowest leakage state and provide a long storage period without discharging the battery attached to VBAT. If it is not desired to control EN, it is recommended that this pin be tied to VSS, or system ground. When EN is low, VOUT_EN is used to enable and disable the buck converter. The table below summarizes the functionailty. Table 1. Enable Functionality Table EN PIN LOGIC LEVEL VOUT_EN PIN LOGIC LEVEL 0 0 Buck standby mode. Boost charger and VBAT_OK are enabled. Buck converter is disabled. 0 1 Boost charger, buck converter and VBAT_OK enabled. 1 x Ship mode. Boost charger, buck converter and VBAT_OK indication are disabled. (ship mode) FUNCITONAL MODE Startup Operation The bq25570 has two circuits for boosting the input voltage, a low-power cold-start circuit, drawing power excluxively from VIN_DC when ≥ VIN(CS), and the high efficiency main boost charger, with the bias rails drawing power from VSTOR when ≥ VSTOR_CHGEN and the power stage drawing power from VIN_DC when ≥ VIN(DC) minimum. When EN = 0 and VSTOR ≤ VSTOR_CHGEN, there are two options for charging the VSTOR capacitor capacitor, CSTOR, to VSTOR_CHGEN for the main boost charger to turn on. The first option is to allow the cold start circuit to charge VSTOR to VSTOR_CHGEN. Due to the body diode of the PFET connecting VSTOR and VBAT, the cold start circuit must charge both the capacitor on CSTOR and the storage element connected to VBAT up to VSTOR_CHGEN. When a rechargeable battery with an open protector is attached, the charge time is typically short due to the minimum charge needed to close the FET. When large, discharged super capacitors are attached, the charge time can be signficant. The second option is to connect a storage element, charged above VSTOR_CHGEN, to VBAT. Assuming the voltages on VSTOR and VBAT are both below 100mV, when a charged storage element is attached (i.e. hot-plugged) to VBAT, the IC turns on the internal PFET between the VSTOR and VBAT pins for tBAT_HOT_PLUG in order to charge CSTOR to VSTOR_CHGEN. If a system load tied to VSTOR prevents the storage element from charging VSTOR within tBAT_HOT_PLUG, it is recommended to add an external PFET between the system load and VSTOR. An inverted VBAT_OK signal can be used to drive the gate of this system-isolating PFET. Once the VSTOR pin voltage reaches the internal under voltage threshold (VBAT_UV), the internal PFET stays on and the main boost charger begins to charge the storage element if there is sufficient power available at the VIN_DC pin, as explained below. If VSTOR does not reach VBAT_UV within 50ms, then the PFET turns off and the cold-start circuit turns on, also as explained below. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 Boost Charger Cold-Start Operation (VSTOR < VSTOR_CHGEN and VIN_DC > VIN(CS) ) If the attached storage element does not charge CSTOR above VSTOR_CHGEN, VIN_DC ≥ VIN(CS) and EN = 0, the cold-start circuit turns on. The cold-start circuit is essentially an unregulated boost converter with lower efficiency compared to the main boost charger. The energy harvester must supply sufficient power for the IC to exit cold start. See the Energy Harvester Selection applications section for guidance. When the CSTOR voltage reaches VSTOR_CHGEN, the main boost charger starts up. The VSTOR voltage from the main boost charger is compared against the battery undervoltage threshold (VBAT_UV). When the VBAT_UV threshold is reached, the PMOS switch between VSTOR and VBAT turns on, which allows the energy storage element attached to VBAT to charge up. Cold start is not as efficient as the main boost charger. If there is not sufficient input power available, the cold start circuit may run continuously and the VSTOR output may never increase above VSTOR_CHGEN for the main boost charger to start up. The battery management thresholds are explained later is this section. See the Energy Harvester Selection applications section for guidance on minimum input power requirements. Main Boost Charger Operation (VSTOR > VSTOR_CHGEN and VIN_DC > VIN(DC) ) The main boost charger charges the storage element attached at VBAT with the energy available from the high impedance input source. For the first 32 ms (typical) after the boost charger is turned ON (assuming EN is low), the charger is disabled to let the input rise to its open-circuit voltage. This is needed to obtain the reference voltage which will be used for the remainder of the charger operation until the next MPPT sampling. The boost charger employs pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode of control to regulate the voltage at VIN_DC close to the desired reference voltage. The reference voltage is set by the MPPT control scheme as described in the next section. Input voltage regulation is obtained by transferring charge from the input to VSTOR only when the input voltage is higher than the voltage on pin VREF_SAMP. The current through the inductor is controlled through internal current sense circuitry. The peak current in the inductor is dithered internally to pre-determined levels in order to maintain high efficiency of the charger across a wide input current range. The charger transfers up to a maximum of 100 mA average input current (230mA typical peak inductor current). The boost charger is disabled when the voltage on VSTOR reaches the OV condition to protect the battery connected at VBAT from overcharging. In order for the battery to charge to VBAT_OV, the input power must exceed the power needed for the load on VSTOR. See the Energy Harvester Selection applications section for guidance on minimum input power requirements. Maximum Power Point Tracking Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is implemented in order to maximize the power extracted from an energy harvester source. The boost charger indirectly modulates the input impedance of the main boost charger by regulating the charger's input voltage, as sensed by the VIN_DC pin, to the sampled reference voltage, as stored on the VREF_SAMP pin. The MPPT circuit obtains a new reference voltage every 16 s (typical) by periodically disabling the charger for 256 ms (typical) and sampling a fraction of the open-circuit voltage (VOC). For solar harvesters, the maximum power point is typically 70%-80% and for thermoelectric harvesters, the MPPT is typically 50%. Tying VOC_SAMP to VSTOR internally sets the MPPT regulation point to 80% of VOC. Tying VOC_SAMP to GND internally sets the MPPT regulation point to 50% of VOC. If input source does not have either 80% or 50% of VOC as its MPP point,, the exact ratio for MPPT can be optimized to meet the needs of the input source being used by connecting external resistors ROC1 and ROC2 between VRDIV and GND with midpoint at VOC_SAMP. The reference voltage is set by the following expression: æ ö R OC1 VREF_SAMP = VIN_DC(OpenCircuit) ç ÷ è R OC1 + R OC2 ø (1) Storage Element / Battery Management In this section the battery management functionality of the bq25570 integrated circuit (IC) is presented. The IC has internal circuitry to manage the voltage across the storage element and to optimize the charging of the storage element. For successfully extracting energy from the source, two different threshold voltages must be programmed using external resistors, namely battery good threshold (VBAT_OK) and over voltage (OV) threshold. The two user programmable threshold voltages and the internally set undervoltage threshold determine the IC's region of operation. Figure 40 show plots of the voltage at the VSTOR pin and the various Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 23 bq25570 SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 www.ti.com threshold voltages for two use cases 1) when a depleted battery is attached and the charger enters cold start and 2) when a batttery charged above VBAT_UV is attached. For the best operation of the system, the VBAT_OK should be used to determine when a load can be applied or removed. A detailed description of the three voltage thresholds and the procedure for designing the external resistors for setting the three voltage thresholds are described next.

Charger Operation after a Partially Charged Storage Element is Attached When no input source is attached, the VSTOR node should be discharged to ground before attaching a storage element. Hot-plugging a storage element that is charged (e.g., the battery protector is closed) and with the VSTOR node above ground results in the PFET between VSTOR and VBAT remaining off until an input source is attached. In addition, if a system load attached to VSTOR has fast transients that could pull VSTOR below VBAT_UV, the internal PFET switch will turn off in order to recharge the CSTOR capacitor to VSTOR_CHGEN. See the application section for guidance on sizing the VSTOR and/or VBAT capacitance to account for transients. If the voltage applied at VIN_DC is greater than VSTOR or VBAT then current may flow until the voltage at the input is reduced or the voltage at VSTOR and VBAT rise. This is considered an abnormal condition and the boost charger does not operate. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 Battery Undervoltage Protection To prevent rechargeable batteries from being deeply discharged and damaged, and to prevent completely depleting charge from a capacitive storage element, the boost charger has an internally set undervoltage (VBAT_UV) threshold plus an internal hysteresis voltage (VBAT_UV_HYST). The VBAT_UV threshold voltage when the battery voltage is decreasing is internally set to 1.95V (typical). The undervoltage threshold when battery voltage is increasing is given by VBAT_UV plus VBAT_UV_HYST. For most applications, the system load should be connected to the VSTOR pin while the storage element should be connected to the VBAT pin. Once the VSTOR pin voltage goes above the VBAT_UV_HYST threshold, the VSTOR pin and the VBAT pins are shorted. The switch remains closed until the VSTOR pin voltage falls below VBAT_UV. The VBAT_UV threshold should be considered a fail safe to the system and the system load should be removed or reduced based on the VBAT_OK signal. Battery Overvoltage Protection To prevent rechargeable batteries from being exposed to excessive charging voltages and to prevent over charging a capacitive storage element, the over-voltage (VBAT_OV) threshold level must be set using external resistors. This is also the voltage value to which the charger will regulate the VSTOR/VBAT pin when the input has sufficient power. The VBAT_OV threshold when the battery voltage is rising is given by Equation 2: æ ö R 3 VBAT_OV = VBIAS ç 1 + OV2 ÷ 2 R OV 1 ø è (2) The sum of the resistors is recommended to be no higher than 13 MΩ that is, ROV1 + ROV2 = 13 MΩ. The overvoltage threshold when battery voltage is decreasing is given by VBAT_OV_HYST. It is internally set to the over voltage threshold minus an internal hysteresis voltage denoted by VBAT_OV_HYST. Once the voltage at the battery exceeds VBAT_OV threshold, the boost charger is disabled. The charger will start again once the battery voltage falls below the VBAT_OV_HYST level. When there is excessive input energy, the VBAT pin voltage will ripple between the VBAT_OV and the VBAT_OV_HYST levels. SLUC484 provides help on sizing and selecting the resistors. CAUTION If VIN_DC is higher than VSTOR and VSTOR is equal to VBAT_OV, the input VIN_DC is pulled to ground through a small resistance to stop further charging of the attached battery or capacitor. It is critical that if this case is expected, the impedance of the source attached to VIN_DC be higher than 20 Ω and not a low impedance source. Battery Voltage within Operating Range (VBAT_OK Output) The charger allows the user to set a programmable voltage independent of the overvoltage and undervoltage settings to indicate whether the VSTOR voltage (and therefore the VBAT voltage when the PFET between the two pins is turned on) is at an acceptable level. When the battery voltage is decreasing the threshold is set by Equation 3: æ ö R VBAT_OK_PROG = VBIAS ç 1 + O K2 ÷ R OK1 ø è (3) When the battery voltage is increasing, the threshold is set by Equation 4: æ R + R O K3 ö VBAT_OK_HYST = VBIAS ç 1 + OK2 ÷ R O K1 è ø (4) The sum of the resistors is recommend to be no higher than approximately i.e., ROK1 + ROK2 + ROK3= 13 MΩ. The logic high level of this signal is equal to the VSTOR voltage and the logic low level is ground. The logic high level has ~20 KΩ internally in series to limit the available current to prevent MCU damage until it is fully powered. The VBAT_OK_PROG threshold must be greater than or equal to the UV threshold. For the best operation of the system, the VBAT_OK should be setup to drive an external PFET between VSTOR and the system load in order to determine when the load can be applied or removed to optimize the storage element capacity.

It employs pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control to regulate the voltage close to the desired reference voltage. The reference voltage is set by the user programmed resistor divider. The current through the inductor is controlled through internal current sense circuitry. The peak current in the inductor is controlled to maintain high efficiency of the converter across a wide input current range. The converter delivers an output current up to 110mA typical with a peak inductor current of 200 mA. The buck regulator is disabled when the voltage on VSTOR drops below the VBAT_UV condition. The buck regulator continues to operate in pass (100% duty cycle) mode, passing the input voltage to the output, as long as VSTOR is greater than VBAT_UV and less than VOUT. Programming OUT Regulation Voltage To set the proper output regulation voltage and input voltage power good comparator, the external resistors must be carefully selected. The OUT regulation voltage is then given by Equation 5: æR + ROUT1 ö VOUT = VBIAS ç OUT2 ÷ ROUT1 è ø (5) Note that VBIAS is nominally 1.21V per the electrical specification table. The sum of the resistors is recommended to be no greater than 13 MΩ , that is, ROUT1 + ROUT2 = 13 MΩ. Higher resistors may result in poor output voltage regulation and/or input voltage power good threshold accuracies due to noise pickup via the high impedance pins or reduction of effective resistance due to parasitic resistances created from board assembly residue. See Layout Considerations section for more details. SLUC484 provides help on sizing and selecting the resistors. Buck Converter Startup Behavior The bq25570 buck converter has two startup responses: 1) from the ship-mode state (EN transitions from high to low), and 2) from the standby state (VOUT_EN transitions from low to high). The first startup response out of the ship-mode state has the longest time duration due to the internal circuitry being disabled. This response is shown in Figure 28. The startup time takes approximately 100ms due to the internal Nano-Power management circuitry needing to first, complete the 64 ms sample and hold cycle. Startup from the standby state is shown in Figure 29. This response is much faster due to the internal circuitry being pre-enabled. The startup time from this state is entirely dependent on the size of the output capacitor. The larger the capacitor, the longer it will take to charge during startup. With COUT = 22 µF, the startup time is approximately 400 µs. The buck converter can startup into a pre-biased output voltage. Steady State Operation and Cycle by Cycle Behavior Steady state operation for the boost charger is shown in Figure 33 and for the buck converter in Figure 34. These plots highlight the inductor current waveform, the VSTOR and VOUT voltage ripple, and the LBOOST and LBUCK switching nodes, respectively. Both use hysteretic control and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) switching in order to maintain high efficiency at light load. As long as the VIN_DC voltage is above the MPPT regulation set point (i.e. voltage at VREF_SAMP), the boost charger's low-side power FET turns on and draws current until it reaches its respective peak current limit. These switching bursts continue until VSTOR reaches the VBAT_OV threshold. The buck converter high-side power FET also turns on and draws current until it reaches its respective peak current limit, with its switching bursts continuing until VOUT reaches the VOUT_SET point. This cycle-by-cycle minor switching frequency is a function of each converter's inductor value, peak current limit and voltage levels on each side of each inductor. Once each respective capacitor, CSTOR for the boost and COUT for the buck, droops below a minimum value, the hysteretic switching repeats. The DC voltages on CSTOR and COUT have a ripple voltage riding on top, caused by each capacitor charging due to the switching bursts and then discharging to a minimum value. The major frequency and duty cycle of CSTOR's ripple are a function of the VIN_DC regulation, VSTOR system load and/or VBAT charging current, L1 inductance value and CSTOR capacitance value. The major frequency and 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 duty cycle of COUT's ripple are a function of the VSTOR voltage, VOUT system load, L2 inductance value and COUT capacitance value. At heavier output loads (larger output current), the time the converter is off is smaller when compared to light load conditions. Figure 23 and Figure 24 show the major switching frequency versus load current and VSTOR voltage, respectively, for the buck converter. Figure 25 and Figure 26 show the output voltage ripple with COUT = 22 µF versus load current and VSTOR voltage, respectively, for the buck converter. Nano-Power Management and Efficiency The high efficiency of the bq25570 boost charger and buck converter is achieved via the proprietary Nano-Power management circuitry and algorithm. This feature essentially samples and holds all references in order to reduce the average quiescent current. That is, the internal circuitry is only active for a short period of time and then off for the remaining period of time at the lowest feasible duty cycle. A portion of this feature can be observed in Figure 35 where the VRDIV node is monitored. Here the VRDIV node provides a connection to the VSTOR voltage (first pulse) and then generates the reference levels for the VBAT_OV, VBAT_OK and VOUT_SET resistor dividers for a short period of time. The divided down values at each pin are sampled and held for comparison against VBIAS as part of the hysteretic control. Since this biases a resistor string, the current through these resistors is only active when the Nano-Power management circuitry makes the connection—hence reducing the overall quiescent current due to the resistors. This process repeats every 64 ms. The bq25570's boost charger efficiency is shown for various input power levels in Figure 7 through Figure 13. The bq25570's buck converter efficiency versus output current is plotted in Figure 17 and versus input voltage in Figure 18. All data points were captured by averaging the overall input current. This must be done due to the periodic biasing scheme implemented via the Nano-Power management circuitry. In order to properly measure the resulting input current when calculating the output to input efficiency, the input current efficiency data was gathered using a source meter set to average over at least 50 samples. Thermal Shutdown Rechargeable Li-ion batteries need protection from damage due to operation at elevated temperatures. The application should provide this battery protection and ensure that the ambient temperature is never elevated greater than the expected operational range of 85°C. The bq25570 uses an integrated temperature sensor to monitor the junction temperature of the device. Once the temperature threshold is exceeded, the boost charger and buck converter are disabled. Once the temperature of the device drops below this threshold, the boost charger and buck converter resume operation. To avoid unstable operation near the overtemp threshold, a built-in hysteresis of approximately 5°C has been implemented. Care should be taken to not over discharge the battery in this condition since the boost charger is disabled. However, if the supply voltage drops to the VBAT_UV setting, the switch between VBAT and VSTOR will open and protect the battery even if the device is in thermal shutdown.

The IC's minimum input power required to exit cold start can be estimated as PIN > [([email protected] X 1.8V) + (1.8V2 / RSTOR(CS))] / 0.05 where [email protected] is the storage element leakage current at 1.8V and RSTOR(CS) is the equivalent resitive load on VSTOR during cold start and 0.05 is an estimate of the worst case efficiency of the cold start circuit. Once the IC is out of cold start and the system load has been activated (e.g., using the VBAT_OK signal), the energy harvesting element must provide the main boost charger with at least enough power to meet the average system load. Assuming RSTOR(AVG) represents the average resistive load on VSTOR, the simplified equation below gives an estimate of the IC's minimum input power needed during system operation: PIN X ηEST > PLOAD = (VBAT_OV2 / RSTOR(AVG) + VBAT_OV * I-STR_ELM_LEAK@VBAT_OV) where ηEST can be derived from the datasheet efficiency curves for the given input voltage and current and VBAT_OV. The simplified equation above assumes that, while the harvester is still providing power, the system goes into low power or sleep mode long enough to charge the storage element so that it can power the system when the harvester eventually is down. Refer to SLUC461 for a design example that sizes the energy harvester. Storage Element Selection In order for the charge management circuitry to protect the storage element from over-charging or discharging, the storage element must be connected to VBAT pin and the system load tied to the VSTOR pin. Many types of elements can be used, such as capacitors, super capacitors or various battery chemistries. A storage element with 100uF equivalent capacitance is required to filter the pulse currents of the PFM switching charger. The equivalent capacitance of a battery can be computed as computed as CEQ = 2 x mAHrBAT(CHRGD) x 3600 s/Hr / VBAT(CHRGD) In order for the storage element to be able to charge VSTOR capacitor (CSTOR) within the tVB_HOT_PLUG (50 ms typical) window at hot-plug; therefore preventing the IC from entering cold start, the time constant created by the storage element's series resistance (plus the resistance of the internal PFET switch) and equivalent capacitance must be less than tVB_HOT_PLUG . For example, a battery's resistance can be computed as RBAT = VBAT / IBAT(CONTINUOUS) from the battery specifications. The storage element must be sized large enough to provide all of the system load during periods when the harvester is no longer providing power. The harvester is expected to provide at least enough power to fully charge the storage element while the system is in low power or sleep mode. Assuming no load on VSTOR (i.e., the system is in low power or sleep mode), the following equation estimates charge time from voltage VBAT1 to VBAT2 for given input power is PIN x ηEST X tCHRG = 1/2 X CEQ X (VBAT22 - VBAT12) Refer to SLUC461 for a design example that sizes the storage element. Note that if there are large load transients or the storage element has significant impedance then it may be necessary to increase the CSTOR capacitor from the 4.7uF minimum or add additional capacitance to VBAT in order to prevent a droop in the VSTOR voltage. See below for guidance on sizing capacitors. Inductor Selection The boost charger and the buck converter each need an appropriately sized inductor for proper operation. The inductor's saturation current should be at least 25% higher than the expected peak inductor currents recommended below if system load transients on VSTOR and/or VOUT are expected. Since this device uses hysteretic control for both the boost charger and buck converter, both are considered naturally stable systems (single order transfer function). 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 Boost Charger Inductor Selection For the boost charger to operate properly, an inductor of appropriate value must be connected between LBOOST, pin 20, and VIN_DC, pin 2. The boost charger internal control circuitry is designed to control the switching behavior with a nominal inductance of 22 µH ± 20%. The inductor must have a peak current capability of > 300 mA with a low series resistance (DCR) to maintain high efficiency. A list of inductors recommended for this device is shown in Table 2.

The buck converter internal control circuitry is designed to control the switching behavior with a nominal inductance of 10 µH ± 20%. The inductor must have a peak current capability of > 200 mA with a low series resistance (DCR) to maintain high efficiency. The speed of the peak current detect circuit sets the inductor's lower bound to 4.7 µH. When using a 4.7 uH, the peak inductor current will increase when compared to that of a 10 µH inductor, resulting in slightly higher major frequency. A list of inductors recommended for this device is shown in Table 3. Table 3.

Any leakage the capacitors have will reduce efficiency, increase the quiescent current and diminish the effectiveness of the IC for energy harvesting. VREF_SAMP Capacitance The MPPT operation depends on the sampled value of the open circuit voltage and the input regulation follows the voltage stored on the CREF capacitor. This capacitor is sensitive to leakage since the holding period is around 16 seconds. As the capacitor voltage drops due to any leakage, the input regulation voltage also drops preventing proper operation from extraction the maximum power from the input source. Therefore, it is recommended that the capacitor be an X7R or COG low leakage capacitor. VIN_DC Capacitance Energy from the energy harvester input source is initially stored on a capacitor, CIN, connected to VIN_DC, pin 2, and VSS, pin 1. For energy harvesters which have a source impedance which is dominated by a capacitive behavior, the value of the harvester capacitor should scaled according to the value of the output capacitance of the energy source, but a minimum value of 4.7 µF is recommended. VSTOR Capacitance Operation of the bq25570 requires two capacitors to be connected between VSTOR, pin 19, and VSS, pin 1. A high frequency bypass capacitor of at 0.01 µF should be placed as close as possible between VSTOR and VSS. In addition, a low ESR capacitor of at least 4.7 µF should be connected in parallel.

The lower the capacitor value, the larger the ripple will become and the larger the droop will be in the case of a transient response. It is recommended to use at least a 22 µF output capacitor between VOUT, pin 14 and VSS, pin 15, for most applications. Additional Capacitance on VSTOR or VBAT If there are large, fast system load transients and/or the storage element has high resistance, then the CSTOR capacitors may momentarily discharge below the VBAT_UV threshold in response to the transient. This causes the bq25570 to turn off the PFET switch between VSTOR and VBAT and turn on the boost charger. The CSTOR capacitors may further discharge below the VSTOR_CHGEN threshold and cause the bq25570 to enter Cold Start. For instance, some Li-ion batteries or thin-film batteries may not have the current capacity to meet the surge current requirements of an attached low power radio. To prevent VSTOR from drooping, either increasing the CSTOR capacitance or adding additional capacitance in parallel with the storage element is recommended. For example, if boost charger is configured to charge the storage element to 4.2 V and a 500 mA load transient of 50 µs duration infrequently occurs, then, solving I = C x dv/dt for CSTOR gives : CSTOR ≥ 500 mA x 50 µs/(4.2 V – 1.8 V) = 10.5 µF (6) Note that increasing CSTOR is the recommended solution but will cause the boost charger to operate in the less efficient cold start mode for a longer period at startup compared to using CSTOR = 4.7 µF. If longer cold start run times are not acceptable, then place the additional capacitance in parallel with the storage element. 30 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: bq25570 bq25570 www.ti.com SLUSBH2C – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2014 LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS As for all switching power supplies, the PCB layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the boost charger and buck converter could show stability problems as well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground paths. The input and output capacitors as well as the inductors should be placed as close as possible to the IC. For the boost charger, first priority are the output capacitors, including the 0.1uF bypass capacitor (CBYP), followed by CSTOR, which should be placed as close as possible between VSTOR, pin 19, and VSS, pin 1. Next, the input capacitor, CIN, should be placed as close as possible between VIN_DC, pin 2, and VSS, pin 1. Last in priority is the boost charger's inductor, L1, which should be placed close to LBOOST, pin 20, and VIN_DC, pin 2. For the buck converter, the output capacitor COUT should be placed as close as possible between VOUT, pin 14, and VSS, pin 15. The buck converter inductor (L2) should be placed as close as possible beween the switching node LBUCK, pin 16, and VOUT, pin 14. It is best to use vias and bottom traces for connecting the inductors to their respective pins instead of the capacitors. To minimize noise pickup by the high impedance voltage setting nodes (VBAT_OV, OK_PROG, OK_HYST, VOUT_SET), the external resistors should be placed so that the traces connecting the midpoints of each divider to their respective pins are as short as possible. When laying out the non-power ground return paths (e.g. from resistors and CREF), it is recommended to use short traces as well, separated from the power ground traces and connected to VSS pin 15. This avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and control ground current. The PowerPad should not be used as a power ground return path. The remaining pins are either NC pins, that should be connected to the PowerPad as shown below, or digital signals with minimal layout restrictions. See the EVM user's guide for an example layout (SLUUAA7). In order to maximize efficiency at light load, the use of voltage level setting resistors > 1MΩ is recommended. In addition, the sample and hold circuit output capacitor on VREF_SAMP must hold the voltage for 16s. During board assembly, contaminants such as solder flux and even some board cleaning agents can leave residue that may form parasitic resistors across the physical resistors/capacitors and/or from one end of a resistor/capacitor to ground, especially in humid, fast airflow environments. This can result in the voltage regulation and threshold levels changing significantly from those expected per the installed components. Therefore, it is highly recommended that no ground planes be poured near the voltage setting resistors or the sample and hold capacitor. In addition, the boards must be carefully cleaned, possibly rotated at least once during cleaning, and then rinsed with de-ionized water until the ionic contamination of that water is well above 50 MOhm. If this is not feasible, then it is recommended that the sum of the voltage setting resistors be reduced to at least 5X below the measured ionic contamination. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the powerdissipation limits of a given component. Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below. • Improving the power-dissipation capability of the PCB design • Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB • Introducing airflow in the system For more details on how to use the thermal parameters in the Thermal Table, check the Thermal Characteristics Application Note (SZZA017) and the IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Note (SPRA953).
