Description
Features
Fully integrated charger with FET pass transistor,
reverse-blocking diode, sense resistor, timer, and
thermal protection
The SC804A is a fully integrated full-feature, single cell
constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) 4.4V LithiumIon battery charger. With an integrated timer and
complete charge control algorithm, the SC804A is ideal for
stand-alone charger applications. The SC804A contains
programmable pre-charge, fast-charge and termination
current settings. The SC804A can be programmed to
terminate charging based on the output current or the
time-out of the programmable timer. The fast charge
current is typically set with an external resistor, but it can
also be adjusted by applying an analog voltage to the AFC
pin. This feature allows use of a microcontroller to set
charging current via a DAC output.
Battery voltage controlled to 1% accuracy
Programmable precharge, fastcharge & termination
current over wide range, with analog current control
reference input for design flexibility
Up to 1.5A continuous charge current
Input voltage range from 3V to 14V
Soft-start reduces start-of-charge adapter
load transients
NTC thermistor sense input and adjustable cold
temperature threshold
The SC804A’s 14V input voltage range eliminates the
need for additional protection circuitry required by other
5V chargers to protect against faulty adapters. The
SC804A also incorporates an under-voltage lockout falling
threshold of 3V so that charging will continue if the input
supply goes into a current-limited mode.
Adjustable 2 - 6 hour programmable charge timer
0.1μA battery drain current in shutdown and monitor
modes
Small 4mm x 4mm 16 lead MLPQ package
Over-current protection in all modes
Over-voltage protection
Reference ground and battery sense inputs are provided
to eliminate voltage drops during charging due to high
charging currents.
Remote Kelvin sensing at the battery terminals
Status indicators for charger-present, charger-active,
over-voltage fault, and error notification
The output voltage to the battery is controlled to within
1% of the programmed voltage. The SC804A can also
function
as a general purpose

DRAFT
General Operation
Fast-Charge Mode (CC)
The SC804A can be configured independently with respect
to fast-charge and termination current, output voltage,
and timing, depending on the application. A typical
charging cycle is described below. Details on alternative
applications and output programmability are covered in
the individual sections.
The fast-charge CC (Constant Current) mode is active when
the battery voltage is above VTPreQ and less than VCV. The
fast-charge current can be set to a maximum of 1.5A and
is selected by the program resistor on the IPRGM pin. The
voltage on this pin will represent the current through the
battery, enabling a microprocessor via an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) to monitor battery current by sensing the
voltage on the IPRGM pin. The equation to set the fastcharge current is given by:
The charging cycle begins when the power adapter is
connected to the device. The SC804A performs glitch
filtering on the VCC input and initiates a charge cycle
when VVCC is greater than the under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
rising threshold voltage. If the battery voltage is less than
the pre-charge threshold level, the SC804A will output the
pre-charge current. Once the pre-charge threshold voltage
is exceeded, the SC804A enters fast-charge constant
current (CC) mode. When the battery voltage reaches its
final value, the charger enters the constant voltage (CV)
mode. In this mode the output current decreases as the
battery continues to charge until the termination current
level is reached. The CHRGB output turns off when IOUT
drops below the termination current. If the charge timer
is active, the SC804A continues to hold the battery in
CV charge mode until the timer expires. When the timer
expires the charger enters the monitor mode where the
output remains off until the voltage at VOUT drops by
VTReQ. At this point a new charge cycle is initiated.
FCI =
VIPRGM_Typ
RIPRGM
× 1000
The superior fast-charge current accuracy of the SC804A
is obtained by use of a patented* polarity-switched
(i.e., chopped) current sense amplifier to nullify current
measurement offset errors.
Compliance with the absolute maximum output current
IVOUTMAX, allowing for current regulation tolerance, requires
that RIPRGM be no smaller than 1.05kΩ nominal. RIPRGM can
be as large as 12.1kΩ, for a nominal FCI as small as 130
mA, but must exceed PCI by at least 80mA. Note that for
a given program resistor the current into the battery in CV
mode can be determined by replacing VIPRGM_Typ with the
actual voltage on the IPRGM pin in the above equation.
The CC current can also be modified by applying an analog
voltage to the AFC pin as described below.
Pre-Charge Mode
Pre-charge mode is automatically enabled whenever
the battery voltage is below the pre-charge threshold
voltage, VTPreQ. It is used to limit the power dissipation and
precondition the battery for fast charging. The pre-charge
current value is determined by the resistor on the ITERM
pin. The pre-charge current is programmable from 50mA
to 350mA. The equation to select the pre-charge current
is given by:
VITERM_Typ
PCI =
× 100
RITERM
Analog Fast Charge (AFC Pin)
Many applications require more than one current setting
for fast-charge. This behavior is obtained in the SC804A
using the AFC function. When the AFC pin is connected
to VCC the device behaves as described in the previous
section. When the AFC pin is driven by an analog voltage
between 0V and (VVCC-1.0)V, the SC804A automatically
uses this pin voltage to set the maximum fast-charge
current according to the following equation:
where VITERM_Typ designates the typical value of VITERM. When
the timer is enabled there is also a maximum allowed precharge duration. If the pre-charge time exceeds 25% of
the total charge cycle the charger will turn off due to a
pre-charge fault. This fault is cleared when VCC is toggled
or the output voltage rises above VTPreQ.
FCI =

This adjustment to the fast charge current is obtained
by replacing the fixed VIPRGM reference voltage with the

AFC voltage. (Note that AFC voltages above VIPRGM will
produce IVOUT exceeding that programmed as per the FastCharge Mode (CC) section.) For any applied AFC voltage,
FCI must not drop below 130mA, and FCI must always
remain at least 80mA greater than PCI.
Connecting a resistor between RTIM and GND will program
the total charge time according to the following equation:
Termination Current
Charge time =
Once the battery voltage reaches VCV the SC804A will
transition from constant current mode to constant voltage
mode. The current through the battery will decrease while
the voltage remains constant as the battery becomes fully
charged. When the current falls below the programmed
termination current set by the termination resistor
connected to the ITERM pin, the SC804A will disable
CHRGB. If the timer is enabled the output will continue
to float-charge in CV mode until the timer expires. If the
timer is disabled, the output will turn off as soon as the
termination current level is reached. The equation to set
the termination current is given by:

With charge time expressed in hours. The timer is
programmable over the range of 2 to 6 hours. The internal
timer selection results in a charge time of 3 hours. The
SC804A will automatically turn off the output when the
charge timer times out.
NTC Interface
The NTC pin provides an interface to a battery pack
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. The
typical NTC network has a fixed resistor from VCC to the
NTC pin, and the battery pack NTC thermistor connected
from the NTC pin to ground. In this configuration, an
increasing battery temperature produces a decreasing
NTC pin voltage, and a decreasing battery temperature
produces an increasing NTC pin voltage.
× 100
ITERM can be programmed to be as high as 300mA or as
low as 50mA, though accuracy is not guaranteed below
100mA. ITERM must be programmed to be less than FCI
for correct operation of the charge cycle.
This configuration is shown in the typical application
schematic on page 1 of this datasheet. When the NTC
voltage from the divider is greater than the high (cold)
threshold or less than the low (hot) threshold, the SC804A
suspends the charge cycle by turning off the output, halting
(but not resetting) the charge timer, and indicating a fault
on the FLTB pin. Hysteresis is included for both high and
low NTC thresholds to avoid chatter at the NTC trip points.
When the NTC pin voltage returns to the valid range, the
SC804A automatically resumes the charge cycle. The
charge timer will time-out when the SC804A output ontime exceeds the timer setting regardless of how long it
has been disabled due to the NTC temperature.
Monitor Mode
When a charge cycle is complete, the SC804A output
turns off and the device enters monitor mode. If the
voltage of the battery falls below the recharge threshold
(VCV - VReQ), the charger will clear the charge timer and
re-initiate a charge cycle. The maximum current drain of
the battery during monitor mode will be no more than 1μA
over temperature. The status of the charger output as a
function of the timer and IOUT is tabulated below.
Charge Timer
An input voltage between VTNTCH×VVCC and the CTO input
voltage VCTO (VTNTCC×VVCC if CTO is tied to GND) enables
charging. An input voltage outside this range suspends
charging and drives FLTB pin active (low). The internal
NTC thresholds of VTNTCH and VTNTCC were designed to
work with standard thermistors available from numerous
vendors.
The timer on the SC804A has two functions: to protect

the SC804A and resets the charge timer (with the FLTB
pin inactive). The NTC pin can be pulled down to ground
by an external n-channel FET transistor or processor GPIO
to disable or reset the SC804A.
Step 2: Verify acceptable thermistor self heating. In
general, lower values of RT provide more noise immunity
for the NTC voltage, but at the expense of bias current
from the input adapter and power dissipation in the NTC
network. The dissipation constant is the power rating of
the thermistor resulting in a 1oC self heating error. The
greatest self-heating occurs at low thermistor resistance
(at high temperature). Since temperature sensing
accuracy matters only at the charging temperature range
thresholds, self heating is assessed only at the worst case
high temperature threshold of +40oC.
Note that the response of the SC804A to NTC pin voltage
above the high threshold and below the low threshold
is the same. Thus it is possible to configure the NTC
network with the battery pack thermistor between NTC
and VCC, and a fixed resistor between NTC and ground.
This configuration may be useful if it is desired to reset the
charge timer (and the CHRGB output) when the battery
pack is removed (so the fixed resistor pulls the NTC pin to
ground) while VCC is present.
For VVCC = 5V, the 40oC NTC network current INTC_HOT =
VVCC /(R3 + RHOT) = 0.246mA. Power dissipation in the
thermistor at this temperature, PHOT = RHOT × (INTC_HOT)2 =
0.38mW, for self heating of approximately 0.13oC. The
actual high temperature threshold will thus be lower by
0.13oC. This self-heating error is usually acceptable. If
it is not, then a thermistor with a greater RHOT must be
chosen.
Cold Temperature Offset (CTO)
The voltage applied to the CTO pin sets the NTC high
voltage (normally the cold temperature threshold) for the
NTC input. The default NTC high threshold (VTNTCC×VVCC)
can be selected by connecting the CTO pin to ground. If
it is desired to change this threshold, the voltage on the
CTO pin can be set between 0.5×VVCC and 0.9×VVCC.
Step 3: Determine the desired high (cold) threshold.
Compute the NTC network resistor divider voltage, as a
function of VVCC, at the cold temperature threshold.
This feature is especially useful if a single PCB design
is needed to satisfy similar applications with different
requirements. The temperature range for normal charging
can be adjusted by adjusting resistor values on a divider
network without changing the NTC thermistor, which
is often enclosed in the battery pack. An example of a
typical application is shown in Figure 2.
NTCCOLD =
R3 + RCOLD
= 0.6591 × VCC
Step 4: Configure CTO. If NTCCOLD is sufficiently close
to the default cold threshold (VTNTCC×VVCC), then simply
connect CTO to ground, disabling the CTO function, to
complete the design. But in this example it is not, so the
voltage on CTO must be set to 0.6591×VVCC. The simple
resistive voltage divider network of Figure 2 can be used
to obtain the desired CTO voltage.
NTC/CTO Design Example
The following example assumes the NTC network
configuration of Figure 2, with a fixed resistor R3 connected
between NTC and VCC, and a battery NTC thermistor
RT connected between NTC and ground. The battery
temperature range over which charging is permitted is
0oC through 40oC. The datasheet for the selected NTC
thermistor indicates that RT = 5.839kΩ at 40oC, at RT =
26.49kΩ at 0oC, with a dissipation constant DC = 3mW.
Designate RHOT = 5.839kΩ and RCOLD = 26.49kΩ.
VCTO = NTCCOLD

VCC × RCT2

or
Step 1: Select R3. For the normal (NTC thermistor to
ground) configuration, solve the NTC network voltage
divider for R3 to place the NTC voltage at 0.3×VCC when
RT = RHOT.

internal voltage references as VOUT pulls VCC DRAFT
down to
near, or below, VCV, creating a reduced output regulation
voltage approximately 200mV below VCC. Thus VCC
cannot be pulled down below VOUT + 200mV. The dropout
voltage will be larger than 200mV whenever the minimum
path resistance multiplied by the output current exceeds
200mV, but it cannot be smaller than 200mV.
The choice of RCT1 and RCT2 is somewhat arbitrary. The
simplest approach is to pick one and compute the other.
A good choice here is RCT1 = 115kΩ, and RCT2 = 221kΩ, as
these standard 1% tolerance values produce the closest
match to the desired voltage divider ratio. With these
resistor nominal values,
VCTO =
VCC × RCT2
= 0.6577 × VCC
RCT1 + RCT2
This greatest-of-two-limit dropout voltage behavior is
evident in the dropout voltage typical performance plot.
which is, nominally, only 0.2% below the target value of
0.6591×VVCC. The CTO network will present a load of only
15μA to a 5V charging adapter. The nominal impedance
presented to the CTO pin is RCT1 || RCT2 = 75.6kΩ. Any
impedance on the order of 100kΩ (or less) is acceptable.
When operating in Adjust Mode (next section), the
regulated minimum dropout voltage depends on the
programmed VOUT regulation voltage, and dropout also
varies with the actual output voltage during CC charging.
See Figure 4 for an illustration of dropout voltage data.
Remote Kelvin Sensing at the Battery
Adjust Mode
The BSEN pin provides the positive Kelvin sensing voltage
feedback to the CV amplifier and should be connected as
close to the battery + terminal as possible. Likewise, the
RGND pin should be connected directly to the negative
terminal of the battery. This allows the designer great
flexibility in PCB layout and achieves greater accuracy
by sensing the battery voltage directly at the battery
terminals. When laying out the PCB, the designer should
route the BSEN and RGND trace directly to the battery
connection terminals, rather than just to the VOUT and
GND pins on the device.
The SC804A can be configured for an output voltage
other than VCV using Adjust (ADJ) Mode. In Adjust Mode
the output voltage is determined by an external resistor
divider from VOUT to BSEN. When BSEN is connected in
this fashion, VVOUT (during Constant Voltage (CV) charging)
will be controlled such that the voltage at the BSEN pin
(VBSEN) is the reference voltage VBSEN-ADJ.
Dropout Voltage
VVOUT within 150mV of VBSEN guarantees normal mode
operation. This implies that, for BSEN used as a Kelvin
sense of battery voltage, the product of the fast charge
current and the charge path resistance from VOUT to the
Kelvin sense point should not exceed 150mV to ensure
normal mode operation.
The output voltage can be set to any voltage desired by
an appropriate choice of divider network resistors, within
the following limits. When the SC804A is programmed for
adjust mode, VVOUT is required to be 150mV less than VVCC,
and VVOUT is required to be 400mV greater than VBSEN.
Dropout voltage is the smallest achievable difference
voltage between VCC and VOUT under a particular
operating condition. Dropout voltage is encountered
during CC charging whenever the current limit of the
charging adapter is less than the SC804A FCI programmed
current. In this case, the adapter voltage (the SC804A
input voltage) will be pulled down to the battery voltage
(the SC804A output voltage) plus the dropout voltage.
The SC804A Adjust Mode schematic is shown in Figures
3a and 3b. Referring to these schematics, the equation
for setting the output voltage is:
R11
VOUT = VBSEN-ADJ_TYP x 1 + R12
(
Dropout voltage is the larger of two values: (1) the I-R
component, which is the output current multiplied by the
minimum VCC-to-VOUT path resistance (which is highly
temperature dependent), and (2) a regulated minimum
difference voltage, which is output voltage dependent
but is independent of the output current. The regulated
minimum dropout voltage results from the collapse of

The capacitor C3 across R8 in the feedback network
introduces zero-pole frequency compensation for stability.
Place the zero according to the following equation to
ensure stability:

Figure 4 - Adjust Mode Minimum Dropout Voltage
The actual dropout voltage is the greater of the Minimum Dropout
Voltage at various programmed VCV and instantaneous VOUT
voltages (shown here, with several programmed VCV voltages
indicated in the figure by ‘o’), and the IR drop due to the product
of IOUT and RDS-ON (not shown here). Adjust mode operation is
ensured for any IOUT current at programmed VCV voltages up to
approximately 4.41V.
NOTE: When using Adjust Mode to program a CV regulation
voltage greater than VCV, care must be taken when CC
charging with a charging adapter operating in current
limit. Adapter current-limited operation occurs when
the adapter current limit is less than the programmed
SC804A fast charge current, such that the adapter voltage
is pulled down to VVOUT plus the SC804A dropout voltage.
A low adapter current limit multiplied by the low minimum
path resistance of the main pass transistor and current
sense resistor (as low as 290mΩ total at extremely low
temperature) can result in a voltage drop from VCC to
VOUT of less than 150mV if the Adjust Mode CV regulation
voltage is programmed above VCV + 50mV. If VVCC - VVOUT
< 150mV, Adjust Mode may not operate correctly. Adjust
Mode will operate correctly whenever the programmed
VOUT CV voltage is less than VCV + 50mV, regardless of the
adapter current limit, because the regulated minimum
dropout voltage is always greater than 150mV in this
case. It will also operate correctly with an adapter current
limit greater than 550 mA, regardless of the programmed
output voltage, because the I-R dropout voltage will
exceed 150mV at even the lowest specified operating
temperature. Normal mode (that is, not Adjust Mode) has
a regulated minimum dropout voltage of approximately
200mV, which is constant for any VVOUT, and so operates
correctly for any adapter current limit.

Overcurrent protection is inherent in all modes of operation.
When the device is in charge mode the output is currentlimited to either the pre-charge current limit value or the
fast charge current limit value depending on the voltage
at the output. Max die temperature protection is also
included. This feature allows the SC804A to operate
with maximum power dissipation by disabling the output
current when the die temperature reaches the maximum
operating temperature. The result is that the SC804A will
operate as a pulse charger in extreme power dissipation
applications, delivering the maximum allowable output
current while regulating the internal die temperature to a
safe level.
Indicator Flags
There are four indicator outputs/LED drivers ont he
SC804A; CPB (Charger Present), CHRGB (Charge Active),
OVPB (Over Voltage Fault), and FLTB (Fault). These outputs
are all active-low; open drain NMOS drivers capable of
sinking up to 10mA. The following table defines each
indicator’s output state.

The CPB output can be used as a VCC-present indicator.
Regardless of teh state of NTC, the CPB output reflects
the VCC voltage. When VCC is between the UVLO and OVP
thresholds the CPB output is low. If VCC is outside these
limits, this output is high impedance.
The CHRGB output indicates the charging status. When
the output current is greater than ITERM, CHRGB is low.
CHRGB is high impedance when IOUT is less than ITERM.
The CHRGB output is latched during the charge cycle
when the output current is less than ITERM. This latch is
reset when the battery enters a recharge cycle, or if NTC
or VCC are toggled.

and pre-charge timeout. When any of these conditions
occurs the FLTB output goes low; otherwise it remains
high impedance.
The FLTB output is activated when the device experiences
a fault condition. This output can be used to notify the
system controller of a fault condition when connected to
an interrupt input, or it can be used like CPB and CHRGB
to drive an indicator LED. There are five fault modes
signaled by FLTB: input over-voltage, input under-voltage,
NTC temperature out of range, max die temperature (OT),
Capacitor Selection
Low cost, low ESR ceramic capacitors such as the X5R and
X7R dielectric material types are recommended for use with
the SC804A. The output capacitance range is 1μF to 4.7μF.
The input capacitor is typically between 0.1μF to 2.2μF, but
larger values will not degrade performance
