DS2715 NiMH Battery Pack Charge Controller www.maxim-ic.com DESCRIPTION PIN CONFIGURATION The DS2715 is well suited for cost-sensitive charger applications where the battery is either internal or in a unique battery pack. It has been optimized for safe reliable charging of 1 to10 NiMH cells in series. The DS2715 has an internal gain block that can be selected as either a comparator or transconductance amplifier for charge current regulation. The DS2715 is configurable as a switched DC charger, a linear current regulator, or a switchmode current source. The DS2715 pre-conditions severely depleted cells are pre-conditioned before entering full charge mode. The DS2715 terminates full charge using the dT/dt technique. It requires an external thermistor for dT/dt detection. Over-temperature, under-temperature, and over-voltage detection prevents charging under unsafe environmental conditions. A user selectable charge timer allows charge rates from 0.15C to 2C. Fast-charge, top-off and charge done modes are included for highly reliable, safe charging of NiMH cells. Discharge mode allows the DS2715 to enter a low power sleep state while the cell pack is being discharged.

With the mode select pin the DS2715 can be configured to regulate either as an error amplifier in linear mode or as a comparator in switched mode. A charge cycle begins in one of two ways: with the application of power to the DS2715 with cell pack already inserted or with the detection of cell insertion after power-up. The charge cycle begins with pre-charge qualification to prevent fast charging of deeply depleted cells or charging under extreme temperature conditions. Pre-charging is performed at a reduced rate until each cell reaches 1V. The algorithm proceeds to a fast-charge phase. Fast charging continues as long as the cell pack temperature is less than 50°C based on the THM voltage, the cell voltage as measured by the VBATT pin remains below 1.65V indicating the cell pack is still present. Fast charging terminates by measuring the cell pack’s thermal rate of change dT/dt. When the cell pack’s thermal rate of change exceeds 0.5°C per minute the DS2715 enters top-off. The DS2715 has an internal charge timer as secondary overcharge protection if the charge is not terminated by the dT/dt method. The charge termination timer duration is user selectable from 30 minutes up to 6 hours by an external resistor on the RT pin. The DS2715 remains in top-off for one-half of the period of the fast charge timer duration as selected by the external resistor on RT. After the top-off charge timer expires, the done phase continues indefinitely until the cell pack is removed from the charger or a load is attached. When a load attached to the cell pack, the DS2715 switches to discharge mode. All charge functions are disabled and the regulation FET is driven on to allow the cell pack to discharge. Two LED indicators display the charge status to the user. Undervoltage Lockout (Reset) The UVLO circuit serves as a power-up and brownout detector by monitoring VDD to prevent charging until VDD rises above VUVLO, or when VDD drops below VUVLO - VUVLO-HYS. If UVLO is active, charging is prevented, the state machine is forced to the RESET state, and all charge timers are reset. A 10ms deglitch circuit provides noise immunity. Once VDD reaches an acceptable operating voltage the DS2715 enters the PRESENCE state. Presence The DS2715 enters the PRESENCE state whenever VDD > VUVLO and VBATT > VOPEN indicating that the charge source is present, but no cell is available to charge. The DS2715 will remain in the presence state until a cell is inserted into the circuit causing the voltage on VBATT to fall below 1.55V (VDET) and the cell temperature is inside a valid charging range between 0°C and 45°C (TTHM-MIN and TTHM-MAX). If both these conditions are met the DS2715 will enter pre-charge. If cells are inserted, but the temperature is outside the valid charging range the DS2715 will remain in the PRESENCE state until the cell temperature falls within the valid charging range. Pre-Charge The DS2715 enters the PRE-CHARGE state when a valid cell voltage is applied to VBATT and the cell temperature as measured by the DS2715 is within the valid charging range. Pre-charge has a 4 second filter to suppress noise on VBATT caused by cell insertion. The DS2715 pre-charges the cell by regulating the voltage drop across the sense resistor to -33mV (VTO) in linear mode or -29mV (VTO - 0.5 x VHYS-TO) in comparator mode. Pre-charge will last until the cell voltage measured by VBATT exceeds 1.0V (VBATT > VLB) at which time the DS2715 will enter FAST CHARGE state. If the cell voltage does not exceed VLB within 30 minutes or if the cell temperature exceeds 50°C at any time during pre-charge, the DS2715 enters the FAULT state. If at any time during pre-charge the voltage on VBATT exceeds 1.65V (VOPEN), the DS2715 determines that the cell pack has been removed and returns to the PRESENCE state. Fast Charge In fast charge mode, the DS2715 regulates the voltage across the sense resistor to -121mV (VFC) in linear mode or -107mV (VFC - 0.5 x VHYS-FC) in comparator mode. LED1 indicates the cell pack is being charged. During fast charge the DS2715 constantly measures the rate of change of the cell temperature (dT/dt). When the cell pack’s dT/dt exceeds 0.5°C per minute (TTERM) the DS2715 enters the TOP-OFF state. The DS2715 ignores changes in the cell temperature caused by charge initiation for the first 4.3 minutes (tBLANK). As secondary overcharge protection, the DS2715 will terminate fast charge and enter top-off based on a time delay set by the external resistor on the RT pin. This resistor value can set the secondary charge termination delay to anywhere from 30 minutes up to 6 hours. If the cell temperature exceeds 50°C at any time during fast charge, the DS2715 enters the 7 of 12 DS2715: NiMH Cell Pack Charge Controller DONE state. If at any time during fast charge the voltage on VBATT exceeds 1.65V (VOPEN), the DS2715 determines that the cell pack has been removed and returns to the PRESENCE state. Top-Off In top-off mode, the DS2715 regulates the voltage across the sense resistor to -33mV (VTO) in linear mode or 29mV (VTO - 0.5 x VHYS-TO) in comparator mode. LED1 indicates the cell pack is being charged. The charge timer is reset and restarted with a time-out period of one half the fast-charge duration. When the charge timer expires or if the measured temperature exceeds 50°C, the charger enters the DONE state. DONE/Maintenance The DS2715 enters the DONE state whenever the charge completes normally or if the measured cell temperature exceeds 50°C during the charge. While in the done state VCH is driven to high impedance to prevent further charging of the cell pack and LED is driven on to indicate charge completion. A maintenance charge can be applied to the cells by providing a resistive path from the cell pack to the charge source bypassing the regulator. See the example circuit in Figure 3. The DS2715 remains in DONE until a cell voltage greater than 1.65V (VOPEN) is detected on VBATT indicating the cell pack has been removed. The DS2715 then enters the PRESENCE state and waits for the next cell insertion. FAULT The DS2715 enters FAULT if pre-charge is unable to charge the cell above 1.0V (VLB) before the 30 minute precharge timeout of if the cell temperature exceeds 50°C during pre-charge. In the fault state VCH is driven to high impedance and LED2 blinks to indicate the fault condition. The DS2715 remains in FAULT until a cell voltage greater than 1.65V (VOPEN) is detected on VBATT indicating the cell pack has been removed. The DS2715 then enters the PRESENCE state and waits for the next cell insertion. Discharge Mode When the DS2715 detects a discharge current voltage drop of VDCHG-SET or greater across the sense resistor, charging is terminated and the DS2715 enters the DISCHARGE state. While in this mode, voltage sensing, thermal sensing, and LED outputs are disabled. The VCH pin is driven low to allow the pack to be discharged. Current drain of the DS2715 drops to IDDD. The DS2715 remains in discharge mode until a charge current of at least VDCHG-RST is detected. When this occurs the DS2715 enters the presence detect state to begin a new charge cycle. Application Circuit Figure 3 shows a typical application circuit for charging a 3-cell stack. The mode pin is tied to VSS for linear operation. A 75mΩ sense resistor (R10) sets the charge current at 1.6A. The DS2715 regulates the current through Q1. 68kΩ on RT (R6) sets the fast charge timeout to 102 minutes. R5 and R8 form a 1:3 voltage divider to allow VBATT to measure the voltage of a single cell. The charge source is isolated with diode CR1 to prevent discharge through the source connection. R1 and CR2 form a maintenance charge path to supply the cell pack with ~40mA constant current after the charge completes. Lastly VR1 and R4 create a current leakage path to bias the regulator circuit and prevent an in-rush current spike when the cell stack is connected to the powered circuit. 8 of 12 DS2715: NiMH Cell Pack Charge Controller Figure 3.

The DC Switched method requires a currrent-limited power source. Mode of operation is selected through the Mode pin. Connecting the Mode pin to VSS configures the analog block as a transconductance amplifier for linear mode of operation. Connecting the Mode pin to the Cbias pin configures the DS2715 as a comparator for switched mode of operation. Current-Sense Amplifier Mode An error amplifier block provides several options to regulate the charge current. The 20mA open-drain output can drive a PMOS or PNP pass element for linear regulation, or the output can drive an optocoupler for isolated feedback to a primary-side PWM controller. The SNS- pin is a remote-sense return and should be connected to the grounded side of the sense resistor using a separate, insulated conductor. During fast charge, an error signal between the current-sense signal (across the sense resistor) and the internal reference is produced so the voltage across the sense resistor is maintained at VFC in a closed-loop circuit. During top-off the voltage across the sense resistor is maintained at VTO. Current-Sense Comparator Mode The comparator in the DS2715 switches between ON and OFF and is capable of driving a PNP bipolar or a PMOS transistor, enabling the use of a switched-mode power stage. Hysteresis on the comparator input provides noise rejection. In a closed-loop regulation circuit, the comparator regulates voltage across the sense resistor to a DC average of: VRSNS = VFC - 0.5 x VHYS-FC = -0.107V during fast charge VRSNS = VTO - 0.5 x VHYS-TO = -0.029V during top-off Charge Rate Selection The charge rate is determined by an external sense resistor connected between the SNS+ and SNS- pins. The DS2715 will regulate the charge current to maintain a voltage drop of VFC (VFC - 0.5 x VHYS-FC in comparator mode) across the sense resistor during fast charge. The sense resistor can therefore be selected by: Linear Mode: R = VFC / Desired Fast Charge Current Comparator Mode: R = (VFC - 0.5 x VHYS-FC) / Desired Fast Charge Current Charge Time and Top-Off Time Selection Pre-charge has a fixed 30 minute limit generated by an internal oscillator. Charge time and top-off time are controlled by an external resistor from the RT pin to VSS. Resistors can be selected to support fast-charge time-out periods of 0.5 to 6 hours and top-off charge time-out periods of 0.25 to 3 hours. If the timer expires in fast-charge, the timer count is reset and charging proceeds to the top-off charge phase. The top-off time-out period is half of the fast charge time-out period. If the timer expires in top-off, the DS2715 enters the DONE state. The programmed charge time approximately follows the equation: t = 1.5 x R / 1000 (time in minutes) 10 of 12 DS2715: NiMH Cell Pack Charge Controller TEMPERATURE SENSE Accurate temperature sensing is needed to determine end of charge by dT/dt and to detect over temperature fault conditions. Connecting an external 10kW NTC thermistor between THM and VSS, and a 10kW bias resistor between Div and THM allows the DS2715 to sense temperature. To sense the temperature of the cell pack, locate the thermistor close to the body of a cell, preferably in the middle of the cell pack. Several recommended 10kW thermistors are shown in Table 2. Min, Max Temperature Compare The voltage thresholds of the THM input (VTHM-MIN, VTHM-MAX) are set to allow charging to start if 0°C < TCELL < 45°C when using the recommended 10kW bias and 10kW thermistor. If pre-charging is in progress, and the voltage on THM reaches VTHM-STOP, pre-charging stops and a fault condition is generated. If the voltage on THM reaches VTHMSTOP during fast charge or top-off, charging stops and the DS2715 enters the DONE state. Fast charging will complete normally and top-off will begin if the voltage change on THM exceeds TTERM ºC per minute (dT/dt charge termination). Table 2.

When inactive, the outputs are high impedance. LED1 displays the state of charge and LED2 displays the charge results. The LED1 pin drives low in a 1Hz, 50% duty cycle “blink” pattern to indicate cells are charging. LED2 drives low with 100% duty cycle to signal a successful charge completion or blinks at 4Hz, 50% duty cycle to signal a charging fault has occurred. Both LED pins remain in a high-impedance state when no cells are present or the discharge latch is set. LED pins can be tied together if only one LED display is desired.
