Lithium Ion Fast-Charge IC
Features
General Description
➤ Safe charge of Lithium Ion battery packs
The bq2054 Lithium Ion FastCharge IC is designed to optimize
charging of lithium ion (Li-Ion)
chemistry batteries. A flexible
pulse-width modulation regulator
allows the bq2054 to control voltage
and current during charging. The
regulator frequency is set by an external capacitor for design flexibility.
The switch-mode design keeps
power dissipation to a minimum.
➤ Voltage-regulated currentlimited charging
➤ Fast charge terminated by selectable minimum current; safety
backup termination on maximum
time
➤ Charging continuously qualified
by temperature and voltage limits
➤ Pulse-width modulation control
ideal for high-efficiency switchmode power conversion
The bq2054 measures battery temperature using an external thermistor for charge qualification. Charging
begins when power is applied or on
battery insertion.
➤ Direct LED control outputs display charge status and fault conditions
For safety, the bq2054 inhibits
charging until the battery voltage
and temperature are within con-

figured limits. If the battery voltage
is less than the low-voltage threshold, the bq2054 provides low-current
conditioning of the battery.
A constant current-charging phase replenishes up to 70% of the charge capacity, and a voltage-regulated phase
returns the battery to full. The charge
cycle terminates when the charging
current falls below a user-selectable
current limit. For safety, charging terminates after maximum time and is
suspended if the temperature is outside the preconfigured limits.
The bq2054 provides status indications of all charger states and faults
for accurate determination of the
battery and charge system conditions.

Charger display status 1–3 outputs
These charger status output drivers are for

This three-state input is used to set IMIN for
fast charge termination. See Table 2.
ICOMP
Current-switching control output
MOD is a pulse-width modulated push/pull
output that is used to control the charging
current to the battery. MOD switches high
to enable current flow and low to inhibit current flow.
This input uses an external R-C network for
voltage loop stability.
ITERM
Common LED output
Common output for LED1–3. This output is
in a high-impedance state during initializ a t i o n t o r e a d programming input on
DSEL.
BAT is the battery voltage sense input. This
potential is generally developed using a
high-impedance resistor divider network
connected between the positive and the
negative terminals of the battery. See Figure 4 and Equation 1.
VCOMP
Regulation timebase input
This input uses an external timing capacitor
to ground to set the pulse-width modulation

Inrush current control output
ICTL is driven low during the fault or

to disconnect the capacitor across the battery
pack terminals, preventing inrush currents
from tripping overcurrent protection features in the pack when a new battery is inserted.

Ground
bq2054
Thermal monitoring continues throughout the charge
cycle, and the bq2054 enters the Charge Pending state
when the temperature out of range. (There is one exception; if the bq2054 is in the Fault state—see below—the
out-of-range temperature is not recognized until the
bq2054 leaves the Fault state.) All timers are suspended (but not reset) while the bq2054 is in Charge
Pending. When the temperature comes back into range,
the bq2054 returns to the point in the charge cycle
where the out-of-range temperature was detected.
Charge Algorithm
The bq2054 uses a two-phase fast charge algorithm. In
phase 1, the bq2054 regulates constant current (ISNS =
IMAX) until VCELL (= VBAT - VSNS) rises to VREG. The
bq2054 then transitions to phase 2 and regulates constant voltage (VCELL = VREG) until the charging current
falls below the programmed IMIN threshold. The charging current must remain below IMIN for 120 ± 40ms before a valid fast charge termination is detected. Fast
charge then terminates, and the bq2054 enters the
Charge Complete state. See Figures 1 and 2.
When the temperature is valid, the bq2054 then regulates current to ICOND (=IMAX/5). After an initial holdoff
period tHO (which prevents the chip from reacting to
transient voltage spikes that may occur when charge
current is first applied), the chip begins monitoring
VCELL. If VCELL does not rise to at least VMIN before the
expiration of time-out limit tMTO (e.g. the cell has failed
short), the bq2054 enters the Fault state. If VMIN is
achieved before expiration of the time limit, the chip begins fast charging.
Charge Qualification
The bq2054 starts a charge cycle when power is applied
while a battery is present or when a battery is inserted.
Figure 2 shows the state diagram for pre-charge qualification and temperature monitoring. The bq2054 first
checks that the battery temperature is within the allowed, user-configurable range. If the temperature is out
of range, the bq2054 enters the Charge Pending state
and waits until the battery temperature is within the allowed range. Charge Pending is enunciated by LED3
flashing.
Once in the Fault state, the bq2054 waits until VCC is
cycled or a new battery insertion is detected. It then
starts a new charge cycle and begins the qualification
process again.

Charge Status Display
Configuring the Display Mode and IMIN
Charge status is enunciated by the LED driver outputs
LED1–LED3. Three display modes are available in the
bq2054; the user selects a display mode by configuring
pin DSEL. Table 1 shows the three display modes.
DSEL/LED2 is a bi-directional pin with two functions; it
is an LED driver pin as an output and a programming
pin as an input. The selection of pull-up, pull-down, or
no pull resistor programs the display mode on DSEL per
Table 1. The bq2054 latches the programming data
sensed on the DSEL input when any one of the following
three events occurs:
The bq2054 does not distinguish between an overvoltage fault and a “battery absent” condition. The
bq2054 enters the Fault state, enunciated by turning on
LED3, whenever the battery is absent. The bq2054,
therefore, gives an indication that the charger is on even
when no battery is in place to be charged.

VCC rises to a valid level.
2.
The bq2054 leaves the Fault state.
3.
The bq2054 detects battery insertion.
The LEDs go blank for approximately 750ms (typical)
while new programming data is latched.

Fast charge terminates when the charging current drops
below a minimum current threshold programmed by the
value of ITERM (see Table 2) and remains below that
level for 120 ± 40ms.
These parameters are typically specified by the battery
manufacturer. The total resistance presented across the
battery pack by RB1 + RB2 should be between 150kΩ
and 1MΩ. The minimum value ensures that the divider
network does not drain the battery excessively when the
power source is disconnected. Exceeding the maximum
value increases the noise susceptibility of the BAT pin.

Voltage and Current Monitoring
Both VHCO and IMIN terminations are ignored during
the first 1.33 ± 0.19 seconds of both the Charge Qualification and Fast Charge phases. This condition prevents
premature termination due to voltage spikes that may
occur when charge is first applied.

Hold-Off Period
The bq2054 monitors battery pack voltage at the BAT
pin. The user must implement a voltage divider between the positive and negative terminals of the battery
pack to present a scaled battery pack voltage to the BAT
pin. The bq2054 also uses the voltage across a sense resistor (RSNS) between the negative terminal of the battery pack and ground to monitor the current into the
pack. See Figure 4 for the configuration of this network.

Battery Insertion and Removal
Temperature Monitoring
VCELL is interpreted by the bq2054 to detect the presence or absence of a battery. The bq2054 determines
that a battery is present when V CELL is between the
High-Voltage Cutoff (V HCO = V REG + 0.25V) and
the Low-Voltage Cutoff (VLCO = 0.8V). When VCELL is
outside this range, the bq2054 determines that no battery is present and transitions to the Fault state. Transitions into and out of the range between VLCO and VHCO
are treated as battery insertions and removals, respectively. The VHCO limit also implicitly serves as an overvoltage charge termination.
The bq2054 monitors temperature by examining the
voltage presented between the TS and SNS pins by a resistor network that includes a Negative Temperature
Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. Resistance variations
around that value are interpreted as being proportional
to the battery temperature (see Figure 6).
The temperature thresholds used by the bq2054 and
their corresponding TS pin voltage are:
n
Inrush Current Control

Whenever the bq2054 is in the fault or charge-complete
state, the ICTL output is driven low. This output can be
used to disconnect the capacitor usually present in the
charger across the positive and negative battery terminals, preventing the cap from supplying large inrush
currents to a newly inserted battery. Such inrush currents may trip the overcurrent protection circuitry usually present in Li-Ion battery packs.

TCO is determined by the values of RT1 and RT2. 1%

Disabling Temperature Sensing
Charge Regulation
Temperature sensing can be disabled by placing 10kΩ
resistors between TS and SNS and between SNS and
VCC.
The bq2054 controls charging through pulse-width
modulation of the MOD output pin, supporting both
constant-current and constant-voltage regulation.
Charge current is monitored at the SNS pin, and charge
voltage is monitored at the BAT pin. These voltages are
compared to an internal reference, and the MOD output
modulated to maintain the desired value.
Maximum Time-Out
MTO is programmed from 1 to 24 hours by an R-C network on the TM pin (see Figure 7) per the equation:
Voltage at the SNS pin is determined by the value of resistor RSNS, so nominal regulated current is set by:
Equation 5
Equation 6
tMTO = 0.5 * R * C
IMAX = 0.250V/RSNS
Where R is in kΩ and C is in µF, tMTO is in hours. The
maximum value for C (0.1µF) is typically used.
The switching frequency of the MOD output is determined by an external capacitor (CPWM) between the
pin TPWM and ground, per the following:
The MTO timer is reset at the beginning of fast charge
and when fast charge transitions from the current regulated to the voltage regulated mode. If MTO expires during the current regulated phase, the bq2054 enters the
Fault state and terminates charge. If the MTO timer expires during the voltage regulated phase, fast charging
terminates and the bq2054 enters the Charge Complete
state.
Equation 7
FPWM = 0.1/CPWM
Where C is in µF and F is in kHz. A typical switching
rate is 100kHz, implying CPWM = 0.001µF. MOD pulse
width is modulated between 0 and 90% of the switching
period.
The MTO timer is suspended (but not reset) during the
out-of-range temperature (Charge Pending) state.
To prevent oscillation in the voltage and current control
loops, frequency compensation networks (C or R-C) are typically required on the VCOMP and ICOMP pins (respectively).
