Charging begins automatically when a valid input source
is applied. Thermal limiting protects the SC810 from
excessive power dissipation. It can be programmed to
turn off when charging is complete or to continue operating as an LDO regulator while float-charging the battery.
The input will charge with an adapter operating in voltage
regulation or in current-limit to obtain the lowest possible
power dissipation by pulling the input voltage down to
the battery voltage. The maximum fast-charge current
setting is 1A.
Charge current is programmed with a single resistor. Precharge and termination current are fixed at 20% and 10%,
respectively, of the programmed fast-charge current.
Charge current steps up to the programmed value (soft
starts) to reduce load transients on the charging adapter.

Notes:
(1) Maximum operating voltage is the maximum Vsupply as defined in EIA/JEDEC Standard No. 78, paragraph 2.11. This is the input voltage at
which the charger is guaranteed to begin operation.
(2) Sustained operation to VTUVLO-F ≤ VVIN is guaranteed only if a current limited charging source applied to VIN is pulled below VTUVLO-R by the
charging load; forced VIN voltage below VTUVLO-R in some cases may result in regulation errors or other unexpected behavior.

Applications Information
Charger Operation
The SC810 is a single cell Li-ion battery charger. It implements a Constant Current, Constant Voltage, Constant
Temperature (CC/CV/CT) charging algorithm.
When an input supply is first detected, a charge cycle is
initiated and the STATB open-drain output goes low. If the
battery voltage is less than the pre-charge threshold
voltage, the pre-charge current is supplied. Pre-charge
current is 20% of the programmed fast-charge current.
When the battery voltage exceeds the pre-charge threshold, typically within seconds for a standard battery with a
starting cell voltage greater than 2V, the fast-charge
Constant Current (CC) mode begins. The charge current
soft-starts in three steps (20%, 60%, and 100% of programmed fast-charge current) to reduce adapter load
transients. CC current is programmed by the IPRGM resistance to ground.
The charger begins Constant Voltage (CV) regulation
when the battery voltage rises to the fully-charged singlecell Li-ion regulation voltage (VCV ), nominally 4.2V. In CV
regulation, the output voltage is regulated, and as the
battery charges, the charge current gradually decreases.
The STATB output goes high when IBAT drops below the
termination current threshold, which is 10% of the IPRGM
pin programmed fast-charge current, regardless of the
mode selected. This is known as charge termination.
Optional Float-charging or Monitoring
Depending on the state of the ENB input, upon termination the SC810 either operates indefinitely as a voltage
regulator (float-charging) or it turns off its output. If the
output is turned off upon termination, the device enters
the monitor state. In this state, the output remains off
until the BAT pin voltage decreases by the re-charge
threshold (VTReQ). A re-charge cycle then begins automatically and the process repeats. A forced re-charge cycle
can also be periodically commanded by the processor to
keep the battery topped-off without float-charging. See
the Monitor State section for details. Re-charge cycles are
not indicated by the STATB pin.
Charging Input Pin Properties
Glitch filtering is performed on the VIN pin, so an input
voltage that is ringing across its Under-Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) threshold will not be recognized until the ringing
has ceased. The UVLO rising threshold is set higher than
the voltage of a fully charged Li-ion single cell battery,
ensuring that only a charging source capable of fully
charging the battery has been applied. If the charging
current loads the adapter beyond its current limit, the
input voltage will be pulled down to just above the
battery voltage. The UVLO falling threshold is set close to
the battery voltage pre-charge threshold to permit lowdissipation charging from a current limited adapter.
Constant Current Mode Fast-charge Current
Programming
The Constant Current (CC) mode is active when the
battery voltage is above VTPreQ and less than VCV. The programmed CC regulation fast-charge (FQ) current is
inversely proportional to the resistance between IPRGM
and GND according to the equation
IFQ
VIPRGM _ Typ
u 1000
RIPRGM
The fast-charge current can be programmed for a
minimum of 70mA and a maximum of 995mA,
nominally.
Current regulation accuracy is dominated by gain error at
high current settings, and offset error at low current settings. The range of expected fast-charge output current
versus programming resistance is shown in Figures 1a
and 1b. The figures show the nominal current versus
nominal RIPRGM resistance as the center plot and two theoretical limit plots indicating maximum and minimum
current versus nominal programming resistance. These
plots are derived from models of the expected worst-case
contribution of error sources depending on programmed
current. The current range includes the uncertainty due
to 1% tolerance resistors. The dots on each plot indicate
the currents obtained with standard value 1% tolerance
resistors. Figures 1a and 1b show low and high resistance
ranges, respectively.
Pre-charge Mode
This mode is automatically enabled when the battery
voltage is below the pre-charge threshold voltage
(VTPreQ), typically 2.8V. Pre-charge current conditions the
battery for fast charging. The pre-charge current value is

Termination
When the battery voltage reaches VCV, the SC810 transitions from constant current regulation to constant voltage
regulation. While VBAT is regulated to VCV, the current into
the battery decreases as the battery becomes fully
charged. When the output current drops below the termination current threshold, fixed at 10% of the programmed
fast-charge current, charging terminates. Upon termination, the STATB pin open drain output turns off and the
charger either enters monitor state or float-charges the
battery, depending on the logical state of the ENB input
pin.
Charger output current is the sum of the battery charge
current and the system load current. Battery charge
current changes gradually, and establishes a slowly diminishing lower bound on the output current while charging
in CV mode. The load current into a typical digital system
is highly transient in nature. Charge cycle termination is
detected when the sum of the battery charging current
and the greatest load current occurring within the immediate 300μs to 550μs past interval is less than the
programmed termination current. This timing behavior
permits charge cycle termination to occur during a brief
low-load-current interval, and does not require that the
longer interval average load current be small.
Termination current threshold accuracy is dominated by
offset error. The range of expected termination current
versus programming resistance is shown in Figures 3a
and 3b. The figures show the nominal termination current
versus nominal RIPRGM resistance as the center plot and
two theoretical limit plots indicating maximum and
minimum current versus nominal programming resistance. These plots are derived from models of the
expected worst-case contribution of error sources
depending on programmed current. The current range
includes the uncertainty due to a 1% tolerance resistor.
The dots on each plot indicate the currents obtained with
standard value 1% tolerance resistors. Figures 3a and 3b
show low and high resistance ranges, respectively.
Enable Input
The ENB pin is a tri-level logical input that allows selection of the following behaviors:

charging disabled (ENB = high range).

Applications Information (continued)
The GPIO port is configured as an input to select
mid-range.
ENB can also be permanently grounded to select lowrange or left unconnected to select mid-range if it will not
be necessary to change the level selection.
The equivalent circuit looking into the ENB pin is a variable resistance, minimum 15kΩ, to an approximately 1V
source. The input will float to mid range whenever the
external driver sinks or sources less than 5μA, a common
worst-case characteristic of a high impedance or a weak
pull-up or pull-down GPIO configured as an input. The
driving GPIO must be able to sink or source at least 75μA
to ensure a low or high state, respectively, although the
drive current is typically far less. (See the Electrical
Characteristics table.)
If the ENB input voltage is permitted to float to mid-range,
the charger is enabled but it will turn off its output following charge termination and will enter the monitor state.
This state is explained in the next section. Mid-range can
be selected either by floating the input (sourcing or
sinking less than 5μA) or by being externally forced such
that VENB falls within the midrange limits specified in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
When driven low (VENB < Max VIL), the charger is enabled
and will continue to float-charge the battery following
termination. If the charger is already in monitor state following a previous termination, it will exit the monitor state
and begin float-charging.
When ENB is driven high (VENB > Min VIH), the charger is
disabled and the ENB input pin enters a high impedance
state, suspending tri-level functionality. The specified
high level input current IIH is required only until a high
level is recognized by the SC810 internal logic. The trilevel float circuitry is then disabled and the ENB input
becomes high impedance. Once forced high, the ENB pin
will not float to mid range. To restore tri-level operation,
the ENB pin must first be pulled down to mid or low range
(at least to VENB < Max VIM), then, if desired, released (by
reconfiguring the GPIO as an input) to select mid-range. If
the ENB GPIO has a weak pull-down when configured as
an input, then it is unnecessary to drive ENB low to restore
tri-level operation; simply configure the GPIO as an input.
When the ENB selection changes from high-range to midor low-range, a new charge cycle begins and STATB goes
low.
Note that if a GPIO with a weak pull-up input configuration is used, its pull-up current will flow from the GPIO into
the ENB pin while it is floating to mid-range. Since the
GPIO is driving a 1V equivalent voltage source through a
resistance (looking into ENB), this current is small — possibly less than 1μA. Nevertheless, this current is drawn
from the GPIO peripheral power supply and, therefore,
from the battery after termination. (See the next section,
Monitor State.) For this reason, it is preferable that the
GPIO chosen to operate the ENB pin should provide a true
high impedance (CMOS) configuration or a weak pulldown when configured as an input. When pulled below
the float voltage, the ENB pin output current is sourced
from VIN, not from the battery.
Monitor State
If the ENB pin is floating, the charger output and STATB pin
will turn off and the device will enter the monitor state
when a charge cycle is complete. If the battery voltage
falls below the re-charge threshold (VCV - VReQ) while in the
monitor state, the charger will automatically initiate a recharge cycle. The battery leakage current during monitor
state is no more than 1μA over temperature and typically
less than 0.1μA at room temperature.
While in the monitor state, the ENB tri-level input pin
remains fully active, and although in midrange, is sensitive
to both high and low levels. The SC810 can be forced from
the monitor state (no float-charging) directly to floatcharging operation by driving ENB low. This operation will
turn on the charger output, but will not assert the STATB
output. If the ENB pin is again allowed to float to midrange, the charger will remain on only until the output
current becomes less than the termination current, and
charging terminates. The SC810 turns off its charging
output and returns to the monitor state within a millisecond. This forced re-charge behavior is useful for
periodically testing the battery state-of-charge and
topping-off the battery, without float-charging and
without requiring the battery to discharge to the automatic re-charge voltage. ENB should be held low for at
least 1ms to ensure a successful forced re-charge.

13
SC810
Applications Information (continued)
Forced re-charge can be requested at any time during the
charge cycle, or even with no charging source present,
with no detrimental effect on charger operation. This
allows the host processor to schedule a forced re-charge
at any desired interval, without regard to whether a charge
cycle is already in progress, or even whether a charging
source is present. Forced re-charge will neither assert nor
release the STATB output.
Status Output
The STATB pin is an open-drain output. It is asserted
(driven low) as charging begins after a valid charging
input is applied and the VIN voltage is greater than the
input UVLO level and less than the OVP level. STATB is also
asserted as charging begins after the ENB input returns to
either of the enable voltage ranges (mid or low voltage)
from the disable (high voltage) range. STATB is subsequently released when the termination current is reached
to indicate end-of-charge, when the ENB input is driven
high to disable charging, or when the input voltage is
removed. If the battery is already fully charged when a
charge cycle is initiated, STATB is asserted, and remains
asserted for approximately 750μs before being released.
The STATB pin is not asserted for automatic re-charge
cycles.
for a portion of the charge cycle, which increases charge
time.
In the SC810, a logical transition is implemented from CC
to CV to recover the charge current lost due to the soft
transition. The controller regulates only current until the
output voltage exceeds the transition threshold voltage.
It then switches to CV regulation. The transition voltage
from CC to CV regulation is typically 5mV higher than the
CV regulation voltage, which provides a sharp and clean
transition free of chatter between regulation modes. The
difference between the transition voltage and the regulation voltage is termed the CC/CV overshoot. While in CV
regulation, the output current sense remains active. If the
output current exceeds the programmed fast-charge
current by 5%, the controller rever ts to current
regulation.
The logical transition from CC to CV results in the fastest
possible charging cycle that is compliant with the specified current and voltage limits of the Li-ion cell. The output
current is constant at the CC limit, then decreases abruptly
when the output voltage steps from the overshoot voltage
to the regulation voltage at the transition to CV control.
Thermal Limiting
The STATB pin may be connected to an interrupt input to
notify a host controller of the charging status or it can be
used as an LED driver.
Logical CC-to-CV Transition
The SC810 differs from monolithic linear single cell Li-ion
chargers that implement a linear transition from CC to CV
regulation. The linear transition method uses two simultaneous feedback signals — output voltage and output
current — to the closed-loop controller. When the output
voltage is sufficiently below the CV regulation voltage, the
influence of the voltage feedback is negligible and the
output current is regulated to the desired current. As the
battery voltage approaches the CV regulation voltage
(4.2V), the voltage feedback signal begins to influence the
control loop, which causes the output current to decrease
although the output voltage has not reached 4.2V. The
output voltage limit dominates the controller when the
battery reaches 4.2V and eventually the controller is
entirely in CV regulation. The soft transition effectively
reduces the charge current below that which is permitted
Device thermal limiting is the third output constraint of
the Constant Current, Constant Voltage, “Constant”
Temperature (CC/CV/CT) control. This feature permits a
higher input OVP threshold, and thus the use of higher
voltage or poorly regulated adapters. If high input voltage
results in excessive power dissipation, the output current
is reduced to prevent overheating of the SC810. The
thermal limiting controller reduces the output current by
iT ≈ 50mA/ºC for any junction temperature TJ > T TL.
When thermal limiting is inactive,
TJ = TA + VΔ IFQ θJA,
where VΔ is the voltage difference between the VIN pin
and the BAT pin. However, if TJ computed this way exceeds
T TL, then thermal limiting will become active and the
thermal limiting regulation junction temperature will be
TJTL = TA + VΔ I(TJTL) θJA,

SC810

where
I(TJTL) = IFQ − iT (TJTL − T TL).
Combining these two equations and solving for TJTL, the
steady state junction temperature during active thermal
limiting is
TJTL
TA
V IFQ iT TTL
1 V iT JA
JA
Although the thermal limiting controller is able to reduce
output current to zero, this does not happen in practice.
Output current is reduced to I(TJTL), reducing power dissipation such that die temperature equilibrium TJTL is
reached.
While thermal limiting is active, all charger functions
remain active and the charger logical state is preserved.
Operating a Charging Adapter in Current Limit
In high charging current applications, charger power dissipation can be greatly reduced by operating the charging
adapter in current limit. The SC810 supports adaptercurrent-limited charging with a low UVLO falling threshold
and with internal circuitry designed for low input voltage
operation. To operate an adapter in current limit, RIPRGM is
chosen such that the programmed fast-charge current IFQ
exceeds the current limit of the charging adapter IAD-LIM.
Note that if IAD-LIM is less than 20% of IFQ, then the adapter
voltage can be pulled down to the battery voltage while
the battery voltage is below the pre-charge threshold. In
this case, care must be taken to ensure that the adapter
will maintain its current limit below 20% of IFQ at least until
the battery voltage exceeds the pre-charge threshold.
Failure to do so could permit charge current to exceed the
pre-charge current while the battery voltage is below the
pre-charge threshold. This is because the low input
voltage will also compress the pre-charge threshold internal reference voltage to below the battery voltage. This
will prematurely advance the charger logic from precharge current regulation to fast-charge regulation, and
the charge current will exceed the safe level recommended for pre-charge conditioning.
The low UVLO falling threshold ( VT UVLO-F) permits the
adapter voltage to be pulled down to just above the
battery voltage by the charging load whenever the
adapter current limit is less than the programmed fastcharge current. The SC810 should be operated with
adapter voltage below the rising selection threshold
(VT UVLO-R) only if the low input voltage is the result of
adapter current limiting. This implies that the VIN voltage
first exceeds VTUVLO-R to begin charging, and is subsequently
pulled down to just above the battery voltage by the
charging load.
Interaction of Thermal Limiting and Current Limited
Adapter Charging
To permit the charge current to be limited by the adapter,
it is necessary that the fast-charge current be programmed
greater than the maximum adapter current, (IAD-LIM). In this
configuration, the CC regulator will operate with its pass
device fully on (in saturation, also called “dropout”). The
voltage drop from VIN to BAT is determined by the product
of the minimum RDS-ON of the pass device multiplied by the
adapter supply current.
In dropout, the power dissipation in the SC810 is
PILIM = (minimum RDS-ON) x (IAD-LIM)2. Since minimum RDS-ON
does not vary with battery voltage, dropout power dissipation is constant throughout the CC portion of the
charge cycle while the adapter remains in current limit.
The SC810 junction temperature will rise above ambient
by PILIM x θJA. If the device temperature rises to the temperature at which the thermal limiting control loop limits
charging current (rather than the current being limited by
the adapter), the input voltage will rise to the adapter
regulation voltage. The power dissipation will increase so
that the thermal limit regulation will further limit charge
current. This will keep the adapter in voltage regulation
for the remainder of the charge cycle.
To ensure that the adapter remains in current limit, the
internal device temperature must never rise to T TL. This
implies that θJA must be kept small enough to ensure that
TJ = TA + (PILIM × θJA) < T TL.
Short Circuit Protection
The SC810 can tolerate a BAT pin short circuit to ground
indefinitely. The current into a ground short is approximately 10mA.

SC810
Applications Information (continued)
A short to ground on the IPRGM current programming pin
will prevent startup. During charging, a short to ground
applied to the IPRGM pin forces the SC810 into reset,
turning off the output and holding it off until the short is
removed. When the IPRGM short to ground is removed,
the charger begins normal operation automatically
without input power cycling.

voltage at the output.

Input Over-Voltage Protection
Operation Without a Battery
The VIN pin is protected from over-voltage to at least 30V
above GND. When the input voltage exceeds the OverVoltage Protection (OVP) rising threshold ( VTOVP-R ),
charging is halted. When the input voltage falls below the
OVP falling threshold (VTOVP-F), charging resumes. An OVP
fault turns off the STATB output. STATB is turned on again
when charging restarts.
The SC810 can be operated as a 4.2V LDO regulator
without the battery present, for example, factory testing.
If this use is anticipated, the output capacitance C BAT
should be at least 2.2μF to ensure stability. To operate the
charger without a battery, the ENB pin must be driven low
or grounded.
The OVP threshold has been set relatively high to permit
the use of poorly regulated adapters. Such adapters may
output a high voltage until loaded by the charger. A
too-low OVP threshold could prevent the charger from
ever turning on and loading the adapter to a lower voltage.
If the adapter voltage remains high despite the charging
load, the fast thermal limiting feature will immediately
reduce the charging current to prevent overheating of the
SC810. This behavior is illustrated in Figure 4, in which VBAT
= 3.0V, IFQ = 700mA, and VVIN is stepped from 0V to 8.1V.
Initially, power dissipation in the SC820 is 3.6W.
Notice the BAT output current is rapidly reduced to limit
the internal die temperature, then continues to decline as
the circuit board gradually heats up, further reducing the
conduction of heat from the die to the ambient environment. The fast thermal limiting feature ensures compliance
with CCSA YD/T 1591-2006, Telecommunication Industrial
Standard of the People’s Republic of China — Technical
Requirements and Test Method of Charger and Interface for
Mobile Telecommunication Terminal, Section 4.2.3.1.
Capacitor Selection
Low cost, low ESR ceramic capacitors such as the X5R and
X7R dielectric material types are recommended. The BAT
pin capacitor, CBAT, range is 1μF to 22μF. The VIN input
capacitors, C VIN is typically between 0.1μF and 2.2μF,
however a larger value will not degrade performance.
Capacitance must be evaluated at the expected bias
voltage, rather than the zero-volt capacitance rating.
PCB Layout Considerations
Layout for linear devices is not as critical as for a switching
regulator. However, careful attention to detail will ensure
reliable operation.

Dynamically Selectable Charge Current
The IPRGM resistance can be altered dynamically under
processor control by switching a second IPRGM pin resistor. When the higher current is required, the switch is
turned on, making the effective programming resistance
equal to the parallel combination of the two resistors. The

Note that the IPRGM pin resistor programs the fast-charge,

An open-drain GPIO can be used directly to engage the
parallel resistor RIPRGM_HI. Care must be taken to ensure that
the RDS-ON of the GPIO is considered in the selection of
RIPRGM_HI. Also important is the part-to-part and temperature variation of the GPIO RDS-ON, and their contribution to
the High Current charge current tolerance. Note also that
IPRGM will be pulled up briefly to as high as 3V during
startup to check for an IPRGM static pinshort to ground. A
small amount of current could, potentially, flow from
IPRGM into the GPIO ESD structure through RIPRGM_HI during
this event. While unlikely to do any harm, this effect must
also be considered.
