The SMB137B is a programmable single-cell lithium-ion/lithiumpolymer battery charger designed for a variety of portable applications.
The device provides a simple and efficient way to charge high-capacity
Li-Ion batteries via a USB or AC adapter input. Unlike conventional
charging devices, the SMB137B’s high-efficiency switch-mode
operation eliminates the low charge current and thermal problems of
conventional linear solutions. In addition, the switching architecture in
conjunction with programmability enables dramatically faster charging
– TurboCharge™ mode - from current limited in puts such as USB.
The SMB137B can switch between USB mode and AC Adapter mode
and works seamlessly in conjunction with a USB controller. Also the
SMB137B can manage two outputs independently: battery charging
and system power. This allows immediate system operation even
under missing/deeply discharged battery conditions. Also in the case of
a low battery and insufficient/missing input supply the SMB137B can
run its switching regulator in reverse to support “Low Battery Recovery”
mode (+4.17V @ 500mA) or USB “On the Go” power (+5V @ 500mA).
Charge control includes input current limit (supporting USB2.0), trickle
charge, pre-charge, constant current/constant voltage, float voltage
and termination/safety settings that are fully programmable via a serial
2
I C/SMBus and stored in non-volatile memory making the device truly
2
a flexible solution. Fast charge current level can be set via I C (limited
by the input current settings). An Enable (EN) pin is also provided for
suspending charging and/or sleep mode. Built-in reverse-current
blocking prevents inadvertent cell discharge.
The SMB137B also offers a wide variety of features that protect the
battery pack as well as the charger and input circuitry: over-current,
under/over-voltage, safety timers and thermal protection. Accurate
1.0% battery float voltage control ensures complete charging and
improves battery capacity utilization. Status can be monitored via the
serial port for charge state and fault conditions. In addition, the STAT
output can be used to signal charge status. Operating voltage is
specified from +4.35V to +6.0V with +18V non-operating input
tolerance. The SMB137B is available in an ultra-compact CSP-30
package and is rated over the –30C to +85C temperature range.
