The bq2000T detects the battery chemistry and proceeds with the optimal charging and termination algorithms. This process eliminates undesirable undercharged or overcharged conditions and allows accurate and safe termination of fast charge. For safety, the bq2000T inhibits fast charge until the battery voltage and temperature are within user-defined limits. If the battery voltage is below the low-voltage threshold, the bq2000T uses trickle-charge to condition the battery. For NiMH batteries, the bq2000T provides an optional top-off charge to maximize the battery capacity. The integrated high-frequency comparator allows the bq2000T to be the basis for a complete, high-efficiency power-conversion circuit for both nickel-based and lithium-based chemistries. Depending on the chemistry, the bq2000T provides a number of charge termination criteria: n n Rate of temperature rise, ∆Τ/∆t (for NiCd and NiMH) Minimum charging current (for Li-Ion) n Maximum temperature n Maximum charge time Pin Names Pin Connections SNS 1 8 MOD VSS 2 7 VCC LED 3 6 RC BAT 4 5 TS SNS Current-sense input TS Temperature-sense input VSS System ground RC LED Charge-status output Timer-program input VCC BAT Battery-voltage input Supply-voltage input MOD Modulation-control output 8-Pin DIP or Narrow SOIC or TSSOP PN-2000.eps SLUS149B–FEBRUARY 2001 1 bq2000T RC Pin Descriptions SNS RC input used to program the maximum charge-time, hold-off period, and trickle rate during the charge cycle, and to disable or enable top-off charge Current-sense input Enables the bq2000T to sense the battery current via the voltage developed on this pin by an external sense-resistor connected in series with the battery pack VSS System Ground LED Charge-status output Supply-voltage input MOD Modulation-control output Functional Description Battery-voltage input The bq2000T is a versatile, multi-chemistry batterycharge control device.

State Diagram 3 bq2000T charge begins when the battery temperature and voltage are valid. Initiation and Charge Qualification The bq2000T initiates a charge cycle when it detects n Application of power to VCC n Battery replacement n Exit from sleep mode n Capacity depletion (Li-Ion only) Battery Chemistry The bq2000T detects the battery chemistry by monitoring the battery-voltage profile during fast charge. If the voltage on BAT input rises to the internal VMCV reference, the IC assumes a Li-Ion battery. Otherwise the bq2000T assumes NiCd/NiMH chemistry. As shown in Figure 6, a resistor voltage-divider between the battery pack’s positive terminal and VSS scales the battery voltage measured at pin BAT. In a mixed-chemistry design, a common voltage-divider is used as long as the maximum charge voltage of the nickel-based pack is below that of the Li-Ion pack. Otherwise, different scaling is required. Immediately following initiation, the IC enters a charge-qualification mode. The bq2000T charge qualification is based on batter y voltage and temperature. If voltage on pin BAT is less than the internal threshold, VLBAT , the bq2000T enters the charge-pending state. This condition indicates the possiblility of a defective or shorted battery pack. In an attempt to revive a fully depleted pack, the bq2000T enables the MOD pin to trickle-charge at a rate of once every 1.0s. As explained in the section “Top-Off and Pulse-Trickle Charge,” the trickle pulse-width is user-selectable and is set by the value of the resistance connected to pin RC. Once the chemistry is determined, the bq2000T completes the fast charge with the appropriate charge algorithm (Table 1). The user can customize the algorithm by programming the device using an external resistor and a capacitor connected to the RC pin, as discussed in later sections. During this period, the LED pin blinks at a 1Hz rate, indicating the pending status of the charger. NiCd and NiMH Batteries Following qualification, the bq2000T fast-charges NiCd or NiMH batteries using a current-limited algorithm. During the fast-charge period, it monitors charge time, temperature, and voltage for adherence to the termination criteria. This monitoring is further Similarly, the bq2000T suspends fast charge if the battery temperature is outside the VLTF to VHTF range. (See Table 4.) For safety reasons, however, it disables t h e p ul s e t r i c k l e , i n t h e c a s e o f a b att er y over-temperature condition (i.e., VTS < VHTF).

For Li-Ion cells, the bq2000T resets the MTO when the battery reaches the constant-voltage phase of the charge. This feature provides the additional charge time required for Li-Ion cells. Lithium-Ion Batteries Maximum Temperature (NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion) The bq2000T uses a two-phase fast-charge algorithm for Li-Ion batteries (Figure 3). In phase one, the bq2000T regulates constant current until VBAT rises to VMCV. The bq2000T then moves to phase two, regulates the battery with constant voltage of VMCV, and terminates when the charging current falls below the IMIN threshold. A new charge cycle is started if the cell voltage falls below the VRCH threshold. A negative-coefficient thermistor, referenced to VSS and placed in thermal contact with the battery, may be used as a temperature-sensing device. Figure 5 shows a typical temperature-sensing circuit. During fast charge, the bq2000T compares the battery temperature to an internal high-temperature cutoff threshold, VTCO. As shown in Table 4, high-temperature termination occurs when voltage at pin TS is less than this threshold. During the current-regulation phase, the bq2000T monitors charge time, battery temperature, and battery voltage for adherence to the termination criteria. During the final constant-voltage stage, in addition to the charge time and temperature, it monitors the charge current as a termination criterion. There is no post-charge maintenance mode for Li-Ion batteries. ∆T/∆t (NiCd, NiMH) When fast charging, the bq2000T monitors the voltage at pin TS for rate of temperature change detection, ∆T/∆t. The bq2000T samples the voltage at the TS pin every 16s and compares it to the value measured 2 samples earlier. This feature terminates fast charge if this voltage declines at a rate of Charge Termination Maximum Charge Time (NiCD, NiMH, and Li-Ion) VCC V 161 Min The bq2000T sets the maximum charge-time through pin RC. With the proper selection of external resistor and capacitor, various time- out values may be achieved. Figure 4 shows a typical connection. Figure 5 shows a typical connection diagram. Minimum Current (Li-Ion Only) The following equation shows the relationship between the RMTO and CMTO values and the maximum charge time (MTO) for the bq2000T: The bq2000T monitors the charging current during the voltage-regulation phase of Li-Ion batteries. Fast charge is terminated when the current is tapered off to 7% of the maximum charging current. Please note that this threshold is different for the bq2000. MTO = RMTO ∗ CMTO ∗ 35,988 MTO is measured in minutes, RMTO in ohms, and CMTO in farads.

Battery Voltage Divider 6 bq2000T During top-off and trickle-charge, the bq2000T monitors battery voltage and temperature. These functions are suspended if the battery voltage rises above the maximum cell voltage (VMCV) or if the temperature exceeds the high-temperature fault threshold (VHTF). The values of the external resistor and capacitor connected to pin RC set the initial hold-off period. During this period, the bq2000T avoids early termination by disabling the ∆T/∆t feature. This period is fixed at the programmed value of the maximum charge time divided by 32. hold-off period = maximum time - out 32 Charge Current Control The bq2000T controls the charge current through the MOD output pin. The current-control circuit s u p p or ts a s w i tc h i n g - c u r r en t r egu l ator w i t h frequencies up to 500kHz. The bq2000T monitors charge current at the SNS input by the voltage drop across a sense-resistor, R SNS , in series with the batter y pack. See Figure 9 for a typical current-sensing circuit. R SNS is sized to provide the desired fast-charge current (IMAX): Top-Off and Pulse-Trickle Charge An optional top-off charge is available for NiCd or NiMH batteries. Top-off may be desirable on batteries that have a tendency to terminate charge before reaching full capacity. To enable this option, the capacitance value of CMTO connected to pin RC (Figure 4) should be greater than 0.13µF, and the value of the resistor connected to this pin should be less than 15kΩ. To disable top-off, the capacitance value should be less than 0.07µF. The tolerance of the capacitor needs to be taken into account in component selection. IMAX = 0.05 RSNS If the voltage at the SNS pin is greater than VSNSLO or less than V SNSHI , the bq2000T switches the MOD output high to pass charge current to the battery. When the SNS voltage is less than VSNSLO or greater than VSNSHI, the bq2000T switches the MOD output low to shut off charging current to the battery. Figure 8 shows a typical multi-chemistry charge circuit. Once enabled, the top-off is performed over a period equal to the maximum charge time at a rate of 116 that of fast charge. Following top-off, the bq2000T trickle-charges the battery by enabling the MOD to charge at a rate of once every 1.0 second. The trickle pulse-width is user-selectable and is set by the value of the resistor RMTO, which is on pin RC. Figure 7 shows the relationship between the trickle pulse-width and the value of RMTO. The typical tolerance of the pulsewidth below 150kΩ is ±10%.

Otherwise, different scaling is required. RB1 VCELL −1 = N ∗ RB2 VMCV Temperature Monitoring where N is the number of cells in series and VCELL is the manufacturer-specified charging voltage. The end-to-end input impedance of this resistive divider network should be at least 200kΩ and no more than 1MΩ. The bq2000T measures the temperature by the voltage at the TS pin. This voltage is typically generated by a negative-temperature-coefficient thermistor. The bq2000T compares this voltage against its internal threshold voltages to determine if charging is safe. A NiCd or NiMH battery pack consisting of N series-cells may benefit by the selection of the RB1 value to be N-1 times larger than the RB2 value. Table 3.

These thresholds are the following: n n n High-temperature cutoff voltage: VTCO = 0.225 ∗ VCC This voltage corresponds to the maximum temperature (TCO) at which fast charging is allowed. The bq2000T terminates fast charge if the voltage on pin TS falls below VTCO. Charge Status Display The charge status is indicated by open-drain output LED. Table 5 summarizes the display output of the bq2000T. High-temperature fault voltage: VHTF = 0.25 ∗ VCC This voltage corresponds to the temperature (HTF) at which fast charging is allowed to begin. Low-temperature fault voltage: VLTF = 0.5 ∗ VCC This voltage corresponds to the minimum temperature (LTF) at which fast charging or top-off is allowed. If the voltage on pin TS rises above VLTF, the bq2000T suspends fast charge or Table 5.
