RT9941
Power Management ICs for Handheld Device
General Description
Features
The RT9941 is a complete power management IC (PMIC)
for handheld device platform. This PMIC contains a fully
integrated linear charger for a single cell Lithium Ion battery,
five LDO linear regulators and two high efficiency buck
converters, a comparator, a reset and an I2C serial interface
z
The linear charger integrates LDO, MOSFET pass element
and thermal-regulation circuitry. The proprietary thermalregulation circuitry limits the die temperature when fast
charging or while exposed to high ambient temperatures,
allowing maximum charging current without damaging the
IC.
z
z
The LDO linear regulators provide high power supply
rejection rate and have only 45μVRMS of output noises for
100Hz to 10kHz frequency range to power noise sensitive
RF sections.
The RT9941 is available in WQFN-40L 5x5 package.

The two step-down converters are optimized for small size
inductor and high efficiency applications. They utilize a
proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that switches
with nearly fixed frequency and is adjustable, allowing the
customer to trade some efficiency for smaller external
component as desired.

Application Information
I2C Start and Stop Conditions
Both DATA and CLK remain high when the bus is not busy. A high-to-low transition of DATA, while CLK is high is defined
as the Start condition. A low-to-high transition of the data line while CLK is high is defined as the Stop condition.
I2C Acknowledge
The number of data bytes between the start and stop conditions for the Transmitter and Receiver are unlimited. Each 8bit byte is followed by an Acknowledge Bit. The Acknowledge Bit is a high level signal put on DATA by the transmitter
during which time the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed
must generate an Acknowledge after each byte it receives. Also a master receiver must generate an Acknowledge after
each byte it receives that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that Acknowledges must pull down the DATA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the DATA line
is stable low during the high period of the Acknowledge clock pulse (set-up and hold times must also be met). A master
receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an acknowledge signal on the last byte that has
been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the transmitter must leave DATA high to enable the master to generate a stop
condition.
I2C System Configuration
A device on the I2C Bus which generates a “message” is called a “Transmitter” and a device that receives the message
is a “Receiver”. The device that controls the message is the “Master” and the devices that are controlled by the
“Master” are called “Slaves”.

Power Sequence
If the PWR_IN and VSYS pin voltages are below the internal UVLO threshold, all IC blocks are disabled and the RT9941
is not operational. When an external power source or battery with voltage greater than the UVLO voltage threshold is
applied to VSYS pins, the internal RT9941 references are powered up and biasing internal circuits. When all the main
internal supply rails are active, the RT9941 I2C registers are set to the power-up default values.
If a power good fault is not present at the end of the power good check mode and then NORMAL mode starts. In this mode
of operation, the I2C registers define the RT9941 operation, and must be able to handle all issues regarding power on/off
the handheld device. The PWR_ON and PWR_HOLD pins determine the power on/off status of the handset.
Logic high on PWR_ON pin is the normal way of powering up a handset. The PWR_ON signal is held high for at least 320
ms; Buck1, 2 and LDO1, 3 are turned on; when Buck2 reaches 87% of its final value, a 200ms reset timer is started at
after which nRESET is asserted high, and then the handheld device processor is initialized and will assert PWR_HOLD
high to maintain power on. This wrap around constitutes the PWR_ON button can be released (return to low state) and the
power remains on. If, however, PWR_ON is released before the PWR_HOLD signal is asserted, then Buck1, 2 and LDO1,
3 will be turned off. All output could be turned off by the processor asserting PWR_HOLD low, if PWR_ON = Low.
The RT9941's default power output voltages for SiRF TitanII and A4 platform are listed in Table 4 as following :

Sleep Mode
The external host can set the RT9941 in sleep mode using the GPIO configuration. In the sleep mode, change the
PWR_EN signal to set different output on/off status :
1. Buck2 and LDO2 will be disabled when the PWR_EN is turned off to enter the sleep mode.
2. When the PWR_EN is turned on, the Buck2 and LDO2 are enabled and the reset signal from the RT9941 remains high.
Deep Sleep Mode
In Deep Sleep Mode, an I2C register is used to control the RT9941 to turn off specific power output. To enter deep sleep
mode operation, the RT9941 is needed to set I2C register bits, both DS_RDY = 1 and PWR_DS = 1. After the RT9941
receiving the command by I2C interface , It will just remain Buck1 turn on and all the other power output will be turned off,
The RT9941 output reset signal will be driven to low state to processor. If the PWR_ON signal is set to high again, the
RT9941 output will be waken up and recovered to the previous state. For recording this deep sleep mode wake up
situation, the PWR_DS = 0 and DS_RDY keep high must be made to acknowledge the processor (Figure 8).

Interrupt Mode
The RT9941 interruption controller monitors multiple system status parameters and signals to the host when one of the
monitored parameters toggled, as a result of system status change. If the external interrupt event happened, the internal
interrupt flag of the RT9941 will be triggered. The interrupt flag with no mask will set the nINT to low state. The host
processor receivers the active low signal and then try to read the interrupt register by I2C interface. The interrupt controller

PWR_ON & HP_PWR & nPBSTAS
Connecting external signal such as head phone can start up the power sequence of power management circuit. When the
RT9941 detects a HP_PWR rising edge signal and generates a over 320ms pulse. All RT9941 output will be turned on
even the without recognizing PWR_ON signal. The handheld device processor is initialized and will assert PWR_HOLD to
high to maintain the RT9941 power remains on. This power on behavior is same as PWR_ON signal asserted. nPBSTAS
signal is an inverter of PWR_ON with 320ms de-bounced to inform SOC or uP that power on button has been pressed.

Buck Converters
The RT9941 step-down converters are optimized for high efficiency over a wide load range, small external component
size, low output ripple, and excellent transient response. The DC/DC converters also feature an optimized on-resistance
internal MOSFET switch and synchronous rectifier to maximize the efficiency and minimize the external components.
The RT9941 utilizes a proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that switches with nearly fixed frequency, allowing the
customer to trade some efficiency for smaller external component, as desired. If one buck converter is not used, please
make LX = open, FB = IN, and PGND = GND.

Setting the Output Voltage
Select an output voltage between 0.6V and 2.5V by connecting FB to a resistive voltage divider between LX and GND.
Choose R2 for a reasonable bias current in the resistive divider. A wide range of resistor values is acceptable, but a good
starting point is to choose R2 as 100kΩ. Then, R1 is given by :
(
)
VOUT = R1 + 1 × VFB1 , where VFB1 is the feedback reference voltage (0.6V typ.)

Inductor Selection
The RT9941 step-down converters operate with inductors of 1μH to 4.7μH. Low inductance values are physically smaller
but require faster switching, which results in some efficiency loss. The inductor's DC current rating only needs to match
the maximum load current of the application because the RT9941 step-down converters feature zero current overshoot
during startup and load transients. The recommended inductor is 2.2μH. For optimum voltage positioning load transients,
choose an inductor with DC series resistance in the 50mΩ to 150mΩ range. For higher efficiency at heavy loads (above
200mA) or minimal load regulation (but some transient overshoot), the resistance should be kept below 100mΩ. For light
load applications up to 200mA, much higher resistance is acceptable with very little impact on performance.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor, COUT, is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure the regulation loop stability.
COUT must have low impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric are highly
recommended due to their characteristics of small size, low ESR, and small temperature coefficients. Due to the unique
feedback network, the output capacitance can be very low. For most applications, a 4.7μF capacitor is sufficient.
Feedforward Capacitor Selection
The feedforward capacitor, CFF, sets the feedback loop response, controls the switching frequency, and is critical in
obtaining the best efficiency possible. Choose a small ceramic X7R capacitor with value given by :
CFF = L × 10
R1
Select the closest standard value to CFF as possible.
Charger
The RT9941 has an integrated charger with power path integrated MOSFETs. This topology, shown in the simplified block
diagram (Figure 13), enables the goal of using an external input power to run the system and charge the battery. The
power path has single inputs that can be used to select either an external AC_DC adapter or USB port by PWR_ID pin and
different charging current by limitation. The RT9941 connects the end equipment main power rail and charges the battery
pack by the BATT pin.

Figure 13. Charger Block Diagram and Required External Components
The RT9941 charger uses current, voltage, and thermal control loops to charge and protect a single Li+ battery cell. One
enable input PWR_ID pin is supplied to set charging current limits. During pre-charge and fast-charge phases, the charger
output status is pulled low. As the battery voltage approaches 4.2V, the charging current is reduced. When the charging
current drops below 10% of charging current setting and the battery voltage equals 4.2V, the nCHG_S output pin goes
high impedance, signaling a full battery and set the internal I2C register bit CHG DONE. If the charger done is not masked,
the interrupt flag will be trigged. At any time during charging, if the RT9941 internal I2C register bit, Charger ON/OFF, is
clear. Then the charger enters suspend mode, charging stops, and nCHG_S goes high impedance.
Battery Charge Management Function
The RT9941 supports charging of single-cell Li-Ion battery packs. The charge process is executed in three phases: precharge (or preconditioning), constant current and constant voltage. A typical charge profile and flow chart are shown in

Power-Path Management
The power path and charge management block operate independently of the other RT9941 circuits. Internal circuits
check battery parameters (pack temperature, battery voltage and charge current) and system parameters, setting the
power path MOSFETs operating modes automatically. The RT9941 has integrated comparators that monitor the battery
voltage, Power input pin voltage and the SYS pin voltage. The data generated by those comparators is used by the power
path control logic to define which of the integrated power path switches is active.
A typical auto power path management profile is shown in Figure 16 & 17.

Figure 17. Power Path Management Flow Chart
The RT9941 powers the system while independently charging the battery. This feature reduces the charge and discharge
cycles on the battery, allows for proper charge termination, and allows the system to run with an absent or defective
battery pack. This feature gives the system priority on input power, allowing the system to power up with a deeply
discharged battery pack. This feature works as follows:
Case 1: AC Mode (PWR_ID = LOW)
In this case, the system load is powered directly from the AC adapter through the internal transistor Q1 (Figure 18). The
output SYS is regulated at 5.0 V. If the system load exceeds the capacity of the supply, the output voltage drops down
to the battery's voltage.
When in AC mode, the battery is charged through the switch Q2 based on the charge rate set on the ISETA input pin. This
feature monitors the output voltage (system voltage) for input power loss due to brown outs, current limiting, or removal
of the input supply. If the voltage on the VSYS pin drops to a preset value(4.2V) due to a limited amount of input current,
then the battery charging current is reduced until the VSYS stops dropping. If the system continues increasing load to
exceed the AC adapter capacity, the battery will start to discharge to VSYS.

Case 2: USB Mode (PWR_ID = High)
In this case, the system load is powered from a USB port through the internal switch Q1 (Figure 19). Note that in this
case, Q1 regulates the total current to the 450mA level as selected on the input. The output, SYS, is regulated to 5V. The
system's power management is responsible for keeping its system load below the USB current. Otherwise, the output
drops (VSYS) to the battery voltage; therefore, the system should have a low-power mode for USB power application.

Charge-Current Selection
When powered from a USB port, the input current is available to 0.5 A. For AC-Adapter input applications (PWR_ID = Low)
requiring a different current requirement, set the charging current with an external resistor (RSET) from ISETA to GND.
Calculate charge current as follows :
Charge Current = 2.5/ RSET(kΩ) x 600 (mA)
The RT9941 offers ISETA pin to determine the AC charge rate from 100mA to 1A.
Charge-Status Output
nCHG_S is an open-drain output that indicates charger status and can be used with an external LED. nCHG_S goes low
during charging. When VBAT equals 4.2V and the charging current drops below 10% of the setting charge current,
nCHG_S goes high impedance and the RT9941 internal I2C register bit CHG DONE will be set. Connect a pull-up resistor
between nCHG_S and VSYS to indicate charge status.
Soft-Start
To prevent input transients, the change rate of the charge current is limited when the charger is turned on or changes its
current compliance. It takes approximately 1ms for the charger to go from 0mA to the maximum fast-charge current.
Temperature Monitoring
The RT9941 monitors the battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS and GND pins. The RT9941 has
an internal current source to provide the bias for most common 10kΩ negative-temperature thermistor (NTC) with the
battery.

With Divider
The RT9941 compares the voltage on the TS pin against the internal VTS thresholds to determine if charging is allowed.
When the temperature outside the VTS thresholds is detected, the device immediately stops the charger. Charging is
resumed when the VTS is recovered to the operation range. However, the user may modify thresholds by adding external
resistors to change biasing voltage.
Timer
As a safety mechanism, the charger has a user programmable timer that monitors the pre-charge and fast charge time.
This timer (charge safety timer) is started at the beginning of the pre-charge and fast charge period. The safety charge
timeout value is set by the value of an external capacitor connected to the TIMR pin (CTIMR), if pin TIMR is short to GND,
the charge safety timer is disabled.
As CTIMR = 0.1μF, TFAULT is CTIMR (F) x 1.97 x 1011 secs = 19700 secs and TPRECH = TFAULT /8
As timer fault, re-plug-in power or I2C ON/OFF charger again can release the fault condition.
SYS Output
The RT9941 contains a SYS output which can be regulated up to 5V. Bypass SYS to GND with a 22μF or larger ceramic
capacitor to improve the transient droops. When charging a battery, the load on SYS is serviced first and the remaining
available current goes to charge the battery.
Battery PRE-CHARGE
During a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below the VPRECH threshold and the RT9941 applies a pre-charge mode to
the battery. This feature revives deeply discharged cells and protects battery life. The RT9941 internally determines the
pre-charge rate as 10% of the fast charge current.
Thermal Regulation
The RT9941 features a thermal limit that reduces the charge current when the die temperature exceeds +125°C. As the
temperature increases, the RT9941 features a junction temperature regulation loop. If the power dissipation of the IC
results in a junction temperature greater than the thermal regulation threshold (125°C), the RT9941 throttles back on the
charge current in order to maintain a junction temperature around the thermal regulation threshold (125°C). The RT9941
monitors the junction temperature, TJ, of the die and disconnects the battery from the input if TJ exceeds 125°C. This
operation continues until junction temperature falls below the thermal regulation threshold (125°C) by the hysteresis
level. This feature prevents the maximum power dissipation from exceeding typical design conditions.

DS9941-01 April 2011
RT9941
Capacitor Selection
Connect a ceramic capacitor from PWR_IN to GND as close to the IC as possible for proper stability. For most applications,
connect a 4.7μF ceramic capacitor from IN to GND as close to the IC as possible.
Linear Regulators
The RT9941 offers five Integrated Linear Regulators, designed to be stable over the operating load range with the use of
external ceramic capacitors.
All the LDO have an ON/OFF control which can be set by I2C commands and have integrated switches that discharge
each output to ground when the LDO is turned off. The LDO 1, 3 will be turn on in the first time of PWR_ON button be
pressed and LDO2 will be turned on when PWR_EN = 1. LDO 4, 5 need to be turned on/off by I2C command. The LDO4,5
also support four voltage setting by I2C control. LDO1 and LDO2 voltages are set by the S1, S2 pin, see Table 3.
Low-Battery Detector
nLBO is an open-drain output that typically connects to the BATT FAULT input of the processor to indicate the battery has
been removed or discharged. nLBO is typically pulled up to VSYS. LBI monitors the input voltage (usually connect to
VSYS) and triggers the nLBO output (Figure 22). nLBO is high impedance when the voltage from LBI exceeds the battery
rising threshold VLBITH =1.05V (typ.). nLBO is low when the voltage from LBI falls below the low-battery falling threshold
VLBITH =1V (typ) (Figure 23). Connecting LBI to two-resistor voltage divider to detect the external resistor embedded in
a battery pack and is also used as a pack ID function. When system first power up or back from deep sleep mode , LBI
will check the VSYS voltage. If VSYS voltage is lower than setting voltage, system will not power up or wake up. If the
low-battery-detector feature is not required, connect nLBO to ground and connect LBI to SYS.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation
depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference
between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula :
PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) - TA ) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the
junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification of RT9941, where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of
the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout
dependent. For WQFN-40L 5x5 packages, the thermal resistance θJA is 36°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 four layers
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula :
PD(MAX) = ( 125°C - 25°C) / (36°C/W) = 2.778W for WQFN-40L 5x5 packages

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ (MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT9941 packages, the Figure 24 of

rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
allowed.

Layout Considerations
For the best performance of the RT9941, the following PCB
Layout guidelines must be strictly followed.
` Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible
to the input and output pins.
` Keep the main power traces as possible as wide and
short.
Four Layers PCB
` To minimize EMI, the switching area connected to LX
inductor should be smallest possible.
` Place the feedback components as close as possible to
the FB pin and keep these components away from the
noisy devices. Also, the feed forward capacitor CFF trace
is sensitive to the magnetic field that the inductor
generates. Please keep the CFF trace away from the
inductor and use a via and run the trace between ground
layers.
