The bq2000T chooses the proper battery chemistry (either nickel or lithium) 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. Depending on the chemistry, the bq2000T provides a number of charge termination criteria: • Rate of temperature rise (ΔT/Δt) (for NiCd and NiMH) • Minimum charge current (for Li-Ion) • Maximum temperature • Maximum charge time 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-speed comparator allows the bq2000T to be the basis for a complete, high-efficiency battery charger circuit for both nickel-based and lithium-based chemistries. 8-Pin DIP or Narrow SOIC or TSSOP spacer between para and illustration Pin Names SNS Current-sense input SNS 1 8 MOD VSS System ground VSS 2 7 VCC LED Charge-status output BAT Battery-voltage input LED 3 6 RC TS Temperature-sense input BAT 4 5 TS RC Timer-program input VCC Supply-voltage input MOD Modulation-control output 1 Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

The bq2000T charge qualification is based on battery voltage and temperature. If the voltage on the BAT pin is less than the internal threshold, VLBAT, the bq2000T enters the battery conditioning state. This condition indicates the possibility 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 Maintenance Charge," the trickle pulse-width is user-selectable and is set by the value of the resistance connected between the RC pin and VSS. During charge qualification, the LED pin blinks at a 1-Hz rate, indicating the pending status of the charger. Once battery conditioning (trickle charge) has raised the voltage on the BAT pin above VLBAT, the IC enters fast charge, if the battery temperature is within the VLTF to VHTF range. The bq2000T stays in the battery conditioning state indefinitely and does not progress to fast charge until the voltage on the BAT pin is above VLBAT and the temperature is within the VLTF and VHTF range. No timer is implemented during battery conditioning. Battery Chemistry The bq2000T detects the battery chemistry by monitoring the battery-voltage profile during the initial stage of the fast charge. If the voltage on the BAT pin rises to the internal VMCV reference, the IC assumes a Li-Ion battery. Otherwise, the bq2000T assumes a NiCd/NiMH chemistry. While in the fast charge state, the LED pin is pulled low (the LED is on). As shown in Figure 3, a resistor voltage-divider between the battery pack's positive terminal and VSS scales the battery voltage. A low-pass filter then smooths out this voltage to present a clean signal to the BAT pin. 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. BAT+ 2 VSS bq2000T 4 RB1 BAT RB2 Figure 3. Battery Voltage Divider and Filter 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. NiCd and NiMH Batteries Following charge qualification (which includes trickle charge, if required), 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 explained in later sections. Following fast charge, the battery is topped off, if top-off is selected. The charging cycle ends with a trickle maintenance-charge that continues as long as the voltage on the BAT pin remains below VMCV. 6 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 1999–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): bq2000T bq2000T www.ti.com SLUS149D – MAY 1999 – REVISED JANUARY 2010 Lithium-Ion Batteries The bq2000T uses a two-phase fast-charge algorithm for Li-Ion batteries (Figure 4). In phase one, the bq2000T regulates constant current until VBAT rises to VMCV. Once VBAT = VMCV, the device identifies the cell as a Li-ion, and changes the termination method from ΔT/Δt to minimum current. 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 or the timer expires (whichever happens first). A new charge cycle is started if the cell voltage falls below the VRCH threshold. Current IMAX Charge Qualification VMCV Voltage Fast Charge Phase 1 VLBAT Phase 2 Current IMIN Voltage Trickle Time Figure 4. Lithium-Ion Charge Algorithm 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. Table 1 summarizes the charging process for both Nickel and Li-Ion batteries. Table 1.

The values of the external resistor and capacitor connected to the RC pin set the initial hold-off period. During this period, the bq2000T avoids early termination due to an initial rise in the battery temperature by disabling the rate of temperature rise (ΔT/Δt) feature. This period is fixed at the programmed value of the maximum charge time (MTO) divided by 32. MTO hold-off period = 32 (1) Maximum Charge Time (NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion) The bq2000T sets the maximum charge-time through the RC pin. With the proper selection of external resistor and capacitor values, various time-out values may be achieved. If the timer expires while still in constant-current charging, the bq2000T assumes a Nickel chemistry and proceeds to top-off charge (if top-off is enabled) or trickle maintenance charge. Figure 5 shows a typical connection. 2 VSS VCC 7 bq2000T CMTO RC 6 RMTO Figure 5. Typical Connection for the RC Input The following equation shows the relationship between the RMTO and CMTO values and the maximum charge time (MTO) for the bq2000T: MTO = RMTO ´ CMTO ´ 35,988 (2) MTO is measured in minutes, RMTO in ohms, and CMTO in farads. (Note: RMTO and CMTO values also determine other features of the device. See Table 4 and Table 5 for details.) If, during fast charge, VTS > VLTF, then the timer is paused and the IC enters battery conditioning charge until VTS < VLTF. Since the IC is in the battery conditioning state, the LED flashes at the 1 Hz rate. Once VTS< VLTF, fast charge restarts and the timer resumes from where it left off with no change in total fast charge time. For Li-Ion cells, when the battery reaches the constant-voltage phase of fast charge, the bq2000T adds an additional MTO of time to whatever time was left over from the constant current fast charge timer. Thus, the pack could spend longer than 1 MTO in constant-voltage fast charge, but is always limited to 1 MTO in constant-current fast charge. This feature provides the additional charge time required for Li-Ion cells. For Nickel cells, if top-off is enabled, the timer is reset on the completion of fast charge before beginning top-off charge. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 1999–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): bq2000T bq2000T www.ti.com SLUS149D – MAY 1999 – REVISED JANUARY 2010 Maximum Temperature (NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion) A negative-coefficient thermistor, referenced to VSS and placed in thermal contact with the battery, may be used as a temperature-sensing device. Figure 6 shows a typical temperature-sensing circuit. VCC 2 VCC 7 VSS RT1 bq2000T TS 5 RT2 N Battery T Pack C Figure 6. Temperature Monitoring Configuration During fast charge, the bq2000T compares the battery temperature to an internal high-temperature cutoff threshold, VTCO, and a low-temperature threshold, VLTF. During fast charge only, the VHTF fault comparator is disabled. When the voltage at the TS pin is lower than VTCO, the bq2000T terminates fast charge, moves to the charge suspended state, and turns off the LED. When VTS rises above VHTF, the bq2000T resumes charging in the trickle maintenance charge state, per Figure 2. In fast charge (either constant current or constant voltage fast charge), when the voltage on the TS pin is higher than VLTF, the charger enters the battery conditioning state, as described in the previous section. Fast charge is resumed when VTS is less than VLTF. Rate of Temperature Rise (NiCd, NiMH) The bq2000T uses a rate of temperature rise (ΔT/Δt) scheme to terminate fast charge for NiCd and NiMH batteries. During fast charge, it samples the TS pin voltage every 8 seconds and compares it to the value measured 2 samples earlier. This feature terminates fast charge if this voltage declines at a rate of VCC/161 (V/min). Figure 6 shows a typical connection diagram. In preparation for sampling the TS pin voltage, the bq2000T briefly turns off most circuits (the MOD and RC pins both go low) in order to get the cleanest possible, noise-free measurement. While the monitoring of the TS pin voltage is continuous, the sampling of the TS pin voltage with the internal ADC only occurs during the constant current regulation phase of fast charge. If the cell voltage reaches VMCV, the pack is assumed to be Li-Ion and the TS pin voltage sampling is disabled, as ΔT/Δt is not a termination criterion for Lithium cells. Minimum Current (Li-Ion Only) 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. Note that this threshold is different for the bq2000. Once constant-current fast charge has ended, the bq2000T either measures the value of the CMTO capacitor (in the case of Nickel batteries) and then proceeds to either top-off or trickle maintenance charge or simply completes the constant-voltage stage of fast charge (in the case of a Li-Ion cell). Top-Off and Pulse-Trickle Maintenance 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 between the RC pin and VCC (Figure 5) should be greater than 0.13 µF , and the value of the resistor connected to this pin should be less than 250 kΩ . To disable top-off, the capacitance value should be less than 0.07 µF. The tolerance of the capacitor needs to be taken into account in component selection.

During top-off, current is delivered to the battery in pulses that occur each second. The fixed pulse width allows an average current of 1/16 of the fast charge current to be delivered to the battery every second. The LED is always off during top-off and trickle maintenance charge. During top-off, there are three different temperature faults that can occur. If VTS > VLTF, top-off is suspended, the timer is paused, and trickle charge is started. When VTS falls below VLTF, top-off is resumed. If VTS < VHTF, all charging stops, but the timer keeps counting. When VTS > VHTF, top-off is resumed, if there is still time remaining on the timer. If there is not time left, trickle maintenance charge is entered. If VTS < VTCO, all charging stops. Only trickle maintenance charge may resume after VTS > VHTF. Pulsewidth - ms Following top-off, the bq2000T trickle-charges the battery by enabling the MOD pin 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, connected between the RC pin and VSS. Figure 7 shows the relationship between the trickle pulse-width and the value of RMTO. The typical tolerance of the pulsewidth below 150 kΩ is ±10%. 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 4 3 2 1 Shows Tolerance 2 4 6 8 10 50 100 RMTO - kW 150 200 250 Figure 7. Relationship Between Trickle Pulse-Width and Value of RMTO Note that with an RMTO value around 150 kΩ, the trickle charge pulse width is nearly identical to the top-off pulse width of 62.5 ms (1/16 of a second for a 1A fast charge current). With RMTO values near 150 kΩ, it can be difficult to tell which state the IC is in (top-off or trickle charge). The best way to tell if the bq2000T is in top-off or trickle charge is to look at the RC pin when the temperature is between the LTF and HTF. In top-off, the RC pin is counting and has a sawtooth waveform on it. In trickle charge, there is no timer and the RC pin is at a DC value. The RC pin contains valuable information in determining what state the bq2000T is in, since it always operates in one of three modes. If the RC pin is low (around VSS potential), the IC is in sleep mode. (If the RC pin is low for brief instants during fast charge, the bq2000T is sampling the TS pin for ΔT/Δt). If the RC pin is at some DC value (usually around 1 V to 2 V), then the IC has paused the timer or the timer is inactive. If the RC pin is a sawtooth waveform (similar to Figure 15), then the timer is running and the RC pin is considered “active.” Lastly, the RC pin can be loaded by too large of a C or too small of an R. This sometimes makes the usual sawtooth waveform look like a triangle waveform on an oscilloscope (the rise time is lengthened), or the RC signal could have the appearance of being clipped (flat top or bottom). The timer is unreliable under these conditions and the bq2000T should not be operated in this manner. Table 2 summarizes the different states of the RC pin. Table 2.

During trickle maintenance charge, charging is suspended if VTS < VHTF. It resumes when VTS > VHTF. The bq2000T is designed to remain in trickle maintenance charge forever (excluding the two faults just mentioned) in order to keep a Nickel pack full. Charge Current Control The bq2000T implements a hysteretic control loop that regulates the current being delivered to the battery pack to a user programmable value that is set by the value of the RSNS resistor. A second, outer control loop reduces the average current delivered to the pack in order to clamp the voltage at the BAT pin to a maximum of VMCV. The bq2000T controls the MOD pin to regulate the current and voltage of the pack. The bq2000T monitors charge current at the SNS input by sensing the voltage drop across a sense-resistor, RSNS, in series with the battery pack. See Figure 8 for a typical current-sensing circuit.

Current-Sensing Circuit RSNS is sized to provide the desired fast-charge current (IMAX). 0.05 IMAX = RSNS (3) If the voltage at the SNS pin is greater than VSNSLO or less than VSNSHI, 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. A hysteresis capacitor (CHYS) is required between the CMOD pin and the SNS pin to add a healthy amount of hysteresis to the current sense signal. Typical hysteresis values are between 5 mV and 25 mV. The amount of hysteresis can be calculated by examining the capacitive divider formed by CHYS and Cf. CHYS Hysteresis (V) = VCC ´ (C HYS + Cf ) (4) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 1999–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): bq2000T 11 bq2000T SLUS149D – MAY 1999 – REVISED JANUARY 2010 www.ti.com Being a hysteretic controller, the switching frequency of the bq2000T is determined by the values of several of the external circuit components. The components that affect the switching frequency are: input voltage, RSNS value, inductor value, hysteresis capacitor value (CHYS), and the value of the filter on the current sense signal (Rf and Cf values). Rf and Cf have the most impact on the switching frequency and are also the components that are easiest to change to adjust the frequency, as they do not affect anything else in the circuit (besides, of course, the cleanliness and quality of the current sense signal being fed to the bq2000T). In general, increasing the input voltage and/or inductor value or decreasing CHYS and/or the Rf × Cf filter corner frequency increases the switching frequency. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show empirical data on the variation in switching frequency based on adjusting Rf and Cf. This data was taken with an input voltage of 12 V, inductor value of 220 µH, RSNS value of 50 mΩ, and CHYS value of 4.7 pF.

For Li-Ion battery packs, the resistor values RB1 and RB2 are calculated by the following equation: RB1 RB2 æ V = ç N ´ CELL VMCV è ö ÷ -1 ø (5) where N is the number of cells in series and VCELL is the manufacturer-specified charging voltage. RB1 + RB2 should be at least 200 kΩ and no more than 1 MΩ. 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. This sets the per cell regulation voltage (VCELL) equal to VMCV. It is critical that VCELL be set high enough that the nickel pack not reach voltage regulation, thus allowing proper termination by ΔT/Δt. The typical VCELL setting for a nickel pack is between 1.7 V and 2 V. 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. See Figure 11 for an example.

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. These thresholds are the following: • High-temperature cutoff voltage: VTCO = 0.225 × VCC . This voltage corresponds to the maximum temperature (TCO) at which any charging is allowed. The bq2000T terminates charging if the voltage on the TS pin falls below VTCO. • High-temperature fault voltage: VHTF = 0.25 × VCC . This voltage corresponds to a maximum allowed pack temperature (HTF) in all states except for fast charge. During fast charge, HTF faults are disabled to allow for a normal increase in pack temperature. • 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 the TS pin rises above VLTF, the bq2000T suspends either fast charge or top-off and begins a trickle charge. When the voltage falls back below VLTF, fast charge or top-off resumes from the point where suspended. If VTS > VLTF, the charger is always in trickle charge. Table 3 summarizes these various conditions. Table 3.

Charge Status Display The charge status is indicated by open-drain output LED. Table 6 summarizes the display output of the bq2000T. A temperature fault or timer expiring changes the charge state immediately (according to Figure 2) and thus changes the LED status immediately and accordingly. Table 6. Charge Status Display bq2000T CHARGE STATE LED STATUS Charge qualification (including battery conditioning and charge suspended) 1-Hz flash Fast charge (current and voltage regulation) Low Top-off charge Trickle maintenance charge (after fast charge) Charge complete High impedance Battery absent Sleep mode Sleep Mode The bq2000T features a sleep mode for low power consumption. This mode is enabled when the voltage at the BAT pin is above the low-power-mode threshold, VSLP. During sleep mode, the bq2000T shuts down all unnecessary internal circuits, drives the LED output to high-impedance state, and drives the MOD pin low. Restoring BAT below the VMCV threshold initiates the IC and starts a fast-charge cycle. Normally, the bq2000T only enters sleep mode when there is no battery connected on the output and the charger is idling with nothing to charge. In addition, VIN needs to be high enough such that when VIN is present on the output, VBAT would be greater than VSLP. In sleep mode, the output voltage decays to VMCV at which point the bq2000T turns on and pulses the MOD pin several times. With no battery connected, the output rises to near VIN at which point the bq2000T re-enters sleep mode. During sleep mode, the RC pin is at VSS potential. A typical sleep mode waveform is shown in Figure 18.
