19-1465; Rev 2; 12/03 Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector The MAX1666 protects the battery pack in an overcurrent condition by disconnecting the pack from the load at a programmable limit. On-chip power MOSFET drivers control external P-channel MOSFETs to disconnect the cells from external terminals when faults occur. The MAX1666 employs a unique timing scheme that allows three modes of operation for optimal performance and battery power conservation. The MAX1666 can operate in a stand-alone configuration or in conjunction with a microcontroller. It is available in four versions: the S version monitors two Li+ cells, the A and V versions monitor three cells, and the X version monitors four cells. When the charge path is disabled by the charge control pin, the MAX1666A reduces current consumption compared to the MAX1666S/V/X.

Using an External Resistor-Divider to Adjust Overvoltage Threshold Detailed Description The MAX1666 battery-pack protectors supervise the charging and discharging processes of Li+ battery cells. Designed for 2-, 3-, and 4-cell applications, these devices monitor the voltage across each cell to provide protection against undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent damage. Control pins CGO, TKO, and DSO allow control of external MOSFET gates. This allows fast charging, trickle charging, and discharging processes (see the Typical Operating Circuits). The voltage of each cell is measured individually. Also, each cell is measured differentially between every other cell of the pack. The MAX1666 contains a state machine, a voltage regulator, an oscillator, and other logic functions to selectively drive CGO, UVO, TKO, DSO, WRN, and PKF (Figure 1). Modes of Operation Within the 2.5ms, the MAX1666 checks for overvoltage, undervoltage, and mismatch between cells sequentially, and it stores the results in internal latches. The MAX1666 drives the outputs according to the faults (if any) detected by reading the latches (Figure 2) at the end of the sample state. Then the MAX1666 returns to the standby state. Overvoltage Protection The MAX1666 provides overvoltage protection to avoid overcharging of any cell. When any cell is at overvoltage, CGO and TKO go high, turning off the external MOSFETs and stopping the charging process (see the Typical Operating Circuits). WRN goes low. Overvoltage is set when any cell voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold. Overvoltage threshold is linearly adjustable through an external 1% resistor-divider (Figure 3) from REF. Determine the overvoltage threshold (VOVT) required. VOVT must be between 4V and 4.4V. Set RTOTAL = R1 + R2 = 1MΩ. Calculate R1 and R2 as follows: Shutdown Mode The MAX1666 goes into shutdown mode when a battery pack is first connected. The quiescent current is less than 1µA. All circuitry is inactive except the com- R2 = [(VOVT - 4V) / (4.4V- 4V)] · RTOTAL R1 = RTOTAL - R2 Table 1. Operating Modes MODE STATE TIME (ms) TYPICAL QUIESCENT CURRENT (µA) Standby 80 24 Only bias circuitry, overcurrent comparator, and timer are active. Sample 2.5 250 All circuitry active. — — 0.7 All circuitry inactive. Device enters shutdown when it detects an undervoltage fault and VSRC < VTOP-CELL + 1V (no charge source). CONDITION Normal Shutdown ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX1666A/S/V/X parator monitoring VSRC and the top-cell voltage. The MAX1666 remains in shutdown mode as long as VSRC is less than the top-cell voltage. When SRC is connected to an external charger and VSRC is 1V above the top-cell voltage, the device goes into standby mode. The MAX1666 returns to shutdown mode under two conditions: the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, or the device detects an undervoltage fault and no charge source. REF MAX1666A/S/V/X Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector threshold (VUVT) accuracy including the internal undervoltage-threshold accuracy (±2.5%) is ±3.2%. B4P I4 + V4 - ICB = V4 R Undervoltage Warning When any cell drops to 100mV above the undervoltage threshold, WRN goes low. WRN returns high when all cells are 300mV above the undervoltage threshold.

Cell Voltage Sampling Maximum mismatch of 1% external resistor-dividers is ±2%. The external adjusted overvoltage-threshold accuracy includes the internal overvoltage-threshold accuracy (±0.5%) and the error due to the external resistor-divider multiplied by maximum adjustment: ±2% 4.4V − 4.0V 4.4V Maximum mismatch of a 1% external resistor-divider is ±2%. The total external adjusted cell-mismatch threshold accuracy, including the internal cell-mismatch threshold accuracy (±10%), is ±12%. Cell Voltage Sampling = ± 0.2% The total external adjusted overvoltage-threshold (VOVT) accuracy is ±0.7%. Undervoltage Protection The MAX1666 provides undervoltage protection to avoid overdischarging the cells. When any cell is under voltage, UVO, DSO, and CGO go high, turning off the external charging and discharging MOSFETs. TKO remains low to keep the trickle-charge current on. Undervoltage threshold is linearly adjustable through an external resistor-divider (Figure 3) from REF. Determine the undervoltage threshold (VUVT) required. VUVT must be between 2V and 3V. Set RTOTAL = R3 + R4 = 1MΩ. Calculate R3 and R4 as follows: R4 = [(VUVT - 2V) / (3V - 2V)] RTOTAL R3 = RTOTAL - R4 Maximum mismatch of 1% external resistor-dividers is ±2.0%, and the error due to the external resistor-divider multiplied by maximum adjustment is ±2% (3V - 2V) / 3V = ±0.7%. The total external adjusted undervoltage- 12 The MAX1666 disables charging or discharging when mismatch occurs. When any two cells are mismatched, TKO, CGO, UVO, and DSO go high, turning off the external MOSFETs. PKF goes low. PKF has a strong pulldown current (>4mA), and can be used to control an external thermal fuse. The cell-mismatch threshold is linearly adjustable through an external resistor-divider (Figure 3) from REF. Determine the cell-mismatch threshold (VCMT) required. VCMT has to be between 0 and 500mV. Set RTOTAL = R5 + R6 = 1MΩ. Calculate R5 and R6: The MAX1666 does not introduce cell mismatch. When the battery cells are matched, the MAX1666 draws close to zero current from the intermediate cells.

V4 / R I1 = I2 + V1 / R - V4 / R = I4 + (V3 - V4) / R + (V2 - V4) / R + (V1 - V4) / R = (V4 + V3 + V2 + V1) / R when V1 = V2 = V3 = V4, I1P = I2P = I3P = 0, and I1 = I2 = I3 = I4 = 4V4 / R ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MMF 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 CGI 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 DSI CONTROL INPUTS OVF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 OCC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 ODC H H H H H H H H H PS L H H L PS L H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H PS L H PS L H H H H H PS L H H L PS L DSO H H H H H H H H H H H PS L PS L L H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H PS L PS L L H H H H H H H H H H H L L L L L H H H H H H H H H H L L H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H L L L L L TKO L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L H H H H H H H H H H H H WRN L L L L L L L L H H H H H H H H L L L L L L L L H H H H L L L L H H H H H H L L L L H H H H H H H H PKF CONTROL OUTPUTS CGO H H H H H H H H L L L L L L L L H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H L L L L L L H H H H L L L L L L L L UVO UVF: Undervoltage fault ODC: Overdischarge current fault UVW: Undervoltage fault early warning OCC: Overcharge current fault NOTES Undervoltage fault early warning, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge path Undervoltage fault early warning, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault Undervoltage fault early warning, mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, mismatch fault, disable charge path Undervoltage fault early warning, mismatch fault, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, mismatch fault Undervoltage fault early warning, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, disable charge path, overdischarge current fault Undervoltage fault early warning, disable charge path Undervoltage fault early warning, disable discharge path, overcharge current fault Undervoltage fault early warning, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault early warning, overcharge current fault Undervoltage fault early warning, overdischarge current fault Undervoltage fault early warning Undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge path Undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault, mismatch fault Undervoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge path Undervoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault, mismatch fault Undervoltage fault, disable charge and discharge path Undervoltage fault, disable charge path Undervoltage fault, disable discharge path Undervoltage fault Overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable charge path Overvoltage fault, mismatch fault, disable discharge path Overvoltage fault, mismatch fault Overvoltage fault, disable charge and discharge path Overvoltage fault, disable charge path, overdischarge current fault Overvoltage fault, disable charge path Overvoltage fault, disable discharge path Overvoltage fault, overdischarge current fault Overvoltage fault Mismatch fault, disable charge and discharge path Mismatch fault, disable charge path Mismatch fault, disable discharge path Mismatch fault Disable charge and discharge path Disable charge path, overdischarge current fault Disable charge path Disable discharge path, overcharge current fault Disable discharge path Overcharge current fault Overdischarge current fault Normal operation OVF: Overvoltage fault CGI: Charge control input MMF: Mismatch fault DSI: Discharge control input PS: Overcurrent fault pulse sampling. (Output goes high for 500ms then resets low to monitor charge/discharge current. Output goes high again if fault persists.) UVF UVW MAX1666A/S/V/X Table 2. Truth Table Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector 13 MAX1666A/S/V/X Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector Overcharge/Overdischarge Current Protection The MAX1666 checks for overcharge or overdischarge current in standby and sample states. The thresholds are factory preset to 200mV and 300mV, respectively. A charge current makes PKN go below GND. A discharge current makes PKN go above GND. When PKN exceeds the threshold, a fault is acknowledged. CGO goes high when the overcharge threshold is exceeded. DSO goes high when the overdischarge threshold is exceeded. An internal 550ms timer starts. At the end of 550ms, DSO or CGO goes low while the MAX1666 rechecks for an overcharge/overdischarge fault. A persistent fault causes DSO and CGO to return high and restarts the 550ms timer again. Truth Table Table 3. MOSFET Selection P-CHANNEL MOSFETs MAXIMUM DRAIN CURRENT (A) IRF7404 5.3 IRF7406 4.7 Si4431 4.5 Si4947 (dual) 2.5 EA CGO controls the MOSFET for normal charging of the battery. TKO controls the MOSFET for trickle charge of the cells. DSO controls the discharging MOSFET. Use different MOSFETs to optimize each function depending on the maximum charge and discharge rates. Table 3 lists some suitable MOSFETs in a small 8-pin SO package. The MAX1666 has a total of eight signal inputs and six outputs. Table 2 lists all the possible states. Layout Considerations and Bypassing Applications Information As with all PC board designs, a careful layout is suggested. Minimize lead lengths to reduce losses in the traces. Choosing an External MOSFET The external P-channel MOSFETs act as a gated switch to enable or disable the charging/discharging process. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector OVERDISCHARGE PROTECTION PACK+ P 1 470kΩ 470kΩ SRC 2 VCC DSO 19 P 4 CGO P OVERCHARGE PROTECTION 3 TRICKLE CHARGE 270Ω DSI CGI TKO WRN 5 6 8 9 UVO 14 20 18 B2P 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% MAX1666X GND PKN 10 RSENSE 0.05Ω 12 PKF B3P B1P 0.47µF 13 B4P REF 7 11 +3.3V 5mA 17 OVA 16 UVA 15 MMA PACK- ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX1666A/S/V/X Typical Operating Circuits Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector MAX1666A/S/V/X Typical Operating Circuits (continued) OVERDISCHARGE PROTECTION PACK+ P 470kΩ 470kΩ 1 SRC 2 VCC DSO 19 P 1µF 4 CGO P TRICKLE CHARGE 270Ω OVERCHARGE PROTECTION 3 DSI CGI TKO WRN 5 6 8 9 100kΩ 220kΩ VCC OUT1 11 OUT2 14 IN1 IN2 PKF UVO B3P 20 IN3 18 B2P B1P 100kΩ 12 13 B4P REF 7 PACK CONTROLLER 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% MAX1666X GND GND 17 16 UVA 15 MMA OVA PKN 10 RSENSE 0.05Ω +3.3V 5mA 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% 499kΩ 1% PACK- ___________________Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 4835 16 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery-Pack Protector QSOP.EPS Maxim cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry other than circuitry entirely embodied in a Maxim product.
