Stand-Alone, Switch-Mode
Li+ Battery Charger with Internal 28V Switch
The MAX1758 is a switch-mode lithium-ion (Li+) battery
charger that charges one-to-four cells. It provides a regulated charging current accurate to ±10% and a regulated voltage with only a ±0.8% total voltage error at the
battery terminals. The internal high-side switch delivers
a programmable current of up to 1.5A to charge the battery. The built-in safety timer automatically terminates
charging once the adjustable time limit has been
reached.
The MAX1758 regulates the voltage set point and
charging current using two loops that work together to
transition smoothly between voltage and current regulation. An additional control loop monitors the total current drawn from the input source (charging + system),
and automatically reduces battery-charging current,
preventing overload of the input supply and allowing
the use of a low-cost wall adapter.
The per-cell battery regulation voltage is set between
4.0V and 4.4V using standard 1% resistors. The number of cells is set from 1-to-4 by pin strapping. Battery
temperature is monitored by an external thermistor to
prevent charging outside the acceptable temperature
range.
The MAX1758 is available in a space-saving 28-pin
SSOP package. Use the MAX1758EVKIT to help reduce
design time. For a stand-alone charger with a 14V
switch, refer to the MAX1757 data sheet. For a charger
controller capable of up to 4A charging current, refer to
the MAX1737 data sheet.

When VISETOUT = 0, battery charger turns off.
See Thermistor section.
Below this threshold, charger reverts to a prequalification mode with IBATT reduced to 10% of full scale.
Above this threshold, charger is disabled.
After full-charge state is complete and peak inductor current falls below this threshold, FULLCHG output switches high.
Battery charging continues until top-off timeout occurs. See Table 1.
Note 6: After charging is complete, when BATT voltage falls below this threshold, a new charging cycle is initiated.
Note 7: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

Detailed Description
The MAX1758 includes all of the functions necessary to
charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 Li+ battery cells in series. It
includes a step-down DC-DC converter that controls
charging voltage and current. It also includes input
source current limiting, battery temperature monitoring,
battery undervoltage precharging, battery fault indication, and a state machine with timers for charge termination.
The DC-DC converter uses an internal power MOSFET
switch to convert the input voltage to the charging current or voltage. Figure 1 shows the typical application
circuit. Figure 2 shows a typical charging sequence and
Figure 3 shows the functional diagram. The charging
current is set by the voltage at ISETOUT. The battery
voltage is measured at the BATT pin. The battery regulation voltage limit is set to 4.2V per cell and can be
adjusted ±5% by changing the voltage at the VADJ pin.
By limiting the adjust range, the voltage limit accuracy is
better than 1% while using 1% setting resistors.

In the fast-charge state, the FASTCHG output goes low
and the batteries charge with a constant current (see
Charging Current Regulator section). If the battery voltage reaches the voltage limit before the fast timer
expires, the part enters the full-charge state. If the fastcharge timer expires before the voltage limit is
reached, charging terminates and the FAULT output
goes low. The fast-charge time limit is set by the
TIMER2 capacitor (CTIMER2). If the battery temperature
is outside the limits, charging pauses and the timers
are suspended until the temperature returns to within
the limits.
In the full-charge state, the FULLCHG output goes low
and the batteries charge at a constant voltage (see the
Voltage Regulation section). When the charging current
drops below 150mA (330mA peak inductor current), or
if the full-charge timer expires, the state machine enters
the top-off state. In the top-off state, the batteries continue to charge at a constant voltage until the top-off
timer expires when it enters the done state. In the done
state, charging stops until the battery voltage drops
below the recharge-voltage threshold when it enters the
reset state to start the charging process again. In the
full-charge or the top-off state, if the battery temperature is outside the limits, charging pauses and the
timers are suspended until the battery temperature
returns to within limits.
Voltage Regulator
Li+ batteries require a high-accuracy voltage limit while
charging. The MAX1758 uses a high-accuracy voltage
regulator (±0.8%) to limit the charging voltage. The battery regulation voltage is nominally set to 4.2V per cell
and can be adjusted ±5% by changing the voltage at

The MAX1758 includes a state machine that controls
the charging algorithm. Figure 4 shows the state diagram. Table 1 is the charging state table. When power
is applied, or SHDN input is driven high, the part goes
into the reset state where the timers are reset to zero to
prepare for charging. From the reset state, it enters the
prequalification state. In this state, 1/10 of the fastcharge current charges the battery, and the battery
temperature and voltage are measured. If the voltage is
above the undervoltage threshold and the temperature
is within the limits, then it will enter the fast-charge
state. If the battery voltage does not rise above the
undervoltage threshold before the prequalification timer
expires, the charging terminates and the FAULT output
goes low. The prequalification time is set by the
TIMER1 capacitor (CTIMER1). If the battery is outside
the temperature limits, charging and the timer are suspended. Once the temperature is back within limits,
charging and the timer resume.

By limiting the adjust range of the regulation voltage, an
overall voltage accuracy of better than 1% is maintained while using 1% resistors. CELL sets the cell
count from 1-to-4 series cells (see Setting the Battery
Regulation Voltage section).
An internal error amplifier (GMV) maintains voltage regulation (Figure 3). The GMV amplifier is compensated
at CCV. The component values shown in Figure 1 provide suitable performance for most applications.
Individual compensation of the voltage regulation and
current regulation loops allows for optimum stability.
Charging Current Regulator
The charging current-limit regulator limits the charging
current. Current is sensed by measuring the voltage
across the internal current-sense resistor RCS between
BATT and CS. The voltage at ISETOUT adjusts the
charging current. Full-scale charging current is
achieved when ISETOUT is connected to REF.
The charging current error amplifier (GMI) is compensated at CCI. A 0.1µF capacitor at CCI provides suitable performance for most applications.

Input Current Regulator
The total input current (from a wall cube or other DC
source) is the sum of system load current plus the battery-charging current. The input current regulator limits
the source current by reducing charging current when
input current exceeds the set input current limit. System
current will normally fluctuate as portions of the system
are powered up or put to sleep. Without input current
regulation, the input source must be able to supply the
12
maximum system load current plus the maximum
charger input current. By using the input current limiter,
the current capability of the AC wall adapter may be
lowered, reducing system cost.
Input current is measured through an external sense
resistor at CSSP and CSSN. The voltage at ISETIN also
adjusts the input current limit. Full-scale input current is
achieved when ISETIN is connected to REF, setting the
full-scale current-sense regulation voltage to 100mV.

When the current-sense resistor is chosen, note that the
voltage drop across this resistor adds to the power
loss, reducing efficiency. Reducing the voltage across
the current-sense resistor may degrade input current
limit accuracy due to the input offset of the input current-sense amplifier.
The input current error amplifier (GMS) is compensated
at CCS. A 0.1µF capacitor at CCS provides suitable
performance for most applications.
An internal clamp limits the noncontrolling signals to
within 200mV of the controlling signal to prevent delay
when switching between regulation loops.
The current mode PWM controller measures the inductor current to regulate the output voltage or current,
simplifying stabilization of the regulation loops.
Separate compensation of the regulation circuits allows
each to be optimally stabilized. Internal slope compensation is included, ensuring stable operation over a
wide range of duty cycles.
PWM Controller
The controller drives an internal N-channel MOSFET
switch to step the input voltage down to the battery
voltage. The high-side MOSFET gate is driven to a voltage higher than the input source voltage by a bootstrap
The PWM controller drives the internal high-side MOSFET to control charging current or voltage. The input to
the PWM controller is the lowest of CCI, CCV, or CCS.

capacitor. This capacitor (between BST and LX) is
charged through a diode from VL when LX is low. An
internal N-channel MOSFET turns on momentarily after
the high-side switch turns off, pulling LX to PGND to
ensure that the bootstrap capacitor charges. The highside MOSFET gate is driven from BST, supplying sufficient voltage to fully drive the MOSFET gate even when
its source is near the input voltage.
Timers
The MAX1758 includes safety timers to terminate
charging and to ensure that faulty batteries are not
charged indefinitely. TIMER1 and TIMER2 set the timeout periods.
TIMER1 controls the maximum prequalification time,
maximum full-charge time, and the top-off time. TIMER2
controls the maximum fast-charge time. The timers are
set by external capacitors. The typical times of 7.5 minutes for prequalification, 90 minutes for full charge, 45
minutes for top-off, and 90 minutes for fast charge are
set by using a 1nF capacitor on TIMER1 and TIMER2
(Figure 1).
Charge Monitoring Outputs
FASTCHG, FULLCHG, and FAULT are open-drain outputs that can be used as LED drivers. FASTCHG indicates the battery is being fast charged. FULLCHG
indicates the charger has completed the fast-charge
cycle (approximately 85% charge) and is operating in
voltage mode. The FASTCHG and FULLCHG outputs
can be tied together to indicate charging or done
(Figure 2). FAULT indicates the charger has detected a
charging fault and that charging has terminated. The
charger can be brought out of the FAULT condition
only by removing and reapplying the input power, or by
pulling SHDN low.
Thermistor
The intent of THM is to inhibit charging when the battery is too cold or too hot (+2.5°C ≤ TOK ≤ +47.5°C),
using an external thermistor. THM time multiplexes two
sense currents to test for both hot and cold qualification. The thermistor should be 10kΩ at +25°C and have
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC); the THM pin
expects 3.97kΩ at +47.5°C and 28.7kΩ at +2.5°C.
Connect the thermistor between THM and GND. If no
temperature qualification is desired, replace the thermistor with a 10kΩ resistor. Thermistors by Philips/BC
components (2322-640-63103), Cornerstone Sensors
(T101D103-CA), and Fenwall Electronics (140-103LAGRB1) work well. The battery temperature is measured at
a 1.12Hz rate (CTIMER1 = CTIMER2 = 1nF). Charging
pauses briefly to allow accurate measurement.

If the temperature goes out of limits while charging is in
progress, charging will be suspended until the temperature returns to within the limits. While charging is suspended, the timers will also be suspended but will
continue counting from where they left off when charging resumes.
Shutdown
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX1758 enters the
shutdown mode and charging is stopped. In shutdown,
the internal resistive voltage-divider is removed from
BATT to reduce the current drain on the battery to less
than 5µA. The high-side power MOSFET switch is off.
However, the internal linear regulator (VLO) and the reference (REF) remain on. Status outputs FASTCHG,
FULLCHG, and FAULT are high impedance. When exiting the shutdown mode, the MAX1758 goes to the
power-on reset state, which resets the timers and
begins a new charge cycle.
Source Undervoltage Shutdown (Dropout)
If the voltage on DCIN drops within 100mV of the voltage on BATT, the charger turns off. This prevents battery discharge by the charger during low input voltage
conditions.
Design Procedure
Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage
VADJ sets the per-cell voltage limit. To set the VADJ
voltage, use a voltage-divider from REF to VADJ. A
GND-to-VREF change at VADJ results in a ±5% change
in the battery limit voltage. Since the full VADJ range
results in only a 10% change on the battery regulation
voltage, the resistor-divider’s accuracy need not be as
high as the output-voltage accuracy. Using 1% resistors for the voltage dividers results in no more than
0.1% degradation in output-voltage accuracy. VADJ is
internally buffered so that high-value resistors can be
used. Set VVADJ by choosing a value less than 100kΩ
for R5 (Figure 1) from VADJ to GND. The per-cell battery termination voltage is a function of the battery
chemistry and construction; thus, consult the battery
manufacturer to determine this voltage. Once the per-

DC charging current (LIR) can be used to calculate the
optimal inductor value:
VVADJ = (9.5 VBATTR / N) - (9.0 x VREF)
CELL is the programming input for selecting cell count
N. Table 2 shows how CELL is connected to charge 1,
2, 3, or 4 cells.
Setting the Charging Current Limit
L =
 VISETOUT 
ICHG = 1.5A 

 VREF 
Connect ISETOUT to REF to get the full-scale current
limit.
Setting the Input Current limit
A resistor-divider from REF to GND sets the voltage at
ISETIN (VISETIN). This sets the maximum source current
allowed at any time during charging. The source current IFSS is set by the current-sense resistor RSOURCE
between CSSP and CSSN. The full-scale source current
is IFSS = 0.1V / R1 (Figure 1).
The input current limit (IIN) is therefore:
V

IIN = IFSS  ISETIN 
 VREF 
Connect ISETIN to REF to get the full-scale input current limit. Short CSSP and CSSN if the input source current limit is not used.
In choosing the current-sense resistor, note that the drop
across this resistor adds to the power loss and thus
reduces efficiency. However, too low a resistor value
may degrade input current-limit accuracy.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value may be changed for more or less
ripple current. The higher the inductance, the lower the
ripple current will be; however, as the physical size is
kept the same, typically, higher inductance will result in
higher series resistance and lower saturation current. A
good tradeoff is to choose the inductor so that the ripple current is approximately 30% to 50% of the DC
average charging current. The ratio of ripple current to

The peak inductor current is given by:
A resistor-divider from REF to GND sets the voltage at
ISETOUT (VISETOUT). This determines the charging current during the current-regulation (fast-charge) mode.
The full-scale charging current is 1.5A.
The charging current (ICHG) is, therefore:
(
VBATT VDCIN(MAX) − VBATT
LIR 

I PEAK = I ISETOUT1 +


2 
Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor shunts the switching current from
the charger input and prevents that current from circulating through the source, typically an AC wall cube.
Thus, the input capacitor must be able to handle the
input RMS current. Typically, at high charging currents,
the converter will operate in continuous conduction (the
inductor current does not go to 0). In this case, the
RMS current of the input capacitor may be approximated by the equation:
ICIN ≅ ICHG
D − D2
where:
ICIN is the input capacitor RMS current.
D is the PWM converter duty ratio (typically VBATT /
VDCIN).
ICHG is the battery charging current.
The maximum RMS input current occurs at 50% duty
cycle; thus, the worst-case input ripple current is 0.5 x
ICHG. If the input-to-output voltage ratio is such that the
PWM controller will never work at 50% duty cycle, then
the worst-case capacitor current will occur where the
duty cycle is nearest 50%.
The input capacitor impedance is critical to preventing
AC currents from flowing back into the wall cube. This
requirement varies depending on the wall cube impedance and the requirements of any conducted or radiated EMI specifications that must be met. Aluminum
electrolytic capacitors are generally the cheapest, but
usually are a poor choice for portable devices due to
their large size and poor equivalent series resistance
(ESR). Tantalum capacitors are better in most cases, as
are high-value ceramic capacitors. For equivalent size
and voltage rating, tantalum capacitors will have higher
capacitance, but also higher ESR than ceramic capacitors. This makes consideration of RMS current and power

dissipation ratings more critical when using tantalum
capacitors.
The output filter capacitor is used to absorb the inductor ripple current. The output capacitor impedance
must be significantly less than that of the battery to
ensure that it will absorb the ripple current. Both the
capacitance and ESR rating of the capacitor are important for its effectiveness as a filter and to ensure stability of the PWM circuit. The minimum output capacitance
for stability is:

where:
COUT is the total output capacitance.
VREF is the reference voltage (4.2V).
V BATT is the maximum battery regulation voltage
(typically 4.2V per cell).
VDCIN (MIN) is the minimum source input voltage.
The maximum output capacitor ESR required for stability is:
RESR <
RCS x VBATT
VREF
where:
RESR is the output capacitor ESR.
RCS is the current-sense resistor from CS to BATT
(100mΩ typ).
Compensation
Each of the three regulation loops—the input current
limit, the charging current limit, and the charging voltage limit—can be compensated separately at the CCS,
CCI, and CCV pins, respectively.
The charge-current loop error amp output is brought
out at CCI. Likewise, the source-current error amplifier
output is brought out at CCS. The current loops in most
charger designs can be compensated by 0.1µF capacitors to ground at CCI and CCS. Raising the value of
these capacitors reduces the bandwidth of these loops.
The voltage-regulating loop error amp output is brought
out at CCV. Compensate this loop by connecting a
capacitor in parallel with a series resistor-capacitor (RC)
from CCV to GND. Recommended values are shown in
Figure 1.
Applications Information
Diode Selection
A Schottky rectifier with a rating of at least 1.5A must
be connected from LX to PGND.
VL and REF Bypassing
The MAX1758 uses an internal linear regulator to drop
the input voltage down to 5.4V, which powers the internal circuitry. The output of the linear regulator is the VL
pin. The internal linear regulator may also be used to
power external circuitry as long as the maximum current of the linear regulator is not exceeded.
A 4.7µF bypass capacitor is required at VL to ensure that
the regulator is stable. A 1µF bypass capacitor is also
required between REF and GND to ensure that the internal 4.2V reference is stable. In both cases, use a low-ESR
ceramic capacitor.
Setting the Timers
The MAX1758 contains four timers: a prequalification
timer, fast-charge timer, full-charge timer, and top-off
timer. Connecting a capacitor from TIMER1 to GND
and TIMER2 to GND sets the timer periods. The
TIMER1 input controls the prequalification, full-charge,
and top-off times, while TIMER2 controls the fastcharge timeout. The typical timeouts for a 1C charge
rate are set to 7.5 minutes for the prequalification timer,
90 minutes for the fast-charge timer, 90 minutes for the
full-charge timer, and 45 minutes for the top-off timer by
connecting 1nF capacitors to TIMER1 and TIMER2.
Each timer period is directly proportional to the capacitance at the corresponding pin (see Typical Operating
Characteristics).
