Applications Information (continued)

of-charge, when the ENB input is driven high to disable

charging, or when neither charging input is selected and

valid to charge. If the battery is already fully charged

when a charge cycle is initiated, STATB is asserted for

approximately 750μs before being released. The STATB

pin is not asserted for automatic re-charge cycles.

The STATB pin may be connected to an interrupt input to

notify a host controller of the charging status or it can be

used as an LED driver.

Logical CC-to-CV Transition

The SC820 differs from monolithic linear single cell Li-ion

chargers that implement a linear transition from CC to CV

regulation. The linear transition method uses two simul-

taneous feedback signals — output voltage and output

current — to the closed-loop controller. When the output

voltage is sufficiently below the CV regulation voltage, the

influence of the voltage feedback is negligible and the

output current is regulated to the desired current. As the

battery voltage approaches the CV regulation voltage

(4.2V), the voltage feedback signal begins to influence the

control loop, which causes the output current to decrease

although the output voltage has not reached 4.2V. The

output voltage limit dominates the controller when the

battery reaches 4.2V and eventually the controller is

entirely in CV regulation. The soft transition effectively

reduces the charge current below that which is permitted

for a portion of the charge cycle, which increases charge

time.

In the SC820, a logical transition is implemented from CC

to CV to recover the charge current lost due to the soft

transition. The controller regulates only current until the

output voltage exceeds the transition threshold voltage.

It then switches to CV regulation. The transition voltage

from CC to CV regulation is typically 5mV higher than the

CV regulation voltage, which provides a sharp and clean

transition free of chatter between regulation modes. The

difference between the transition voltage and the regula-

tion voltage is termed the CC/CV overshoot. While in CV

regulation, the output current sense remains active. If the

output current exceeds by 5% the programmed fast-

charge current, the controller reverts to current

regulation.

The logical transition from CC to CV results in the fastest

possible charging cycle that is compliant with the speci-

fied current and voltage limits of the Li-ion cell. The output

current is constant at the CC limit, then decreases abruptly

when the output voltage steps from the overshoot voltage

to the regulation voltage at the transition to CV control.

Thermal Limiting

Device thermal limiting is the third output constraint of

the Constant Current, Constant Voltage, “Constant”

Temperature (CC/CV/CT) control. This feature permits a

higher input OVP threshold, and thus the use of higher

voltage or poorly regulated adapters. If high input voltage

results in excessive power dissipation, the output current

is reduced to prevent overheating of the SC820. The

thermal limiting controller reduces the output current by

≈ –50mA/ºC for any junction temperature T

> T

When thermal limiting is inactive,

where V

is the voltage difference between the VIN pin

and the BAT pin. However, if T

computed this way exceeds

thermal limiting regulation junction temperature will be

where

JTL

− T

(Note that i

is a negative quantity.) Combining these two

equations and solving for T

JTL

, the steady state junction

temperature during active thermal limiting is

JTL

Although the thermal limiting controller is able to reduce

output current to zero, this does not happen in practice.

Output current is reduced to I(T

JTL

), reducing power dissi-

pation such that die temperature equilibrium T
