Thermal Regulation

The charger features an internal thermal regulation

loop that monitors die temperature and reduces

charging current as needed to ensure that the die

temperature does not exceed the thermal regulation

threshold of 110°C. This feature protects against

excessive junction temperature and makes the

device more accommodating to aggressive thermal

designs. Note, however, that attention to good

thermal designs is required to achieve the fastest

possible charge time by maximizing charge current.

Charge Safety Timers

The charger features programmable charge safety

timers which help ensure a safe charge by detecting

potentially damaged cells. These timers are

programmable

via

the

PRETIMO[1:0]

and

TOTTIMO[1:0] bits, as shown in Table 12 and Table

13. Note that in order to account for reduced charge

current resulting from DCCC operation in thermal

regulation mode, the charge time-out periods are

extended proportionally to the reduction in charge

current. As a result, the actual safety period may

exceed the nominal timer period.

Charger Timer Interrupts

The charger features the ability to generate

interrupts based upon the status of the charge

timers. Set the TIMRPRE[ ] bit to 1 and

TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an interrupt when

the Precondition Timer expires. Set the TIMRTOT[ ]

bit to 1 and TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1 to generate an

interrupt when the Total-Charge Timer expires.

TIMRDAT[ ] indicates the status of the charge

timers. A value of 1 indicates a precondition time-

out or a total charge time-out occurs, a value of 0

indicates other cases.

When an interrupt is generated by the charge

timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a value of

1. TIMRSTAT[ ] is automatically cleared to 0 upon

reading. When no interrupt is generated by the

charge timers, reading the TIMRSTAT[ ] returns a

value of 0.

Charge Status Indicator

The charger provides a charge-status indicator

output, nSTAT. nSTAT is an open-drain output

which sinks current when the charger is in an

active-charging state, and is high-Z otherwise.

nSTAT features an internal 8mA current limit, and is

capable of directly driving a LED without the need of

a current-limiting resistor or other external circuitry.

To drive an LED, simply connect the LED between

nSTAT pin and an appropriate supply, such as

VSYS. For a logic-level charge status indication,

simply connect a resistor from nSTAT to an

appropriate voltage supply.

Reverse-Current Protection

The charger includes internal reverse-current

protection circuitry that eliminates the need for

blocking diodes, reducing solution size and cost as

well as dropout voltage relative to conventional

battery chargers. When the voltage at CHGIN falls

below VBAT, the charger automatically reconfigures

its power switch to minimize current drawn from the

battery.

Battery Temperature Monitoring

In a typical application, the TH pin is connected to

the battery pack's thermistor input, as shown in

Figure 8. The charger continuously monitors the

temperature of the battery pack by injecting a

102μA (typ) current into the thermistor (via the TH
