Charge Status Output
The AAT3696 provides battery charging status via a sta-
tus pin, STAT. This pin is internally connected to an
N-channel open-drain MOSFET, which can be used as a
logic signal, or drive an external LED. The charge status
indication pin (STAT) pulls high indicating charge com-
pletion or charge termination, regardless of the selection
of the charge termination mode, as long as the charge
termination current is reached.
The status pin indicates the following conditions described
in Table 1:
Charge Status Status
Battery is charging Low
Charging is completed High
When EN is high High
Table 1: LED Status Indicator.
Enable/Disable
The AAT3696 provides an enable function to control the
charger IC on and off. The enable (EN) pin is internally
pulled down with 200k. When EN is pulled down or left
floating, normal device operation commences. When it is
pulled to a logic high level, the AAT3696 charging circuit
will be shut down and forced into sleep state but the
over-voltage protection circuit remains in active state.
Charging will be halted regardless of the battery voltage
or charging state. When the device is re-enabled, the
charge control circuit will automatically reset and
resume charging functions with the appropriate charging
mode based on the battery charge state and measured
cell voltage at the BAT pin.
Low Dropout Regulator
The AAT3696 includes a low dropout regulator with input
range from 5V to the OVP trip point which is 6.75V or
6.25V and is always enabled. The LDO output VOUT is set
to 4.9V and supplies a continuous current up to 30mA.
The LDO output needs to be decoupled with 2.2F to
ground for stability reasons.
Over-Voltage Protection
In normal operation, an OVP switch acts as a load
switch, connecting the power source from IN to INCHR.
This switch is designed with very low resistance to min-
imize the voltage drop between the power source and
the charger and to reduce the power dissipation. When
the voltage on the power source exceeds the OVP trip
point, 6.75V or 6.25V respectively, the switch immedi-
ately becomes open (OFF) and disconnect the load and
the charger from the power source therefore, preventing
damage to any downstream components. Simultaneously,
the fault flag is raised, alerting the system. If an over-
voltage condition is applied at the time of the device
enable, the switch remains open (OFF).
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The AAT3696 has a 3V (maximum) under-voltage lock-
out level (UVLO). When the input voltage is less than the
UVLO level, the OVP switch and the charger are turned
off. It is designed with 150mV hysteresis to ensure cir-
cuit stability.
Over-Voltage Fault Flag Output
The over-voltage fault flag (OVPFLG) is an active-low
open-drain fault reporting output. A pull-up resistor
should be connected from to I/O voltage of the system.
In the event of an over-voltage condition OVPFLG will be
asserted immediately with approximately 1s inherited
internal circuit delay. After the over-voltage fault is
released, OVPFLG will be de-asserted with 1.5s delay
(optional of 80ms delay).
Battery Over-Voltage Protection
An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where
the voltage at the BAT pin exceeds the maximum battery
charge voltage and is set by the battery over-voltage
protection threshold (VBOVP). If an overvoltage condition
occurs sensed by the BATS pin, the AAT3696 charge
control will shut down the device until voltage at the BAT
pin drops below VBOVP
. The AAT3696 will resume normal
charging operation after the over-voltage condition is
removed.
Over-Temperature Shutdown
The AAT3696 has a thermal protection control circuit
which will shut down charging functions if the internal
die temperature exceed the preset thermal limit thresh-
old of 140°C. Once the internal die temperature falls
below the thermal limit, normal operation will resume
the previous charging state.
