ISL6292

Li-ion/Li Polymer Battery Charger

The ISL6292 is an integrated single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer

battery charger capable of operating with an input voltage as

low as 2.4V. This charger is designed to work with various

types of AC adapters or a USB port.

The ISL6292 operates as a linear charger when the AC

adapter is a voltage source. The battery is charged in a

CC/CV (constant current/cons tant voltage) profile. The

charge current is programmable with an external resistor up

to 2A. The ISL6292 can also work with a current-limited

adapter to minimize the thermal dissipation, in which case,

the ISL6292 combines the benefits of both a linear charger

and a pulse charger.

The ISL6292 features charge current thermal foldback to

guarantee safe operation when the printed circuit board is

space limited for thermal dissipation. Additional features

include preconditioning of an over-discharged battery, an

NTC thermistor interface for charging the battery in a safe

temperature range, automatic recharge, and thermally

enhanced QFN or DFN packages.

Pin Descriptions

VIN (Pin 1, 15, 16 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 1 for 3x3)

VIN is the input power source. Connect to a wall adapter.

FAULT (Pin 2)

FAULT is an open-drain output indicating fault status. This

pin is pulled to LOW under any fault conditions.

STATUS (Pin 3)

STATUS is an open-drain output indicating charging and

inhibit states. The STATUS pin is pulled LOW when the

charger is charging a battery.

Time (Pin 4)

The TIME pin determines the oscill ation period by

connecting a timi ng capacitor between this pin and GND.

The oscillator also provides a time reference for the charger.

GND (Pin 5)

GND is the connection to system ground.

TOEN (Pin 6 for 4x4, 5x5; N/A for 3x3)

TOEN is the TIMEOUT enable input pin. Pulling this pin to

LOW disables the TIMEOUT charge-time limit for the fast

charge modes. Leaving this pin HIGH or floating enables the

TIMEOUT limit.

EN (Pin 7 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 6 for 3x3)

EN is the enable logic input. Connect the EN pin to LOW to

disable the charger or leave it floating to enable the charger.

V2P8 (Pin 8 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 7 for 3x3)

This is a 2.8V reference voltage output. This pin outputs a

2.8V voltage source when the input voltage is above POR

threshold and outputs zero otherwise. The V2P8 pin can be

used as an indication for adapter presence.

IREF (Pin 9 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 8 for 3x3)

This is the prog ra mmi n g i np u t for the constant charging

current.

IMIN (Pin 10 for 4x4, 5x5; N/A for 3x3)

IMIN is the programmable input for the end-of-charge

current.

TEMP (Pin 11 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 9 for 3x3)

TEMP is the input for an external NTC thermistor . The TEMP

pin is also used for battery removal detection.

VBAT (Pin 12, 13, 14 for 4x4, 5x5; Pin 10 for 3x3)

VBAT is the connectio n to the battery. Typically a 10µF

Tantalum capacitor is needed for stability when there is no

battery attached. When a battery is attached, only a 0.1µF

ceramic capacitor is required.

Theory of Operation

The ISL6292 is an integrated charger for single-cell Li-ion or

Li-polymer batteries. The ISL6292 functions as a traditional

linear charger when powered with a voltage-source adapter .

When powered with a current-limited adapter, the charger

minimizes the thermal dissipation commonly seen in

traditional linear chargers.

As a linear charger, the ISL6292 charges a battery in the

popular constant cu rrent (CC) and const ant vo lt age (CV)

profile. The const ant charge current I REF is progra mmable up

to 2A (1.5A for the 3x3 DFN p ackage) with an external resistor

or a logic input. The charge voltage V CH has 1% accuracy

over the entire recommended opera ting conditio n ra nge. The

charger always preconditions the battery with 10% of the

programmed current at the beginning of a charge cycle, until

the battery volt age i s verified to be ab ove th e minimum fa st

charge voltage, VMIN. This low-curren t preconditioni ng

charge mode is named trickl e mode. The verification t akes 15

cycles of an internal oscillator whose pe rio d is programmable

with the timing cap acitor. A thermal-foldback feature removes

the thermal concern typically seen in linear chargers. The

charger reduces the charge current automatically as the IC

internal temperature rises above +10 0°C to pre vent further

temperature rise. The thermal-foldback feature guarantees

safe operation when the printed circui t board (PCB) is space

limited for thermal dissip a tion.

A TEMP pin monitors the battery temperature to ensure a

safe charging temperature range. The temperature range is

programmable with an external neg ative temperature

coefficient (NTC) thermistor. The T EMP pin is also used to

detect the removal of the battery.

The charger offers a safety timer for setting the fast charge time

(TIMEOUT) limit to prevent charging a dead battery for an

extensively long time. The TIMEOUT limit can be disabled as

needed by the TOEN pin. The trickle mode is limited to 1/8 of

TIMEOUT and cannot be disabled by the TOEN pin.

The charger automatically re-charges the battery when the

battery voltage drops below a recharge threshold. When the

wall adapter is not present, the ISL6292 draws less than 1µA

current from the battery.

Three indication pins are available from the charger to

indicate the charge status. The V2P8 outputs a 2.8VDC

voltage when the input voltage is above the power-on reset

(POR) level and can be used as the power-present

indication. This pin is capable of sourcing a 2mA current, so

it can also be used to bias external circuits. The STA TUS pin

is an open-drain logic output that turns LOW at the beginning

of a charge cycle until the end-of-charge (EOC) condition is

qualified. The EOC condition is: the battery voltage rises

above the recharge threshold an d the charge current falls

below a user-programmable EOC current threshold. Once

the EOC condition is qualified, the STATUS output rises to

HIGH and is latched. The latch is released at the beginning

of a charge or re-charge cycle. The open-drain FAULT pin

turns low when any fault conditions occur. The faul t

conditions include the external battery temperature fault, a

charge time fault, or the battery removal.

Figure 17 shows the typical charge curves in a traditional

linear charger powered with a constant-voltage adapter.

From top to bottom, the curves represent the constant input

voltage, the battery voltage, the charge current and the

power dissipation in the charger . The power dissipation PCH

is given by Equation 1:

where ICHARGE is the charge current. The maximum power

dissipation occurs during the beginning of the CC mode. The

maximum power the IC is capable of dissipating is

dependent on the thermal impedance of the printed-circuit

board (PCB). Figure 17 shows (with dotted lines) two cases

that the charge currents are limited by the maximum power

dissipation capability due to the thermal foldback.

When using a current-limited adapter, the thermal situation

in the ISL6292 is totally different. Figure 18 shows the typical

charge curves when a current-limited adapter is employed.

The operation requires the IREF to be programmed higher

than the limited current ILIM of the adapter, as shown in

Figure 18. The key difference of the charger operating under

such conditions occurs during the CC mode.

The Block Diagram (Figure 16) aids in understanding the

operation. The current loop consists of the current amplifier

CA and the sense MOSFET QSEN. The current reference IR

is programmed by the IREF pin. The current amplifier CA

regulates the gate of the sense MOSFET QSEN so that the

sensed current ISEN matches the reference current IR. The

main MOSFET QMAIN and the sense MOSFET QSEN form a

current mirror with a ratio of 100,000:1, that is, the output

charge current is 100,000 times IR. In the CC mode, the

current loop tries to increase the charge current by

enhancing the sense MOSFET QSEN, so that the sensed

current matches the reference current. On the other hand,

the adapter current is limited, the actual output current will

never meet what is required by the current reference. As a

result, the current error amplifier CA keeps enhancing the

QSEN as well as the main MOSFET QMAIN, until they are

fully turned on. Therefore, the main MOSFET becomes a

power switch instead of a linear regulation device. The

power dissipation in the CC mode becomes Equation 2:

where rDS(ON) is the resistance when the main MOSFET is

fully turned on. This powe r is typically much less than the

peak power in the traditional linear mode.

The worst power dissipation when using a current-li mited

adapter typically occurs at the beginning of the CV mode, as

shown in Figure 18. Equation 1 applies during the CV mode.

When using a very small PCB whose thermal impedance is

relatively large, it is possible that the internal temperature

can still reach the thermal foldback threshold. In that case,

the IC is thermally protected by lowering the charge current,

as shown with the dotted lines in the charge current and

power curves. Appropriate design of the adapter can furth er

reduce the peak power dissipation of the ISL6292.

See“Applications Information” on page 11 for more

information.

Figure 19 illustrates the typical signal waveforms for the

linear charger from the power-up to a recharge cycle. More

detailed Applications Information is given in the following.

Applications Information

Power on Reset (POR)

The ISL6292 resets itself as the input voltage rises above

the POR rising threshold. Th e V2P8 pin outputs a 2.8V

voltage, the internal oscillator starts to oscillate, the internal

timer is reset, and the charger begins to charge the battery.

The two indication pins, STAT US a nd FAULT, indicate a

LOW and a HIGH logic signal respectively. Figure 19

illustrates the start-up of the charger between t0 to t2.

The ISL6292 has a typical rising POR threshold of 3.4V and

a falling POR threshold of 2.4V. The 2.4V falling threshold

guarantees charger operatio n with a current-limited adapter

to minimize the thermal dissipation.

Charge Cycle

A charge cycle consists of three charge modes: trickle mode,

constant current (CC) mode, and constant volt age (CV) mode.

The charge cycle always starts w ith the trickle mode until the

battery voltage stays above V MIN (2.8V typical) for 15

consecutive cycles of the internal osci llator. If the battery

voltage dro p s b elow VMIN during the 15 cycles, the 15-cycl e

counter is reset and the charger st ays in the trickle mode. The

charger moves to the CC mode after verifyi ng the battery

voltage. As the battery-pack terminal voltage rises to the final

charge voltage VCH, the CV mo de begins. Th e termina l

voltage is regulated at the constant VCH in the CV mode and

the charge current is expected to decline. Af ter th e charg e

current drops bel ow IMIN (p rog rammable for the 4x4 an d 5x5

package and programmed to 1/10 of IREF for the 3x3

package; see “End-of-Cha rge (EOC) Curre nt” on p age 13 for

more detail), the ISL6292 indicates the end-of-ch arge (EOC)

with the STATUS pin. The charging actually does not

terminate until the internal timer completes it s l ength of

TIMEOUT in order to bring the battery to it s full cap acity.

The following events initiate a new charge cycle:

•POR,

• a new battery being inserted (detected by TEMP pin),

• the battery voltage drops below a recharge threshold after

completing a charge cycle,

• recovery from an battery over-temperature fault,

• or, the EN pin is toggled from GND to floating.

Further description of these events are given later in this

data sheet.

Recharge

After a charge cycle completes, charging is prohibited until

the battery voltage drops to a recharge threshold, VRECHRG

(see “Electrical Specifications” on page 3). Then a new

charge cycle starts at point t6 and ends at point t8, as shown

in Figure 19. The safety timer is reset at t6.

Internal Oscillator

The internal oscillator establishes a timing reference. The

oscillation period is programmable with an external timing

capacitor, CTIME, as shown in Typical Applications. The

oscillator charges the timing capacitor to 1.5V and then

discharges it to 0.5V in one period, both with 10µA current.

The period tOSC is:

A 1nF capacitor results in a 0.2ms oscillation period. The

accuracy of the period is mainly dependent on the accuracy

of the capacitance and the internal current source.

Total Charge Time

The total charge time for the CC mode and CV mode is

limited to a length of TIMEOUT. A 22-stage binary counter

increments each oscillation period of the internal oscillator to

set the TIMEOUT. The TIMEOUT can be calculated as:

A 1nF capacitor leads to 14 minutes of TIMEOUT. For

example, a 15nF capacitor sets the TIMEOUT to be

3.5 hours. The charger has to reach the end-of-charge

condition before the TIMEOUT, otherwise, a TIMEOUT fault

is issued. The TIMEOUT fault latches up the charger. There

are two ways to release such a latch-up: either to recycle the

input power, or toggle the EN pin to disable the charger and

then enable it again.

The trickle mode charge has a time limit of 1/8 TIMEOUT. If

the battery voltage does not reach VMIN within this limit, a

TIMEOUT fault is issued and the charger latches up. The

charger stays in trickle mode for at least 15 cycles of the

internal oscillator and, at most, 1/8 of TIMEOUT, as shown in

Figure 19.

Disabling TIMEOUT Limit

The TIMEOUT limit for the fast charg e modes can be disabled

by pulling the TOEN pin to LOW or shorting it to GND. Wh en

this happens, the charger becomes a current-limited L DO

(low-dropout) supply with its voltage regulated at the final

charge voltage VCH and the current limit determined by the

IREF pin. If the LDO load current drop s bel ow the end-o f-

charge current (refer to “End-of-Charg e (EOC) Current” on

page 13), the STATUS pin will indicate.

The trickle charge time limit, however, is not disabled even

when the TOEN pin is pulled to LOW. The charger operates

in the trickle mode at the beginning of a charge cycle even if

the TIMEOUT is disabled. Leaving the TOEN pin floating is

recommended to enable the TIMEOUT. Driving the TOEN

pin above 3.0V is not recommended.

Charge Current Programming

The charge current is programmed by the IREF pin. There

are three ways to program the charge current:

1. Driving the IREF pin above 1.3V

2. Driving the IREF pin below 0.4V,

3. or using the RIREF as shown in “Typical Applications” on

page 8.

The voltage of IREF is regulated to a 0.8V reference voltage

when not driven by any external source. The charging

current during the constant current mode is 100,000 times

that of the current in the RIREF resistor. Hence, depending

on how IREF pin is used, the charge current is:

The 500mA current is a guaranteed maximum value for the

high-power USB port, with the typical va lue of 450mA. The

100mA current is also a guaranteed maximum value for the

low-power USB port. This design accommodates the USB

power specification.

The internal reference voltage at the IREF pin is capable of

sourcing less than 100µA curre nt. When pulling down the

IREF pin with a logic circuit, the logic circuit needs to be able

to sink at least 100µA current.

When the adapter is current limited, it is recommended that

the reference current be programmed to at least 30% higher

than the adapter current limit (which equals the charge

current). In addition, the charge current should be at least

350mA so that the voltage difference between the VIN and

the VBAT pins is higher th an 100mV. The 100mV is the

offset voltage of the input-output voltage comparator shown

in the block diagram on page 9.

End-of-Charge (EOC) Current

The end-of-charge current I MIN sets the level at which the

charger starts to indicate the end of the charge with the

STATUS pin, as shown in Figure 19. The charger actually

does not terminate charging until the end of the TIMEOUT,

as described in “Total Charge Time” on p age 12. The IMIN is

set in two ways, by connecting a resisto r between the IMIN

pin and ground, or by connecting the IMIN pin to the V2P8

pin. When programming with the resistor, the I MIN is set in

Equation 6.

where R IMIN is the resistor connected between the IMIN pin

and the ground. When connected to the V2P8 pin, the IMIN

is set to 1/10 of IREF, except when the IREF pin is shorted to

GND. Under this exception, IMIN is 5mA. For the ISL6292 in

the 3x3 DFN package, the IMIN pin is bonded internally to

V2P8.

Charge Current Thermal Foldback

Over-heating is always a concern in a linear charger. The

maximum power dis s ipation usually occurs at the beginning

of a charge cycle when the battery voltage is at its minimum

but the charge current is at its maximum. The charge current

thermal foldback function in the ISL6292 frees users from

the over-heating concern .

Figure 20 shows the current signals at the summing node of

the current error amplifier CA in the Block Diagram shown on

page 9. IR is the reference and IT is the current from the

Temperature Monitoring block. The IT has no impact on the

charge current until the internal temperature reaches

approximately +100°C; then IT rises at a rate of 1µA/°C.

When IT rises, the current control loop forces the sensed

current ISEN to reduce at the same rate. As a mirrored

current, the charge current is 100,000 times that of the

sensed current and reduces at a rate of 100mA/°C. For a

charger with the constant charge current set at 1A, the

charge current is reduced to zero when the internal

temperature rises to +110°C. T he actual charge current

settles between +100°C to +110°C.

Usually the charge current should not drop below IMIN because

of the thermal foldback. For some extreme cases (if that does

happen) the charger does not indicate end-of-charge unless

the battery voltage is already above the recharge threshold.

2.8V Bias Voltage

The ISL6292 provides a 2.8V voltage for biasing the internal

control and logic circuit. This voltage is also available for

external circuits such as the NTC thermistor circuit. The

maximum allowed external load is 2mA.

NTC Thermistor

The ISL6292 uses two comp a rators (CP2 and CP3) to form a

window comparator, as shown in Figure 22. When the TEMP

pin voltage is “o ut of the window,” determined by the VTMIN

and VTMAX, the ISL6292 stops charg ing and indicates a fault

condition. When the te mp erature retu rns to th e set range, the

charger re-start s a charge cycle. The two MOSFETs, Q1 and

Q2, produce hysteresis for both upper and lower thresholds.

The temperature window is shown in Figure 2 1.

As the TEMP pin voltage rises from low and exceeds the 1.4V

threshold, the under temperature signal rises and does not

clear until the TEMP pin voltage falls below the 1.2V falling

threshold. Similarly, the over-temperature signal is given when

the TEMP pin voltage falls below the 0.35V threshold and does

not clear until the voltage rises above 0.406V. The actual

accuracy of the 2.8V is not import ant because all the

thresholds and the TEMP pin voltage are ratios determined by

the resistor dividers, as shown in Figure 22.

The NTC thermistor is required to have a resistance ratio of

7:1 at the low and the high temperature limits, that is:

This is because at the low temperature limit, the TEMP pin

voltage is 1.4V, which is 1/2 of the 2.8V bias. Thus:

where RU is the pull-up resistor as shown in Figure 22. On

the other hand, at the high temperature limit the TEMP pin

voltage is 0.35V, 1/8 of the 2.8V bias. Therefore:

Various NTC thermistors are available for this application.

Table 1 shows the resistance ratio and the negative

temperature coefficient of the curve-1 NTC thermistor from

Vishay (http://www .vishay .com) at various temperatures. The

resistance at +3°C is approximately seven times the

resistance at +47°C, which is shown in Equation 10:

Therefore, if +3°C is the low tempera ture limit, the n the high

temperature limit is approximately +47°C. The pull-up resisto r

RU can choose the same value as the resist a nce at +3°C .

The temperature hysteresis ca n be estimated. At the low

temperature, the hysteresis is approximately estimated in

Equation 11:

where 0.051 is the NTC at +3°C. Similarly, the high

temperature hysteresis is estimated in Equation 12:

where the 0.039 is the NTC at +47°C.

For applications that do not need to monitor the battery

temperature, the NTC thermistor can be replaced with a

regular resistor of a half value of the pull-up resistor RU.

Another option is to connect the TEMP pin to the IREF pin

that has a 0.8V output. With such connection, the IREF pin

can no longer be programmed with logic inputs.

Battery Removal Detection

The ISL6292 assumes that the thermistor is co-packed with

the battery and is removed together with the battery. When

the charger senses a TEMP pin voltage that is 2.1V or

higher, it assumes that the battery is removed. The battery

removal detection circuit is also shown in Figure 22. When a

battery is removed, a F AULT signal is indicated and charging

is halted. When a battery is inserted again, a new charge

cycle starts.

Indications

The ISL6292 has three indications: the input presence, the

charge status, and the fault indication. The input presence is

indicated by the V2P8 pin while the other two indications are

presented by the STATUS pin and FAULT pin respectively.

Figure 23 shows the V2P8 pin voltage vs the inp ut voltage.

Table 2 summarizes the other two pins.

Shutdown

The ISL6292 can be shutdown by pulling the EN pin to

ground. When shut down, the charger draws typically less

than 30µA current from the input power and the 2.8V output

at the V2P8 pin is also turned off. The EN pin needs to be

driven with an open-drain or open-collector logic output, so

that the EN pin is floating when the charger is enabled.

Input and Output Capacitor Selection

Typically any type of capacitors can be used for the input

and the output. Use of a 0.47µF or higher value ceramic

capacitor for the input is recommended. When the battery is

attached to the charger, the output capacitor can be any

ceramic type with the value higher than 0.1µF. However, if

there is a chance the charger will be used as an LDO linear

regulator, a 10µF tantalum capacitor is recommended.

Current-Limited Adapter

Figure 24 shows the ideal current-voltage characteristics of

a current-limited adapter. VNL is the no-load ada pter output

voltage and VFL is the full load voltage at the current limit

ILIM. Before its output current reaches the limit ILIM, the

adapter presents the characteristics of a voltage source. The

slope rO represents the output resistance of the voltage

supply. For a well regulated supply, the output resistance

can be very small, but some adapters naturally have a

certain amount of output resistance.

The adapter is equivalent to a current source when runnin g

in the constant-current region. Being a current source, its

output voltage is dependent on the load, which, in this case,

is the charger and the battery. As the battery is being

charged, the adapter output rises from a lower voltage in the

current-voltage characteristics curve, such as point A, to

higher voltage until reaching the breaking point B, as shown

in Figure 24.

The adapter is equivale nt to a voltage source with output

resistance when running in the constant-voltage region;

because of this characteristic. As the charge current drops,

the adapter output moves from point B to point C, shown in

Figure 24.

The battery pack can be approximated as an ideal cell with a

lumped-sum resistance in series, also shown in Figure 24.

The ISL6292 charger sits between the adapter and the

battery.

Working with Current-Limited Adapter

As described earlier, the ISL6292 minimizes the thermal

dissipation when running off a current-limited AC adapter , as

shown in Figure 18. The thermal dissipation can be further

reduced when the adapter is properly designed. The

following demonstrates that the thermal dissipation can be

minimized if the adapter output reaches the full-load output

voltage (point B in Figure 24) before the battery pack voltage

reaches the final charge voltage (4.1V or 4.2V). The

assumptions for the following discussion are: the adapter

current limit = 750mA, the battery pack equivalent

resistance = 200mΩ, and the charger ON-resi s tance is

350mΩ.

When charging in the constant-current region, the pass

element in the charger is fully turned on. The charger is

equivalent to the ON-resistance of the internal P-Chan nel

MOSFET. The entire charging syst em is equivalent to the

circuit shown in Figure 25A. The charge current is the

constant current limit ILIM, and the adapter output voltage

can be easily found out as calculated in Equation 13:

where VPACK is the battery pack voltage. The power

dissipation in the charger is given in Equation 2, where

ICHARGE = ILIM.

A critical conditio n of the adapter design is that the adapter

output reaches point B in Figure 24 at the same time as the

battery pack voltage reaches the final charge voltage (4.1V

or 4.2V), that is:

For example, if the final charge voltage is 4.2V, the rDS(ON)

is 350mΩ, and the current limit ILIM is 750mA, the critical

adapter full-load voltage is 4.4625V.

When the above condition is true, the charger enters the

constant-voltage mode simultaneously as the adapter exits

the current-limit mode. The equivalent charging system is

shown in Figure 25C. Since the charge current drops at a

higher rate in the constant-voltage mode than the increase

rate of the adapter voltage, the power dissipation decreases

as the charge current decreases. Therefore, the worst case

thermal dissipation occurs in the constant-current charge

mode. Figure 25A shows the I-V curves of the adapter

output, the battery pack voltage and the cell voltage during

the charge. The 5.9V no-load voltage is just an example

value higher than the full-load voltage. The cell voltage

4.05V uses the assumption that the pack resistance is

200mΩ. Figure 26A illustra tes the adapter voltage, battery

pack voltage, the charge current and the power dissipation in

the charger respectively in the time domain .

If the battery pack voltage reaches 4.2V (or 4.1V) before the

adapter reaches point B in Figure 24, a voltage step is

expected at the adapter output when the pack voltage

reaches the final charge voltage. As a result, the charger

power dissipation is also expected to have a step rise. This

case is shown in Figure 18 as well as Figure 27C. Under this

condition, the worst case thermal dissi pation in the charger

happens when the charger enters the constant voltage

mode.

If the adapter voltage reaches the full-load voltage before the

pack voltage reaches 4.2V (or 4.1V), the charger will

experience the resistance-limit situation. In this situation, the

ON-resistance of the charger is in series with the adapter

output resistance. The equivalent circuit for the resistance-limit

region is shown in Figure 25B. Eventually , the battery pack

voltage will reach 4.2V (or 4.1V) because the adapter no-load

voltage is higher than 4.2V (or 4.1V), then Figure 25C becomes

the equivalent circuit until charging ends. In this case, the

worst-case thermal dissipation also occurs in the const ant-

current charge mode. Figure 26B shows the I-V curves of the

adapter output, the battery pack voltage and the cell voltage for

the case VFL = 4V. In the case, the full-load voltage is lower

than the final charge voltage (4.2V), but the charger is still able

to fully charge the battery as long as the no-load voltage is

above 4.2V. Figure 26B illustrates the adapter voltage, battery

p a ck v ol t a g e , the charge current and the power dissipation in

the charger respecti vely in the time domain.

Based on the previous discussion, the worst-case power

dissipation occurs during the constant-current charge mode

if the adapter full-load voltage is lower than the cri tical

voltage given in Equation 14. Even if that is not true, the

power dissipation is still much less than the power

dissipation in the traditional linear charger. Fi gures 28 and

29 are scope-captured waveforms to demonstrate the

operation with a current-limited adapter.

The waveforms in Figure 28 are the adapter output voltage

(1V/div), the battery voltage (1V/div), and the charge current

(200mA/div) respectively. The time scale is 1ks/div. The

adapter current is limited to 600mA and the charge current is

programmed to 1A. Note that the voltage difference is only

approximately 200mV and the adapte r voltage tracks the

battery voltage in the CC mode. Figure 28 also shows the

resistance-limit mode before entering the CV mode.

Figure 29 shows the actual captured waveforms depicted in

Figure 27C. The constant charge current is 750mA. A step in

the adapter voltage during the transition from CC mode to

CV mode is demonstrated.

IREF Programming Using Current-Limited Adapter

The ISL6292 has 10% tolerance for the charge current.

T ypically the current-limited adapter also has 10% tolerance.

In order to guarantee proper operation, it is recommended

that the nominal charge current be programmed at least

30% higher than the nominal current limit of the adapter.

Board Layout Recommendations

The ISL6292 internal thermal fold back function limits the

charge current when the internal temperature reache s

approximately +100°C. In order to maximize the current

capability, it is very important that the exposed pad under the

package is properly soldered to the board and is connected

to other layers through thermal vias. More thermal vias and

more copper attached to the exposed pad usually result in

better thermal performance. On the other hand, the number

of vias is limited by the size of the pad. The exposed pads for

the 5x5 and 4x4 QFN packages are able to have 9 and 5

vias respectively. The 3x3 DFN package allows 8 vias be

placed in two rows. Since the pins on the 3x3 DFN package

are on only two sides, as much top layer copper as possible

should be connected to the exposed pad to minimize the

thermal impedance. Refer to the ISL6292 evaluation boards

for layout examples.
