DC/DC Con verter IC for Parallel Charging
MB3874/MB3876
DESCRIPTION
The MB3874 and MB3876 are parallel charging DC/DC con v erter ICs suitable f or do wn-con version, which uses
pulse width modulation (PWM) for controlling the output voltage and current independently.
These ICs can dynamically control the secondary battery’s charge current by detecting a voltage drop in an AC
adapter in order to keep its power constant (dynamically-controlled charging).
The charging method enables quick charging, for example, with the AC adapter during operation of a notebook PC.
The IC also enable parallel charging, or charging two batteries at the same time, dramatically reducing the charging
time.
With an on-chip output voltage setting resistor which allows the output voltage to be set at high precision, these
ICs are best suited as internal battery chargers for notebook PCs.
The MB3874 support 3-cell battery and the MB3876 support 4-cell battery.
These products are covered by US Patent Number 6,147,477.

ature-compensated, stable voltage ( := 4.2 V) used as the ref erence supply v oltage for the IC’ s internal circuitry.
The reference voltage can be output, up to 1 mA, to an external device through the VREF terminal (pin 5).
(2) Triangular wave oscillator block (OSC)
The triangular wave oscillator generates a triangular wavefor m with a frequency setting resistor connected to
the internal frequency setting capacitor via the RT terminal (pin 17).
The triangular wave is input to the PWM comparator on the IC.
(3) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.1)
This error amplifier (Error Amp.1) detects a voltage drop in the AC adapter and outputs a PWM control signal
as well as a signal to the dynamically controlled charging detection block (MASK Comp.).
In addition, an arbitrary loop gain can be set by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor from the FB1
ter minal (pin 7) to the INE1 terminal (pin 8) of the error amplifier, enabling stable phase compensation to the
system.
(4) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.2, 3)
These error amplifiers (Error Amp .2, Error Amp.3) detect the output signals from the current detector amplifiers
(Current Amp .1, Current Amp .2), compare them with the +INE2 terminal (pin 4) and +INE3 terminal (pin 9), and
output PWM control signals to control the charge current.
In addition, these amplifiers allow an arbitrary loop gain to be set by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor
from the FB2 terminal (pin 2) to INE2 terminal (pin 3) and from the FB3 terminal (pin 11) to INE3 terminal (pin
10) of the error amplifiers, enabling stable phase compensation to the system.
(5) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.4, 5)
This error amplifier (Error Amp.4, Error Amp.5) detects the output voltage from the switching rerulator and outputs
the PWM control signal. The error amplifier inv erted input pin is connected to the output voltage setting resistor
in the IC , eliminating the need for an external resistor for setting the output voltage. The MB3874 and MB3876
are set to output v oltage of 12.6 V (for a 3-cell battery) and 16.8 V (f or a 4-cell battery), respectively; these ICs
are suitable for use in equipment that uses a lithium-ion battery.
In addition, an arbitrary loop gain can be set by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor from the FB4
ter minal (pin 15) to the INE4 terminal (pin 16) to the INE5 terminal (pin 14) of the error amplifier, enabling
stable phase compensation to the system.
Connecting a soft-start capacitor to the CS terminal (pin 22) prevents surge currents when the IC is turned on.
Using an error amplifier for soft-start detection makes the soft-start time constant, independent of the output load.
(6) Current detector amplifier block (Current Amp.1, 2)
The current detection amplifier (Current Amp.1, Current Amp.2) detects a voltage drop which occurs between
both ends of the output sense resistor (RS1) due to the flow of the charge current, using the +INC1 terminal
(pin 24) and
INC1 ter minal (pin 1). Then it outputs the signal amplified by 25 times to the error amplifier (Error Amp.2) at
the ne xt stage.The amplifiers also detect a voltage drop which occurs at both ends of the output sense resistor
MB3874/MB3876
16
(RS2) using the +INC2 terminal (pin 13) and INC2 terminal (pin 12) and output the signal amplified by 25 times
to the error amplifier (Error Amp. 3) at the next stage.
(7) PWM comparator block (PWM Comp.)
The PWM comparator circuit is a voltage-pulse width converter for controlling the output duty of the error
amplifiers (Error Amp. 1 to Error Amp. 5) depending on their output voltage.
The PWM comparator circuit compares the triangular wave generated by the tr iangular wave oscillator to the
error amplifier output voltage and turns on the external output transistor during the interval in which the triangular
wave voltage is lower than the error amplifier output voltage.
(8) Output block (OUT)
The output circuit uses a totem-pole configuration capable of driving an external P-channel MOS FET.
The output “L” level sets the output amplitude to 5 V (typical) using the voltage generated by the bias voltage
block (VH).
This results in increasing conv ersion efficiency and suppressing the withstand voltage of the connected e xternal
transistor in a wide range of input voltages.
(9) Control block (CTL)
Setting the CTL terminal (pin 6) low places the IC in the standby mode. (The supply current is 10 µA at maximum
in the standby mode.)
(10) Bias voltage block (VH)
The bias v oltage circuit outputs Vcc 5 V (typical) as the minimum potential of the output circuit. In the standb y
mode, this circuit outputs the potential equal to Vcc.
2. Protection Functions
Low-Vcc malfunction preventive circuit (UVLO)
The transient state or a momentary decrease in supply voltage or internal reference voltage (VREF), which
occurs when the power supply is tur ned on, may cause malfunctions in the control IC, resulting in breakdown
or degradation of the system. To prevent such malfunction, the low-Vcc malfunction preventive circuit detects
a supply voltage or inter nal reference voltage drop and fixes the OUT terminal (pin 20) to the “H” level. The
system restores voltage supply when the supply voltage or internal reference voltage reaches the threshold
voltage of the low-Vcc malfunction preventive circuit.
3. Soft-start Function
Soft-start block (SOFT)
Connecting a capacitor to the CS terminal (pin 22) pre v ents surge currents when the IC is turned on. Using an
error amplifier for soft-start detection makes the soft-star t time constant, independent of the output load of the
DC/DC converter.
4. Additional Functions
Dynamically controlled charging detection block (MASK Comp.)
The dynamically controlled charging detection block (MASK Comp.) usually output the “H” level signal. The
OUTM signal becomes low (“L” leve l) when the output voltage of the error amplifier (Error Amp. 1) that detects
the input v oltage (Vcc) becomes low er than the crest v alue (2.5 V) of the triangular wa v eform generator (OSC).
The OUTM signal return high (“H” level) when the input voltage reaches 2.8 V or more.

METHOD OF SETTING THE CHARGING CURRENT
The charge current (output control current) value can be set with the voltage at the +INE2, +INE3 terminal.
If a current e xceeding the set value attempts to flow , the charge v oltage drops according to the set current value .
Battery 1 charge current setting voltage : +INE2
+INE2 (V) = 25 × I1 (A) × RS1 ()
Battery 2 charge current setting voltage : +INE3
+INE3 (V) = 25 × I2 (A) × RS 2 ()
METHOD OF SETTING THE SOFT-START TIME
Upon activation, the IC starts charging the capacitor (Cs) connected to the CS terminal .
The error amplifier causes soft-start operation to be performed with the output voltage in propor tion to the CS
pin voltage regardless of the load current of the DC/DC converter.
Soft-start time ts (Time taken for the output voltage to reach 100 %)
ts (s) := 4.2 × CS (µF)
METHOD OF SETTING THE TRIANGULAR WAVE OSCILLAT OR FREQUENCY SETTING
The trianguar wav e oscillator frequency can be set by the timing resistor (RT) connected the R T terminal (pin 17).
Triangular wave oscillator frequency fOSC
fOSC (kHz) := 14444 / RT (k)
AC ADAPTER VOLTAGE DETECTION
When par tial potential point A of the AC adapter voltage (Vcc) becomes lower than the voltage at the –INE1
pin, the IC enters the constant-power mode to reduce the charge current in order to keep AC adapter power
constant.
AC adapter detected voltage setting Vth
Vth (V) = (208k + 42k) / 42k × INE1 := 5.95 × INE1

OPERATION TIMING DIAGRAM
About the OUTM signal
The OUTM signal becomes low when the output voltage of the error amplifier (Error Amp. 1) that detects the
AC adapter voltage (Vcc) becomes lower than the crest value (2.5 V) of the triangular waveform generator (OSC).
If the sum of the current consumption by the system and that b y the charger e xceeds the current capacity of the
AC adapter, the IC detects a voltage drop in the AC adapter output and switches to the dynamically-controlled
charging mode from C.V.C.C (constant-voltage/constant-current charging control) mode.
In the dynamically-controlled charging mode, the OUTM pin outputs the L level signal to distinguish between
the case in which the charge current has become small as the system current consumption has increased and
the case in which it has become small as battery charging has been finished.

NOTE ON AN EXTERNAL REVERSE-CURRENT PREVENTIVE DIODE
If there is an imbalance in charge current (I1, I2) under constant-v oltage control, v oltage is controled at the side
with a lower battery voltage and thus the battery voltage at one side is higher than that at the other by the voltage
diff erence betw een the re verse-current pre v entive diodes (D1, D2) and between the sense resistors (Rs1, Rs2)
Pay attention to the voltage/current character istics of the reverse-current preventive diode (D1, D2) not to let it
exceed the overcharge stop voltage.

USAGE PRECAUTIONS
1. Never use settings exceeding maximum rated conditions.
Exceeding maximum rated conditions may cause permanent damage to the LSI.
Also, it is recommended that recommended operating conditions be observed in normal use.
Exceeding recommended operating conditions may adversely affect LSI reliability.
2. Use this device within recommended operating conditions.
Recommended operating conditions are v alues within which normal LSI operation is warranted. Standard elec-
trical characteristics are warranted within the range of recommended oper ating conditions and within the listed
conditions for each parameter.
3. Printed circuit board ground lines should be set up with consideration for common imped-
ance.
4. Take appropriate static electricity measures.
Containers f or semiconductor materials should ha ve anti-static protection or be made of conductive material.
After mounting, printed circuit boards should be stored and shipped in conductive bags or containers.
Work platforms, tools, and instruments should be properly grounded.
Working personnel should be grounded with resistance of 250 k to 1 M between body and ground.
5. Do not apply negative voltages.
The use of negative voltages below –0.3 V may create parasitic transistors on LSI lines, which can cause
abnormal operation
