Application Information
Adapter or USB Power Input
Constant current charge levels up to 500mA may be
programmed by the user when powered from a sufficient
input power source. The AAT3681A will operate from the
adapter input over a 4.0V to 7.5V range. The constant
current fast charge current for the adapter input is set
bytheRSET resistor connected between ISET and ground.
Refer to Table 1 for recommended RSET values for a
desired constant current charge level.
Adapter Input Charge Inhibit and Resume
TheAAT3681A has a UVLOandpoweronresetfeature
so that if the input supply to the ADP pin drops below the
UVLOthreshold,thecharger will suspendchargingand
shut down. When power is re-applied to the ADP pin or
theUVLOconditionrecovers,thesystemchargecontrol
will assess the state of charge on the battery cell and will
automatically resume charging in the appropriate mode
for the condition of the battery.
Enable / Disable
The AAT3681A provides an enable function to control the
charger IC on and off. The EN pin functions as follows on
thevariousAAT3681Aoptions:
AAT3681A, AAT3681A-1, AAT3681A-4, and
AAT3681A-5: The enable (EN) pin is internally pulled
downthrougha6MΩresistor.Whenpulledtoalogichigh
level, the AAT3681A is enabled. When left open or pulled
to a logic low level, the AAT3681A will be shut down and
forced into the sleep state.
AAT3681A-2: The enable (EN) pin is internally pulled
down. When left open or pulled to a logic low level, the
AAT3681A-2 is enabled. When pulled to a logic high
level, the AAT3681A-2 will be shut down and forced into
the sleep 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 on the BAT pin.
Programming Charge Current
The fast charge constant current charge level is user
programmed with a set resistor placed between the ISET
pin and ground. The accuracy of the fast charge, as well
as the preconditioning trickle charge current, is domi-
natedbythetoleranceofthesetresistorused.Forthis
reason, a 1% tolerance metal film resistor is recom-
mended for the set resistor function. Fast charge con-
stant current levels from 15mA to 500mA may be set by
selecting the appropriate resistor value from Table 1.

Protection Circuitry
Over-Voltage Protection
An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where
the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the maximum bat-
tery charge voltage and is set by the over-voltage pro-
tection threshold (VOVP). If an over-voltage condition
