The bq24780S is a 1-4 cell battery charge controller with power selection for space-constrained, multi-chemistry
portable applications such as notebook and detachable ultrabook. It supports wide input range of input sources
from 4.5 V to 24 V, and 1-4 cell battery for a versatile solution.
The bq24780S supports automatic system power source selection with separate drivers for n-channel MOSFETS
on the adapter side and battery side.
The bq24780S features Dynamic Power Management (DPM) to limit the input power and avoid AC adapter overloading. During battery charging, as the system power increases, the charging current will reduce to maintain
total input current below adapter rating. If system power demand is temporarily exceeds adapter rating, the
bq24780S supports hybrid power boost mode (previously called "turbo boost mode") to allow battery discharge
energy to supplement system power. For details of hybrid power boost mode, refer to Device Functional Modes
section.
The bq24780S closely monitors system power (PMON), input current (IADP) and battery discharge current
(IDCHG) with highly accurate current sense amplifiers. If current is too high, adapter or battery is removed, a
PROCHOT signal is asserted to CPU so that the CPU optimizes its performance to the power available to the
system.
The SMBus controls input current, charge current and charge voltage registers with high resolution, high
accuracy regulation limits. It also sets the PROCHOT timing and threshold profile to meet system requirements.
The bq24780S gets power from adapter or battery. After VCC is above its UVLO threshold, the device wakes up
and starts communication.
7.3.1.1 Battery Only
When VCC voltage is above UVLO, bq24780S powers up to turn on BATFET and starts SMBus communication.
By default, bq24780S stays in low power mode (REG0x12[15] = 1) with lowest quiescent current. When
REG0x12[15] is set to 0, the device enters performance mode. User can enable IDCHG buffer, PMON,
PROCHOT or comparator through SMBus. REGN LDO is enabled (except for IDCHG buffer) for accurate
reference.
7.3.1.2 Adapter Detect and ACOK Output
An external resistor divider attenuates the adapter voltage before it goes to ACDET. The adapter detect
threshold should typically be programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery voltage, but lower than
the maximum allowed adapter voltage. When ACDET is above 0.6V, all bias circuits are enabled.
The open drain ACOK output can be pulled to external rail under the following conditions:

The REG0x37[11] tracks the status of ACOK pin. ACOK deglitch time is 150ms at the first time adapter plug-in,

7.3.1.2.1 Adapter Overvoltage (ACOVP)
When the VCC pin voltage is higher than 26 V, it is considered adapter over voltage. ACOK is pulled low, and
charge is disabled. ACFET/RBFET are turned off to disconnect the high voltage adapter to system during
ACOVP. BATFET is turned on if turn-on conditions are valid.
When VCC voltage falls below 24 V, it is considered as adapter voltage returns back to normal voltage. ACOK is
pulled high by an external pullup resistor. BATFET is turned off and ACFET and RBFET is turned on to power
the system from the adapter.
7.3.2 System Power Selection
The bq24780S device automatically switches adapter or battery power to system. An automatic break-beforemake logic prevents shoot-through currents when the selectors switch.
The ACDRV drives a pair of common-source (CMSRC) N-channel power MOSFETs (ACFET and RBFET)
between adapter and ACP. The ACFET separates adapter from system and battery, and provides a limited di/dt
when plugging in adapter by controlling the ACFET turn-on time. Meanwhile, it protects the adapter when the
system or battery is shorted. The RBFET provides negative input voltage protection and battery discharge
protection when adapter is shorted to ground, and minimizes system power dissipation with its low R
DS(on)
compared to a Schottky diode.
When the adapter is not present, ACDRV is pulled to CMSRC to keep ACFET and RBFET off, disconnecting the
adapter from the system. BATDRV stays at V

conditions are valid:
•VCC> V
•V

SRN
+ 200 mV
•ACFET/RBFET off
After the adapter plugs in, the system power source switches from battery to adapter if all of the following
+ 6 V. If the ACFET/RBFET have been turned on for 20
CMSRC
ms, and the voltage across gate and source is still less than 5.7 V, ACFET and RBFET are turned off. After 1.3s
delay, it resumes turning on ACFET and RBFET. If such a failure is detected seven times within 90 seconds,
ACFET/RBFET are latched off and an adapter removal and system shut down is required to force ACDET < 0.6
V to reset the IC. After IC reset from latch off, ACFET/RBFET can be turned on again. After 90 seconds, the
failure counter is reset to zero to prevent latch off.
To turn off ACFET/RBFET, one of the following conditions must be valid:
•In LEARN mode and V
is above battery depletion threshold;
SRN
•ACOK low
To limit the adapter inrush current during ACFET turn-on, the Cgs and Cgd external capacitor of ACFET must be
carefully selected following the guidelines below:
•Minimize total capacitance on system
•Cgs should be 40× or higher than Cgd to avoid ACFET false turn on during adapter hot plug-in
•Fully turn on ACFET within 20 ms, otherwise, charger IC will consider turn-on failure
•Check with MOSFET vendor on peak current rating
•Place 4-kΩ resistor in series with ACDRV, CMSRC, and BATDRV pin to limit inrush current.
7.3.3 Enable and Disable Charging
In charge mode, the following conditions have to be valid to start charge:
•Charge is enabled through SMBus (REG0x12[0], default is 0, charge enabled)
•ILIM pin voltage is higher than 120 mV
•All ChargeCurrent(), ChargeVoltage() and InputCurrent() registers have valid value programmed
•ACOK is valid (see Device Power Up for details)
•ACFET and RBFET turn on and gate voltage is high enough (see System Power Selection for details)
•V
does not exceed BATOVP threshold
SRN
•IC temperature does not exceed TSHUT threshold
•Not in ACOC condition (see Device Protections Features for details)
One of the following conditions stops on-going charging:
•Charge is inhibited through SMBus(REG0x12[0]=1)
•ILIM pin voltage is lower than 60 mV
•One of three registers is set to 0 or out of range
•ACOK is pulled low (see Device Power Up for details)
•ACFET turns off
•V
exceeds BATOVP threshold
SRN
•TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached
•ACOC is detected (see Device Protections Features for details)
•Short circuit is detected (see Inductor Short, MOSFET Short Protection for details)
•Watchdog timer expires if watchdog timer is enabled (see Charger Timeout for details)
7.3.3.1 Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current
Every time the charge is enabled, the charger automatically applies soft-start on charge current to avoid any
overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The charge current starts at 128 mA, and
the step size is 64 mA in CCM mode for a 10 mΩ current sensing resistor. Each step lasts around 400 μs in
CCM mode, till it reaches the programmed charge current limit. No external components are needed for this
function.
During DCM mode, the soft start up current step size is larger and each step lasts for longer time period due to
the intrinsic slow response of DCM mode.
7.3.4.1 High Accuracy Current Sense Amplifier (IADP and IDCHG)
As an industry standard, a high-accuracy current sense amplifier (CSA) is used to monitor the input current
(IADP) and the discharge current (IDCHG). IADP voltage is 20X or 40X the differential voltage across ACP and
ACN. IDCHG voltage is 8X or 16X the differential voltage across SRN and SRP. After VCC is above UVLO and
ACDET is above 0.6 V, IADP output becomes valid. .
A maximum 100-pF capacitor is recommended to connect on the output for decoupling high-frequency noise. An
additional RC filter is optional, if additional filtering is desired. Note that adding filtering also adds additional
response delay. The CSA output voltage is clamped at 3.3 V. To lower the voltage on current monitoring, a
resistor divider from CSA output to GND can be used and accuracy over temperature can still be achieved
7.3.4.2 High Accuracy Power Sense Amplifier (PMON)
The bq24780S device monitors total available power from adapter and battery together. The ratio of PMON
voltage and total power K
allows input sense resistor 2x or 1/2x of charge sense resistor by setting REG0x3B[13:12] to 1.

7.3.5 Processor Hot Indication for CPU Throttling
When CPU is running turbo mode, the peak power may exceed total available power from adapter and battery.
The adapter current and battery discharge overshoot, or system voltage drop indicates the system power may be
too high. When the adapter or battery is removed, the remaining power source may not support the peak power
in turbo mode. The processor hot function in bq24780S monitors these events, and PROCHOT pulse is asserted.
The PROCHOT triggering events include:
•ICRIT: adapter peak current
•INOM: adapter average current (110% of input current limit)
•IDCHG: battery discharge current
•VSYS: system voltage on SRN for 2s - 4s battery
•ACOK: upon adapter removal (ACOK pin HIGH to LOW)
•BATPRES: upon battery removal (BATPRES pin LOW to HIGH)
•CMPOUT: Independent comparator output (CMPOUT pin HIGH to LOW)
The threshold of ICRIT, IDCHG or VSYS, and the deglitch time of ICRIT, INOM, IDCHG or CMPOUT are
programmable through SMBus. Each triggering event can be individually enabled in REG0x3D[6:0].
When any event in PROCHOT profile is triggered, PROCHOT is asserted low for minimum 10 ms (default
REG0x3C[4:3]=10). At the end of the 10 ms, if the PROCHOT event is still active, the pulse gets extended.
During one cycle of PROCHOT, all the triggering events are saved in status register REG0x3A[6:0] for easy test
debug and system optimization.
7.3.6 Converter Operation
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixed frequency voltage control scheme and internal type III
compensation network. The LC output filter gives a characteristic resonant frequency:
The resonant frequency, fo, is used to determine the compensation to ensure there is sufficient phase margin for
the target bandwidth. The LC output filter should be selected to give a resonant frequency of 10- to 20-kHz
nominal for the best performance. Suggested component value for a charge current of 800-kHz default switching
frequency is shown in Table 1:
Table 1. Suggest Component Value for Charge Current of 800-kHz Default Switching Frequency
CHARGE CURRENT2A3A4A6A8A
Output Inductor Lo (µH)6.8 or 8.25.6 or 6.83.3 or 4.73.32.2
Output Capacitor Co (µF)2020203040
Sense Resistor (mΩ)1010101010
Ceramic capacitors show a DC-bias effect. This effect reduces the effective capacitance when a DC-bias voltage
is applied across a ceramic capacitor, as on the output capacitor of a charger. The effect may lead to a
significant capacitance drop, especially for high output voltages and small capacitor packages. See the
manufacturer's data sheet about the performance with a DC bias voltage applied. It may be necessary to choose
a higher voltage rating or nominal capacitance value to get the required value at the operating point.
With sufficient charge current, the inductor current does not cross 0, which is defined as CCM. The controller
starts a new cycle with ramp coming up from 200 mV. As long as EAO voltage is above the ramp voltage, the
high-side MOSFET (HSFET) stays on. When the ramp voltage exceeds EAO voltage, HSFET turns off and lowside MOSFET (LSFET) turns on. At the end of the cycle, ramp gets reset and LSFET turns off, ready for the next
cycle. There is always break-before-make logic during transition to prevent cross-conduction and shoot-through.
During the dead time when both MOSFETs are off, the body-diode of the low-side power MOSFET conducts the
inductor current.
During CCM, the inductor current always flows and creates a fixed two-pole system. Having the LSFET turn-on
keeps the power dissipation low and allows safe charging at high currents.
7.3.6.2 Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)
During the HSFET off time when LSFET is on, the inductor current decreases. If the current goes to 0, the
converter enters DCM. Every cycle, when the voltage across SRP and SRN falls below 5 mV (0.5 A on 10 mΩ),
the undercurrent-protection comparator (UCP) turns off LSFET to avoid negative inductor current, which may
boost the system through the body diode of HSFET.
During DCM the loop response automatically changes. It changes to a single-pole system and the pole is
proportional to the load current.
7.3.6.3 Non-Sync Mode and Light Load Comparator
As the charge current is below 125 mA (on 10-mΩ sense resistor), the light load comparator keeps LSFET off.
The converter enters non-sync mode. With LSFET, body diode blocks negative current in the inductor so that no
current flows back to the input. As charge current rises above 250 mA, LSFET turns on again.
7.3.6.4 EMI Switching Frequency Adjust
The charger switching frequency can be adjusted 600 kHz or 1 MHz to solve EMI issues through SMBus
command REG0x12[9:8].
7.3.7 Battery LEARN Cycle
A battery LEARN cycle can be activated through the REG0x12[5]. When LEARN is enabled, the system receives
power from the battery instead of the adapter turning off ACFET/RBFET and turning on BATFET. The LEARN
function allows the battery to discharge in order to calibrate the battery gas gauge over a complete discharge
and charge cycle. The controller automatically exits the LEARN cycle when the battery voltage is below the
battery depletion threshold. The system switches back to adapter input by turning off BATFET and turning on
ACFET/RBFET. After the LEARN cycle, REG0x12[5] is automatically reset to 0.
When the battery is removed during LEARN mode, BATPRES rises from low to high and the device exits LEARN
mode. ACFET/RBFET quickly turns on in 100µs to prevent the system from crashing. The turn-on triggered by
BATPRES is faster than that triggered by battery depletion comparator.
7.3.8 Charger Timeout
The bq24780S device includes a watchdog timer to terminate charging or hybrid power boost mode if the charger
does not receive a write ChargeVoltage() or write ChargeCurrent() command within 175 s (adjustable through
0x12[14:13] command).
If a watchdog timeout occurs, all register values keep unchanged, but converter is suspended. A write to
ChargeVoltage(), or ChargeCurrent(), or change REG0x12[14:13] resets watchdog timer and resumes converter
for charging or hybrid power boost mode. The watchdog timer can be disabled, or set to 5, 88, or 175 s through
SMBus command REG0x12[14:13]).
The bq24780S device cannot maintain the input current level if the charge current has been already reduced to
0. When the input current exceeds 1.25x or 2x of ICRIT set point (with 12-ms blank-out time), ACFET/RBFET is
latches off and an adapter removal is required to force ACDET < 0.6 V to reset IC. After IC reset from latch off,
ACFET/RBFET can be turned on again.
The ACOC function threshold can be set to 1.25x or 2x of ICRIT (REG37[9]) current or disabled through SMBus
command (REG0x37[10]).
7.3.9.2 Charge Overcurrent Protection (CHGOCP)
The bq24780S device has cycle-by-cycle peak overcurrent protection. It monitors the voltage across SRP and
SRN, and prevents the current from exceeding the threshold based on the charge current set point. The highside gate drive turns off for the rest of the cycle when over current is detected, and resumes when the next cycle
starts.
The charge OCP threshold is automatically set to 6, 9, and 12 A on a 10-mΩ current sensing resistor based on
charge current register value. This prevents the threshold from being too high, which is not safe, or too low,
which can be triggered in typical operation. Select proper inductance to prevent OCP triggering in typical
operation due to high inductor current ripple.
7.3.9.3 Battery Overvoltage Protection (BATOVP)
The bq24780S device does not allow the high-side and low-side MOSFET to turn-on when the battery voltage at
SRN exceeds 104% of the regulation voltage set point. If BATOVP lasts over 30 ms, charger is completely
disabled. This allows a quick response to an overvoltage condition – such as when the load is removed or the
battery is disconnected. A 6-mA current sink from SRP to GND is only on during BATOVP and allows
discharging the stored output inductor energy that is transferred to the output capacitors.
7.3.9.4 Battery Short
When battery voltage on SRN falls below 2.5 V, the converter resets for 1 ms and resumes charge if all the
enable conditions in the Enable and Disable Charging section are satisfied. This prevents overshoot current in
the inductor, which can saturate the inductor and may damage the MOSFET. The charge current is limited to 0.5
A on 10-mΩ current sensing resistor when BATLOWV condition persists and LSFET keeps off. The LSFET turns
on only for a refreshing pulse to charge BTST capacitor.
7.3.9.5 Thermal Shutdown Protection (TSHUT)
The WQFN package has low thermal impedance, which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the
ambient, to keep junction temperatures low. As an added level of protection, the charger converter turns off for
self-protection whenever the junction temperature exceeds the 155°C. The charger stays off until the junction
temperature falls below 135°C. During thermal shutdown, the REGN LDO current limit is reduced to 14 mA.
Once the temperature falls below 135°C, charge can be resumed with soft start.
7.3.9.6 Inductor Short, MOSFET Short Protection
The bq24780S device has a unique short circuit protection feature. Its cycle-by-cycle current monitoring feature
is achieved through monitoring the voltage drop across RDS(on) of the MOSFETs after a certain amount of
blanking time. In case of a MOSFET short or inductor short circuit, the overcurrent condition is sensed by two
comparators and two counters are triggered. After seven short circuit events, the charger is latched off and
ACFET and RBFET are turned off to disconnect the adapter from the system. BATFET is turned on to connect
the battery pack to the system. To reset the charger from latch-off status, the IC VCC pin must be pulled below
UVLO or the ACDET pin must be pulled below 0.6 V. This can be achieved by removing the adapter and shutting
down the operation system. The low-side MOSFET Vds monitor circuit is enabled by REG0x37[7], and the
threshold is 750 mV. The high-side MOSFET Vds monitor circuit is enabled by REG0x37[6], and the threshold is
250 mV. During boost function, the low-side MOSFET short circuit protection threshold is used for cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, charger does not latch up.
Due to the amount of blanking time to prevent noise when MOSFET just turns on, the cycle-by-cycle charge
overcurrent protection may detect high current and turn off MOSFET first before the short circuit protection circuit
can detect short condition because the blanking time has not finished. In such a case, the charger may not be
able to detect a short circuit and the counter may not be able to count to seven then latch off. Instead the
charger may continuously keep switching with very narrow duty cycle to limit the cycle-by-cycle current peak
value. However, the charger should still be safe and does not cause failure because the duty cycle is limited to a
very short time and the MOSFET should still be inside the safety operation area. During a soft start period, it may
take a long time instead of just seven switching cycles to detect short circuit based on the same blanking time
reason.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Battery Charging
The bq24780S charges 1-4 cell battery in constant current (CC), and constant voltage (CV) mode. The host
programs battery voltage in REG0x15(). According to battery voltage, the host programs appropriate charge
current in REG0x14(). When battery is full or battery is not in good condition to charge, host terminates charge
by setting REG0x12[0] to 1, or setting either ChargeVoltage() or ChargeCurrent() to zero.
See the Feature Description section for details on charge enable conditions and register programming.
7.4.2 Hybrid Power Boost Mode
The bq24780S device supports the hybrid power boost mode by allowing battery discharge energy to system
when system power demand is temporarily higher than adapter maximum power level so the adapter does not
crash. After device powers up, the REG0x37[2] is 0 to disable hybrid power boost mode. To enable hybrid power
boost mode, host writes 1 to REG0x37[2]. The TB_STAT pin and REG0x37[1] indicate if the device is in hybrid
power boost mode.
To support hybrid power boost mode, input current must be set higher than 1536 mA for 10 mΩ input current
sensing resistor. When input current is higher than 107% of input current limit in REG0x3F(), charger IC allows
battery discharge and charger converter changes from buck converter to boost converter. During hybrid power
boost mode the adapter current is regulated at input current limit level so that adapter will not crash. The battery
discharge current depends on system current requirement and adapter current limit. The watchdog timer can be
enabled to prevent converter running at hybrid power boost mode for too long.
7.4.2.1 Battery Discharge Current Regulation in Hybrid Power Boost Mode
To keep the discharge current below battery OCP rating during boost mode, the bq24780S device supports
discharge current regulation. After device powers up, the REG0x37[15] is 0 to disable discharge current
regulation. To enable discharge current regulation, host writes 1 to REG0x37[15].
Once the battery discharge current is limited, the input current goes up to meet the system current requirement.
The user can assert PROCHOT to detect input current increase (ICRIT or INOM), and request CPU throttling to
lower the system power.
The bq24780S device operates as a slave, receiving control inputs from the embedded controller host through
the SMBus interface. The bq24780S device uses a simplified subset of the commands documented in SystemManagement Bus Specification V1.1, which can be downloaded from www.smbus.org. The bq24780S device
uses the SMBus read-word and write-word protocols (shown in Table 2 and Table 3) to communicate with the
smart battery. The bq24780S device performs only as a SMBus slave device with address 0b00010010 (0x12H)
and does not initiate communication on the bus. In addition, the device has two identification registers, a 16-bit
device ID register (0xFFH) and a 16-bit manufacturer ID register (0xFEH).
SMBus communication starts when VCC is above UVLO.
The data (SDA) and clock (SCL) pins have Schmitt-trigger inputs that can accommodate slow edges. Choose
pullup resistors (10 kΩ) for SDA and SCL to achieve rise times according to the SMBus specifications.
Communication starts when the master signals a start condition, which is a high-to-low transition on SDA, while
SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating, the master issues a stop condition, which is a low-tohigh transition on SDA, while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another transmission. Figure 7 and Figure 8
show the timing diagram for signals on the SMBus interface. The address byte, command byte, and data bytes
are transmitted between the start and stop conditions. The SDA state changes only while SCL is low, except for
the start and stop conditions. Data is transmitted in 8-bit bytes and is sampled on the rising edge of SCL. Nine
clock cycles are required to transfer each byte in or out of the bq24780S device because either the master or the
slave acknowledges the receipt of the correct byte during the ninth clock cycle. The bq24780S supports the
charger commands listed in Table 2.

To set the charge current, write a 16-bit ChargeCurrent() command (0x14H or 0b00010100) using the data
format listed in Table 12. With 10-mΩ sense resistor, the bq24780S device provides a charge current range of
128 mA to 8.128 A, with 64-mA step resolution. Upon POR, charge current is 0 A. Any conditions for ACOK low
except ACOV resets the ChargeCurrent() to 0. Sending ChargeCurrent() 0 mA terminates charge.
To provide secondary protection, the bq24780S has an ILIM pin with which the user can program the maximum
allowed charge current. Internal charge current limit is the lower one between the voltage set by
ChargeCurrent(), and the voltage on ILIM pin. To disable this function, the user can pull ILIM above 2 V, which is
the maximum charge current regulation limit. When ILIM is below 60 mV, battery charging is disabled. The
preferred charge current limit can be derived from below equation:
(3)
The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense RSRwith default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other values
can also be used. For a larger sense resistor, a larger sense voltage is given, and a higher regulation accuracy;
but, at the expense of higher conduction loss. If current sensing resistor value is too high, it may trigger an
overcurrent protection threshold because the current ripple voltage is too high. In such a case, either a higher
inductance value or a lower current sensing resistor value should be used to limit the current ripple voltage level.
A current sensing resistor value no more than 20 mΩ is suggested.

To set the output charge regulation voltage, write a 16-bit ChargeVoltage() command (0x15H or 0b00010101)
using the data format listed in Table 13. The bq24780S device provides charge voltage range from 1.024 to
19.200 V, with 16-mV step resolution. Upon POR, charge voltage limit is 0 V. Sending ChargeVoltage() 0 mV
terminates charge.
The SRN pin is used to sense the battery voltage for voltage regulation and should be connected as close to the
battery as possible, and directly place a decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF recommended) as close to IC as possible
to decouple high frequency noise.

7.6.11 Setting Input Current
System current normally fluctuates as portions of the system are powered-up or put to sleep. With the input
current limit, the output current requirement of the AC wall adapter can be regulated its rating, reducing system
cost.
The total input current, from a wall cube or other DC source, is the sum of the system supply current and the
current required by the charger. When the input current exceeds the set input current limit, the bq24780S device
decreases the charge current to provide priority to system load. As the system current rises, the available charge
current drops linearly to 0. Thereafter, charger goes into hybrid power boost mode and adds battery power to
support system load. During turbo-boost mode, input current stays in regulation.
During DPM regulation, the total input current is the sum of the device supply current I
current, and the system load current I
In the above equation, η is the efficiency the switching regulator and I

discharging current (positive for charging and negative for discharging). In charging mode, the charger converter
is in buck configuration. In turbo-boost mode, the charger converter is in boost configuration.
To set the input current limit, write a 16-bit InputCurrent() command (0x3FH or 0b00111111) using the data
format listed in Table 14. When using a 10-mΩ sense resistor, the bq24780S device provides an input-current
limit range of 128 mA to 8.064 A, with 128-mA resolution. Upon POR, default input current limit is 4096 mA on
10-mΩ current sensing resistor (RAC).
The ACP and ACN pins are used to sense RACwith default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other values
can also be used. For a larger sense resistor, larger sense voltage is given, and higher regulation accuracy, but
at the expense of higher conduction loss.

7.6.12 Setting the Discharge Current
To set the discharging current limit, write a 16-bit DischargeCurrent() command (0x39H or 0b00111111) using
the data format listed in Table 15. When using a 10-mΩ sense resistor, the bq24780S device provides a
discharge current limit range of 512 mA to 32.256 A, with 512-mA resolution. Upon POR, default discharge
current limit is 6.144 A on 10-mΩ current sensing resistor (RSR).
To provide secondary protection during battery discharge, the bq24780S has an ILIM pin with which the user can
program the maximum discharge current. Typically, the user sets the limit below battery pack over current
protection (OCP) threshold for maximum battery discharge capacity. Refer to battery specification for OCP
information. Internal discharge current limit is the lower one between the voltage set by DischargeCurrent(), and
the voltage on ILIM pin. To disable this function, the user can pull ILIM pin above 1.6V, which is the maximum
discharge current regulation limit. When ILIM is below 60mV, battery discharge is disabled. The preferred
discharge current limit can be derived from Equation 5.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The parameters are configurable using the evaluation software.
The simplified application circuit (see Figure 16) shows the minimum capacitance requirements for each pin.
Inductor, capacitor, and MOSFET selection are explained in the rest of this section. Refer to the EVM user's
guide (SLUUBA6) for the full application schematic.
8.2.2.1 Negative Output Voltage Protection
Reversely insert the battery pack into the charger output during production or hard shorts on battery to ground
will generate negative output voltage on SRP, SRN, and BATSRC pins. IC internal electrostatic-discharge (ESD)
diodes from GND pin to SRP or SRN pins and two anti-parallel (AP) diodes between SRP and SRN pins can be
forward biased and negative current can pass through the ESD diodes and AP diodes when output has negative
voltage. Small resistors for SRP, SRN and BATSRC (R12-R14) further limits the negative current into these pins.
Suggest resistor value is 10 Ω for SRP, SRN, and BATSRC pins.
8.2.2.2 Reverse Input Voltage Protection
Q6, R12, and R13 in Figure 17 give system and IC protection from reversed adapter voltage. In normal
operation, Q6 is turned off by negative Vgs. When adapter voltage is reversed, Q6 Vgs is positive. As a result,
Q6 turns on to short gate and source of Q2 so that Q2 is off. Q2 body diode blocks negative voltage to system.
However, CMSRC and ACDRV pins need R3 and R4 to limit the current due to the ESD diode of these pins
when turned on. Q6 must has low Vgs threshold voltage and low Qgs gate charge so it turns on before Q2 turns
on. R3 and R4 must have enough power rating for the power dissipation when the ESD diode is on. If Q1 is
replaced by Schottky diode for reverse adapter voltage protection, no extra small MOSFET and resistors are
needed.
8.2.2.3 Reduce Battery Quiescent Current
When the adapter is not present, if VCC is powered with voltage higher than UVLO directly or indirectly (such as
through a LDO or switching converter) from battery, the internal BATFET charge pump gives the BATFET pin 6V higher voltage than the SRN pin to drive the n-channel BATFET. As a result, the battery has higher quiescent
current. This is only necessary when the battery powers the system due to a high system current that goes
through the MOSFET channel instead of the body diode to reduce conduction loss and extend the battery
Figure 17. Reverse Input Voltage Protection Circuit
working life. When the system is totally shutdown, it is not necessary to let the internal BATFET charge pump
work. The host controller can turn off the switches in the battery pack to disconnect the battery from the system.
Some packs may wake up again if the voltage on SRN pin stays above pack UVLO too long. By setting
ChargeOption0() bit[1] to 1, host can enable current source inside charger IC to discharge the SRN pin quickly.
As a result, the system is discharged down to zero to minimize the quiescent current.
8.2.2.4 Inductor Selection
The bq24780S has three selectable fixed switching frequency. Higher switching frequency allows the use of
smaller inductor and capacitor values. Inductor saturation current should be higher than the charging current
(I
) plus half the ripple current (I
CHG
The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VIN), duty cycle (D = V
RIPPLE
):
(6)
OUT/VIN
), switching frequency (fS) and
inductance (L):
(7)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5 or close to 0.5. For example, the battery charging
voltage range is from 9V to 12.6V for 3-cell battery pack. For 20V adapter voltage, 10V battery voltage gives the
maximum inductor ripple current. Another example is 4-cell battery, the battery voltage range is from 12V to
16.8V, and 12V battery voltage gives the maximum inductor ripple current.
Usually inductor ripple is designed in the range of (20-40%) maximum charging current as a trade-off between
inductor size and efficiency for a practical design.
The bq24780S has charge under current protection (UCP) by monitoring charging current sensing resistor cycle-
by-cycle. The typical cycle-by-cycle UCP threshold is 5mV falling edge corresponding to 0.5A falling edge for a
10mΩ charging current sensing resistor. When the average charging current is less than 125mA for a 10mΩ
charging current sensing resistor, the low side MOSFET is off until BTST capacitor voltage needs to refresh the
charge. As a result, the converter relies on low side MOSFET body diode for the inductor freewheeling current.
8.2.2.5 Input Capacitor
Input capacitor should have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching ripple current. The worst case
RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate at
50% duty cycle, then the worst case capacitor RMS current occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50% and
can be estimated by Equation 8:
(8)
Low ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for input decoupling capacitor and should be
placed to the drain of the high side MOSFET and source of the low side MOSFET as close as possible. Voltage
rating of the capacitor must be higher than normal input voltage level. 25V rating or higher capacitor is preferred
for 19-20V input voltage. 10-20μF capacitance is suggested for typical of 3-4A charging current.
Ceramic capacitors show a dc-bias effect. This effect reduces the effective capacitance when a dc-bias voltage is
applied across a ceramic capacitor, as on the input capacitor of a charger. The effect may lead to a significant
capacitance drop, especially for high input voltages and small capacitor packages. See the manufacturer's data
sheet about the performance with a dc bias voltage applied. It may be necessary to choose a higher voltage
rating or nominal capacitance value in order to get the required value at the operating point.
8.2.2.6 Output Capacitor
Output capacitor also should have enough ripple current rating to absorb output switching ripple current. The
output capacitor RMS current is given:
The bq24780S has internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output
inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 10 kHz and 20 kHz. The preferred ceramic capacitor
is 25V X7R or X5R for output capacitor. 10-20μF capacitance is suggested for a typical of 3-4A charging current.
Place the capacitors after charging current sensing resistor to get the best charge current regulation accuracy.

applied across a ceramic capacitor, as on the output capacitor of a charger. The effect may lead to a significant

sheet about the performance with a dc bias voltage applied. It may be necessary to choose a higher voltage
rating or nominal capacitance value in order to get the required value at the operating point.
8.2.2.7 Power MOSFETs Selection
Two external N-channel MOSFETs are used for a synchronous switching battery charger. The gate drivers are
internally integrated into the IC with 6V of gate drive voltage. 30V or higher voltage rating MOSFETs are
preferred for 19-20V input voltage.
Figure-of-merit (FOM) is usually used for selecting proper MOSFET based on a tradeoff between the conduction
loss and switching loss. For the top side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of a MOSFET's on-resistance,
R

When charger operates in non-synchronous mode, the bottom-side MOSFET is off. As a result all the
freewheeling current goes through the body-diode of the bottom-side MOSFET. The body diode power loss
depends on its forward voltage drop (VF), non-synchronous mode charging current (I
The maximum charging current in non-synchronous mode can be up to 0.25A for a 10mΩ charging current
sensing resistor or 0.5A if battery voltage is below 2.5V. The minimum duty cycle happens at lowest battery
voltage. Choose the bottom-side MOSFET with either an internal Schottky or body diode capable of carrying the
maximum non-synchronous mode charging current.
8.2.2.8 Input Filter Design
During adapter hot plug-in, the parasitic inductance and input capacitor from the adapter cable form a second
order system. The voltage spike at VCC pin maybe beyond IC maximum voltage rating and damage IC. The
input filter must be carefully designed and tested to prevent over voltage event on VCC pin.
There are several methods to damping or limit the over voltage spike during adapter hot plug-in. An electrolytic
capacitor with high ESR as an input capacitor can damp the over voltage spike well below the IC maximum pin
voltage rating. A high current capability TVS Zener diode can also limit the over voltage level to an IC safe level.
However these two solutions may not have low cost or small size.
A cost effective and small size solution is shown in Figure 18. The R1 and C1 are composed of a damping RC
network to damp the hot plug-in oscillation. As a result the over voltage spike is limited to a safe level. D1 is used
for reverse voltage protection for VCC pin. C2 is VCC pin decoupling capacitor and it should be place to VCC pin
as close as possible. C2 value should be less than C1 value so R1 can dominant the equivalent ESR value to
get enough damping effect. R2 is used to limit inrush current of D1 to prevent D1 getting damage when adapter
hot plug-in. R2 and C2 should have 10us time constant to limit the dv/dt on VCC pin to reduce inrush current
when adapter hot plug in. R1 has high inrush current. R1 package must be sized enough to handle inrush current
power loss according to resistor manufacturer’s data sheet. The filter components value always need to be
verified with real application and minor adjustments may need to fit in the real application circuit.
When adapter is attached, and ACOK goes HIGH, the system is connected to adapter through ACFET/RBFET.
An external resistor voltage divider attenuates the adapter voltage before it goes to ACDET. The adapter detect
threshold should typically be programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery voltage, but lower than
the IC maximum allowed input voltage (ACOVP) and system maximum allowed voltage.
When adapter is removed, the system is connected to battery through BATFET. Typically the battery depletion
threshold should be greater than the minimum system voltage so that the battery capacity can be fully utilized for
maximum battery life.
10Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The switching node rise and fall times should be minimized for minimum switching loss. Proper layout of the
components to minimize high frequency current path loop (see Figure 33) is important to prevent electrical and
magnetic field radiation and high frequency resonant problems. Here is a PCB layout priority list for proper
layout. Layout PCB according to this specific order is essential.
1. Place input capacitor as close as possible to switching MOSFET’s supply and ground connections and use
shortest copper trace connection. These parts should be placed on the same layer of PCB instead of on
different layers and using vias to make this connection.
2. The IC should be placed close to the switching MOSFET’s gate pins and keep the gate drive signal traces
short for a clean MOSFET drive. The IC can be placed on the other side of the PCB of switching MOSFETs.
3. Place inductor input pin to switching MOSFET’s output pin as close as possible. Minimize the copper area of
this trace to lower electrical and magnetic field radiation but make the trace wide enough to carry the
charging current. Do not use multiple layers in parallel for this connection. Minimize parasitic capacitance
from this area to any other trace or plane.
4. The charging current sensing resistor should be placed right next to the inductor output. Route the sense
leads connected across the sensing resistor back to the IC in same layer, close to each other (minimize loop
area) and do not route the sense leads through a high-current path (see Figure 34 for Kelvin connection for
best current accuracy). Place decoupling capacitor on these traces next to the IC
5. Place output capacitor next to the sensing resistor output and ground
6. Output capacitor ground connections need to be tied to the same copper that connects to the input capacitor
ground before connecting to system ground.
7. Use single ground connection to tie charger power ground to charger analog ground. Just beneath the IC
use analog ground copper pour but avoid power pins to reduce inductive and capacitive noise coupling
8. Route analog ground separately from power ground. Connect analog ground and connect power ground
separately. Connect analog ground and power ground together using power pad as the single ground
connection point. Or using a 0Ω resistor to tie analog ground to power ground (power pad should tie to
analog ground in this case if possible).
9. Decoupling capacitors should be placed next to the IC pins and make trace connection as short as possible
10. It is critical that the exposed power pad on the backside of the IC package be soldered to the PCB ground.
Ensure that there are sufficient thermal vias directly under the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the
other layers.
11. The via size and number should be enough for a given current path.
See the EVM design for the recommended component placement with trace and via locations. For the WQFN
information, See SCBA017 and SLUA271.

bq24780S
SLUSC27C –APRIL 2015–REVISED MARCH 2017
Figure 34. Sensing Resistor PCB Layout
10.2.3 Layout Consideration for Short Circuit Protection
The bq24780S has a unique short circuit protection feature. Its cycle-by-cycle current monitoring feature is
achieved through monitoring the voltage drop across R
of the MOSFETs after a certain amount of blanking
DS(on)
time. For a MOSFET short or inductor short circuit, the over current condition is sensed by two comparators, and
two counters are triggered. After seven occurrences of a short circuit event, the charger will be latched off. To
reset the charger from latch-off status, reconnect the adapter. Figure 35 shows the bq24780S short circuit
protection block diagram.
Figure 35. Block Diagram of bq24780S Short Circuit Protection
In normal operation, the low side MOSFET current is from source to drain which generates a negative voltage
drop when it turns on, as a result the over current comparator can not be triggered. When the high side switch
short circuit or inductor short circuit happens, the large current of low side MOSFET is from drain to source and
can trigger low side switch over current comparator. The bq24780S senses the low side switch voltage drop
through the PHASE pin and GND pin.
The high-side FET short is detected by monitoring the voltage drop between ACP and PHASE. As a result, it not
only monitors the high side switch voltage drop, but also the adapter sensing resistor voltage drop and PCB trace
voltage drop from ACN pin of RACto charger high side switch drain. Usually, there is a long trance between input
sensing resistor and charger converting input, a careful layout will minimize the trace effect.
To prevent unintentional charger shut down in normal operation, MOSFET R
very important. Figure 36 shows a improvement PCB layout example and its equivalent circuit. In this layout, the
system current path and charger input current path is not separated, as a result, the system current causes
voltage drop in the PCB copper and is sensed by the IC. The worst layout is when a system current pull point is
after charger input; as a result all system current voltage drops are counted into over current protection
comparator. The worst case for IC is when the total system current and charger input current sum equals the
DPM current. When the system pulls more current, the charger IC tries to regulate the RACcurrent as a constant
current by reducing the charging current.

Figure 37 shows the optimized PCB layout example. The system current path and charge input current path is
separated, as a result the IC only senses charger input current caused PCB voltage drop and minimized the
possibility of unintentional charger shut down in normal operation. This also makes PCB layout easier for high
system current application.
The total voltage drop sensed by IC can be express as the following equation.

appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
