The MP2611 is a monolithic switching charger
with built-in power MOSFETs for a single-cell
Li-Ion battery pack. It achieves up to a 2Acharge current that can be programmed
through an accurate sense resistor over the
whole input range. It can operate from separate
inputs for USB or AC adapter: For USB input,
the input current limit can be programmed to
500mA and 900mA through the USBM pin to
cover both USB2.0 and USB3.0 standards.
The MP2611 regulates the charge current and
battery voltage using two control loops to
realize highly accurate constant-current charge
and constant-voltage charge. A 100% duty
cycle can be achieved when battery voltage is
close to the input voltage due to the high-side
P-Channel MOSFET.
Battery charge temperature and charging status
are always monitored for each condition. Two
status-monitor output pins indicate the battery
charging status and input status. The MP2611
also features internal reverse-blocking
protection.
The MP2611 is available in a 3mm x 4mm
QFN14 package.

MP2611 – 2A, 1-CELL SWITCHING CHARGER FOR USB AND ADAPTER POWER
OPERATION
The MP2611 is a monolithic switching charger
with built-in power MOSFETs for a single-cell LiIon battery pack. It achieves up to a 2A charge
current that can be programmed through an
accurate sense resistor over the whole input
range. It can operate with separate inputs for
USB and AC adapter: For USB mode, the input
current limit can be programmed to 500mA and
900mA via the USBM-pin for both USB2.0 and
USB3.0.
Charge Cycle (Trickle ChargeÆ CC ChargeÆ
CV Charge)
The MP2611 regulates the charge current (I
and battery voltage (V
) using two control
BATT
loops to realize highly-accurate constant current
(CC) charge and constant voltage (CV) charge.
The device uses the resistor RS1 to sense the
battery charge current and amplifies the signal
using the internal amplifier A3 (Figure 1). The
charge starts in trickle-charge mode (TC, 10% of
the constant current I
) until the battery voltage
CC
reaches 3V. If the charger stays in the tricklecharge mode until it triggers a time-out condition,
the charging terminates. Otherwise, the charger
operates in constant-current charging mode. The
COMPI voltage, regulated by the amplifier GMI,
determines the duty cycle.
CHG
)
ACIN and USBIN Detection
There are two separate battery charger inputs;
ACIN for the AC adapter, and USBIN for the USB
port.
ACIN is used as the battery-charger primary
power supply. As soon as the ACIN voltage
exceeds ACIN UVLO (3.75V), Q1 turns on and
Q2 turns off. The adapter charges the battery
with up to 2A constant charge current through the
step-down DC/DC converter implemented by Q1
and Q3. The charge current can be set by RS1.
If the ACIN input is absent or less than 3.75V, the
USBIN can act as the power supply for the
battery charger: Q1 turns off and Q2 turns on.
USB supply mode uses the input current limit
loop so that the threshold can be programmed by
connecting a resistor R
from the USBM-pin to
ILIM
AGND.
When ACIN and USBIN are both absent, Q1 and
Q2 are completely off and the reverse blocking
function blocks the battery reverse-leakage
current to the input port.
Note that if ACIN and USBIN are both present,
the device selects the AC adapter as the power
supply of the charger. However, avoid this
practice.
DC/DC Converter
When the battery voltage rises to the constantvoltage mode threshold, the amplifier GMV
regulates the COMP-pin and the duty cycle.
Consequently, the charger operates in constantvoltage mode.
The MP2611 integrates both the high-side switch
and the synchronous low-side switch, which
provides high efficiency and eliminates the
external Schottky diode.
During normal operation, the high-side switch
turns on for a period of time to ramp-up the
inductor current at each rising edge of the
internal oscillator, and switches off when the
peak inductor current rises above the COMP
voltage. Once the high-side switch turns off, the
synchronous switch turns on immediately and
stays on until the next cycle starts (see Figure 1).
The device allows the high-side switch to remain
on for more than one switching cycle and
increases the duty cycle while the input voltage
drops close to the output voltage. When the duty
cycle reaches 100%, the high-side switch is held
on continuously to deliver current to the output.

Charge-Full Termination and Auto-Recharge
When the charge current drops below the
termination threshold (I
) during the CV charge
BF
phase, the charger ceases charging and the
STAT1
-pin becomes an open drain. The timer
will also be reset and turned off. If the battery
voltage falls below 4.0V, auto-recharge begins
and the timer
restarts a new charge cycle.
Charger Status Indication
STAT1
and
STAT2
are two open-drain NMOS
outputs that must connect to the VREF33 output
or some other bias power supply through pull-up
resistors. Their output logic level combinations
indicate three status of the charger:

Safety Timer Operation
The MP2611 adopts an internal timer to
terminate charging if the timer times out. An
external capacitor on the TMR-pin programs the
timer duration.

following conditions occurs:

Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC)
Thermistor
The MP2611 has a built-in NTC window
comparator that allows it to sense the battery
temperature via the thermistor packed internally
in the battery. It ensures a safe battery operating
environment. Connect an appropriately-valued
resistor from VREF33 to the NTC-pin and
connect the thermistor from the NTC-pin to
AGND. The resistor divider with a dividing ratio
depends on the battery temperature determins
the voltage on the NTC-pin. Once the voltage at
the NTC-pin is out of the NTC window, the
MP2611 stops charging. The charger restarts if
the voltage re-enters the NTC window range.
Short Circuit Protection
The MP2611 has an internal comparator to check
for battery short circuit. Once V
falls below 2V,
BATT
the device detects a battery-short status and the
cycle-by-cycle peak current limit falls to about 2A
to limit the current spike during the battery-short
transition. Furthermore, the switching frequency
also folds back to minimize the power loss.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
To prevent the chip from overheating during
charging, the MP2611 monitors the junction
temperature, T
thermal shutdown threshold (T
, of the die. Once TJ reaches the
J
SHTDWN
) of 150°C,
the charger converter turns off. Charging restarts
when T
falls below 130°C.

Selecting the Inductor
Inductor selection trades off between cost, size,
and efficiency. A lower inductance value
corresponds with smaller size, but results in
higher ripple currents, higher magnetic hysteretic
losses, and higher output capacitances. However,
a higher inductance value benefits from lower
ripple current and smaller output filter capacitors,
but results in higher inductor DC resistance (DCR)
loss. From a practical standpoint, the inductor
ripple current does not exceed 15% of the
maximum charge current under worst cases. For
a MP2611 with a typical 5V input voltage, the
maximum inductor current ripple occurs at the
corner point between trickle charge and CC
charge (V
=3V). Estimate the required

maximum ripple current is 1A. Select the input
capacitors so that the temperature rise due to the
ripple current does not exceed 10°C. Use
ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics
because of their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. For most applications, use a 22µF
capacitor.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor—C4 from the typical
application circuit—is in parallel with the battery.
C4 absorbs the high-frequency switching ripple
current and smoothes the output voltage. Its
impedance must be much less than that of the
battery to ensure it absorbs the ripple current.
Use a ceramic capacitor because it has lower
ESR and smaller size that allows us to ignore the
ESR of the output capacitor. Thus, the output

PCB Layout Guide
PCB layout is important to meet specified noise,
efficiency and stability requirements. The
following design considerations can improve
circuit performance:
1) Route the power stage adjacent to their
grounds. Aim to minimize the high-side
switching node (SW, inductor), trace lengths
in the high-current paths and the currentsense resistor trace. Keep the switching
node short and away from the feedback
network.
2) The exposed thermal pad on the backside of
the MP2611 package must be soldered to
the PGND plane. There must be sufficient
thermal vias underneath the IC connected to
the ground plane on the other layers.
3) Connect the charge current sense resistor to
CSP (pin 9), BATT (pin 8) with a Kelvin
contact. Minimize the length and area of this
circuit loop.
4) Place the input capacitor as close as
possible to the ACIN/USBIN and PGND pins.
Place the output inductor close to the IC as
and connect the output capacitor between
the inductor and PGND of the IC. This
minimizes the current path loop area from
the SW pin through the LC filter and back to
the PGND pin.
MP2611 – 2A, 1-CELL SWITCHING CHARGER FOR USB AND ADAPTER POWER
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Power-Path Management
Power-path applications require powering the
system while simultaneously charging the battery.
Traditional designs adopt the simplest battery-fed
topology that connects the system to the battery
directly. An obvious drawback is that it cannot
operate the system with a drained battery.
Figure 7 shows an improved battery-fed topology.
The additional circuit between the current sense
resistor and the battery works like a variable
resistor. While the battery voltage is less than the
preset threshold (less than V
MOSFET Q1 turns off. The 5 resistor, R
of 3V), the
TC
, is
P
then in series with the battery to raise the system
voltage to 1V (I
=0.2A assumed). As a result,
TC
the system can also operate at low battery
voltage. While the battery voltage is high enough,
Q1 turns on to short though the R
resistor to
P
reduce power loss.
The power-path auto-selection topology shown in
Figure 8 adopts external switches to decouple
the system supply and battery charging process.
Thus the adapter directly powers the system
independent of the battery’s state as long as the
adapter is plugged in. If the adapter is absent,
Figure 8: Power-Path Auto-Selection Structure
the battery supplements the system.
Replace M1 and M2 with a power diode each, to
reduce the costs. However, the efficiency may
decline due to the forward voltage drop of the
diode. Even USBIN is not used, a least 4.7F
capacitor is necessary connecting the pin to GND.
MP2611 – 2A, 1-CELL SWITCHING CHARGER FOR USB AND ADAPTER POWER
Single Input Port Application
For some portable devices, only one input port
that covers both AC adapter and USB port is
adopted. The charger is then required to identify
the input source (AC adapter or USB port) via an
external logic signal from MODE-pin. MODE-pin
pulled high indicates an AC adapter is connected,
low indicates an USB port source.
Figure 9 shows a single input port application
circuit. The MOSFET M1 is used to alter the input
source. High-level voltage at MODE-pin turns on
the M1 and the charger is then switched from
USB input mode to AC input mode. The capacitor
C5 and R5 are necessary to realize the soft-start
of voltage at ACIN, increase the value if the
recommended value in Figure 9 does not work.
Figure 9: Single Input Port Application Circuit –1
Figure 10 shows another single input port
application circuit. For the AC adapter input, the
high-level signal at MODE-pin turns on the M1 to
connect the parallel resistor R4 at USBM-pin.
Due to the increased input current limitation,
charge current is enlarged. Please refer to the

Input OVP Application
For MP2611, the maximum rating of input voltage
is only 7.5V. In order to prevent an unmatched
adapter from being connected to damage this
part, the input over-voltage protection (OVP) is
required. Figure 11 shows the application circuit
for the input OVP, where the OVP threshold can
be programmed via the resistor divider consist of
R4 and R5. For the given parameters below, the
OVP threshold is 6.2V and maximum input rating
is extended to 18V (Limited by the TLVH431).
