2A Switching Charger with NVDC

Power Path Management

For Single Cell Li+ Battery

DESCRIPTION

The MP2625 is a monolithic switch mode battery charger with power path management for single-cell Li-ion batteries in a wide range of tablet and other portable devices. It integrates a synchronous BUCK regulator to provide regulated voltage for powering the system output and at the same time charging the battery. This device supports both USB and high power DC adapter input. In USB mode, the input current limit can be programmed to 450mA or 825mA via the logic pins to cover the USB2.0 and USB3.0 specifications. When the adapter input is present, the input current can also be limited in order to avoid overloading of the DC adapter. Input current limit can be programmed up to 2A.

The smart power path management allows MP2625 to regulate the system voltage for powering an external load and charging the battery independently and simultaneously. This allows immediate system operation even under missing or deeply discharged battery. When the input current limit is reached, the system load is satisfied in priority, then the charger will take the remaining current to charge the battery. Additionally, the smart power path control allows an internal connection from battery to the system in order to supplement additional power to the load in the event the system power demand increases over the input limited power or the input is removed.

Notes:

1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.

2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-to-

ambient thermal resistance θ

, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (T

(MAX)-T

)/θ

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage.

3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its operating conditions.

4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Introduction

The MP2625 is a switching charger IC, with integrated smart power path management for powering the system and charging a single cell battery simultaneously and independently.

The MP2625 includes a high-voltage (up to 14V) input DC-DC step down converter for wide range of DC sources and USB inputs. It has precision average input current limit to make maximum use of the allowable input power. This feature allows fast charging when powering from an USB port, and ensures the input current never exceeds the input power specification especially when the input power comes from a USB port. Additionally, the input current limit threshold can be programmed by logic inputs or a resistor to ground from the ILIM pin.

The MP2625 implements an on-chip 40mΩ MOSFET which works as a full-featured linear charger with trickle charge, high accuracy constant current and constant voltage charge, charge termination, auto recharge, NTC monitor, built-in timer control, charge status indication, and thermal protection. The charge current can be programmed by an external resistor connected from the ISET pin to AGND. The IC limits the charge current when the die temperature exceeds 120°C.

The 40mΩ MOSFET works as an ideal diode to connecting the battery to the system load when the input power is not enough to power the system load. When the input is removed, the 40mΩ MOSFET is turned on allowing the battery to power up the system.

the combination of the system load and battery charger. The regulator contains input current measurement and control scheme to ensure the average input current remains below the level programmed via ILIM pin or logic inputs M0&M1. This meets the adapter capacity limit or stays in compliance with USB specification.

When the input voltage is higher than UVLO and 310mV higher than the battery voltage, input

turns low) and the DC-DC converter soft-starts. If the input power is sufficient to supply the combination of the system load and battery charger, and the input current limit loop is not triggered. The converter output voltage V

is fixed at 3.6V to power

the system immediately even when a drained battery is inserted to be charged. Figure 2 shows the relationship of V

vs. V

System voltage can also be regulated to any value between 3.6V to 4.4V by using a resistor divider on the SYSFB pin. This is shown as R6 and R7 in Figure 9. If the SYSFB is left floating, the system program is invalid, and V

SYS

regulated as Figure 2. The converter adopts fixed off-time control to

extend the duty cycle (close to 100%) when the input of the converter is close to V

SYS.

With smart power path management, the system load is satisfied in priority then the remaining current is used to charge the battery. The MP2625 will reduce charging current or even use power from the battery to satisfy the system load when its demand is over the input power capacity.

Close to 100% duty operation, BST refresh operation makes sure the driver voltage of the HS will be charged by turning on the LS until negative IL hit about 400mA. If the input power is insufficient to supply the combination of the system load and battery charger, the DC-DC converter will limit the total power requirement by restricting the input voltage, input current and the peak current through the MOSFET. The power path management will reduce the charge current to satisfy the external system load in priority. According to this feature, the USB specification is always satisfied first. Even if the charge current is set larger than the USB input current limit, the real charge current will be reduced as needed.

Input Limit State

If the input power is insufficient to supply the combination of the system load and battery charger, the MP2625 implements three input limit control loops to reduce the charge current and satisfy the external system load in priority. The input in this case might be limited as follows: input current limit, input voltage limit and DC-DC peak current limit.

Input Current Limit: When the system current is higher than the programmed input current limit the input current limit loop takes the control of the converter and regulates the input current at constant value. When the battery voltage is over

3.4V, the output voltage (V

) will drop down

SYS

according to the increase of the system current, and the charge current drops down after the BATT-to-SYS switch (40mΩ MOSFET) is fully on according to V

dropping down. During this

SYS

process, the system voltage is slightly higher than V

. When the battery voltage is lower

BATT

than 3.4V, to maintain the minimum system voltage and ensure the system operation, the input current limit control will pull down the charge current directly to reduce the load of the converter so that the system current is satisfied in priority.

Input Voltage Limit: A resistor divider from IN pin to VLIM pin to AGND is used for the input voltage limit control. When the voltage on VLIM pin hits the reference voltage of 1.52V, the output of the input voltage limit error amplifier will drop in

to control the operation duty. In this mode, the input voltage will be clamped according to the value set by the resistor divider. The control to the system voltage and charge current is the same as the one explained in the input current limit. Charge current drops down to satisfy the system current request first. This feature provides a second protection to the input power and ensures the safe operation of the input adapter. Even if a wrong adapter is inserted, the MP2625 can continue operation, providing the maximum power to its load. User can program the input voltage limit value through the resistor divider from IN to VLIM to AGND.

Peak Current Limit: The peak current of the high side switch of the DC-DC converter is sensed during every cycle, it is compared to the reference 4A, if the peak current hits the threshold, the peak current limit mode is triggered. The control of the charge current is the same with the above two limits.

Input Current Limit Setting

The current at ILIM is a precise fraction of the adapter input current. When a programming resistor is connected from ILIM to AGND, the voltage on ILIM represents the average input current of the PWM converter. And the input current approaches the programmed limit, ILIM voltage reaches 1.14V.

The average input current limit can be set through the resistor connecting from ILIM to AGND according to the following expression:

When USB input, the input current limit is set internally and the programmed value is invalid. The MP2625 provides typical of 450mA input current limit for USB2.0 specification and a typical of 825mA for USB3.0 specification respectively.

The user can choose to set the input current limit through the two logic pins M0 and M1 as shown in Table 1 according to its input specification.

Table 1―Input Current Limit Setting

Input Voltage Limit Setting

The input voltage can be limited at a value set by a resistor divider from IN pin to VLIM pin to AGND according to the following expression (Typical Application Circuit):

When the voltage on VLIM pin drops and hits the reference voltage 1.52V, the input voltage will be clamped to the setting value.

the battery charger may or may not be able to charge at the full programmed rate. The system load is always satisfied first over the battery charge current. If the system load requirement is low, the battery can be charged at full constant current.

When the battery voltage reaches the battery full threshold, the charger enters the “constant voltage mode” operation.

End of Charge (EOC) and Indication

In constant voltage charge mode, the battery voltage is regulated at 4.2V (when SYSFB is float or SYS is programmed higher than battery full threshold) and the charge current decreases naturally. Once the charge current hits the battery full threshold IBF (1/10 programmed charge current), the battery is fully charged and charge cycle is terminated.

If the charge current drops below IBF because of any limit condition, the MP2625 will come out of CV mode, and the charge full detection is invalid.

Battery Charger

The MP2625 completes charge operation consist of trickle charge, automatic charge termination, charge status indication, timer control, NTC indication, automatic recharge, and thermal limiting.

When the PWM converter is out of soft start, the battery charge cycle begins, the MP2625 first determines if the battery is deeply discharged. If the battery voltage is lower than the trick charge threshold (typical 3.0V), the battery charger starts in “trickle charge mode”. The trickle charge current is limited to 10% of the programmed charge current until the battery voltage reaches

3.0V. If the charge stays in the “trickle charging mode” for longer than 45 minutes, the “timer out” condition is triggered, the charge is terminated

_____________

and CHGOK

will start blinking to indicate that the battery is unresponsive. When the battery voltage is above 3.0V, the charger is operating at

“constant current mode.” The current delivered to

the battery will try to reach the value programmed by the ISET pin. Depending on the available input power and system load conditions,

A safe timer starts at the beginning of each new charge cycle and it monitors if the whole charge period is within the programmed time limit. After each charge cycle, when the battery is indicated as full, the timer counter will be reset. If the time is expired while the charging is still on going, the timer will force the MP2625 to terminate charging

If system voltage is programmed lower than 4.2V by the resistor divider at the SYSFB pin, the battery will be charged most close to V

the charge current reaches the IBF threshold. During charging, the PWM converter continues to

power the system at the same time, if the system load increases over the input current limit, the battery charger will change to “ideal diode mode”. Two comparators between V used to detect this condition. If V

can be calculated by monitoring the ISET pin voltage with the following formula:

Additionally, the actual battery charge current may be lower than the programmed current due to limited input power available and prioritization of the system load.

Battery charge full current threshold IBF is set internally at 10% of the programmed charge current. However, IBF has a 150mA maximum

limit which can not be exceeded.

Logic Control

Automatic Recharge

Once the battery charge cycle is completed, the MP2625 turns off indicating the battery full status. During this process, the battery power may be consumed by the system load or self discharge. If the input power is always on, to ensure the battery not to be exhausted, the new charge cycle will automatically begin when the battery voltage falls below the auto-recharge threshold V

which is typically 4V when the SYSFB is

RCHG

float, and 50mV lower if the SYSFB is connected to a resistor divider. The timer will re-start when the auto-recharge cycle begins.

During the charge off state when the battery is fully charged, if the input power is recycled, or the EN signal is refreshed, the charge cycle will re-start and the timer will refresh even if the battery voltage is above the auto-recharge threshold.

Charge Current Setting

The charge current of the MP2625 is programmed using a single resistor from ISET pin to ground. The program resistor and charge current are calculated using the following equations:

The ISET pin can be also used to control the operation of the charger. Setting ISET pin floating will disable the charger function while the output of PWM converter will continue supply power to system. On the other hand, a resistor from ISET to AGND will enable the charging at the programmed charge current.

The logic control of the ISET pin of the MP2625 can be realized as Figure 4. In this way, the user can choose logic low to be “on” signal or logic high to be ”off” signal with a N-MOSFET.

Timer Setting

The MP2625 uses an internal timer to terminate charge if the timer times out. The timer duration is programmed by an external capacitor at the TMR pin and related to the real charge current.

The trickle mode charge time is:

The total charge time is:

The above equations are based on 1A charge current. As a result of power path management control, charge current might vary during normal operation, under this condition, the MP2625 automatically takes into account this variation and adjust the timer period accordingly.

When the charge current is set larger than 1A, the safe timer period is reduced accordingly with the same TMR capacitor. If the charge current is reduced because of insufficient input power, the timer period is increased proportionally by the same rate at which the charge current is reduced. If charge is stopped due to high system load, the timer is temporarily suspended.

This feature avoids indicating a false trigger indication for bad battery indication when there is little charge current delivered to the battery as a result of the insufficient input power.

NTC Thermistor

The NTC pin allows MP2625 to sense the battery temperature using the Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) thermistor usually available in the battery pack to ensure safe operating environment of the battery. A resistor with appropriate value should be connected from VCC to NTC and the NTC resistor is from NTC pin to AGND. The voltage on NTC pin is determined by the resistor divider whose divide ratio as the different resistance of the NTC thermistor depends on the ambient temperature of the battery.

The MP2625 has an internal NTC voltage comparator to set the upper and lower limit of the divide ratio. If NTC pin voltage falls out of this range it means the temperature is outside the safe operating range,

As a result, The MP2625 will stop charging and report it on indication pins. Charging will automatically resume after the temperature falls back into the safe range.

Thermal Protection

The MP2625 implements thermal protection to prevent the thermal damage to the IC or surrounding components. An internal thermal sense and feedback loop will automatically decrease the charge current when the dietemperature rises to about 120oC. This function is referred as charge current thermal fold-back. This feature protects the MP2625 from excessive temperature due to high power operation or high ambient thermal conditions. Another benefit of this feature is charge current can be set according to the requirement rather than worstcase conditions for a given application with the assurance of safe operation. The MP2625 will stop charging if the junction temperature rises

above 150oC as the IC enters thermal shutdown protection.

Ideal Diode Mode

If the system current requirement increases over the preset limit of the PWM converter, the additional current will be drawn from the battery via the BATT-to-SYS switch. To avoid very large currents being drawn from the battery which might affect the reliability of the device, the MP2625 controls the charge switch to work at the ideal diode mode regulating V when V Only when V

charger switch exits the ideal diode mode, and the charge cycle softly restarts.

Battery Discharge Protection

When the input power is removed or invalid, the system load will draw power from the battery via the battery switch. Under this condition, the battery switch is fully on to minimize the power loss. The MP2625 integrates battery discharge protection. If the battery discharge current is larger than the discharge current limit threshold I

(3.3A), the current will be regulated at the

DIS

preset limited value. And if the current increases further, the SYS voltage starts to decrease. When V V

, SYS short condition is detected. Under this

BATT

drops to about 800mV lower than

SYS

condition, the discharge current is limited at 200mA. In the event of a short from system to GND the discharge current from the battery to the system is also limited to 200mA.

Furthermore, battery voltage UVLO is always monitored. If the battery voltage is lower than the battery UVLO threshold, the battery switch is turned off immediately. This feature makes sure the battery from over-discharged.

regulated at constant 3.6V. When the input source is overloaded, either the

current exceeds the input current limit or the voltage falls below the input voltage limit, the MP2625 then reduces the charge current until the input current falls below the input current limit and the input voltage rises above the input voltage limit. If the system current increases beyond the power allowed by the input source, additional power will be drawn from the battery

via an on-chip 40mΩ MOSFET working as an ideal diode.

Additionally, if the input source is removed, the MP2625 will turn on the 40mΩ MOSFET allowing the battery to power the system load to keep the operation of the portable device.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

COMPONENT SELECTION

Setting the Input Current Limit

Connect a resistor from the ILIM pin to AGND to program the input current limit for different input ports. The relationship between the input current limit and setting resistor is as following:

(1)

Where RILIM is greater than 22.8k, so that IILIM is not over 2A.

For USB input, the input current limit is set by the M0 and M1 logic, the setting resistor by ILIM pin is invalid.

Setting the Charge Current

connecting from the ISET pin to AGND

ISET

sets the charge current (ICHG). The relationship between the charge current and setting resistor is as following:

(2)

Assume I

=2A, thus: R

CHG

=1.05kΩ.

ISET

Usually in USB mode, the charge current is always set over the USB input limit specification. Then the MP2625 regulates the input current constant at the limitation value. Thus the real CC charge current is not the setting value, it varies with different input and battery voltages. The maximum CC charge value can be calculated as:

(3)

Where VTC is trickle charge threshold (3V) and η is the current charge efficiency. Assume VIN=5.5V, IILIM=1A, η=83%, thus ICC_MAX=1.52A. Figure 7 shows a calculating charge current curve by limiting the input current limit.

Figure 7—I

Current Limit

Setting the Input Voltage Limit

The input clamp voltage is set using a resistive voltage divider from the input voltage to VLIM pin. The voltage divider divides the input voltage down to the limit voltage by the ratio:

(4)

Thus the input voltage is:

(5)

The voltage clamp reference voltage V

VLIM

1.52V, and a typical value for R2 can be 10kΩ. With this value, R1 can be determined by:

(6)

For example, for a 4.65V input limit voltage, R2 is 10kΩ, and R1 is 20.6kΩ.

Setting the System Voltage

The system voltage can be regulated to any value between 3.6V to 4.4V by the resistor divider on SYSFB pin as R6 and R7 in Figure 9.

(7)

Where V

SYS_REF

is 1.152V, the reference voltage

of SYS. With a typical value for R7, 10kΩ, R6 can be determined by:

For example, for a 4.2V system voltage, R7 is 10kΩ, and R6 is 26.5kΩ.

Selecting the Inductor

Inductor selection trades off among cost, size, and efficiency. A lower inductance value corresponds to a smaller size, but results in higher ripple currents, higher magnetic hysteretic losses, and higher output capacitances. Choosing 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 30% of the maximum load current under worst cases conditions. For the MP2625 operating with a typical 5V input voltage, the maximum inductor current ripple occurs at the corner point between trickle charge and CC charge (VBATT=3V). Estimate the required inductance as:

(H) (9)

(mA) (10)

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 C2 from the typical application circuit is in parallel with the SYS load. C2 absorbs the high-frequency switching ripple current and smoothes the output voltage. Its impedance must be much less than that of the system load to ensure it properly 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 voltage ripple is given by:

(12)

In order to guarantee the ±0.5% system voltage accuracy, the maximum output voltage ripple must not exceed 0.5% (e.g. 0.1%). The maximum output voltage ripple occurs at the minimum system voltage and the maximum input voltage.

Where VIN, VBATT, and fS are the typical input voltage, the TC to CC charge threshold, and the switching frequency, respectively. ΔI

L_MAX

is the

maximum inductor ripple current, which is usually 30% of the CC charge current.

For ICHG=2A, VIN=5V, VBATT=3V and fs=1.6MHz, the calculated inductance is 1.3µH. The maximum inductor peak current exceeds 2.3A. To optimize efficiency, chose an inductor with a

DC resistance less than 50mΩ. Choose the

inductor 7447745012 from Wurth with ratings at L=1.2µH/4.6A /21mΩ.

Selecting the Input Capacitor

The input capacitor C1 from the typical application circuit absorbs the maximum ripple current from the PWM converter, which is given by

(A) (11)

For ICC_MAX=2A, VTC=3V, VIN_MAX=14V, the maximum ripple current is 1A. Select the input

For VIN=14V, V

SYS_MIN

=3.6V, L=1.2µH, fS=1.6MHz, r =0.1%, the output capacitor can be calculated as:

(13)

We can then choose a 22µF ceramic capacitor.

Resistor Choose for NTC Sensor

Figure 8 shows an internal resistor divider reference circuit to limit the low temperature threshold and high temperature threshold at 65%·VCC and 33.5%·VCC, respectively. For a given NTC thermistor, select appropriate RT1 and RT2 to set the NTC window.

RT1 and RT2 values depend on the type of the NTC resistor:

(17)

For example, for the thermistor NCP18XH103, it has the following electrical characteristic:

PCB Layout Guideline

It is important to pay special attention to the PCB layout 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 current sense resistor trace.

Keep the switching node short and away from all small control signals, especially the feedback network.

Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the IN and PGND pins.

Place the output inductor close to the IC and connect the output capacitor between the inductor and PGND of the IC.

2) For high-current applications, the balls for the power pads (IN, SW, SYS, BATT and PGND) should be connected to as much copper in the board as possible. This improves thermal performance because the board conducts heat away from the IC.

At 0°C, R

NTC_Cold

At 50°C, R The following equations are derived assuming

that the NTC window is between 0°C and 50°C. According to the above equations to calculate RT1=6.47kΩ and RT2=21.35kΩ.

= 27.445kΩ;

= 4.1601kΩ.

NTC_Hot

3) The PCB should have a ground plane connected directly to the return of all components through vias (two vias per capacitor for power-stage capacitors, one via per capacitor for small-signal components). It is also recommended to put vias inside the PGND pads for the IC, if possible. A star ground design approach is typically used to keep circuit block currents isolated (high-power/low-power small-signal) which reduces noise-coupling and ground-bounce issues. A single ground plane for this design gives good results. With this small layout and a single ground plane, there is no ground-bounce issue, and having the components segregated minimizes coupling between signals.
