3 Introduction
The purpose of the reference board is to demonstrate DA9318 in a direct charging application.
The document covers a normal charging cycle, using an off-the-shelf charger IC and a charging cycle
with the direct charging enabled. Direct charging means connecting the travel adaptor (TA) directly to
the battery in the constant current charging phase. A block diagram of the DA9318 direct charging
reference board is shown in Figure 1.
The DA9318 direct charging reference board, see Figure 2, facilitates the measurement, evaluation,
and configuration of a battery charging cycle when connected to a TA that includes the iW1780H
primary side controller and iW676 secondary side controller chip set.
Dialog’s software package SmartCanvas™ uses a simple graphical user interface which enables
DA9318 to be controlled via the USB port of a PC. The mini USB connection is visible on the left side
of the board. When the cable is connected to the USB port of the PC the green LED (D1) is on.
The board contains jumper links, see Figure 6, to provide access to alternative configurations and
measurement test points. Most standard operating modes are evaluated with minimal link changes.

4 Functional Description
During direct charging the master charger of the battery operated device is bypassed and the TA is
directly connected to the battery.
The difference between normal charging and direct charging is illustrated in Figure 3.
In order for the direct charging to work, the TA has to have a configurable output voltage and current
limit.
Figure 3: Normal Charging (Top) and Direct Charging (Bottom)
4.1 Master Charger
The master charger is capable of handling a complete charging cycle without host interaction.
The input current limit is set via GPIOs and the charging current and dynamic power management
thresholds are set with external pull-down resistors.
The charging statuses are communicated via LEDs. The master charger can be enabled with the
nCE signal driven from the microcontroller. During direct charging the master charger is disabled.

4.2 Power Monitor
Two power monitor ICs (INA226), fitted on the DA9318 direct charging reference board, allow for
measurement of the master charger input voltage and input current, and for monitoring the battery
current and voltage.
That information is read out via the I2C interface and used in the control GUI software running on the
PC.
When direct charging is enabled, the DA9318 internal ADC is monitoring the input/output current and
input/output voltage.
Power monitoring is a safety feature associated with direct charging. The input power of the mobile
device has to be compared to the output power of the TA. A mismatch indicates a fault condition and
the charging has to be terminated.
4.3 Direct Charging
Reverse current protection (RCP) is enabled whenever DA9318 is not in the ACTIVE mode.
DA9318 is capable of starting up when V
V
IN2OUT_MAX
When the above conditions are satisfied the DA9318 can be enabled by writing CP_EN to allow for
direct charging. The TA voltage is set accordingly to allow an initial 6 A charge current into the
battery.
During direct charging the master charger is disabled.
. If V
is not within the accepted range during start-up, the start-up is aborted.

4.4 Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage protection (OVP) is needed for general protection of devices connected to VBUS.
TI TPD1S514, Fairchild FPF2280, and Kinetic KTS1682 can be used as they all are pinout
compatible parts with very similar feature sets.

For correct operation, connect the reference board to a USB port capable of supplying 500 mA.
5.2 USB Interface
The DA9318 direct charging board uses an ATMEL® SAM3U® microcontroller as the USB
transceiver, programmed to deliver the following functionalities:
2
● I
C control interfaces.
● Discrete digital IO control (General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) and dedicated functions).
5.2.1 USB Power and GUI Reset
The USB is powered by an on-board regulator (VR2), see Figure 7. Pressing the USB RESET switch
S3 shuts down the on-board regulator VR2, powering down the supply for the SAM3U (USB I2C
interface). This resets the GUI communication with the reference board.
Figure 7: USB Interface Connector and Reset Switch
Table 2: Power Configuration Switch
5.3 Power Supplies
The DA9318 direct charging board is powered up when a power source is connected to IN (J48). IN
operating voltage range is +5.5 V to +10.5 V.
The VDD_IO voltage is generated by an on-board regulator (VR1) supplied from the +5 V USB. By
default, the on-board generated VDD_IO is +1.8 V (J26 jumper is POP, J27 jumper is UNPOP):
● To change the on-board VDD_IO to +2.8 V, J27 must be fitted while J26 is UNPOP.
● To change the on-board VDD_IO to +3.3 V, J26 and J27 must be UNPOP.

6.2 Initial USB Connection
On connecting the USB to the PC for the first time, the SAM3U USB driver will request driver
updating/installation from the Windows operating system. On Windows 7 (32-bit) operating systems
(OS) the driver usually installs automatically. On Windows 7 (64-bit) machines it is common for the
complete driver installation to fail. If this happens, install the driver manually by following these steps:
1. Control Panel → Devices and Printers (double-click device with yellow exclamation sign).
2. Update Driver.
3. Browse my computer for driver software.
4. Select the Driver folder location: C:\Dialog Semiconductor\Power Management\DA9318
Reference GUI\Driver.
5. If Windows warns about the driver, select Install anyway.
6. Remove the USB cable and then re-insert it into the reference board.

7.2.2 Charging Status Indicators
The Status Indicators window, see Figure 16, displays the following information:
● Pre-Charge: When the battery voltage is below 3 V (V
lower charge current of 128 mA.
), the battery is pre-charged at a
BATLOW
● Constant-Current: When the battery voltage is above 3 V and below the constant voltage
threshold; this indicator will light green. This indictor will also light green in conjunction with the
Slave Charging indicator during direct charger.
● Constant-Voltage: When the battery voltage reaches the master charger constant voltage
termination voltage threshold, this indicator will light green indicating charger is in constant
voltage.
● Slave Charging: This indicator will light green when slave charging (DA9318) is enabled
indicating direct charging.
● DONE: This indicator will light green when charge cycle is complete.
The update actions are as follows:
● Read All Registers – even if the hardware device is not being actively polled then all the
registers can be polled once by pressing this button.

NOTE
The battery voltage should be less than 3.6 V to allow for a 6 A initial charge current.
NOTE
Unless the watchdog timer is serviced, it is recommended to disable it by disabling the Chgr Watchdog switch
while the master charger is enabled.
This is to ensure that the master charger does not initiate a power-on-reset when the watchdog timer has
expired. Indeed, when the watchdog timer has expired, the device returns to default mode and all registers are
reset to default values.
7.3.1 Operational Steps
The following operational steps assume that a battery is inserted initially and then the TA is inserted
to J81. In addition, J30 must be connected to the USB port of a computer for I2C communication
using the DA9318 Reference Board SmartCanvas GUI software.
The button or status indicator locations for each operational step are highlighted in Figure 23:
1. Click the Read All button, to read all registers to their current states.
2. Click the Send DFLT button, to send the default settings/
3. Click the No Faults button, to clear any faults.
4. Enable the Polling switch. The Constant-Current status indicator flags green, signaling that the
master charger is enabled.
5. Enable the Master/Slave switch. Direct charging is enabled via DA9318 and the Constant-
Current and Slave Charging status indicators flag green.
6. When the Constant-Voltage status indicator flags green, step down the TA CC Setting by
100 mA steps (or greater initially) until the minimum value is reached (400 mA). Note that for
each step the Constant-Voltage status indicator will alternately flag red and green as the battery
charges up.
7. When the TA CC Setting has reached the minimum value, disable the Master/Slave switch to
return to master charger until the DONE status indicator flags green, signaling the end of the
charge cycle.
