The API9221 has two supply inputs for highly integrated
portable applications, enabling charging from a USB host,
wall adapter, or car adapter.

protection (OVP) at 5.4V, and the VDC OVP is at 6.9V.
Above these levels, the non-operating device is protected
against damage up to 28V. For control and system start-up
the API9221 has a current limited linear regulator.
To protect the chip against excessive power dissipation,
temperature monitoring is integrated, which folds back the
current to a safe level. As the temperature rises, this foldback begins at 125°C without completely interrupting
charging.

The battery charge function is disabled when the
input is pulled to logic HIGH. This normally requires an
external pull-up resistor connected to the system
microcontroller I/O power supply. The API9221 has an
internal resistor connected from this pin to GND, typically
600k. In many applications a suitable pull-up resistor
value is 100k. When EN is pulled LOW or left open
circuit, charging is enabled as described below.
There are two open-drain logic outputs,
Each of these can use an external pull-up resistor to an
appropriate supply such as the microcontroller I/O
supply, or can be left open circuit. A suitable value is
100k. Alternatively these can each be used to drive an
indicator LED up to a maximum of 10mA.

be greater than the power-on threshold and less than the
overvoltage protection threshold.
The output CHG is LOW when the battery is charging,
but only until the End-of-Charge (EOC) condition is
reached. Together with other conditions as described
below, the voltage at the battery connection BAT is used
to control the charging current. In the EOC state, CHG
is HIGH to indicate that the charging phase has
completed and the battery voltage has reached 4.2V (±
1%). In this state, the charger remains active and is able
to supply load current and top up the battery as
necessary.
CHG may be re-set as described below
under Charge Conditions.
Auxiliary Outputs
The USB_BYP and VDC_LDO outputs are available
EN
independently of the
input state. This allows a host
controller to power up initially.
USB Bypass, USB_BYP
The output USB_BYP provides power from the USB
input when a valid power supply voltage is present at the
VUSB input. It is current limited to 400mA (nominally). It
is therefore safely limited in current and voltage within
the USB standard.
VDC Low dropout regulator VDC_LDO
This output provides a regulated 4.94V supply, up to
10mA, when a valid power supply voltage is present at
the VDC input.

Charging from Adapter Power (VDC pin)
The battery can be charged from an AC powered wall
adapter or in-car adapter at a current of up to 1.2A using
this input pin. The maximum charge current is set by an
external resistor, R
GND pins. If VDC is greater than the power-on threshold

rate dependent on the battery voltage.
When VDC input is as recommended, (4.5V to 6.7V), no
charge current is drawn from the VUSB input as VDC
takes precedence. Input operation below 4.5V is also
possible, but the charging rate may be affected.
The resistor R
according to
For example, a resistor value of 13k sets a charge
current of 0.525A. The recommended IVDC setting is
100mA to 1200mA.
The maximum charge current available may be otherwise
limited by the car/wall adapter current limit, by thermal
protection within the API9221, or by the r
FET in the VDC charging path. For example, if IVDC is
set to 1A, there is a voltage drop of 0.6V due the typical
r
of 600m at room temperature. Therefore, the
DS(ON)
voltage at the VDC input must be at least 4.8V to charge
the battery to 4.2V in the minimum time.
The VDC input is safe from damage up to 28V.
Charging from USB Power (VUSB pin)
The battery can be charged at a current of up to 0.5A
from this pin. In this case the maximum available charge
current is set by an external resistor R
IUSB
between the IUSB and GND pins. If VUSB is greater than
the power-on threshold voltage (VPO

For example, a resistor value of 22k sets a charge

The recommended IUSB setting is 46.5mA to 465mA.
The maximum charge current available may be otherwise
limited by the external USB current limit, or by thermal
protection within the API9221.
The R
of the FET in the USB charging path is
DS(ON)
typically 600m at room temperature. At the IUSB limit of
465mA, there is a voltage drop of nearly 0.3V.
Therefore, the voltage at the VUSB input must be at least
4.5V to charge the battery to 4.2V in the minimum time.
The VUSB input is safe from damage up to 28V.

End-of-Charge Current
During charging, as the battery voltage approaches the
regulated value of 4.2V, the charging current will begin to
decrease. Eventually the charging current settles to a
value just low enough to maintain the regulated voltage.

Accuracy
When the constant voltage phase has been reached, the

error over the ambient temperature range from -40°C to
+85°C.

USB_BYP current limit: The USB_BYP load current is

USB_BYP reverse blocking: If the voltage at USB_BYP

BAT reverse blocking: If the battery voltage is greater
than either VDC or VUSB, the relevant charge path is
turned off.
VDC_LDO reverse blocking: If the voltage at VDC_LDO
is greater than VDC, the linear regulator is turned off.
Thermal protection: When the junction temperature
reaches 125°C, a current foldback circuit is activated.
This effectively limits the power dissipation to a safe
level.
At each of the inputs VDC and VUSB, a local decoupling
capacitor is required to be connected to GND. A
minimum value of 1µF is recommended, ceramic type
X7R. (The USB standard sets an upper bound of
capacitance somewhat larger than this.)
