The MB3878 is a DC/DC converter IC suitable for down-conversion, using pulse-width (PWM) charging and
enabling output voltage to be set to any desired level from one cell to four cells.
These ICs can dynamically control the secondary batter y’s charge current by detecting a voltage drop in an AC
adaptor in order to keep its power constant (dynamically-controlled charging).
The charging method enables quick charging, f or example, with the A C adaptor during operation of a notebook PC
The MB3878 provides a broad power supply voltage range and low standby current as well as high efficiency,
making it ideal for use as a built-in charging device in products such as notebook PC.
This product is covered by US Patent Number 6,147,477.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
■■■■
1.DC/DC Converter Unit
(1) Reference voltage block (Ref)
The reference voltage generator uses the voltage supplied from the VCC terminal (pin 18) to generate a temperature-compensated, stable voltage (5.0V Typ) used as the reference supply voltage for the IC’s internal
circuitry.
This pin can also be used to obtain a load current to a maximum of 1mA from the reference voltage VREF
terminal (pin 6).
(2) Triangular wave oscillator block (OSC)
The triangular wave oscillator b uilds the capacitor for frequency setting into, and generates the triangular wave
oscillator waveform by connecting the frequency setting resistor with the RT terminal (pin 17).
The triangular wave is input to the PWM comparator on the IC.
(3) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.1)
This amplifier detects the output signal from the current detector ampifier (Current amp .1), compares this to the
+INE1 terminal (pin 9), and outputs a PWM control signal to be used in controlling the charging current.
In addition, an arbitrary loop gain can be set up by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor between the
FB1 terminal (pin 7) and -INE terminal (pin 8), providing stable phase compensation to the system.
(4) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.2)
This amplifier (Error Amp.2) detects voltage pendency of the AC adaptor and outputs a PWM control signal.
In addition, an arbitrary loop gain can be set by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor from the FB2
terminal (pin 5) to the -INE2 terminal (pin 4) of the error amplifier, enabling stable phase compensation to the
system.
(5) Error amplifier block (Error Amp.3)
This error amplifier (Error Amp. 3) detects the output voltage from the DC/DC converter and outputs the PWM
control signal. External output voltage setting resistors can be connected to the error amplifier inverse input pin
to set the desired level of output voltage from 1 cell to 4 cells.
In addition, an arbitrary loop gain can be set by connecting a feedback resistor and capacitor from the FB3
terminal (pin 15) to the −INE3 terminal (pin 16) of the error amplifier, enabling stable phase compensation to the
system.
Connecting a soft-start capacitor to the CS terminal (pin 22) prevents surge currents when the IC is turned on.
Using an error amplifier for soft-start detection makes the soft-start time constant, independent of the output load.
(6) Current detector amplifier block (Current Amp.1)
The current detection amplifier (Current Amp.1) detects a voltage drop which occurs between both ends of the
output sense resistor (R
−INC1 terminal (pin 12). Then it outputs the signal amplified by 25 times to the error amplifier (Error Amp.1) at
the next stage.

S) due to the flow of the charge current, using the +INC1 terminal (pin 13) and
MB3878
(7) PWM comparator block (PWM Comp.)
The PWM comparator circuit is a voltage-pulse width conver ter for controlling the output duty of the error
amplifiers (Error Amp. 1 to Error Amp. 3) depending on their output voltage.
The PWM comparator circuit compares the triangular wave generated by the triangular wave oscillator to the
error amplifier output voltage and turns on the external output transistor during the interval in which the triangular
wave voltage is lower than the error amplifier output voltage.
(8) Output block (OUT)
The output circuit uses a totem-pole configuration capable of driving an external P-channel MOS FET.
The output “L” level sets the output amplitude to 5 V (Typ) using the voltage generated by the bias v oltage b lock
(VH).
This results in increasing conversion efficiency and suppressing the withstand v oltage of the connected external
transistor in a wide range of input voltages.
(9) Control block (CTL)
Setting the CTL terminal (pin 14) low places the IC in the standby mode. (The supply current is 10 µA at maximum
in the standby mode.)
(10) Bias voltage block (VH)
The bias voltage circuit outputs Vcc − 5 V (Typ) as the minimum potential of the output circuit. In the standby
mode, this circuit outputs the potential equal to Vcc.
2.Protection Functions
Under voltage lockout protection circuit (UVLO)
The transient state or a momentary decrease in supply voltage or internal reference voltage (VREF), which
occurs when the power supply is turned on, may cause malfunctions in the control IC, resulting in breakdown
or degradation of the system. To prevent such malfunction, the under voltage lockout protection circuit detects
a supply voltage or internal reference voltage drop and fixes the OUT terminal (pin 20) to the “H” level. The
system restores voltage supply when the supply voltage or internal reference voltage reaches the threshold
voltage of the under voltage lockout protection circuit.
3.Soft-start Function
Soft-start block (SOFT)
Connecting a capacitor to the CS terminal (pin 22) prevents surge currents when the IC is turned on. Using an
error amplifier for soft-start detection makes the soft-start time constant, independent of the output load of the
DC/DC converter.

SETTING THE CHARGING VOLTAGE
■■■■
The charging voltage (DC/DC output voltage) can be set by connecting external voltage setting resistors (R3,
R4) to the -INE3 terminal. Be sure to select a resistor value that allows you to ignore the on resistor (70 Ω, 1mA)
of the internal FET connected to the OUTD terminal (pin 11).

METHOD OF SETTING THE CHARGING CURRENT
■■■■
The charge current (output control current) value can be set with the voltage at the +INE1 terminal (pin 9).
If a current exceeding the set value attempts to flo w , the charge v oltage drops according to the set current value.

METHOD OF SETTING THE SOFT-START TIME
■■■■
S (Ω)
Upon activation, the IC starts charging the capacitor (Cs) connected to the CS terminal (pin 22).
The error amplifier causes soft-start operation to be performed with the output voltage in proportion to the CS
terminal voltage regardless of the load current of the DC/DC converter.

charging mode to reduce the charge current to keep AC adaptor po wer constant when the partial potential point
