Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery
Charge r for Notebook Computers
The ISL6257 is a highly integrated battery charger controller
for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
at lower system voltage can improve overall efficiency. High
efficiency is achieved in the charger with a synchronous buck
topology . The low -side MOSFET emul ates a diode at light
loads to improve the light load efficiency and prevent system
bus boosting.
The constant output voltage can be selected for 2, 3 and 4
series Li-Ion cells with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature. It
can also be programmed between 4.2V + 5% per cell and
4.2V - 5% per cell to optimize battery capacity. When
supplying the load and battery charger simultaneously, the
input current limit for the AC adapter is programmable to
within ±3% accuracy to avoid overloading the AC adapter and
to allow the system to make efficient use of available adapter
power for charging. It also has a wide range of programmable
charging current. The ISL6257 automatically transitions from
regulating current mode to regulating voltage mode.
