MAXIM MAX1758 User Manual

General Description
The MAX1758 is a switch-mode lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger that charges one-to-four cells. It provides a reg­ulated charging current accurate to ±10% and a regu­lated voltage with only a ±0.8% total voltage error at the battery terminals. The internal high-side switch delivers a programmable current of up to 1.5A to charge the bat­tery. The built-in safety timer automatically terminates charging once the adjustable time limit has been reached.
The MAX1758 regulates the voltage set point and charging current using two loops that work together to transition smoothly between voltage and current regula­tion. An additional control loop monitors the total cur­rent drawn from the input source (charging + system), and automatically reduces battery-charging current, preventing overload of the input supply and allowing the use of a low-cost wall adapter.
The per-cell battery regulation voltage is set between
4.0V and 4.4V using standard 1% resistors. The num­ber of cells is set from 1-to-4 by pin strapping. Battery temperature is monitored by an external thermistor to prevent charging outside the acceptable temperature range.
The MAX1758 is available in a space-saving 28-pin SSOP package. Use the MAX1758EVKIT to help reduce design time. For a stand-alone charger with a 14V switch, refer to the MAX1757 data sheet. For a charger controller capable of up to 4A charging current, refer to the MAX1737 data sheet.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
Detailed Description
The MAX1758 includes all of the functions necessary to charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 Li+ battery cells in series. It includes a step-down DC-DC converter that controls charging voltage and current. It also includes input source current limiting, battery temperature monitoring, battery undervoltage precharging, battery fault indica­tion, and a state machine with timers for charge termi­nation.
The DC-DC converter uses an internal power MOSFET switch to convert the input voltage to the charging cur­rent or voltage. Figure 1 shows the typical application circuit. Figure 2 shows a typical charging sequence and Figure 3 shows the functional diagram. The charging current is set by the voltage at ISETOUT. The battery voltage is measured at the BATT pin. The battery regu­lation voltage limit is set to 4.2V per cell and can be adjusted ±5% by changing the voltage at the VADJ pin. By limiting the adjust range, the voltage limit accuracy is better than 1% while using 1% setting resistors.

______________________________________________________________________________________ 11
The MAX1758 includes a state machine that controls the charging algorithm. Figure 4 shows the state dia­gram. Table 1 is the charging state table. When power is applied, or SHDN input is driven high, the part goes into the reset state where the timers are reset to zero to prepare for charging. From the reset state, it enters the prequalification state. In this state, 1/10 of the fast­charge current charges the battery, and the battery temperature and voltage are measured. If the voltage is above the undervoltage threshold and the temperature is within the limits, then it will enter the fast-charge state. If the battery voltage does not rise above the undervoltage threshold before the prequalification timer expires, the charging terminates and the FAULT output goes low. The prequalification time is set by the TIMER1 capacitor (C
TIMER1
). If the battery is outside the temperature limits, charging and the timer are sus­pended. Once the temperature is back within limits, charging and the timer resume.
In the fast-charge state, the FASTCHG output goes low and the batteries charge with a constant current (see Charging Current Regulator section). If the battery volt­age reaches the voltage limit before the fast timer expires, the part enters the full-charge state. If the fast­charge timer expires before the voltage limit is reached, charging terminates and the FAULT output goes low. The fast-charge time limit is set by the TIMER2 capacitor (C
TIMER2
). If the battery temperature is outside the limits, charging pauses and the timers are suspended until the temperature returns to within the limits.
In the full-charge state, the FULLCHG output goes low and the batteries charge at a constant voltage (see the Voltage Regulation section). When the charging current drops below 150mA (330mA peak inductor current), or if the full-charge timer expires, the state machine enters the top-off state. In the top-off state, the batteries con­tinue to charge at a constant voltage until the top-off timer expires when it enters the done state. In the done state, charging stops until the battery voltage drops below the recharge-voltage threshold when it enters the reset state to start the charging process again. In the full-charge or the top-off state, if the battery tempera­ture is outside the limits, charging pauses and the timers are suspended until the battery temperature returns to within limits.
Voltage Regulator
Li+ batteries require a high-accuracy voltage limit while charging. The MAX1758 uses a high-accuracy voltage regulator (±0.8%) to limit the charging voltage. The bat­tery regulation voltage is nominally set to 4.2V per cell and can be adjusted ±5% by changing the voltage at
the V
ADJ
pin between reference voltage and ground. By limiting the adjust range of the regulation voltage, an overall voltage accuracy of better than 1% is main­tained while using 1% resistors. CELL sets the cell count from 1-to-4 series cells (see Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage section).
An internal error amplifier (GMV) maintains voltage reg­ulation (Figure 3). The GMV amplifier is compensated at CCV. The component values shown in Figure 1 pro­vide suitable performance for most applications. Individual compensation of the voltage regulation and current regulation loops allows for optimum stability.
Charging Current Regulator
The charging current-limit regulator limits the charging current. Current is sensed by measuring the voltage across the internal current-sense resistor RCSbetween BATT and CS. The voltage at ISETOUT adjusts the charging current. Full-scale charging current is achieved when ISETOUT is connected to REF.
The charging current error amplifier (GMI) is compen­sated at CCI. A 0.1µF capacitor at CCI provides suit­able performance for most applications.

Input Current Regulator
The total input current (from a wall cube or other DC source) is the sum of system load current plus the bat­tery-charging current. The input current regulator limits the source current by reducing charging current when input current exceeds the set input current limit. System current will normally fluctuate as portions of the system are powered up or put to sleep. Without input current regulation, the input source must be able to supply the
maximum system load current plus the maximum charger input current. By using the input current limiter, the current capability of the AC wall adapter may be lowered, reducing system cost.
Input current is measured through an external sense resistor at CSSP and CSSN. The voltage at ISETIN also adjusts the input current limit. Full-scale input current is achieved when ISETIN is connected to REF, setting the full-scale current-sense regulation voltage to 100mV.

When the current-sense resistor is chosen, note that the voltage drop across this resistor adds to the power loss, reducing efficiency. Reducing the voltage across the current-sense resistor may degrade input current limit accuracy due to the input offset of the input cur­rent-sense amplifier.
The input current error amplifier (GMS) is compensated at CCS. A 0.1µF capacitor at CCS provides suitable performance for most applications.
PWM Controller
The PWM controller drives the internal high-side MOS­FET to control charging current or voltage. The input to the PWM controller is the lowest of CCI, CCV, or CCS.
An internal clamp limits the noncontrolling signals to within 200mV of the controlling signal to prevent delay when switching between regulation loops.
The current mode PWM controller measures the induc­tor current to regulate the output voltage or current, simplifying stabilization of the regulation loops. Separate compensation of the regulation circuits allows each to be optimally stabilized. Internal slope compen­sation is included, ensuring stable operation over a wide range of duty cycles.
The controller drives an internal N-channel MOSFET switch to step the input voltage down to the battery voltage. The high-side MOSFET gate is driven to a volt­age higher than the input source voltage by a bootstrap

capacitor. This capacitor (between BST and LX) is charged through a diode from VL when LX is low. An internal N-channel MOSFET turns on momentarily after the high-side switch turns off, pulling LX to PGND to ensure that the bootstrap capacitor charges. The high­side MOSFET gate is driven from BST, supplying suffi­cient voltage to fully drive the MOSFET gate even when its source is near the input voltage.
Timers
The MAX1758 includes safety timers to terminate charging and to ensure that faulty batteries are not charged indefinitely. TIMER1 and TIMER2 set the time­out periods.
TIMER1 controls the maximum prequalification time, maximum full-charge time, and the top-off time. TIMER2 controls the maximum fast-charge time. The timers are set by external capacitors. The typical times of 7.5 min­utes for prequalification, 90 minutes for full charge, 45 minutes for top-off, and 90 minutes for fast charge are set by using a 1nF capacitor on TIMER1 and TIMER2 (Figure 1).
Charge Monitoring Outputs
FASTCHG, FULLCHG, and FAULT are open-drain out­puts that can be used as LED drivers. FASTCHG indi- cates the battery is being fast charged. FULLCHG indicates the charger has completed the fast-charge cycle (approximately 85% charge) and is operating in voltage mode. The FASTCHG and FULLCHG outputs can be tied together to indicate charging or done (Figure 2). FAULT indicates the charger has detected a charging fault and that charging has terminated. The charger can be brought out of the FAULT condition only by removing and reapplying the input power, or by pulling SHDN low.
Thermistor
The intent of THM is to inhibit charging when the bat­tery is too cold or too hot (+2.5°C ≤ TOK≤ +47.5°C), using an external thermistor. THM time multiplexes two sense currents to test for both hot and cold qualifica­tion. The thermistor should be 10kat +25°C and have a negative temperature coefficient (NTC); the THM pin expects 3.97kat +47.5°C and 28.7kat +2.5°C. Connect the thermistor between THM and GND. If no temperature qualification is desired, replace the ther­mistor with a 10kresistor. Thermistors by Philips/BC components (2322-640-63103), Cornerstone Sensors (T101D103-CA), and Fenwall Electronics (140-103LAG­RB1) work well. The battery temperature is measured at a 1.12Hz rate (C
TIMER1
= C
TIMER2
= 1nF). Charging
pauses briefly to allow accurate measurement.
If the temperature goes out of limits while charging is in progress, charging will be suspended until the temper­ature returns to within the limits. While charging is sus­pended, the timers will also be suspended but will continue counting from where they left off when charg­ing resumes.
Shutdown
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX1758 enters the shutdown mode and charging is stopped. In shutdown, the internal resistive voltage-divider is removed from BATT to reduce the current drain on the battery to less than 5µA. The high-side power MOSFET switch is off. However, the internal linear regulator (VLO) and the ref­erence (REF) remain on. Status outputs FASTCHG, FULLCHG, and FAULT are high impedance. When exit­ing the shutdown mode, the MAX1758 goes to the power-on reset state, which resets the timers and begins a new charge cycle.
Source Undervoltage Shutdown (Dropout)
If the voltage on DCIN drops within 100mV of the volt­age on BATT, the charger turns off. This prevents bat­tery discharge by the charger during low input voltage conditions.
Design Procedure
Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage
VADJ sets the per-cell voltage limit. To set the VADJ voltage, use a voltage-divider from REF to VADJ. A GND-to-V
REF
change at VADJ results in a ±5% change in the battery limit voltage. Since the full VADJ range results in only a 10% change on the battery regulation voltage, the resistor-dividers accuracy need not be as high as the output-voltage accuracy. Using 1% resis­tors for the voltage dividers results in no more than
0.1% degradation in output-voltage accuracy. VADJ is internally buffered so that high-value resistors can be used. Set V
VADJ
by choosing a value less than 100k

CELL is the programming input for selecting cell count N. Table 2 shows how CELL is connected to charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 cells.
Setting the Charging Current Limit
A resistor-divider from REF to GND sets the voltage at ISETOUT (V
ISETOUT
). This determines the charging cur­rent during the current-regulation (fast-charge) mode. The full-scale charging current is 1.5A.
The charging current (I
CHG
) is, therefore:
Connect ISETOUT to REF to get the full-scale current limit.
Setting the Input Current limit
A resistor-divider from REF to GND sets the voltage at ISETIN (V
ISETIN
). This sets the maximum source current allowed at any time during charging. The source cur­rent I
FSS
is set by the current-sense resistor R
SOURCE
between CSSP and CSSN. The full-scale source current is I
FSS
= 0.1V / R1 (Figure 1).
The input current limit (IIN) is therefore:
Connect ISETIN to REF to get the full-scale input cur­rent limit. Short CSSP and CSSN if the input source cur­rent limit is not used.
In choosing the current-sense resistor, note that the drop across this resistor adds to the power loss and thus reduces efficiency. However, too low a resistor value may degrade input current-limit accuracy.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value may be changed for more or less ripple current. The higher the inductance, the lower the ripple current will be; however, as the physical size is kept the same, typically, higher inductance will result in higher series resistance and lower saturation current. A good tradeoff is to choose the inductor so that the rip­ple current is approximately 30% to 50% of the DC average charging current. The ratio of ripple current to
DC charging current (LIR) can be used to calculate the optimal inductor value:
where f
OSC
is the switching frequency (300kHz).
The peak inductor current is given by:
Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor shunts the switching current from the charger input and prevents that current from circu­lating through the source, typically an AC wall cube. Thus, the input capacitor must be able to handle the input RMS current. Typically, at high charging currents, the converter will operate in continuous conduction (the inductor current does not go to 0). In this case, the RMS current of the input capacitor may be approximat­ed by the equation:
where:
I
CIN
is the input capacitor RMS current.
D is the PWM converter duty ratio (typically V
BATT
/
V
DCIN
).
I
CHG
is the battery charging current.
The maximum RMS input current occurs at 50% duty cycle; thus, the worst-case input ripple current is 0.5 x I
CHG
. If the input-to-output voltage ratio is such that the PWM controller will never work at 50% duty cycle, then the worst-case capacitor current will occur where the duty cycle is nearest 50%.
The input capacitor impedance is critical to preventing AC currents from flowing back into the wall cube. This requirement varies depending on the wall cube imped­ance and the requirements of any conducted or radiat­ed EMI specifications that must be met. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are generally the cheapest, but usually are a poor choice for portable devices due to their large size and poor equivalent series resistance (ESR). Tantalum capacitors are better in most cases, as are high-value ceramic capacitors. For equivalent size and voltage rating, tantalum capacitors will have higher capacitance, but also higher ESR than ceramic capaci­tors. This makes consideration of RMS current and power

The output filter capacitor is used to absorb the induc­tor ripple current. The output capacitor impedance must be significantly less than that of the battery to ensure that it will absorb the ripple current. Both the capacitance and ESR rating of the capacitor are impor­tant for its effectiveness as a filter and to ensure stabili­ty of the PWM circuit. The minimum output capacitance for stability is:

RCSis the current-sense resistor from CS to BATT (100mtyp).
Setting the Timers
The MAX1758 contains four timers: a prequalification timer, fast-charge timer, full-charge timer, and top-off timer. Connecting a capacitor from TIMER1 to GND and TIMER2 to GND sets the timer periods. The TIMER1 input controls the prequalification, full-charge, and top-off times, while TIMER2 controls the fast­charge timeout. The typical timeouts for a 1C charge rate are set to 7.5 minutes for the prequalification timer, 90 minutes for the fast-charge timer, 90 minutes for the full-charge timer, and 45 minutes for the top-off timer by connecting 1nF capacitors to TIMER1 and TIMER2. Each timer period is directly proportional to the capaci­tance at the corresponding pin (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Compensation
Each of the three regulation loopsthe input current limit, the charging current limit, and the charging volt­age limitcan be compensated separately at the CCS, CCI, and CCV pins, respectively.
The charge-current loop error amp output is brought out at CCI. Likewise, the source-current error amplifier output is brought out at CCS. The current loops in most charger designs can be compensated by 0.1µF capac­itors to ground at CCI and CCS. Raising the value of these capacitors reduces the bandwidth of these loops.
The voltage-regulating loop error amp output is brought out at CCV. Compensate this loop by connecting a capacitor in parallel with a series resistor-capacitor (RC) from CCV to GND. Recommended values are shown in Figure 1.
Applications Information
Diode Selection
A Schottky rectifier with a rating of at least 1.5A must be connected from LX to PGND.
VL and REF Bypassing
The MAX1758 uses an internal linear regulator to drop the input voltage down to 5.4V, which powers the inter­nal circuitry. The output of the linear regulator is the VL pin. The internal linear regulator may also be used to power external circuitry as long as the maximum cur­rent of the linear regulator is not exceeded.
A 4.7µF bypass capacitor is required at VL to ensure that the regulator is stable. A 1µF bypass capacitor is also required between REF and GND to ensure that the inter­nal 4.2V reference is stable. In both cases, use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor.
