LM3621
Single Cell Lithium-Ion Battery Charger Controller
General Description
The LM3621 is a full function constant voltage, constant current (CVCC) lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger controller. It
provides 1%regulation accuracy overthespecified temperature range without requiring the use of external precision resistors. The IC controls five charge modes: conditioning,
fast, top-off, monitor and maintenance. In addition, the
LM3621 detects and flags defective batteries as well as over
current and over voltage fault events. The architecture of the
IC is based on high gain constant voltage and constant current control loops.
The LM3621 is designed to control a switching charger, a linear charger or an off-line ac adapter charger.
The LM3621 consists of a logic controller, precision bandgap
reference, wide bandwidth transconductance error amplifiers, comparators, and an output buffer. The LM3621 is available in a 16-pin SOIC package and is specified over the
range of 0˚C to 70˚C.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicates limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed under these conditions. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: ESD rating is based on the human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ.
Note 3: LM3621 requires a minimum V
DD
of 3.4V to start-up. After start-up, the operating range is 3.0V to 5.5V.
Note 4: V
OUT
is measured between V
BAT
+ and CSR.
Note 5: V
CSR
is measured between CSR and VSS(across the current sense resistor).
Note 6: V
BAT
-Det is measured between V
BAT
+ and V
BAT
−.
Note 7: V
CSR
-Det is measured between CSR and VSS(across the current sense resistor).
Note 8: This is the current drawn from the battery by the LM3621 when V
DD
=
0V.
Note 9: This is the current drawn from the battery by the LM3621 when the charger is in Monitor Mode.
Note 10: This is the maximum battery voltage droop that is allowed before the charger initiates a fast charge mode to refresh the battery to its full charge capacity.
Note 11: The current regulation and detection levels can be set by applying a dc voltage adjusting between 0.1V to 1V to the I
SET
pin without changing the value
of the current sense resistor. To ensure proper operation, if the default current regulation and detection values are desired, then a capacitor of at least 100 pF should
be connected from I
SET
to VSS(GND).
Note 12: Transfer ratio of V
CSR/VISET
to adjust the fast charge current regulation level. See application section.
Note 13: Minimum V
DD
supply voltage required at start-up.
Note 14: The LM3621 goes to a shutdown or reset state during “brown out” (i.e., when V
DD
<
V
UVR
)
Note 15: Digital inputs are Enable, Boost, Chgint and V
SET
. To ensure proper operation, never allow any unused input pin to be left open.
Note 16: No external voltage applied to I
set
pin; a 100 pF capacitor is connected across I
set
and VSS.

CSR and V

ESR: The equivalent series resistance of a battery.The ESR
is the purely resistive component of a battery’s impedance.
Its value is usually determined by the battery construction.
RFV:The RFV (resistance free voltage, often called the float

which is free from the ESR voltage drop error.
