General Description
The MAX8922L linear battery charger safely charges a
single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery. Charging rate is
optimized to accommodate the thermal characteristics
of a given application. There is no need to reduce the
maximum charge current at the worst-case charger
power dissipation. Charging is optimized for a single
Li+ cell using a control algorithm that includes low-battery precharging, voltage and current-limited fast
charging, and top-off charging, while continuously
monitoring for input overvoltage and device die-temperature conditions. The fast-charge current and top-off
current thresholds are programmable by a simple
1-Wire®serial interface. The charger status and valid
input power are indicated by two open-drain outputs
(CHG and POK).
The fast-charge current is defaulted to 400mA and programmable through the 1-Wire interface (EN/SET). The
MAX8922L also can be programmable to GSM test
mode through the 1-Wire interface.
The MAX8922L is available in a tiny (3mm x 2mm x
0.8mm) 10-pin TDFN package.

Detailed Description
The MAX8922L is designed to charge a single-cell Li+
battery from a DC source voltage between 4.45V and
7V, while VINcan withstand up to 30V. The fast-charge
current and top-off current thresholds are programmable with EN/SET, SETI, and MIN.
Charger-Enable and Program Input
(
EN
/SET)
EN/SET is an active-low logic input that enables the
charger. Drive EN/SET high longer than 4ms to disable
the charger-control circuitry. If EN/SET is left unconnected, an internal 2MΩ pulldown resistor enables
400mA fast-charge current by default. The pulse programming scheme shown in Table 1 and Figure 3 is
used to program the charge current and GSM test
mode. There are four different fast-charge current
states. Default fast-charge current state is 400mA
mode. More than three pulses are interpreted to 90mA
mode. After programming is locked, the MAX8922L
ignores pulses until the IC is disabled/enabled or input
power is cycled. Each fast-charge state is locked after
a 4ms logic-low is asserted on EN/SET, followed by
programming pulses. However, during default mode, if
EN/SET does not receive any pulses, the charger stays
in default mode unlocked indefinitely.
Debounce Timer
To prevent the MAX8922L from charging the battery
momentarily upon IN power-up with EN/SET held low, a
2ms (typ) debounce timer delays the charging loop
upon power-up. If EN/SET is logic-low or unconnected
(pulled down by an internal pulldown resistor) during IN
power-up, the charger starts charging the battery 2ms
after V
UVLO
< VIN< V
OVP
and V
BAT
+ 250mV < VIN. If
EN/SET is logic-high during IN power-up, the charger
does not charge the battery.
Soft-Start
To prevent input transients, the rate of change of the
charge current is limited when the charger is turned on
or changes its current compliance. It takes approximately 250µs (typ) (t
SOFTSTART
) for the charger to go
from 0mA to the maximum fast-charge current.
Thermal-Limit Control
The MAX8922L features a thermal limit that reduces the
charge current when the die temperature exceeds
+105°C. As the temperature increases above +105°C,
the IC decreases the charge current by 28mA/°C.
Charge-Indicator Output (
CHG
)
CHG is an open-drain output that indicates charger status. CHG goes low during charging in prequalification
or fast-charge mode. The CHG internal open-drain
MOSFET turns off when the charge current reaches the
top-off threshold. The CHG status is latched after the
top-off threshold is reached. The latch can be reset as
follows:
• Disable and re-enable the MAX8922L.
• Input power is cycled.
• Battery-charge current increases greater than the
top-off threshold + hysteresis.
When the MAX8922L is used in conjunction with a
microprocessor, connect a pullup resistor between
CHG and the logic I/O voltage to indicate charge status
to the µP. Alternatively, CHG can sink 5mA or more for
an LED charge indicator.

The MAX8922L contains an open-drain POK output that

Once charging has started, charging is sustained with
inputs as low as 3.5V, as long as the input voltage

POK status should be maintained even though the
charger is disabled by EN/SET. When V

LDO Output
The LDO is preset to an output voltage of 4.94V and a
100mA current limit (typ). The LDO is powered from IN
and has input overvoltage protection. The LDO is on if a
valid input is present (V

).
Bypass LDO to GND with a 1µF or larger ceramic
capacitor. The LDO can be used to supply low-voltagerated USB systems.
Applications Information
Fast-Charge Current Settings
In pulse 1 mode, the maximum charging current is programmed by an external resistor connected from SETI
to GND (R
SETI
). Calculate R
SETI
as follows:
R
SETI
= 1500V/I
FAST-CHARGE
where I
FAST-CHARGE
is in amperes and R
SETI
is in
ohms. SETI can be used to monitor the fast-charge current level in the one-pulse mode (R
SETI
mode). The output current from SETI is 1000µA per ampere of
charging current.
The output voltage at SETI is proportional to the charging current (I
CHARGE
) when SETI mode is used for the
fast-charge current:
V
SETI
= I
CHARGE
x R
SETI
/1000
The voltage at ISET is nominally 1.5V at the selected
fast-charge current and decreases with charging current as the cell becomes fully charged or as the thermal-regulation circuitry activates.
Top-Off Current Settings
The top-off charging current is programmed by an
external resistor connected from MIN to GND (R
MIN
) in
the one-pulse mode (R
SETI
mode). Calculate R
MIN
as
follows:
R
MIN
= 150V/I
MIN
where I
MIN
is in amperes and R
MIN
is in ohms.
Capacitor Selection
Connect a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor from BAT to GND
for proper stability. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor
from IN to GND. Use a larger input bypass capacitor for
high charging currents to reduce supply noise. All
capacitors should be X5R dielectric or better. Be aware
that some capacitors have large-voltage coefficients,
and should be avoided.

Thermal Considerations
The MAX8922L is in a thermally enhanced TDFN package with an exposed pad. Connect the exposed pad of
the package to a large copper ground plane to provide a
thermal contact between the device and the circuit board.
The exposed pad transfers heat away from the device,
allowing the IC to charge the battery with maximum current, while minimizing the increase in die temperature.
Input Sources
The MAX8922L operates from well-regulated DC
sources. The charger input voltage range is 4.45V to
7V. The device survives input voltages up to 30V without damage to the IC. If the input voltage is greater
than 7.5V (typ), the IC stops charging. An appropriate
power supply must provide at least 4.2V plus the voltage drop across the internal-pass transistor when
sourcing the desired peak charging current.

x R

where RONis the input-to-BAT resistance. Failure to
meet this requirement results in an incomplete charge
or increased charge time.
Recommended PCB Layout and Routing
Place all bypass capacitors for IN and BAT as close as
possible to the IC. Connect the battery to BAT as close
as possible to the IC to provide accurate battery voltage sensing. Provide a large copper ground plane to
allow the exposed pad to sink heat away from the
device. Make all high-current traces short and wide to
minimize voltage drops. A sample layout is available in
the MAX8922L Evaluation Kit to speed designs.

AC Adapter Charge
Figure 4 shows the MAX8922L as a Li+ battery charger
with an AC adapter. The MAX8922L detects the presence of an input supply resulting in POK pulled low.
Once POK is pulled low, the MAX8922L begins charging the battery when EN/SET is low or unconnected.
The system can program the charge current by EN/SET
pulses. By monitoring CHG, the system can detect the
top-off threshold and terminate the charge through
EN/SET. The MAX8922L also provides an overvoltageprotected 4.94V LDO output to a low-voltage-rated USB
system input.

USB Charge
The universal serial bus (USB) provides a high-speed
serial communications port as well as power for the
remote device. The MAX8922L can be configured to
charge a single Li+ battery at the highest current possible from the host port. Figure 5 shows the MAX8922L as
a USB battery charger. The microprocessor enumerates
the host to determine its current capability. The system
can program the charge current to 90mA, I
SETI
, or
400mA by EN/SET pulses if the host port is capable. The
MAX8922L also provides an overvoltage-protected 4.94V
LDO output to a low-voltage-rated USB system input.
GSM Test Mode
Figure 6 shows the MAX8922L in a GSM test mode. By
sending three pulses to EN/SET, the MAX8922L goes
into GSM test mode. GSM PA can pull up to 2.3A for
576µs once every 217Hz from the MAX8922L’s output.
The configuration in Figure 6 is used for system development, testing, and calibrations in the production or
design stage.
