The SMB135 is a programmable single-cell lithium-ion/lithium-polymer
battery charger for a variety of portable applications. The device
provides a simple and efficient way to charge high-capacity Li-Ion
batteries via a USB port or an AC adapter. Unlike conventional
devices, the SMB135’s high-efficiency operation eliminates large
internal temperature rise and localized hot spot in handheld equipment.
Charge control includes qualification, trickle-charge, pre-charge,
constant current/constant voltage, and termination/safety settings that
are fully programmable via a serial I2C/SMBus making the device truly
a flexible solution. Fast charge current level (one or five unit loads)
can be set via I2C or an input pin (USB500/100). An Enable (EN) pin
is also provided for suspending USB charging and allowing the device
to work in parallel with AC charger, which may already be integrated
into a PMIC device. In this case, the SMB135 does not allow current
to flow back to the USB port.
The SMB135 offers a wide variety of features that protect the battery
pack as well as the charger and input circuitry: over-current,
under/over-voltage and thermal protection. Ultra-precise, 1% accurate,
Kelvin-sensed ADOC™ technology allows accurate control of battery
float voltage and improves battery capacity utilization. Status can be
monitored via the serial port for charge state and fault conditions. In
addition, one LED driver output can be used to signal charge status.
As a protection mechanism, when the junction temperature
approaches approximately 145°C, the PWM switcher will start to cut
back on the duty cycle, to reduce current.
The SMB135 is available in a space-saving 1.3mm x 2.1mm uCSP
TM
package with lead-free balls and is rated over the -30°C to +85°C
temperature range.
