1 Introduction

1.1EVM Features

Evaluation Module For bq2461x/bq2463x

High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Charger

User-programmable up to 26V Battery Voltage

AC Adapter Operating Range 5 V–28 V

LED Indication for Control and Status Signals.

Test Points for Key Signals Available for Testing Purpose. Easy Probe Hook-up.

Jumpers Available. Easy to Change Connections.

1.2General Description

The bq2461x is highly integrated Li-ion or Li-polymer switch-mode battery charge controllers. The bq2463x is highly integrated switch-mode battery charge controllers designed specifically to charge Lithium Phosphate battery chemistries.

They offer a constant-frequency synchronous PWM controller with high accuracy charge current and voltage regulation, adapter current regulation, termination, charge preconditioning, and charge status monitoring,

The bq2461x/bq2463x charges the battery in three phases: preconditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. Charge is terminated when the current reches a minimum user-selectable level. A programmable charge timer provides a safety backup for charge termination. The bq2461x/bq2463x automatically restarts the charge cycle if the battery voltage falls below an internal threshold, and enters a low-quiescent current sleep mode when the input voltage falls below the battery voltage.

The dynamic power management (DPM) function modifies the charge current depending on system load conditions, avoiding ac adapter overload.

High accuracy current sense amplifiers enable accurate measurement of the ac adapter current, allowing monitoring of overall system power.

For details, see bq24610 and bq24617 (SLUS892), bq24616 (SLUSA49) and bq2463x (SLUS894) data sheets.

PCB Layout Guideline

2.4.4Charger Cut-Off by Thermistor

1.Slowly increase the output voltage of PS2 until Ibat = 0 ± 10mA. Measure → V(J4(TS)) = 2.44V ± 200mV

Observe → D7 (STAT1) off; D8 (STAT2) off.

2.Slowly decrease the output voltage of PS2 to 1.4V ± 0.1V. Measure → V(J4(TS)) = 1.4V ± 100mV

Measure → Ibat = 3000mA ± 300mA (bq24610/617) Ibat = 0mA ± 100mA (bq24616)

Ibat = 375mA ± 150mA (bq2463x)

Observe → D7 (STAT1) on; D8 (STAT2) off (bq24610/617/630) Observe → D7 (STAT1) off; D8 (STAT2) off (bq24616)

3.Slowly decrease the output voltage of PS2.

Charge will resume. Continue to decrease the output voltage of PS2 slowly until Ibat = 0 ±10mA. Measure → V(J4(TS)) = 1.14V ± 200mV

Observe → D7 (STAT1) off; D8 (STAT2) off.

4.Slowly increase the output voltage of PS2 to 1.8V ± 100mV. Measure → Ibat = 3000mA ± 200mA

Observe → D7 (STAT1) on; D8 (STAT2) off.

2.4.5Power Path Selection

1.Take off JP5 (Disable the charging) Observe → D3 (CE) off; D7 (STAT1) off.

2.Set JP3 Jumper On 2-3 (VPULLUP and VEXT). Connect the output of the power supply #3 to J2(VEXT, GND). Set the power supply #3 for 3.3V ± 200mVDC, 1.0 ± 0.1A current limit.

3.Set the Load #2 output voltage to 16.5V ± 500mV.

4.Measure → V(J5(SYS)) = 24V ± 1V (adapter connected to system)

Observe → D4 (ACDRV) on, D6 (BATDRV) off, D5 (PG) on, D7 (STAT1) off, D8 (STAT2) off.

5.Turn off PS#1.

6.Measure → V(J5(SYS)) = 16.5V ± 0.5V (battery connected to system)

7.Observe → D4 (ACDRV) off, D6 (BATDRV) on, D5 (PG) off, D7 (STAT1) off, D8 (STAT2) off.

8.Turn off power supply #2 and #3. Set JP3 on 1-2 (VPULLUP and VREF).

3PCB Layout Guideline

1.It is critical that the exposed power pad on the backside of the bq2461x/bq2463x package be soldered to the PCB ground. Make sure there are sufficient thermal vias right underneath the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the other layers.

2.The control stage and the power stage should be routed separately. At each layer, the signal ground and the power ground are connected only at the power pad.

3.AC current sense resistor must be connected to ACP and ACN with a Kelvin contact. The area of this loop must be minimized. The decoupling capacitors for these pins should be placed as close to the IC as possible.

4.Charge current sense resistor must be connected to SRP, SRN with a Kelvin contact. The area of this loop must be minimized. The decoupling capacitors for these pins should be placed as close to the IC as possible.

5.Decoupling capacitors for DCIN, VREF, VCC, REGN should make the interconnections to the IC as short as possible.

6.Decoupling capacitors for BAT must be placed close to the corresponding IC pins and make the interconnections to the IC as short as possible.

7.Decoupling capacitor(s) for the charger input must be placed close to top buck FET's drain and bottom buck FET’s source.
