General Description

The bq2002 and bq2002/F Fast-Charge
ICs are low-cost CMOS battery-charge

­controllers providing reliable charge
termination for both NiCd and NiMH
battery applications. Controlling a
current-limited or constant-current
supply allows the bq2002/F to be the
basis for a cost-effective stand-alone or
system-integrated charger. The
bq2002/F integrates fast charge with
optional top-off and pulsed-trickle con
trol in a single IC for charging one or

­more NiCd or NiMH battery cells.

Fast charge is initiated on application
of the charging supply or battery re
placement. For safety, fast charge is
inhibited if the battery temperature
and voltage are outside configured
limits.

battery per the pre-configured limits.
Fast charge may be inhibited using
the INH pin. The bq2002/F may also
be placed in low-standby-power mode

­to reduce system power consumption.

The bq2002F differs from the
bq2002 only in that a slightly differ­ent set of fast-charge and top-off
time limits is available. All differ­ences between the two ICs are illus­trated in Table 1.

Timer mode input

A three-level input that controls the settings
for the fast charge safety timer, voltage ter
mination mode, top-off, pulse-trickle, and
voltage hold-off time.

Charging output status

Open-drain output that indicates the charging
status.

Battery input voltage

The battery voltage sense input. The input to
this pin is created by a high-impedance re
sistor divider network connected between
the positive and negative terminals of the
battery.

System ground

Temperature sense input

Input for an external battery temperature
monitoring thermistor.

Supply voltage input

5.0V±20% power input.

Charge inhibit input

When high, INH suspends the fast charge in
progress. When returned low, the IC re
sumes operation at the point where initially
suspended.

CC

Charge control output

An open-drain output used to control the
charging current to the battery. CC switch
ing to high impedance (Z) enables charging

-

current to flow, and low to inhibit charging
current. CC is modulated to provide top-off,
if enabled, and pulse trickle.

Functional Description

Figure 2 shows a state diagram and Figure 3 shows a
block diagram of the bq2002/F.

Battery Voltage and Temperature
Measurements

­Battery voltage and temperature are monitored for
maximum allowable values. The voltage presented on
the battery sense input, BAT, should represent a
single-cell potential for the battery under charge. A
resistor-divider ratio of

RB1

= N - 1

RB2

is recommended to maintain the battery voltage within
the valid range, where N is the number of cells, RB1 is
the resistor connected to the positive battery terminal,
and RB2 is the resistor connected to the negative bat­tery terminal. See Figure 1.

Note: This resistor-divider network input impedance to
end-to-end should be at least 200kΩ and less than 1 MΩ.

-

A ground-referenced negative temperature coefficient
thermistor placed near the battery may be used as a low­cost temperature-to-voltage transducer. The temperature
sense voltage input at TS is developed using a resistor­thermistor network between V

and VSS. See Figure 1.
