General Description
The bq2031 Lead-Acid Fast Charge
IC is designed to optimize charging
of lead-acid chemistry batteries. A
flexible pulse-width modulation
regulator allows the bq2031 to con
trol constant-voltage, constantcurrent, or pulsed-current charging.
The regulator frequency is set by an
external capacitor for design flexibility. The switch-mode design keeps
power dissipation to a minimum for
high charge current applications.
A charge cycle begins when power is
applied or the battery is replaced.
For safety, charging is inhibited until the battery voltage is within configured limits. If the battery voltage is
less than the low-voltage threshold,
the bq2031 provides trickle-current
charging until the voltage rises into
the allowed range or an internal
timer runs out and places the
bq2031 in a Fault condition. This
procedure prevents high-current
charging of cells that are possibly
damaged or reversed. Charging is
inhibited anytime the temperature
of the battery is outside the config
urable, allowed range. All voltage
thresholds are temperaturecompensated.
The bq2031 terminates fast (bulk)
charging based on the following:
Maximum voltage
■
-
Second difference of cell voltage
■
2
(
V)
∆
Minimum current (in constant-
■
voltage charging)
Maximum time-out (MTO)
■
After bulk charging, the bq2031 provides temperature-compensated
maintenance (float) charging to
maintain battery capacity.

Charge Qualification
The bq2031 starts a charge cycle when power is applied
while a battery is present or when a battery is inserted.
Figure 1 shows the state diagram for pre-charge qualification and temperature monitoring. The bq2031 first
checks that the battery temperature is within the allowed, user-configurable range. If the temperature is
out-of-range (or the thermistor is missing), the bq2031
enters the Charge Pending state and waits until the battery temperature is within the allowed range. Charge
Pending is annunciated by LED
flashing.

Thermal monitoring continues throughout the charge

anytime the temperature is out of range. (There is one
exception; if the bq2031 is in the Fault state—see be

second test passes, the bq2031 begins fast (bulk) charging.
Once in the Fault state, the bq2031 waits until V

charge cycle and begins the qualification process again.

the bq2031 returns to the point in the charge cycle
where the out-of-range temperature was detected.

tests on the battery. In test 1, the bq2031 regulates a voltage

Configuring Algorithm and Display
Modes
QSEL/LED3, DSEL/LED2, and TSEL/LED1are bidirectional pins with two functions; they are LED driver
pins as outputs and programming pins for the bq2031 as
inputs. The selection of pull-up, pull-down, or no pull re
sistor programs the charging algorithm on QSEL and
TSEL per Table 1 and the display mode on DSEL per
Table 2. The bq2031 latches the program states when
any of the following events occurs:
1.V
2.The bq2031 leaves the Fault state.
3.The bq2031 detects battery insertion.
The LEDs go blank for approximately 750ms (typical)
while new programming data is latched.
For example, Figure 5 shows the bq2031 configured for
the Pulsed Current algorithm and display mode 2.
Voltage and Current Monitoring
The bq2031 monitors battery pack voltage at the BAT
pin. A voltage divider between the positive and negative
terminals of the battery pack is used to present a scaled
battery pack voltage to the BAT pin and an appropriate
value for regulation of float (maintenance) voltage to the
FLOAT pin. The bq2031 also uses the voltage across a

These parameters are typically specified by the battery

network does not drain the battery excessively when the
power source is disconnected. Exceeding the maximum
value increases the noise susceptibility of the BAT pin.
An empirical procedure for setting the values in the resistor network is as follows:
1.Set RB2 to 49.9 kΩ. (for 3 to 18 series cells)

Battery Insertion and Removal

present when V

0.8V). When V

The user must include a pull-up resistor from the posi
tive terminal of the battery stack to VDC (and a diode to
prevent battery discharge through the power supply
when the supply is turned off) in order to detect battery
removal during periods of voltage regulation. Voltage
regulation occurs in pre-charge qualification test 1 prior
to all of the fast charge algorithms, and in phase 2 of the
Two-Step Voltage fast charge algorithm.
Temperature Monitoring
The bq2031 monitors temperature by examining the
voltage presented between the TS and SNS pins (V
by a resistor network that includes a Negative Tempera
ture Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. Resistance variations
around that value are interpreted as being proportional
to the battery temperature (see Figure 7).

their corresponding TS pin voltage are:

Temperature sensing can be disabled by removing RT

Temperature Compensation
The internal voltage reference used by the bq2031 for all
voltage threshold determinations is compensated for
temperature. The temperature coefficient is -3.9mV/°C,
normalized to 25°C. Voltage thresholds in the bq2031
vary by this proportion as ambient conditions change.
Fast-Charge Termination
Fast-charge termination criteria are programmed with
the fast charge algorithm per Table 1. Note that not all
criteria are applied in all algorithms.
Minimum Current
Fast charge terminates when the charging current drops
below a minimum current threshold programmed by the
value of IGSEL (see Table 3). This is used by the TwoStep Voltage algorithm.

Charge Regulation
The bq2031 controls charging through pulse-width modulation of the MOD output pin, supporting both constantcurrent and constant-voltage regulation. Charge current
is monitored by the voltage at the SNS pin, and charge
voltage by voltage at the BAT pin. These voltages are
compared to an internal temperature-compensated reference, and the MOD output modulated to maintain the desired value.
