General Description
The BENCHMARQ bq2057 series
advanced Li-Ion linear charge-man
agement ICs are designed for
cost-sensitive and compact portable
electronics. They combine high-accu
racy current and voltage regulation,
battery conditioning, temperature
monitoring, charge termination,
charge-status indication, and
AutoComp charge-rate compensation in a single 8-pin IC.
The bq2057 continuously measures
battery temperature using an exter
nal thermistor. For safety reasons,
the bq2057 inhibits charge until the
battery temperature is within
user-defined thresholds. The bq2057
then charges the battery in three
phases: conditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. If the
battery voltage is below the
low-voltage threshold V
MIN
, the
bq2057 trickle-charges to condition
the battery. The conditioning charge
rate is set at 10% of the regulation
current. The conditioning current
also minimizes heat dissipation in
the external pass-element during
the initial stage of charge.
After conditioning, the bq2057 ap
-
plies a constant current to the bat
-
tery. An external sense-resistor sets
the magnitude of the current. The
sense-resistor can be on either the
low or the high side of the battery
without additional components. The
constant-current phase continues
until the battery reaches the
charge-regulation voltage.
The bq2057 then begins the con
stant-voltage phase. The accuracy of
the voltage regulation is better than
±1% over the operating-temperature
and supply-voltage ranges. For sin
gle and dual cells with either coke
or graphite anodes, the bq2057 is of
fered in four fixed-voltage versions:
4.1V, 4.2V, 8.2V, and 8.4V. Charge
stops when the current tapers to the
charge termination threshold,
V
TERM
. The bq2057 automatically
restarts the charge if the battery
voltage falls below the V
RCH
thresh-
old.
The designer also may use the
AutoComp feature to reduce charging time. This proprietary technique
allows safe and dynamic compensation for the internal impedance of
the battery pack during charge.
