DESCRIPTION

The bq24630 is highly integrated switch-mode battery charge controller designed specifically for Lithium Phosphate battery. It offers a constant-frequency synchronous PWM controller with high accuracy current and voltage regulation, charge preconditioning, termination, adapter current regulation, and charge status monitoring.
The bq24630 charges the battery in three phases: preconditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. Charge is terminated when the current reaches a minimum user-selectable level. A programmable charge timer provides a safety backup. The bq24630 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.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

The bq24630 controls external switches to prevent battery discharge back to the input, connect the adapter to the system, and to connect the battery to the system using 6-V gate drives for better system efficiency. The bq24630 features Dynamic Power Management (DPM). These features reduce battery charge current when the input power limit is reached to avoid overloading the AC adapter when supplying the load and the battery charger simultaneously. A highly-accurate current-sense amplifier enables precise measurement of input current from the AC adapter to monitor the overall system power.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are with respect to GND if not specified. Currents are positive into, negative out of the specified terminal. Consult Packaging
Section of the data book for thermal limitations and considerations of packages.
(3) Must have a series resistor between battery pack to VFB if Battery Pack voltage is expected to be greater than 16V. Usually the resistor
divider top resistor will take care of this.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

BATTERY VOLTAGE REGULATION

The bq24630 uses a high accuracy voltage bandgap and regulator for the high accuracy charging voltage. The charge voltage is programmed via a resistor divider from the battery to ground, with the midpoint tied to the VFB pin. The voltage at the VFB pin is regulated to 1.8V, giving Equation 1 for the regulation voltage:
where R2 is connected from VFB to the battery and R1 is connected from VFB to GND

BATTERY CURRENT REGULATION

The ISET1 input sets the maximum fast charging current. Battery charge current is sensed by resistor R connected between SRP and SRN. The full-scale differential voltage between SRP and SRN is 100mV. Thus, for a 10msense resistor, the maximum charging current is 10A. Equation 2 is for charge current
V across RSRwith default value of 10m. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger sense resistor will give a larger sense voltage, a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher conduction loss.

INPUT ADAPTER CURRENT REGULATION

The total input from an AC adapter or other DC sources is a function of the system supply current and the battery charging current. System current normally fluctuates as portions of the systems are powered up or down. Without Dynamic Power Management (DPM), the source must be able to supply the maximum system current and the maximum charger input current simultaneously. By using DPM, the input current regulator reduces the charging current when the input current exceeds the input current limit set by ACSET. The current capability of the AC adaptor can be lowered, reducing system cost.
Similar to setting battery regulation current, adaptor current is sensed by resistor RACconnected between ACP and ACN. Its maximum value is set by ACSET using Equation 3:
(3)
V
, the input voltage range of ACSET is between 0 and 2V. The ACP and ACN pins are used to sense
ACSET
voltage across RACwith default value of 10m. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger the sense resistor will give a larger sense voltage, and a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher conduction loss.

CHARGE TERMINATION, RECHARGE, AND SAFETY TIMER

The bq24630 monitors the charging current during the voltage regulation phase. When V is detected while the voltage on the VFB pin is higher than the V than the I

POWER UP

The bq24630 uses a SLEEP comparator to determine the source of power on the VCC pin, since VCC can be supplied either from the battery or the adapter. If the VCC voltage is greater than the SRN voltage, bq24630 will enable the ACFET and disable BATFET. If all other conditions are met for charging, bq24630 will then attempt to charge the battery (See Enabling and Disabling Charging). If the SRN voltage is greater than VCC, indicating that the battery is the power source, bq24630 enables the BATFET, and enters a low quiescent current (<15mA) SLEEP mode to minimize current drain from the battery.
If VCC is below the UVLO threshold, the device is disabled, ACFET turns off and BATFET turns on.

ENABLE AND DISABLE CHARGING

The following conditions have to be valid before charge is enabled:
CE is HIGH
The device is not in Under-Voltage-Lockout (UVLO) and not in VCCLOWV mode
The device is not in SLEEP mode
The VCC voltage is lower than the AC over-voltage threshold (VCC < V
30 ms delay is complete after initial power-up
The REGN LDO and VREF LDO voltages are at the correct levels
Thermal Shut (TSHUT) is not valid
TS fault is not detected One of the following conditions will stop on-going charging
CE is LOW
Adapter is removed, causing the device to enter UVLO, VCCLOWV, or SLEEP mode
Adapter is over voltage
The REGN or VREF LDOs are overloaded
TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached (145°C on rising-edge with 15°C hysteresis)
TS voltage goes out of range indicating the battery temperature is too hot or too cold
TTC saftey timer times out
ACOV
)

SYSTEM POWER SELECTOR

The bq24630 automatically switches adapter or battery power to the system load. The battery is connected to the system by default during power up or during SLEEP mode. The battery is disconnected from the system and then the adapter is connected to the system 30ms after exiting SLEEP. An automatic break-before-make logic prevents shoot-through currents when the selectors switch.
The ACDRV is used to drive a pair of back-to-back p-channel power MOSFETs between adapter and ACP with sources connected together and to VCC. The FET connected to adapter prevents reverse discharge from the battery to the adapter when turned off. The p-channel FET with the drain connected to the adapter input provides reverse battery discharge protection when off; and also minimizes system power dissipation, with its low-R compared to a Schottky diode. The other p-channel FET connected to ACP separates battery from adapter, and provides a limited dI/dt when connecting the adapter to the system by controlling the FET turn-on time. The BATDRV controls a p-channel power MOSFET placed between BAT and system.
When adapter is not detected, the ACDRV is pulled to VCC to keep ACFET off, disconnecting the adapter from system. BATDRV stays at ACN-6V to connect battery to system.
Approximately 30ms after the device comes out of SLEEP mode, the system begins to switch from battery to adapter. The break-before-make logic keeps both ACFET and BATFET off for 10µs before ACFET turns on. This prevents shoot-through current or any large discharging current from going into the battery. The /BATDRV is pulled up to ACN and the ACDRV pin is set to VCC-6V by an internal regulator to turn on p-channel ACFET, connecting the adapter to the system.
When the adapter is removed, the system waits until VCC drops back to within 200mV above SRN to switch from adapter back to battery. The break-before-make logic still keeps 10ms dead time. The ACDRV is pulled up to VCC and the BATDRV pin is set to ACN-6V by an internal regulator to turn on p-channel BATFET, connecting the battery to the system.

Asymmetrical gate drive for the ACDRV and BATDRVdrivers provides fast turn-off and slow turn-on of the ACFET and BATFET to help the break-before-make logic and to allow a soft-start at turn-on of either FET. The soft-start time can be further increased, by putting a capacitor from gate to source of the p-channel power MOSFETs.

AUTOMATIC INTERNAL SOFT-START CHARGER CURRENT

The charger automatically soft-starts the charger regulation current every time the charger goes into fast-charge to ensure there is no overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The soft-start consists of stepping-up the charge regulation current into 8 evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current. Each step lasts around 1.6ms, for a typical rise time of 12.8ms. No external components are needed for this function.

CONVERTER OPERATION

The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixed frequency voltage mode with feed-forward control scheme. A type III compensation network allows using ceramic capacitors at the output of the converter. The compensation input stage is connected internally between the feedback output (FBO) and the error amplifier input (EAI). The feedback compensation stage is connected between the error amplifier input (EAI) and error amplifier output (EAO). The LC output filter is selected to give a resonant frequency of 10 kHz – 15 kHz for bq24630, where resonant frequency, fo, is given by Equation 6:
(6)
An internal saw-tooth ramp is compared to the internal EAO error control signal to vary the duty-cycle of the converter. The ramp height is 7% of the input adapter voltage making it always directly proportional to the input adapter voltage. This cancels out any loop gain variation due to a change in input voltage, and simplifies the loop compensation. The ramp is offset by 300mV in order to allow zero percent duty-cycle when the EAO signal is below the ramp. The EAO signal is also allowed to exceed the saw-tooth ramp signal in order to get a 100% duty-cycle PWM request. Internal gate drive logic allows achieving 99.95% duty-cycle while ensuring the N-channel upper device always has enough voltage to stay fully on. If the BTST pin to PH pin voltage falls below
4.2V for more than 3 cycles, then the high-side n-channel power MOSFET is turned off and the low-side n-channel power MOSFET is turned on to pull the PH node down and recharge the BTST capacitor. Then the high-side driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the (BTST-PH) voltage is detected to fall low again due to leakage current discharging the BTST capacitor below the 4.2 V, and the reset pulse is reissued.
The fixed frequency oscillator keeps tight control of the switching frequency under all conditions of input voltage, battery voltage, charge current, and temperature, simplifying output filter design and keeping it out of the audible noise region. Also see Application Information for how to select inductor, capacitor and MOSFET.

Synchronous and Non-Synchronous Operation

The charger operates in synchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is above 5mV (0.5A inductor current for a 10msense resistor). During synchronous mode, the internal gate drive logic ensures there is break-before-make complimentary switching to prevent shoot-through currents. During the 30ns dead time where both FETs are off, the body-diode of the low-side power MOSFET conducts the inductor current. Having the low-side FET turn-on keeps the power dissipation low, and allows safely charging at high currents. During synchronous mode the inductor current is always flowing and converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), creating a fixed two-pole system.
The charger operates in non-synchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is below 5mV (0.5A inductor current for a 10msense resistor). The charger is forced into non-synchronous mode when battery voltage is lower than 2V or when the average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25mV.
During non-synchronous operation, the body-diode of lower-side MOSFET can conduct the positive inductor current after the high-side n-channel power MOSFET turns off. When the load current decreases and the inductor current drops to zero, the body diode will be naturally turned off and the inductor current will become discontinuous. This mode is called Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). During DCM, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET will turn-on for around 80ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2V, then the low-side power MOSFET will turn-off and stay off until the beginning of the next cycle, where the high-side power MOSFET is turned on again. The 80ns low-side MOSFET on-time is required to ensure the bootstrap capacitor is

always recharged and able to keep the high-side power MOSFET on during the next cycle. This is important for battery chargers, where unlike regular dc-dc converters, there is a battery load that maintains a voltage and can both source and sink current. The 80ns low-side pulse pulls the PH node (connection between high and low-side MOSFET) down, allowing the bootstrap capacitor to recharge up to the REGN LDO value. After the 80ns, the low-side MOSFET is kept off to prevent negative inductor current from occurring.
At very low currents during non-synchronous operation, there may be a small amount of negative inductor current during the 80ns recharge pulse. The charge should be low enough to be absorbed by the input capacitance. Whenever the converter goes into zero percent duty-cycle, the high-side MOSFET does not turn on, and the low-side MOSFET does not turn on (only 80ns recharge pulse) either, and there is almost no discharge from the battery.
During the DCM mode the loop response automatically changes and has a single pole system at which the pole is proportional to the load current, because the converter does not sink current, and only the load provides a current sink. This means at very low currents the loop response is slower, as there is less sinking current available to discharge the output voltage.

Cycle-by-Cycle Charge Under Current Protection

If the SRP-SRN voltage decreases below 5mV (The charger is also forced into non-synchronous mode when the average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25mV), the low side FET will be turned off for the remainder of the switching cycle to prevent negative inductor current. During DCM, the low-side FET will only turn on for at around 80ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2V to provide refresh charge for the bootstrap capacitor. This is important to prevent negative inductor current from causing a boost effect in which the input voltage increases as power is transferred from the battery to the input capacitors and lead to an over-voltage stress on the VCC node and potentially cause damage to the system.

INPUT OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (ACOV)

ACOV provides protection to prevent system damage due to high input voltage. Once the adapter voltage reaches the ACOV threshold, charge is disabled and the battery is switched to system instead of adapter.

INPUT UNDER VOLTAGE LOCK OUT (UVLO)

The system must have a minimum VCC voltage to allow proper operation. This VCC voltage could come from either input adapter or battery, since a conduction path exists from the battery to VCC through the high side NMOS body diode. When VCC is below the UVLO threshold, all circuits on the IC are disabled, and the gate drive bias to ACFET and BATFET are disabled.

BATTERY OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

The converter will not allow the high-side FET to turn-on until the BAT voltage goes below 105% of the regulation voltage. This allows one-cycle response to an over-voltage condition – such as occurs when the load is removed or the battery is disconnected. An 8mA current sink from SRP to GND is on only during charge and allows discharging the stored output inductor energy that is transferred to the output capacitors. BATOVP will also suspend the safety timer.

CYCLE-BY-CYCLE CHARGE OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION

The charger has a secondary cycle-to-cycle over-current protection. It monitors the charge current, and prevents the current from exceeding 160% of the programmed charge current. The high-side gate drive turns off when the over-current is detected, and automatically resumes when the current falls below the over-current threshold.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN PROTECTION

The QFN package has low thermal impedance, which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the ambient, to keep junctions temperatures low. As added level of protection, the charger converter turns off and self-protects whenever the junction temperature exceeds the TSHUT threshold of 145°C. The charger stays off until the junction temperature falls below 130°C. Then the charger will soft-start again if all other enable charge conditions are valid. Thermal shutdown will also suspend the safety timer.

TEMPERATURE QUALIFICATION

The controller continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and GND. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and an external voltage divider typically develop this voltage. The controller compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charging is allowed. To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends charge and the safety timer and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. During the charge cycle the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(TCO) thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends charge and safety timer and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range. If the battery temperature is between the V(LTF) and the V(COOL) thresholds or between the V(HTF) and V(WARM) thresholds, charge is automatically reduced to I condition, set I

Timer Fault Recovery

The bq24630 provides a recovery method to deal with timer fault conditions. The following summarizes this method:
Condition 1: The battery voltage is above the recharge threshold and a timeout fault occurs. Recovery Method: The timer fault will clear when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold, and
battery detection will begin. Taking CE low or a POR condition will also clear the fault.
Condition 2: The battery voltage is below the RECHARGE threshold and a timeout fault occurs. Recovery Method: Under this scenario, the bq24630 applies the IFAULT current to the battery. This small
current is used to detect a battery removal condition and remains on as long as the battery voltage stays below the recharge threshold. If the battery voltage goes above the recharge threshold, the bq24630 disables the fault current and executes the recovery method described in Condition 1. Taking CE low or a POR condition will also clear the fault.

PG Output

The open drain PG(power good) output indicates whether the VCC voltage is valid or not. The open drain FET turns on whenever bq24630 has a valid VCC input ( not in UVLO or ACOV or SLEEP mode). The PG pin can be used to drive an LED or communicate to the host processor.

CE (Charge Enable)

The CE digital input is used to disable or enable the charge process. A high-level signal on this pin enables charge, provided all the other conditions for charge are met (see Enabling and Disabling Charge). A high to low transition on this pin also resets all timers and fault conditions. There is an internal 1 Mpulldown resistor on the CE pin, so if CE is floated the charge will not turn on.

INDUCTOR, CAPACITOR, AND SENSE RESISTOR SELECTION GUIDELINES

The bq24630 provides internal loop compensation. With this scheme, best stability occurs when the LC resonant frequency, fo, is approximately 10kHz – 15kHz per Equation 9:

Once the device has powered up, an 8mA discharge current will be applied to the SRN terminal. If the battery voltage falls below the LOWV threshold within 1 second, the discharge source is turned off, and the charger is turned on at low charge current (125mA). If the battery voltage gets up above the recharge threshold within 500ms, there is no battery present and the cycle restarts. If either the 500ms or 1 second timer time out before the respective thresholds are hit, a battery is detected and a charge cycle is initiated.
Figure 22. Battery Detect Timing Diagram
Care must be taken that the total output capacitance at the battery node is not so large that the discharge current source cannot pull the voltage below the LOWV threshold during the 1 second discharge time. The maximum output capacitance can be calculated as seen in Equation 10:

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Inductor Selection

The bq24630 has 300kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small inductor and capacitor values. Inductor saturation current should be higher than the charging current (I

The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VIN), duty cycle (D=V
) plus half the ripple current (I
OUT/VIN
), switching frequency (fs) and
RIPPLE
):
(12)
inductance (L):
(13)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5. For example, the battery charging voltage range is from 2.8V to 14.4V for 4-cell battery pack. For 20V adapter voltage, 10V battery voltage gives the maximum inductor ripple current.
Usually inductor ripple is designed in the range of (20–40%) maximum charging current as a trade-off between inductor size and efficiency for a practical design.
The bq24630 has cycle-by-cycle charge under current protection (UCP) by monitoring charging current sensing resistor to prevent negative inductor current. The Typical UCP threshold is 5mV falling edge corresponding to
0.5A falling edge for a 10mΩ charging current sensing resistor.

Input Capacitor

Input capacitor should have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching ripple current. The worst case RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate at 50% duty cycle, then the worst case capacitor RMS current I and can be estimated by the following equation:
occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50%
CIN
(14)
Low ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for input decoupling capacitor and should be placed to the drain of the high side MOSFET and source of the low side MOSFET as close as possible. Voltage rating of the capacitor must be higher than normal input voltage level. 25V rating or higher capacitor is preferred for 20V input voltage. 20µF capacitance is suggested for typical of 3-4A charging current.

Output Capacitor

Output capacitor also should have enough ripple current rating to absorb output switching ripple current. The output capacitor RMS current I
COUT
is given:
(15)
The output capacitor voltage ripple can be calculated as follows:
(16)
At certain input/output voltage and switching frequenccy, the voltage ripple can be reduced by increasing the output filter LC.
The bq24630 has internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 10 kHz and 15 kHz. The preferred ceramic capacitor is 25V, X7R or X5R for 4-cell application.

Power MOSFETs Selection

Two external N-channel MOSFETs are used for a synchronous switching battery charger. The gate drivers are internally integrated into the IC with 6V of gate drive voltage. 30V or higher voltage rating MOSFETs are preferred for 20V input voltage and 40V MOSFETs are prefered for 20-28V input voltage.

As a result all the freewheeling current goes through the body-diode of the bottom-side MOSFET.

Input Filter Design

During adapter hot plug-in, the parasitic inductance and input capacitor from the adapter cable form a second order system. The voltage spike at VCC pin maybe beyond IC maximum voltage rating and damage IC. The input filter must be carefully designed and tested to prevent over voltage event on VCC pin. ACP/ACN pin needs to be placed after the input ACFETs in order to avoid the over voltage stress and high dv/dt during hot-plug-in.
There are several methods to damping or limit the over voltage spike during adapter hot plug-in. An electrolytic capacitor with high ESR as an input capacitor can damp the over voltage spike well below the IC maximum pin voltage rating. A high current capability TVS Zener diode can also limit the over voltage level to an IC safe level. However these two solutions may not have low cost or small size.
A cost effective and small size solution is shown in Figure 23. The R1 and C1 are composed of a damping RC network to damp the hot plug-in oscillation. As a result the over voltage spike is limited to a safe level. D1 is used for reverse voltage protection for VCC pin ( it can be the body diode of input ACFET). C2 is VCC pin decoupling capacitor and it should be place to VCC pin as close as possible. The R2 and C2 form a damping RC network to further protect the IC from high dv/dt and high voltage spike. C2 value should be less than C1 value so R1 can dominant the equivalent ESR value to get enough damping effetc for hot plug-in. R1 and R2 package must be sized enough to handle static current and inrush current power loss according to resistor manufacturer’s datasheet. The filter components value always need to be verified with real application and minor adjustments may need to fit in the real application circuit.
Figure 23. Input Filter

PCB Layout

The switching node rise and fall times should be minimized for minimum switching loss. Proper layout of the components to minimize high frequency current path loop (see Figure 24) is important to prevent electrical and magnetic field radiation and high frequency resonant problems. Here is a PCB layout priority list for proper layout. Layout PCB according to this specific order is essential.
1. Place input capacitor as close as possible to switching MOSFET’s supply and ground connections and use shortest copper trace connection. These parts should be placed on the same layer of PCB instead of on different layers and using vias to make this connection.
2. The IC should be placed close to the switching MOSFET’s gate terminals and keep the gate drive signal traces short for a clean MOSFET drive. The IC can be placed on the other side of the PCB of switching MOSFETs.
3. Place inductor input terminal to switching MOSFET’s output terminal as close as possible. Minimize the copper area of this trace to lower electrical and magnetic field radiation but make the trace wide enough to carry the charging current. Do not use multiple layers in parallel for this connection. Minimize parasitic capacitance from this area to any other trace or plane.
4. The charging current sensing resistor should be placed right next to the inductor output. Route the sense leads connected across the sensing resistor back to the IC in same layer, close to each other (minimize loop area) and do not route the sense leads through a high-current path (see Figure 25 for Kelvin connection for best current accuracy). Place decoupling capacitor on these traces next to the IC.
5. Place output capacitor next to the sensing resistor output and ground.
6. Output capacitor ground connections need to be tied to the same copper that connects to the input capacitor ground before connecting to system ground.
7. Route analog ground separately from power ground and use single ground connection to tie charger power ground to charger analog ground. Just beneath the IC use analog ground copper pour but avoid power pins to reduce inductive and capacitive noise coupling. Connect analog ground to GND. Connect analog ground and power ground together using PowerPAD as the single ground connection point. Or using a 0Ω resistor to

tie analog ground to power ground (PowerPAD should tie to analog ground in this case). A star-connection under PowerPAD is highly recommended.
8. It is critical that the exposed PowerPAD on the backside of the IC package be soldered to the PCB ground. Ensure that there are sufficient thermal vias directly under the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the other layers.
9. Decoupling capacitors should be placed next to the IC pins and make trace connection as short as possible.
10. All via size and number should be enough for a given current path.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check
http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
