These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The bq24745 features dynamic power management (DPM) and input power limiting. These features reduce
battery-charge current when the input power limit is reached to avoid overloading the ac adaptor 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, allowing monitoring the overall system power. If the adapter
current is above the programmed low-power threshold, a signal is sent to host so that the system optimizes its
performance to the power available from the adapter. An integrated comparator monitors the input current
through the current-sense amplifier, and indicates when the input current exceeds a programmable threshold
limit.

SMBus
The bq24745 receives control inputs from the SMBus interface. The bq24745 uses a simplified subset of the
commands documented in System Management Bus Specification V1.1, which can be downloaded from
www.smbus.org. The bq24745 uses the SMBus Read-Word and Write-Word protocols (Figure 33) to
communicate with the smart battery. The bq24745 performs only as an SMBus slave device with address
0b0001 001_ (0x12) and does not initiate communication on the bus. In addition, the bq24745 has two
identification (ID) registers (0xFE): a 16-bit device ID register and a 16-bit manufacturer ID register (0xFF).
The data (SDA) and clock (SCL) pins have Schmitt-trigger inputs that can accommodate slow edges. Choose
pullup resistors (10 kΩ, typ.) for SDA and SCL to achieve rise times according to the SMBus specifications.
Communication starts when the master signals a START condition, which is a high-to-low transition on SDA,
while SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating, the master issues a STOP condition, which is a
low-to-high transition on SDA, while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another transmission. Figure 34 and
Figure 35 show the timing diagram for signals on the SMBus interface. The address byte, command byte, and
data bytes are transmitted between the START and STOP conditions. The SDA state changes only while SCL is
low, except for the START and STOP conditions. Data is transmitted in 8-bit bytes and is sampled on the rising
edge of SCL. Nine clock cycles are required to transfer each byte in or out of the bq24745 because either the
master or the slave acknowledges the receipt of the correct byte during the ninth clock cycle.
The bq24745 uses a high-accuracy voltage regulator for charging voltage. The battery voltage regulation setting
is programmed by the host microcontroller (µC), through the SMBus interface that sets an 11-bit DAC. The
battery termination voltage is a function of the battery chemistry. Consult the battery manufacturer to determine
this voltage.
The VFB pin is used to sense the battery voltage for voltage regulation and should be connected as close to the
battery as possible, or directly on the output capacitor. A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from VFB to GND is
recommended to be as close to the VFB pin as possible to decouple high-frequency noise.
To set the output charge-voltage regulation limit, use the SMBus to write a 16-bit ChargeVoltage() command
using the data format listed in Table 3. The ChargeVoltage() command uses the Write-Word protocol (see
Figure 33). The command code for ChargeVoltage() is 0x15 (0b0001 0101). The bq24745 provides a 1.024-V to
19.200-V charge voltage range, with 16-mV resolution. Setting ChargeVoltage() below 1.024 V or above 19.2 V
clears the DAC and terminates charge.
On reset, the ChargeVoltage() and ChargeCurrent() values are cleared (0) and the charger remains off until both
the ChargeVoltage() and the ChargeCurrent() commands are sent. During reset, both high-side and low-side
FETs remain off until the charger is started.

CHARGE CURRENT REGULATION
The ChargeCurrent() SMBus 6-bit DAC register sets the maximum charging current. Battery current is sensed by
resistor RSRconnected between the CSOP and CSON pins. The maximum full-scale differential voltage between
CSOP and CSON is 80.64 mV. Thus, for a 0.010-Ω sense resistor, the maximum charging current is 8.064 A.
The CSOP and CSON pins are used to measure the voltage across RSR, which has a default value of 10 mΩ.
However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger sense resistor results in a larger sense voltage and
higher regulation accuracy, but at the expense of higher conduction loss.
To set the charge current, use the SMBus to write a 16-bit ChargeCurrent() command using the data format
listed in Table 4. The ChargeCurrent() command uses the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 33). The command
code for ChargeCurrent() is 0x14 (0b0001 0100). When using a 10-mΩ sense resistor, the bq24745 provides a
charge current range of 128 mA to 8.064 A, with 128-mA resolution. Set ChargeCurrent() to 0 to terminate
charging. Setting ChargeCurrent() below 128 mA, or above 8.064 A, clears DAC and terminates charge.
The bq24745 includes a foldback current limit when the battery voltage is low. If the battery voltage is less than
3.6 V but above 2.5 V, any charge current limit above 3 A is clamped at 3 A. If the battery voltage is less than
2.5 V, the charge current is set to 220 mA until that voltage rises above 2.7 V. The ChargeCurrent() register is
preserved and becomes active again when the battery voltage is higher than 2.7 V. This function effectively
provides a fold-back current limit, which protects the charger during short circuit and overload.
On reset, the ChargeVoltage() and ChargeCurrent() values are cleared (0) and the charger remains off until both
the ChargeVoltage() and the ChargeCurrent() commands are sent. During reset, both high-side and low-side
FETs remain off until the charger is started.

INPUT ADAPTER CURRENT REGULATION
The total input current from an ac adapter or other dc source is a function of the system supply current and the
battery charging current. System current normally fluctuates as portions of the system 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 to keep the input current from exceeding the limit set by the Input Current SMBus 6-bit DAC
register. With high-accuracy limiting, the current capability of the ac adaptor can be lowered, reducing system
cost.
The CSSP and CSSN pins are used to sense RACwith a default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other
values can also be used. A larger a sense resistor results in a larger sense voltage and a higher regulation
accuracy, but at the expense of higher conduction loss.
The total input current, from a wall cube or other dc source, is the sum of the system supply current and the
current required by the charger. When the input current exceeds the set input current limit, the bq24745
decreases the charge current to provide priority to system load current. As the system supply rises, the available
charge current drops linearly to zero.

where η is the efficiency of the dc-dc converter (typically 85% to 95%).
To set the input current limit, use the SMBus to write a 16-bit InputCurrent() command using the data format
listed in Table 5. The InputCurrent() command uses the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 33). The command
code for InputCurrent() is 0x3F (0b0011 1111). When using a 10-mΩ sense resistor, the bq24745 provides an
input-current limit range of 256 mA to 11.008 A, with 256-mA resolution. InputCurrent() settings from 1 mA to
256 mA clears DAC and terminates charge. On reset the input current limit is 256 mA.

ADAPTER DETECT AND POWER UP
An external resistor voltage divider attenuates the adapter voltage before it goes to ACIN. The adapter-detect
threshold should typically be programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery voltage and lower than
the minimum allowed adapter voltage. The ACIN divider should be placed before the input power path selector in
order to sense the true adapter input voltage.
If DCIN is below 4 V, the charger is disabled.
If ACIN is below 0.6 V but DCIN is above 4.5 V, AC and VICM are disabled and pulled down to GND. The total
quiescent current is less than 10 µA.
Once ACIN rises above 0.6 V and DCIN is above 4.5 V, VREF goes to 3.3 V and all the bias circuits are
enabled. ACOK low indicates ACIN still below 2.4 V, and the valid adaptor is not available. VICM becomes valid
to reflect the adapter current.
When ACIN keeps rising and passes 2.4 V, a valid ac adapter is present. 100 µs later, the following occurs:
•ACOK becomes high through an external pullup resistor to the host digital voltage rail.
•The charger turns on if all the conditions are satisfied. (see Enable and Disable Charging)
SLUS761D –DECEMBER 2007– REVISED OCTOBER 2011
ENABLE AND DISABLE CHARGING
The following conditions must be valid before charging is enabled:
•Not in UVLO (DCIN > 4.5 V, and VDDSMB >2.5 V)
•Adapter is detected (ACIN > 2.4 V).
•Adapter – Battery voltage is higher than the V
DCIN-VFB
comparator threshold.
•200-μs delay is complete after adapter detection.
•SMBus ChargeVoltage(),ChargeCurrent() and InputCurrent() DAC registers are inside the valid range.
•CE is HIGH.
•2-ms delay is complete after adapter is detected and CE goes HIGH.
•VDDP and VREF are valid.
•Not in thermal shutdown (TSHUT)
Any of the following conditions stops ongoing charging:
•SMBus ChargeVoltage(), ChargeCurrent(), or InputCurrent() DAC register is outside the valid range.
•CE is LOW.
•Adapter is removed (DCIN <4 V).
•VDDSMB supply is removed. (VDDSMB <2.35 V)
•Adapter – Battery voltage is less than V
DCIN-VFB
comparator threshold.
•Battery is over voltage.
•In thermal shutdown: TSHUT IC temperature threshold is above 155°C.
AUTOMATIC INTERNAL SOFT-START CHARGER CURRENT
The charger automatically soft-starts the output regulation current every time the charger is enabled 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 in eight evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current.
Each step lasts around 1.6 ms, for a typical rise time of 12.8 ms. No external components are needed for this
function. The regulation limits can be changed in the middle of charging without soft start.
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixe- frequency (300 kHz) 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 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 selected gives a characteristic resonant frequency that is used to determine the
compensation to ensure there is sufficient phase margin for the target bandwidth.
The resonant frequency, fo, is given by:
An internal sawtooth ramp is compared to the internal EAO error control signal to vary the duty cycle of the
converter. The ramp height is one-fifteenth 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 200 mV 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 sawtooth ramp signal in order to
get a 100% duty-cycle PWM request. Internal gate-drive logic allows achieving 99.98% duty cycle while ensuring
the N-channel upper device always has enough voltage to stay fully on. If the BOOT pin to PHASE pin voltage
falls below 4 V for more than three 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 PHASE node down and recharge the BOOT
capacitor. Then the high-side driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the (BOOT-PHASE) voltage is
detected to fall low again due to leakage current discharging the BOOT capacitor below 4 V, and the recharge
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 the frequency out of
the audible noise region. The type-III compensation provides phase boost near the cross-over frequency, giving
sufficient phase margin.

CONTINUOUS AND DISCONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODES
In continuous-conduction mode (CCM), the inductor current always flows to charge the battery, and the charger
always operates in synchronized mode. At the beginning of each clock cycle, the high-side n-channel power
MOSFET turns on, and the turnon time is set by the voltage on EAO pin. After the high-side power MOSFET
turns off, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET turns on. During CCM, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET
stays on until the end of the clock cycle. The internal gate-drive logic ensures there is break-before-make
switching to prevent shoot-through currents. During the 25-ns dead time where both FETs are off, the back 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. With type-III compensation, the loop has a fixed
2-pole system.
Before the ripple valley current gets close to zero, the low-side FET must turn off before current goes negative,
or flows from the battery to the PHASE node, to avoid battery boosting the system. After the high-side n-channel
power MOSFET turns off, and after the break-before-make dead-time, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET
turns on for a blank-out time. After the blank-out time is over, if the V
CSOP-CSON
threshold (typical 10 mV), the low-side power MOSFET turns off and stays off until the beginning of the next
cycle, where the high-side power MOSFET is turned on again. After the low-side MOSFET turns off, the inductor
current flows through back-gate diode until it reaches zero. The negative inductor current is blocked by the diode,
and the inductor current becomes discontinuous. This mode is called discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM).
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. At very low currents during non-synchronous operation, there may be a
small amount of negative inductor current during the 40-ns 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 (no 40-ns recharge pulse) either, and there is no discharge from the battery
unless the BOOT to PHASE voltage discharges below 4 V. In that case, it pulses once to recharge the bootstrap
capacitor.
If the BOOT pin to PHASE pin voltage falls below 4 V for more than three cycles, then the high-side n-channel
power MOSFET is turned off and the low-side n-channel power MOSFET is turned on for 40 ns to pull the
PHASE node down and recharge the BOOT capacitor. The 40-ns low-side MOSFET on-time is required protect
from ringing noise, and to ensure the bootstrap capacitor is always recharged and able to keep the high-side
power MOSFET on during the next cycle.
UCP (CHARGE UNDERCURRENT), USING SENSE RESISTOR
In the bq24745, the cycle-by-cycle UCP allows using very small inductors seamlessly, even if they have large
ripple current. Every cycle when the low-side MOSFET turns-on, if the CSOP-CSON voltage falls below 10 mV
(inductor current falls below 1 A if using a 10-mΩ sense resistor), the low-side MOSFET is latched off until the
next cycle begins and resets the latch.
The converter automatically detects when to turn off the low-side MOSFET every cycle. The converter goes into
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) when the current falls below 1/2 the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple.
The inductor current ripple is given by
where
VIN: adapter voltage = DCIN voltage

OUT
For proper cycle-by-cycle UCP sensing, the output filter capacitor should sit on CSON. Only a 0.1-µF capacitor is
on CSOP, close to the device input.

AVERAGE CHARGE OVERCURRENT, USING SENSE AMPLIFIER
The charger has average overcurrent protection using the V
resistor. It monitors the charge current, and prevents the current from exceeding 145% of the programmed
regulated charge current. If the charge current limit falls below 3.3 A (on 10 mΩ), the overcurrent limit is fixed at
5 A. The high-side gate drive turns off when the overcurrent is detected, and automatically resumes when the
current falls below the overcurrent threshold. There is an internal 160-kHz filter pole, to filter the switching
frequency and prevent false tripping. This adds a small delay, depending on the amount of overdrive over the
threshold.
BATTERY OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION, USING REMOTE SENSING VFB
The converter does not allow switching when the battery voltage at VFB exceeds 104% of the regulation voltage
set-point. Once the VFB voltage returns below 102% of the regulation voltage, switching resumes. This allows
quick response to an overvoltage condition, such as occurs when the load is removed or the battery is
disconnected. A current sink from CSOP and CSON to GND is on only during charging and allows discharging
the stored output inductor energy that is transferred to the output capacitors.
BATTERY TRICKLE CHARGING
The bq24745 automatically reduces the charge current limit to a fixed 220 mA to trickle-charge the battery when
the voltage on the VFB pin falls below 2.5 V. The charge current returns to the value programmed on the
ChargeCurrent(0x14) register when the VFB pin voltage rises above 2.7 V.
This function provides a safe trickle charge to close deeply discharged open packs.
HIGH-ACCURACY VICM USING CURRENT-SENSE AMPLIFIER (CSA)
An industry standard, high-accuracy current-sense amplifier (CSA) is used to monitor the input current by the
host or some discrete logic through the analog voltage output of the VICM pin. The CSA amplifies the input
sensed voltage of CSSP-CSSN by 20× through the VICM pin. The VICM output is a voltage source 20 times the
input differential voltage. Once DCIN is above 4.5 V and ACIN is above 0.6 V, VICM no longer stays at ground,
but becomes active. A user wanting to lower the voltage could use a resistor divider from VICM to GND and still
achieve accuracy over temperature.
A 100-pF capacitor connected on the output is recommended for decoupling high-frequency noise.
VDDSMB INPUT SUPPLY
The VDDSMB input provides bias power to the SMBus interface logic. Connect VDDSMB to an external 3.3-V or
5-V supply rail. SMBus communication can start between host and charger when the VDDSMB voltage is above
2.5 V and the VREF voltage is at 3.3 V. Bypass VDDSMB to GND with a 0.1-µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
INPUT UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The system must have a minimum 4.5-V DCIN voltage to allow proper operation. When the DCIN voltage is
below 4 V, VREF LDO stays inactive, even with ACIN above 0.6 V. VREF turns on when DCIN > 4.5 V and ACIN
> 0.6 V. To enable VDDP requires DCIN > 4.5 V, ACIN > 2.4 V, and CE = HIGH.
VDDP GATE DRIVE REGULATOR
An integrated low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator provides a 6-V supply derived from DCIN for high efficiency,
and delivers over 90 mA of load current. The LDO powers the gate drivers of the n-channel switching MOSFETs.
Bypass VDDP to PGND with a 1-µF or greater ceramic capacitor. During thermal shutdown, the VDDP LDO is
disabled.

INPUT CURRENT COMPARATOR TRIP DETECTION
In order to optimize the system performance, the host monitors the adapter current. Once the adapter current is
above a threshold set via ICREF, the ICOUT pin sends a signal to the HOST. The signal alarms the host that
input power has exceeded the programmed limit, allowing the host to throttle back system power by reducing
clock frequency, lowering rail voltages, or disabling certain parts of the system. The ICOUT pin is an open-drain
output. Connect a pullup resistor to ICOUT. The output is logic HI when the VICM output voltage (VICM = 20 ×
V
CSSP-CSSN
using VREF. The hysteresis can be programmed by a positive feedback resistor from the ICOUT pin to the
ICREF pin.
) is lower than the ICREF input voltage. The ICREF threshold is set by an external resistor divider
Two status outputs are available; both require external pullup resistors to pull the pins to the system digital rail for
a high level.
The ACOK open-drain output goes high when ACIN is above 2.4 V. It indicates that a functional adapter is
providing a valid input voltage.
The ICOUT open-drain output goes low when the input current is higher than the threshold programmed via the
ICREF pin. Hysteresis can be programmed by adding a resistor from the ICREF pin to the ICOUT pin.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The QFN package has low thermal impedance, which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the
ambient, to keep the junction temperature low. As an added level of protection, the charger converter turns off
and self-protects whenever the junction temperature exceeds the TSHUT threshold of 155°C. VDDP LDO is
disabled as well during thermal shutdown. The charger stays off until the junction temperature falls below 135°C.
Once the temperature drops below 135°C, the VDDP LDO is enabled. If all the conditions described in the
Enable and Disable Charging section are valid, charge soft-starts again.
CHARGER TIME-OUT
The bq24745 includes a timer to terminate charging if the charger does not receive a ChargeVoltage() or
ChargeCurrent() command within 170 s. If a time-out occurs, both ChargeVoltage() and ChargeCurrent()
commands must be resent to re-enable charging.
CHARGE TERMINATION FOR Li-Ion OR Li-Polymer
The primary termination method for Li-Ion and Li-Polymer is minimum current. Secondary temperature
termination (see the Charge Current Regulation section) also provides additional safety. The host controls the
charge initiation and the termination. A battery pack gas gauge assists the hosts on setting the voltages and
determining when to terminate based on the battery-pack state of charge.
The bq24745 has a dedicated remote sense pin, VFB, which allows the rejection of board resistance and
selector resistance. To use remote sensing fully, connect VFB directly to the battery interface through an
unshared battery-sense Kelvin trace, and place a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor near the VFB pin to GND (see
Figure 1).
Remote Kelvin sensing provides higher regulation accuracy by eliminating parasitic voltage drops. Remote
sensing cancels the effect of impedance in series with the battery. This impedance normally causes the battery
charger to enter constant-voltage mode prematurely.
