The bq24780S device supports hybrid power boost
mode (previously called "turbo boost mode"). It allows
battery discharge energy to system when system
power demand is temporarily higher than adapter
maximum power level. Therefore, adapter does not
crash.
The bq24780S device uses two charge pumps to
separatelydriveN-channel MOSFETs(ACFET,
RBFET, and BATFET) for automatic system power
source selection.

The bq24780S is a 1-4 cell battery charge controller with power selection for space-constrained, multi-chemistry
portable applications such as notebook and detachable ultrabook. It supports wide input range of input sources
from 4.5 V to 24 V, and 1-4 cell battery for a versatile solution.
The bq24780S supports automatic system power source selection with separate drivers for n-channel MOSFETS
on the adapter side and battery side.
The bq24780S features Dynamic Power Management (DPM) to limit the input power and avoid AC adapter overloading. During battery charging, as the system power increases, the charging current will reduce to maintain
total input current below adapter rating. If system power demand is temporarily exceeds adapter rating, the
bq24780S supports hybrid power boost mode (previously called "turbo boost mode") to allow battery discharge
energy to supplement system power. For details of hybrid power boost mode, refer to Device Functional Modes
section.
The bq24780S closely monitors system power (PMON), input current (IADP) and battery discharge current
(IDCHG) with highly accurate current sense amplifiers. If current is too high, adapter or battery is removed, a
PROCHOT signal is asserted to CPU so that the CPU optimizes its performance to the power available to the
system.
The SMBus controls input current, charge current and charge voltage registers with high resolution, high
accuracy regulation limits. It also sets the PROCHOT timing and threshold profile to meet system requirements.
The bq24780S gets power from adapter or battery. After VCC is above its UVLO threshold, the device wakes up
and starts communication.
7.3.1.1 Battery Only
When VCC voltage is above UVLO, bq24780S powers up to turn on BATFET and starts SMBus communication.
By default, bq24780S stays in low power mode (REG0x12[15] = 1) with lowest quiescent current. When
REG0x12[15] is set to 0, the device enters performance mode. User can enable IDCHG buffer, PMON,
PROCHOT or comparator through SMBus. REGN LDO is enabled (except for IDCHG buffer) for accurate
reference.
7.3.1.2 Adapter Detect and ACOK Output
An external resistor divider attenuates the adapter voltage before it goes to ACDET. The adapter detect
threshold should typically be programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery voltage, but lower than
the maximum allowed adapter voltage. When ACDET is above 0.6V, all bias circuits are enabled.
The open drain ACOK output can be pulled to external rail under the following conditions:

The REG0x37[11] tracks the status of ACOK pin. ACOK deglitch time is 150ms at the first time adapter plug-in,
and 1.3 sec at the following plug-ins after VCC or SRN is above its UVLOZ.

7.3.1.2.1 Adapter Overvoltage (ACOVP)
When the VCC pin voltage is higher than 26 V, it is considered adapter over voltage. ACOK is pulled low, and
charge is disabled. ACFET/RBFET are turned off to disconnect the high voltage adapter to system during
ACOVP. BATFET is turned on if turn-on conditions are valid.
When VCC voltage falls below 24 V, it is considered as adapter voltage returns back to normal voltage. ACOK is
pulled high by an external pullup resistor. BATFET is turned off and ACFET and RBFET is turned on to power
the system from the adapter.
7.3.2 System Power Selection
The bq24780S device automatically switches adapter or battery power to system. An automatic break-beforemake logic prevents shoot-through currents when the selectors switch.
The ACDRV drives a pair of common-source (CMSRC) N-channel power MOSFETs (ACFET and RBFET)
between adapter and ACP. The ACFET separates adapter from system and battery, and provides a limited di/dt
when plugging in adapter by controlling the ACFET turn-on time. Meanwhile, it protects the adapter when the
system or battery is shorted. The RBFET provides negative input voltage protection and battery discharge
protection when adapter is shorted to ground, and minimizes system power dissipation with its low R
DS(on)
compared to a Schottky diode.
When the adapter is not present, ACDRV is pulled to CMSRC to keep ACFET and RBFET off, disconnecting the
adapter from the system. BATDRV stays at V

+ 6 V to connect battery to system if all of the following
conditions are valid:
•VCC> V
•V
ACN
< V
UVLO
SRN
+ 200 mV
•ACFET/RBFET off
After the adapter plugs in, the system power source switches from battery to adapter if all of the following
+ 6 V. If the ACFET/RBFET have been turned on for 20
CMSRC
ms, and the voltage across gate and source is still less than 5.7 V, ACFET and RBFET are turned off. After 1.3s
delay, it resumes turning on ACFET and RBFET. If such a failure is detected seven times within 90 seconds,
ACFET/RBFET are latched off and an adapter removal and system shut down is required to force ACDET < 0.6
V to reset the IC. After IC reset from latch off, ACFET/RBFET can be turned on again. After 90 seconds, the
failure counter is reset to zero to prevent latch off.
To turn off ACFET/RBFET, one of the following conditions must be valid:
•In LEARN mode and V
is above battery depletion threshold;
SRN
•ACOK low
To limit the adapter inrush current during ACFET turn-on, the Cgs and Cgd external capacitor of ACFET must be
carefully selected following the guidelines below:
•Minimize total capacitance on system
•Cgs should be 40× or higher than Cgd to avoid ACFET false turn on during adapter hot plug-in
•Fully turn on ACFET within 20 ms, otherwise, charger IC will consider turn-on failure
•Check with MOSFET vendor on peak current rating
•Place 4-kΩ resistor in series with ACDRV, CMSRC, and BATDRV pin to limit inrush current.
7.3.3 Enable and Disable Charging
In charge mode, the following conditions have to be valid to start charge:
•Charge is enabled through SMBus (REG0x12[0], default is 0, charge enabled)
•ILIM pin voltage is higher than 120 mV
•All ChargeCurrent(), ChargeVoltage() and InputCurrent() registers have valid value programmed
•ACOK is valid (see Device Power Up for details)
•ACFET and RBFET turn on and gate voltage is high enough (see System Power Selection for details)
•V
does not exceed BATOVP threshold
SRN
•IC temperature does not exceed TSHUT threshold
•Not in ACOC condition (see Device Protections Features for details)
One of the following conditions stops on-going charging:
•Charge is inhibited through SMBus(REG0x12[0]=1)
•ILIM pin voltage is lower than 60 mV
•One of three registers is set to 0 or out of range
•ACOK is pulled low (see Device Power Up for details)
•ACFET turns off
•V
exceeds BATOVP threshold
SRN
•TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached
•ACOC is detected (see Device Protections Features for details)
•Short circuit is detected (see Inductor Short, MOSFET Short Protection for details)
•Watchdog timer expires if watchdog timer is enabled (see Charger Timeout for details)
7.3.3.1 Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current
Every time the charge is enabled, the charger automatically applies soft-start on charge current to avoid any
overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The charge current starts at 128 mA, and
the step size is 64 mA in CCM mode for a 10 mΩ current sensing resistor. Each step lasts around 400 μs in
CCM mode, till it reaches the programmed charge current limit. No external components are needed for this
function.
During DCM mode, the soft start up current step size is larger and each step lasts for longer time period due to
the intrinsic slow response of DCM mode.
