OOppeerraattiioonn
The HX6202 is a constant current, constant voltage Li-Ion battery charger controller that uses a current
mode PWM step-down (buck) switching architecture. The charge current is set by an external sense
resistor (R3) across the PROG and FB pins. The final battery float voltage is internally set to 4.2V. For
batteries like lithium-ion that require accurate final float voltage, the internal reference, voltage amplifier
and the resistor divider provide regulation with high accuracy.
A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VIN pin rises above the UVLO level and is 250mV or
greater than the battery voltage. At the beginning of the charge cycle, if the battery voltage is less than
the trickle charge threshold, the charger goes into trickle charge mode. The trickle charge current is
internally set to 9% of the full-scale current.
When the battery voltage exceeds the trickle charge threshold, the charger goes into the full-scale
constant current charge mode. In constant current mode, the charge current is set by the external sense
resistor R3 and an internal 170mV reference; I
When the battery voltage approaches the programmed float voltage, the charge current will start to
decrease. When the current drops to 15% of the full-scale charge current, an internal comparator turns
off the internal pull-down N-channel MOSFET at the CHRG pin, and connects a weak current source to
ground to indicate a end-of-charge condition and then the charge cycle is terminated and the CHRG pin
is forced high impedance.
= 170mV/R3.
OUT
To restart the charge cycle, remove and reapply the input voltage or momentarily shut the charger down.
Also, a new charge cycle will begin if the battery voltage drops below the recharge threshold voltage.
When the input voltage is present, the charger can be shut down. When the input voltage is not present,
the charger goes into sleep mode. This will greatly reduce the current drain on the battery and increase
the standby time.
A 10kΩ TS (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor can be connected from the TS pin to ground for
battery temperature qualification.

Battery Temperature Monitoring
The HX6202 continuously monitors temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS and GND
pin. An internal current source provides the bias for most common 10-kΩ negative-temperature
coefficient thermistors. The HX6202 compares this voltage against its internal V
TS1
and V
thresholds

to determine if charging is allowed (See Figure 3).

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input voltage and keeps the charger off until VIN rises
above the UVLO threshold (4.2V ) and at least 250mV above the battery voltage. To prevent oscillation
around the threshold voltage, the UVLO circuit has 200mV per cell of built-in hysteresis. When
specifying minimum input voltage requirements, the voltage drop across the input blocking diode must
be added to the minimum supply voltage specification.
Trickle Charge
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below the trickle charge threshold, the
charger goes into trickle charge mode with the charge current reduced to 9% of the full-scale current.

Shutdown
The HX6202 can be shut down by pulling the EN pin to ground. In shutdown, the output of the CHRG
pin is high impedance and the quiescent current remains at 4.3uA.
Input and Output Capacitors
Since the input capacitor is assumed to absorb all input switching ripple current in the converter, it must
have an adequate ripple current rating. Worst-case RMS ripple current is approximately one-half of
output charge current. Actual capacitance value is not critical. Solid tantalum capacitors have a high
ripple current rating in a relatively small surface mount package, but caution must be used when
tantalum capacitors are used for input bypass. High input surge currents can be created when the
adapter is hot-plugged to the charger and solid tantalum capacitors have a known failure mechanism
when subjected to very high turn-on surge currents. Selecting the highest possible voltage rating on the
capacitor will minimize problems. Consult with the manufacturer before use. The selection of output
capacitor COUT is primarily determined by the ESR required to minimize ripple voltage and load step
transients. The output ripple
Δ
VOUT is approximately bounded by:
HHXX6622002
2
Since ΔIL increases with input voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage. Typically,
once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering and has the necessary
RMS current rating.
Switching ripple current splits between the battery and the output capacitor depending on the ESR of
the output capacitor and the battery impedance. EMI considerations usually make it desirable to
minimize ripple current in the battery leads. Ferrite beads or an inductor may be added to increase
battery impedance at the 500kHz switching frequency. If the ESR of the output capacitor is 0.2
the battery impedance is raised to 4Ω with a bead or inductor, only 5% of the current ripple will flow in
the battery.
