Description
The MCP73871 device is a fully integrated linear
solution for system load sharing and Li-Ion / Li-Polymer
battery charge management with ac-dc wall adapter
and USB port power sources selection. Its also
capable of autonomous power source selection
between input or battery. Along with its small physical
size, the low number of required external components
makes the device ideally suited for portable
applications.
The MCP73871 device automatically obtains power for
the system load from a single-cell Li-Ion battery or an
input power source (ac-dc wall adapter or USB port).
The MCP73871 device specifically adheres to the
current drawn limits governed by the USB specification.
With an ac-dc wall adapter providing power to the
system, an external resistor sets the magnitude of 1A
maximum charge current while supports up to 1.8A
total current for system load and battery charge
current.
The MCP73871 device employs a constant current /
constant voltage (CC/CV) charge algorithm with
selectable charge termination point. The constant
voltage regulation is fixed with four available options:
4.10V, 4.20V, 4.35V, or 4.40V to accommodate new,
emerging battery charging requirements. The
MCP73871 device also limits the charge current based
on die temperature during high power or high ambient
conditions. This thermal regulation optimizes the
charge cycle time while maintaining device reliability.
The MCP73871 device includes a low battery indicator,
a power-good indicator and two charge status
indicators that allows for outputs with LEDs or
communication with host microcontrollers. The
MCP73871 device is fully specified over the ambient
temperature range of -40C to +85C.

Note:
3.1
The input pins should always tie to either High or Low, and never allow floating to ensure operation properly.
Power Supply Input (IN)
A supply voltage of VREG + 0.3V to 6V is

recommended. Bypass to VSS with a minimum of
4.7 F.
3.2
System Output Terminal (OUT)
The MCP73871 device powers the system via output

terminals while independently charging the battery.
This feature reduces the charge and discharge cycles
on the battery, allows for proper charge termination and
the system to run with an absent or defective battery
pack. Also, this feature gives the system priority on
input power, allowing the system to power-up with
deeply depleted battery packs. Bypass to VSS with a
minimum of 4.7 F is recommended.
3.3
Voltage Proportional Charge

Control (VPCC)
If the voltage on the IN pin drops to a preset value,

determined by the threshold established at the VPCC
input, due to a limited amount of input current or input
source impedance, the battery charging current is
reduced. Further demand from the system is supported
by the battery, if possible. To active this feature, simply
supply 1.23V or greater to VPCC pin. This feature can
be disabled by connecting the VPCC pin to IN.
For example, a system is designed with a 5.5V rated
DC power supply with 0.5V tolerance. The worst
condition of 5V is selected, which is used to calculate
the VPCC supply voltage with divider.
DS22090B-page 15

The voltage divider equation is shown below:
R2
V VPCC = ------------------- V IN = 1.23V
R 1 + R 2
110k
1.23V = ------------------------------ 5V
110k + R 1
R 1 = 337.2k
The calculated R1 equals to 337.2 k when 110 k is
selected for R2. The 330 k resistor is selected for R1
to build the voltage divider for VPCC.

Input Source Type Selection (SEL)
The input source type selection (SEL) pin is used to

select input power source for input current limit control
feature. With the SEL input High, the MCP73871
device is designed to provide a typical 1.65A to system
power and charge Li-Ion battery from a regular 5V wall
adapter. The MCP73871 device limits the input current
up to 1.8A. When SEL active Low, the input source is
designed to provide system power and Li-Ion battery
charging from a USB Port input while adhering to the
current limits governed by the USB specification.

3.8
Charge Current Regulation Set

(PROG1)
The maximum constant charge current is set by placing

a resistor from PROG1 to VSS. PROG1 sets the
maximum constant charge current for both ac-dc
adapter and USB port. However, the actual charge
current is based on input source type and system load
requirement.
3.9
USB-Port Current Regulation Set

(PROG2)
The MCP73871 device USB-Port current regulation set

input (PROG2) is a digital input selection. A logic Low
selects a 1 unit load input current from USB port
(100 mA); a logic High selects a 5 unit loads input
current from USB port (500 mA).
3.10
Charge Status Output 1 (STAT1)
STAT1 is an open-drain logic output for connection to

an LED for charge status indication. Alternatively, a
pull-up resistor can be applied for interfacing to a host
microcontroller. Refer to Table 5-1 for a summary of the
status output during a charge cycle.
3.11
Charge Status Output 2 (STAT2)
STAT2 is an open-drain logic output for connection to

an LED for charge status indication. Alternatively, a
pull-up resistor can be applied for interfacing to a host
microcontroller. Refer to Table 5-1 for a summary of the
status output during a charge cycle.
3.12
Power-Good (PG)
The power-good (PG) is an open-drain logic output for

input power supply indication. The PG output is low
whenever the input to the MCP73871 device is above
the UVLO threshold and greater than the battery
voltage. The PG output can be used as an indication to
the user via an illuminated LED or to the system via a
pull-up resistor for interfacing to a host microcontroller
that an input source other than the battery is supplying
power. Refer to Table 5-1 for a summary of the status
output during a charge cycle.
3.13
Low Battery Output (LBO)
STAT1 also serves as low battery output (LBO) if the

selected MCP73871 is equipped with this feature. It
reminds the system or end user when the Li-Ion battery
voltage level is low. The LBO feature enables when the
system is running from the Li-Ion batteries. The LBO
indicator can be used as an indication to the user via lit
up LED or to the system via a pull-up resistor for
interfacing to a host microcontroller that an input
source other than the battery is supplying power. Refer
to Table 5-1 for a summary of the status output during
a charge cycle.
MCP73871
3.14
Timer Enable (TE)
The timer enable (TE) feature is used to enable or

disable the internal timer. A low signal on this pin
enables the internal timer and a high signal disables
the internal timer. The TE input can be used to disable
the timer when the system load is substantially limiting
the available supply current to charge the battery. The
TE input is compatible with 1.8V logic.
Note:
3.15
The built-in safety timer is available for the

following options: 4 HR, 6 HR and 8 HR.
Battery Temperature Monitor

(THERM)
3.16
Charge Enable (CE)
With the CE input Low, the Li-Ion battery charger

feature of the MCP73871 will be disabled. The charger
feature is enabled when CE is active High. Allowing the
CE pin to float during the charge cycle may cause
system instability. The CE input is compatible with 1.8V
logic. Refer to Section 6.0 Applications for various
applications in designing with CE features.
3.17
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal electrical connection between the

Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the VSS pin; they must
be connected to the same potential.
The MCP73871 device continuously monitor battery

temperature during a charge cycle by measuring the
voltage between the THERM and VSS pins. An internal
50 A current source provides the bias for most
common 10 k negative-temperature coefficient
thermistors (NTC). The MCP73871 device compares
the voltage at the THERM pin to factory set thresholds
of 1.24V and 0.25V, typically. Once a voltage outside
the thresholds is detected during a charge cycle, the
MCP73871 device immediately suspends the charge
cycle. The charge cycle resumes when the voltage at
the THERM pin returns to the normal range. The
charge temperature window can be set by placing fixed
value resistors in series-parallel with a thermistor.
Refer to Section 6.0 Applications for calculations
of resistance values.

UnderVoltage Lockout (UVLO)
4.4
An internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit

monitors the input voltage and keeps the charger in
shutdown mode until the input supply rises above the
UVLO threshold.
In the event a battery is present when the input power
is applied, the input supply must rise approximately
100 mV above the battery voltage before the
MCP73871 device become operational.
The UVLO circuit places the device in shutdown mode
if the input supply falls to approximately 100 mV of the
battery voltage.
The UVLO circuit is always active. At any time, the
input supply is below the UVLO threshold or
approximately 100 mV of the voltage at the VBAT pin,
the MCP73871 device is placed in a shutdown mode.
During any UVLO condition, the battery reverse
discharge current shall be less than 2 A.
4.2
System Load Sharing
The system load sharing feature gives the system

priority on input power, allowing the system to
power-up with deeply depleted battery packs.
With the SEL input active Low, the MCP73871 device
is designed to provide system power and Li-Ion battery
charging from a USB input while adhering to the current
limits governed by the USB specification.
With the SEL input active High, the MCP73871 device
limits the total supply current to 1.8A (system power
and charge current combined).
IN
System
Power
FET
If the voltage at the VBAT pin is less than the

preconditioning threshold, the MCP73871 device
enters a preconditioning mode. The preconditioning
threshold is factory set. Refer to Section 1.0
Electrical Characteristics for preconditioning
threshold options.
In this mode, the MCP73871 device supplies 10% of
the fast charge current (established with the value of
the resistor connected to the PROG1 pin) to the
battery.
When the voltage at the VBAT pin rises above the
preconditioning threshold, the MCP73871 device
enters the constant current (fast charge) mode.
4.5
During the constant current mode, the programmed

charge current is supplied to the battery or load. The
charge current is established using a single resistor
from PROG1 to VSS. The program resistor and the
charge current are calculated using the following

If the internal timer expires before the recharge voltage

threshold is reached, a timer fault is indicated and the
charge cycle terminates. The MCP73871 device
remains in this condition until the battery is removed. If
the battery is removed, the MCP73871 device enters
the Stand-by mode where it remains until a battery is
reinserted.
4.6
Constant Voltage Mode
When the voltage at the VBAT pin reaches the

regulation voltage, VREG, constant voltage regulation
begins. The regulation voltage is factory set to 4.10V
or 4.20V with a tolerance of 0.5%.
MCP73871
Charge Termination
The charge cycle is terminated when, during constant

voltage mode, the average charge current diminishes
below a threshold established with the value of a
resistor connected from PROG3 to VSS or internal timer
has expired. A 1 ms filter time on the termination
comparator ensures that transient load conditions do
not result in premature charge cycle termination. The
timer period is factory set and can be disabled. Refer to
Section 1.0 Electrical Characteristics for timer
period options.
The program resistor and the charge current are

The MCP73871 device continuously monitors the

the voltage drops below the recharge threshold,
another charge cycle begins and current is once again
supplied to the battery or load. The recharge threshold
is factory set. Refer to Section 1.0 Electrical
Characteristics for recharge threshold options.
Note:
Thermal Regulation
The MCP73871 device limits the charge current based

on the die temperature. The thermal regulation
optimizes the charge cycle time while maintaining
device reliability. Figure 4-3 depicts the thermal
regulation for the MCP73871 device. Refer to

The MCP73871 device suspends charge if the die

temperature exceeds 150C. Charging will resume
when the die temperature has cooled by approximately

feature in the event that there is a failure within the
thermal regulation circuitry.

Temperature Qualification
The MCP73871 device continuously monitor battery

thermistors (NTC). The MCP73871 device compares
the voltage at the THERM pin to factory set thresholds

the thresholds is detected during a charge cycle, the

MCP73871
Voltage Proportional Charge
Control (VPCC)
If the voltage on the IN pin drops to a preset value,

determined by the threshold established at the VPCC
input, due to a limited amount of input current or input
source impedance, then the battery charging current is
reduced. The VPCC control tries to reach a
steady-state condition where the system load has
priority and the battery is charged with the remaining
current. Therefore, if the system demands more
current than the input can provide, the ideal diode will
become forward biased and the battery is able to
supplement the input current to the system load.
The VPCC sustains the system load as its highest
priority. It does this by reducing the noncritical charge
current while maintaining the maximum power output of
the adapter. Further demand from the system is
supported by the battery, if possible.
The VPCC feature functions identically for USB port or
ac-dc adapter inputs. This feature can be disabled by
connecting the VPCC to IN pin.
4.13
Input Current Limit Control (ICLC)
If the input current threshold is reached, then the

battery charging current is reduced. The ICLC tries to
reach a steady-state condition where the system load
has priority and the battery is charged with the
remaining current. No active control limits the current
to the system. Therefore, if the system demands more
current than the input can provide or the input ICLC is
reached, the ideal diode will become forward biased
and the battery is able to supplement the input current
to the system load.
The ICLC sustains the system load as its highest
priority. This is done by reducing the non-critical charge
current while adhering to the current limits governed by
the USB specification or the maximum ac-dc adapter
current supported. Further demand from the system is
supported by the battery, if possible.

program resistor and the charge current are calculated
using the following equation:
The charge status outputs have two different states:

Low (L), and High Impedance (Hi-Z). The charge status
outputs can be used to illuminate LEDs. Optionally, the
charge status outputs can be used as an interface to a

The battery charge control output is the drain terminal

of an internal P-channel MOSFET. The MCP73871
device provides constant current and voltage
regulation to the battery pack by controlling this
MOSFET in the linear region. The battery charge
control output should be connected to the positive

POWER SOURCE REGULATION
SELECT (SEL)
With the SEL input Low, the MCP73871 device is

designed to provide system power and Li-Ion battery
charging from a USB input while adhering to the current
limits governed by the USB specification. The host
microcontroller has the option selecting either a
100 mA (L) or a 500 mA (H) current limit based on the
PROG2 input. With the SEL input High, the MCP73871
device limits the input current to 1.8A. The
programmed charge current is established using a
single resistor from PROG1 to VSS when driving SEL
High.

USB PORT CURRENT

REGULATION SELECT (PROG2)
Driving the PROG2 input to a logic Low selects the low

USB port source current setting (maximum 100 mA).
Driving the PROG2 input to a logic High selects the
high USB port source current setting (Maximum
500 mA).
5.2.4
5.2.5
TIMER ENABLE (TE) OPTION
The timer enable (TE) input option is used to enable or

disable the internal timer. A low signal on this pin
enables the internal timer and a high signal disables
the internal timer. The TE input can be used to disable
the timer when the charger is supplying current to
charge the battery and power the system load. The TE
input is compatible with 1.8V logic.
POWER-GOOD (PG)
The power-good (PG) option is a pseudo open-drain

output. The PG output can sink current, but not source
current. However, there is a diode path back to the
input, and as such, the output should only be pulled up
to the input. The PG output is low whenever the input
to the MCP73871 device is above the UVLO threshold
and greater than the battery voltage. The PG output
can be used as an indication to the system that an input
source other than the battery is supplying power.

6.1
Application Circuit Design
Due to the low efficiency of linear charging, the most

important factors are thermal design and cost, which
are a direct function of the input voltage, output current
and thermal impedance between the battery charger
and the ambient cooling air. The worst-case situation is
when the device has transitioned from the
Preconditioning mode to the Constant Current mode. In
this situation, the battery charger has to dissipate the
maximum power. A trade-off must be made between
the charge current, cost and thermal requirements of
the charger.
6.1.1
COMPONENT SELECTION
Selection of the external components in Figure 6-1 is

crucial to the integrity and reliability of the charging
system. The following discussion is intended as a guide
for the component selection process.
6.1.1.1
Charge Current
The preferred fast charge current for Lithium-Ion cells

should always follow references and guidances from
battery manufacturers. For example, a 1000 mAh
battery pack has a preferred fast charge current of
0.7C. Charging at 700 mA provides the shortest charge
cycle times without degradation to the battery pack
performance or life.
6.1.1.2
Thermal Considerations
The worst-case power dissipation in the battery

charger occurs when the input voltage is at the
maximum and the device has transitioned from the
Preconditioning mode to the Constant-current mode. In
this case, the power dissipation is:
EQUATION 6-1:
PowerDissipation = ( V DDMAX V PTHMIN ) I REGMAX
Where:
VDDMAX
the maximum input voltage
IREGMAX
the maximum fast charge current
VPTHMIN
the minimum transition threshold

voltage
This power dissipation with the battery charger in the

QFN-20 package will cause thermal regulation to be
entered as depicted. Alternatively, the 4 mm x 4 mm
DFN package could be utilized to reduce heat by
adding vias on the exposed pad.
6.1.1.3
The MCP73871 device is stable with or without a

battery load. In order to maintain good AC stability in
the Constant Voltage mode, a minimum capacitance of
4.7 F is recommended to bypass the VBAT pin to VSS.
This capacitance provides compensation when there is
no battery load. In addition, the battery and
interconnections appear inductive at high frequencies.
These elements are in the control feedback loop during
Constant Voltage mode. Therefore, the bypass
capacitance may be necessary to compensate for the
inductive nature of the battery pack.
Virtually any good quality output filter capacitor can be
used, independent of the capacitors minimum
Effective Series Resistance (ESR) value. The actual
value of the capacitor (and its associated ESR)
depends on the output load current. A 4.7 F ceramic,
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor at the
output is usually sufficient to ensure stability for charge
currents up to a 1000 mA.
6.1.1.4
6.1.1.5
DS22090B-page 26
Temperature Monitoring
The charge temperature window can be set by placing

fixed value resistors in series-parallel with a thermistor.
The resistance values of RT1 and RT2 can be calculated
with the following equations in order to set the
temperature window of interest.
For NTC thermistors:
EQUATION 6-2:
R T2 R COLD
24k = R T1 + -------------------------------R T2 + R COLD
Where:
PowerDissipation = ( 5.5V 2.7V ) 550 mA = 1.54W
Reverse-Blocking Protection
The MCP73871 device provides protection from a

faulted or shorted input. Without the protection, a
faulted or shorted input would discharge the battery
pack through the body diode of the internal pass
transistor.
For example, power dissipation with a 5V, 10% input

voltage source and 500 mA, 10% fast charge current
is:
EXAMPLE 6-1:
External Capacitors
R T2 R HOT
5k = R T1 + ---------------------------R T2 + R HOT
RT1
the fixed series resistance
RT2
the fixed parallel resistance
RCOLD
the thermistor resistance at the

lower temperature of interest
RHOT
the thermistor resistance at the

upper temperature of interest
MCP73871
For example, by utilizing a 10 k at 25C NTC
thermistor with a sensitivity index, , of 3892, the
charge temperature range can be set to 0C - 50C by
placing a 1.54 k resistor in series (RT1), and a
69.8 k resistor in parallel (RT2) with the thermistor.
6.1.1.6
Charge Status Interface
A status output provides information on the state of

charge. The output can be used to illuminate external
LEDs or interface to a host microcontroller. Refer to
Table 5-1 for a summary of the state of the status
output during a charge cycle.
6.1.1.7
6.2
PCB Layout Issues
For optimum voltage regulation, place the battery pack

as close as possible to the devices VBAT and VSS pins,
recommended to minimize voltage drops along the
high current-carrying PCB traces.
If the PCB layout is used as a heatsink, adding many
vias in the heatsink pad can help conduct more heat to
the backplane of the PCB, thus reducing the maximum
junction temperature.
System Load Current
The preferred discharge current for Lithium-Ion cells

should always follow references and guidance from
battery manufacturers. Due to the safety concerns
when using Lithium-Ion batteries and power
dissipation of linear solutions, the system load when
design with the MCP73871 device is recommended to
be less than 1A or the maximum discharge rate of the
selected Lithium-Ion cell. Whichever is smaller is
recommended.
The idea diode between VBAT and OUT is designed to
drive a maximum current up to 2A. The built-in thermal
shutdown protection may turn the MCP73871 device
off with high current.
