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 bq24741/2 features resistor-programmable PWM switching frequency and accurate 150mA trickle charge
(with 20 mΩ sensing resistor), which can be enabled via the TRICKLE pin. The bq24741/2 also 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 adapter when supplying the load and the battery charger
simultaneously. A high-accuracy current sense amplifier enables accurate 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 power performance according to
what is available from the adapter.

Table 1. Pin Functions – 28-Pin QFN


PIN
DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Charge-enable active-HIGH logic input. HI enables charge. LO disables charge. It has an internal 1 MΩ pull-down
CE 1
resistor. A 10 KΩ external resistor is required to connect the CE pin to the external pull-up rail other than VREF.
Adapter current sense resistor, negative input. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from ACN to ACP to provide
ACN 2 differential-mode filtering. An optional 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from ACN pin to AGND for common-mode
filtering.
Adapter current sense resistor, positive input. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from ACN to ACP to provide
ACP 3
differential-mode filtering. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from ACP pin to AGND for common-mode filtering.
Low-power-mode-detect active-LOW open-drain logic output. Place a 10kohm pull-up resistor from LPMOD pin to the
LPMOD 4 pull-up voltage rail. The output is HI when IADAPT pin voltage is lower than LPREF pin voltage. The output is LOW
when IADAPT pin voltage is higher than LPREF pin voltage. Internal 6% hysteresis.
Adapter detected voltage set input. Program the adapter detect threshold by connecting a resistor divider from adapter
input to ACDET pin to AGND pin. Adapter voltage is detected if ACDET pin voltage is greater than 2.4 V. IADAPT
ACDET 5 current sense amplifier is active when ACDET pin voltage is greater than 0.6V and PVCC > VUVLO. ACOV is input
over-voltage protection; it disables charge when ACDET > 3.1 V. ACOV does not latch, and normal operation resumes
when ACDET < 3.1 V.
Adapter current set input. The voltage ratio of ACSET voltage versus VDAC voltage programs the input current
regulation set-point during Dynamic Power Management (DPM). Program by connecting a resistor divider from VDAC to
ACSET 6
ACSET to AGND; or by connecting the output of an external DAC to the ACSET pin and connect the DAC supply to the
VDAC pin.
Low power voltage set input. Connect a resistor divider from VREF to LPREF, and AGND to program the reference for
LPREF 7 the LOPWR comparator. The LPREF pin voltage is compared to the IADAPT pin voltage and the logic output is given
on the LPMOD open-drain pin. Connect LPREF to ACSET through a resistor divider to track the adapter power.
Trickle current enable logic input. When CE is HIGH, a HIGH level on this pin enables accurate 150 mA trickle charge
TRICKLE 8 with 20 mΩ sense resistor. A LOW level on this pin enables the ISET pin to program the charge current. It has an
internal 1MΩ pull-down resistor.
Analog ground. Ground connection for low-current sensitive analog and digital signals. On PCB layout, connect to the
AGND 9
analog ground plane, and only connect to PGND through the PowerPad underneath the IC.
3.3 V regulated voltage output. Place a 1 μF ceramic capacitor from VREF to AGND pin close to the IC. This voltage
VREF 10 could be used for ratio-metric programming of voltage and current regulation and for programming the LPREF
threshold. VREF is also the voltage source for the internal circuit.
Charge voltage set reference input. Connect the VREF or external DAC voltage source to VDAC pin. Battery voltage,
charge current, and input current are programmed as a ratio of the VDAC pin voltage versus the voltage on VADJ, and
VDAC 11 ACSET pin voltages, respectively. Place resistor dividers from VDAC to VADJ, ISET, and ACSET pins to AGND for
programming. A DAC could be used by connecting the DAC supply to VDAC and connecting the output to VADJ, ISET,
or ACSET.
Charge voltage set input. The voltage ratio of VADJ voltage versus VDAC voltage programs the battery voltage
VADJ 12 regulation set-point. Program by connecting a resistor divider from VDAC to VADJ, to AGND; or, by connecting the
output of an external DAC to VADJ pin and connect the DAC supply to VDAC pin.
Valid adapter active-low detect logic open-drain output. Pulled LO when Input voltage is above ACDET programmed
EXTPWR 13 threshold OR input current is greater than 1.25 A with 10 mΩ sense resistor. Connect a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor from
EXTPWR pin to pull-up supply rail.
FSET 14 PWM switching frequency (Fs) program pin. Program the switching frequency by placing a resistor to AGND on this pin.
Adapter current sense amplifier output. IADAPT voltage is 20 times the differential voltage across ACP-ACN. Place a
IADAPT 15
100pF (max) or less ceramic decoupling capacitor from IADAPT to AGND.
Charge current set input. The voltage ratio of ISET voltage versus VDAC voltage programs the charge current
ISET 16 regulation set-point. Program by connecting a resistor divider from VDAC to ISET, to AGND; or, by connecting the
output of an external DAC to ISET pin and connect the DAC supply to VDAC pin.
Battery voltage remote sense. Directly connect a kelvin sense trace from the battery pack positive terminal to the BAT
BAT 17 pin to accurately sense the battery pack voltage. Place a 0.1 μF capacitor from BAT to AGND close to the IC to filter
high frequency noise.
Charge current sense resistor, negative input. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from CSN to CSP to provide
CSN 18 differential-mode filtering. An optional 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from CSN pin to AGND for common-mode
filtering.
Charge current sense resistor, positive input. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from CSN to CSP to provide
CSP 19
differential-mode filtering. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor is placed from CSP pin to AGND for common-mode filtering.
CELLS 20 2, 3 or 4 cells selection logic input. Logic Lo programs 3–cell. Logic HI programs 4-cell. Floating programs 2–cell.

PIN
DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
Dynamic power management (DPM) input current loop active, open-drain output status. Logic low (LO) indicates input
DPMDET 21 current is being limited by reducing the charge current. Connect 10-kohm pull-up resistor from DPMDET pin to VREF or
a different pull-up supply rail.
Power ground. Ground connection for high-current power converter node. On PCB layout, connect directly to source of
PGND 22 low-side power MOSFET, to ground connection of in put and output capacitors of the charger. Only connect to AGND
through the PowerPad underneath the IC.
LODRV 23 PWM low side driver output. Connect to the gate of the low–side power MOSFET with a short and wide trace.
PWM low side driver positive supply output. Connect a 1 μF ceramic capacitor from REGN to PGND pin, close to the
REGN 24 IC. Use for low side driver and high-side driver bootstrap voltage by connecting a small signal Schottky diode from
REGN to BTST. REGN is disabled when CE is LOW.
PWM high side driver negative supply. Connect to the Phase switching node (junction of the low-side power MOSFET
SW 25 drain, high-side power MOSFET source, and output inductor). Connect the 0.1 μF bootstrap capacitor from SW to
BTST.
HIDRV 26 PWM high side driver output. Connect to the gate of the high-side power MOSFET with a short trace.
PWM high side driver positive supply. Connect a 0.1 μF bootstrap ceramic capacitor from BTST to SW. Connect a
bootstrap Schottky diode from REGN to BTST. A optional 2.0Ω - 5.1Ω bootstrap resistor can be inserted between the
BTST 27
BTST pin and the common point of the bootstrap capacitor and bootstrap diode, thus dampening the SW node voltage
ring and spike.
IC power positive supply. Connect to the adapter input through a schottky diode. Place a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor from
PVCC 28
PVCC to PGND pin close to the IC.
Exposed pad beneath the IC. AGND and PGND star-connected only at the PowerPad plane. Always solder PowerPad
PowerPad to the board, and have vias on the PowerPad plane connecting to AGND and PGND planes. It also serves as a thermal
pad to dissipate the heat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Converter Operation
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a programmable-frequency (300 kHz to 800 kHz) voltage mode
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 should be selected to give a nominal resonant frequency within 8 kHz
to 12.5 kHz to have good loop compensation.
Where resonant frequency, fo, is give by:
1
fo =
2p Lo Co (1)
Where Lo, Co are the total output filter inductance and capacitance

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 fixed 1.33 V. The ramp is offset by 300 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 saw-tooth
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 BTST pin
to SW pin voltage falls below 4 V, 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 SW node down and recharge the BTST capacitor. Then the
high-side driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the (BTST-SW) voltage is detected to fall low again
due to leakage current discharging the BTST capacitor below the 4 V, and the reset pulse is reissued.
The 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.
The charge current sense resistor RSR should be placed with at least half or more of the total output capacitance
placed before the sense resistor contacting both sense resistor and the output inductor; and the other half or
remaining capacitance placed after the sense resistor. The output capacitance should be divided and placed
onto both sides of the charge current sense resistor. A ratio of 50:50 percent gives the best performance; but the
node in which the output inductor and sense resistor connect should have a minimum of 50% of the total
capacitance. This capacitance provides sufficient filtering to remove the switching noise and give better current
sense accuracy. The type III compensation provides Phase boost near the cross-over frequency, giving sufficient
Phase margin.

Synchronous and Non-Synchronous Operation


The charger operates in non-synchronous mode when the sensed charge current is below the charge
under-current comparator threshold (30 mV). Otherwise, the charger operates in synchronous mode. This part is
designed for 20 mΩ charge current sense resistor and the SYNC/NON-SYNC threshold is 1.5 A. If 10 mΩ is
used, the SYNC/NON-SYNC threshold will be 3 A.
During synchronous mode, the low-side n-channel power MOSFET is on, when the high-side n-channel power
MOSFET is off. 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. During synchronous mode the inductor current is always flowing and
operates in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), creating a fixed two-pole system.
During non-synchronous operation, the low side MOSFET will stay off during the off-time unless the voltage on
the bootstrap capacitor drops below 4 V. If this occurs, the high side FET will be turned off and the 80ns low-side
MOSFET recharge pulse will be initiated. The 80 ns pulse pulls the SW node (connection between high and
low-side MOSFET) down, allowing the bootstrap capacitor to recharge up to the REGN LDO value. After the 80
ns, the low-side MOSFET is kept off to prevent negative inductor current from occurring. The inductor current is
blocked by the off low-side MOSFET, and the inductor current will become discontinuous. This mode is called
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM).

SLUS875B – MARCH 2009 – REVISED OCTOBER 2009 www.ti.com

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 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 (no 80ns recharge pulse) either, and there is no discharge from the battery.

Battery Voltage Regulation


The bq24741/2 uses a high-accuracy voltage regulator for charging voltage. The regulation voltage is ratio-metric
with respect to VDAC. The ratio of VADJ and VDAC provides extra 12.5% adjust range on VBATT regulation
voltage. By limiting the adjust range to 12.5% of the regulation voltage, the external resistor mismatch error is
reduced from ±1% to ±0.1%. Therefore, an overall voltage accuracy as good as 0.5% is maintained, while using
1% mis-match resistors. Ratio-metric conversion also allows compatibility with D/As or microcontrollers (μC). The
battery voltage is programmed through VADJ and VDAC using the following equation:
é æ V öù
VBATT = cell count ´ ê 4 V + ç 0.512 ´ VADJ ÷ ú
ëê è VVDAC ø ú
û (2)
The input voltage range of VDAC is between 2.6V and 3.6V. VADJ is set between 0 and VDAC.
CELLS pin is the logic input for selecting cell count. Connect CELLS to charge 2, 3, or 4 Li+ cells. When
charging other cell chemistries, use CELLS to select an output voltage range for the charger.

Table 3. Cell-Count Selection


CELLS CELL COUNT
Float 2
AGND 3
VREF 4

The per-cell battery termination voltage is function of the battery chemistry. Consult the battery manufacturer to
determine this voltage.
The BAT 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 0.1μF ceramic capacitor from BAT to AGND is
recommended to be as close to the BAT pin as possible to decouple high frequency noise.

Battery Current Regulation


The ISET input sets the maximum charging current. Battery current is sensed by resistor RSR connected
between CSP and CSN. The full-scale differential voltage between CSP and CSN is 100 mV. Thus, for a 0.020 Ω
sense resistor, the maximum charging current is 5 A. ISET is ratio-metric with respect to VDAC using the
following equation:
VISET 0.10
ICHARGE = ´
VVDAC R SR (3)
The input voltage range of ISET is between 0 and VDAC, up to 3.6 V.
The CSP and CSN pins are used to sense across RSR with default value of 20 mΩ. However, resistors of other
values can also be used. For a larger the sense resistor, you get a larger sense voltage, and a higher regulation
accuracy; but, at the expense of higher conduction loss.

Trickle Charge Current Regulation


The TRICKLE pin is provided to allow accurate current regulation at very low charge current. When CE is set to
HIGH, a logic HIGH level is applied to the TRICKLE pin, the charger will regulate 3 mV from CSP to CSN (150
mA with a 20 mΩ sense resistor), regardless of the voltage applied to the ISET pin. When TRICKLE is LOW,
ISET is used to program the charge current.

Input Adapter Current Regulation


The total input current 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
capacity of the AC adapter can be lowered, reducing system cost.
Similar to setting battery-regulation current, adapter current is sensed by resistor RAC connected between ACP
and ACN. Its maximum value is set by ACSET, which is ratiometric with respect to VDAC, using Equation 4.
VACSET 0.10
IADAPTER = ´
VVDAC R AC (4)
The input voltage range of ACSET is between 0 and VDAC, up to 3.6 V.
The ACP and ACN pins are used to sense RAC with a default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other values
can also be used. A larger sense-resistor value yields a larger sense voltage, and a higher regulation accuracy.
However, this is at the expense of a higher conduction loss.

Adapter Detect and Power Up


An external resistor voltage 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 and lower than
the minimum allowed adapter voltage. The ACDET divider should be placed before the ACFET in order to sense
the true adapter input voltage whether the ACFET is on or off.
If ACDET is below 0.6 V but PVCC is above 8 V, part of the bias is enabled, including a crude bandgap
reference, IADAPT is disabled and pulled down to GND. The total quiescent current is less than 10 μA.
Once ACDET rises above 0.6 V and PVCC is above 8 V, all the bias circuits are enabled and VREF goes to 3.3
V; and REGN output goes to 6 V if CE is HIGH. IADAPT becomes valid to proportionally reflect the adapter
current.
When ACDET keeps rising and passes 2.4 V, a valid AC adapter is present. 8 ms later, charge is allowed to turn
on.

Programming the PWM Switching Frequency


To program the PWM switching frequency, place a resistor from the FSET pin to ground, according to the
following formula:
41 ´ 103
R FSET = - 6.25 (k W )
Fs (5)
Where RFSET (kΩ) is the resistor from the FSET pin to ground, and Fs (kHz) is the desired switching frequency.
The switching frequency should be programmed between 300 kHz and 800 kHz.

Enable and Disable Charging


The following conditions must be valid before the charge function is enabled:
• CE is HIGH
• Adapter is detected
• Adapter voltage is higher than PVCC-BAT threshold
• Adapter is not over voltage
• The VREF and REGEN regulators are above 90% of the final values

• Thermal Shut (TSHUT) is not active


• The PWM frequency is programmed inside the allowable range
There’s a 2ms charge enable delay from when adapter is detected to when the charger is allowed to turn on.
One of the following conditions will stop on-going charging:
• CE is LOW
• Adapter is removed
• Adapter Voltage is lower than PVCC-BAT threshold
• Adapter is over voltage
• Adapter is over current
• TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached (155 °C on rising-edge with 20 °C hysteresis).

Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current


The charger automatically soft-starts the charger 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 into 8 evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge current. Each
step lasts around 1ms, for a typical rise time of 8ms. No external components are needed for this function.

High Accuracy IADAPT 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 IADAPT pin. The CSA amplifies the input
sensed voltage of ACP–ACN by 20x through the IADAPT pin. The IADAPT output is a voltage source 20 times
the input differential voltage. Once PVCC is above 8 V and ACDET is above 0.6 V, IADAPT no longer stays at
ground, but becomes active. If the user wants to lower the voltage, they could use a resistor divider from IOUT to
AGND, and still achieve accuracy over temperature as the resistors can be matched their thermal coefficients.

Input Overvoltage Protection (ACOV)


ACOV provides protection to prevent system damage due to high input voltage. Once the adapter voltage is 30%
above adapter detect voltage, (ACDET pin voltage is 30% above 2.4 V (2.4 V X 130% = 3.1 V), charge is
disabled. ACOV does not latch, and normal operation resumes when ACDET < 3.1 V.

Input Undervoltage Lock Out (UVLO)


The system must have a typical 8 V PVCC voltage to allow proper operation. This PVCC voltage could come
from an input adapter . When the PVCC voltage is below 8 V the bias circuits REGN and VREF stay inactive,
even with ACDET above 0.6 V.

Battery Overvoltage Protection


The converter will not allow the high-side FET to turn-on until the BAT voltage goes below 102% 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.

Charge Overcurrent Protection


The charger has a secondary over-current protection. It monitors the charge current, and prevents the current
from exceeding 6.25A peak value with a 20 mΩ sensing resistor. The high-side gate drive turns off when the
over-current is detected, and automatically resumes at the next switching cycle that occurs after the current falls
below the OCP threshold. When the BAT-GND short is detected, the charger will be automatically shut down
immediately and then restarts again 100 μs later.

Short-Circuit Protection
The charger has a secondary short-circuit protection. It monitors the voltage-drop (detect ACP-SW for protecting
high-side MOSFET and detect SW-AGND for protecting low-side MOSFET) to prevents the short-circuit current
from exceeding a certain value to damage the charger. It will be monitored after typical blanking time of 100ns.
The MOSFET gate driver signal turns off when the short-circuit current is detected in every switching cycle. The
charger will shut-down and latch off after this occurs 7 times. POR or toggling CE pin can resume normal charge
function.

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 155 °C. The charger stays off
until the junction temperature falls below 135 °C, then the charger will soft-start again if all other enable charge
conditions are valid.

Input Low Power Detection


In order to optimize the system performance, the HOST keeps an eye on the adapter current. Once the adapter
current is above a threshold set via LPREF, the LPMOD pin sends a signal to the HOST. The signal alarms the
host that input power has exceeded the programmed limit. The LPMOD pin is an open-drain output. Connect a
pull-up resistor to LPMOD. The LPMOD output is logic LOW when the 20X current sense voltage (20 x
V(ACP-ACN)) is higher than the LPREF input voltage. The LPREF threshold may be set by an external resistor
divider using VREF, or may be programmed from a resistor divider off of ACSET to maintain an LPREF voltage
proportional to the adapter current. The LPMOD comparator has an internal 6% hysteresis built in.

Status Outputs ( EXTPWR , LPMOD , DPMDET Pin)


Three status outputs are available, and they all require external pull up resistors to pull the pins to system digital
rail for a high level.
EXTPWR open-drain output goes low under each of the three conditions:
1. ACDET is above 2.4 V
2. Adapter current is above 1.25 A using a 10mohm sense resistor (IADAPT voltage above 250 mV)
Internally, the AC current detect comparator looks between the output of the 20x adapter current amplifier and an
internal 250mV threshold. EXTPWR indicates a good adapter is connected because of valid voltage or current.
LPMOD output goes low when the input current is higher than the programmed threshold via LPREF pin.
Hysteresis is internally set to 6% of the programmed LPMOD threshold.
DPMDET open-drain output goes low when the DPM loop is active to reduce the battery charge current.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Inductor Selection
The bq24741/2 can program the switching frequency between 300k and 800kHz for different applications. Higher
switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. Inductor saturation current should
be higher than the charging current (ICHG) plus half the ripple current (IRIPPLE):
ISAT ³ ICHG + (1/2) IRIPPLE
(6)
The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VIN), duty cycle (D=VOUT/VIN), switching frequency (fs) and
inductance (L):
V ´ D ´ (1 - D)
IRIPPLE = IN
fS ´ L (7)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5 or close to 0.5. For example, the battery charging
voltage range is from 9V to 12.6V for 3-cell battery pack. For 20V adapter voltage, 10V battery voltage gives the
maximum inductor ripple current. Another example is 4-cell battery, the battery voltage range is from 12V to
16.8V, and 12V 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 bq24741/2 has charge under current protection (UCP) by monitoring charging current sensing resistor. The
Typical UCP threshold is 30mV falling edge and 40mV rising edge corresponding to 1.5A falling edge and 2A
rising edge for a 20mΩ charging current sensing resistor. To prevent negative inductor current, the inductance
must be high enough so that peak to peak ripple current is less than 3A (for a 20mΩ charging current sensing
resistor) when charging current tapers down. Considering UCP threshold tolerance for worst case, peak to peak
ripple current less than 2.5A for a 20mΩ charging current sensing resistor is preferred.

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 occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50% and
can be estimated by the following equation:
ICIN = ICHG ´ D ´ (1 - D) (8)
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 19-20V input voltage. 10-20µF 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 is given:
I
ICOUT = RIPPLE » 0.29 ´ IRIPPLE
2 ´ 3 (9)
The bq24741/2 has internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output
inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 8 kHz and 12.5 kHz.
The preferred ceramic capacitor is 25V, X7R or X5R for output capacitor. 10-20µF capacitance is suggested for
practical application. Two capacitors, one capacitor is located before and another one after charging current
sensing resistor to get the best average charge current regulation accuracy.

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 5.9V of gate drive voltage. 30V or higher voltage rating MOSFETs are
preferred for 19-20V input voltage.

Figure-of-merit (FOM) is usually used for selecting proper MOSFET based on a tradeoff between the conduction
loss and switching loss. For top side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of a MOSFET's on-resistance,
RDS(ON), and the gate-to-drain charge, QGD. For bottom side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of the
MOSFET's on-resistance, RDS(ON), and the total gate charge, QG.
FOM top = RDS(on) ´ QG D FOMbottom = RDS(on) ´ QG
(10)
The lower the FOM value, the lower the total power loss. Usually lower RDS(ON) has higher cost with the same
package size.
The top-side MOSFET loss includes conduction loss and switching loss. It is a function of duty cycle
(D=VOUT/VIN), charging current (ICHG), MOSFET's on-resistance ®DS(ON)), input voltage (VIN), switching frequency
(F), turn on time (ton) and turn off time (ttoff):
1
Ptop = D ´ ICHG2 ´ RDS(on) + ´ VIN ´ ICHG ´ (t on + t off ) ´ fS
2 (11)
The first item represents the conduction loss. Usually MOSFET RDS(ON) increases by 50% with 100ºC junction
temperature rise. The second term represents the switching loss. The MOSFET turn-on and turn off times are
given by:
Q Q
ton = SW , t off = SW
Ion Ioff (12)
where Qsw is the switching charge, Ion is the turn-on gate driving current and Ioff is the turn-off gate driving
current. If the switching charge is not given in MOSFET datasheet, it can be estimated by gate-to-drain charge
(QGD) and gate-to-source charge (QGS):
1
QSW = QGD + ´ QGS
2 (13)
Gate driving current total can be estimated by REGN voltage (VREGN), MOSFET plateau voltage (Vplt), total
turn-on gate resistance (Ron) and turn-off gate resistance ®off) of the gate driver:
VREG N - Vplt Vplt
Ion = , Ioff =
Ron Roff (14)
The conduction loss of the bottom-side MOSFET is calculated with the following equation when it operates in
synchronous continuous conduction mode:
Pbottom = (1 - D) ´ ICHG 2 ´ RDS(on)
(15)
When charger operates in non-synchronous mode, the bottom-side MOSFET is off. As a result all the
freewheeling current goes through the body-diode of the bottom-side MOSFET. The body diode power loss
depends on its forward voltage drop (VF), non-synchronous mode charging current (INONSYNC), and duty cycle (D).
PD = VF ´ INO NSYNC ´ (1 - D) (16)
The maximum charging current in non-synchronous mode can be up to 2.25A for a 20mΩ charging current
sensing resistor considering IC UCP threshold tolerance. The minimum duty cycle happens at lowest battery
voltage. Choose the bottom-side MOSFET with either an internal Schottky or body diode capable of carrying the
maximum non-synchronous mode charging current.

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 PVCC 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 PVCC pin.
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 31. The R1 and C1 is 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 PVCC pin. C2 is PVCC pin decoupling capacitor and it should be place to
PVCC pin as close as possible. C2 value should be much less than C1 value so R1 can dominant the equivalent
ESR value to get enough damping effect. R2 is used to limit inrush current of D1 to prevent D1 getting damage
when adapter hot plug-in. R1 has high inrush current. R1 package must be sized enough to handle 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.

bq24741/2 Design Guideline


The bq24741/2 has a unique short circuit protection feature. Its cycle-by-cycle current monitoring feature is
achieved through monitoring the voltage drop across Rdson of the MOSFETs after a certain amount of blanking
time. In case of MOSFET short or inductor short circuit, the over current condition is sensed by two comparators
and two counters will be triggered. After seven times of short circuit events, the charger will be latched off. The
way to reset the charger from latch-off status is to toggle the CE pin or IC power on reset. Figure 32 shows the
bq24741/2 short circuit protection block diagram.

Figure 32. Block Diagram of bq24741/2 Short Circuit Protection

In normal operation, low side MOSFET current is from source to drain which generates negative voltage drop
when it turns on, as a result the over current comparator can not be triggered. When high side switch short circuit
or inductor short circuit happens, the large current of low side MOSFET is from drain to source and can trig low
side switch over current comparator. the bq24741/2 senses low side switch voltage drop by SW pin and AGND
pin.
The high-side FET short is detected by monitoring the voltage drop between ACP and SW. As a result, it not only
monitors the high side switch voltage drop, but also the adapter sensing resistor voltage drop and PCB trace
voltage drop from ACN terminal of RAC to charger high side switch drain. Usually, there is a long trance between
input sensing resistor and charger converting input, a careful layout will minimize the trace effect.

To prevent unintentional charger shut down in normal operation, MOSFET RDS(on) selection and PCB layout is
very important. Figure 33 shows a need improve PCB layout example and its equivalent circuit. In this layout,
system current path and charger input current path is not separated, as a result, the system current causes
voltage drop in the PCB copper and is sensed by IC. The worst layout is when a system current pull point is after
charger input; as a result all system current voltage drops are counted into over current protection comparator.
The worst case for IC is the total system current and charger input current sum equals DPM current. When
system pull more current, the charger IC tries to regulate RAC current as a constant current by reducing charging
current.

The total voltage drop sensed by IC can be express as the following equation.

where the RAC is the AC adapter current sensing resistance, IDPM is the DPM current set point, RPCB is the PCB
trace equivalent resistance, ICHRGIN is the charger input current, k is the PCB factor, RDS(on) is the high side
MOSFET turn on resistance and IPEAK is the peak current of inductor. Here the PCB factor k equals 0 means the
best layout shown in Figure 34 where the PCB trace only goes through charger input current while k equals 1
means the worst layout shown in Figure 33 where the PCB trace goes through all the DPM current. The total
voltage drop must below the high side short circuit protection threshold to prevent unintentional charger shut
down in normal operation.

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 35) 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 36 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. 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.
8. Route analog ground separately from power ground. Connect analog ground to AGND and connect power
ground to PGND separately. Connect analog ground and power ground together using power pad as the
single ground connection point. Or using a 0Ω resistor to tie analog ground to power ground (power pad
should tie to analog ground in this case).
9. Decoupling capacitors should be placed next to the IC pins and make trace connection as short as possible.
10. It is critical that the exposed power pad 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.
