■ Operational Principle
LN1001 is an single-chip power bank solution, that integrated DC / DC charge management, DC / DC
step-up, voltage sensing and power display. It complete the function integrated three or more of the original chip to
the single chip. Performance, you can set the maximum charge current 2A, maximum output current of the boost
can be achieved 1.5A, and shut down power consumption is almost zero ( less than 1uA).
 Button Operation：
It is the one-touch control. In the off state, a short click Key (short press times greater than 60mS less than
2S), cause power on, display the power, and turn on the boost. After 4 seconds, shut down the power display, and
L1 starts flashing (0.5Hz). L1 will always flashing when it is boosting. During the time, another short press Key, it
can show the power 4 seconds once again, and the booster is not being affected.
The boost will automatically turns off, L1 blinking will stops and the device will enters the shutdown state,
when the device is fully charged or the load is removed after 16 seconds.
When the battery voltage is lower than 3.5V, with a short press Key, L1 will flash explosion 4S to alert the
low battery.
In the boost process, when the battery voltage is lower than 3.1V, the output will be automatically shut down
to protect the battery not be over-discharged.
Long press Key (pressing time is greater than 2S), will open the Torch function, and long press Key again to
turn off the Torch.
When the battery voltage is lower than 3.1V, you cannot open the Torch and output. But when the Torch has
been turned on, it will not turn off when the battery voltage is too low.
During charging, short press operation is masked, but long press can turn on or turn off the Torch.
Operating Mode Function short press Key (60ms<Key<2S) Long press Key (Key>2S)

These voltage parameters for reference only , the actual difference because the battery and different production
batches have voltage differences.

The power display will last 4 seconds, then L1 change to flashing , flashing period 2S, pulse width 0.25S, other
LED goes off.
 charging modes:
Built-in constant current constant voltage battery charging management, through a current -mode PWM
control DC-DC topology to achieve, the charging current is set by an external connection on both ends of the
VBATT and SENSE resistor to set the chip internally by a high accuracy reference to set the charging
voltage.
When the input voltage is below the UVLO level (4.35V), the chip enters SLEEP MODE, then the chip
power consumption to 60μA or less. When the input voltage rises above the UVLO voltage, the charger
enters charging mode, then L1-L4 shows charging blinking. If the battery voltage is lower than the trickle

 LN1001
charge threshold voltage (2.9V), the charger enters trickle charge mode, and the trickle charge set to 25 % of
the maximum charge current. When the battery voltage exceeds the trickle charge threshold, the charger
enters constant current charging mode, then the charging current by the internal 100mV reference and
external sense resistor to decide, calculated as follows: ICHARGE=100mV/RS.
When the battery voltage is close to the target value 4.2V, the charge current of the chip begins to drop
and the chip enters constant voltage charging mode LDO. When the current drops to 65mA, the chip stops
charging, L1-L4 full brightness. When the battery not leave BATT terminal and the battery voltage drops to
4.07V, the chip will automatically enter RECHARGE state, and restart the charge cycle.
Once in charging mode, the boost circuit will automatically stop when the short press operation is
masked, but the long press can turn on or turn off the light. Exit charge mode after entering standby mode.
 Boost mode :
In shutdown mode, short press Key or detect access to the load, then the boost circuit starts operating.
In boost circuit, it can achieve efficient and stable work in a wide load range, using PWM current mode
and voltage mode PFM automatic switching. Building a 4.5A power switch, lithium battery can deliver up to
2A of output current, and efficiency of 90% (up 95%).
The SHUTDOWN pin with an external NMOS transistors, is to achieve the power path completely
shutdown. When the chip is normal working, SHUTDOWN is high, and VOUT- used as a load. Work in the
chip off or an abnormal state (such as the short-circuit protection, etc.), SHUTDOWN client will drop as low
to achieve the power path completely shutdown.
SHUTDOWN end remain unconnected when it is not in use, and prohibit connecting to VBATT or GND
terminal.
The external NMOS transistor with the use of SHUTDOWN function, need very little resistance
RDSON, in order to ensure high efficiency and ideal load short-circuit protection.
Boost working, if detected the VIN voltage greater than 1.6V, it is considered to enter charge mode,
SHUTDOWN immediately pulled low, and the output path closed. When the VIN is removed, it need to re-
boost button before resuming work.
Boost after the start, if it detects the output load current is very small ( less than 20mA),keeping this
state for more than 16S, chips that are unloaded automatically enter standby mode, where the static power
consumption is almost zero.
 temperature protection:
LN1001 built-in temperature compensation circuit, when the internal temperature reaches 100 ℃, the
maximum charging current or the maximum output current will fall with increasing temperature, reducing the
possibility of thermal breakdown of the chip, improving the reliability of the system on a chip. When the
temperature rises to 150 ℃, the chip enters the temperature protection, cutting output or stopping charging.
The chip also comes with battery temperature detection function, and this function through the NTC side
to achieve. The VBATT connect to divider resistors RT1 and RT2, and the NTC is terminated with a negative
temperature coefficient thermistor of 10KΩ RNTC (MF103F338F), RT1 and RT2 according to battery
temperature monitoring range and thermistor resistance values to determine.
This pin can be directly connected to GND, to shield the temperature detection function.

 Choice of Components :
1. The selection of booster circuit output capacitor C3. The selection Output Capacitor depends on the
output voltage ripple. In most cases, you want to use low ESR capacitors, such as ceramics and polymers
electrolytic capacitors. If you use a high- ESR capacitor,c you need to carefully review the converter
frequency compensation, and in the output circuit terminal may need to add an additional capacitor.
2. Choose textures and values of inductor LB and LC. Because the inductor value affects the input and
output ripple voltage and current, so the inductor selection is the key of inductive voltage converter design.
Low equivalent series resistance of the inductor, the power conversion efficiency is the best. Choose the
inductor saturation current rating, make it greater than the steady-state circuit inductor current peak.
3. Boost converter to choose fast forward voltage drop of the schottky rectifier diodes, so make it low
power consumption and high efficiency. The average current of schottky diode rating should be greater than
the maximum output current of the circuit.
4. Try to use a small internal resistance, fast switching speed of the MOSFET N, so make it low power
consumption and high efficiency, and be ready to heat treatment. LN2312 for the N-channel enhancement
type field effect transistor, RDSON = 27mohm @ VGS = 3.6V, can meet the conditions of use.
MOSFET N try to use a small internal resistance, fast switching speed, low power consumption and high
efficiency make it, and be ready to heat treatment. LN2312 for the N-channel enhancement type field effect

5、Temperature protection divider resistor selection RT1/RT2
The VBATT connects the dividing resistors RT1 and RT2, and the NTC connects a negative temperature
coefficient thermistor 10KΩ RNTC
(MF103F338F), RT1 and RT2 according to battery temperature monitoring range and thermistor
resistance values to determine
Suppose the set battery temperature range TL ~ TH, (TL <TH); negative temperature coefficient
thermistor (NTC). RTL is the resistance at temperature TL, and RTH is the resistance at temperature TH,
RTL> RTH.

RT 2 // RTL
V _ TL  VIN 
At the temperature TL , NTC V_TL the voltage is: RT1  RT 2 // RTL ；

RT 2 // RTH
V _ TH  VIN 
At the temperature TH , NTC voltage V_TH is: RT1  RT 2 // RTH ；

2 1 3  RTL  RTH 3  RTL  RTH

V _ TL  VIN V _ TH  VIN RT1  RT 2 
By 3 、 3 ，too 2  ( RTL  RTH ) ， RTL  2  RTH
Similarly, if the battery using the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors, then RTH> RTL, in
the formula of RT1 and RT2, the RTL and RTH can be reversed.

Derived from the above it can be seen that the subjecting set temperature range has nothing to do with
supply voltage VIN. It is to do with RT1, RT2, RTL, and RTH; including RTL, RTH battery can access the
relevant manuals or obtained through experimental tests.
In practical application, if only one side of the temperature characteristics of concern, such as thermal
protection, it cannot RT2, RT1 can use only. Calculating R1 becomes very simple, and do not repeat them
here.
For example: Select the NTC resistor 10K, RT1=2.54K, RT2=5.32K. -20 to 60 degrees to achieve a
temperature range of detection.
 PCB LAYOUT NOTES:
1、Sampling resistance RS, and the filter capacitor C1, C2 as close IC.
2、High-current paths must be thick and wide wiring, and cabling area as small as possible .
3、Distinguish GNDA and GNDD alignment , grounding must be good.
4、High-frequency switching path is not through-hole, not the bottom cloth signal line inductance.
5、Ground area is large enough, and the board should shop copper to control IC heat well.
