4 Description (continued)
Besides the I2C host-controlled charging mode, the device also supports standalone charging mode via resistor
programmable limits. Input current, charge current and charge voltage regulation targets can be set via the
ILIM_HIZ, ICHG and FB pins, respectively.
The device has three status pins (STAT1, STAT2, and PG) to indicate the charging status and input voltage
status. These pins can be used to drive LEDs or communicate with a host processor. If needed, these pins can
also be used as general purpose indicators and their status controlled directly by the I2C interface. The INT pin
immediately notifies host when the device status changes, including faults.
The device also provides an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for monitoring input current, charge current and
input/battery/system/thermistor voltages.
The device comes with a 36-pin 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm QFN package with 0.5 mm pin pitch.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The BQ25750 is a wide input voltage, Li-Ion, Li-polymer, and LiFePO4 switched-mode buck-boost battery
charge controller with direct power path control. The device offers high-efficiency battery charging over a wide
voltage range with accurate and programmable charge current and charge voltage regulation, in addition to
automatic charge preconditioning, termination, and charge status indication. The device integrates all the loop
compensation and 5-V gate drivers for the buck-boost converter, thereby providing a high density solution
with ease of use. The switching frequency of the device can be programmed or forced to follow an external
clock frequency via the FSW_SYNC pin. While switching under light-load the device offers an optional Pulse
Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode to increase efficiency. The charger has a digital state machine that advances
the charger's states as the converter analog feedback loops hand off control to each other. It also manages the
fault protection comparators. The loops regulate and comparators compare against reference values in the I2C
registers, unless clamped by external resistors.
Besides the I2C host-controlled charging mode, the device also supports autonomous charging mode via resistor
programmable limits. Input current, charge current and charge voltage regulation targets can be changed via
the ILIM_HIZ, ICHG, and FB pins, respectively. The device can complete a charging cycle without any software
intervention. Charging function is controlled via the CE pin.
For Li-Ion and LiFePO4 chemistries, the device checks battery voltage and charges the battery in different
phases accordingly: trickle charging, pre-charging, constant current (CC) charging and constant voltage (CV)
charging. At the end of the charging cycle, the charger automatically terminates when the charge current is
below the termination current limit in the constant voltage phase. When the full battery falls below the recharge
threshold, the charger automatically starts a new charge cycle.
The input operating window is programmed via the ACUV and ACOV pins. When the input voltage is outside
the programmed window, the device automatically stops the charger, transitions to power the system load from
the battery, and the PG pin pulls HIGH. In the absence of an input source, the device can power the system
load from battery through BATFET or via reverse power flow, discharging the battery through the buck-boost
converter to generate a programmable, regulated voltage on system which is above or below the battery voltage.
The charger provides various safety features for battery charging and system operation, including battery
temperature negative thermistor (NTC) monitoring, charge timers and over-voltage/over-current protections on
battery and input. The thermal shutdown prevents charging when the junction temperature exceeds the TSHUT
limit.
The device has three status pins (STAT1, STAT2, and PG) to indicate the charging status and input voltage
status. These pins can be used to drive LEDs or communicate with a host processor. If needed, these pins can
also be used as general purpose indicators and their status controlled directly by the I2C interface. In addition,
the CE pin can also be used as a general purpose indicator. The INT pin immediately notifies host when the
device status changes, including faults.
The device also provides a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for monitoring input current, charge current
and input/battery/system/thermistor voltages (IAC, IBAT, VAC, VBAT, VSYS, TS).
The device comes with a 36-pin 5-mm × 6-mm QFN package with 0.5-mm pin pitch.

When VACUV falls and reaches VACUV_DPM, the device enters input voltage regulation, thereby reducing the
charge current. VACUV continues falling below VREF_ACUV, the device automatically stops the converter, turns off
the ACFET, turns on the BATFET and the PG pin pulls high.
System Note: if VAC_DPM register is programmed to a value higher than POR, the device regulates the
VAC voltage to the higher of VAC_DPM register or VACUV_DPM pin voltage. Refer to Section 8.3.5.1.2 for more
information.
When VACOV rises above VREF_ACOV, the device automatically stops the converter, turns off the ACFET, turns on
the BATFET and the PG pin pulls high.
The following equations govern the relationship between the resistor divider and the target operating voltage
window programmed by ACOV and ACUV pins:

VACOV_TARGET = VREF_ACOV × AC1 RAC2 (1)

AC2 AC3
If unused, tie ACUV to VAC and ACOV to PGND in order to apply the internal VAC operating window (VVAC_OP).
8.3.3.2 REGN Regulator (REGN LDO)
The REGN LDO regulator provides a regulated bias supply for the IC and the TS external resistors. Additionally,
REGN voltage can be used to drive the buck-boost switching FETs directly by tying the DRV_SUP pin to REGN.
The pull-up rail of PG, STAT1, and STAT2 can be connected to REGN as well. The REGN LDO is enabled when
below conditions are valid:
1. VAC voltage above VVAC_OK and charge is enabled in forward mode.
2. BAT voltage above 3 V in Reverse mode and Reverse Mode is enabled (EN_REV = 1)
At high input voltages and/or large gate drive requirements, the power loss from gate driving via the REGN LDO
can be excessive. This power for the gate drivers can be provided externally by directly driving the DRV_SUP
pin with a high efficiency supply ranging from 4.5 V to 12 V. This supply should be able to provide at least 50 mA
or more as required to drive the switching FET gate charge.
The power dissipation for driving the gates via the REGN LDO is: PREGN = VAC − VREGN × QG TOT 1,2, 3,4 × f SW ,
where QG(TOT)1,2,3,4 is the sum of the total gate charge for all switching FETs and fSW is the programmed
switching frequency. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) below is based on a 1-W power loss limit.

This pin must be pulled to PGND using a RFSW, do not leave floating. In addition to programming the nominal
switching frequency, the FSW_SYNC pin can also be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external
clock signal. The synchronization feature works over the same range as the switching frequency: 200-kHz to
600-kHz range.

this mode. The device draws less than IHIZ_VAC from the input supply in this mode. The charger enters HIZ Mode
when EN_HIZ bit is set to 1 or the ILIM_HIZ pin is pulled above VIH_ILIM_HIZ (refer to Section 8.3.5.1.1.1).
If the device is operating in reverse mode with the converter turned on, and the device enters HIZ mode
(EN_HIZ bit is set to 1 or ILIM_HIZ pin is pulled above VIH_ILIM_HIZ), switching stops and the system load is
provided by the battery through the BATFETs. Once HIZ mode condition is cleared by the host, the device
resumes reverse mode operation, powering the system through the converter with the BATFET off.
The device exits HIZ Mode when the EN_HIZ bit is cleared to 0 and the ILIM_HIZ pin is pulled below 0.4 V.
8.3.4 Battery Charging Management
The device charges 1-cell up-to 14-cell Li-Ion batteries and 1-cell up-to 16-cell LiFePO4 batteries. The charge
cycle is autonomous and requires no host interaction.
8.3.4.1 Autonomous Charging Cycle
When battery charging is enabled (EN_CHG bit =1 and CE pin is LOW), the device autonomously completes
a charging cycle without host involvement. The device charging parameters can be set by hardware through
the FB pin to set regulation voltage and the ICHG pin to set charging current. The host can always control the
charging operation and optimize the charging parameters by writing to the corresponding registers through I2C.

A new charge cycle starts when the following conditions are valid:
• VAC is within the ACUV and ACOV operating window
• Device is not in HIZ mode (EN_HIZ = 0 and ILIM_HIZ pin voltage is below VIH_ILIM_HIZ)
• REGN is above VREGN_OK
• Battery charging is enabled (EN_CHG = 1 and CE pin is LOW )
• No thermistor fault on TS
• No safety timer fault
For lithium-ion battery charging, the charger device automatically terminates the charging cycle when the
charging current is below termination threshold, charge voltage is above recharge threshold, and device is
not in DPM mode. When a full battery voltage is discharged below recharge threshold (threshold selectable via
VRECHG[1:0] bits), the device automatically starts a new charging cycle. After the charge is done, toggle either
CE pin or EN_CHG bit can initiate a new charging cycle. In addition, the device offers a dedicated CV timer to
stop the charging after a programmable period (CV_TMR bits) in CV mode, regardless of the charge current
value.
The status register (CHARGE_STAT) indicates the different charging phases as:
• 000 – Not Charging
• 001 – Trickle Charge (VFB < VBAT_SHORT)
• 010 – Pre-charge (VBAT_SHORT < VFB < VBAT_LOWV)
K
ICHG_MAX = RICHG (4)
ICHG
The precharge current limit is defined as IPRECHG_MAX = 20% x ICHG_MAX, and the termination current is ITERM =
10% x ICHG_MAX.
The actual charge current limit is the lower value between ICHG pin setting and I2C register setting
(ICHG_REG). For example, if the register setting is 10 A (0xC8), and ICHG pin has a 10-kΩ resistor (KICHG
= 50 A-kΩ) to ground for 5 A, the actual charge current limit is 5 A. The device regulates ICHG pin at VREF_ICHG.
If ICHG pin voltage exceeds VREF_ICHG, the device enters charge current regulation.
The ICHG pin can also be used to monitor charge current when device is not in charge current regulation. When
not in charge current regulation, the voltage on ICHG pin (VICHG) is proportional to the actual charging current.
ICHG pin can be used to monitor battery current with the following relationship:
K ×V
IBAT = R ICHG ICHG
(5)
ICHG × VREF_ICHG
For example, if ICHG pin is set with 10-kΩ resistor, and the ICHG voltage 1.0V, the actual charge current is
between 2.4 A to 2.6 A (based on KICHG specified).
If ICHG pin is shorted to PGND, the charge current limit is set by the ICHG_REG register. If hardware charge
current limit function is not needed, it is recommended to short this pin to PGND. The ICHG pin function can be
disabled by setting the EN_ICHG_PIN bit to 0 (recommended when pin is shorted to PGND). When the pin is
disabled, charge current limit and monitoring functions via ICHG pin are not available.
To set the maximum charge current using the ICHG_REG register bits, write to the ICHG_REG register bits.
The charge current limit range is from 400 mA to 20,000 mA with 50 mA/step. The default ICHG_REG is set to
maximum code, allowing ICHG pin to limit the current in hardware.
If the charger device is in DPM regulation during charging, the actual charging current will be less than the
programmed value. In this case, termination is temporarily disabled and the charging safety timer is counted at
half the clock rate, as explained in Charging Safety Timer.

If the charger device is in DPM regulation during charging, the actual charging current will be less than the
programmed value. In this case, termination is temporarily disabled and the charging safety timer is counted at
half the clock rate, as explained in Charging Safety Timer. The typical charging cycle for LiFePO4 follows the
same profile as Typical Li-Ion Battery Charging Profile.
8.3.4.4 Charging Termination for Li-ion and LiFePO4
The device terminates a charge cycle when the battery voltage is above recharge threshold, and the current is
below termination current. The termination current threshold is controlled by the lower option between 10% x
ICHG pin setting or the ITERM register setting.
In standalone applications using the ICHG pin to program the current, the termination threshold is set at 10% of
the ICHG pin value (10-A ICHG pin programming results in 1-A termination).
In host-controlled applications, the termination current can be programmed using the ITERM register bits. The
ICHG pin can still be used to set a hardware limit for the charge current.
After the charging cycle is completed, the buck-boost converter turns off. The ACFET stays on to power the
system. When termination occurs, the status register CHARGE_STAT is set to 111, and an INT pulse is asserted
to the host. Termination is temporarily disabled when the charger device is in input current, or input voltage
regulation. Termination can be permanently disabled by writing 0 to EN_TERM.
At low termination currents, due to the comparator offset, the actual termination current may be up to 20% higher
than the termination target. In order to compensate for comparator offset, a programmable top-off timer (default
disabled) can be applied after termination is detected. The top-off timer follows safety timer constraints, such that
if safety timer is suspended, so is the top-off timer. Similarly, if safety timer is doubled, so is the top-off timer.
CHARGE_STAT reports whether the top off timer is active via the 110 code. Once the Top-Off timer expires, the
CHARGE_STAT register is set to 111 and an INT pulse is asserted to the host.
8.3.4.5 Charging Safety Timer
The device has built-in safety timer to prevent extended charging cycle due to abnormal battery conditions. The
user can program fast charge safety timer through I2C (CHG_TMR bits). When safety timer expires, the fault
register CHG_TMR_STAT bit is set to 1, and an INT pulse is asserted to the host. The safety timer feature can
be disabled by clearing EN_CHG_TMR bit.
During input voltage or input current regulation, the safety timer counts at half clock rate as the actual charge
current is likely to be below the programmed setting. For example, if the charger is in input current regulation
(IAC_DPM_STAT=1) throughout the whole charging cycle, and the safety timer is set to 5 hours, then the timer
will expire in 10 hours. The timer also counts at half clock rate for TS pin events which reduce charge current
(refer to JEITA Guideline Compliance in Charge Mode section). This half clock rate feature can be disabled by
setting EN_TMR2X = 0.
During faults which disable charging, timer is suspended. Once the fault goes away, safety timer resumes. If
the charging cycle is stopped and started again, the timer gets reset (toggle CE pin or EN_CHG bit restarts the
timer).
The pre-charge safety timer is a fixed 2 hour counter that runs when VBAT < VBAT_LOWV. The pre-charge safety
timer is disabled when EN_PRECHG bit is 0.
8.3.4.6 Thermistor Qualification
The charger device provides a single thermistor input for battery temperature monitor.
8.3.4.6.1 JEITA Guideline Compliance in Charge Mode
To improve the safety of charging Li-ion batteries, JEITA guideline was released on April 20, 2007. The guideline
emphasized the importance of avoiding a high charge current and high charge voltage at certain low and high
temperature ranges.
To initiate a charge cycle, the voltage on TS pin must be within the VT1 to VT5 thresholds. If TS voltage exceeds
the T1 to T5 range, the controller suspends charging and waits until the battery temperature is within the T1 to
T5 range.
At cool temperature, T1 to T2, JEITA recommends the charge current to be reduced to half of the charge current
or lower. The device allows charge current in the cool temperature region to be progrramed to 20%, 40% or
100% of the charge current at T2 to T3 or charge suspend, which is controlled by the register bits JEITA_ISETC.
If charge current is reduced in the cool temperature region, the safety timer counts at half clock rate when
EN_TMR2X = 1.
At warm temperature, T3 to T5, JEITA recommends charge voltage less than 4.1 V / cell. The device provides
the programmability of the charge voltage at T3-T5, to be with a voltage offset less than charge voltage at T2 to
T3 or charge suspend, which is controlled by the register bits JEITA_VSET.
The charger also provides flexible voltage/current settings beyond the JEITA requirements. The charge current
setting at warm temperature T3 to T5 can be configured to be 40%, or 100% of the programmed charge current
or charge suspend, which is programmed by the register bit JEITA_ISETH. If charge current is reduced in the
JEITA warm region, the safety timer counts at half clock rate when EN_TMR2X = 1.
The default charging profile for JEITA is shown in the figure below, in which the blue line is the default setting
and the red dash line is the programmable options.

RT2 = 30.31 kΩ
The device also offers programmability for all the thresholds via the TS Charging Threshold Control register
(REG0x1B). This flexibility can help to change the charger's operating window in software.
The JEITA profile can be disabled by clearing the EN_JEITA register bit. In this case, the device still limits the
charging window from T1 to T5, but no special charge profile is employed within the Cool (T1 to T2) or Warm (T3
to T5) regions.
The NTC monitoring window can be disabled by clearing the EN_TS register bit. In this case, the TS pin voltage
is ignored, and the device always reports normal TS status. If EN_TS is set to 0, TS pin can be floated or
connected to PGND.
8.3.4.6.2 Cold/Hot Temperature Window in Reverse Mode
For battery protection during reverse or auto-reverse mode operation, the device monitors the battery
temperature to be within the VBCOLD to VBHOT thresholds. When temperature is outside of the thresholds,
the reverse mode is shut off and device returns to powering the system from the battery. In addition, EN_REV,
EN_AUTO_REV and REVERSE_STAT bits are cleared to 0 and corresponding TS_STAT is reported (TS Cold or
TS Hot). The temperature protection in reverse mode can be completely disabled by clearing the EN_TS bit to 0.

To set the minimum input voltage using the VAC_DPM register bits, write the desired value directly to the
VAC_DPM register bits. The default VAC_DPM is set to minimum code, allowing ACUV pin to limit the input
voltage in hardware.
To set the minimum input voltage using the ACUV pin, refer to Section 8.3.3.1.
8.3.5.1.2.1 Max Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for Solar PV Panel
When EN_MPPT bit is 1, the device provides a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for solar PV
panel input sources. The Input Power Maximizer algorithm finds and tracks the maximum power point by full
panel sweep.
The full panel sweep is used to find the input operating voltage which delivers the maximum charge current
to the battery. Before running a full panel sweep, the device momentarily enters HIZ mode to measure input
source open-circuit voltage (VOC). The device proceeds to reduce the input voltage regulation target, measuring
the charge current output at each setting. The VAC_DPM register is used to program the minimum voltage
to exit the full panel sweep. After the sweep is complete, the device updates the VAC_MPP register to the
input voltage regulation value producing the maximum charge current. The device then waits for a period of
FULL_SWEEP_TMR[1:0] before performing a new full panel sweep. A full panel sweep can be forced at any
time by setting the FORCE_SWEEP bit to 1. Note that EN_MPPT = 1 is required for FORCE_SWEEP to work.
The FORCE_SWEEP bit is automatically cleared to 0 after the full panel sweep is completed. Note that the
device uses the internal ADC to determine the charge current at each step of the full panel sweep, therefore
writes to the IBAT_ADC_DIS bit are ignored while MPPT is enabled (EN_MPPT = 1).
Note that when the system is directly connected to the input supply, the device cannot limit the system load.
Therefore, the MPPT algorithm may not find and track the true MPP under all conditions. To enable MPPT
operation, it is recommended to connect the system load directly in parallel to the battery pack.
8.3.6 Reverse Mode Power Direction
The device supports buck-boost reverse power direction to deliver power from the battery to the system when
the adapter is not present. During this mode of operation, the ACFET and BATFET both remain off. The reverse
mode output voltage regulation is set in VSYS_REV register bits. The reverse mode also offers output current
regulation via the R AC_SNS resistor. This parameter is controlled by the IAC_REV register bits. The reverse mode
operation can be enabled if the following conditions are valid:
1. SRN above 3 V.
2. DRV_SUP voltage within valid operating window (VDRV_UVP < VDRV < VDRV_OVP.
3. VAC outside the ACOV / ACUV operating window, or VVAC < VVAC_OK, or VVAC> VVAC_INT_OV
4. Reverse mode operation is enabled (EN_REV = 1)
5. Voltage at TS (thermistor) pin is within range configured by Reverse Temperature Monitor as configured by
BHOT and BCOLD register bits
While the reverse mode is active, the device sets the REVERSE_STAT bit to 1. Host can disable the reverse
operation at any time by setting EN_REV bit to 0. The device disables the converter, and turns the BATFET on to
connect the battery directly to the system.
The charger also monitors and regulates the battery discharging current in reverse mode. When the battery
discharge current rises above the IBAT_REV register setting, the charger reduces the reverse mode power flow
to limit the discharge current.
Once a valid VAC voltage is detected for forward operation, the device automatically disables reverse mode
(EN_REV = 0), turns on the ACFETs and proceeds to charge the battery if enabled.
8.3.6.1 Auto Reverse Mode
In some applications, a regulated system voltage is required when the adapter power is removed. The BQ25750
integrates an auto-reverse function which provides a regulated system voltage using the buck-boost converter in
reverse direction once the input power is removed.
When enabled by setting the AUTO_REV register bit to 1, Auto Reverse mode can be used to provide a
regulated system voltage immediately after the input power is removed. The device transitions to reverse mode
with the BATFET off and the converter on when the input falls below the ACUV threshold.

While the Auto reverse mode is active, the device sets the REVERSE_STAT bit to 1. Host can disable the Auto
reverse operation at any time by setting EN_AUTO_REV = 0 and EN_REV = 0. The device then disables the
converter, and turns the BATFET on to connect the battery directly to the system.
8.3.7 Integrated 16-Bit ADC for Monitoring
The device includes a 16-bit ADC to monitor critical system information based on the device’s modes of
operation. The ADC is allowed to operate if either the VVAC>VVAC_OK or VBAT>VREGN_OK is valid. The ADC_EN
bit provides the ability to enable and disable the ADC to conserve power. The ADC_RATE bit allows continuous
conversion or one-shot behavior. After a one-shot conversion finishes, the ADC_EN bit is cleared, and must be
re-asserted to start a new conversion.
The ADC_SAMPLE bits control the resolution and sample speed of the ADC. By default, ADC channels will be
converted in one-shot or continuous conversion mode unless disabled in the ADC Function Disable register. If
an ADC parameter is disabled by setting the corresponding bit, then the read-back value in the corresponding
register will be from the last valid ADC conversion or the default POR value (all zeros if no conversions have
taken place). If an ADC parameter is disabled in the middle of an ADC measurement cycle, the device will finish
the conversion of that parameter, but will not convert the parameter starting the next conversion cycle. If all
channels are disabled in one-shot conversion mode, the ADC_EN bit is cleared.
The ADC_DONE_STAT and ADC_DONE_FLAG bits signal when a conversion is complete in one-shot mode
only. This event produces an INT pulse, which can be masked with ADC_DONE_MASK. During continuous
conversion mode, the ADC_DONE_STAT bit has no meaning and will be '0'. The ADC_DONE_FLAG bit will
remain unchanged in continuous conversion mode.
ADC conversion operates independently of the faults present in the device. ADC conversion will continue even
after a fault has occurred (such as one that causes the power stage to be disabled), and the host must set
ADC_EN = ‘0’ to disable the ADC. ADC readings are only valid for DC states and not for transients. When host
writes ADC_EN = 0, the ADC stops immediately, and ADC measurement values correspond to last valid ADC
reading.
If the host wants to exit ADC more gracefully, it is possible to do either of the following:
1. Write ADC_RATE to one-shot, and the ADC will stop at the end of a complete cycle of conversions, or
2. Disable all ADC conversion channels, and the ADC will stop at the end of the current measurement.
When system load is powered from the battery (input source is removed, or device in HIZ mode), enabling the
ADC automatically powers up REGN and increases the quiescent current. To keep the battery leakage low, it is
recommended to duty cycle or completely disable the ADC.
8.3.8 Status Outputs (PG, STAT1, STAT2, and INT)
8.3.8.1 Power Good Indicator (PG)
The PG_STAT bit goes HIGH and the PG pin pulls LOW to indicate a good input source when a valid VAC
voltage is detected. The PG pin can drive an LED. All conditions must be met to indicate power good:
1. VVAC_OK < VVAC < VVAC_INT_OV
2. VACUV > VREF_ACUV
3. VACOV < VREF_ACOV
4. Device not in HIZ mode
The PG pin can be disabled via the DIS_PG_PIN bit. When disabled, this pin can be controlled to pull LOW
using the FORCE_STAT3_ON bit.
8.3.8.2 Charging Status Indicator (STAT1, STAT2 Pins)
The device indicates charging state on the open drain STAT1 and STAT2 pins. The STAT1, STAT2 pins can drive
LEDs.
Table 8-6. STAT1, STAT2 Pin State

Charge in progress (including recharge) ON OFF
Charge done OFF ON
Charging fault detected (TS out of range, safety timer fault,

etc.)
Charge disabled (EN_CHG = 0, or CE pin high) OFF OFF
The STAT1, STAT2 pin function can be disabled via the DIS_STAT_PINS bit. When disabled, these pins can
be controlled to independently pull LOW using the FORCE_STAT1_ON and FORCE_STAT2_ON bits. The STAT
pins are not affected by the Reverse mode and remain OFF during this mode.
8.3.8.3 Interrupt to Host (INT)
In some applications, the host does not always monitor the charger operation. The INT pin notifies the system
host on the device operation. By default, the following events will generate an active-low, 256-µs INT pulse.
1. Valid input source conditions detected (see conditions for PG pin)
2. Valid input source conditions removed (see conditions for PG pin)
3. Entering IAC_DPM regulation through register or ILIM_HIZ pin
4. Entering VAC_DPM regulation through register or ACUV pin
5. I2C Watchdog timer expired
6. Charger status changes state (CHARGE_STAT value change), including Charge Complete
7. TS_STAT changes state (TS_STAT value change)
8. Junction temperature shutdown (TSHUT)
9. Battery overvoltage detected (BATOVP)
10. Charge safety timer expired (including pre-charge or CV timer expiration)
11. A rising edge on any of the *_STAT bits
Each one of these INT sources can be masked off to prevent INT pulses from being sent out when they occur.
Three bits exist for each one of these events:
• The STAT bit holds the current status of each INT source
• The FLAG bit holds information on which source produced an INT, regardless of the current status
• The MASK bit is used to prevent the device from sending out INT for each particular event
When one of the above conditions occurs (a rising edge on any of the *_STAT bits), the device sends out an
INT pulse and keeps track of which source generated the INT via the FLAG registers. The FLAG register bits are
automatically reset to zero after the host reads them, and a new edge on STAT bit is required to re-assert the
FLAG.

Solving this system of equations and finding the nearest 0.1% resistor value for the desired trip-points as 40 V
and 56 V for undervoltage and overvoltage yields:
RAC2 = 6.26 kΩ
RAC3 = 22.1 kΩ
The resulting overvoltage trip point can be calculated as:
VVACOVP = 1.2 V (1,000 kΩ + 6.26 kΩ + 22.1 kΩ) / (22.1 kΩ) = 55.8 V

where
• VFB is the target feedback voltage programmed through I2C (default 1.536 V),
• VBATREG is the desired battery regulation target (58.8 V in this example)
• RFBG is the internal FBG pull-down resistor (33 Ω)
RFB_BOT = 6.712 kΩ.
Choosing the nearest 0.1% resistor value, gives RFB_BOT = 6.65 kΩ, for a nominal charge voltage of 58.75 V.
Further fine-tuning of the regulation voltage can be achieved by changing the internal feedback reference.
It is recommended to use 0.1% accurate resistors to maximize the charge voltage accuracy.
9.2.1.2.3 Switching Frequency Selection
The switching frequency is set by a resistor connected from the FSW_SYNC pin to PGND. The RFSW resistor
required to set the desired frequency is calculated using Equation 3 or Table 8-2. A 0.1% standard resistor of 80
kΩ is selected to set fSW = 350 kHz.
9.2.1.2.4 Inductor Selection
Higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. Inductor saturation current
should be higher than the inductor current (IL) plus half the ripple current (IRIPPLE):
The inductor ripple current in buck operation depends on input voltage (VAC), duty cycle (DBUCK = VBAT/VAC),
switching frequency (fSW) and inductance (L):
V × DBUCK × 1 − DBUCK
IRIPPLE_BUCK = AC f ×L (12)
SW
During boost operation, the duty cycle is: DBOOST = 1 – (VAC/VBAT). The inductor ripple current is:
V ×D
IRIPPLE_BOOST = ACf BOOST
×L (13)
SW
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5 or close to 0.5. Ripple calculations should be
analyzed for both forward and reverse operating modes if applicable.
Usually inductor ripple is designed in the range of (20 – 40%) maximum inductor current (in either forward or
reverse mode) as a trade-off between inductor size and efficiency for a practical design.
9.2.1.2.5 Input (VAC / SYS) 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 output when duty cycle is 0.5 in forward buck mode, or reverse boost mode. 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 Equation 14:
A combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors should be used to provide a short path for high di/dt current
and to reduce the voltage ripple. Ceramic capacitors should be placed close to the switching half-bridge. Given
total bulk input capacitance, it is recommended to distribute equally on either side of RAC_SNS. The complete
schematic is a good starting point for input capacitor for typical applications.
9.2.1.2.6 Output (VBAT) Capacitor
In forward boost mode or reverse buck mode, the output capacitor conducts high ripple current. The output
capacitor RMS ripple current is given by where the minimum VAC corresponds to the maximum capacitor
current.
VBAT
ICBAT = IBAT VAC − 1 (15)
58V
In this case, the highest ripple occurs with highest VBAT and lowest VAC: ICBAT = 10A 40V − 1 = 6.9A . A 5-mΩ
output capacitor ESR causes an output voltage ripple of 74 mV as given by:
V
ΔVRIPPLE ESR = IBAT × V BAT × ESR (16)
AC, min
VAC,min
1− V

ΔVRIPPLE CBAT = IBAT × C (17)

A combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors should be used to provide low ESR and high ripple current
capacity. Ceramic capacitors should be placed close to the switching half-bridge. Given total bulk output
capacitance, it is recommended to distribute equally on either side of RBAT_SNS. The complete schematic is
a good starting point for CBAT for typical applications.
9.2.1.2.7 Sense Resistor (RAC_SNS and RBAT_SNS) and Current Programming
The battery current sense resistor between SRP and SRN is fixed at 5 mΩ; using a different value is not
recommended. The input current sense resistor between ACP and ACN is typically 2 mΩ, but can be increased
to achieve better accuracy at lower sensed currents. In USB-PD EPR applications, a 5-mΩ sense resistor is
recommended to achieve programmability in 50 mA/step. In addition, if input current limit function is not desired,
ACP and ACN may be shorted together. For both of these sense resistors, a filter network is recommended as
shown in the Typical Application.
For both the input current and the output current, the limits may be programmed using the I2C interface or an
external programming resistor on ILIM_HIZ and ICHG pins, respectively.
The default input sense resistor (RAC_SNS) is 2 mΩ, and the register allows for a range of up-to 50-A input
current limit. If lower currents are desired, it is possible to use a higher resistor, such as 5 mΩ. In this case, the
IAC_DPM register value should be multiplied by a factor of 2/5 to program the correct current. For example, if
a 5-mΩ RAC_SNS is used, and the register is programmed to a value of 0x60, the true maximum current across
the RAC_SNS will be: 12A * 2/5 = 4.8 A. Similarly, the KILIM parameter used to set the ILIM_HIZ pull-down resistor
should be scaled by 2/5. For example, with a 5-mΩ RAC_SNS resistor, a 6-A current limit would be achieved as:
RILIM = KILIM * (2/5) / 6A = 3.3 kΩ.
9.2.1.2.8 Power MOSFETs Selection
Four external N-channel MOSFETs are used for a synchronous switching buck-boost battery charger. The gate
drivers are integrated into the IC with 5 V of gate drive voltage. An external gate drive voltage can be provided
directly into the DRV_SUP pin for increased efficiency.
Figure-of-merit (FOM) is usually used for selecting proper MOSFET based on a tradeoff between the conduction
loss and switching loss. For the 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 the bottom side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of the
MOSFET's on-resistance, RDS(ON), and the total gate charge, QG.
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. Taking buck mode operation as
an example the power loss is a function of duty cycle (D=VOUT/VIN), charging current (ICHG), MOSFET's on-
resistance (RDS(ON)_top), input voltage (VIN), switching frequency (fS), turn-on time (ton) and turn-off time (toff):
The first item Pcon_top represents the conduction loss which is straight forward. The second term Psw_top
represents the multiple switching loss items in top MOSFET including voltage and current overlap losses
(PIV_top), MOSFET parasitic output capacitance loss (PQoss_top) and gate drive loss (PGate_top). To calculate
voltage and current overlap losses (PIV_top):
PIV_top =0.5x VIN · Ivalley · ton· fS+0.5x VIN · Ipeak · toff · fS (23)
• ton is the MOSFET turn-on time that VDS falling time from VIN to almost zero (MOSFET turn on conduction
voltage);
• toff is the MOSFET turn-off time that IDS falling time from Ipeak to zero;

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):
Gate driving current can be estimated by REGN voltage (VREGN), MOSFET plateau voltage (Vplt), total turn-on
gate resistance (Ron), and turn-off gate resistance (Roff) of the gate driver:
• Qoss is the MOSFET parasitic output charge which can be found in MOSFET datasheet. It is recommended
to limit the total switch node capacitance CSW (nF) < 160/VIN; for example, for a 60-V application, it is
recommended to keep the total CSW < 2.67 nF
To calculate top MOSFET gate drive loss (PGate_top):
• QGate_top is the top MOSFET gate charge which can be found in MOSFET datasheet;
• Note here VIN is used instead of real gate drive voltage because the gate drive is generated based on LDO
from VIN, the total gate drive related loss are all considered when VIN is used for gate drive loss calculation.
• Alternatively, gate drive voltage can be supplied directly by external high efficiency supply into the DRV_SUP
pin. In this case, the power loss to drive the gates becomes: PGate_top =VDRV_SUP· QGate_top · fS
The bottom-side MOSFET loss also includes conduction loss and switching loss:
The first item Pcon_bottom represents the conduction loss which is straight forward. The second term Psw_bottom
represents the multiple switching loss items in bottom MOSFET including reverse recovery losses (PRR_bottom),
Dead time body diode conduction loss (PDead_bottom) and gate drive loss (PGate_bottom). The detail calculation can

• Qrr is the bottom MOSFET reverse recovery charge which can be found in MOSFET data sheet;
PGate_bottom can follow the same method as top MOSFET gate drive loss calculation approach.
Power-path FETs for providing power to SYS from either VAC or VBAT are selected as N-channel MOSFETs.
The gate drivers are integrated into the IC with 10 V of gate drive voltage; however, the gate drive voltage can be
reduced to 7 V using the PWRPATH_REDUCE_VDRV register bit if desired.
9.2.1.2.9 ACFETs and BATFETs Selection
Four external N-channel MOSFETs are used for power path transfer. Two on the VAC side called ACFETs and
two on the VBAT side called BATFETs.
The proper trade off for selecting these MOSFETs depends on the SOA characteristics. All four FETs follow the
same trend hence the same FET can be used at all four places. It is essential to select a MOSFET that offers
close to 10A Drain Current at 30V VDS at DC and also has the capability to offer 100A Drain Current at 30V
VDS at 10 μs without breaking. Furthermore, the SOA characteristics should be such that the maximum junction
temperature should be at least 125°C. The FETs selected for this application are AONS6276 and can withstand
a voltage swing of up-to 30V from VAC to VBAT and vice-versa.

IN, boost
For good phase margin, the unity gain bandwidth (UGBW) of the converter should be about 1/3 of the RHPz.
The boost output capacitor (Cload), and the converter transient parameters (R1, gm1) need to be scaled to move
the location of the UGBW of the converter.
The device adjusts Adiv, gm1 and R1 based on the output voltage and the EN_CONV_FAST_TRANSIENT bit
setting per the table below. During some boost case scenarios, the Cload needs to be adjusted to limit the
converter bandwidth.
As an example, assume the device operates in reverse boost mode from a 5V supply to provide a 7V boost
output voltage with load up-to 5A and 10μH inductor. The RHPz is approximately located at:
V
RHPz = I IN, boost 2πL
1
= 11.4kHz (38)
IN, boost
For best stability, the UGBW of the converter should be limited to 1/3 of the RHP zero, or 3.8kHz. If
EN_CONV_FAST_TRANSIENT = 1, the equation becomes:
Solving the above for Cload gives ≥51 μF capacitor requirement. However, the minimum recommended capacitor
for converter stability is 80 μF, so this minimum value should be used.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Proper layout of the components to minimize high frequency current path loops is important to prevent electrical
and magnetic field radiation and high frequency resonant problems. Here is a PCB layout priority list for proper
layout.
Table 11-1. PCB Layout Guidelines
COMPONENTS FUNCTION IMPACT GUIDELINES
Buck high side FET, Buck input loop High frequency noise, This path forms a high frequency switching loop due
Buck low side FET, input ripple, efficiency to the pulsating current at the input of the buck. Place
capacitors components on the same side of the board. Minimize
loop area to reduce parasitic inductance. Maximize
trace width to reduce parasitic resistance. Place input
ceramic capacitors close to the switching FETs.
Boost low side FET, boost Boost output loop High frequency noise, This path forms a high frequency switching loop due to
high side FET, output ripple, efficiency the pulsating current at the output of the boost. Place
capacitors components on the same side of the board. Minimize
loop area to reduce parasitic inductance. Maximize
trace width to reduce parasitic resistance. Place output
ceramic capacitors close to the switching FETs.
Sense resistors, switching Current path Efficiency The current path from input to output through the
FETs, inductor power stage and sense resistors has low impedance.
Pay attention to via resistance if they are not on the
same side. The number of vias can be estimated as
1- to 2-A per via for a 10-mil via with 1 oz. copper
thickness.
Switching FETs, inductor Power stage Thermal, efficiency The switching FETs and inductor are the components
with highest power loss. Allow enough copper area
for heat dissipation. Multiple thermal vias can be used
to connect more copper layers together and dissipate
more heat.
DRV_SUP, BTST1, BTST2 Switching FET gate drive High frequency noise, The DRV_SUP capacitor is used to supply the power
capacitors parasitic ringing, gate to drive the low side FETs. The BTST capacitors are
drive integrity used to drive the high side FETs. It is recommended to
place the capacitors as close as possible to the IC.
LODRV1, LODRV2 Low side gate drive High frequency noise, LODRV1 and LODRV2 supplies the gate drive current
parasitic ringing, gate to turn on the low side FETs. The return of LODRV1
drive integrity and LODRV2 is PGND. As current take the path of
least impedance, a ground plane close to the low side
gate drive traces is recommended. Minimize gate drive
length and aim for at least 20-mil gate drive trace
width.
HIDRV1, HIDRV2, SW1 High side gate drive High frequency noise, HIDRV1 and HIDRV2 supplies the gate drive current
(pin trace), SW2 (pin parasitic ringing, gate to turn on the high side FETs. The return of HIDRV1
trace) drive integrity and HIDRV2 are SW1 and SW2, respectively. Route
HIDRV1/SW1 and HIDRV2/SW2 pair next to each
other to reduce gate drive parasitic inductance.
Minimize gate drive length and aim for at least 20-mil
gate drive trace width.
Current limit resistors, IC programmable settings Regulation accuracy, Pin voltage determines the settings for input current
FSW_SYNC resistor switching integrity limit, output current limit and switching frequency.
Ground noise on these could lead to inacuracy.
Minimize ground return from these resistors to the IC
ground pin.
Input (ACP, ACN) and Current regulation Regulation accuracy Use Kelvin-sensing technique for input and output
output (SRP, SRN) current current sense resistors. Connect the current sense
sense traces to the center of the pads, and run current sense
traces as differential pairs, away from switching nodes.
Input (ACUV), and output Voltage sense and Regulation accuracy ACUV divider sets internal input voltage regulation in
(FB, VO_SNS) voltage regulation forward mode (VACUV_DPM). FB divider sets battery
sensing voltage regulation in forward mode (VFB_ACC). Route
the top of the divider point to the target regulation
location. Avoid routing close to high power switching
nodes.
Bypass capacitors Noise filter Noise immunity Place lowest value capacitors closest to the IC.
For both input and output current sensing resistors, differential sensing and routing method are suggested and
highlighted in figure below. Use wide trace for gate drive traces, minimum 20-mil trace width. Connect all analog
grounds to a dedicated low-impedance copper plane, which is tied to the power ground underneath the IC
exposed pad.
