It provides a regulated charging current of up to 4A without getting hot, and a regulated voltage with only 0.75% total error at the battery terminals. It uses low-cost, 1% resistors to set the output voltage, and a low-cost N-channel MOSFET as the power switch. The MAX745 regulates the voltage set point and charging current using two loops that work together to transition smoothly between voltage and current regulation. The per-cell battery voltage regulation limit is set between 4V and 4.4V using standard 1% resistors, and then the number of cells is set from 1 to 4 by pin-strapping. Total output voltage error is less than 0.75%. For a similar device with an SMBusTM microcontroller interface and the ability to charge NiCd and NiMH cells, refer to the MAX1647 and MAX1648. For a low-cost Li+ charger using a linear-regulator control scheme, refer to the MAX846A.

The charge voltage and current are set independently by external resistordividers at SETI and VADJ, and at pin connections at CELL0 and CELL1. VADJ is connected to a resistordivider to set the charging voltage. The output voltageadjustment range is 5%, eliminating the need for 0.1% resistors while still achieving 0.75% set accuracy using 1% resistors. The MAX745 consists of a current-mode, pulse-widthmodulated (PWM) controller and two transconductance error amplifiers: one for regulating current (GMI) and the other for regulating voltage (GMV) (Figure 2). The error amplifiers are controlled through the SETI and VADJ pins. Whether the MAX745 is controlling voltage or current at any time depends on the battery state. If the battery is discharged, the MAX745 output reaches the current-regulation limit before the voltage limit, causing the system to regulate current. As the battery charges, the voltage rises to the point where the voltage limit is reached and the charger switches to regulating voltage. The STATUS pin indicates whether the charger is regulating current or voltage. Voltage Control To set the voltage limit on the battery, connect a resistor- divider to VADJ from REF. A 0V to VREF change at VADJ sets a 5% change in the battery limit voltage around 4.2V. Since the 0 to 4.2V range on VADJ results in only a 10% change on the voltage limit, the resistordivider's accuracy does not need to be as high as the output voltage accuracy. Using 1% resistors for the voltage dividers typically results in no more than 0.1% degradation in output voltage accuracy. VADJ is internally buffered so that high-value resistors can be used to set the output voltage. When the voltage at VADJ is _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX745 ______________________________________________________________Pin Description MAX745 Switch-Mode Lithium-Ion Battery Charger VREF / 2, the voltage limit is 4.2V. Table 1 defines the battery cell count. The battery limit voltage is set by the following: 1 VREF VADJ - 2 VBATT = cell count x VREF + 9.523 ( ) Solving for VADJ, we get: 9.523 VBATT VADJ = - 9.023VREF (cell count) where VREF = 4.2V and cell count is 1, 2, 3, 4 (Table 1). The voltage-regulation loop is compensated at the CCV pin. Typically, a series-resistor-capacitor combination can be used to form a pole-zero doublet. The pole introduced rolls off the gain starting at low frequencies. The zero of the doublet provides sufficient AC gain at mid-frequencies. The output capacitor (C1) rolls off the mid-frequency gain to below unity. This guarantees stability before encountering the zero introduced by the C1's equivalent series resistance (ESR). The GMV amplifier's output is internally clamped to between onefourth and three-fourths of the voltage at REF. Current Control Set VADJ by choosing a value for R11 (typically 100k), and determine R3 by: R3 = [1 - (VADJ / VREF)] x R11 (Figure 1) Table 1. Cell-Count Programming Table CELL0 CELL1 CELL COUNT GND GND 1 VL GND 2 GND VL 3 VL VL 4 VIN The charging current is set by a combination of the current-sense resistor value and the SETI pin voltage. The current-sense amplifier measures the voltage across the current-sense resistor, between CS and BATT. The current-sense amplifier's gain is 6. The voltage on SETI is buffered and then divided by 4. This voltage is compared to the current-sense amplifier's output. Therefore, full-scale current is accomplished by connecting SETI to REF. The full-scale charging current (IFS) is set by the following: IFS = 185mV / R1 (Figure 1) (UP TO 24V) D2 C5 4.7F IN4148 VL DCIN BST REF R16 C7 0.1F R15 10k C4 0.1F C6 0.1F L1 22H DHI THM/SHDN M1A 1/2 IRF7303 LX MAX745 R3 100k 1% 1/2 IRF7303 M1B THM 1 DLO SETI R12 D6 MBRS 340T3 D1 MBRS 340T3 PGND VADJ C2, 0.1F R1 0.2 CS R2 10k BATT CCV R11 100k 1% CCI C3 47nF STATUS GND BATTERY IBAT Figure 1. Standard Application Circuit 6 _______________________________________________________________________________________ C1 68F Switch-Mode Lithium-Ion Battery Charger ICHG = IFS (VSETI / VREF) A capacitor at CCI sets the current-feedback loop's dominant pole. While the current is in regulation, CCV voltage is clamped to within 80mV of the CCI voltage. This prevents the battery voltage from overshooting when the voltage setting is changed. The converse is true when the voltage is in regulation and the current setting is changed. Since the linear range of CCI or CCV is about 2V (1.5V to 3.5V), the 80mV clamp results in negligible overshoot when the loop switches from voltage regulation to current regulation, or vice versa. Monitoring Charge Current The battery-charging current can be externally monitored by placing a scaling resistor (RIBAT) between IBAT and GND. IBAT is the output of a voltage-controlled current source, with output current given by: I IBAT = 0.9A mV x VSENSE where VSENSE is the voltage across the current-sense resistor (in millivolts) given by: VSENSE = VCS - VBATT = ICHG x R1 The voltage across RIBAT is then given by: RIBAT must be chosen to limit VIBAT to voltages below 2V for the maximum charging current. Connect IBAT to GND if unused. PWM Controller The battery voltage or current is controlled by a current-mode, PWM DC/DC converter controller. This controller drives two external N-channel MOSFETs, which control power from the input source. The controller sets the switched voltages pulse width so that it supplies the desired voltage or current to the battery. Total component cost is reduced by using a dual, N-channel MOSFET. The heart of the PWM controller is a multi-input comparator. This comparator sums three input signals to determine the switched signal's pulse width, setting the battery voltage or current. The three signals are the current-sense amplifier's output, the GMV or GMI error amplifier's output, and a slope-compensation signal that ensures that the current-control loop is stable. The PWM comparator compares the current-sense amplifier's output to the lower output voltage of either the GMV or GMI amplifiers (the error voltage). This current-mode feedback reduces the effect of the inductor on the output filter LC formed by the output inductor (L1) and C1 (Figure 1). This makes stabilizing the circuit much easier, since the output filter changes to a first-order RC from a complex, second-order RLC.

Functional Diagram _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX745 To set currents below full scale without changing R1, adjust the voltage at SETI according to the following formula: MAX745 Switch-Mode Lithium-Ion Battery Charger MOSFET Drivers Minimum Input Voltage The MAX745 drives external N-channel MOSFETs to switch the input source generating the battery voltage or current. Since the high-side N-channel MOSFET's gate must be driven to a voltage higher than the input source voltage, a charge pump is used to generate such a voltage. The capacitor (C7) charges through D2 to approximately 5V when the synchronous rectifier (M1B) turns on (Figure 1). Since one side of C7 is connected to LX (the source of M1A), the high-side driver (DHI) drives the gate up to the voltage at BST, which is greater than the input voltage while the high-side MOSFET is on. The synchronous rectifier (M1B) behaves like a diode but has a smaller voltage drop, improving efficiency. A small dead time is added between the time when the high-side MOSFET is turned off and when the synchronous rectifier is turned on, and vice versa. This prevents crowbar currents during switching transitions. Place a Schottky rectifier from LX to ground (D1, across M1B's drain and source) to prevent the synchronous rectifier's body diode from conducting during the dead time. The body diode typically has slower switchingrecovery times, so allowing it to conduct degrades efficiency. D1 can be omitted if efficiency is not a concern, but the resulting increased power dissipation in the synchronous rectifier must be considered. Since the BST capacitor is charged while the synchronous rectifier is on, the synchronous rectifier may not be replaced by a rectifier. The BST capacitor will not fully charge without the synchronous rectifier, leaving the highside MOSFET with insufficient gate drive to turn on. However, the synchronous rectifier can be replaced with a small MOSFET (such as a 2N7002) to guarantee that the BST capacitor is allowed to charge. In this case, the majority of the high charging currents are carried by D1, and not by the synchronous rectifier. The input voltage to the charger circuit must be greater than the maximum battery voltage by approximately 2V so the charger can regulate the voltage properly. The input voltage can have a large AC-ripple component when operating from a wall cube. The voltage at the low point of the ripple waveform must still be approximately 2V greater than the maximum battery voltage. Using components as indicated in Figure 1, the minimum input voltage can be determined by the following formula: [VBATT + VD6 + ICHG (RDS(ON) + RL + R1)] VIN x 0.89 where: VIN is the input voltage; VD6 is the voltage drop across D6 (typically 0.4V to 0.5V); Internal Regulator and Reference The MAX745 uses an internal low-dropout linear regulator to create a 5.4V power supply (VL), which powers its internal circuitry. The VL regulator can supply up to 25mA. Since 4mA of this current powers the internal circuitry, the remaining 21mA can be used for external circuitry. MOSFET gate-drive current comes from VL, which must be considered when drawing current for other functions. To estimate the current required to drive the MOSFETs, multiply the sum of the MOSFET gate charges by the switching frequency (typically 300kHz). Bypass VL with a 4.7F capacitor to ensure stability. The MAX745 internal 4.2V reference voltage must be bypassed with a 0.1F or greater capacitor. ICHG is the charging current; RDS(ON) is the high-side MOSFET M1A's on-resistance; RL is the the inductor's series resistance; R1 is the current-sense resistor R1's value. __________________Pin Configuration TOP VIEW IBAT 1 20 BST DCIN 2 19 LX VL 3 18 DHI 17 DLO CCV 4 CCI 5 MAX745 THM/SHDN 6 16 PGND 15 CS REF 7 14 BATT VADJ 8 13 STATUS SETI 9 12 CELL0 GND 10 11 CELL1 SSOP ___________________Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 1695 SUBSTRATE CONNECTED TO GND 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
