LP3947

USB/AC Adaptor, Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger IC

General Description

The LP3947 is a complete charge management system that

safely charges and maintains a Li-Ion battery from either

USB power source or AC adaptor. In USB mode, the LP3947

supports charging in low power or high power mode. Alter-

natively, the LP3947 can take charge from AC adaptor. In

both USB and AC adaptor modes, charge current, battery

regulation voltage, and End of Charge (EOC) point can be

selected via I

C interface. The LP3947 can also operate on

default values that are pre-programmed in the factory. The

battery temperature is monitored continuously at the Ts pin

to safeguard against hazardous charging conditions. The

charger also has under-voltage and over-voltage protection

as well as an internal 5.6 hr timer to protect the battery. The

pass transistor and charge current sensing resistor are all

integrated inside the LP3947.

The LP3947 operates in four modes: pre-qualification, con-

stant current, constant voltage and maintenance modes.

There are two open drain outputs for status indication. An

internal amplifier readily converts the charge current into a

voltage. Also, the charger can operate in an LDO mode

providing a maximum of 1.2 Amp to the load.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device

is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical

Characteristics tables.

Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.

Note 3: Caution must be taken to avoid raising pins EN and VT0.3V higher than VCHG-IN and raising pins ISEL, MODE, SCL and SDA 0.3V higher than VBATT.

Note 4: The Absolute Maximum power dissipation depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using the formula

P=(T

–T

)θ

, (1)

where TJis the junction temperature, TAis the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The 1.89W rating appearing under

Absolute Maximum Ratings results from substituting the Absolute Maximum junction temperature, 150˚C, for TJ, 80˚C for TA, and 37˚C/W for θJA. More power can

be dissipated safely at ambient temperatures below 80˚C. Less power can be dissipated safely at ambient temperatures above 80˚C. The Absolute Maximum power

dissipation can be increased by 27 mW for each degree below 80˚C, and it must be de-rated by 27 mW for each degree above 80˚C.

Note 5: The human-body model is used. The human-body model is 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ.

Note 6: Like the Absolute Maximum power dissipation, the maximum power dissipation for operation depends on the ambient temperature. The 1.21W rating

appearing under Operating Ratings results from substituting the maximum junction temperature for operation, 125˚C, for TJ, 80˚C for TA, and 37˚C/W for θJA into

(1) above. More power can be dissipated at ambient temperatures below 80˚C. Less power can be dissipated at ambient temperatures above 80˚C. The maximum

power dissipation for operation can be increased by 27 mW for each degree below 80˚C, and it must be de-rated by 27 mW for each degree above 80˚C.

Note 7: All limits are guaranteed. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production with TJ= 25˚C. All hot and cold limits are

guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical process control.

Note 8: Guaranteed by design.

Note 9: LP3947 is not intended as a Li-Ion battery protection device, any battery used in this application should have an adequate internal protection.

Note 10: The ±10 mA limits apply to all charge currents from 100 mA to 450 mA, to 0.1C End Of Charge (EOC). The limits increase proportionally with higher EOC

points. For example, at 0.2C, the End Of Charge current accuracy becomes ±20 mA.

Application Notes

LP3947 CHARGER OPERATION

The LP3947 charge cycle is initiated with AC adaptor or USB

power source insertion. If the voltage on the CHG-IN pin

meets under-voltage (V

UVLO-TSHD

), over-voltage (V

OVLO-

TSHD

) requirements, and the Adaptor OK signal is detected,

then pre-qualification cycle begins (see Figure 1). In this

cycle, a safe current level, less than 70mA, is pumped into

the battery while the voltage across the battery terminals is

measured. Once this voltage exceeds 3.0V, the controller

will initiate constant current fast charge cycle. If the CHG-IN

pin is connected to an AC adaptor, the default charge current

is 500 mA and I

C interface can be used to program this

parameter. If the CHG-IN pin is connected to the USB port,

constant current cycle will start with a default of 100 mA.

During this cycle, the 5.6 hr safety timer starts counting.

If the 5.6 hr safety timers times out during constant current

cycle, charging is terminated. As the battery is charged

during constant current mode, the voltage across pack ter-

minal increases until it reaches 4.2V (or 4.1V). As soon as

pack terminal reaches 4.2V (or 4.1V), the controller starts

operating in constant voltage mode by applying regulated

BATT

voltage across the battery terminals. During this cycle,

the charge current, I

CHG

, continues to decrease with time

and when it drops below 0.1C (default value), the EOC

signal is activated indicating successful completion of the

charge cycle. The EOC current can be programmed to 0.1C,

0.15C, or 0.2C. The default value is 0.1C. After completing

the full charge cycle, the controller will start the maintenance

cycle where battery pack voltage is monitored continuously.

During the maintenance cycle, if the pack voltage drops 200

mV below the termination voltage, charge cycle will be initi-

ated providing that the wall adaptor is plugged in and is alive.

Charging terminates when the battery temperature is out of

range. For more explanation, please refer to “Ts Pin” section.

The LP3947 with I

C interface allows maximum flexibility in

selecting the charge current, battery regulation voltage and

EOC current. The LP3947 operates in default mode during

power up. See the “I

C Interface” section for more detail.

When charging source comes from the USB port, charging

starts with 100 mA (low power mode, ISEL = high). The USB

controller can set the ISEL pin low to charge the battery at

500 mA. A simple external circuit selects between an AC

adaptor or the USB port. The circuit is designed with priority

given to the AC adaptor.

Application Notes (Continued)

CHARGE CURRENT SELECTION IN CONSTANT

CURRENT MODE

In the AC adaptor mode, the LP3947 is designed to provide

a charge current ranging from 100 mA to 750 mA, in steps of

50 mA, to support batteries with different capacity ratings.

The default value is 500 mA. No external resistor is required

to set the charge current in the LP3947. In the USB mode,

the LP3947 will initially charge with 100 mA (ISEL = high). By

setting the ISEL pin low, charge current can be programmed

to 500 mA. In addition, with ISEL = low, the charge current

can be programmed to different values via the I

C interface.

reprogrammed via I

HIGH LOW

USB Mode LOW HIGH 100 mA charge current

LOW LOW Default 500 mA charge current. Can be reprogrammed via I

BATTERY VOLTAGE SELECTION

The battery voltage regulation can be set to 4.1V or 4.2V by

default. Please refer to the Ordering Information table for

more detail.

END OF CHARGE (EOC) CURRENT SELECTION

The EOC thresholds can be programmed to 0.1C, 0.15C or

0.2C in the LP3947. The default value is 0.1C, which pro-

vides the highest energy storage, but at the expense of

longer charging time. On the other hand, 0.2C takes the

least amount of charging time, but yields the least energy

storage.

CHARGE CURRENT SENSE DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

The charge current is monitored across the internal 120 mΩ

current sense resistor. The differential amplifier provides the

analog representation of the charge current. Charge current

can be calculated using the following equation:

Where voltage at Diff Amp output (V

DIFF

) is in volt, and

charge current (I

CHG

) is in amps.

Monitoring the Diff Amp output during constant voltage cycle

can provide an accurate indication of the battery charge

status and time remaining to EOC. This feature is particularly

useful during constant voltage mode. The current sense

circuit is operational in the LDO mode as well. It can be used

to monitor the system current consumption during testing.

LED CHARGE STATUS INDICATORS

The LP3947 is equipped with two open drain outputs to drive

a green LED and a red LED. These two LEDs work together

in combinations to indicate charge status or fault conditions.

Table 2 shows all the conditions.

Ts PIN

The LP3947 continuously monitors the battery temperature

by measuring the voltage between the Ts pin and ground.

Charging stops if the battery temperature is outside the

permitted temperature range set by the battery’s internal

thermistor R

and the external bias resistor R

. A 1% preci-

sion resistor should be used for R

A curve 2 type thermistor

is recommended for R

. The voltage across R

is propor-

tional to the battery temperature. If the battery temperature is

outside of the range during the charge cycle, the LP3947 will

suspend charging. As an example, for a temperature range

of 0˚C to 50˚C, a 10kΩfor the thermistor and a 4.1kΩfor R

should be used. When battery temperature returns to the

permitted range, charging resumes from the beginning of the

flow chart and the 5.6 hr safety timer is reset. Refer to Figure

3. LP3947 Charger Flow Chart for more information.

In absence of the thermistor, Ts pin will be pulled high to VT

and the LP3947 goes into LDO mode. In this mode, the

internal power FET provides up to 1.2 amp of current at the

BATT pin. The LDO output is set to 4.1V or 4.2V, depending

on the programmed battery regulation voltage. When oper-

ating at higher output currents, care must be taken not to

exceed the package power dissipation rating. See “Thermal

Performance of LLP Package” section for more detail.

0V ≤Ts ≤1.39V

Charger Off

1.39V <Ts <2.427V Charger On

LDO MODE

The charger is in the LDO mode when the Ts pin is left

floating. This mode of operation is used primarily during

system level testing of the handset to eliminate the need for

battery insertion. CAUTION: battery may be damaged if

device is operating in LDO mode with battery connected.

The internal power FET provides up to 1.2 amp of current at

BATT pin in this mode. The LDO output is set to 4.1V. When

operating at higher output currents, care must be taken not

to exceed the package power dissipation rating. See “Ther-

mal Performance of LLP Package” section for more detail.

EN PIN

The Enable pin is used to enable/disable the charger, in both

the charger mode and the LDO mode, see Figures 5, 6. The

enable pin is internally pulled HIGH to the CHG-IN pin. When

the charger is disabled, it draws less than 4 µA of current.

Application Notes (Continued)

MODE PIN

The mode pin toggles the LP3947 between the AC adaptor

mode and the USB mode. When CHG-IN is connected to a

USB port, this pin must be set low. When CHG-IN is con-

nected to an AC adaptor, this pin must be tied high to either

the BATT pin or to the wall adaptor input. Caution: MODE pin

should never be tied to CHG-IN pin directly, as it will turn on

an internal diode.

5.6 HR SAFETY TIMER IN CHARGER MODE

The LP3947 has a built-in 5.6 hr back up safety timer to

prevent over-charging a Li Ion battery. The 5.6 hr timer starts

counting when the charger enters the constant current

mode. It will turn the charger off when the 5.6 hr timer is up

while the charger is still in constant current mode. In this

case, both LEDs will turn on, indicating a fault condition.

When the battery temperature is outside the specified tem-

perature range, the 5.6 hr safety timer will reset upon recov-

ery of the battery temperature.

C INTERFACE

C interface is used in the LP3947 to program various

parameters as shown in Table 3. The LP3947 operates on

default settings following power up. Once programmed, the

LP3947 retains the register data as long as the battery

voltage is above 2.85V.

THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF LLP PACKAGE

The LP3947 is a monolithic device with an integrated pass

transistor. To enhance the power dissipation performance,

the Leadless Lead frame Package, or LLP, is used. The LLP

package is designed for improved thermal performance be-

cause of the exposed die attach pad at the bottom center of

the package. It brings advantage to thermal performance by

creating a very direct path for thermal dissipation. Compared

to the traditional leaded packages where the die attach pad

is embedded inside the mold compound, the LLP reduces a

layer of thermal path.

The thermal advantage of the LLP package is fully realized

only when the exposed die attach pad is soldered down to a

thermal land on the PCB board and thermal vias are planted

underneath the thermal land. Based on a LLP thermal mea-

surement, junction to ambient thermal resistance (θ

) can

be improved by as much as two times if a LLP is soldered on

the board with thermal land and thermal vias than if not.

An example of how to calculate for LLP thermal performance

is shown below:

By substituting 37˚C/W for θ

, 125˚C for T

and 70˚C for T

the maximum power dissipation allowed from the chip is

1.48W. If V

CHG-IN

is at 5.0V and a 3.0V battery is being

charged, then 740 mA of I

CHG

can safely charge the battery.

More power can be dissipated at ambient temperatures

below 70˚C. Less power can be dissipated at ambient tem-

peratures above 70˚C. The maximum power dissipation for

operation can be increased by 27 mW for each degree below

70˚C, and it must be de-rated by 27 mW for each degree

above 70˚C.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATION

The LP3947 has an exposed die attach pad located at the

bottom center of the LLP package. It is imperative to create

a thermal land on the PCB board when designing a PCB

layout for the LLP package. The thermal land helps to con-

duct heat away from the die, and the land should be the

same dimension as the exposed pad on the bottom of the

LLP (1:1 ratio). In addition, thermal vias should be added

inside the thermal land to conduct more heat away from the

surface of the PCB to the ground plane. Typical pitch and

outer diameter for these thermal vias are 1.27 mm and 0.33

mm respectively. Typical copper via barrel plating is 1oz

although thicker copper may be used to improve thermal

performance. The LP3947 bottom pad is connected to

ground. Therefore, the thermal land and vias on the PCB

board need to be connected to ground.

For more information on board layout techniques, refer to

Application Note 1187 “Leadless Leadframe Package

(LLP).” The application note also discusses package han-

dling, solder stencil, and assembly.
