MITSUMI Lithium-Ion Battery Charge Control MM1581
Operation
12-1 Charging operation
Charging is prohibited in the following cases.
1. AC adaptor or battery is not connected properly.
2. TDET pin voltage is outside the range from battery temperature detection voltage L1 to battery
temperature detection voltage H1.
If neither of the above problems exists, charging starts.
12-2 Battery voltage check operation
·When potential within the range from battery temperature detection voltage L1 to battery temperature
detection voltage H1 is impressed on the TDET pin, then after temperature detection delay time, VBAT
output voltage is 4.2V. Then, after 1.15 seconds (when C2 = 2.2µF) output voltage is switched to
1.46V, battery voltage is detected and charging starts.
(Voltage detection is not performed during this time.)
Also, during 4.2V constant voltage output, current detection resistance voltage drop is limited to
256mV.
12-3 Abnormal battery detection
·Charging is stopped if, after battery voltage check, the battery is deemed abnormal because battery
voltage goes below low voltage detection voltage.
12-4 Pre-charge operation
·Charging is done by pre-charge current when, after battery voltage check, battery voltage is below
low voltage detection voltage (VLV).
12-5 Full charge operation
·When battery voltage rises and BAT pin voltage reaches pre-charge detection voltage (VP), the
battery is charged by full charging current. The standard value for full charging current is determined
by the value obtained by dividing current limit 1 (VL1) by the external resistance between CS+ and
CS-.
·When battery voltage rises, the operation switches from constant current charging to constant
voltage charging when BAT pin voltage approaches BAT pin output voltage (VBAT).
·After switching to constant voltage charging, charging current gradually diminishes. When charging
current goes below the value obtained by dividing full charge detection voltage (VF) by the external
resistance between CS + -CS, charging is completed after full charge detection delay time and the
LED G pin open collector NPNP transistor goes on.
(LED G stays lit except when (1) AD adaptor is removed, or (2) when outside battery temperature
detection voltage range (including removal of battery).)
·If battery voltage is already at BAT pin voltage when charging starts, charging is completed after full
charge detection delay time, and the LED G pin open collector NPN transistor goes on.
12-6 Re-charge operation
·After full charge detection, battery voltage drops from charging completed state, and re-charge starts
when it goes below re-charge detection voltage.
12-7 Temperature monitoring function
·The potential divided from VREF by the external resistor and thermistor is monitored by the TDET pin.
·When a thermistor is not used, a resistor can be connected to enable charging, but temperature
protection will no longer operate. Battery open detection assumes a removable thermistor in the
battery pack. A battery open detection circuit would be required if a thermistor is not used.
