MP2623
Stand-Alone, 2A, 1- or2-Cell
Switching LiFePO4 Battery Charger
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2623 is a monolithic, DC-DC, stepdown, switching charger for a 1-or-2-cell serial
LiFePO4 battery. It has an integrated high-side
power MOSFET that can output up to a 2A
charge current. It also has peak-current–mode
control for fast loop response and easy
compensation.
The MP2623 uses a sense resistor to control a
programmable charge current, and accurately
regulates the charge current and the charge
voltage using two control loops.
The MP2623 has multiple fault-condition
protections that include cycle-by-cycle current
limiting and thermal shutdown. Other safety
features include battery temperature monitoring
and protection, charge status indication and a
programmable timer to halt charging after a set
time period.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any
ambient
temperature
is
calculated
by
PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die
temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from
permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7 4-layer board.

MP2623 – 2A, 24V INPUT, 1.1MHz 1- OR 2-CELL SWITCHING LIFEPO4 BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATION
The MP2623 is a peak-current–mode controlled
switching charger for use with LiFePO4 batteries.
(10% of the RS1-programmed constant-charge
current, ICC) until the battery voltage reaches VTC.
At the beginning of each cycle, M1 is off and the
COMP voltage exceeds the output of the currentsense amplifier (A1). The PWM comparator’s
output is low, and the rising edge of the 1.1MHz
CLK signal sets the RS flip-flop that turns on M1;
this connects the SW pin and the inductor to the
input supply.
If the charge stays in the trickle-charge mode
until the time-out condition triggers, charging
terminates and will not resume until either the
input power or the EN signal refreshes.
Otherwise, GMI regulates the charge current to
the level set by RS1. The charger operates in
constant-current–charging mode. The COMPI
voltage—regulated by GMI—determines the
switching duty cycle.
A1 senses and amplifies the inductor current:
The PWM comparator then compares the sum of
this signal and the ramp compensator signal
against the COMP signal. When the sum of the
A1 output and the ramp compensator exceeds
the COMP voltage, the RS flip-flop resets and
turns M1 off. The external switching diode (D2)
then conducts the inductor current. If the sum of
the A1 output and the ramp compensator does
not exceed the COMP voltage, then the falling
edge of the CLK resets the flip-flop.
When the battery voltage triggers constantvoltage mode, GMV regulates the COMP pin and
the duty cycle. When the charge current drops to
the battery-full threshold, IBF (typically 10% ICC),
the battery is defined as fully-charged, the
charger stops charging, and CHGOK goes high
to indicate the charge-full condition. If the total
charge time exceeds the timer period, charging
terminates at once and will resume when either
the input power or EN signal can restart the
charger.
The MP2623 uses COMP to select the smaller
value of GMI and GMV to implement either
current-loop control or voltage-loop control.
Current-loop control triggers when the battery
voltage goes low, which results in the GMV
output saturating. The GMI compares the charge
current (as a voltage sensed through RS1)
against the reference voltage to regulate the
charge current to a constant value. When the
battery voltage charges up to the reference
voltage, the output of GMV goes low and initiates
voltage loop control to control the duty cycle to
regulate the output voltage.
Figure 2 shows the typical charge profile of the
MP2623.
The MP2623 has an internal linear regulator—
VREF33—to power internal circuitry. It can also
power external circuitry as long as the load does
not exceed the maximum current (30mA).
Connect a 1μF bypass capacitor from VREF33 to
GND to ensure stability.
Automatic Recharge
After the battery completely recharges, the
charger removes all the blocks besides the
battery voltage monitor to reduce the leakage
current from the input or the battery. If the battery
voltage drops below 3.42V/Cell, the circuit will
automatically recharge the battery using soft-start.
The timer will then restart to avoid triggering a
false fault.
Charge Cycle (Mode change: Trickle CC
CV)
At the start of a charging cycle, the MP2623
monitors VBATT. If VBATT is lower than the tricklecharge threshold, VTC (typically 2.52V/cell), the
charging cycle will start in trickle-charge mode

MP2623 has two open-drain status outputs:
ACOK and CHGOK . The ACOK pin goes low
when the IC supply voltage (VCC) exceeds the
under-voltage lockout threshold and the
regulated voltage VIN is 300mV higher than VBATT
to make sure the regulator can operate normally.
CHGOK
indicates
charge
status.
Table
1
describes ACOK and CHGOK outputs under
different charge conditions.
