The MCP7386X family of devices features highly
advanced linear charge management controllers for
use in space-limited, cost-sensitive applications. The
devices combine high-accuracy, constant voltage and
current
regulation,
cell
preconditioning,
cell
temperature monitoring, advanced safety timers,
automatic charge termination, internal current sensing,
reverse-blocking protection, charge status and fault
indication in either a space-saving 16-pin 4 x 4 QFN
package, or a 16-pin SOIC package. The MCP7386X
provides a complete, fully functional, stand-alone
charge management solution with a minimum number
of external components.

The MCP73861/3 is intended for applications utilizing
single-cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery
packs, while the MCP73862/4 is intended for dual
series cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery
packs. The MCP73861/3 has two selectable
voltage-regulation options available (4.1V and 4.2V),
for use with either coke or graphite anodes and operate
with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 12V. The
MCP73862/4 has two selectable voltage-regulation
options available (8.2V and 8.4V), for use with coke or
graphite anodes, and operate with an input voltage
range of 8.7V to 12V.
The MCP73861/2 and MCP73863/4 differ only in the
function of the charge status output (STAT1) when a
charge cycle has been completed. The MCP73861/2
flashes the output, while the MCP73863/4 turns the
output off. Refer to Section 5.2.1 “Charge Status
Outputs (STAT1, STAT2)”.
The MCP7386X family of devices are fully specified
over the ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP7386X family of devices are highly advanced
linear charge management controllers. Refer to the
functional block diagram. Figure 4-2 depicts the operational flow algorithm from charge initiation to
completion and automatic recharge.
4.1
Charge Qualification and
Preconditioning
Upon insertion of a battery, or application of an external
supply, the MCP7386X family of devices automatically
performs a series of safety checks to qualify the
charge. The input source voltage must be above the
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold, the enable
pin must be above the logic-high level and the cell
temperature must be within the upper and lower thresholds. The qualification parameters are continuously
monitored. Deviation beyond the limits automatically
suspends or terminates the charge cycle. The input
voltage must deviate below the UVLO stop threshold
for at least one clock period to be considered valid.
Once the qualification parameters have been met, the
MCP7386X initiates a charge cycle. The charge status
output is pulled low throughout the charge cycle (see
Table 5-1 for charge status outputs). If the battery
voltage is below the preconditioning threshold (VPTH),
the MCP7386X preconditions the battery with a
trickle-charge. The preconditioning current is set to
approximately 10% of the fast charge regulation
current. The preconditioning trickle-charge safely
replenishes deeply depleted cells and minimizes heat
dissipation during the initial charge cycle. If the battery
voltage has not exceeded the preconditioning threshold before the preconditioning timer has expired, a fault
is indicated and the charge cycle is terminated.
4.2
Constant Current Regulation –
Fast Charge
Preconditioning ends, and fast charging begins, when
the battery voltage exceeds the preconditioning
threshold. Fast charge regulates to a constant current
(IREG), which is set via an external resistor connected
to the PROG pin. Fast charge continues until the
battery voltage reaches the regulation voltage (VREG),
or the fast charge timer expires; in which case, a fault
is indicated and the charge cycle is terminated.
4.3
Constant Voltage Regulation
When the battery voltage reaches the regulation
voltage (VREG), constant voltage regulation begins.
The MCP7386X monitors the battery voltage at the
VBAT pin. This input is tied directly to the positive
terminal of the battery.
2004-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
The MCP7386X selects the voltage regulation value
based on the state of VSET. With VSET tied to VSS, the
MCP73861/3 and MCP73862/4 regulate to 4.1V and
8.2V, respectively. With VSET tied to VDD, the
MCP73861/3 and MCP73862/4 regulate to 4.2V and
8.4V, respectively.
4.4
Charge Cycle Completion and
Automatic Re-Charge
The MCP7386X monitors the charging current during
the Constant-voltage regulation mode. The charge
cycle is considered complete when the charge current
has diminished below approximately 8% of the
regulation current (IREG), or the elapsed timer has
expired.
The MCP7386X automatically begins a new charge
cycle when the battery voltage falls below the recharge
threshold (VRTH), assuming all the qualification
parameters are met.
4.5
Thermal Regulation
The MCP7386X family limits the charge current based
on the die temperature. Thermal regulation optimizes
the charge cycle time while maintaining device reliability. If thermal regulation is entered, the timer is automatically slowed down to ensure that a charge cycle will
not terminate prematurely. Figure 4-1 depicts the
thermal regulation profile.

4.6
Thermal Shutdown
The MCP7386X family suspends charge if the die
temperature exceeds 155°C. Charging will resume
when the die temperature has cooled by approximately
10°C. The thermal shutdown is a secondary safety
feature in the event that there is a failure within the
thermal regulation circuitry.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT INPUT
SUPPLY (VDD1, VDD2)
The VDD input is the input supply to the MCP7386X.
The MCP7386X automatically enters a Power-down
mode if the voltage on the VDD input falls below the
UVLO voltage (VSTOP). This feature prevents draining
the battery pack when the VDD supply is not present.
The VDD inputs should be tied to ground with a resistor
