Active-Semi FEATURES • ActivePathTM Li+ Charger with System Power Selection ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 Six Channel ActivePathTM Power Management IC GENERAL DESCRIPTION The patent-pending ACT8828 is a complete, cost effective, highly-efficient ActivePMUTM power management solution that is ideal for a wide range of high performance portable handheld applications such as personal navigation devices (PNDs). This device integrates the ActivePath complete battery charging and management system with four power supply channels. The ActivePath architecture automatically selects the best available input supply for the system. If the external input source is not present or the system load current is more than the input source can provide, the ActivePath supplies additional current from the battery to the system. The charger is a complete, thermallyregulated, stand-alone single-cell linear Li+ charger that incorporates an internal power MOSFET. REG1, REG2, and REG3 are three independent, fixed-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC converters that output 1.3A, 1.0A, and 0.55A, respectively. REG4 is a fixed-frequency, step-up DC/DC converter that safely and efficiently biases strings of up to 7 white-LEDs (up to a total of 21 LEDs) for display backlight applications. Finally, an I2C serial interface provides programmability for the DC/DC converters. The ACT8828 is available in a tiny 5mm × 5mm 40pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin. • Four Integrated Regulators: − 1.3A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 1.0A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 0.55A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 30V Step-Up DC/DC for up to 7s × 3p WLEDs • • • • I2CTM Serial Interface Minimal External Components Compatible with USB or AC-Adapter Charging 5×5mm, Thin-QFN (TQFN55-40) Package − Only 0.75mm Height − RoHS Compliant APPLICATIONS • Personal Navigation Devices • Portable Media Players • Smart Phones SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM CHG_IN CHGLEV DCCC ISET ACIN nSTAT nPBIN nIRQ nRSTO SCL SDA ON1 ON2 ON3 ON4 VSEL System Control Li+ Battery Programmable Up to 1A VSYS REG1 Step-Down DC/DC REG2 Step-Down DC/DC REG3 Step-Down DC/DC REG4 Step-Up DC/DC OUT1 Adjustable, or 0.8V to 4.4V Up to 1.3A OUT2 Adjustable, or 0.8V to 4.4V Up to 1.0A OUT3 Adjustable, or 0.8V to 4.4V Up to 0.55A OUT4 Up to 30V 7s x 3p WLEDs ActivePathTM & Single-Cell Li+ Battery Charger ACT8828 Active PMU TM Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM and ActivePathTM are trademarks of Active-Semi.

ActivePath is a complete battery-charging and system powermanagement solution for portable hand-held equipment. This circuitry performs a variety of advanced battery-management functions, including automatic selection of the best available input supply, current-management to ensure system power availability, and a complete, high-accuracy (±0.5%), thermally regulated, full-featured singlecell linear Li+ charger with an integrated 12V power MOSFET. ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER System Configuration Optimization ActivePath circuitry automatically detects the state of the input supply, the battery, and the system, and automatically reconfigures itself to optimize the power system. If the input supply is present, ActivePath powers the system in parallel with charging the battery, so that system power and charge current can be independently managed to satisfy all system power requirements. This allows the battery to charge as quickly as possible, while ensuring that the total system current does not exceed the capability of the input supply. If the input supply is not present, however, then ActivePath automatically configures the system to draw power from the battery. Finally, if the input is present and the system current requirement exceeds the capability of the input supply, such as under momentary peak-power consumption conditions, ActivePath automatically configures itself for maximum power capability by drawing system power from both the battery and the input supply. Battery Management Input Protection ActivePath includes a full-featured battery charger for single-cell Li-based batteries. This charger is a full-featured, intelligent, linear-mode, single-cell charger for Lithium-based cells, and was designed specifically to provide a complete charging solution with minimum system design effort. The core of the ActivePath's charger is a CC/CV (Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage), linear-mode charge controller. This controller incorporates current and voltage sense circuitry, an internal 80mΩ power MOSFET, a full-featured statemachine that implements charge control and safety features, and circuitry that eliminates the reverseblocking diode required by conventional charger designs. This charger also features thermal-regulation circuitry that protects it against excessive junction temperature, allowing the fastest possible charging times, as well as proprietary input protection circuitry that makes the charger robust against input voltage transients that can damage other chargers. The charge termination voltage is highly accurate (±0.5%), and features a selection of charge safety timeout periods that protect the system from operation with damaged cells. Other features include pin-programmable fast-charge current and - 41 www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2010 Active-Semi, Inc. ActivePath Architecture A ctive-semi's patent-pending A ctivePath architecture performs three important functions: 1) Input Protection, 2) System Configuration Optimization, and 3) Battery-Management At the input of the ACT8828's ActivePath circuit is an internal, low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) that regulates the system voltage (VSYS). This LDO features a 12V power MOSFET, allowing the ActivePath system to withstand input voltages of up to 12V, and additionally includes a variety of other protection features, including current limit protection and input over-voltage protection. The ActivePath circuitry provides a very simple means of implementing a solution that safely operates within the current-capability limitations of a USB port while taking advantage of the high outputcurrent capability of an AC adapter, when available. ActivePath limits the total current drawn from the input supply to a value set by the ACIN input; when ACIN is driven to a logic-low ActivePath operates in “USB Mode” and limits the current to either 500mA (when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high) or to 100mA (when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low), and when ACIN is driven to a logic-high ActivePath operates in “AC-Mode” and limits the input current to 2A. In either case, ActivePath's DCCC circuitry, described below, allows the input overload protection to be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of input supplies.

ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER the current programmed by RISET, ICHG = 1V/RISET × KISET (3) where KISET = 610 when CHGLEV is driven to a logic high, and K = 320 when CHGLEV is driven to a logic low. When ACIN is driven to a logic-low, the circuitry operates in “USB-Mode”, which maximum charge current setting of CHGLEV is driven to a logic-high, or CHGLEV is driven to a logic-low. The ACT8828's charge current summarized in the table below: Table 16: ACIN and CHGLEV Inputs Table ACIN CHGLEV CHARGE CURRENT ICHG (mA) 90mA or 12% ISET (Smallest one) 450mA or ISET (Smallest one) 50% × ISET ISET PRECONDITION CHARGE CURRENT ICHG (mA) 90mA or 12%ISET (Smallest one) 12% × ISET 12% × ISET 12% × ISET Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC) The ACT8828's ActivePath Charger features Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC) circuitry, which continuously monitors the input supply to prevent input overload conditions. DCCC reduces the charge current when the VSYS voltage decreases to VDCCC and stops charging when VSYS drops below VDCCC by 1.5% (typical). The DCCC voltage threshold is programmed by connecting a resistor from DCCC to GA according to the following equation: VDCCC = 2 × (IDCCC × RDCCC) (2) Where RDCCC is the value of the external resistor, and IDCCC (100µA typical) is the value of the current sourced from DCCC. Given the tolerances of the RDCCC and IDCCC, the DCCC voltage threshold should be programmed to be no less than 3.3V to prevent triggering the UVLO, and to be no larger than 4.4V to prevent engaging DCCC prematurely.

ActivePath enforces a 500mA, if 100mA, if are settings 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 Charger Current Programming The ACT8828's ActivePath charger features a flexible charge current-programming scheme that combines the convenience of internal charge current programming with the flexibility of resistor based charge current programming. Current limits and charge current programming are managed as a function of the ACIN and CHGLEV pins, in combination with RISET, the resistance connected to the ISET pin. ACIN and CHGLEV Inputs ACIN is a logic input that configures the current-limit of ActivePath's linear regulator as well as that of the battery charger. ACIN features a precise 1.25V logic threshold, so that the input voltage detection threshold may be adjusted with a simple resistive voltage divider. This input also allows a simple, lowcost dual-input charger switch to be implemented with just a few, low-cost components. When ACIN is driven to a logic high, the ActivePath operates in “AC-Mode” and the charger charges at Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM and ActivePathTM are trademarks of Active-Semi.

Note that the actual charging current may be limited to a current that is lower than the programmed fast charge current due to the ACT8828’s internal thermal regulation loop. See the Thermal Regulation and Protection section for more information. Battery Temperature Monitoring The ACT8828 continuously monitors the temperature of the battery pack by sensing the resistance of its thermistor, and suspends charging if the temperature of the battery pack exceeds the safety limits. In a typical application, shown in Figure 7, the TH pin is connected to the battery pack's thermistor input. The ACT8828 injects a 100µA current out of the TH pin into the thermistor, so that the thermistor resistance is monitored by comparing the voltage at TH to the internal VTHH and VTHL thresholds of 0.5V and 2.5V, respectively. When VTH > VTHL or VTH < VTHH charging and the charge timers are suspended. When VTH returns to the normal range, charging and the - 42 www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2010 Active-Semi, Inc. Active-Semi ActivePath FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D charge timers resume. The net resistance from TH to G required to cross the threshold is given by: 100µA × RNOM × kHOT = 0.5V → RNOM × kHOT = 5kΩ 100µA × RNOM × kCOLD = 2.5V → RNOM × kCOLD = 25kΩ where RNOM is the nominal thermistor resistance at room temperature, and kHOT and kCOLD are the ratios of the thermistor's resistance at the desired hot and cold thresholds, respectively. Figure 7: Simple Configuration ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER which follow a "curve 2" characteristic. For more information on these NTCs, as well as access to the resistance/temperature characteristic tables referred to in the example, please refer to the Vishay website at http://www.vishay.com/thermistors. Simple Solution The ACT8828 was designed to accommodate most requirements with very little design effort, but also provides flexibility when additional control over a design is required. Initial thermistor selection is accomplished by choosing one that best meets the following requirements: RNOM = 5kΩ/kHOT, and RNOM = 25kΩ/kCOLD where kHOT and kCOLD for a given thermistor can be found on its characteristic tables. Taking a 0°C to 40°C application using a "curve 2" NTC for this example, from the characteristic tables one finds that kHOT and kCOLD are 0.5758 and 2.816, respectively, and the RNOM that most closely satisfies these requirements is therefore around 8.8kΩ. Selecting 10kΩ as the nearest standard value, calculate kCOLD and kHOT as: kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 2.5 Design Procedure When designing with thermistors it is important to keep in mind that their nonlinear behavior typically allows one to directly control no more than one threshold at a time. As a result, the design procedure can change depending on which threshold is most critical for a given application. Most application requirements can be solved using one of three cases, 1) Simple solution 2) Fix VTHH, accept the resulting VTHL 3) Fix VTHL, accept the resulting VTHH The ACT8828 was designed to achieve an operating temperature range that is suitable for most applications with very little design effort. The simple solution is often found to provide reasonable results and should always be used first, then the design procedure may proceed to one of the other solutions if necessary. In each design example, we refer to the Vishay NTHS series of NTCs, and more specifically those Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM and ActivePathTM are trademarks of Active-Semi. I2CTM is a trademark of Philips Electronics. kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 10kΩ) = 0.5 Identifying these values on the curve 2 characteristic tables indicates that the resulting operating temperature range is 2°C to 44°C, vs. the design goal of 0°C to 40°C. This example demonstrates that one can satisfy common operating temperature ranges with very little design effort. Fix VTHH For demonstration purposes, supposing that we had selected the next closest standard thermistor value of 6.8kΩ in the example above, we would have obtained the following results: kCOLD = VTHL/(ITH × RNOM) = 2.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 3.67 kHOT = VTHH/(ITH × RNOM) = 0.5V/(100µA × 6.8kΩ) = 0.74 which, according to the characteristic tables would have resulted in an operating temperature range of -6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to 40°C. In this case, one can add resistance in series with the thermistor to shift the range upwards, using the - 43 www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2010 Active-Semi, Inc. Active-Semi ActivePath FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D following equation: (VTHH/ITH) = kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM + R R = (VTHH/ITH) - kHOT(@40°C) × RNOM R = (2.5V/100µA) - 0.5758 × 6.8kΩ Finally, R = 5kΩ - 3.9kΩ = 1.1kΩ This result shows that adding 1.1kΩ in series with the thermistor sets the net resistance from TH to G to be 0.5V at 40°C, satisfying VTHH at the correct temperature. Adding this resistance, however, also impacts the lower temperature limit as follows: VTHL/ITH = kCOLD(@TC) × RNOM + R kCOLD(@TC) = (VTHL/ITH) - R)/RNOM Finally, kCOLD(@TC) = (25kΩ - 1.1kΩ)/6.8kΩ = 3.51 Reviewing the characteristic curves, the lower threshold is found to move to -5°C, a change of only 1°C. As a result, the system satisfies the upper threshold of 40°C with an operating temperature range of -5°C to 40°C, vs. our design target of 0°C to 40°C. It is informative to highlight that due to the ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER NTC behavior of the thermistor, the relative impact on the lower threshold is significantly smaller than the impact on the upper threshold. Fix VTHL Following the same example as above, the "unadjusted" results yield an operating temperature range of -6°C to 33°C vs. the design goal of 0°C to 40°C. In applications that favor VTHL over VTHH, however, one can control the voltage present at TH at low temperatures by connecting a resistor in parallel with ITH. The desired resistance can be found using the following equation: (ITH + (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/R) × kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM = VTHL Rearranging yields R = (VCHG_IN - VTHL)/(VTHL/(kCOLD(@0°C) × RNOM) - ITH) R = (5V - 2.5V)/(2.5V/(2.816 × 6.8kΩ) - 100µA) R = 82kΩ Adding 82kΩ in parallel with the current source increases the net current flowing into the thermistor, thus increasing the voltage at TH. Adding this resistance, however, also impacts the upper temperature limit: Figure 8: Fix VTHH Configuration Figure 9: Fix VTHL Configuration Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM and ActivePathTM are trademarks of Active-Semi.

Adding the parallel resistance has allowed us to achieve our desired lower threshold of 0°C with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 45°C, vs. our design target of 0°C to 40°C. ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER Charging Status Indication The ACT8828 provides one charge-status output, nSTAT which indicates charge status as defined in Table 17. nSTAT is open-drain output with internal 5mA current limits, which sinks current when asserted and are high-Z otherwise, and is capable of directly driving LED without the need of currentlimiting resistor or other external circuitry. To drive an LED, simply connect the LED between nSTAT pin and an appropriate supply (typically VSYS). For a logic level indication, simply connect a resistor from nSTAT to a appropriate voltage supply. Table 17: Charging Status Indication Table STATE Charging Not Changing Input Floating Fault Thermal Regulation The ACT8828's ActivePath charger features an internal thermal regulation loop that reduces the charging current as necessary to ensure that the die temperature does not rise beyond the thermal regulation threshold of 110°C. This feature protects the against excessive junction temperature and makes the device more accommodating to aggressive thermal designs. Note, however, that attention to good thermal designs is required to achieve the fastest possible charge time by maximizing charge current. In order to account for the reduced charge current resulting from operation in thermal regulation mode, the charge timeout periods are extended proportionally to the reduction in charge current. nSTAT ON OFF OFF OFF Input Supply Detection The ACT8828's ActivePath charger is capable of withstanding voltages of up to 12V, protecting the system from fault conditions such as input voltage transients or application of an incorrect input supply. Although the ACT8828 can withstand a wide range of input voltages, valid input voltages for charging must be greater than the under-voltage lockout voltage (UVLO) and the over-voltage protection (OVP) thresholds, as described below. Under Voltage Lock Output (UVLO) Whenever the input voltage applied to CHG_IN falls below 3.8V (typ), an input under-voltage condition is detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input under-voltage condition is detected, the input must exceed the under-voltage threshold by at least 800mV for charging to resume. Over Voltage Protection (OVP) If the charger detects that the voltage applied to CHG_IN exceeds 6.5V (typ), an over-voltage condition is detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input over-voltage condition is detected, Charging Safety Timers The ACT8828 features a safety timer that is programmable via an external resistor (RBTR) connected from BTR to GA. The timeout period is calculated as a function of this resistor by the following equation: tCHG = KBTR × RBTR, where KBTR = 0.24s/Ω. If the timeout period expires prior to charge termination, the charger is disabled and the nSTAT pin signal a fault condition. If the ACT8828 detects that the charger remains in precondition for longer than the precondition time out period (which determined as tCHG/3), the ACT8828 turns off the charger and generate a FAULT to ensure prevent charging a bad cell.

ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER FAULT State. See the Charging Safety Times section for more information. TOP-OFF State In the TOP-OFF state, the cell is charged in constant-voltage (CV) mode. Charge current decreases as charging continues. During a normal charging cycle charging proceeds until the charge current decreases below the End-Of-Charge (EOC) threshold, defined as 10% of ISET (ACIN = 1) or 5% of ISET (ACIN = 0) . When this happens, the state machine terminates the charge cycle and jumps to the SLEEP state. End of Charge State In the End-of-Charge (EOC) state, the ACT8828 presents a high-impedance to the battery, allowing the cell to “relax” and minimizes battery leakage current. The ACT8828 continues to monitor the cell voltage, however, so that it can re-initiate charging cycles as necessary to ensure that the cell remains fully charged. SUSPEND State The ACT8828 features an user-selectable suspendcharge mode, which disables the charger but keeps other circuiting functional. The charger can be put into suspend mode by driving EN to logic low. Upon exiting the SUSPEND State, the charge timer is reset and the state machine jumps to PRECONDITION state. SLEEP State In SLEEP mode the ACT8828 presents a highimpedance to the battery, allowing the cell to “relax” and minimizes battery leakage current. The ACT8828 continues to monitor the cell voltage, however, so that it can re-initiate charging as necessary to ensure that the cell remains fully charged. Under normal operation, the state machine initiates a new charging cycle by jumping to the FAST-CHARGE state when VBAT drops below the Charge Termination Threshold. Reverse Leakage Current The ACT8828's ActivePath charger includes internal circuitry that eliminates the need for blocking diodes, reducing solution size and cost as well as dropout voltage relative to conventional battery chargers. When the voltage at CHG_IN falls below VBAT, the charger automatically reconfigures its power switch to minimize current drain from the battery Charger State-Machine PRECONDITION State A new charging cycle begins with the PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition Threshold Voltage of 2.87V (typ). When operating in PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at a reduced current, 12% of the programmed maximum fast-charge constant current, ISET. Once VBAT reaches the Precondition Threshold Voltage the state machine jumps to the NORMAL state. If VBAT does not reach the Precondition Threshold Voltage before the Precondition Timeout period tPRECONDITION expires, then a damaged cell is detected and the state machine jumps to the TIMEOUT-FAULT State. For the Precondition Timeout period, see the Charging Safety Timers section for more information. FAST CHARGE State Normal state is made up of two operating modes, fast charge Constant-Current (CC) and ConstantVoltage (CV). In CC mode, the ACT8828 charges at the current programmed by RISET (see the Current Limits and Charge Current Programming section for more information). During a normal charge cycle fast-charge continues in CC mode until VBAT reaches the charge termination voltage (VTERM), at which point the ACT8828 charges in CV mode. Charging continues in CV mode until the charge current drops to 10% (ACIN = 1) or 5% (ACIN = 0) of the programmed maximum charge current, at which point the state machine jumps to the TOPOFF state. If VBAT does not proceed out of the NORMAL state before the Normal Timeout period (TNORMAL) expires, then a damaged cell is detected and the state machine jumps to the TIMEOUT- CHG_IN Bypass Capacitor Selection CHG_IN is the power input for the ACT8828 battery charger. The battery charger is automatically enabled whenever a valid voltage is present on CHG_IN. In most applications, CHG_IN is connected to either a wall adapter or USB port. - 47 www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2010 Active-Semi, Inc.

In most applications a high quality capacitor connected from CHG_IN to GA, placed as close as possible to the IC, is sufficient to absorb the energy. Wall-adapter powered applications provide flexibility in input capacitor selection, but the USB specification presents limitations to input capacitance selection. In order to meet both the USB 2.0 and USB OTG (On The Go) specifications while avoiding USB supply under-voltage conditions resulting from the current limit slew rate (100mA/µS) limitations of the USB bus, the CHG_IN bypass capacitance value must to be between 4.7µF and 10µF for the ACT8828. Ceramic capacitors are often preferred for bypassing applications due to their small size and good surge current ratings, but care must be taken in applications that can encounter hot plug conditions as their very low ESR, in combination with the inductance of the cable, can create a high- ACT8828 Rev 6, 09-Jun-10 TM CHARGER Q filter that induces excessive ringing at the CHG_IN pin. This ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability, or the ringing may be large enough to damage the input itself. Although the CHG_IN pin is designed for maximum robustness and an absolute maximum voltage rating of 14V for transients, attention must be given to bypass techniques to ensure safe operation. As a result, design of the CHG_IN bypass must take care to “de-Q” the filter. This can be accomplished by connecting a 1Ω resistor in series with a ceramic capacitor (as shown in Figure 12), or by using a tantalum or electrolytic capacitor to utilize it’s higher ESR to dampen the ringing. For additional protection in extreme situations, Zener diodes with 12V clamp voltages may also be used. In any case, it is always critical to evaluate voltage transients at the ACT8828 CHG_IN pin with an oscilloscope to ensure safe operation.
