bq24080 1-A, Single-Cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer Charge
Management IC EVM
1
Introduction
This user's guide describes the bq24080 evaluation module (EVM). The EVM provides a convenient
method for evaluating the performance of a charge management solution for portable applications. A
complete designed and tested charger is presented. The charger is designed to deliver up to 1 A of
continuous charge current for single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer applications using a dc power supply. The
charger is programmed from the factory to deliver 0.7 A of charging current.
1.1
Background
The bq24080 is a highly integrated and flexible Li-ion linear charge and system power management
device targeted at space-limited charger applications. The bq24080 IC offers integrated power FET and
current sensor, high-accuracy current and voltage regulation, charge status, and charge termination, in a
single monolithic device. An external resistor sets the magnitude of the charge current. The bq24080
charges the battery in three phases: conditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. Charge is
terminated based on minimum current. An internal charge timer provides a backup safety for charge
termination. The bq24080 automatically restarts the charge if the battery voltage falls below an internal
threshold. The bq24080 automatically enters sleep mode when the input is removed.

This input voltage maximum is a function of the maximum allowable power dissipation on the device. The current level is
programmed for 0.7 A. If the programmed charge is changed, then the maximum input voltage needs to be adjusted.
PMAX(IC) = 1.5 W = ICHG (V(DC+) - V(BAT+)). The device has a maximum recommended operation of 6.5 Vdc.
Test Summary
This section shows the test setups used and the tests performed in evaluating the EVM. See the bq24080
data sheet (SLUS698) for complete details regarding the operation and specifications.
2.1
Test Setup
The bq24080EVM board requires a regulated 5-Vdc, 1-A power source to provide input power and a
single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery pack.
The test setup connections and jumper setting selections are configured for a stand-alone evaluation but
can be changed to interface with external hardware such as a microcontroller.

Test Procedures
Set up the evaluation board as previously described by making the necessary I/O connections and jumper
selections. Prior to test and evaluation, it is important to verify that the maximum power dissipation on the
device is not exceeded: PMAX = 1.5 W.

1. Turn on the power supply, which is preset to 5 Vdc, and 1 A for the current limit setting.
2. The bq24080 enters preconditioning mode if the battery is below the V(LOWV) threshold. In this mode,
the bq24080 precharges the battery with a low current, typically

until the battery voltage reaches the V(LOWV) threshold or until the precharge timer expires. If the
timer expires, then the charge current is terminated and the bq24080 enters fault mode. Both LEDs
turn off when in fault mode. Toggling input power or battery replacement resets fault mode. Note that
there are several fault conditions. They are described in the data sheet (SLUS698).
Once the battery voltage is above the V(LOWV) threshold, the battery enters fast-charge mode. This
EVM is programmed for 0.7 A of fast-charging current.
Once the battery reaches voltage regulation (4.2 V), the current tapers down as the battery reaches its
full capacity.
When the current reaches the taper termination threshold, the charge current terminates.
After termination, if the battery discharges down to the recharge threshold, the charger starts fast
charging.
An alternative method of testing the EVM is with a source meter, that can sink or source current. This can
be adjusted to test each mode, in place of a battery.
Another alternative to view each mode, on a scope, is to connect a 1000-µF or larger capacitor and a
parallel 10-kΩ resistor on the output in place of a battery to observe the charging cycling.
2.3
Alternative Test Procedure
The following is a test procedure to verify charging states without the need for a battery or expensive test
equipment.
2.3.1
Equipment
The procedure used to evaluate the EVM assembly with a few basic functions of the device is as follows:
1. Power source: current limited 5-V laboratory supply with its current limit set to 1 A ±0.1 A
2. Two Fluke 75 multimeters, equivalent or better.
3. Load test board as shown in Figure 1.

Equipment Setup
Connect the load board to the BAT+ and BAT-. Set switches SW1 to Closed, SW3 to Open, and SW2
to Off (center).
Connect a voltage meter, DMM1, to the J5-BAT+/BAT- output to monitor the output voltage (range is 0
V to 5 V).
Set the laboratory supply for 5.1 V ±0.1 Vdc, 1 A ±0.1 A current limit, and then turn off supply. Connect
the laboratory supply to J1.
Connect DVM2 across R8 to monitor the current (R8 should be a 1% or better resistor if it is used for
current measurements.)
Shunt jumpers should be installed on the LED header pins, JMP1-1/2, JMP2-1/2, and JMP3-1/2. For
the CE header pins, JMP4 should have the shunt on just one pin (not shorted).
Procedure
Ensure that Equipment Setup steps are followed (SW1–closed, SW2 and SW3–Open, shunts installed
as per the preceding step 5, test board connected, and power source set to 5.1 V ±0.1 Vdc). Turn on
the power source.
Verify output voltage, BAT+, is between 2.5 Vdc to 2.95 Vdc, and the red LED (D1) and green LEDs
(D2 and D3) are lit.
Place shunt jumper on JMP3-1/2, and verify that charging stops (DMM2 < 0.5 mV). Remove the shunt
short (place on one pin), and verify that the output voltage, BAT+, is between 2.5 Vdc and 2.95 Vdc.
Close switch SW3 and open switch SW1. Verify LED (D2) is off and the output voltage, BAT+,
regulates between 4.16 Vdc and 4.24 Vdc.
Close switch SW2 (to position 1 Ω–5 Ω), and verify that output voltage, BAT+, is between 3.1 Vdc and
3.5 Vdc. Note: If output drops below 3 V and remains there, the input may be dropping below 4.9 V
momentarily. Add the input capacitance necessary to the source, to keep the input in compliance.
Verify that the charging current is between 0.6 A and 0.8 A (DMM2 is between 60 mVdc and 80
mVdc).
Open switch SW3, set switch SW2 to Off, and verify that the LEDs, D1 and D2, alternate being lit.
If all tests pass, EVM has been assembled correctly.
Turn off the J1 power source and disconnect UUT.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of VREG + 0.5 V to 5.2 V and the output voltage range of 0 V to
4.2 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 70°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 70°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
