the battery voltage. The bq24130 charges one, two or three cell (selected by CELL pin), supporting up to
4A charge current. The bq24130 is available in a 20-pin, 3.5×4.5 mm2 thin QFN package.
For details, see bq24130 data sheet (SLUSAN2).

Notes
The bq24130 EVM board requires a regulated supply approximately 1V minimum above the regulated
voltage of the battery pack to a maximum input voltage of 17 VDC. The bq24130 uses CELL pin to select
number of cells with a fixed 4.2V/cell. Connecting CELL to AGND gives 1 cell, floating CELL pin gives 2
cell configure, and connecting to VREF gives 3 cells configure. CELL pin adjusts internal resistor voltage
divider from BAT pin to AGND pin for voltage feedback and regulate to internal 2.1V voltage reference.
CELL Pin
Voltage Regulation
AGND
4.2V
Floating
8.4V
VREF
12.6V
The default setting is 12.6V for BAT voltage.
A low-level signal on the CMOD pin forces the IC to charge at the pre-charge rate set on the ISET2 pin. A
high-level signal forces charge at fast-charge rate as set by the ISET1 pin. If the battery reaches the
voltage regulation level, the IC transitions to voltage regulation phase regardless of the status of the
CMOD input.
The ISET1 input sets the maximum charging current. Battery current is sensed by current sensing resistor
RSR connected between SRP and SRN. The full-scale differential voltage between SRP and SRN is
40mV max. The equation for charge current is:
VISET1
ICHARG E =
20 ´ R7
(1)
The precharge current is determined by the voltage on the ISET2 pin according to the formula
VISET2
IPRECHARGE =
100 ´ R7
(2)
The default setting is 2ADC for fast charge current and 0.2ADC for pre-charge current.

PCB Laout Guideline
www.ti.com
3
PCB Laout Guideline
1. It is critical that the exposed thermal pad on the backside of the BQ24130 package be soldered to the
PCB ground. Make sure there are sufficient thermal vias right underneath the IC, connecting to the
ground plane on the other layers.
2. The control stage and the power stage should be routed separately. At each layer, the signal ground
and the power ground are connected only at the thermal pad.
3. Charge current sense resistor must be connected to SRP, SRN with a Kelvin contact. The area of this
loop must be minimized. The decoupling capacitors for these pins should be placed as close to the IC
as possible.
4. Decoupling capacitors for VREF, AVCC, REGN should make the interconnections to the IC as short as
possible.
5. Decoupling capacitors for BAT must be placed close to the corresponding IC pins and make the
interconnections to the IC as short as possible.
6. Decoupling capacitor(s) for the charger input must be placed very close to SW and PGND.
7. Take the EVM layout for design reference.

components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the
technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30
days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY
SELLER TO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user indemnifies TI from all
claims arising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to
take any and all appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services described herein.
Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the
product. This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s
environmental and/or safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh.
No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
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 18 V to 22 V and the output voltage range of 0 V to 18 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 60°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 125°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.
