8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The BQ24160/BQ24160A/BQ24161/BQ24161B/BQ24163/BQ24168 devices are highly integrated single-cell
Li-Ion battery chargers and system power path management devices targeted for space-limited, portable
applications with high-capacity batteries. The dual-input, single-cell charger operates from either a USB port
or alternate power source (that is, wall adapter or wireless power input) for a versatile solution.
The power path management feature allows the BQ2416xx to power the system from a high-efficiency DC-DC
converter while simultaneously and independently charging the battery. The charger monitors the battery current
at all times and reduces the charge current when the system load requires current above the input current
limit. This allows proper charge termination and enables the system to run with a defective or absent battery
pack. Additionally, this enables instant system turnon even with a totally discharged battery or no battery. The
power-path management architecture also permits the battery to supplement the system current requirements
when the adapter cannot deliver the peak system currents. This enables the use of a smaller adapter. The 2.5-A
current capability allows for GSM phone calls as soon as the adapter is plugged in regardless of the battery
voltage. The charge parameters are programmable using the I2C interface.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Charge Mode Operation
8.3.1.1 Charge Profile
The internal battery MOSFET is used to charge the battery. When the battery is above the MINSYS voltage, the
internal FET is on to maximize efficiency and the PWM converter regulates the charge current into the battery.
When battery is less than MINSYS, the SYS is regulated to VSYS(REG) and battery is charged using the battery
FET to regulate the charge current. There are 5 loops that influence the charge current:
• Constant current loop (CC)
• Constant voltage loop (CV)
• Thermal-regulation loop
• Minimum system-voltage loop (MINSYS)
• Input-voltage dynamic power-management loop (VIN-DPM)
During the charging process, all five loops are enabled and the one that is dominant takes control. The
BQ2416xx supports a precision Li-ion or Li-polymer charging system for single-cell applications. The Dynamic
Power Path Management (DPPM) feature regulates the system voltage to a minimum of VMINSYS, so that startup
is enabled even for a missing or deeply discharged battery. Figure 8-1 shows a typical charge profile including
the minimum system output voltage feature.

Figure 8-1. Typical BQ2416xx Charging Profile
8.3.1.2 PWM Controller in Charge Mode
The BQ2416xx provides an integrated, fixed-frequency 1.5-MHz voltage-mode controller to power the system
and supply the charge current. The voltage loop is internally compensated and provides enough phase margin
for stable operation, allowing the use of small ceramic capacitors with low ESR. When starting up, the BQ2416xx
uses a "soft-start" function to help limit inrush current. When coming out of High Impedance mode, the
BQ2416xx starts up with the input current limit set to 40% of the value programmed in the I2C register. After 80
ms, the input current limit threshold steps up in 256-µs steps. The steps are 40% to 50%, then 50% to 60%, then
60% to 70%, then 70% to 80%, and finally 80% to 100%. After the final step, soft start is complete and will not be
restarted until the BQ2416xx enters High Impedance mode.

SLUSAO0H – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED JULY 2022
The input scheme for the BQ2416xx prevents battery discharge when the supply voltages are lower than VBAT
and also isolates the two inputs from each other. The high-side N-MOSFET (Q1/Q2) switches to control the
power delivered to the output. The DRV LDO provides a supply for the gate drive for the low side MOSFET,
while a bootstrap circuit (BST) with an external bootstrap capacitor is used to boost up the gate drive voltage for
Q1 and Q2.
Both inputs are protected by a cycle-by-cycle current limit that is sensed through the high-side MOSFETs for Q1
and Q2. The threshold for the current limit is set to a nominal 5-A peak current. The inputs also utilize an input
current limit that limits the current from the power source.
8.3.2 Battery Charging Process
Assuming a vaild input source is attached to IN or USB, as soon as a deeply discharged or shorted battery is
attached to the BAT pin, (VBAT < VBATSHRT), the BQ2416xx applies IBATSHRT to close the pack protector switch
and bring the battery voltage up to acceptable charging levels. During this time, the battery FET is linearly
regulated and the system output is regulated to VSYS(REG). Once the battery rises above VBATSHRT, the charge
current is regulated to the value set in the I2C register. The battery FET is linearly regulated to maintain the
system voltage at VSYS(REG). Under normal conditions, the time spent in this region is a very short percentage
of the total charging time, so the linear regulation of the charge current does not affect the overall charging
efficiency for very long. If the die temperature does rise, the thermal regulation circuit reduces the charge current
to maintain a die temperature less than 120°C. If the current limit for the SYS output is reached (limited by
the input current limit, or VIN_DPM), the SYS output drops to the VMINSYS output voltage. When this happens,
the charge current is reduced to provide the system with all the current that is needed while maintaining the
minimum system voltage. If the charge current is reduced to 0mA, pulling further current from SYS causes the
output to fall to the battery voltage and enter supplement mode. (See the Dynamic Power Path Management
section for more details.)
Once the battery is charged enough so that the system voltage begins to rise above VSYS(REG), the battery FET
is turned on fully and the battery is charged with the full programmed charge current set by the I2C interface,
ICHARGE. The slew rate for the fast-charge current is controlled to minimize current and voltage overshoot during
transients. The charge current is regulated to ICHARGE until the battery is charged to the regulation voltage. As
the battery voltage rises above VRCH, the battery regulation loop is activated. This may result in a small step
down in the charge current as the loops transition between the charge current and charge voltage loops. As the
battery voltage charges up to the regulation voltage, VBATREG, the charge current is tapered down as shown in
Figure 8-1 while the SYS output remains connected to the battery. The voltage between the BAT and PGND pins
is regulated to VBATREG. The BQ2416xx is a fixed single-cell voltage version, with adjustable regulation voltage
(3.5 V to 4.44 V), programmed using the I2C interface.
The BQ2416xx monitors the charging current during the voltage-regulation phase. If the battery voltage is above
the recharge threshold and the charge current has naturally tapered down to and remains below termination
threshold, ITERM, (without disturbance from events like supplement mode) for 32 ms, the charger terminates
charge, turns off the battery charging FET and enters battery detection. Termination is disabled when the charge
current is reduced by a loop other than the voltage regulation loop or the input current limit is set to 100 mA.
For example, when the BQ2416xx is in half charge due to TS function, reverse boost protection is active,
LOW_CHG bit is set, or the thermal regulation, VINDPM or input current loops are active, termination will not
occur. This prevents false termination events. During termination, the system output is regulated to the VSYS(REG)
and supports the full current available from the input and the battery supplement mode is available. (See the
Dynamic Power Path Management section for more details.) The termination current level is programmable.
When setting the termination threshold less than 150mA, the reverse boost protection may trip falsely with load
transients and very fully charged batteries. This will prevent termination while in the reverse boost protection and
may extend charge time. To disable the charge current termination, the host sets the charge termination bit (TE)
of charge control register to 0, refer to I2C section for details.
A new charge cycle is initiated if CD is low when either
1. VSUPPLY rises above UVLO while a battery with VBAT < VBATREG - VRCH is attached or
2. a battery with VBAT < VBATREG - VRCH is attached while VSUPPLY is above UVLO.

conditions is detected:

4.
The battery voltage falls below the VBAT(REG)-VRCH threshold.

Supplement mode event occurs
CD pin or HI-Z bit toggle
VBAT(REG) should never be programmed less than VBAT. If the battery is ever 5% above the regulation threshold,
the battery OVP circuit shuts the PWM converter off immediately and the battery FET is turned on to discharge
the battery to safe operating levels. If the battery OVP condition exists for the 1ms deglitch, a battery OVP fault
is reported in the I2C status registers. The battery OVP fault is cleared when the battery voltage discharges
below VRCH or if the IC enters hi-impedance mode (HZ_MODE=1 or CD=1). Always write BQ2416xx to high
impedance mode before changing VBATREG to clear BOVP condition to ensure proper operation.
If the battery voltage is ever greater than VBATREG (for example, when an almost fully charged battery enters
the JEITA WARM state due to the TS pin) but less than VBOVP, the reverse boost protection circuitry may
activate as explained later in this data sheet. If the battery is ever above VBOVP, the buck converter turns off and
the internal battery FET is turned on. This prevents further overcharging of the battery and allows the battery
to discharge to safe operating levels. The battery OVP event does not clear until the battery voltage falls below
VRCH.
8.3.3 Battery Detection
When termination conditions are met, a battery detection cycle is started. During battery detection, IDETECT
is pulled from VBAT for tDETECT to verify there is a battery. If the battery voltage remains above VDETECT for
the full duration of tDETECT, a battery is determined to present and the IC enters “Charge Done”. If VBAT falls
below VDETECT, a “Battery Not Present” fault is signaled and battery detection continues. The next cycle of
battery detection, the BQ2416xx turns on IBATSHORT for tDETECT. If VBAT rises to VDETECT, the current source is
turned offand after tDETECT, the battery detection continues through another current sink cycle. Battery detection
continues until charge is disabled or a battery is detected. Once a battery is detected, the fault status clears and
a new charge cycle begins. Battery detection is not run when termination is disabled.
8.3.4 Dynamic Power Path Management (DPPM)
The BQ2416xx features a SYS output that powers the external system load connected to the battery. This output
is active whenever a source is connected to IN, USB or BAT. The following sections discuss the behavior of SYS
with a source connected to the supply or a battery source only.
8.3.5 Input Source Connected
When a valid input source is connected to IN or USB and the BQ2416xx is NOT in High Impedance mode, the
buck converter enters soft-start and turns on to power the load on SYS. The STAT/INT pin outputs a 128-µs
interrupt pulse to alert the host that an input has been connected. The FAULT bits indicate a normal condition,
and the Supply Status register indicates that a new supply is connected. The CE bit (bit 1) in the control register
(0x02) indicates whether a charge cycle is initiated. By default, the BQ2416xx ( CE = 0) enables a charge cycle
when a valid input source is connected. When the CE bit is '1' and a valid input source is connected, the battery
FET is turned off and the SYS output is regulated to the VSYS(REG) programmed by the VBATREG threshold in the
I2C register. A charge cycle is initiated when the CE bit is written to a 0 value (cleared).
When the CE bit is a 0 and a valid source is connected to IN or USB, the buck converter starts up using
soft-start. A charge cycle is initiated 64 ms after the buck converter iniates startup. When VBAT is high enough
that VSYS > VSYS(REG), the battery FET is turned on and the SYS output is connected to BAT. If the SYS voltage
falls to VSYS(REG), it is regulated to that point to maintain the system output even with a deeply discharged or
absent battery. In this mode, the SYS output voltage is regulated by the buck converter and the battery FET
linearly regulates the charge current into the battery. The current from the supply is shared between charging
the battery and powering the system load at SYS. The dynamic power-path management (DPPM) circuitry of
the BQ2416xx monitors the current limits continuously, and if the SYS voltage falls to the VMINSYS voltage, it
adjusts charge current to maintain the minimum system voltage and supply the load on SYS. If the charge

current is reduced to zero and the load increases further, the BQ2416xx enters battery-supplement mode. During
supplement mode, the battery FET is turned on and the battery supplements the system load.
When an input is connected with no battery attached and termination enabled, the startup process proceeds as
normal until the termination deglitch times out. After this, the BQ2416xx enters battery detection and waits for a
battery to be connected. Once a battery is connected and passes battery detection, a new charge cycle begins.
Once the battery is applied, the HZMODE bit or CD pin must be toggled before writing the BATREG to a higher
voltage and beginning a new charge cycle. Failure to do this can result in SYS unexpectedly regulating to 15%
above VBATREG.

8.3.6 Battery Only Connected
When a battery with voltage greater than VBATUVLO is connected with no input source, the battery FET is turned
on similar to supplement mode. In this mode, the current is not regulated; however, there is a short circuit
current limit. If the short circuit limit is reached, the battery FET is turned off for the deglitch time (tDGL(SC1)).
After the recovery time (tREC(SC1)), the battery FET is turned on to test and see if the short has been removed.
If it has not, the FET turns off and the process repeats until the short is removed. This process is to protect
the internal FET from over current. If an external FET is used for discharge, the external FET's body diode
prevents the load on SYS from being disconnected from the battery. If the battery voltage is less than VBATUVLO,
the internal battery FET (Q4) remains off and BAT is high-impedance. This prevents further discharging of
deeply-discharged batteries.
8.3.7 Battery Discharge FET (BGATE)
The BQ2416xx contains a MOSFET driver to drive the gate of an external discharge FET between the battery
and the system output. This external FET provides a low impedance path when supplying the system from
the battery. Connect BGATE to the gate of the external discharge MOSFET. BGATE is on under the following
conditions:
1. No input supply connected.

2. HZ_MODE bit = 1
3. CD pin = 1
8.3.8 DEFAULT Mode
DEFAULT mode is used when I2C communication is not available. DEFAULT mode is entered in the following
situations:
1. When the charger is enabled and VBAT< VBATGD before I2C communication is established
2. When the watchdog timer expires without a reset from the I2C interface and the safety timer has not expired.
3. When the device comes out of any fault condition (sleep mode, OVP, faulty adapter mode, etc.) before I2C
communication is established
In DEFAULT mode, the I2C registers are reset to the default values. The 27-minute safety timer (no timer for
BQ24168) is reset and starts when DEFAULT mode is entered. The default value for VBATREG is 3.6 V, and
the default value for ICHARGE is 1 A. The input current limit for the IN input is set to 1.5 A. The input current
limit for the USB input is determined by the D+/D– detection (BQ24160/3) or PSEL (BQ24161/1B/8). PSEL and
D+/D– detection have no effect on the IN input. Default mode is exited by programming the I2C interface. Once
I2C communication is established, PSEL has no effect on the USB input. Note that if termination is enabled and
charging has terminated, a new charge cycle is NOT initiated when entering DEFAULT mode.
8.3.9 Safety Timer and Watchdog Timer (BQ24160/BQ24161/BQ24161B/BQ24163 only)
At the beginning of charging process, the BQ24160/1/1B/3 starts the safety timer. This timer is active during the
entire charging process. If charging has not terminated before the safety timer expires, charging is disabled, the
charge parameters are reset to the default values and the CE bit is written to a “1”. The length of the safety timer
is selectable using the I2C interface. A single 128-μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx
bits of the status registers are updated in the I2C. In DEFAULT mode, the safety timer can be reset and a new
charge cycle initiated by input supply power on reset, removing/inserting battery or toggling the CD pin. In HOST
mode, the CE bit is set to a '1' when the safety timer expires. The CE bit must be cleared to a '0' in order to
resume charging and clear the safety timer fault. The safety timer duration is selectable using the TMR_X bits in
the Safety Timer Register/ NTC Monitor register. Changing the safety timer duration resets the safety timer. This
function prevents continuous charging of a defective battery. During the fast charge (CC) phase, several events
increase the timer duration by 2× if the EN_2X_TMR bit is set in the register.

The system load current reduces the available charging current.
The input current needed for the fast charge current is limited by the input current loop.
The input current is reduced because the VINDPM loop is preventing the supply from crashing.
The device has entered thermal regulation because the IC junction temperature has exceeded TJ(REG).
The LOW_CHG bit is set.
The battery voltage is less than VBATSHORT.
The battery has entered the JEITA WARM or COLD state via the TS pin
During these events, the timer is slowed by half to extend the timer and prevent any false timer faults. Starting a
new charge cycle by VSUPPLY POR or removing/replacing the battery or resuming a charge by toggling the CE
or HZ_MODE bits, resets the safety timer. Additionally, thermal shutdown events cause the safety timer to reset.
In addition to the safety timer, the BQ24160/1/1B/3 contain a watchdog timer that monitors the host through the
I2C interface. Once a read/write is performed on the I2C interface, a 30-second timer (tWATCHDOG) is started.
The 30-second timer is reset by the host using the I2C interface. This is done by writing a “1” to the reset bit
(TMR_RST) in the control register. The TMR_RST bit is automatically set to “0” when the 30-second timer is
reset. This process continues until the battery is fully charged or the safety timer expires. If the 30-second timer
expires, the IC enters DEFAULT mode where the default register values are loaded, the safety timer restarts at
27 minutes and charging continues. The I2C may be accessed again to reinitialize the desired values and restart
the watchdog timer. The watchdog timer flow chart is shown in Figure 8-3.

8.3.10 D+, D– Based Adapter Detection for the USB Input (D+, D–, BQ24160/0A/3)
The BQ24160/0A/3 contain a D+, D– based adapter detection circuit that is used to program the input current
limit for the USB input during DEFAULT mode. D+, D– detection is only performed in DEFAULT mode unless
forced by the D+, D–_EN bit in host mode. Writing to register 2 during detection stops the detection routine.
By default the USB input current limit is set to 100 mA. When a voltage higher than UVLO is applied to the
USB input, the BQ24160/0A/3 performs a charger source identification to determine if it is connected to an SDP
(USB port) or CDP/DCP (dedicated charger). The first step is D+, D- line connection detection as described in
BC1.2. Primary detection begins 10 ms after the connection detection complete. The primary detection complies
with the method described in BC1.2. During primary detection, the D+, D- lines are tested to determine if the
port is an SDP or CDP/DCP. If a CDP/DCP is detected the input current limit is increased to 1.5 A, if an SDP
is detected the current limit remains at 100 mA, until changed via the I2C interface. These two steps require at
least 90 ms to complete but if they have not completed within 500 ms, the D+, D- detection routine selects 100
mA for the unknown input source. Secondary detection as described in BC1.2 is not performed.
Automatic detection is performed only if VD+ and VD– are less than 0.6 V to avoid interfering with the USB
transceiver which may also perform D+, D– detection when the system is running normally. However, D+, D–
can be initiated at any time by the host by setting the D+, D– EN bit in the Control/Battery Voltage Register

to 1. After detection is complete the D+, D– EN bit is automatically reset to 0 and the detection circuitry is
disconnected from the D+, D– pins to avoid interference with USB data transfer.
When a command is written to change the input current limit in the I2C, this overrides the current limit selected
by D+/D– detection. D+, D– detection has no effect on the IN input.
8.3.11 USB Input Current Limit Selector Input (PSEL, BQ24161/161B/168 only)
The BQ24161, BQ24161B, and BQ24168 contain a PSEL input that is used to program the input current limit for
USB during DEFAULT mode. Drive PSEL high to indicate that a USB source is connected to the USB input and
program the 100 mA (BQ24161/8) or 500 mA (BQ24161B) current limit for USB. Drive PSEL low to indicate that
an AC adapter is connected to the USB input. When PSEL is low, the IC starts up with a 1.5-A current limit for
USB. PSEL has no effect on the IN input. Once an I2C write is done, the PSEL has no effect on the input current
limit until the watchdog timer expires.
8.3.12 Hardware Chip Disable Input (CD)
The BQ2416xx contains a CD input that is used to disable the IC and place the BQ2416xx into high-impedance
mode. Drive CD low to enable charge and enter normal operation. Drive CD high to disable charge and place the
BQ2416xx into high-impedance mode. Driving CD high during DEFAULT mode resets the safety timer. Driving
CD high during HOST mode resets the safety timer and places the BQ2416xx into high impedance mode. The
CD pin has precedence over the I2C control.
8.3.13 LDO Output (DRV)
The BQ2416xx contains a linear regulator (DRV) that is used to supply the internal MOSFET drivers and other
circuitry. Additionally, DRV supplies up to 10-mA external loads to power the STAT LED or the USB transceiver
circuitry. The maximum value of the DRV output is 5.45 V; ideal for protecting voltage sensitive USB circuits from
high voltage fluctuations in the supply. The LDO is on whenever a supply is connected to the IN or USB inputs of
the BQ2416xx. The DRV is disabled under the following conditions:
1. VSUPPLY < UVLO
2. VSUPPLY < VSLP
3. Thermal Shutdown
8.3.14 External NTC Monitoring (TS)
The I2C interface allows the user to easily implement the JEITA standard for systems where the battery pack
thermistor is monitored by the host. Additionally, the BQ2416xx provides a flexible, voltage based TS input for
monitoring the battery pack NTC thermistor. The voltage at TS is monitored to determine that the battery is at a
safe temperature during charging. The BQ24160, BQ24160A, BQ24161B, BQ24163, and BQ24168 enable the
user to easily implement the JEITA standard for charging temperature while the BQ24161 only monitors the hot
and cold cutoff temperatures and leaves the JEITA control to the host. The JEITA specification is shown in.

To satisfy the JEITA requirements, four temperature thresholds are monitored; the cold battery threshold (TNTC
< 0°C), the cool battery threshold (0°C < TNTC < 10°C), the warm battery threshold (45°C < TNTC ≤ 60°C) and
the hot battery threshold (TNTC > 60°C). These temperatures correspond to the VCOLD, VCOOL, VWARM, and VHOT
thresholds. Charging is suspended and timers are suspended when VTS < VHOT or VTS > VCOLD. When VWARM
> VTS > VHOT, the battery regulation voltage is reduced by 140 mV from the programmed regulation threshold.
When VCOLD > VTS > VCOOL, the charging current is reduced to half of the programmed charge current.
The TS function is voltage based for maximum flexibility. Connect a resistor divider from DRV to GND with TS
connected to the center tap to set the threshold. The connections are shown in Figure 8-11. The resistor values

8.3.15 Thermal Regulation and Protection
During the charging process, to prevent chip overheating, the BQ2416xx monitors the junction temperature, TJ,
of the die and begins to taper down the charge current once TJ reaches the thermal regulation threshold, TREG.
The charge current is reduced to zero when the junction temperature increases about 10°C above TREG. Once
the charge current is reduced, the system current is reduced while the battery supplements the load to supply
the system. This may cause a thermal shutdown of the BQ2416xx if the die temperature rises too high. At any
state, if TJ exceeds TSHTDWN, the BQ2416xx suspends charging and disables the buck converter. During thermal
shutdown mode, the buck converter is turned off, all timers are suspended, and a single 128-μs pulse is sent on
the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers are updated in the I2C. A new
charging cycle begins when TJ falls below TSHTDWN by approximately 10°C.
8.3.16 Input Voltage Protection in Charge Mode
8.3.16.1 Sleep Mode
The BQ2416xx enters the low-power sleep mode if the voltage on VSUPPLY falls below the sleep-mode entry
threshold, VBAT+VSLP, and VSUPPLY is higher than the undervoltage lockout threshold, VUVLO. This feature
prevents draining the battery during the absence of VSUPPLY. When VSUPPLY < VBAT+ VSLP, the BQ2416xx turns
off the PWM converter, turns the battery FET on and drives BGATE to GND, sends a single 128-μs pulse on the
STAT and INT outputs and updates the STATx and FAULT_x bits in the status registers. Once VSUPPLY > VBAT+
VSLP, the STATx and FAULT_x bits are cleared and the device initiates a new charge cycle.
8.3.16.2 Input Voltage Based DPM
During normal charging process, if the input power source is not able to support the programmed or default
charging current, the supply voltage decreases. Once the supply drops to VIN_DPM (default 4.2 V for both inputs),
the input current limit is reduced to prevent further supply droop. When the IC enters this mode, the charge
current is lower than the set value and the DPM_STATUS bit is set (Bit 5 in Register 05H). This feature provides

8.3.16.3 Bad Source Detection
When a source is connected to IN or USB, the BQ2416xx runs a Bad Source Detection procedure to determine
if the source is strong enough to provide some current to charge the battery. A current sink is turned on (30
mA for USB input, 75 mA for the IN input) for 32 ms. If the source is valid after the 32 ms (VBADSOURCE <
VSUPPLY < VOVP), the buck converter starts up and normal operation continues. If the supply voltage falls below
VBAD_SOURCE during the detection, the current sink shuts off for two seconds and then retries, a single 128-μs
pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers and the
battery/supply status registers are updated. The detection circuits retry continuously until either a new source
is connected to the other input or a valid source is detected after the detection time. If during normal operation
the source falls to VBAD_SOURCE, the BQ2416xx turns off the PWM converter, turns the battery FET on, sends
a single 128-μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status
registers, and the battery/supply status registers are updated. Once a good source is detected, the STATx and
FAULT_x bits are cleared and the device returns to normal operation.
If two supplies are connected, the supply with precedence is checked first. If the supply detection fails once,
the device switches to the other supply for two seconds and then retries. This allows the priority supply to settle
if the connection was jittery or the supply ramp was too slow to pass detection. If the priority supply fails the
detection a second time, it is locked out and lower priority supply is used. Once the bad supply is locked out, it
remains locked out until the supply voltage falls below UVLO. This prevents continuously switching between a
weak supply and a good supply.
8.3.16.4 Input Overvoltage Protection
The built-in input overvoltage protection to protect the device and other downstream components against
damage from overvoltage on the input supply (voltage from VUSB or VIN to PGND). During normal operation,
if VSUPPLY > VOVP, the BQ2416xx turns off the PWM converter, turns the battery FET and BGATE on, sends a
single 128-μs pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers
and the battery/supply status registers are updated. Once the OVP fault is removed, the STATx and FAULT_x
bits are cleared and the device returns to normal operation.

To allow operation with some unregulated adapters, the OVP circuit is not active during Bad Source Detection.
This provides some time for the current sink to pull the unregulated adapter down into an acceptable range. If
the adapter voltage is high at the end of the detection, the startup of the PWM converter does not occur. The
OVP circuit is active during normal operation, so if the system standby current plus the charge current is not
enough to pull down the source, operation is suspended.
8.3.16.5 Reverse Boost (Boost Back) Prevention Circuit
A buck converter has two operating modes, continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction
mode (DCM). In DCM, the inductor current ramps down to zero during the switching cycle while in CCM the
inductor maintains a DC level of current. Transitioning from DCM to CCM during load transients, slows down the
converter's transient response for those load steps, which can result in the SYS rail drooping. To achieve the
fastest possible transient reponse for this charger, this charger's synchronous buck converter is forced to run in
CCM even at light loads when the buck converter would typically revert to DCM. The challenge that presents
itself when forcing CCM with a charger is that the output of the buck converter now has a power source. Thus,
if the battery voltage, V(BAT), is ever greater than VBATREG, the inductor current goes fully negative and pushes
current back to the input supply. This effect causes the input source voltage to rise if the input source cannot
sink current. The input over-voltage protection circuit protects the IC from damage however some input sources
may be damaged if the voltage rises. To prevent this, this charger has implemented a reverse boost prevention
circuit. When reverse current is sensed that is not a result of the supplement comparator tripping, this circuit
disables the internal battery FET and changes the feedback point to VSYSREG for 1 ms. After the 1-ms timeout,
the BATFET is turned on again and the battery is tested to see if it is higher than VBATREG (negative current).
The reverse current protection is only active when VBOVP > VBAT > VBATREG - VRCH. Having VBOVP > VBAT >
VBATREG - VRCH results in an approximately 100-mV, 1000-Hz ripple on SYS as seen in Figure 8-7. The most
common trigger for reverse boost prevention is a load transient on SYS that requires the charger to enter battery
supplement mode. When the IC enters reverse boost prevention, the IC stops charging or exits charge done
which may result in the battery never reaching full charge. With termination enabled and ITERM > 150 mA
or with a high line impedance to the battery, the likelihood of activating the reverse boost prevention circuit is
small and even when activated, the charger typically exits reverse boost prevention as the battery relaxes. With
termination enabled and ITERM < 150 mA or with a low impedance battery, the likelihood of activating the
reverse boost prevention circuit by a load transient or even the inductor ripple current is higher. In either case,
the IC resumes charging until VBAT drops below VBATREG - VRCH, resulting in the battery always charging to
at least 0.97 of full charge. If full charge is required with ITERM < 150 mA then the recommended solution to
ensure full charge is as follows
1.
SET the charger’s enable no battery operation bit ( EN_NOBATOP) = 1 to disable the reverse boost
prevention circuits. Brief, low-amplitude voltage pulses on IN may be observed as the IC enters boost back to
resolve instances where VBAT is greater than the VBATREG, for example when exiting supplement mode. The
I2C communication software must ensure that VBATREG is never written below VBAT. The IC automatically
rewrites the VBATREG register to the default value of 3.6 V when existing HOST mode. For JEITA enabled ICs,
the IC automatically lowers the voltage reference to 0.98 of the VBATREG value. The software must account
for these instances as well.
2.
Disable the charger’s termination function and TS functions and use a gas gauge to control termination
and TS through its independent voltage and current measurements.

8.3.17 Charge Status Outputs (STAT, INT)
The STAT output is used to indicate operation conditions for BQ2416xx. STAT is pulled low during charging
when EN_STAT bit in the control register (0x02h) is set to “1”. When charge is complete or disabled, STAT is
high impedance. When a fault occurs, a 128-µs pulse (interrupt) is sent out to notify the host. The status of STAT
during different operation conditions is summarized in Table 8-1. STAT drives an LED for visual indication or can
be connected to the logic rail for host communication. The EN_STAT bit in the control register (00H) is used to
enable/disable the charge status for STAT. The interrupt pulses are unaffected by EN_STAT and will always be
shown. The INT output is identical to STAT and is used to interface with a low voltage host processor.

8.3.18 Good Battery Monitor
The BQ2416xx contains a good battery monitor circuit that places the BQ2416xx into high-z mode if the battery
voltage is above the BATGD threshold while in DEFAULT mode. This function is used to enable compliance
to the battery charging standard that prevents charging from an un-enumerated USB host while the battery is
above the good battery threshold. If the BQ2416xx is in HOST mode, it is assumed that USB host has been
enumerated and the good battery circuit has no effect on charging.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The state machine of the BQ2416x automatically changes primary states (Off, sleep, HiZ, charge disabled,
charging, charge done, battery OVP, fault) based on data in the I2C registers, IN and USB pin voltages, BAT
pin voltage and current flow, TS pin voltage, CD pin voltage and status of the safety timer. The BAT and TS pin
voltages as well as current flow into the IN and USB pins, out of SYS pin and into/out of the BAT pin determine
the charging sub-states, including conditioning, constant current (CC), CC with reduced charge current, constant
voltage (CV) with reduced charge current.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Serial Interface Description
The BQ2416xx uses an I2C-compatible interface to program charge parameters. I2C is a 2-wire serial interface
developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000). The bus consists of
a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pullup structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines
are pulled high. All I2C-compatible devices connect to the I2C bus through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A
host device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal processor, controls the bus. The host is responsible for
generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The host also generates specific conditions that indicate the
START and STOP of data transfer. A target device receives and/or transmits data on the bus under control of the
host device.
The BQ2416xx device works as a target and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the
I2C Bus Specification: standard mode (100 kbps) and fast mode (400 kbps). The interface adds flexibility to
the battery charging solution, enabling most functions to be programmed to new values depending on the
instantaneous application requirements. Register contents remain intact as long as battery voltage remains
above 2.5 V (typical). The I2C circuitry is powered from VBUS when a supply is connected. If the VBUS supply
is not connected, the I2C circuitry is powered from the battery through BAT. The battery voltage must stay above
2.5 V with no input connected in order to maintain proper operation.
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, they are referred to as the
F/S-mode in this document. The BQ2416xx devices only support 7-bit addressing. The device 7-bit address is
defined as ‘1101011’ (6Bh).
8.5.1.1 F/S Mode Protocol
The host initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 8-8. All I2C-compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.
DATA
CLK
S
P
START Condition
STOP Condition
Figure 8-8. START and STOP Condition
The host then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 8-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the host ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires the
SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 8-9). All devices recognize the
address sent by the host and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the target device with a matching
address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 8-10) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high period of
the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the host knows that communication link with a target has
been established.

SLUSAO0H – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED JULY 2022
The host generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the target (R/W bit 1) or receive data from
the target (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So
an acknowledge signal can either be generated by the host or by the target, depending on which one is the
receiver. The 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary. To signal the end of the data transfer, the host generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line
from low to high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 8-11). This releases the bus and stops the communication
link with the addressed target. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of
a stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and wait for a start condition followed by a matching
address. If a transaction is terminated prematurely, the host needs sending a STOP condition to prevent the
target I2C logic from remaining in an incorrect state. Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in
this section result in FFh being read out.

9 Application and Implementation
9.1 Application Information
A typical application circuit using the BQ24160 with a smartphone's GSM power amplifier (PA) powered directly
from the battery is shown in Figure 9-1. A typical application circuit using the BQ24161 with a smartphone's
GSM PA powered from the SYS rail, to allow for calls even with a deeply discharged battery, is shown in
Figure 9-2. Each circuit shows the minimum capacitance requirements for each pin and typical recommended
inductance value of 1.5 µH. The TS resistor divider for configuring the TS function for the battery's specific
thermistor can be computed from equations Equation 1 and Equation 2. The resistor on STAT is sized per the
LED current requirements. All other configuration settings for VINDPM, input current limit, charge current and
charge voltage are made in EEPROM registers using I2C commands. Options for sizing the inductor outside the
1.5 µH recommended value and additional SYS pin capacitance are explained in the next section.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection Guidelines
When selecting an inductor, several attributes must be examined to find the right part for the application. First,
the inductance value should be selected. The BQ2416xx is designed to work with 1.5-µH to 2.2-µH inductors.
The chosen value will have an effect on efficiency and package size. Due to the smaller current ripple, some
efficiency gain is reached using the 2.2-µH inductor, however, due to the physical size of the inductor, this may
not be a viable option. The 1.5-µH inductor provides a good tradeoff between size and efficiency.
Once the inductance has been selected, the peak current must be calculated in order to choose the current
rating of the inductor. Use Equation 5 to calculate the peak current.

SLUSAO0H – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED JULY 2022
The inductor selected must have a saturation current rating greater than or equal to the calculated IPEAK. Due
to the high currents possible with the BQ2416xx, a thermal analysis must also be done for the inductor. Many
inductors have a 40°C temperature-rise rating. The DC component of the current can cause a 40°C temperature
rise above the ambient temperature in the inductor. For this analysis, the typical load current may be used
adjusted for the duty cycle of the load transients. For example, if the application requires a 1.5-A DC load with
peaks at 2.5 A 20% of the time, a Δ40°C temperature rise current must be greater than 1.7 A:
ITEMPRISE = ILOAD + D ´ (IPEAK - ILOAD ) = 1.5A + 0.2 × (2.5A - 1 .5A ) = 1.7A
(6)
The BQ2416xx provides internal loop compensation. Using this scheme, the BQ2416xx is stable with 10 µF to
200 µF of local capacitance on the SYS output. The capacitance on the SYS rail can be higher if distributed
amongst the rail. To reduce the output voltage ripple, a ceramic capacitor with the capacitance between 10 µF
and 47 µF is recommended for local bypass to SYS. A 47-µF bypass capacitor is recommended for optimal
transient response.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Requirements for SYS Output
In order to provide an output voltage on SYS, the BQ2416xx requires either a power supply between 4.2 V
and 6.0 V for USB input on all versions, 4.2 V and 6.0 V for IN input on BQ24168 and 4.2 V and 10.0 V on
the remaining versions with at least 100-mA current rating connected to IN or USB or a single-cell LiIon battery
with voltage > VBATUVLO connected to BAT. The source current rating needs to be at least 2.5 A in order for the
charger's buck converter to provide maximum output power to SYS.
10.2 Requirements for Charging
In order for charging to occur, the source voltage as measured at the IC's USB or IN pins (factoring in cable/
trace losses from the source) must be greater than the VINDPM threshold (but less than the maximum values
above) and the source's current rating must be higher than the buck converter needs to provide the load on
SYS. For charging at a desired charge current of ICHRG, VUSBorINx IUSBorIN x η > VSYS x (ISYS+ ICHRG) where η is
the efficiency estimate from Figure 7-1 or Figure 7-2 and VSYS = VBAT when VBAT charges above VMINSYS. The
charger limits IUSBorIN to that input's current limit setting. With ISYS = 0 A, the charger consumes maximum power
at the end of CC mode, when the voltage at the BAT pin is near VBATREG but ICHRG has not started to taper off
toward ITERM.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
It is important to pay special attention to the PCB layout. Figure 11-1 provides a sample layout for the high
current paths of the BQ2416xx. A list of layout guidelines follows.
•

To obtain optimal performance, the power input capacitors, connected from the PMID input to PGND, must be
placed as close as possible to the BQ2416xx
Minimize the amount of inductance between BAT and the postive connection of the battery terminal. If a large
parasitic board inductance on BAT is expected, increase the bypass capacitance on BAT.
Place 4.7-µF input capacitor as close to PMID_ pin and PGND pin as possible to make high frequency
current loop area as small as possible. Place 1-µF input capacitor GNDs as close to the respective PMID cap
GND and PGND pins as possible to minimize the ground difference between the input and PMID_.
The traces from the input connector to the inputs of the BQ2416xx should be as wide as possible to minimize
the impedance in the line. Although the VINDPM feature will allow operation from input sources having high
resistances(impedances), the BQ2416xx input pins (IN and USB) have been optimized to connect to input
sources with no more than 350 mΩ of input resistance, including cables and PCB traces
The local bypass capacitor from SYS to GND should be connected between the SYS pin and PGND of the
IC. The intent is to minimize the current path loop area from the SW pin through the LC filter and back to the
PGND pin.
Place all decoupling capacitors close to their respective IC pins and as close as to PGND (do not place
components such that routing interrupts power stage currents). All small control signals should be routed
away from the high-current paths.
The PCB should have a ground plane (return) connected directly to the return of all components through vias
(two vias per capacitor for power-stage capacitors, one via per capacitor for small-signal components). It is
also recommended to put vias inside the PGND pads for the IC, if possible. A star ground design approach
is typically used to keep circuit block currents isolated (high-power/low-power small-signal) which reduces
noise-coupling and ground-bounce issues. A single ground plane for this design gives good results. With
this small layout and a single ground plane, there is no ground-bounce issue, and having the components
segregated minimizes coupling between signals.
The high-current charge paths into IN, USB, BAT, SYS and from the SW pins must be sized appropriately
for the maximum charge current in order to avoid voltage drops in these traces. The PGND pins should be
connected to the ground plane to return current through the internal low-side FET.
For high-current applications, the balls for the power paths should be connected to as much copper in the
board as possible. This allows better thermal performance because the board conducts heat away from the
IC.
