Pin Functions (continued)
PIN
NAME
DESCRIPTION
NO.
PG
5
Open-drain power good status output. The transistor turns on when a valid VCC is detected. The transistor is turned
off in the sleep mode. PG can be used to drive an LED or communicate with a host processor. The PG pin can be
used to drive ACFET and BATFET.
PH
14
PWM high-side driver negative supply. Connect to the phase-switching node (junction of the low-side power MOSFET
drain, high-side power MOSFET source, and output inductor).
REGN
12
PWM low-side driver positive 6-V supply output. Connect a 1-μF ceramic capacitor from REGN to the PGND pin, close
to the IC. Use for low-side driver and high-side driver bootstrap voltage by connecting a small-signal Schottky diode
from REGN to BTST.
SRN
9
Charge current sense resistor, negative input. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is placed from SRN to SRP to provide
differential-mode filtering. An optional 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is placed from the SRN pin to GND for common-mode
filtering.
SRP
10
Charge current sense resistor, positive input. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is placed from SRN to SRP to provide
differential-mode filtering. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor is placed from SRP pin to GND for common-mode filtering.
STAT
3
Open-drain charge status pin to indicate various charger operations (See Table 2)
Thermal
pad
—
Exposed pad beneath the IC. Always solder the thermal pad to the board, and have vias on the thermal-pad plane
star-connecting to GND and ground plane for high-current power converter. It also serves as a thermal pad to
dissipate the heat.
TS
4
Temperature qualification voltage input for battery pack negative-temperature-coefficient thermistor. Program the hot
and cold temperature window with a resistor divider from VREF to TS to GND.
VCC
1
IC power positive supply. Connect through a 10-Ω resistor to the common-source (diode-OR) point: source of highside P-channel MOSFET and source of reverse-blocking power P-channel MOSFET. Or connect through a 10-Ω
resistor to the cathode of the input diode. Place a 1-μF ceramic capacitor from VCC to GND pin close to the IC.
VFB
8
Output voltage analog feedback adjustment. Connect the output of a resistive voltage divider from the battery
terminals to this node to adjust the output battery regulation voltage.
VREF
6
3.3-V regulated voltage output. Place a 1-μF ceramic capacitor from VREF to the GND pin close to the IC. This
voltage could be used for programming of voltage and current regulation and for programming the TS threshold.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to GND if not specified. Currents are positive into, negative out of the specified terminal. Consult the
packaging section of the data book for thermal limitations and considerations of packages.
Must have a series resistor between battery pack to VFB if battery pack voltage is expected to be greater than 16 V. Usually the
resistor-divider top resistor takes care of this.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The bq24620 device is a stand-alone, integrated lithium phosphate battery charger. The device employs a
switched-mode synchronous buck PWM controller with constant switching frequency.
The bq24620 has a battery detect scheme that allows it to automatically detect the presence and absence of a
battery. When the battery is detected, charging begins in one of three phases (depending upon battery voltage):
precharge, constant current (fast-charge current regulation), and constant voltage (fast-charge voltage
regulation). The device will terminate charging when the termination current threshold has been reached and will
begin a recharge cycle when the battery voltage has dropped below the recharge threshold (VRECHG). Constant
(fastcharge) current and termination current can be configured through the ISET pin, allowing for flexibility in
battery charging profile. During charging, the integrated fault monitors of the device, such as battery overvoltage
protection, battery short detection (VBATSHT), thermal shutdown (internal TSHUT and TS pin), and input voltage
protection (VACOV and VUVLO), ensure battery safety.
The bq24620 has two status pins (STAT and PG) to indicate the charging status and input voltage (AC adapter)
status. These pins can be used to drive LEDs or communicate with a host processor. Additionally, the PG pin
can be used to drive external ACFET and BATFET.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Battery Voltage Regulation
The bq24620 uses a high-accuracy voltage band gap and regulator for the charging voltage. The charge voltage
is programmed through a resistor-divider from the battery to ground, with the midpoint tied to the VFB pin. The
voltage at the VFB pin is regulated to 1.8 V, giving Equation 1 for the regulation voltage:
R2 ù
é
VBAT = 1.8 V ´ ê1 +
R1 úû
ë
where
•
where R2 is connected from VFB to the battery and R1 is connected from VFB to GND.
(1)
8.3.2 Battery Current Regulation
The ISET1 input sets the maximum charging current. Battery current is sensed by resistor RSR connected
between SRP and SRN. The full-scale differential voltage between SRP and SRN is 100 mV. Thus, for a 10-mΩ
sense resistor, the maximum charging current is 10 A. Equation 2 is for charge current:
VISET
ICHARGE =
20 ´ RSR
(2)
VISET, the input voltage range of ISET, is from 0 to 2 V. The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense voltage across
RSR with default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger sense resistor
gives a larger sense voltage and a higher regulation accuracy, but at the expense of higher conduction loss.
8.3.3 Precharge
On power up, if the battery voltage is below the VLOWV threshold, the bq24620 applies 125 mA to the battery. (1)
The precharge feature is intended to revive deeply discharged cells. If the VLOWV threshold is not reached within
30 minutes of initiating precharge, the charger turns off and a FAULT is indicated on the status pins.
8.3.4 Charge Termination, Recharge, and Safety Timer
The bq24620 monitors the charging current during the voltage regulation phase. Termination is detected while
the voltage on the VFB pin is higher than the VRECH threshold AND the charge current is less than the ITERM
threshold, which is 1/10th of programmed charge current, as calculated in Equation 3:
VISET
ITERM =
200 ´ RSR
(3)
As a safety backup, the bq24620 also provides an internal 5-hour charge timer for fast charge.
A
•
•
•
new charge cycle is initiated when one of the following conditions occurs:
The battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold.
A power-on reset (POR) event occurs.
CE is toggled.
8.3.5 Power Up
The bq24620 uses a SLEEP comparator to determine the source of power on the VCC pin, because VCC can be
supplied either from the battery or the adapter. If the VCC voltage is greater than the SRN voltage, the bq24620
enables ACFET and disables BATFET. If all other conditions are met for charging, the bq24620 then attempts to
charge the battery (see Enable and Disable Charging). If the SRN voltage is greater than VCC, indicating that
the battery is the power source, bq24620 enters a low-quiescent-current ( SRN) .
• The VCC voltage is lower than the ac overvoltage threshold (VCC < VACOV).
• 30-ms delay is complete after initial power up.
• The REGN LDO and VREF LDO voltages are at the correct levels.
• Thermal shutdown (TSHUT) is not valid.
• TS fault is not detected.
Any of the following conditions stops ongoing charging:
• CE is LOW.
• Adapter is removed, causing the device to enter VCCLOWV or SLEEP mode.
• Adapter voltage is less than 100 mV above battery.
• Adapter is over voltage.
• The REGN or VREF LDOs are overloaded.
• TSHUT IC temperature threshold is reached (145°C on rising edge with 15°C hysteresis).
• TS voltage goes out of range, indicating the battery temperature is too hot or too cold.
• Safety timer times out.
8.3.7 Automatic Internal Soft-Start Charger Current
The charger automatically soft-starts the charger regulation current every time the charger goes into fast-charge
to ensure there is no overshoot or stress on the output capacitors or the power converter. The soft-start consists
of stepping up the charge regulation current into eight evenly divided steps up to the programmed charge
current. Each step lasts around 1.6 ms, for a typical rise time of 12.8 ms. No external components are needed
for this function.
8.3.8 Converter Operation
The synchronous buck PWM converter uses a fixed-frequency voltage mode with a feed-forward control scheme.
A type-III compensation network allows using ceramic capacitors at the output of the converter. The
compensation input stage is connected internally between the feedback output (FBO) and the error amplifier
input (EAI). The feedback compensation stage is connected between the error amplifier input (EAI) and error
amplifier output (EAO). The LC output filter is selected to give a resonant frequency of 10 kHz to 15 kHz for
bq24620, where the resonant frequency, fo, is given by:
1
fo =
2 p L o Co
(4)
An internal sawtooth ramp is compared to the internal EAO error control signal to vary the duty cycle of the
converter. The ramp height is 7% of the input adapter voltage, making it always directly proportional to the input
adapter voltage. This cancels out any loop gain variation due to a change in input voltage, and simplifies the loop
compensation. The ramp is offset by 300 mV in order to allow zero-percent duty cycle when the EAO signal is
below the ramp. The EAO signal is also allowed to exceed the sawtooth ramp signal in order to get a 100% dutycycle PWM request. Internal gate-drive logic allows achieving 99.95% duty cycle while ensuring the N-channel
upper device always has enough voltage to stay fully on. If the BTST pin to PH pin voltage falls below 4.2 V for
more than three cycles, then the high-side N-channel power MOSFET is turned off and the low-side N-channel
power MOSFET is turned on to pull the PH node down and recharge the BTST capacitor. Then the high-side
driver returns to 100% duty-cycle operation until the (BTST–PH) voltage is detected to fall low again due to
leakage current discharging the BTST capacitor below 4.2 V, and the reset pulse is reissued.
The fixed-frequency oscillator keeps tight control of the switching frequency under all conditions of input voltage,
battery voltage, charge current, and temperature, simplifying output filter design and keeping it out of the audible
noise region. Also see Application and Implementation for how to select the inductor, capacitor, and MOSFET.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.9 Synchronous and Nonsynchronous Operation
The charger operates in synchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is above 5 mV (0.5-A inductor current
for a 10-mΩ sense resistor). During synchronous mode, the internal gate-drive logic ensures there is breakbefore-make complementary switching to prevent shoot-through currents. During the 30-ns dead time where both
FETs are off, the body diode of the low-side power MOSFET conducts the inductor current. Having the low-side
FET turn on keeps the power dissipation low, and allows safely charging at high currents. During synchronous
mode, the inductor current is always flowing and the converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM),
creating a fixed two-pole system.
The charger operates in nonsynchronous mode when the SRP-SRN voltage is below 5 mV (0.5-A inductor
current for a 10-mΩ sense resistor). The charger is forced into nonsynchronous mode when the battery voltage is
lower than 2 V or when the average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25 mV.
During nonsynchronous operation, the body diode of the low-side MOSFET can conduct the positive inductor
current after the high-side N-channel power MOSFET turns off. When the load current decreases and the
inductor current drops to zero, the body diode is naturally turned off and the inductor current becomes
discontinuous. This mode is called discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). During DCM, the low-side N-channel
power MOSFET turns on for around 80 ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2 V; then the lowside power MOSFET turns off and stays off until the beginning of the next cycle, where the high-side power
MOSFET is turned on again. The 80-ns low-side MOSFET on-time is required to ensure the bootstrap capacitor
is always recharged and able to keep the high-side power MOSFET on during the next cycle. This is important
for battery chargers, where unlike regular DC-DC converters, there is a battery load that maintains a voltage and
can both source and sink current. The 80-ns low-side pulse pulls the PH node (connection between high- and
low-side MOSFETs) down, allowing the bootstrap capacitor to recharge up to the REGN LDO value. After the 80
ns, the low-side MOSFET is kept off to prevent negative inductor current from occurring.
At very low currents during nonsynchronous operation, there may be a small amount of negative inductor current
during the 80-ns recharge pulse. The charge must be low enough to be absorbed by the input capacitance.
Whenever the converter goes into zero-percent duty cycle, the high-side MOSFET does not turn on, and the lowside MOSFET does not turn on (only 80-ns recharge pulse) either, and there is almost no discharge from the
battery.
During the DCM mode, the loop response automatically changes and has a single-pole system at which the pole
is proportional to the load current, because the converter does not sink current, and only the load provides a
current sink. This means at very low currents the loop response is slower, as there is less sinking current
available to discharge the output voltage.
8.3.10 Cycle-by-Cycle Charge Undercurrent
If the SRP-SRN voltage decreases below 5 mV (the charger is also forced into nonsynchronous mode when the
average SRP-SRN voltage is lower than 1.25 mV), the low-side FET is turned off for the remainder of the
switching cycle to prevent negative inductor current. During DCM, the low-side FET only turns on for around 80
ns when the bootstrap capacitor voltage drops below 4.2 V to provide refresh charge for the bootstrap capacitor.
This is important to prevent negative inductor current from causing a boost effect in which the input voltage
increases as power is transferred from the battery to the input capacitors, which leads to an overvoltage stress
on the VCC node and potentially causes damage to the system.
8.3.11 Input Overvoltage Protection (ACOV)
ACOV provides protection to prevent system damage due to high input voltage. Once the adapter voltage
reaches the ACOV threshold, charge is disabled and the battery is switched to the system instead of the adapter.
8.3.12 Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The system must have a minimum VCC voltage to allow proper operation. This VCC voltage could come from
either input the adapter orthe battery, if a conduction path exists from the battery to VCC through the high-side
NMOS body diode. When VCC is below the UVLO threshold, all circuits in the IC are disabled.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.13 Battery Overvoltage Protection
The converter does not allow the high-side FET to turn on until the BAT voltage goes below 105% of the
regulation voltage. This allows one-cycle response to an overvoltage condition, such as occurs when the load is
removed or the battery is disconnected. An 8-mA current sink from SRP/SRN to PGND is on only during charge
and allows discharging the stored output inductor energy that is transferred to the output capacitors. BATOVP
also suspends the safety timer.
8.3.14 Cycle-by-Cycle Charge Overcurrent Protection
The charger has a secondary cycle-to-cycle overcurrent protection. The charger monitors the charge current, and
prevents the current from exceeding 160% of the programmed charge current. The high-side gate drive turns off
when the overcurrent is detected, and automatically resumes when the current falls below the overcurrent
threshold.
8.3.15 Thermal Shutdown Protection
The QFN package has low thermal impedance, which provides good thermal conduction from the silicon to the
ambient, to keep junctions temperatures low. As an added level of protection, the charger converter turns off and
self-protects whenever the junction temperature exceeds the TSHUT threshold of 145°C. The charger stays off
until the junction temperature falls below 130°C. Then the charger soft-starts again if all other enable-charge
conditions are valid. Thermal shutdown also suspends the safety timer.
8.3.16 Temperature Qualification
The controller continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and
GND. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and an external voltage divider typically develop this
voltage. The controller compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charging is allowed.
To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the VLTF to VHTF thresholds. If battery
temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends charge and the safety timer and waits until the
battery temperature is within the VLTF to VHTF range. During the charge cycle, the battery temperature must be
within the VLTF to VTCO thresholds. If the battery temperature is outside of this range, the controller suspends
charge and the safety timer and waits until the battery temperature is within the VLTF to VHTF range. If the battery
temperature is between the VLTF and VCOOL thresholds or between the VHTF and VWARM thresholds, charge is
automatically reduced to ICHARGE/8. To avoid early termination during COOL/WARM condition, set ITERM ≤
ICHARGE/10. The controller suspends charge by turning off the PWM charge FETs. Figure 11 and Figure 12
summarize the operation.

For example, a 103AT NTC thermistor is used to monitor the battery pack temperature. Select TCOOL = 0ºC,
TWARM = 60ºC. From the calculation and selecting a standard 5% resistor value, we can get RT1 = 2.2 kΩ, RT2 =
6.8 kΩ, and TCOLD is –17ºC (target –20ºC); THOT is 77ºC (target 75ºC), and TCUT-OFF is 86ºC (target 80ºC). A small
RC filter is suggested to protect the TS pin from system-level ESD.
8.3.17 Timer Fault Recovery
The bq24620 provides a recovery method to deal with timer fault conditions. The following summarizes this
method:
Condition 1: The battery voltage is above the recharge threshold and a time-out fault occurs.
Recovery Method: The timer fault clears when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold, and
battery detection begins. Taking CE low, or a POR condition, also clears the fault.
Condition 2: The battery voltage is below the RECHARGE threshold and a time-out fault occurs.
Recovery Method: Under this scenario, the bq24620 applies the IFAULT current to the battery. This small
current is used to detect a battery removal condition and remains on as long as the battery voltage stays below
the recharge threshold. If the battery voltage goes above the recharge threshold, the bq24620 disables the fault
current and executes the recovery method described in Condition 1. Taking CE low, or a POR condition, also
clears the fault.
8.3.18
PG Output
The open-drain PG (power good) indicates whether the VCC voltage is valid or not. The open-drain FET turns on
whenever the bq24620 has a valid VCC input (not in UVLO or ACOV or SLEEP mode). The PG pin can be used
to drive an LED or communicate with the host processor.

8.3.19 CE (Charge Enable)
The CE digital input is used to disable or enable the charge process. A high-level signal on this pin enables
charge, provided all the other conditions for charge are met (see Enable and Disable Charging). A high-to-low
transition on this pin also resets all timers and fault conditions. There is an internal 1-MΩ pulldown resistor on the
CE pin, so if CE is floated, the charge does not turn on.
8.3.20 Charge Status Outputs
The open-drain STAT outputs indicate various charger operations as shown in Table 2. These status pins can be

Once the device has powered up, an 8-mA discharge current is applied to the SRN terminal. If the battery
voltage falls below the LOWV threshold within 1 second, the discharge source is turned off, and the charger is
turned on at low charge current (125 mA). If the battery voltage rises above the recharge threshold within 500
ms, no battery is present and the cycle restarts. If either the 500-ms or 1-second timer times out before the
respective thresholds are hit, a battery is detected and a charge cycle is initiated. See Maximum Output
Capacitance for more information.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
The bq24620 has a 300-kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small inductor and capacitor values.
Inductor saturation current must be higher than the charging current (ICHARGE) plus half the ripple current (IRIPPLE):
ISAT ³ ICHG + (1/2) IRIPPLE
(7)
The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VIN), duty cycle (D = VOUT/VIN), switching frequency (fS) and
inductance (L):
V ´ D ´ (1 - D)
IRIPPLE = IN
fS ´ L
(8)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5. For example, the battery-charging voltage range is
from 2.8 V to 14.4 V for a four-cell battery pack. For 20-V adapter voltage, 10-V battery voltage gives the
maximum inductor ripple current.
Usually, inductor ripple is designed in the range of 20%–40% of maximum charging current as a trade-off
between inductor size and efficiency for a practical design.
The bq24620 has cycle-by-cycle charge undercurrent protection (UCP) by monitoring the charging-current
sensing resistor to prevent negative inductor current. The typical UCP threshold is 5 mV falling edge,
corresponding to 0.5-A falling edge for a 10-mΩ charging-current-sensing resistor.
9.2.2.2 Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching-ripple current. The worstcase RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate
at 50% duty cycle, then the worst-case capacitor RMS current ICIN occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50%
and can be estimated by the following equation:
ICIN = ICHG ´
D ´ (1 - D)
(9)
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for the input-decoupling capacitor and must be
placed as close as possible to the drain of the high-side MOSFET and source of the low-side MOSFET. The
voltage rating of the capacitor must be higher than the normal input voltage level. A 25-V rating or higher
capacitor is preferred for 20-V input voltage. A 20-µF capacitor is suggested for typical of 3-A to 4-A charging
current.
9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor also must have enough ripple current rating to absorb the output switching-ripple current.
The output capacitor RMS current ICOUT is given:
I
ICOUT = RIPPLE » 0.29 ´ IRIPPLE
2 ´ 3
(10)
The output capacitor voltage ripple can be calculated as follows:
DVo =

(11)
At certain input and output voltage and switching frequency, the voltage ripple can be reduced by increasing the
output filter LC.
The bq24620 has an internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output
inductor and output capacitor must be designed from 10 kHz to 15 kHz. The preferred ceramic capacitor is 25 V,
X7R, or X5R for 4-cell applications.

9.2.2.4 Power MOSFET Selection
Two external N-channel MOSFETs are used for a synchronous switching battery charger. The gate drivers are
internally integrated into the IC with 6 V of gate drive voltage. 30-V or higher voltage rating MOSFETs are
preferred for 20-V input voltage, and 40-V MOSFETs are preferred for 20-V to 28-V input voltage.
Figure-of-merit (FOM) is usually used for selecting the proper MOSFET, based on a tradeoff between the
conduction loss and switching loss. For the top-side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the product of the MOSFET
ON-resistance, rDS(on), and the gate-to-drain charge, QGD. For the bottom-side MOSFET, FOM is defined as the
product of the MOSFET ON-resistance, rDS(on), and the total gate charge, QG.
FOM top = RDS(on) ´ QG D
FOMbottom = RDS(on) ´ QG
(12)
The lower the FOM value, the lower the total power loss. Usually lower rDS(on) has higher cost with the same
package size.
The top-side MOSFET loss includes conduction loss and switching loss. It is a function of duty cycle (D =
VOUT/VIN), charging current (ICHARGE), MOSFET ON-resistance rDS(on)), input voltage (VIN), switching frequency
(fS), turnon time (ton), and turnoff time (toff):
1
Ptop = D ´ ICHG2 ´ RDS(on) +
´ VIN ´ ICHG ´ (t on + t off ) ´ fS
2
(13)
The first item represents the conduction loss. Usually MOSFET rDS(on) increases by 50% with 100ºC junction
temperature rise. The second term represents the switching loss. The MOSFET turnon and turnoff times are
given by:
Q
Q
ton = SW , t off = SW
Ion
Ioff
(14)
where Qsw is the switching charge, Ion is the turnon gate-driving current, and Ioff is the turnoff gate-driving current.
If the switching charge is not given in the MOSFET data sheet, it can be estimated by gate-to-drain charge (QGD)
and gate-to-source charge (QGS):
1
QSW = QGD +
´ QGS
2
(15)
Total gate-driving current can be estimated by the REGN voltage (VREGN), MOSFET plateau voltage (Vplt), total
turnon gate resistance (Ron), and turnoff gate resistance Roff) of the gate driver:
VREG N - Vplt
Vplt
Ion =
, Ioff =
Ron
Roff
(16)
The conduction loss of the bottom-side MOSFET is calculated with the following equation when it operates in
synchronous continuous conduction mode:
Pbottom = (1 - D) ´ ICHG 2 ´ RDS(on)
(17)
If the SRP–SRN voltage decreases below 5 mV (the charger is also forced into nonsynchronous mode when the
average SRP–SRN voltage is lower than 1.25 mV), the low-side FET is turned off for the remainder of the
switching cycle to prevent negative inductor current.
As a result, all the freewheeling current goes through the body diode of the bottom-side MOSFET. The maximum
charging current in nonsynchronous mode can be up to 0.9 A (0.5 A typical) for a 10-mΩ charging-currentsensing resistor, considering IC tolerance. Choose the bottom-side MOSFET with either an internal Schottky or
body diode capable of carrying the maximum nonsynchronous mode charging current.
MOSFET gate-driver power loss contributes to the dominant losses on controller IC when the buck converter is
switching. Choosing a MOSFET with a small Qg_total reduces the IC power loss to avoid thermal shutdown.
PICLoss_driver = VIN × Qg_total × fs
where
•
Qg_total is the total gate charge for both upper and lower MOSFETs at 6-V VREGN
(18)
The VREF load current is another component of the VCC input current (do not overload VREF), where total IC
loss can be described by following equations:

9.2.2.5 Input Filter Design
During adapter hot plug-in, the parasitic inductance and input capacitor from the adapter cable form a secondorder system. The voltage spike at the VCC pin may be beyond the IC maximum voltage rating and damage the
IC. The input filter must be carefully designed and tested to prevent an overvoltage event on VCC pin.
There are several methods to damping or limiting the overvoltage spike during adapter hot plug-in. An electrolytic
capacitor with high ESR as an input capacitor can damp the overvoltage spike well below the IC maximum pinvoltage rating. A high-current-capability TVS Zener diode can also limit the overvoltage level to an IC-safe level.
However, these two solutions may not have low cost or small size.
A cost-effective and small-size solution is shown in Figure 18. R1 and C1 comprise a damping RC network to
damp the hot plug-in oscillation. As a result, the overvoltage spike is limited to a safe level. D1 is used for
reverse voltage protection for the VCC pin (it can be the input Schottky diode or the body diode of the input
ACFET). C2 is a VCC pin-decoupling capacitor, and it must be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin. R2
and C2 form a damping RC network to further protect the IC from high-dv/dt and high-voltage spikes. The C2
value must be less than the C1 value so R1 can be dominant over the ESR of C1 to get enough damping effect
for hot plug-in. R1 and R2 packages must be sized to handle the inrush-current power loss according to the
resistor manufacturer’s data sheet. The filter component values always must be verified with the real application,
and minor adjustments may be needed to fit in the real application circuit.

9.2.2.7 Maximum Output Capacitance
Care must be taken that the total output capacitance at the battery node is not so large that the discharge current
source cannot pull the voltage below the LOWV threshold during the 1-second discharge time. The maximum
output capacitance can be calculated as seen in Equation 21:
´ tDISCH
I
CMAX = DISCH
é R ù
1.425 ´ ê1+ 2 ú
ë R1 û
where
•
•
•
•
CMAX is the maximum output capacitance.
IDISCH is the discharge current.
tDISCH is the discharge time.
R2 and R1 are the voltage feedback resistors from the battery to the VFB pin.
(21)
The 1.425 factor is the difference between the RECHARGE and the LOWV thresholds at the VFB pin.
EXAMPLE
For a 3-cell Li+ charger, with R2 = 500 kΩ, R1 = 100 kΩ (giving 10.8 V for voltage regulation), IDISCH = 8 mA,
tDISCH = 1 second,
CMAX =
8mA ´ 1sec
= 930 mF
é 500k ù
1.425 ´ ê1+
ú
ë 100k û
(22)
Based on these calculations, no more than 930 μF should be allowed on the battery node for proper operation of
the battery detection circuit.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
For proper operation of bq24620, VCC must be from 5 V to 28 V. To begin charging, VCC must be higher than
SRN by at least 500 mV (otherwise, the device will be in sleep mode). TI recommends an input voltage of at
least 1.5 V to 2 V higher than the battery voltage, taking into consideration the DC losses in the high-side FET
(Rdson), inductor (DCR), the input diode drop, and battery sense resistor (between SRP and SRN). Power limit
for the input supply must be greater than the maximum power required for battery charging.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The switching node rise and fall times must be minimized for minimum switching loss. Proper layout of the
components to minimize the high-frequency current-path loop (see Figure 21) is important to prevent electrical
and magnetic field radiation and high-frequency resonant problems. The following is a PCB layout priority list for
proper layout. Layout of the PCB according to this specific order is essential.
1. Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the switching MOSFET supply and ground connections, and
use the shortest possible copper trace connection. These parts should be placed on the same layer of the
PCB instead of on different layers, using vias to make this connection.
2. The IC must be placed close to the switching MOSFET gate terminals, keeping the gate-drive signal traces
short for a clean MOSFET drive. The IC can be placed on the other side of the PCB from the switching
MOSFETs.
3. Place the inductor input terminal as close as possible to switching MOSFET output terminal. Minimize the
copper area of this trace to lower electrical and magnetic field radiation, but make the trace wide enough to
carry the charging current. Do not use multiple layers in parallel for this connection. Minimize parasitic
capacitance from this area to any other trace or plane.
4. The charging-current-sensing resistor must be placed right next to the inductor output. Route the sense leads
connected across the sensing resistor back to the IC in same layer, close to each other (minimize loop area),
and do not route the sense leads through a high-current path (see Figure 22 for Kelvin connection for best
current accuracy). Place the decoupling capacitor on these traces next to the IC.
5. Place the output capacitor next to the sensing-resistor output and ground.
6. The output capacitor ground connections must be tied to the same copper that connects to the input
capacitor ground before connecting to system ground.
7. Route the analog ground separately from the power ground and use a single ground connection to tie the
charger power ground to the charger analog ground. Just beneath the IC, use the copper pour for analog
ground, but avoid power pins to reduce inductive and capacitive noise coupling. Connect analog ground to
GND. Connect the analog ground and power ground together using the thermal pad as the single ground
connection point, or use a 0-Ω resistor to tie analog ground to power ground (the thermal pad should tie to
analog ground in this case). A star-connection under the thermal pad is highly recommended.
8. It is critical to solder the exposed thermal pad on the back of the IC package to the PCB ground. Ensure that
there are sufficient thermal vias directly under the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the other layers.
9. Place decoupling capacitors next to the IC pins to make trace connections as short as possible.
10. All via sizes and numbers must be enough for a given current path.
See the EVM design (SLUU410) for the recommended component placement with trace and via locations.
