MP2639A
The Future of Analog IC Technology
2-Cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer Switching Charger
Compatible with 5V Input and Integrated,
Bidirectional Charge/Discharge with Cell Balance
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2639A is a highly integrated, flexible,
switch-mode, battery-charging management
device for 2-cell series Li-ion and Li-polymer
batteries used in a wide range of portable
applications.
The MP2639A is able to charge a 2-cell battery
from a 5V adapter or USB input. The MP2639A
can work in three modes: charge mode,
discharge mode, and sleep mode.
In 2-cell applications, the 5V input charges the
2-cell battery via the MP2639A operating in
step-up mode. When the 5V input is absent, the
2-cell battery voltage is discharged to the 5V
output via the MP2639A working in step-down
mode.
For the charging function, the MP2639A detects
the battery voltage automatically and charges
the battery in three phases: trickle current,
constant current, and constant voltage. Other
features include charge termination and autorecharge.
To guarantee safe operation, the MP2639A
limits the die temperature to a preset value of
120°C. Other safety features include input overvoltage protection (OVP), battery over-voltage
protection (OVP), thermal shutdown, battery
temperature monitoring, and a programmable
timer to prevent prolonged charging of a dead
battery.
The MP2639A is available in a QFN-26
(4mmx4mm) package.

NOTES:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
OPERATION
The MP2639A is a highly integrated, switchmode battery charger with a sophisticated
control strategy to charge 2-cell series Lithiumion or Lithium-polymer batteries from a 5V
adapter or USB input.
The sense gain can be programmed by the
external resistor (RIB) connected from IB to
GND. For example, for a 40kΩ RIB, a 0.3V IB
value represents a 1A battery current.
CHARGE MODE
Input Power Start-Up
As shown in Figure 3, once VCC exceeds the
UVLO threshold, the MP2639A qualifies both
the LV side and HV side voltage according to
the MODE status.
MODE Control
When MODE is low, the MP2639A works in
charging mode to charge a 2-cell series battery
from 5V. The MP2639A operates in step-up
mode at this time, and Q2 works as the active
switch, while Q1 works as the synchronous
switch.
In charging mode, VL is the input power
terminal. Once VOVLO > VLV > VUVLO and no fault
occurs, the MP2639A is ready for charging.
When MODE is high, the MP2639A is
configured to discharge mode. Once discharge
mode is enabled, the MP2639A operates in
reverse to achieve a 5V output from a 2-cell
battery via step-down mode (see Table 1).
As shown in Figure 4, depending on VH, the
MP2639A operates in three different tricklecurrent charge modes: linear down mode,
switch down mode, and switch TC mode (see
Table 2).
Table 1: Operation MODE Table
1. Linear Down Mode: When VH < VL - 1V,
the QRB MOSFET works linearly to charge
the battery with the trickle charge current. At
this time, the pulse-width modulation (PWM)
block delivers the Q2 off signal and Q1 on
signal. The BST refresh block is still
disabled, so the Q1 MOSFET cannot be on.
When VH > VL - 1V, a 2.8μs BST refresh
window launches. In this window, the lowside Q2 MOSFET is turned on for 100ns
each cycle (1.3MHz). Whenever Q1 is set to
be on for 270μs, the 2.8μs BST refresh
window is launched again.

Internal Power Supply
The VCC output is used to power the internal
circuit and the MOSFET driver. This output is
supplied by the higher terminal voltage value of
VL or VH. After VL is set, the internal reference
voltage is set up during charge mode. In
discharge mode, VH is always higher than the
output voltage, so VCC is always comes from
VH when VH is higher than the under-voltage
lockout (UVLO).
Connect an external capacitor from VCC to
AGND. The VCC output current limit is 50mA.
Figure 3 shows the MODE selection and power
start-up flow chart in each mode.
Battery Current Monitor
The MP2639A has an IB pin to represent the
real battery current in both charge and
discharge mode. The current flowing out from
IB is proportional to the real battery current. An
external, precise, sense resistor can convert the
current signal to a voltage signal. Calculate the
IB voltage with Equation (1):
VIB
3 IBATT
RIB
400k
2. Switch Down Mode: When VH > VL 114mV, QRB is fully on, Q1 is turned off, Q2
is switching, and FSW is lowered to 280kHz.
3. Switch TC Mode: When VH > VL + 400mV,
QRB remains fully on, Q1 is turned off, Q2 is
switching, and FSW recovers to 1.3MHz.

Battery Charge Profile
The MP2639A provides three main charging
phases: trickle-current, constant-current charge,
and constant-voltage charge (see Figure 5).
VBATT_FULL
Battery Voltage
ICC
Charge Current
VBATT_LOW
ITC
IBF
Trickle charge
3. Phase 3 (constant-voltage charge): When
the battery voltage rises to the charge-full
voltage (VBATT_FULL), the charge current
begins to taper off. The charge cycle is
considered complete when the CV loop is
dominated, and the charge current reaches
the battery-full termination threshold. A
500μs force charge time is designed for
each charge cycle. After the 500μs force
charge time expires, the charge full signal is
allowed to assert.
CC Fast Charge Constant Voltage Charge
Charge Full
Figure 5: Battery Charge Profile
1. Phase 1 (trickle-current charge): When the
battery voltage is lower than VBATT_LOW, the
MP2639A applies a safe trickle-charge
current (ITC) to the deeply depleted battery
until the battery voltage reaches trickle
charge to the fast charge threshold
(VBATT_LOW). If VBATT_LOW is not reached
before the trickle-charge timer expires, the
charge
cycle
is
ceased,
and
a
corresponding timeout fault signal is
asserted. See the Safety Timer section on
page 21 for more detail.
2. Phase 2 (constant-current charge): When
the battery voltage exceeds VBATT_LOW, the
MP2639A stops the trickle-current charge
phase and enters constant-current charge
(fast charge) phase with a soft start. The
fast charge current can be programmed via
ISET.
If IBF is not reached before the safety charge
timer expires, the charge cycle is ceased,
and the corresponding timeout fault signal is
asserted. See the Safety Timer section for
more detail.
A new charge cycle starts when the following
conditions are valid:
The input power is re-plugged.
MODE is toggled from high to low.
No thermistor fault at NTC.
No safety timer fault.
No battery over-voltage.
Automatic Recharge
When the battery is fully charged and the
charging is terminated, the battery may be
discharged for system consumption or selfdischarge. The MP2639A starts a new charging
cycle automatically without requiring a manual
restart of a charging cycle.
Charge Current Setting
ISET is used to program the charge current.
The setting formula is shown in Equation (2):
ICHG
640(k)
(A)
3 RISET
(2)
Battery Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The MP2639A is designed with a built-in battery
over-voltage limit of 103.3% of VBATT_FULL. When
a battery over-voltage event occurs, the
MP2639A suspends the charging immediately.
Non-Sync Mode
When the input current at the VL side is lower
than 330mA, the MP2639A turns off Q1 and
switches to non-sync operation.

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
Safety Timer
The MP2639A uses an internal timer to
terminate the charging. The timer remains
active during the charging process. An external
capacitor between TMR and AGND programs
the charge cycle duration. An internal current
source charges and discharges the external
capacitor alternatively. When the voltage across
CTMR is lower than 0.7V, the internal current
source charges CTMR. Once the voltage
exceeds 1.5V, the internal current source
begins to discharge CTMR. As a result, the
voltage across CTMR oscillates between 0.7V
and 1.5V periodically, like a triangle wave.
There are two counter limits for the trickle
charge and total charge processes: 45056 for
trickle charge and 3407872 for CC and CV
charge. Once the counter reaches the
corresponding limit, the timer expires, and the
charging is suspended (see Figure 6).
Figure 6: Voltage Profile of TMR
In trickle-charge mode, the input trickle-charge
current is fixed at 300mA. The trickle-charge
time (τTC_TMR) is set using Equation (3):
TRICKLE_ TMR 33.7mins
CTMR (F)
0.1F
(3)
In CC and CV mode, the internal IOSC is
proportional to the reference of the inductor
current and is independent of the input current.
The total charge time (τTOTAL_TMR) is set using
Equation (4):
TOTAL _ TMR 6.05Hours
CTMR (F)
1A
0.1F
IL (A) 0.08
(4)
In the event of an NTC hot and cold fault, the
charging timer should be suspended. Once the
NTC fault is removed, the timer continues
counting from the value before an NTC fault.
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)
Thermistor
“Thermistor” is the generic name given to
thermally sensitive resistors. A negative
temperature coefficient thermistor is called a
thermistor, typically. Depending on the
manufacturing method and the structure, there
are many shapes and characteristics available
for various purposes. The thermistor resistance
values, unless otherwise specified, are
classified at a standard temperature of 25°C.
The resistance of a temperature is solely a
function of its absolute temperature.
The relationship between the resistance and
the absolute temperature of a thermistor is
shown in Equation (5):
R1 R2 e
1 1
T1 T2
(5)
Where R1 is the resistance at absolute
temperature T1, R2 is the resistance at
absolute temperature T2, and β is a constant
that depends on the material of the thermistor.
The
MP2639A
monitors
the
battery’s
temperature continuously by measuring the
voltage at NTC during charge mode. This
voltage is determined by the resistor divider,
whose ratio is produced by different resistances
of the NTC thermistor under different ambient
temperatures of the battery.
The MP2639A sets a pre-determined upper and
lower bound of the range internally. If the
voltage at NTC goes out of this range, then the
temperature is outside of the safe operating
limit. At this time, charging stops unless the
operating temperature returns to the safe range.
To satisfy the JEITA requirement, the MP2639A
monitors four temperature thresholds: 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). For a given
NTC thermistor, these temperatures correspond
to VCOLD, VCOOL, VWARM, and VHOT. When VNTC <
VHOT or VNTC > VCOLD, charging and the timers
are suspended. When VHOT < VNTC < VWARM, the
charge-full voltage (VBATT_FULL) is reduced by
140mV from the programmable threshold.

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
When VCOOL < VNTC < VCOLD, the charging
current is reduced to half of the programmed
charge current (see Figure 7).
Note: VNTC is the ratio of the voltage at NTC pin
and the voltage at VNTC pin.

Input Voltage-Based and Input CurrentBased Power Management
To meet the USB maximum current limit
specification and avoid overloading the adapter,
the MP2639A features both input current- and
input voltage-based power management by
monitoring the input current and input voltage
continuously. The total input current limit can be
programmed to prevent the input source from
overloading. When the input current reaches its
limit, the charge current tapers off to keep the
input current from increasing further. The input
current limit can be calculated with Equation (6):

Figure 7: JEITA-Compatible NTC Window
VNTC Output
VNTC is an input pin used to pull up both the
internal and external resistor dividers to the
same point (see Figure 8). VNTC is connected
to VCC via an internal switch. In charging mode,
the switch is turned on, and VNTC is connected
to VCC. In discharge mode, the switch is off,
and VNTC is bridged off from VCC.
(6)
If the preset input current limit is higher than the
rating at the adapter, the back-up input voltagebased power management also works to
prevent the input source from being overloaded.
When the input voltage falls below the input
voltage limit due to an overload, the charge
current is reduced to keep the input voltage
from dropping further.
The input voltage clamp threshold can be
programmed by VLIM. The internal reference of
the input voltage loop is 1.2V, so the input
voltage clamp limit can be calculated with
Equation (7):

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
-----
DISCHARGE MODE
Discharge Control
When MODE is configured high, discharge
mode is enabled. However, discharging can
only be enabled or disabled when the push
----button pin (PB ) is configured properly.
-----
A short push is defined as PB being pulled low
----for less than 2.5s. A long push is defined as PB
being pulled low for longer than 2.5s.
In the MP2639A, discharging is enabled only
when MODE is high and a short push is
detected. Discharging is disabled once MODE
is pulled low or a long push is detected.
Figure 9 shows the steps below.
1) Before t0, MODE is high, and discharging
has already been enabled. PBDIS is the
enable signal of the discharging. If PBDIS is
high, discharging is enabled. If PBDIS is low,
discharging is disabled.
2) During t0, PB is pulled low, and the 2.5s
----timer is reset. PB is released to high before
the 2.5s timer expires, so a short push is
detected. PBDIS remains high, and
discharging continues.
-----
3) During t1, PB is pulled low again, and the
----2.5s timer is reset. PB remains low until the
2.5s timer expires, so a long push is
detected. PBDIS is pulled low, and

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
-----
Since the MP2639A is in sleep mode, if PB is
pulled down to AGND for less than 2.5s (short
push), the IC enters discharge mode, and the
LEDs display the battery capacity. After 5s, the
LED pins switch to open drain automatically to
minimize the battery quiescent current. For the
LED to display the battery capacity, short push
----PB .
No-Load Automatic Shutdown
In discharge mode, the MP2639A monitors the
discharge current continuously. When the
discharge current (IBATT) is lower than 50mA,
discharging can be shut down after 20s
automatically (see Figure 10).

Output Over-Current Limit (OCL)
The MP2639A features an output over-current
limit (OCL), which can be programmed by the
resistor connected from OLIM to AGND. When
the output current flowing out from the VL node
exceeds the output over-current limit, the
MP2639A regulates the duty cycle to maintain
the output current at this limit, so the output
voltage drops accordingly. The output current
limit can be set using Equation (8):

Output Short-Circuit Protection (SCP)
The MP2639A monitors the VL voltage
continuously. If VL drops below 3.9V, an event
of the output short circuit is detected. The
MP2639A works in hiccup mode with 1.2ms
intervals, and the peak current limit of the highside switch is cut by half (see Figure 11).

Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The MP2639A has an internal, output, overvoltage protection (OVP). If the voltage at the
VL node is higher than 5.75V, and an external,
abnormal voltage is added or FB is pulled to
GND falsely, then the MP2639A disables the
discharge and turns off the QRB MOSFET.
When the output voltage returns to a safe level,
the MP2639A restarts the discharging.

MP2639A – SWITCH-MODE BATTERY CHARGER W/ BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION
Over-Discharge Control
The MP2639A has a battery over-discharge
control scheme to avoid over-discharging.
During discharging, the MP2639A shuts down
automatically when the battery voltage declines
to 5.75V, and the MP2639A recovers to
discharge when the battery voltage is over
6.28V.
Battery Cell Balance and Protection
The MP2639A provides battery cell balance
and protection for 2-cell applications. The
MP2639A senses the voltage across each cell.
If the two cell voltages are too different, the
balance function begins, and the internal
discharge circuit is turned on to decrease the
charge current of the cell with the higher
voltage. If the voltage across one of the cells
exceeds the battery OVP threshold, the
charging stops. If the two cell voltages are still
too different, the cell with the higher voltage
discharges to balance until the two cell voltages
match or the part recovers from OVP (120mV
lower than the OVP threshold) and recharges.
The MP2639A integrates the balance MOSFET
and control circuit (see Figure 12).

1. The balance block is only active when a
valid power source is present and charging
is enabled.(6)
2. At least one of the cell voltages is higher
than the balance starting voltage (typical
3.5V).
3. The voltage difference between the cells is
higher than the balance threshold (65mV).
NOTE:
6) The balance block is valid only while the charge function is
applied. If both the charge and discharge functions are
enabled, disable the balance block by connecting MID to
GND.
The MP2639A detects the cell with the lower
voltage (VCMIN) and checks the voltage
difference between each cell. If the differential
voltage is higher than the balance threshold
(65mV), the related balance MOSFET is turned
on, and the charge current of the cell with the
higher voltage is decreased.
The balancing action is suppressed if the higher
cell voltage is less than the cell-balance start
voltage (VCBST) or the cell-voltage measurement
is active.
In each balance cycle, the cell voltage
measures for about 200µs and balances for
about 200ms. Cell measurements are frozen
when the balance is ongoing.
The cell balance flow chart is shown in Figure
13.

Voltage-Based Fuel Gauge
The MP2639A integrates four comparators and
an open-drain circuit to indicate the fuel gauge
via four LEDs during both charge and discharge
mode (see Figure 14). The MP2639A compares
the battery voltage with four voltage references
to reveal the capacity of the battery, with four
options of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
