DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP26121 is a linear, high-performance
single cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery charger. By
integrating high voltage input protection into the
charger IC, the MP26121 can tolerate an input
surge up to +28V.

The device features constant current (CC) and
constant voltage (CV) charging modes with
programmable charge currents (200mA to 1A),
current blocking, and trickle charge. The device
also provides fault and charge status
indications to the system.
For guaranteed safe operation, the MP26121
reduces charge current when the device
reaches high temperature (due to limited PCB
space). Other safety features include battery
temperature monitoring and programmable
timer to complete the charging cycle.
The MP26121 is available in 10-pin 3mm x
3mm QFN packages.

MP26121 – +28V, 1A Li+ Linear Batt Charger with Flexible NTC Interface
OPERATION
Input Voltage Range
The MP26121 has built-in input voltage surge
protection as high as +28V. The charger IC will
be automatically disabled when the input
voltage is lower than 3.0V or higher than 7.0V.
The open-drain pin ACOK is used to indicate
an input power good condition (i.e.
3.0V
CV)
Figure 2 shows the typical charging profile for
the MP26121. For a fully depleted battery with a
terminal voltage lower than 2.6V, the MP26121
will
start
with
the
trickle
charge
(preconditioning) at 10% of the full charge
current based on the value of RCHG. If the
charger stays in trickle mode longer than 32768
cycles, CHG becomes high impedance,
indicating a battery fault. After the battery
voltage reaches 2.6V, the charger begins
charging using the programmed charge current
(ICHG).This is referred to as Constant Current
(CC) mode. Once the battery voltage reaches
4.2V, the charger will operate in the constant
voltage (CV) mode until the battery is fully
charged. The charge current drops during CV
mode, and the battery full indication is set when
the charge current is reduced to 10% of the
programmed constant current value (ICHG). The
charge process is then terminated. Recharge
will start after the battery voltage is reduced to
4.0V. After 262144 cycles of continuous
charging, if the battery still has not reached
10% of the ICHG condition, the on-chip timer will
terminate the charger to prevent charging the
dead battery excessively and the fault condition
will be flagged by flashing the CHG LED.
Charge Termination
The charge current will gradually decrease in
CV mode as the battery approaches full. The
MP26121 Rev. 0.9
9/15/2008
battery full threshold is internally programmed
to be 10% of the ICHG. When the charge current
reaches this threshold, the charger IC will be
automatically turned off.
Figure 2—MP26121 Typical Charging Profile
Automatic Recharge
When VBATT drops to 4.0V, the charger will
automatically restart the charge cycle until the
10% ICHG condition is met again. When the input
adapter is unplugged, or the charger is disabled
and/or terminated, the leakage current from the
battery to the MP26121 is less than 1uA.
Programming of Charge Current and Battery
Full Current
The charge current (ICHG) is set by a resistor
(RCHG) connected from the ISET pin to GND.
The relationship between the charge current
and the programming resistance is established
by the following table and graph.

Timer Operation
The TMR pin is used to set the internal
µF
. The
oscillator frequency, FOSC = 11Hz ×
CTMR
on-chip timer will start to count down after initial
power-up or every time it is enabled. This timer
will limit the max trickle-charge time to 32768
internal oscillating cycles. If the charger stays in
trickle mode for longer than 32768 cycles, it will
be terminated and a fault will be set by floating
CHG pin. After fault reporting, the charger can
be re-initiated only by recycling the power
supply or SHDN signal. If the charger
successfully goes through trickle charge within
the allowed time limit, it will start CC charging
and then CV charging. If the total charge time
exceeds 262144 cycles and the battery full has
not been qualified, the charger will be
terminated and a fault will also be set by
flashing CHG pin at the rate of half the internal
oscillation frequency. This function prevents
charging a dead battery for prolonged duration.
The timer function can be disabled by shorting
TMR to ground.
