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.

MP2615A – 2 A, 1- CELL OR 2- CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATION
The MP2615A is a peak current mode controlled
switching charger for 1- or 2- cell lithium-ion and
lithium-polymer
batteries.
The
MP2615A
integrates both the high-side and low-side
switches of the synchronous buck converter to
provide high efficiency and save space on the
PCB.
Charge Cycle (Mode Change: TCÆ CCÆ CV)
The MP2615A regulates the charge current (ICHG)
and battery voltage (VBATT) using two control
loops. This achieves highly-accurate constant
current (CC) charge and constant voltage (CV)
charge.
As shown in Figure 2, when the VBATT < VTC, the
MP2615A stays in trickle-charge mode, and the
output of the charge current loop (COMPI)
dominates the control. The battery is charged by
a trickle-charge current (ITC) until the battery
voltage reaches VTC. If the charger stays in the
trickle-charge mode until the trickle-charge timer
is triggered, charging will be terminated.
The MP2615A enters constant-current charge
mode once the battery voltage rises higher than
VTC. In this mode, the charge current increases
from ITC to ICC to fast charge the battery.
When the battery voltage rises over the full
battery voltage (VBATT_FULL), the charger enters
constant-voltage mode. In constant-voltage mode,
the battery voltage is regulated at VBATT_FULL
precisely, and the charge current decreases
naturally due to the existing equivalent internal
resistance of the battery. For the operation flow
chart, please refer to Figure 4.

MP2615A – 2 A, 1- CELL OR 2- CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
Charge Full Termination and Auto-Recharge
When the charge current drops below the
termination threshold (IBF) during the CV charge
phase, the charger stops charging and CHGOK
becomes an open drain. Also, the timer is re-set
and turns off. Once the battery voltage decreases
below the recharge threshold (VRECH), recharging
kicks in automatically, and the timer re-starts a
new charge cycle.
COT Charge Mode
The MP2615A uses the floating ground method
to drive the high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) of the
buck converter. During the HS-FET off time, the
BST capacitor is recharged, and the voltage
across the BST capacitor is used as the HS-FET
gate drive. Thus a minimum off-time (200ns) is
required to maintain sufficient voltage at the BST
capacitor.
When the 200ns minimum off-time is achieved,
due to a large duty cycle, the MP2615A enters
constant off-time (COT) charge mode. In this
mode of operation, the switching frequency is
decreased slightly in order to achieve a 99% duty
cycle.
Charge Status Indication
The MP2615A has two open-drain status outputs:
CHGOK and ACOK . ACOK goes low when the
input voltage is 300 mV larger than the battery
voltage, and it rises above the under-voltage
lockout threshold. CHGOK indicates the status of
the charge cycle. Table 1 summarizes the
operation of both CHGOK and ACOK according
to the charging status.

Safety Timer Operation
The MP2615A has an internal safety timer to
terminate charging during time out. The capacitor
(CTMR) connected between TMR and GND is
used to set the internal oscillator period. See
Equation (1):
TP (seconds) = 0.46 × CTMR (uF)
(1)
This timer limits the maxium trickle charge time to
8192 internal oscillating periods. If the charger
stays in trickle-charge mode for longer than the
maximum oscillating periods, it is terminated.
CHGOK becomes an open drain to indicate the
timer-out fault. If the charge cycle goes through
the trickle charge successfully within the allowed
time limit, it enters CC charge mode, and the
timer continues to count the oscillating periods.
When the battery is fully charged, the timer turns
off and clears the counter, waiting for the autorecharge to re-start.
If the charge time during the CC/CV modes
exceed 49152 oscillating periods, and the battery
full has not been qualified, the charger is
terminated, and a timer-out fault is indicated by
floating CHGOK . The charger exits the timer-out
fault state, and the on-chip safety timer re-starts
counting when the following conditions occur:
•
The battery voltage falls below the autorecharge threshold (VRECH);
•
•
a power-on-reset (POR) event occurs;
EN is toggled.
The timer can be disabled by pulling TMR to
AGND.
Thus, the trickle mode charge time is calculated
using Equation (2):
t Trickle_tmr (minutes) = 62.8 × CTMR (uF)
(2)
If a CTMR (0.47uF) is connected, the trickle charge
time is about 30 minutes.
The CC/CV mode charge time is calculated with
Equation (3):
t Total_tmr (hours) = 6.28 × CTMR (uF)
(3)
If a CTMR (0.47 uF) is connected, the CC/CV
charge time is 2.95 hours.

Negative
Thermal
Coefficient
(NTC)
Thermistor
NTC allows the MP2615A to sense the battery
temperature using an negative thermal coefficient
(NTC) resistor. This resistor is available in the
battery pack to ensure a safe operating
environment for the battery. A resistor with an
appropriate value should be connected from VCC
to NTC, and the thermistor should be connected
from NTC to AGND. The voltage on NTC is
determined by the resistor divider whose divideratio depends on the battery temperature. When
the voltage at NTC falls out of the NTC window
range, the charging will pause until the battery
temperature goes back to normal operating
conditions.
As a result, the MP2615A stops charging and
reports this condition to the status pins. Charging
resumes automatically after the temperature falls
back within safe range.
Short-Circuit Protection
The MP2615A has an internal comparator to
check for a battery short circuit. Once VBATT falls
below 2 V, the device detects a battery-short
status, and the cycle-by-cycle peak current limit
falls to about 2.2 A to limit the current spike
during the battery-short transition. Also, the
switching frequency folds back to minimize the
power loss.
Thermal Shutdown Protection (TSD)
To prevent the chip from overheating during
charging, the MP2615A monitors the junction
temperature (TJ), of the die. Once TJ reaches the
thermal shutdown threshold (TSHTDWN) of 150°C,
the charger converter turns off. Once TJ falls
below 130°C the charging re-starts.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Charge Current Setting
The constant charge current (ICC) of the
MP2615A can be set by the sense resistor RS1
(see Typical Application). The equation to
determine the programmable CC charge current
is expressed in Equation (4):
ICC =
100mV
(A)
RS1(m Ω )
(4)
To get 2 A ICC, a RS1 of 50 mΩ should be
selected.
Accordingly, the trickle-charge current (ITC) can
be obtained using Equation (5):
ITC = 10%ICC =
10mV
(A)
RS1(m Ω )
(5)
Inductor Selection
To select the right inductor, a trade off should be
made between cost, size, and efficiency. An
inductor with a lower inductance value
corresponds with smaller size, but it results in
higher ripple currents, higher magnetic hysteretic
losses, and higher output capacitances.
Conversely, a higher inductance value is
beneficial to getting a lower ripple current and
smaller output filter capacitors. However, this
results in higher inductor DC resistance (DCR)
loss. Based on practical experience, the inductor
ripple current should not exceed 30% of the
maximum charge current under worst cases. For
the MP2615A with a typical 12 V input voltage to
charge a 2-cell battery, the maximum inductor
current ripple occurs at the corner point between
the trickle charge and the CC charge
(VBATT = 6 V). Inductance estimations are
calculated with Equation (6):
L=
VIN - VBATT VBATT
ΔIL_MAX VIN ⋅ fS
(6)
Where VIN, VBATT, and fS are the typical input
voltage, the CC charge threshold, and the
switching frequency, respectively. And ΔIL_MAX is
the maximum inductor ripple current, which is
usually 30% of the CC charge current. See
Equation (7):
ΔIL_MAX = 30%ICC
(7)
Based on the condition where ICC = 2 A,
VIN = 12 V, VBATT = 6 V, and fs = 760 kHz, the
calculated inductance is 6.6 µH. The inductor
saturation current must exceed at least 2.6 A and
have some tolerance. To optimize efficiency,
chose an inductor with a DC resistance less than
50 mΩ.
NTC Resistor Divider Selection
Figure 5 shows that an internal resistor divider is
used to set the low temperature threshold at
29.3%·VCC and the high temperature threshold
at 73.3%·VCC, respectively. For a given NTC
thermistor, select the appropriate RT1 and RT2 to
set the NTC window.

Figure 5—NTC function block
The thermistor (NCP18XH103) noted above has
the following electrical characteristics:
•
At 0°C, RNTC_Cold = 27.445 kΩ;
•
At 50°C, RNTC_Hot = 4.1601kΩ.
Equation (8) and Equation (9) are derived
assuming that the NTC window is between 0°C
and 50°C:
RT2 //RNTC_Cold
VTH_Low
(8)
=
= 73.3%
RT1 + RT2 //RNTC_Cold VREF33
RT2//RNTC_Hot
RT1 + RT2 //RNTC_Hot
=
VTH_High
VREF33
= 29.3%
(9)
Calculate RT1 and RT2 according to Equation (8)
and Equation (9) and the required battery
temperature range.

MP2615A – 2 A, 1- CELL OR 2- CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor C1 from the typical
application circuit absorbs the maximum ripple
current from the buck converter, which is given
by Equation (10):
IRMS_MAX = ICC
VTC (VIN_MAX − VTC )
VIN_MAX
(10)
For a given ICC = 2 A, and VTC = 6 V when
VIN_MAX = 12 V (the duty is 0.5), the maximum
ripple current is 1 A. Select the input capacitors
so that the temperature rise due to the ripple
current does not exceed 10°C. Use ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics because
of their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. For most applications, use a 22 µF
capacitor. A small, high-quality ceramic capacitor
(i.e. 1.0 μF) should be placed as close to the IC
as possible from VIN to PGND.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor C2 (see the typical
application circuit) is in parallel with the battery.
C2 absorbs the high-frequency switching ripple
current and smoothes the output voltage. Its
impedance must be much less than that of the
battery to ensure it absorbs the ripple current.
Use a ceramic capacitor because it has a lower
ESR and smaller size. The output voltage ripple
is given by Equation (11):
VO
ΔVO
VIN
=
ΔrO =
2
VO
8CO fS L
1-
(11)
In order to guarantee ±0.5% full battery voltage
accuracy, the maximum output voltage ripple
must not exceed 0.5% (e.g., 0.1%). The
maximum output voltage ripple occurs at the
minimum battery voltage of the CC charge and
the maximum input voltage.
For VIN_MAX = 18 V, VCC_MIN = VTC =6 V, L = 6.8 µH,
fS = 760 kHz, ∆rO_MAX = 0.1%, the output
capacitor can be calculated using Equation (12):
1CO =
VTC
VIN_MAX
8fs2LΔrO_MAX
= 21.3μF
(12)
We can then approximate this value and choose
a 22 µF ceramic capacitor.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical to meet specified
noise, efficiency, and stability requirements. For
optimum performance, refer to Figure 6 and
follow the design considerations below:
1) Route the power stage adjacent to the
grounds. Aim to minimize the high-side
switching node (SW, inductor), trace
lengths in the high-current paths, and the
current-sense resistor trace. Keep the
switching node short and far away from
the feedback network.
2) Connect the charge current-sense resistor
to CSP (pin 10) and BATT (pin 9).
Minimize the length and area of this circuit
loop.
3) Place the input capacitor as close as
possible to VIN and PGND. Place the
output inductor close to the IC and
connect the output capacitor between the
inductor and PGND of the IC. This
minimizes the current path loop area from
SW through the LC filter and back to
PGND.
4) Connect AGND and PGND at a single
point.
