Description
Switch output.
Power supply voltage.
Coarse regulator output. Internally generated 4.5V. Bypass VCC with a 1µF capacitor to
AGND. VCC can be used as a low-side switch driver and a pull-up bias voltage NTC
resistor divider. Do not connect any external load to VCC.
Command input for the number of Li-ion cells. Connect this pin to VCC for single-cell
applications. Float the CELL pin or short it to AGND for dual-cell applications.
Input pin for setting terminal battery voltage. If SEL is pulled low or floating, VBATT is
4.2V/cell. If SEL is pulled high, VBATT is 4.1V/cell.
On/off control input. This pin is pulled to GND with a 1MΩ internal resistor. It is
recommended to connect a 100kΩ resistor in series with the EN pin.
No connection. Leave this pin floating.
Analog ground.
Positive battery terminal.
Battery current-sense positive input. Connect a resistor (RS1) between CSP and BATT.
Charging completion indicator. When this pin goes logic low, the device is charging. The
CHGOK pin becomes an open drain once the charge is completed or suspended.
Valid input supply indicator. A logic low on this pin indicates the presence of a valid input
ACOK power supply.
Thermistor input. Connect a resistor from this pin to the VCC pin. Connect the thermistor
NTC
from this pin to ground.
Internal safety timer control. Connect a capacitor from this node to AGND to set the
TMR
timer. Disable the timer by connecting this pin directly to AGND.
Bootstrap pin. Use a capacitor to drive the power switch’s gate above the supply voltage.
BST
The capacitor should be connected between the SW and BST pins to form a floating supply
across the power switch driver.
PGND Power ground.

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 P D
(MAX) = (TJ (MAX) - TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation can cause excessive die
temperature, and the regulator may 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.

MP2615C – 2.1A, 1-CELL OR 2-CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATION
The MP2615C is a peak current mode control
switching charger for single-cell or dual-cell Li-ion
and Li-polymer batteries. The MP2615C
integrates both the high-side and low-side
MOSFETs of the synchronous buck converter to
provide high efficiency and reduce PCB size.
Charge Cycle (Mode Change: TC to CC to CV)
The MP2615C regulates the charge current (ICHG)
and battery voltage (VBATT) using two control
loops to achieve highly accurate constant current
(CC) charge and constant voltage (CV) charge.
If VBATT is below VTC, the MP2615C remains in
trickle charge mode, and the output of the charge
current loop (COMPI) dominates the control (see
Figure 2). The battery is charged by a trickle
charge current (ITC) until the battery voltage
reaches VTC. If the charger remains in trickle
charge mode until the trickle charge timer is
triggered, charging is terminated.
The MP2615C enters CC charge mode once the
battery voltage exceeds VTC. In this mode, the
charge current increases from ITC to ICC to fast
charge the battery.
If the battery voltage exceeds the battery-full
voltage (VBATT_FULL), the charger enters CV mode.
In CV mode, the battery voltage is regulated at
VBATT_FULL, and the charge current falls naturally
due to the existing equivalent internal resistance
of the battery. Figure 4 shows an operation
flowchart.

Figure 2: Li-Ion Battery Charge Profile
Charge Full Termination and Auto-Recharge
If the charge current drops below the
termination threshold (IBF) during the CV charge
phase, the charger stops charging and the
CHGOK pin becomes an open drain. The timer
resets and turns off. Once the battery voltage
drops below the recharge threshold (VRECH)
(4.0V/cell while the SEL pin is connected to
AGND), recharging automatically begins and
the timer restarts a new charge cycle.
Constant-Off-Time (COT) Charge Mode
The MP2615C uses the floating ground method
to drive the buck converter’s high-side MOSFET
(HS-FET). While the HS-FET is off, the BST
capacitor is recharged, and the voltage across
the capacitor is used as the HS-FET’s gate
driver. Thus a minimum off time of 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 MP2615C enters
constant-off-time (COT) charge mode. In this
mode, the switching frequency is slightly
reduced to achieve a 99% duty cycle.
Charge Status Indication
The MP2615C has two open-drain status
outputs: the CHGOK and ACOK pins. The
ACOK pin goes low when the input voltage
exceeds the battery voltage and the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold by 300mV.
The CHGOK pin indicates the status of the
charge cycle.
Table 1 lists the operation for both CHGOK and

If CTMR is 0.47µF, the trickle charge time is
about 30 minutes. The CC/CV mode charge
time can be calculated with Equation (3):
t TOTAL_TMR (hours) = 6.28 CTMR (F)
EN disabled
Thermal shutdown
VIN absent
VIN - VBATT < 0.3V
(1)
This timer limits the maximum trickle charge
time to 8192 internal oscillating periods. If the
charger remains in trickle charge mode for
longer than the maximum oscillating periods,
charging is terminated and CHGOK becomes
an open drain to indicate a timeout fault. If the
charge cycle successfully completes trickle
charge 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 auto-recharge to restart.
If the charge time during CC/CV mode exceeds
49152 oscillating periods, and the battery-full
condition has not been met, charging is
terminated and a timeout fault is indicated by
floating the CHGOK pin. The charger can exit
the timeout fault state (and restart the on-chip
safety timer) when one of the following
conditions occurs:
•
•
•
(3)
In this case, if CTMR is 0.47µF, the CC/CV
charge time is 2.95 hours.
Safety Timer Operation
The MP2615C has an internal safety timer to
terminate charging during timeout. The
capacitor (CTMR) connected between the TMR
pin and GND is used to set the internal
oscillator period, calculated with Equation (1):
tP (seconds) = 0.46 CTMR (F)
(2)
The battery voltage falls below the autorecharge threshold (VRECH)
A power-on reset (POR) event occurs

The timer can be disabled by pulling the TMR
pin to AGND.
Negative
Thermal
Coefficient
(NTC)
Thermistor
The NTC pin allows the MP2615C to sense the
battery temperature using the negative thermal
coefficient (NTC) resistor in the battery pack.
This ensures a safe operating environment for
the battery. A resistor with an appropriate value
should be connected from the VCC pin to the
NTC pin, and the thermistor should be
connected from the NTC pin to AGND. The
voltage on the NTC pin is determined by the
resistor divider, which has a divide ratio that
depends on the battery temperature. When the
voltage at the NTC pin falls out of the NTC
window range, charging pauses until the battery
temperature returns to within the normal
operating range.
As a result, the MP2615C stops charging and
reports this condition to the status pins.
Charging automatically resumes after the
temperature returns to within a safe range.
Short-Circuit Protection
The MP2615C has an internal comparator to
check for battery short-circuit conditions. If
VBATT falls below 2V, the device detects a
battery short status, and the cycle-by-cycle
peak current limit falls to about 2.2A to limit the
current spike during the battery short transition.
The switching frequency also folds back to
minimize the power loss.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
To prevent the chip from overheating while it
charges, the MP2615C monitors the junction
temperature (TJ) of the die. If TJ reaches the
thermal shutdown threshold (TSHTDWN) of 150°C,
the charger converter turns off. Once TJ falls
below 130°C, charging resumes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Charge Current Setting
The MP2615C’s constant charge current (ICC)
can be set via the sense resistor (RS1) (see the
Typical Application Circuit section on page 18).
Calculate the constant current (CC) charge with
Equation (4):
ICC =
52.5mV
(A)
RS1(m)
(4)
If VBATT = 6V and fSW = 760kHz, the calculated
inductance is 6.6µH. The inductor saturation
current must exceed 2.6A and have some
tolerance. To optimize efficiency, choose an
inductor with a DC resistance below 50mΩ.
NTC Resistor Divider Selection
Figure 5 shows how an internal resistor divider
sets the cold temperature threshold and hot
temperature threshold at 73.3% of VCC and
31.1% of VCC, respectively.
If ICC is 2.1A, choose RS1 to be 25mΩ.
The trickle charge current
estimated with Equation (5):
(ITC)
ITC = 0.10 ICC

(5)
Selecting the Inductor
To select the optimal inductor, a tradeoff should
be made between cost, size, and efficiency. An
inductor with a lower-value inductance has the
benefit of a smaller size, but also has higher
ripple currents, magnetic hysteretic losses, and
output capacitance. Conversely, a higher-value
inductor lowers the ripple current and allows for
the use of smaller output filter capacitors, but it
also 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 the worst-case
conditions. For the MP2615C, with a typical
12V input voltage to charge a 2-cell battery, the
maximum inductor current ripple occurs at the
corner point between trickle charge and CC
charge (VBATT = 6V). The inductance can be
calculated with Equation (6):
L=
VIN -VBATT VBATT
ΔIL_MAX VIN fSW
(6)
The thermistor (NCP18XH103) in Figure 5 has
the following electrical characteristics:
•
•
At 0°C, RNTC_COLD = 27.445kΩ
At 50°C, RNTC_HOT = 4.1601kΩ
For a given NTC thermistor, select values for
RT1 and RT2 to set the NTC window. Assuming
that the NTC window is between 0°C and 50°C,
the cold and hot thresholds can be calculated
with Equation (8) and Equation (9), respectively:
RT2 //RNTC_COLD
RT1 + RT2 //RNTC_COLD
RT2 //RNTC_HOT
RT1 + RT2 //RNTC_HOT
Where VIN is the input voltage, VBATT is the CC
charge threshold, and fSW is the switching
frequency.
∆IL_MAX is the maximum inductor ripple
current, which is usually 30% of the CC charge
current, calculated with Equation (7):
ΔIL_MAX = 0.30 ICC
Figure 5: NTC Functional Block
(7)
= VCOLD = 73.3%
(8)
= VHOT = 31.1%
(9)
The required battery temperature range can be
paired with Equation (8) and Equation (9) to
calculate RT1 and RT2.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
The input capacitors (C1) from the typical
application circuit absorb the maximum ripple
current from the buck converter, which can be

estimated with Equation (10):
IRMS_MAX = ICC
VTC (VIN_MAX − VTC )
VIN_MAX
1CO =
(10)
8 fsW 2 L RO_MAX
= 21.3F
(12)
In this case, choose a 22µF ceramic capacitor.
If ICC = 2A, VTC = 6V, and VIN_MAX = 18V, the
maximum ripple current is 1A. Select the input
capacitors so that the temperature rise due to
the ripple current does not exceed 10°C. It is
recommended to use ceramic capacitors with
X5R or X7R dielectrics because of their low
ESR and small temperature coefficients. For
most applications, use a 22µF capacitor.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Proper PCB layout is important to meet
specified noise, efficiency and stability
requirements. For the best results, refer to
Figure 6 and follow the guidelines below:
1. Route the power stage adjacent to the
grounds.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The output capacitor (C2) is in parallel with the
battery. C2 absorbs the high-frequency
switching ripple current and smooths the output
voltage. Its impedance must be below the
battery’s to ensure it absorbs the ripple current.
Use a ceramic capacitor because it has a lower
ESR and smaller size. The output voltage ripple
can be calculated with Equation (11):
VO
VO
VIN
ΔRO =
=
VO
8 CO fSW 2 L
VTC
VIN_MAX
2. Aim to minimize the high-side switching
node (SW, inductor) trace lengths in the
high-current paths and the current-sense
resistor trace.
3. Keep the switching node short, and route it
away from the feedback network.
4. Connect the charge current-sense resistor to
CSP (pin 10) and BATT (pin 9). Minimize the
length and area of this circuit loop.
1-
5. Place the input capacitor as close as
possible to the VIN and PGND pins.
(11)
6. Place the output inductor as close as
possible to the IC, and connect the output
capacitor between the inductor and PGND
of the IC. This minimizes the current path
loop area from the SW pin through the LC
filter and back to the PGND pin.
To guarantee u0.5% battery-full voltage
accuracy, the maximum output voltage ripple
should 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.
7. Connect AGND and PGND at a single point.
If VIN_MAX = 18V, VCC_MIN = VTC = 6V, L = 6.8µH,
fSW = 760kHz, and ∆RO_MAX = 0.1%, the output
capacitor can be calculated with Equation (12):
