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 will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will 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.

MP2615 – 2A, 1- CELL OR 2- CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATION
The MP2615 is a peak current mode controlled
switching charger for 1- or 2- cell lithium-ion and
lithium-polymer battery. The MP2615 integrates
both the high-side and low-side switches of the
synchronous BUCK converter to provide high
efficiency and save on PCB area.
Charge Cycle (Mode change: TC CC CV)
The MP2615 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.
As shown in Figure 2, when the VBATT < VTC, the
MP2615 stays in trickle-charge mode and the
output of charge current loop COMPI dominates
the control. The battery is charged by a tricklecharge current ITC until the battery voltage
reaches VTC. If the charger stays in the tricklecharge mode till the trickle-charge timer is
triggered, charging will be terminated.
The MP2615 will enter constant-current charge
mode once the battery voltage rises higher than
VTC. In this mode the charge current will increase
from ITC to ICC to fast charge the battery.
When the battery voltage rises over full battery
voltage VBATT_FULL, the charger enters into
constant-voltage mode. In constant voltage mode,
the battery voltage is regulated at VBATT_FULL
precisely and the charge current will fall naturally
due to the existing equivalent internal resistance
of the battery. For the operation flow chart,
please also refer to Figure 4.

MP2615 – 2A, 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 will stop charging and the
CHGOK pin becomes open drain. The timer will
also be reset and turned off. Once the battery
voltage decreases below the recharge threshold
VRECH (4.0V/Cell while connect SEL-pin to AGND),
recharging will automatically kick in and the timer
restarts a new charge cycle.
COT Charge Mode
The MP2615 uses the floating ground method to
drive the high-side MOSFET of the buck
converter. During the off-time of the high-side
MOSFET, the BST capacitor is recharged and
the voltage across it is used as the HS-MOS gate
drive. Thus a minimum off-time 200ns is required
to maintain sufficient voltage at BST capacitor.
When200ns minimum off-time is achieved due to
large duty cycle, the MP2615 will enter COT
(constant off-time) charge mode. In this mode of
operation, switching frequency is slightly
decreased in order to achieve 99% duty cycle.
Charge Status Indication
The MP2615 has two open-drain status outputs,
CHGOK pin and ACOK pin. The ACOK pin
goes low when the input voltage is 300mV larger
than battery voltage and over the under voltage
lockout threshold. Pin CHGOK is used to indicate
the status of the charge cycle. Table 1
summarized the operation of both CHGOK and
ACOK according to the status of charge.

Safety Timer Operation
The MP2615 has an internal safety timer to
terminate charging during time out. The capacitor
CTMR connected between the TMR pin and GND
is used to set the internal oscillator period,
TP (seconds) 0.46 CTMR (uF)
(1)
This timer limits the max trickle charge time to
8192 internal oscillating periods. If the charger
stays in trickle charge mode for longer than the
max oscillating periods, it will be terminated and
the CHGOK becomes open drain to indicate the
timer-out fault. If charge cycle successfully goes
through trickle charge within the allowed time
limit, it enters into the CC charge mode and the
timer continues to count the oscillating periods.
When the battery is charged full, the timer turns
off and clears the counter, waiting for the autorecharge to restart.
If the charge time during CC/CV mode exceeds
49152 oscillating periods and the battery full has
not been qualified, the charger will be terminated
and a timer-out fault is also indicated by floating
the CHGOK . The charger can exit the timer-out
fault state and the on-chip safety timer restarts
counting when one of the following conditions
occurs:
The battery voltage falls below the autorecharge threshold VRECH.
A power-on-reset (POR) event occurs;
EN pin is toggled.
The timer can be disabled by pulling TMR-pin to
AGND.
Thus, the trickle mode charge time is:
t Trickle_tmr (minutes) 62.8 CTMR (uF)
(2)
If connect a CTMR of 0.47uF, the trickle charge
time is about 30 minutes.
The CC/CV mode charge time is:
t Total_tmr (hours) 6.28 CTMR (uF)
(3)
If connect a CTMR of 0.47uF, the CC/CV charge
time is 2.95 hours.

Negative
Thermal
Coefficient
(NTC)
Thermistor
The NTC pin allows the MP2615 to sense the
battery temperature using the Negative Thermal
Coefficient (NTC) resistor available in the battery
pack to ensure safe operating environment of the
battery. . A resistor with appropriate value should
be connected from VCC to NTC pin and the
thermistor is connected from NTC pin to AGND.
The voltage on the NTC-pin is determined by the
resistor divider whose divide-ratio depends on
the battery temperature. When the voltage at the
NTC pin 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 MP2615 will stop charging and
report this condition to the status pins. Charging
will automatically resume after the temperature
falls back within safe range.
Short Circuit Protection
The MP2615 has an internal comparator to check
for battery short circuit. Once 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 batteryshort transition. Furthermore, the switching
frequency also folds back to minimize the power
loss.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
To prevent the chip from overheating during
charging, the MP2615 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 the TJ falls
below 130°C the charging will restart.

Inductor Selection
To select the right inductor, a trade off should be
made between cost, size, and efficiency. An
inductor of lower inductance value corresponds
with smaller size, but it results in higher ripple
currents, higher magnetic hysteretic losses, and
higher output capacitances. Conversely, higher
inductance value is beneficial to getting a lower
ripple current and smaller output filter capacitors,
but resulting 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 MP2615 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).
Inductance estimations are as follow:

Accordingly, the trickle charge current (ITC) can
be obtained by the following equation,

The thermistor (NCP18XH103) noted above has
the following electrical characteristic:
At 0°C, RNTC_Cold = 27.445kΩ;
At 50°C, RNTC_Hot = 4.1601kΩ.
The following equations are derived assuming
that the NTC window is between 0°C and 50°C:

For a given ICC = 2A, VTC = 6V, 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.
Use ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R
dielectrics because of their low ESR and small
temperature coefficients. For most applications,
use a 22µF capacitor.

We can then approximate this value and

PCB Layout Guide
PCB layout is important to meet specified noise,
efficiency and stability requirements. The
following design considerations can improve
circuit performance,
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 away from the
feedback network.
2) Connect the charge current sense
resistor to CSP (pin 10), BATT (pin 9).
Minimize the length and area of this
circuit loop.
3) Place the input capacitor as close as
possible to the VIN and PGND pins.
Place the output inductor close to the IC
as 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.
4) Connect AGND and PGND at a single
point.
5) Figure 6 is a PCB layout reference
design.
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 lower
ESR and smaller size.. The output voltage
ripple is given by,

(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 = 18V, VCC_MIN = VTC =6V, L = 6.8µH,
fS = 760kHz, ∆rO_MAX = 0.1%, the output
capacitor can be calculated as,
