MP2617H
Wide input Voltage, 3A, Switching Charger
With NVDC Power Path Management
For Single Cell Li+ Battery
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2617H is a monolithic, switch-mode,
battery charger with power path management for
single-cell Li-ion batteries in a wide range of
tablets and other portable devices. The
MP2617H integrates a synchronous buck
regulator that provides regulated voltage to
power the system output and charge the battery
simultaneously. The MP2617H supports both
USB and high-power DC adapter inputs. In USB
mode, the input current limit can be programmed
to 450mA or 825mA via the logic pins to cover
USB2.0 and USB3.0 specifications. When the
adapter input is present, the input current can
also be limited to avoid overloading the DC
adapter. The input current limit can be
programmed up to 3A.
Smart power path management allows the
MP2617H to regulate the system voltage for
powering an external load and charging the
battery independently and simultaneously. This
allows for immediate system operation, even
under missing or deeply discharged battery
conditions. When the input current limit is
reached, the system load is satisfied first, and
then the charger uses the remaining current to
charge the battery. Additionally, the smart power
path control allows for an internal connection
from the battery to the system to supplement
additional power to the load in the event the
system power demand increases over the inputlimited power or the input is removed.
The MP2617H features high integration with all
power switches integrated internally. No external
MOSFET, blocking diode, or current sense
resistor is required.

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.

MP2617H – SINGLE-CELL SWITCHING CHARGER WITH NVDC POWER PATH
OPERATION
The MP2617H is a switching charger IC with
integrated, smart, power path management for
powering the system and charging a single-cell
battery independently and simultaneously.
The MP2617H includes an input DC/DC stepdown converter for a wide range of DC sources
and USB inputs. The MP2617H has a precision
average input current limit to make maximum
use of the allowable input power. This feature
allows for fast charging when the charger is
powered from a USB port and ensures that the
input current never exceeds the input power
specification. Additionally, the input current limit
threshold can be programmed by the logic inputs
or a resistor from ILIM to ground.
The MP2617H implements an on-chip 40mΩ
MOSFET, which works as a full-featured linear
charger with trickle charge, high-accuracy,
constant-current (CC) charge and constantvoltage (CV) charge, charge termination, autorecharge, NTC monitor, built-in timer control,
charge status indication, and thermal protection.
The charge current can be programmed by an
external resistor connected from ISET to AGND.
The IC limits the charge current when the die
temperature exceeds thermal regulation
threshold.
The 40mΩ MOSFET works as an ideal diode to
connect the battery to the system load when the
input power is not enough to power the system
load. When the input is removed, the 40mΩ
MOSFET is turned on, allowing the battery to
power up the system.
With smart power path management, the system
load is satisfied first, and the remaining current
is used to charge the battery. The MP2617H
reduces the charging current or uses power from
the battery to satisfy the system load when its
demand is over the input power capacity.
DC/DC Step-Down Converter
The DC/DC converter is a 1.6MHz, step-down,
switching regulator to provide input power to
SYS, which drives the combination of the system
load and battery charger. The regulator contains
an input current measurement and control
scheme to ensure that the average input current
remains below the level programmed via ILIM or
the logic inputs (M0 and M1). This ensures
compliance with the USB specifications and
prevents overloading the wall adapter.
When the input voltage is higher than the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold and 280mV
higher than the battery voltage, the input voltage
——————
OK signal is active (ACOK becomes low), and
the DC/DC converter soft starts. The input power
is sufficient for supplying the combination of the
system load and battery charger, and the input
current limit loop is not triggered. The converter
output voltage (VSYS) is regulated.
If BATT is greater than 3.4V, VSYS is
approximately 0.2V above the battery voltage to
minimize the power loss of the battery charger
during fast charging. If BATT is less than 3.4V,
VSYS is fixed at 3.6V to power the system
immediately, even when a drained battery is
inserted to be charged (see Figure 2).
The system voltage can also be regulated to any
value between 4.08V to 4.4V in the MP2617H by
using a resistor divider on SYSFB (see R6 and
R7 in Figure 10). If SYSFB is left floating, the
system program is invalid, and VSYS is regulated
according to BATT voltage (see Figure 2).
The converter adopts a fixed off-time control to
extend the duty cycle (close to 100%) when the
input of the converter is close to VSYS.

MP2617H – SINGLE-CELL SWITCHING CHARGER WITH NVDC POWER PATH
At near-100% duty operation, the BST refresh
operation ensures that the driver voltage of the
high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) is charged by
turning on the low-side MOSFET (LS-FET) until
the negative inductor current (IL) reaches a
threshold.
If the input power is insufficient for supplying the
combination of the system load and battery
charger, the DC/DC converter limits the total
power requirement by restricting the input
voltage, input current, and peak current through
the MOSFET. The power path management
reduces the charge current to satisfy the external
system load first. According to this feature, the
USB specification is always satisfied first, even if
the charge current is set higher than the USB
input current limit, and the real charge current is
reduced as needed.
Input Limit State
If the input power is insufficient for supplying the
combination of the system load and battery
charger, the MP2617H implements three input
limit control loops to reduce the charge current
and satisfy the external system load first. The
input in this case might be limited with either
input current limit, input voltage limit, or DC/DC
peak current limit.
1. Input-Current Limit: When the input current is
higher than the programmed input current
limit, the input current limit loop takes the
control of the converter and regulates the
input current at a constant value. If the
battery voltage is over 3.4V, the output
voltage (VSYS) drops down according to the
increase of the system current, and the
charge current drops down after the BATTto-SYS switch (40mΩ MOSFET) is fully on
according to VSYS dropping down. During this
process, the system voltage is slightly higher
than VBATT. If the battery voltage is lower than
3.4V, to maintain the minimum system
voltage and ensure system operation, the
input current limit control pulls down the
charge current directly o reduce the load of
the converter so the system current is
satisfied first. Input-Voltage Limit: A resistor
divider from IN to VLIM to AGND is used for
input voltage limit control. When the voltage
on VLIM reaches the 1.52V reference
voltage, the output of the input voltage limit
error amplifier drops to control the operation
duty. In this mode, the input voltage is
clamped according to the value set by the
resistor divider. The control to the system
voltage and charge current is the same as
the input current limit control. The charge
current drops down to satisfy the system
current request first. This feature provides a
second protection to the input power and
ensures safe operation of the input adapter.
Even if the wrong adapter is inserted, the
MP2617H can continue operating, providing
the maximum power to its load. The input
voltage limit value can be programmed
through the resistor divider from IN to VLIM
to AGND.
2. Peak-Current Limit: The peak current of the
high-side switch of the DC/DC converter is
sensed during every cycle and is compared
to the 4.8A reference. If the peak current
reaches the threshold, peak-current limit
mode is triggered. The control of the charge
current is the same as the input current limit
and input voltage limit.
Input Current Limit Setting
The ILIM current is a precise fraction of the
adapter input current. When a programming
resistor is connected from ILIM to AGND, the
voltage on ILIM represents the average input
current of the pulse-width modulation (PWM)
converter. The input current approaches the
programmed limit, and the ILIM voltage reaches
1.14V.
The average input current limit can be set
through the resistor connected from ILIM to
AGND according to Equation (1):
IIN_LIM =1.14
40000
(mA)
RILIM (kΩ)
(1)
When connected to a USB power source, the
input current limit is set internally, and the
programmed value is invalid. The MP2617H
provides a typical 450mA input current limit for
USB2.0 specification, and a typical 825mA
current limit for USB3.0 specification.
The input current limit can be set through the two
logic pins (M0 and M1) according to its input
specification (see Table 1). Both M0 and M1 are
pulled to logic high when floating.

When the voltage on VLIM drops and reaches

Battery Charger
The MP2617H’s complete charge operation
consists of trickle charge, automatic charge
termination, charge status indication, timer
control, NTC indication, automatic recharge, and
thermal limiting.
When the PWM converter exits soft start, the
battery charge cycle begins. The MP2617H first
determines if the battery is deeply discharged. If
the battery voltage is lower than the trickle
charge threshold (typically 3.0V), the battery
charger starts in trickle charge mode. The trickle
charge current is limited to 10% of the
programmed charge current until the battery
voltage reaches 3.0V. If the charge remains in
trickle charge mode for longer than “trickle
charge timer period”, the timer out condition is
_____________
triggered, the charge is terminated, and CHGOK
starts blinking to indicate that the battery is
unresponsive. When the battery voltage is above
3.0V, the charger operates in constant-current
mode. The current delivered to the battery
attempts to reach the value programmed by
ISET. Depending on the available input power
and system load conditions, the battery charger
may or may not be able to charge at the fully
programmed rate. The system load is always
satisfied first over the battery charge current. If
End of Charge (EOC) and Indication
In constant-voltage charge mode, the battery
voltage is regulated at 4.2V when SYSFB is
floating or SYS is programmed higher than the
battery-full threshold, and the charge current
decreases naturally. Once the charge current
reaches the battery full threshold (IBF, 1/10 the
programmed charge current), the battery is fully
charged, and charge cycle is terminated.
If the charge current drops below IBF because of
any limit condition, the MP2617H exits CV mode,
and the charge-full detection is invalid.
A safe timer starts at the beginning of each new
charge cycle and monitors whether the entire
charge period is within the programmed time
limit. After each charge cycle, when the battery
is indicated as full, the timer counter resets. If the
time expires while the charging is still ongoing,
the timer forces the MP2617H to terminate

condition.
If system voltage is programmed below 4.2V by
the resistor divider at SYSFB, the battery is
charged close to VSYS until the charge current
reaches the IBF threshold.
Automatic Recharge
Once the battery charge cycle is completed, the
MP2617H turns off, indicating the battery-full
status. During this process, the battery power
may be consumed by the system load or selfdischarge. If the input power is always on, to
ensure that the battery is not exhausted, the new
charge cycle begins automatically when

charger function, while the output of the PWM
converter continues to supply power to the
system. Conversely, a resistor from ISET to
AGND enables charging at the programmed
charge current.
During the charge-off state when the battery is
fully charged, if the input power is recycled, or
the EN signal is refreshed, the charge cycle
restarts, and the timer refreshes, even if the
battery voltage is above the auto-recharge
threshold.
The logic control of the ISET pin of the MP2617H
can be set as shown in Figure 3. In this way, logic
low can be set as the off signal, and logic high
can be set as the on signal with an N-channel
MOSFET.

Input Power Status Indication (ACOK)
An internal UVLO circuit monitors the input
voltage and keeps the IC in its off state until the
input rises over the rising threshold (3.8V). When
the input voltage decreases below the lower
threshold (3.5V), the IC turns off, and the system
load is powered by the battery automatically.

Additionally, the actual battery charge current
may be lower than the programmed current due
to the limited input power available and
prioritization of the system load.
The battery charge full-current threshold (IBF) is
set internally at 10% of the programmed charge
current. However, IBF has a 150mA maximum
limit which cannot be exceeded.

Timer Setting
The MP2617H uses an internal timer to
terminate charge if the timer times out. The timer
duration is programmed by an external capacitor
at the TMR pin and related to the real battery
current (IBATT).

C TMR 0.73 2
(s)
I BATT
-6

40000
The trickle mode charge time is:
t Trickle_TMR 45055 t Cycle(s)
If a CTMR (0.1µF) is connected, the trickle charge
current is just 0.1A, and suppose the
capacitance and battery current is fixed at this
value, the trickle charge time is calculated about
31 minutes.
The total charge time (during CC and CV mode)
is:
t Total_TMR 3407871 t Cycle(s)
If a CTMR (0.1µF) is connected, the CC charge
current is 1A, and suppose the capacitance and
battery current is fixed at this value, the CC
charge time is calculated about 5.3 hours.
During CV mode, as the charge current
decrease naturally, so the timer cycle increases
naturally according to the formula. The time
period also will increased during CV mode. The
battery is closer to full state, the timer period is
longer.
As a result of power path management control,
charge current might vary during normal
operation, under this condition, the MP2617H
automatically takes into account this variation
and adjust the timer period accordingly.
If charge is stopped due to high system load, the
timer is temporarily suspended. This feature
avoids indicating a false trigger indication for bad
battery indication when there is little charge
current delivered to the battery as a result of the
insufficient input power.
When the timer out condition occurs, the
MP2617H terminates the charge at once and

Battery Temperature Monitor
The MP2617H continuously monitors battery’s
temperature by measuring the voltage at the
NTC pin, typically determined by a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor and
external voltage dividers, as shown in Figure 5.
Both the external voltage divider and the internal
reference voltage divider are pulled up to the
same power pin. So actually, the voltage ratios
between the internal and external dividers are

Thermal Protection
The MP2617H implements thermal protection to
prevent thermal damage to the IC or surrounding
components. An internal thermal sense and
feedback loop decrease the charge current
automatically when the die temperature rises to
about 120°C. This function is referred to as the
charge current thermal fold-back. This feature
protects the MP2617H from excessive
temperature due to high-power operation or high
ambient thermal conditions. Another benefit of
this feature is that the charge current can be set
according to the requirement rather than the
worst-case condition for a given application with
the assurance of safe operation. The MP2617H
stops charging if the junction temperature rises
above 150°C as the IC enters thermal shutdown
protection.

R T2 //R NTC_LOW

R T2 //R NTC_HIGH

VTHL actually means the low temperature
threshold limit ratio (Cold Limit) and VTHH means
the high temperature threshold limit ratio (Hot
Limit). RNTC_LOW means the resistance of the
selected NTC thermistor under low temperature,
while RNTC_HIGH means the resistance of the
selected NTC thermistor under high temperature.
Once the external voltage ratio exits the low
temperature threshold (VTHL) to high temperature
threshold (VTHH) range, it means the battery
temperature is out of the COLD to HOT range,
the IC suspends charging and reports the NTC
fault. Charging resumes automatically after the
battery temperature is within the COLD to HOT
temperature range again. Figure 6 shows the
standard control.
Ideal Diode Mode
If the system current requirement increases such
that the pre-set input current limit of the PWM
converter is reached and the charge current has
reduced to zero, the additional current will be
drawn from the battery via the BATT-to-SYS
switch. To avoid very large currents from being
drawn from the battery which might affect the
reliability of the device, the MP2617H controls
the battery MOSFET to work in the ideal diode
mode. When VSYS drops to 40mV lower than
VBATT, then the MP2617H will enter ideal diode
mode and regulate VSYS to VBATT - 65mV. After
the system load decreases and VSYS is 40mV
higher than VBATT, the battery MOSFET exits

Battery Discharge Protection
When the input power is removed or invalid, the
system load draws power from the battery via the
battery switch. Under this condition, the battery
switch is fully on to minimize power loss. The
MP2617H
integrates
battery
discharge
protection. If the battery discharge current is
larger than the discharge current limit threshold
(IDIS, 6.2A), the current is regulated at the pre-set
limited value. If the current increases further, the
SYS voltage starts to decrease. When VSYS
drops to about 800mV below VBATT, a SYS short
condition is detected. Under this condition, the
discharge current is limited at 230mA. In the
event of a short from the system to GND, the
discharge current from the battery to the system
is also limited to 230mA.
The battery voltage UVLO is always monitored.
If the battery voltage is lower than the battery
UVLO threshold, the battery switch is turned off
immediately. This feature prevents the battery
from being over-discharged.
Dynamic Power Path Management (DPPM)
In the presence of a valid input source, the PWM
converter supplies current to both the system
and the battery charger.
The voltage (VSYS) is regulated based on the
value of the battery voltage. When VBATT is higher
than 3.4V, VSYS is regulated 200mV above VBATT
to charge the battery. When VBATT is lower than
3.4V, VSYS is regulated at a constant 3.6V to
ensure that the system can still be powered up,
even with a drained battery connected.
When the input source is overloaded, either the
current exceeds the input current limit or the
voltage falls below the input voltage limit. The
MP2617H then reduces the charge current until
the input current falls below the input current limit
and the input voltage rises above the input
voltage limit. If the system current increases
beyond the power allowed by the input source,
additional power is drawn from the battery via an
on-chip 40mΩ MOSFET working as an ideal
diode. If the system current increased further,
when the discharge current times the Ron is over
65mV, the VSYS can not be regulated, the BATT
to SYS MOSFET just turned fully on, the battery
powers the system together with the converter
from VIN as the supplement mode.Additionally,
if the input source is removed, the MP2617H
turns on the 40mΩ MOSFET, allowing the
battery to power the system load to maintain the
operation of the portable device.
