This makes the lithium cells attractive for use in portable products. However, lithium cells require a protection circuit within the battery pack because certain operating conditions can be hazardous to the battery or the operator, if allowed to continue. Lithium cells have a porous carbon or graphite anode where lithium ions can lodge themselves in the pores. The lithium ions are separated, which avoids the hazards of metallic lithium. If the lithium cell is allowed to become overcharged, metallic lithium plates out onto the surface of the anode and volatile gas is generated within the cell. This creates a rapid-disassembly hazard (the battery ruptures). If the cell is allowed to over-discharge (VCELL less than approximately 2.3 V), then the copper metal from the cathode goes into the electrolyte solution. This shortens the cycle life of the cell, but presents no safety hazard. If the cell experiences excessive charge or discharge currents, as happens if the wrong charger is used, or if the terminals short circuit, the internal series resistance of the cell creates heating and generates the volatile gas which could rupture the battery. The protection circuit continuously monitors the cell voltage for an overcharged condition or an overdischarged condition. It also continuously monitors the output for an overcurrent condition. If any of these conditions are encountered, the protection circuit opens a series MOSFET switch to terminate the abnormal condition. The lithium cell protection circuit is placed within the battery pack very close to the cell. as that provided by the NE57611. This provides two levels of overcharge protection, with the primary protection of the external charge control circuit and the back-up protection from the battery pack’s protection circuit. The charge termination circuit will be set to stop charging at a level around 50 mV less than the overvoltage threshold voltage of the battery pack’s own protection circuit. Lithium cell operating characteristics The internal resistance of lithium cells is in the 100 mΩ range, compared to the 5–20 mΩ of the nickel-based batteries. This makes the Lithium-ion and polymer cells better for lower battery current applications (less than 1 ampere) as found in cellular and wireless telephones, palmtop and laptop computers, etc. The average operating voltage of a lithium-ion or polymer cell is 3.6 V as compared to the 1.2 V of NiCd and NiMH cells. The typical discharge curve for Lithium cell is shown in Figure 3.

Lithium discharge curve. 2003 Oct 15 5 Philips Semiconductors Product data Single cell Li-ion battery charger NE57611 Charging Lithium cells The lithium cells must be charged with a dedicated charging IC such as the NE57600. These dedicated charging ICs perform a current-limited, constant-voltage charge, as shown in Figure 4. The charger IC begins charging with a current that is typically the rating of the cell (1C) or the milliampere rating of the cell. As the cell approaches its full-charge voltage rating (VOV), the current entering the cell decreases, and the charger IC provides a constant voltage. When the charge current falls below a preset amount, 50 mA for example, the charge is discontinued. If charging is begun below the overdischarged voltage rating of the cell, it is important to slowly raise the cell voltage up to this overdischarged voltage level. This is done by a reconditioning charge. A small amount of current is provided to the cell (50 mA for example), and the cell voltage is allowed a period of time to rise to the overdischarged voltage. If the cell voltage recovers, then a normal charging sequence can begin. If the cell does not reach the overdischarged voltage level, then the cell is too damaged to charge and the charge is discontinued. To take advantage of the larger energy density of lithium cells it is important to allow enough time to completely charge the cell. When the charger switches from constant current to constant voltage charge (Point B, Figure 4) the cell only contains about 80 percent of its full capacity. When the cell is 100 mV less than its full rated charge voltage the capacity contained within the cell is 95 percent. Allowing the cell to slowly complete its charge takes advantage of the larger capacity of the lithium cells. 1.0 CHARGE CURRENT (%C) 0.5 CONSTANT CURRENT CONSTANT VOLTAGE 1.0 TIME (HOURS) 2.0 OPEN-CIRCUIT CELL VOLTAGE (V) VOV 4.0 Point B 3.0 1.0 TIME (HOURS) 2.0 SL01663 Figure 4.

It contains the minimum circuitry needed to safely charge a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer cell. This makes it good for very compact, portable applications. The charging process is permitted to start when the DC input voltage is greater than VIN(min), the battery voltage is less than the overvoltage point (VOV), and the ON/OFF pin is LOW. The cell voltage is continuously monitored by the charge controller and will fall into one of three voltage ranges: 1. If the cell has been severely discharged or allowed to sit on the shelf for a long period of time, the cell will be in the undervoltage range, which is less than 2.3 V. 2. If the cell has only been partially discharged then the voltage will fall into the normal range. 3. If the cell has inadvertently been overcharged and is being reconnected to the charger, the cell is in the overcharged range. The charger circuit then responds in the following manner if the battery pack voltage is: 1. 4.35 V (VOV): The charge current tapers down to zero and the charging is discontinued. Some small current will continue to flow into the cell to replace any self-discharge losses within the cell, but will not overcharge the cell.

This requirement would also include the troughs of any ripple voltage riding atop the DC input voltage from a poorly filtered wall transformer. 2. The maximum input voltage must not exceed the voltage ratings of the components in the charging circuit. 3. The power rating and the thermal design of the linear pass transistor must be able to withstand the maximum experienced headroom voltage at the rated normal charge current. The worst case condition can be calculated by assuming the cell is at its lowest voltage (typically 2.3 V) and the input voltage is at its highest point in its range (typically the DC voltage created at the highest AC input). The power can then be calculated by: PD(max) = (VIN(max) – VCELL(min)) (Icharge) The criteria for the selection of the PNP power transistor should be: VCEO > 1.5 VIN(max) Ic > 1.5 Icharge hFE > 50 @ 1 Amp PD > PD(max) The choice of power package should be done with the highest possible power dissipation and at the highest expected ambient temperature. One can choose a package by referring to Figure 7 and drawing two intersecting lines from the appropriate points on the X and Y axis. Setting the reconditioning charge current This charging current is needed when the cell voltage is less than 2.15 V. The current is limited by RUV and its approximate value should be calculated by: RUV = [Vin(max) – VCELL(min)] / Ichg(recond) The reconditioning current should be 1 to 5 mA. To set the normal maximum charging current, first determine the desired charge rate for the particular lithium cell in use within the battery pack. The cell’s datasheet should provide the recommended maximum rate of charge. Charging at this rate should completely charge the cell in under 3 hours. The value of RCS that regulates the normal charging current can be found by: RCS = 0.1 V / Ichg(normal) Designing the power section of the battery charger There are several factors that are important to the design of a reliable Li-ion battery charger system. These major factors are: 1. The input voltage must not fall below the cell voltage plus the headroom voltage of the charger circuit. The headroom voltage for the charger circuit is 0.6 V, which would make the minimum input voltage about 5.0 V for a Li-ion cell rated at 4.3 V 2003 Oct 15 8 Philips Semiconductors Product data Single cell Li-ion battery charger NE57611 Placing the overvoltage thresholds 2 MAXIMUM POWER (WATTS) D2PAK DPAK 1 For safety and reliability, the lithium-ion protection circuit inside the battery pack should not be used to terminate the charging process routinely. The protection circuit should only activate when the charger has failed. Therefore, the full-charge termination voltage should be set lower than the overvoltage trip threshold of the protection circuit. To assure that the protection circuit never trips routinely, the charger termination voltage should be set below the sum of the two voltage accuracy tolerances of the protection circuit and the charger. This would be about 50 – 55 mV below. SOT223 Design-related safety issues In designing charging circuits for lithium-ion and polymer cells, the designer should provide for user mishandling, common environmental hazards and for random component failures. Some of the user-related issues are plugging the battery pack into the charger backwards, live insertion of the battery into the charger and the charger into the input voltage source. A reverse biased diode is typically provided for the reversed battery. This shunts the reverse currents away from the IC thus protecting the functionality of the charger. To protect against live insertion of battery and input power source, check the sequence of how the circuit powers-up to make sure that there are no sequences that can lead to a failure or hazardous condition. A common adverse operating condition is lightning caused transients. A 500 mW zener diode across the input terminals handles positive and negative transients caused by lightning. The zener will fail short-circuited, if the energy exceeds its surge energy ratings. To help protect the protection zener, place a small inductor or low value resistor in series from the input source. This will lower the peak voltage and energy and distribute it over a longer period.
