RT9451
Switch-Mode Single Cell Li-ion Battery Charger with USB OTG
General Description
The RT9451 integrates a high efficiency USB friendly switch
mode charger with On-The-Go (OTG) support for single
cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries, D+D− detection, and
a 50mA LDO regulator into a single chip.
In OTG mode, the PWM controller boosts the battery
voltage to 5V and provides up to 1.6A of current to the
USB output. At very light load, the Boost operates in burst
mode to optimize efficiency. OTG mode can be enabled
either through I2C interface or GPIO control.
The charger features a synchronous 375kHz PWM
controller with integrated power MOSFETs, input current
sensing and regulation, Minimum Input Voltage Regulation
(MIVR), high accuracy charge current and voltage
regulation, and charge termination. It charges the battery
in three phases : low current pre-charge, constant current
fast charge, and constant voltage trickle charge. The input
current is automatically limited to the value set by the
host. The charger can be configured to terminate charge
based on user-selectable minimum current level and
automatically restart the charge cycle if the battery voltage
falls below the recharge threshold. A safety timer with
reset control provides a safety backup for I2C interface.

QW : WQFN-32L 4x4 (W-Type)
Lead Plating System
G : Green (Halogen Free and Pb Free)
Note :
The charger automatically enters sleep mode or high
impedance mode when the input supply is removed. The
charge status is reported to the host using the I2C interface
and the STAT pin. The D+D− detection circuit allows
automatic detection of a USB wall charger. If a wall charger
is detected, the input current limit will automatically
increase from 500mA to 975mA.

RT9451
Application Information
The RT9451 is an integrated solution of single-cell Li-ion
and Li-polymer battery charger for portable applications.
The part integrates a synchronous PWM controller with
power MOSFETs to provide MIVR (Minimum Input Voltage
Regulation), input current sensing, high accuracy current
and voltage regulation, and charge termination in a small
package for space limited devices. The part also features
USB OTG (On-The-Go) function and USB charger detection
(DPDM detection) function.
In charge mode, the RT9451 integrates USB charger
detection for input current limit of 500mA and 1A. The
detection is automatically triggered after each POR. The
detection result can be ignored by the host via I2C interface.
The slave address for the RT9451 is“1001010”.
I2C Interface Timing Diagram
The RT9451 acts as an I2C -bus slave. The I2C-bus master
configures the settings for charge mode and boost mode
by sending command bytes to the RT9451 via the 2-wire
I2C-bus. After the START condition, the I2C master sends
a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed
by an eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The
second byte selects the register to which the data will be
written. The third byte contains data to the selected
register.
The RT9451 provides three operation modes : charge
mode, boost mode (USB OTG), and high impedance mode.
In charge mode, the RT9451 supports a precision charging
system for single cell. In boost mode, the RT9451 works
as a Boost converter and boosts the voltage from battery
to VIN pin for sourcing the OTG devices. In high impedance
mode, the RT9451 stops charging or boosting and
operates in a mode with low quiescent current from VIN or
battery to reduce the power consumption when the
portable device is in standby mode.

RT9451
Charge Mode Operation
Active Input Current Regulation (AICR)
Minimum Input Voltage Regulation (MIVR)
The AICR setting is determined by both AICR [1:0] in
register 0x02h, DPDM_R bit in register 0x07h and LMTSEL
bit in register 0x01h. If LMTSEL bit is set to “0”, the valid
current limit is the maximum value of AICR [1:0] and
DPDM_R result. If LMTSEL bit is set to “1”, the AICR
[1:0] dominates and DPDM_R result is ignored. For the
latter, the input current limit of “00”, “01” and “10” in
AICR [1:0] corresponds to 100mA, 500mA and 975mA
respectively. If the application does not need input current
limit, write “11” into the AICR [1:0].
The RT9451 features input voltage MIVR function to prevent
input voltage drop due to insufficient current provided by
the adaptor or USB input. If MIVR function is enabled, the
input voltage decreases when the over current of the input
power source occurs and is regulated at a predetermined
voltage level which can be set from 4.20V to 4.76V with
the step of 80mV by I2C interface to MIVR [2:0] in the
register of address 0X03. The INT pin is pulled low to notify
the host and the CHMIVR bit is set to high. At this time,
the current drawn by the RT9451 equals to the maximum
current value that the input power can provide at the
predetermined voltage level, instead of the set value. And
CHMIVR bit is set to “1” and INT pin is pulled low to
notify the host. The MIVR function is initially set to 4.36V.
Charge Profile
The RT9451 provides a precision Li-ion or Li-polymer
charging solution for single-cell applications. Input current
limit, charge current, termination current, charge voltage
and input voltage MIVR are all programmable via the I2C
interface. In charge mode, the RT9451 has five control
loops to regulate input current, charge current, charge
voltage, input voltage MIVR and device junction
temperature. During the charging process, all five loops
are enabled and the dominant one will take over the control.

For normal charging process, the Li-ion or Li-polymer
battery is charged in three charging modes depending on
the battery voltage. At the beginning of the charging
process, the RT9451 is in pre-charge mode. When the
battery voltage rises above pre-charge threshold voltage
(VPREC), the RT9451 enters fast-charge mode. Once the
battery voltage is close to the regulation voltage (VOREG),
the RT9451 enters constant voltage mode.
USB Power Source Detection (DPDM Detection)
Pre-Charge Mode
An USB charger detection mechanism is integrated in
RT9451 to detect between dedicated charger or not. The
detection is triggered by VIN power on or DPDN_EN bit in
the register address of 0x00h. The DPDN_EN bit is
automatically reset to “0” after it is triggered. The DPDM
detection status and result are reported in DPDM_D
DPDM_R bits in the register address of 0x07h. The result
is set to 975mA for dedicated charger (DP and DM pins
short together) or 500mA for others. The detection
mechanism can be disable by pulling VIO pin high.
For life-cycle consideration, the battery can not be charged
with large current under low battery condition. When the
BATS pin voltage is below pre-charge threshold voltage
(VPREC), the charger is in pre-charge mode with a weak
charge current which equals to the pre-charge current
(IPREC). In pre-charge mode, the charger basically works
as an LDO. The pre-charge current also acts as the current
limit when the BATS pin is shorted.

RT9451
Fast-Charge Mode and Settings
As the BATS pin rises above VPREC, the charger enters
fast-charge mode and the power MOSFETs starts
switching. Unlike the linear charger, the switching charger
is a current amplifier. The current drawn by the RT9451 is
different from the current into the battery. The user can
set the input current limit (IIN_LIMIT) and output charge
current (ICHRG) respectively. The real charging current is
determined by both IIN_LIMIT [1:0] and VICHRG [3:0].
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit
The charger of the RT9451 has an embedded cycle-bycycle current limit for inductor. Once the inductor current
touches the threshold (5.5A min.), the charger stops
charging immediately to prevent over current from damaging
the device. Notice that, the mechanism can not be disabled
by any way.
Low Current Charging (LOW_CHG)
The RT9451 has two charge current settings for the charge
current in fast-charge mode. One is LOW_CHG bit, the
other is VICHRG[3:0] bits. If LOW_CHG is set to “1”,
the charge current is limited to 150mA (RSENSE = 20mΩ).
If LOW_CHG is set to “0”, the charge current is
determined by VICHRG[3:0] bits.
Charge Current (ICHRG)
The charge current into the battery is determined by the
sense resistor (RSENSE) and VICHRG [3:0] bits in the
register of address 0x01. The voltage between the ISENL
and ISENR pins is regulated to the voltage controlled by
VICHRG [3:0]. The charge current equals to the voltage
between the ISENL and ISENR pins (VICHRG) divided by
RSENSE :
V
ICHRG = ICHRG
RSENSE
For example, for a 20mΩ sense resistor, the charge current
can be set from 1000mA (VICHRG [3:0] = “0000”) to
4000mA (VICHRG [3:0] = “1111”).

where D is the duty cycle and η is the efficiency.
Constant Voltage Mode and Settings
The RT9451 enters constant voltage mode when the BATS
voltage is close to the output-charge voltage (VOREG). Once
entering this mode, the charge current begins decreasing.
For default settings (charge current termination is disabled,
TERM_EN = 0), the RT9451 does not turn off and always
regulates the battery voltage at VOREG. However, once
the charge current termination is enabled, the charger
terminates if the charge current is below termination
current (VITERM [2:0] / RSENSE) in constant-voltage mode.
The charge current termination function is controlled by
TERM_EN bit in the register of address 0x01 via the I2C
interface. After termination, a new charge cycle restarts
when one of the following conditions is detected :
`
The BATS pin voltage falls below the VOREG−VRECH
threshold and CH_EN [1:0] = 11.
`
VIN Power On Reset (POR).
`
CH_EN [1:0] is set from “0X” to “1X”.
Output Charge Voltage (VOREG)
The output-charge voltage is set by the VOREG [5:0] in
the register 0x02h. Its range is from 3.5V to 4.45V. The
default is 4V (011001).
Termination Current (IEOC)
If the charger current termination is enabled (TERM_EN
= “1”), the end-of-charge current is determined by both
the termination current sense voltage (VITERM [2:0]) and
sense resistor (RSENSE). VITERM range is from 1mV to
8mV with the step of 1mV. The end-of-charge current is
calculated as below :
V
IEOC = ITERM
RSENSE
When input current limit and charge current are both set,
the charge current in fast charge phase is calculated as
below :

RT9451
Recharge Behavior
There are two recharge behavior depending on
CH_EN [1:0] setting. If CH_EN [1:0] = “11”, the RT9451
will recharge automatically once BATS falls below VOREG−
VRECH threshold. If CH_EN [1:0] = “10”, the RT9451 will
not recharge automatically but set CHRECH flag and pull
low INT pin to notify the host the battery need to be
recharged.
Safety Timer in Charge Mode
To implement safety mechanism in charge mode, the
RT9451 has a 32-minute timer. At the beginning of a
charging operation, the RT9451 starts 32-minute timer
that can be reset by any write or read action performed by
the host through the I2C interface. Once 32-minute timer
is expired, the RT9451 enters to high impedance mode.
The I2C registers are all reset to default value and CH32M
the reverse blocking switch and PWM are all turned off.
This function prevents battery drain during poor or no input
power source.
Input Over-Voltage Protection (VINOVPI)
When VIN voltage raises above the input over-voltage
threshold (VOVP_IN), the RT9450 stops charging and then
sets fault status bits and sends out fault pulse via the
STAT pin. The condition is released when VIN falls below
VOVP_IN VOVP_IN. The RT9450 then resumes charging
operation.
Boost Mode Operation (OTG)
Trigger and Operation
During charge mode, there are three protection
mechanisms against poor input power source and overvoltage condition : bad adapter detection, sleep mode and
input over-voltage protection.
The RT9451 features USB OTG support. There are two
trigger method : One is to set CH_EN [1:0] = “01” (for
I2C control), the other is to set OTG_EN, OTG_PL and
OTG pin (for GPIO control). Notice that when using OTG
pin to trigger boost mode, it needs an edge trigger and
then keep it to the level defined by OTG_PL. When OTG
function is enabled, the synchronous Boost control loop
takes over the power MOSFETs and reverses the power
flow from the battery to the VIN pin. In normal boost mode,
the MID pin is regulated to the voltage level determined
by VOREG [5:0] whose range is from 4.75 and provides
up to 1.6A current to support other USB OTG devices
connected to the USB connector.
Bad Adapter Detection (CHBADI)
Safety Timer in Boost Mode (BST32SI)
A mechanism is used to justify the power source capability
when power on at the VIN pin. When VIN rises above
VIN(MIN), a sink current of 30mA (typ.) is connected to VIN
pin to detection adaptor status. After the detection period
(30ms typ.), the sink current is removed. At the same
time, if VIN is still above VIN(MIN), the detection passes
and enters charge mode. If VIN is below VIN(MIN), the bad
adapter condition occurs. The RT9451 stops working, sets
CHBADI and repeats detection flow every 2 second (typ.).
Initially, the RT9451 starts a 32-second timer that can be
reset by any write or read action performed by the host
through the I2C interface. Once 32-second timer is expired,
the RT9451 enters to high impedance mode, the I2C
registers are all reset to default value and BST32S bit is
set to “1” to prevent the charger against uncontrolled
discharging when the dead lock of the host occurs.
bit is set to “1” to prevent the charger against uncontrolled
charging when the dead lock of the host occurs.
During normal charging process, the host needs to reset
32-minute timer periodically.
Input Voltage Protection in Charge Mode
Sleep Mode (VIN - VBATS < VSLP, CHRVPI)
The RT9451 enters sleep mode if the voltage drop between
the VIN and BATS pins falls below VSLP. In sleep mode,

RT9451
Output Overload Protection (BSTOL)
The RT9451 provides an overload protection to prevent
the device and battery from damage when VIN is in
overload. Once the inductor current reaches cycle-by-cycle
current limit, the reverse blocking switch operates in linear
region to limit the output current while the MID voltage
remains in voltage regulation. If the overload condition lasts
for more than 30ms, the RT9451 determines the overload
fault condition and resets registers to the default settings.
Status Output (STAT pin)
The STAT pin is used to indicate operating conditions of
the RT9451 and is enabled by writing “00” to the
EN_STAT [1:0] in the register of address 0x00. When
charging is in progress, the STAT pin is pulled low. In
other conditions, the STAT pin acts as a high impedance
output. The STAT pin can also be always pulled low or
high impedance by writing “01” and “10” respectively.
Battery Protection
Battery Over-Voltage Protection in Charge Mode
(CHBATOVI)
The RT9451 monitors BATS voltage for output over-voltage
protection. In charge mode, if the BATS voltage rises above
VOVP_BAT x VOREG, for example, when the battery is
suddenly removed, the RT9450A stops charging and then
sets fault status bits and pull low INT pin. The condition is
released when BATS falls below (VOVP_BAT − ΔVOVP_BAT) x
VOVP_BAT. The RT9451 then resumes charging process
with default settings and the fault is cleared.
Battery Over/Under-Voltage Protection in Boost
Mode (BSTBATOVI, BSTLOWVI)
In boost mode, if the BATS voltage rises above the BATS
maximum input voltage (4.75V typ.) or below BATS
minimum input voltage (2.5V typ. for operating, 3V typ.
for start), battery over/under-voltage protection is triggered.
The RT9451 stops switching, and then enters high
impedance mode.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WQFN-32L 4x4 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
27.8°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal
test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C
can be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (27.8°C/W) = 3.59W for
WQFN-32L 4x4 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 2 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
