DESCRIPTION
The SS6783A fast charge controller IC is designed for intelligent charging of NiMH or NiCd batteries without the risk of overcharge. -D V detection (-0.25%) and 0D V detection (peak) voltage timer) are the primary methods employed by the SS6783A to terminate fast charging. Fast charging c an also be cut off u sing the maximum battery voltage along with the safety timer to prevent charging under fault conditions of the charging system or the battery itself. The safety timer period is adjustable for flexible usage allowing the SS6783A to be used with a wide range of battery capacities. A test mode is provided for charger manufacturers to dramatically reduce production test time.
APPLICATIONS
Battery Fast Chargers for: Mobile Phones. Notebook and Laptop Personal Computers. Portable Power Tools and Toys. Portable Communication Equipment. Portable Video & Stereo Equipment.
This device is available with Pb-free lead finish (second-level interconnect) as SS6783AGS.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OPERATION
Power-On and Battery Pre-Qualifying When power is first applied to the SS6783A, all internal digital circuit blocks of the SS6783A are reset by the internal power-on-reset circuitry and the output LED flashes 3 times to indicate the initiation of power-on. The internal control unit then examines the battery condition through the VBT pin. The acceptable range of VBT pin is 0.16V to 2.7V. If the voltage of VBT pin fails to fall within the predetermined acceptable limits, the SS6783A enters a charge-suspending mode, in which all the internal circuitry remains in reset state. Fast Charge After the battery passes fault checks, fast charging begins while the initial timer and safety timer of the SS6783A start counting. The functions of −∆V detection, peak voltage timer, and maximum battery voltage are, however, disabled temporarily until the initial timer period in the initial stage of a charge cycle elapses. The initial timer period is equal to 1/80 of the safety timer. Since the low limit of acceptable VBT voltage is only about 0.16V during the initial timer period, even deeply discharged batteries can easily qualify to be subsequently fast charged. In the course of fast charge, the SS6783A constantly monitors the voltages at VBT pin. The fast charge process is switched to trickle charge when any one of the following situations is encountered, which are explained below: Negative delta voltage ( − ∆V ) Peak voltage timer ( 0 ∆V )
Maximum charge time Maximum battery voltage
-∆V Cutoff The SS6783A makes a voltage sampling at VBT pin every 4 seconds when safety timer period is set equal to 80 minutes. If a negative delta voltage of 0.25% compared to its peak value is detected at VBT pin, the fast charge cycle is terminated. 0∆V Cutoff If the battery voltage stays at its peak value or decreases very slowly for the duration determined by the peak voltage timer which is 6% of safety timer, the fast charge action is terminated. Maximum Safety Timer Cutoff The maximum fast charge period is determined by the safety timer, which is set by a resistor connected from TIMER pin to GND. Safety timer, − ∆V , sampling rate will be longer if the resistor value is larger. When the value of the resistor is 100kΩ, the safety timer period equals 80 minutes. After the safety timer period is finished, the fast charge action is terminated. Maximum Voltage Cutoff The SS6783A guards against the maximum limits for battery voltage during fast charging. If either of these limits is exceeded, fast charge action is terminated.
Trickle Charge Trickle charge starts after the fast charge to prevent the loss of charge due to battery self-discharge. The duty cycle is set to 1/128 by internal circuitry.

The functions and charging state control mentioned above are illustrated in the function flow-chart of the SS6783A (Fig. 12) Setting the Period of Safety Timer The SS6783A provides a method for linearly adjusting the period of the safety timer with an external resistor connected from TIMER pin to GND. The relation between safety timer length and the external resistor (RTIMER) is shown in Fig. 13. The table following shows the resistor values for some of the commonly chosen safety timer periods. Also shown in the table are their corresponding oscillator frequencies.
DESIGN GUIDE
Battery Voltage Measurement The SS6783A measures the battery voltage through VBT pin, which is connected to the battery positive terminal through a resistor-divider network, as shown in Fig. 11.

When fast charge is completed, the SS6783A enters the trickle charge mode. In trickle charge mode, the ICON pin output switches with 1/128 duty cycle.

Display the Battery Charging Status The SS6783A provides an open-drain output at the LED pin, to indicate the battery charging status. The outputs of LED pin are shown in the following table:

Charging Completed Conditions 4Hz Flashing ON OFF
Selecting Mode of Operation The SS6783A provides three modes of operation: normal, test, and AC mode determined by the setting of MODE pin. The SS6783A will operate normally when the MODE pin is left floating (a 0.1µF capacitor is recommended to be tied to MODE pin if the charge circuit works in a noisy environment). When the MODE pin is biased to GND, the function of -∆V detection is disabled. When the MODE pin is biased to VCC, the SS6783A enters the test mode. The test mode can be used to significantly reduce production test time.
