Application Note: SY6974B
3A, Single Cell Li-Ion DC/DC Switching Charger with
I2C Control, USB Detection and OTG
JEITA Compliant, Power Path Management
General Description
The SY6974B is a fully-integrated switching battery
charger with system power path management devices
for single cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery in a
wide range of tablet and other portable devices. Its
low impedance power path optimizes switching
conversion efficiency, reduces battery charging time
and extends battery life during the discharging mode.
The I2C serial interface with charging and system
settings makes the device a truly flexible solution.
The device supports a wide range of input sources,
including standard USB host port, USB charging
port and non-standard DC adapter. The SY6974B
takes the result from the internal USB port
identification circuit thru DP/DM compliant with
BC1.2. Meanwhile, the SY6974B meets USB Onthe-Go operation power rating specification by
supplying 5.15V (programmable) on BUS with
current limit up to 1.2A (programmable).
The power path management regulates the system
voltage slightly above battery voltage but does not
drop below 3.5V minimum system voltage
(programmable). With this feature, the switching
converter will keep working to support the system
load even when the battery is completely depleted or
removed. When the input current limit or voltage
limit is reached, the power path management will
reduce the charging current to zero firstly. If the
system load continues to increase, the power path
will discharge the battery to provide the power
required by system. This supplement mode operation
prevents overloading the input source.

The device initiates and completes a charging cycle
without software control. It automatically detects the
battery voltage and charges the battery in five phases:
battery short, preconditioning, constant current and
constant voltage and top-off charging (optional). At
the end of the charging cycle, the charger
automatically will terminate when the charge current
is below a preset limit in the constant voltage phase.
When the full battery falls below the recharge
threshold, the charger will automatically start another
charging cycle. The SY6974B can be compliant with
JEITA spec for the 4.2V Li-ion battery.
The device provides various safety features for
battery charging and system operation, including
negative thermistor monitoring, charging safety timer
and over-voltage / over-current protections. The
thermal regulation will reduce charge current when
the
junction
temperature
exceeds
110°C
(programmable).
The STAT output reports the charging status and any
fault conditions. The INT immediately will notify the
host when a fault occurs.
The SY6974B are available in QFN4x4-24 package.

Charge input voltage sense. This pin must be connected close to BUS pin.
USB identification port. USB detection strategy is compliant with BC1.2. SDP, CDP,
DCP and adapter port can be identified according to the detection results thru DP/DM
pins.
Open drain charge status output to indicate various charger operation. Connect to the pull
up rail via 10kΩ resistor. Low indicates charge in progress. High indicates charge
complete or charge disabled. When any charge fault condition occurs, STAT pin will
blink at 1Hz.
The STAT pin function can be disabled when STAT_DIS bit is set.
I2C Interface clock. Connect SCL to the logic rail through a 10kΩ resistor.
I2C Interface data. Connect SDA to the logic rail through a 10kΩ resistor.
Open-drain interrupt output. Connect the /INT to a logic rail via 10kΩ resistor. The /INT
pin sends active low, 256μs pulse to host to report charger device status and fault.
No connect.
Active low charge enable pin. Battery charging will be enabled when REG01[4]=1 and
/CE pin =Low. /CE pin must be pulled high or low.
Connect a resistor divider from REGN to NTC to GND to achieve battery thermal
protection. Charge will suspend when NTC pin is out of range.
Recommend 103AT-2 thermistor.
BATFET enable control in shipping mode and BATFET reset function.
When BATFET is in shipping mode, logic high to low transition on this pin with
minimum of TQON_LOW low level will turn on BATFET to exit shipping mode. This pin is
internally pulled up to default high logic.
When BUS is not plugged in and BATFET_DIS=0, a logic low of TQON_RST will reset
SYS (system power) by turning BATFET off for TBATFET_RST and then re-enable
BATFET.
Battery connection point to the positive terminal of the battery pack. The internal
BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS. Connect a 10μF closely to the BAT pin

System connection point. The internal BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS.
When the battery falls below the minimum system voltages, switch mode converter will
keep SYS above the minimum system voltage.
Power ground connection node. Internally, PGND is connected to the source of the nchannel LSFET. On PCB layout, connect directly to ground connection of input and
output capacitors of the charger.
Switching node pin. Connect to external inductor.
HSFET driver positive supply. Connect a 47nF bootstrap capacitor from LX to BST.
LSFET driver positive supply. Connect a 4.7μF ceramic capacitor from REGN to analog
GND. The capacitor should be placed close to the IC. REGN also serves as bias rail of
NTC pin.
Connected to the drain of the reverse blocking MOSFET and the drain of HSFET. Put at
least 10μF on PMID to PGND, and place it as close as possible to IC.
Charger power input pin. Place a 1μF ceramic capacitor from BUS to PGND and place it
as close as possible to IC.
Exposed pad beneath the IC for heat dissipation. Always solder exposed pad to the board,
and have vias on the Power Pad plane star-connecting to PGND and ground plane for
high current power converter.
