Battery Charger and Step-Down Converter for Portable Applications 12 2556.2006.09.1.2 Functional Description The AAT2556 is a high performance power system comprised of a 500mA lithium-ion/polymer battery charger and a 250mA step-down converter. The battery charger is designed for single-cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries using a constant cur- rent and constant voltage algorithm. The battery charger operates from the adapter/USB input volt- age range from 4V to 6.5V. The adapter/USB charging current level can be programmed up to 500mA for rapid charging applications. A status monitor output pin is provided to indicate the bat- tery charge state by directly driving one external LED. Internal device temperature and charging state are fully monitored for fault conditions. In the event of an over-voltage or over-temperature fail- ure, the device will automatically shut down, pro- tecting the charging device, control system, and the battery under charge. Other features include an integrated reverse blocking diode and sense resistor. The step-down converter operates with an input volt- age of 2.7V to 5.5V. The switching frequency is 1.5MHz, minimizing the size of the inductor. Under light load conditions, the device enters power-saving mode; the switching frequency is reduced, and the converter consumes 30µA of current, making it ideal for battery-operated applications. The output volt- age is programmable from V IN to as low as 0.6V.

Power devices are sized for 250mA current capabil- ity while maintaining over 90% efficiency at full load. Light load efficiency is maintained at greater than 80% down to 1mA of load current. A high-DC gain error amplifier with internal compensation controls the output. It provides excellent transient response and load/line regulation. Under-Voltage Lockout The AAT2556 has internal circuits for UVLO and power on reset features. If the ADP supply voltage drops below the UVLO threshold, the battery charger will suspend charging and shut down. When power is reapplied to the ADP pin or the UVLO condition recovers, the system charge con- trol will automatically resume charging in the appropriate mode for the condition of the battery. If the input voltage of the step-down converter drops below UVLO, the internal circuit will shut down. Protection Circuitry Over-Voltage Protection An over-voltage protection event is defined as a condition where the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the over-voltage protection threshold OVP). If this over-voltage condition occurs, the charger control circuitry will shut down the device. The charger will resume normal charging operation after the over-voltage condition is removed. Current Limit, Over-Temperature Protection For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited at the step-down converter. As load imped- ance decreases and the output voltage falls closer to zero, more power is dissipated internally, which causes the internal die temperature to rise. In this case, the thermal protection circuit completely dis- ables switching, which protects the device from damage. The battery charger has a thermal protection circuit which will shut down charging functions when the internal die temperature exceeds the preset ther- mal limit threshold. Once the internal die tempera- ture falls below the thermal limit, normal charging operation will resume. Control Loop The AAT2556 contains a compact, current mode step-down DC/DC controller. The current through the P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop control, as well as short-circuit and overload protection. A fixed slope compensation signal is added to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltage-pro- grammed current source in parallel with the output capacitor. The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current to force a constant output volt- age for all load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage error amplifier output. The error amplifier reference is fixed at 0.6V. Battery Charging Operation Battery charging commences only after checking several conditions in order to maintain a safe charging environment. The input supply (ADP) must be above the minimum operating voltage (UVLO) and the enable pin must be high (internal- ly pulled down). When the battery is connected to the BAT pin, the charger checks the condition of the battery and determines which charging mode to apply. If the battery voltage is below V MIN, the charger begins battery pre-conditioning by charg- ing at 10% of the programmed constant current; e.g., if the programmed current is 150mA, then the pre-conditioning current (trickle charge) is 15mA. Pre-conditioning is purely a safety precaution for a deeply discharged cell and will also reduce the power dissipation in the internal series pass MOS- FET when the input-output voltage differential is at its highest.

Battery Charger and Step-Down Converter for Portable Applications 14 2556.2006.09.1.2 Pre-conditioning continues until the battery voltage reaches VMIN. At this point, the charger begins con- stant-current charging. The current level for this mode is programmed using a single resistor from the ISET pin to ground. Programmed current can be set from a minimum 15mA up to a maximum of 500mA. Constant current charging will continue until the battery voltage reaches the voltage regu- lation point, V BAT. When the battery voltage reach- es VBAT, the battery charger begins constant volt- age mode. The regulation voltage is factory pro- grammed to a nominal 4.2V (±0.5%) and will con- tinue charging until the charging current has reduced to 10% of the programmed current. After the charge cycle is complete, the pass device turns off and the device automatically goes into a power-saving sleep mode. During this time, the series pass device will block current in both direc- tions, preventing the battery from discharging through the IC. The battery charger will remain in sleep mode, even if the charger source is disconnected, until one of the following events occurs: the battery ter- minal voltage drops below the V RCH threshold; the charger EN pin is recycled; or the charging source is reconnected. In all cases, the charger will mon- itor all parameters and resume charging in the most appropriate mode. Figure 1: Current vs. Voltage Profile During Charging Phases.

Application Information

The EN_BAT pin is internally pulled down. When pulled to a logic high level, the battery charger is enabled. When left open or pulled to a logic low level, the battery charger is shut down and forced into the sleep state. Charging will be halted regard- less of the battery voltage or charging state. When it is re-enabled, the charge control circuit will auto- matically reset and resume charging functions with the appropriate charging mode based on the bat- tery charge state and measured cell voltage from the BAT pin. The step-down converter features a soft start that limits the inrush current and eliminates output volt- age overshoot during startup. The circuit is designed to increase the inductor current limit in discrete steps when the input voltage or enable input is applied. Typical start up time is 100µs. Pulling EN_BUCK to logic low forces the converter in a low power, non-switching state, and it con- sumes less than 1µA of quiescent current. Connecting it to logic high enables the converter and resumes normal operation. Adapter or USB Power Input Constant current charge levels up to 500mA may be programmed by the user when powered from a sufficient input power source. The battery charger will operate from the adapter input over a 4.0V to 6.5V range. The constant current fast charge cur- rent for the adapter input is set by the R SET resistor connected between ISET and ground. Refer to Table 1 for recommended R SET values for a desired constant current charge level. Programming Charge Current The fast charge constant current charge level is user programmed with a set resistor placed between the ISET pin and ground. The accuracy of the fast charge, as well as the preconditioning trick- le charge current, is dominated by the tolerance of the set resistor used. For this reason, a 1% toler- ance metal film resistor is recommended for the set resistor function. Fast charge constant current lev- els from 15mA to 500mA may be set by selecting the appropriate resistor value from Table 1. Table 1: R SET Values. Figure 2: Constant Charging Current vs. Set Resistor Values. Charge Status Output The AAT2556 provides battery charge status via a status pin. This pin is internally connected to an N- channel open drain MOSFET, which can be used to drive an external LED. The status pin can indicate several conditions, as shown in Table 2.

Battery Charger and Step-Down Converter for Portable Applications 18 2556.2006.09.1.2 In general, the worst condition is the greatest volt- age drop across the IC, when battery voltage is charged up to the preconditioning voltage thresh- old. Figure 4 shows the maximum charge current in different ambient temperatures. Figure 4: Maximum Charging Current Before Thermal Cycling Becomes Active. There are three types of losses associated with the step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with the R DS(ON) characteris- tics of the power output switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by the gate charge of the power output switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the losses is given by: I Q is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step- down converter switching losses. For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dis- sipation reduces to: Since R DS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete input voltage range. Given the total losses, the maximum junction tem- perature can be derived from the θ JA for the TDFN33-12 package which is 50°C/W. Capacitor Selection Battery Charger Input Capacitor (C1) In general, it is good design practice to place a decoupling capacitor between the ADP pin and GND. An input capacitor in the range of 1µF to 22µF is recommended. If the source supply is unregulated, it may be necessary to increase the capacitance to keep the input voltage above the under-voltage lockout threshold during device enable and when battery charging is initiated. If the adapter input is to be used in a system with an external power supply source, such as a typical AC-to-DC wall adapter, then a C IN capacitor in the range of 10µF should be used. A larger input capacitor in this application will minimize switching or power transient effects when the power supply is "hot plugged" in. Step-Down Converter Input Capacitor (C3) Select a 4.7µF to 10µF X7R or X5R ceramic capac- itor for the input. To estimate the required input capacitor size, determine the acceptable input rip- ple level (V PP) and solve for C IN. The calculated value varies with input voltage and is a maximum when V IN is double the output voltage.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient characteristics when selecting the prop- er value. For example, the capacitance of a 10µF, 6.3V, X5R ceramic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6µF. The maximum input capacitor RMS current is: The input capacitor RMS ripple current varies with the input and output voltage and will always be less than or equal to half of the total DC load current. for V IN = 2 · VO The term appears in both the input voltage ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is a maximum when V O is twice VIN. This is why the input voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple are a maximum at 50% duty cycle. The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the step- down converter. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high frequency content of the input current localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple. The proper placement of the input capacitor (C3) can be seen in the evaluation board layout in Figure 6. A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long wires running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board input voltage pins. The induc- tance of these wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor, can create a high Q net- work that may affect converter performance. This problem often becomes apparent in the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain meas- urements can also result. Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads from the bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this problem. In applications where the input power source lead inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed in parallel with the low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic capacitor. This dampens the high Q net- work and stabilizes the system. Battery Charger Output Capacitor (C2) The AAT2556 only requires a 1µF ceramic capaci- tor on the BAT pin to maintain circuit stability. This value should be increased to 10µF or more if the battery connection is made any distance from the charger output. If the AAT2556 is to be used in applications where the battery can be removed from the charger, such as with desktop charging cradles, an output capacitor greater than 10µF may be required to prevent the device from cycling on and off when no battery is present. Step-Down Converter Output Capacitor (C4) The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 4.7µF to 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typi- cally provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabi- lize the output during large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low output ripple.

Battery Charger and Step-Down Converter for Portable Applications 20 2556.2006.09.1.2 low temperature operation applications, a 10µF (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor is recommended to stabilize extreme pulsed load conditions. The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic out- put capacitor. During a step increase in load cur- rent, the ceramic output capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop responds and the inductor current increases to match the load current demand. The relationship of the output volt- age droop during the three switching cycles to the output capacitance can be estimated by: Once the average inductor current increases to the DC load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equation establishes a limit on the minimum value for the output capacitor with respect to load transients. The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the minimum output capacitor value to 4.7µF. This is due to its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater phase margin. The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current is given by: Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceram- ic output capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than a few degrees rise in hot- spot temperature. Inductor Selection The step-down converter uses peak current mode control with slope compensation to maintain stabil- ity for duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value must be selected so the inductor current down slope meets the internal slope com- pensation requirements. The internal slope com- pensation for the AAT2556 is 0.45A/µsec. This equates to a slope compensation that is 75% of the inductor current down slope for a 1.8V output and 3.0µH inductor. For most designs, the step-down converter operates with an inductor value of 1µH to 4.7µH. Table 3 dis- plays inductor values for the AAT2556 with different output voltage options. Manufacturer's specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive loss- es due to a high DCR. Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an inductor. The 3.0µH CDRH2D09 series inductor selected from Sumida has a 150mΩ DCR and a 470mA DC current rating. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 9.375mW which gives a 2.08% loss in efficiency for a 250mA, 1.8V output. Table 3: Inductor Values.

Adjustable Output Resistor Selection Resistors R3 and R4 of Figure 5 program the out- put to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias current required for the external feed- back resistor string while maintaining good noise immunity, the suggested value for R4 is 59k Ω. Decreased resistor values are necessary to main- tain noise immunity on the FB pin, resulting in increased quiescent current. Table 4 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages. With enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load application, an external feed-forward capacitor (C5 in Figure 5) can be added. Table 4: Adjustable Resistor Values For Step-Down Converter.

Battery Charger and Step-Down Converter for Portable Applications 22 2556.2006.09.1.2 Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations For the best results, it is recommended to physi- cally place the battery pack as close as possible to the AAT2556 BAT pin. To minimize voltage drops on the PCB, keep the high current carrying traces adequately wide. Refer to the AAT2556 evaluation board for a good layout example (see Figures 6 and 7). The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper layout. 1. The input capacitors (C1, C3) should connect as closely as possible to ADP (Pin 9) and VIN (Pin 12). 2. C4 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short as possible. Do not make the node small by using narrow trace. The trace should be kept wide, direct, and short. 3. The feedback pin (Pin 1) should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high- current load trace will degrade DC load regula- tion. Feedback resistors should be placed as closely as possible to the FB pin (Pin 1) to mini- mize the length of the high impedance feedback trace. If possible, they should also be placed away from the LX (switching node) and inductor to improve noise immunity. 4. The resistance of the trace from the load return to PGND (Pin 10) and GND (Pin 2) should be kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in the potential of the internal signal ground and the power ground. 5. A high density, small footprint layout can be achieved using an inexpensive, miniature, non- shielded, high DCR inductor.
