Document number: DS32204 Rev. 3 - 3 8 of 16 www.diodes.com June 2016 © Diodes Incorporated API9221 Functional Characteristics Logic Description A Logic State Table and diagrams of timing and charge profile are given at the end of this description. The battery char ge function is disabled when the EN input is pulled to logic HIGH. This normally requires an external pull -up resistor connected to the system microcontroller I/O power supply. The API9221 has an internal resistor connected from this p in to GND, typically 600kΩ. In many applications a suitable pull -up resistor value is 100kΩ. When EN is pulled LOW or left open circuit, charging is enabled as described below. There are two open -drain logic outputs, PPR and CHG . Each of these can use an external pull -up resistor to an appropriate supply such as the microcontroller I/O supply, or can be left open circuit. A suitable value is 100kΩ. Alternatively these ca n each be used to drive an indicator LED up to a maximum of 10mA. The output PPR is LOW when a valid power supply voltage is present at the VDC input or at the VUSB input, independent of EN . One of the two input voltages must be greater than the pow er-on threshold and less than the overvoltage protection threshold. The output CHG is LOW when the battery is charging, but only until the End -of-Charge (EOC) condition is reached. Together with other conditions as described below, the voltage at the battery connection BAT is used to control the charging current. In the EOC state, CHG is HIGH to indicate that the charging phase has completed and the battery voltage has reached 4.2V (± 1%). In this state, the charger remains active and is able to supply load current and top up the battery as necessary. CHG may be re- set as described below under Charge Conditions. Auxiliary Outputs The USB_BYP and VDC_LDO outputs are available independently of the EN input state. This allows a host controller to power up initially. USB Bypass, USB_BYP The output USB_BYP provides power from the USB input when a valid power supply voltage is present at the VUSB input. It is current limited to 400mA (nominally). It is therefore safely limited in current and voltage within the USB standard. VDC Low dropout regulator VDC_LDO This output provides a regulated 4.94V supply, up to 10mA, when a valid power supply voltage is present at the VDC input. Charge Conditions Before charging can begin, one of the two input voltages must also exceed the battery voltage enough to overcome the input - output comparator offset. When one of the supplies satisfies these conditions, and EN is LOW, charging begins regardless of the state of the other supply. The valid input conditions are: For VDC: VPOR < VDC < OVPVDC and VDC > VBAT +VOSHC For VUSB: VPOR < VUSB < OVPVUSB and VUSB > VBAT + VOSHC Where VPOR is the rising power -on threshold voltage, and VOS HC is the rising input offset voltage relative to V BAT. All these threshold voltages have defined hysteresis. When the charge current falls below IMIN, CHG goes HIGH (provided it has an external pull-up). This state is latched and is not re-set until one of the following events occurs: EN is driven HIGH and LOW again 2. The active supply is removed and re-applied 3. VBAT falls below the re-charge threshold of 3.9V (Nominally) Note that the outputs, BAT, USB_BYP and VDC_LDO are reverse current protected. If an external voltage higher than the supply voltage is connected to one of these outputs, that output will be disabled.

Document number: DS32204 Rev. 3 - 3 9 of 16 www.diodes.com June 2016 © Diodes Incorporated API9221 Functional Characteristics (Cont.) Charging from Adapter Power (VDC pin) The battery can be charg ed from an AC powered wall adapter or in -car adapter at a current of up to 1.2A using this input pin. The maximum charge current is set by an external resistor, R IVDC connected between the IVDC and GND pins. If VDC is greater than the power-on threshold voltage (VPOR) and less than the over-voltage protection threshold (OVPVDC), the battery will begin to charge at a rate dependent on the battery voltage. When VDC input is as recommended, (4.5V to 6.7V), no charge current is drawn from the VUSB input as VD C takes precedence. Input operation below 4.5V is also possible, but the charging rate may be affected. The resistor RIVDC determines the charge current according to IVDCR 6820IVDC  Amp For example, a resistor value of 13kΩ sets a charge current of 0.525A. The recommended IVDC setting is 100mA to 1200mA. Charging from Adapter Power (VDC pin) (Cont.) The maximum charge current available may be otherwise limited by the car/wall adapter cur rent limit, by thermal protection within the API9221, or by the r DS(ON) of the FET in the VDC charging path. For example, if IVDC is set to 1A, there is a voltage drop of 0.6V due the typical r DS(ON) of 600mΩ at room temperature. Therefore, the voltage a t the VDC input must be at least 4.8V to charge the battery to 4.2V in the minimum time. The VDC input is safe from damage up to 28V. Charging from USB Power (VUSB pin) The battery can be charged at a current of up to 0.5A from this pin. In this case th e maximum available charge current is set by an external resistor R IUSB connected between the IUSB and GND pins. If VUSB is greater than the power -on threshold voltage (VPOR) and less than the over -voltage protection threshold (OVP VUSB), the battery will b egin to charge at a rate dependent on the battery voltage. The resistor RIUSB resistor determines the charge current according to IUSBR 6820IUSB  Amp For example, a resistor value of 22kΩ sets a charge current of 0.31A. The recommended IUSB setting is 46.5mA to 465mA. The maximum charge current available may be otherwise limited by the external USB current limit, or by thermal protection within the API9221. The RDS(ON) of the FET in the USB charging path is typically 600mΩ at room temperature. At the IUSB limit of 465mA, there is a voltage drop of nearly 0.3V. Therefore, the voltage at the VUSB input must be at least 4.5V to charge the battery to 4.2V in the minimum time. The VUSB input is safe from damage up to 28V. Trickle Charge When the battery voltage is below the Preconditioning Threshold, VMIN, the charger is in the Trickle Charge state and the charge current is limited to 18% of the available charge current set by R IVDC or RIUSB. If the USB charge current is programmed to a value less than the VDC trickle charge, then this value of the USB current is used in trickle mode (no derating). When the battery voltage reaches VMIN, the charge current increases to 100% of the available charge current.

Document number: DS32204 Rev. 3 - 3 10 of 16 www.diodes.com June 2016 © Diodes Incorporated API9221 Functional Characteristics (Cont.) End-of-Charge Current During charging, as the battery voltage approaches the regulated value of 4.2V, the charging current will begin to decrease. Eventually the charging current settles to a value just low enough to maintain the regulated voltage. When th e current becomes less than the End -of-Charge threshold current, I MIN, the logic output CHG goes HIGH. The threshold current is set by an external resistor connected between the IMIN and GND pins. This is independent of whether the VDC or VUSB input is valid. The resistor at IMIN determines the EOC threshold current according to IMIN MIN R 550I  Amp For example, a resistor value of 10kΩ sets the EOC threshold current to 55mA. Accuracy When the constant voltage phase has been reached, the battery is charged to 4.2V ±1%. This is the maximum error over the ambient temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Fault Summary and Protection Overvoltage protection: If VDC is greater than OVPVDC (6.9V), the VDC charging path is turned off until VDC falls below OVPVDC - HOVPVDC, where HOVPVDC is the OVP hysteresis. Similarly, if VUSB is greater than OVP VUSB (5.4V), the USB charging path is turned off until VUSB falls below OVPVUSB – HOVPVUSB. USB_BYP current limit: The USB_BYP load current is limited to 400mA (Nominally). USB_BYP reverse blocking: If the voltage at USB_BYP is greater than VUSB, the USB bypass path is turned off. BAT reverse blocking: If the battery voltage is greater than either VDC or VUSB, the relevant charge path is turned off. VDC_LDO reverse blocking: If the voltage at VDC_LDO is greater than VDC, the linear regulator is turned off. Thermal protection: When the junction temperature reaches 125°C, a current foldback circuit is activated. This effectively limits the power dissipation to a safe level. Power Supply Filtering and Stability At each of the inputs VDC and VUSB, a local decoupling capacitor is required to be connected to GND. A minimum value of 1µF is recommended, ceramic type X7R. (The USB standard sets an upper bound of capacitance somewhat larger than this.) At the linear regulator output VDC_LDO, a local decoupling capacitor is required, connected to GND. A value of 1µF is recommended, ceramic type X7R. At the battery connection BAT, a local decoupling capacitor is required, connected to GND. A value of 1µF is recommended, ceramic type X7R.
