The bq2408X-Q1 device is Lithium chemistry (Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer) charger that is intended for automotive applications. The allows the designer to pick an automotive qualified charger for applications where the Li chemistry is needed. Such applications may involve E-Call (back up safety call) or infotainment systems within the automotive space. The device comes completely ready with an integrated charge current monitor and safety timers. The LDO based charger design allows for a cost optimized safe charging algorithm.
For this design example, use the parameters shown in Table 2.
PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Supply voltage | 5 V |
Fast-charge current | ≈ 750 mA |
Battery-Temperature sense (bq24081-Q1) | –2°C to 44.5°C (default setting) |
Program the charge current for 750 mA:
From Electrical Characteristics table, V(SET) = 2.5 V.
From Electrical Characteristics table, K(SET) = 322.
Selecting the closest standard value, use a 1.07-kΩ resistor connected between ISET (pin 6) and ground.
Use a Semitec 103AT-4 NTC thermistor connected between TS (pin 9) and ground.
Look up the corresponding temperature value in the manufacturer's resistance-temperature table for the thermistor selected. For a 103AT-4 Semitec thermistor:
5 kΩ = 44.5°C
25 kΩ = 2°C
Status pins Monitored by Processor:
Select a pullup resistor that can source more than the input bias (leakage) current of both the processor and status pins and still provide a logic high.
Connect a 100-kΩ pullup between each status pin and the VCC of the processor. Connect each status pin to a μP monitor pin.
Status viewed by LED:
Select an LED with a current rating less than 10 mA and select a resistor to place in series with the LED to limit the current to the desired current value (brightness).
Place an LED and resistor in series between the input and each status pin.
In most applications, all that is needed is a high-frequency decoupling capacitor on the input power pin. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor, placed in close proximity to the IN pin and GND pad works well. In some applications, it may be necessary to protect against a hot plug input voltage overshoot. This is done in three ways:
The device only requires a small capacitor for loop stability. A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor placed between the OUT and GND pad is typically sufficient.
No battery – In termination deglitch prior to STAT1 going high. VOUT (VBAT) cycling between charge and done prior to screen capture | ||
Stat1 goes high – In done state | ||
2-V battery is inserted during the charge done state. | ||
Charging is initiated – STAT1 goes low and charge current is applied. | ||
Battery is removed – VOUT goes into regulation, IOUT goes to zero, and termination deglitch timer starts running (same as state 1). | ||
Deglitch timer expires – charge done is declared. |
