QuickSaver(R) Charge Controller for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
General Description
The ICS1702 is a CMOS device designed for the intelligent charge control of either nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The controller uses a pulsed-current charging technique together with voltage slope and/or temperature slope termination. The ICS1702 employs a four stage charge sequence that provides a complete recharge with-out overcharging. The controller has nine user-selectable charge rates and six userselectable auxiliary modes available for customized charging systems. The ICS1702 monitors for the presence of a battery and begins charging when a battery is installed. Voltage and temperature are measured to ensure a battery is within fast charge conditions before charge is initiated.

Controller Operation
Charging Stages
The charging sequence consists of four stages. The application of current is shown graphically in Figure 1. The soft start stage gradually increases current levels up to the user selected fast charge rate during the first two minutes. The soft start stage is followed by the fast charge stage, which continues until termination. After termination, a two hour C/10 topping charge is applied. The topping charge is followed by a C/40 maintenance charge.
Soft Start Charge
Some batteries may exhibit an unusual high impedance condition while accepting the initial charging current, as shown in Figure 2. Unless dealt with, this high impedance condition can cause a voltage peak at the beginning of the charge cycle that would be misinterpreted as a fully charged battery by the voltage termination methods. The soft start charge eases batteries into the fast charge stage by gradually increasing the current to the selected fast charge rate. The gradual increase in current alleviates the voltage peak. During this stage, only positive current pulses are applied to the battery. The duty cycle of the applied current is increased to the selected fast charge rate, as shown in Figure 3, by extending the current pulse on every cycle until the pulse is about one second in duration. The initial current pulse is approximately 200ms. The CMN indicator is activated continuously during this stage.

Fast Charge
In the second stage, the ICS1702 applies the charging current in a series of charge and discharge pulses. The technique consists of a positive current charging pulse followed by a high current, short duration discharge pulse. The cycle, shown with charge, discharge, rest and data acquisition periods in Figure 4, repeats every second until the batteries are fully charged.
The amplitude of the current pulse is determined by system parameters such as the current capability of the charging system, the desired charge rate, the cell capacity and the ability of that cell to accept the charge current. The ICS1702 can be set for nine userselectable fast charge rates from 15 minutes (4C) to four hours (C/4). Charge pulses occur approximately every second. The CMN indicator is activated continuously during this stage.

ICS1702
The discharge current pulse amplitude is typically set to about 2.5 times the amplitude of the charging current based on 1.4V/cell. For example, if the charge current is 4 amps, then the discharge current is set at about 10 amps. The energy removed during the discharge pulse is a fixed ratio to the positive charge rate. The amplitude of the discharge pulse does not affect the operation of the part as described in this section. A voltage acquisition window immediately follows a brief rest time after the discharge pulse. No charge is applied during the rest time or during the acquisition window to allow the cell chemistry to settle. Since no current is flowing, the measured cell voltage is not obscured by any internal or external IR drops or distortions caused by excess plate surface charge. The ICS1702 makes one continuous reading of the no-load battery voltage during the entire acquisition window. The voltage that is measured during this window contains less noise and is a more accurate representation of the true state of charge of the battery. If temperature termination is selected, the thermistor voltage is sampled after a brief rest time once the current supply to the battery is turned on.
Topping Charge
The third stage is a topping charge that applies current at a rate low enough to prevent cell heating but high enough to ensure a full charge. The topping charge applies a C/10 charging current for two hours. The current consists of the same pulse technique used during the fast charge stage; however, the duty cycle of the pulse sequence has been extended as shown in Figure 5. Extending the time between charge pulses allows the same charging current used in the fast charge stage so that no changes to the current source are necessary. For example, the same charge pulse that occurs every second at a 2C fast charge rate will occur every 20 seconds for a topping charge rate of C/10. The MMN indicator is activated continuously during this stage.
Maintenance Charge
The maintenance charge is intended to offset the natural selfdischarge of NiCd or NiMH batteries by keeping the cells primed at peak charge. After the topping charge ends, the ICS1702 begins this charge stage by extending the duty cycle of the applied current pulses to a C/40 rate. The maintenance charge will last for as long as the battery voltage is greater than 0.5V at the VIN pin, or, if the ten hour timer mode is enabled, until the timer stops the controller. The MMN indicator is activated continuously during this stage.

Charge Termination Methods
Several charge termination schemes, including voltage slope, temperature slope, maximum temperature and two overall charge timers are available. The voltage slope and negative voltage slope methods may be used with or without the temperature slope and the maximum temperature method. Maximum temperature and the fast charge timer are available as backup methods. Cells that are not thoroughly conditioned or possess an unusual cell construction may not have a normal voltage profile. The ICS1702 uses an alternate method of charge termination based on a slight decrease in the voltage slope to stop charge to cells whose voltage profile is very shallow. This method looks for a flattening of the voltage slope which may indicate a shallow peak in the voltage profile. The zero slope point occurs slightly beyond the peak voltage and is shown on the voltage curve graph.
Voltage Slope Termination
The most distinctive point on the voltage curve of a charging battery in response to a constant current is the voltage peak that occurs as the cell approaches full charge. By mathematically calculating the first derivative of the voltage, a second curve can be generated showing the change in voltage with respect to time as shown in Figure 6. The slope will reach a maximum just before the actual peak in the cell voltage. Using the voltage slope data, the ICS1702 calculates the point of full charge and accurately terminates the applied current as the battery reaches that point. The actual termination point depends on the charging characteristics of the particular battery.
Figure 6: Voltage and slope curves showing inflection and zero slope points

ICS1702
Temperature Slope Termination
Temperature slope termination is based on the battery producing an accelerated rate of heating as the amount of readily chargeable material dimishes at full charge. An increase in battery (cell) heating due to the charging reaction will occur at a much faster rate than a change due to a warming ambient temperature. Note the effect of 0.5C fluctuations in ambient temperatures resulting in slight variations in the temperature slope as shown in Figure 7. However, the increase in cell temperature near the end of charge causes a much larger change in the temperature slope that can be easily detected and used as a trigger for fast charge termination.
Figure 8: Cell temperature and thermistor voltage slope
Table 1 shows the decrease in thermistor voltage the last minute before full charge required by the ICS1702 at various charge rates. The thermistor voltage slope should exceed the listed value to ensure charge termination. Note that changes in thermistor location, cell size or large ambient temperature fluctuations can affect the slope to some degree. Refer to the Applications Information section and Temperature Slope and Maximum Temperature section for more information on thermistor mounting.
Figure 7: Cell temperature and temperature slope
The rate of change in cell temperature can be determined by measuring the change in voltage across a negative temperature coefficient thermistor as shown in Figure 8. The resistance of an NTC thermistor changes in proportion in the change in temperature of the thermistor. The ICS1702 measures the decreasing resistance as a drop in voltage and calculates the thermistor voltage slope, shown in Figure 8. The controller terminates fast charge based on the selected charge rate and the calculated slope.

ICS1702
To determine the required thermistor characteristics for proper temperature slope termination, the battery temperature rise must be known or determined for the last minute prior to full charge. Maximum temperature termination is also enabled when temperature slope termination is used. Care must be taken to keep voltage levels at the THERM pin within the fast charge range (between 2.4V and 0.93V), as shown in Figure 9. If a thermal switch is used, a 45C open circuit switch is recommended. When the thermal switch opens, an internal pull-up at the THERM pin results in a logic high which shuts down the controller and activates the OTN indicator. The controller must be reset once the hot battery fault condition has cleared to restart the charge sequence. Maximum temperature termination can be disabled by grounding the THERM pin. See the section on Temperature Sensing for more information.
Maximum Temperature Termination
Maximum temperature can be sensed using either a NTC thermistor or a thermal switch. Maximum temperature termination can also be bypassed if desired, although it is strongly recommended that some form of temperature termination be used. If an NTC thermistor is used, an internal voltage threshold determines when the battery is too hot to charge. As temperature increases, the voltage across the thermistor will drop. This voltage is continually compared to the internal voltage threshold. If the thermistor voltage drops below the internal threshold, the OTN indicator is activated and the controller shuts down. The controller must be reset once the hot battery fault condition has cleared to restart the charge sequence.
Fast Charge Timer Termination
The controller uses a timer to limit the fast charge duration. These times are pre-programmed, and are automatically adjusted in time duration according to the charge rate selected. Fast charge timer termination is best suited as a safety backup feature to limit the duration of the fast charge stage. The fast charge timer is always enabled and cannot be disabled. See Table 4 in the section Charge Rate Selection for more information.

ICS1702
Battery Detection
Upon power-up or after a master reset, excess charge from output filter capacitors at the charging system terminals is removed with a series of discharge pulses. After the discharge pulse sequence is complete, the voltage at VIN must be greater than 0.5V when a battery is present. If the voltage at the pin is less than 0.5V, the ICS1702 assumes no battery is present, and the polling detect mode is initiated. No indicator is active during the discharge pulses. The ICS1702 enters the polling detect mode and applies a 100ms charge pulse. During the pulse, the ICS1702 monitors the VIN pin to determine if the divided down terminal voltage is above OPREF. If the battery is present, the voltage will be clamped below the reference on OPREF while the current pulse is applied. If a battery is not present, the voltage at VIN will rise above the reference at OPREF. The charge pulse will repeat until the battery is reinstalled. The polling detect indicator (PFN) is the only indicator active as long as the ICS1702 is in the polling detect mode. Once a battery is installed, the ICS1702 will turn off the PFN indicator and enter the soft start stage. The ICS1702 will automatically reenter the polling detect mode if the battery is removed.
Discharge-to-Charge Mode
The time required for discharge depends on the energy in the battery and the discharge rate. The discharge is not limited by a timer. This allows the user to set the discharge rate. The battery is drained to 1 volt/cell as read at the VIN pin under load and then the controller enters soft start at a charge rate set by the SEL0 and SEL1 inputs. The discharge load is activated by the DCHG pin which goes low for about 400ms every second. A resistor value selected for a 2.5C discharge based on 1.4V/cell results in about a 1C discharge rate. The discharge-to-charge mode can be entered by placing the AUX0 pin high (H) and the AUX1 pin low (L) with the SEL0 and SEL1 inputs set for the desired fast charge rate. This setting initializes the discharge sequence. The ICS1702 enters the discharge-to-charge mode at initial power-up or with a master reset. The discharge mode occurs first, to be followed by the selected fast charge mode. During discharge, the MMN indicator flashes at a one second rate, while during the soft start and fast charge stages the CMN indicator is activated continuously. Four charge modes are available after the discharge portion is complete by changing the state of the AUX inputs during the discharge portion of this mode. The available charge modes are: * Fast Charge: Leave the AUX inputs open (Z). * Direct Maintenance Mode: Set the AUX0 low (L) and AUX1 high (H). * Condition Mode: Set AUX0 high (H) and AUX1 * open (Z). * Ten-Hour Timer Mode: Set AUX0 high (H) and AUX1 high (H). If the battery is removed while in the discharge-to-charge mode, the ICS1702 will continually reset itself until the battery is reinstalled. See Application Information for more information.
Battery Removal
During the application of a charge pulse, the voltage at the VIN pin is compared to the voltage at the OPREF pin. If the voltage at VIN is greater than the voltage at OPREF during the application of the current pulse, then the battery is assumed to have been removed and the ICS1702 enters the polling detect mode. If the voltage at VIN is below the voltage at OPREF, the charging mode continues. When in the topping charge or maintenance charge stages, a charge pulse may not occur for several seconds. During the period between charge pulses, the voltage at VIN must be greater than 0.5V if a battery is attached. If the voltage at VIN is less than 0.5V, the ICS1702 assumes the battery has been removed, and the polling detect mode is initiated.
Discharge-Only Mode
The time required for discharge depends on the energy in the battery and the discharge rate. The discharge is not limited by a timer. This allows the user to set the discharge rate. The battery is drained to 1 volt/cell as read at the VIN pin under load. The ICS1702 shuts down after the discharge sequence is finished and a master reset must be performed to reactivate the device. The discharge load is activated by the DCHG pin which goes low for about 400ms every second. A resistor value selected for a 2.5C discharge based on 1.4V/cell results in about a 1C discharge rate. The discharge-only mode can be entered by placing the AUX0 pin open (Z) and the AUX1 pin low (L). The ICS1702 enters this mode at initial power-up or with a master reset. During the discharge portion, the MMN indicator flashes at a one second rate.
Auxiliary Modes of Operation
The ICS1702 allows six alternate modes of operation to help customize the charging system for certain applications. The trilevel AUX0 and AUX1 pins are used to select the operating mode. The AUX0 and AUX1 pins default the ICS1702 into fast charge operation. Except for the discharge-to-charge mode, another mode can only be selected by re-programming and resetting the controller.

ICS1702
Direct Maintenance Mode
The ICS1702 can enter directly into the C/40 maintenance mode for cells that require a maintenance charge only. The direct maintenance mode is activated by setting the AUX0 pin low (L) and the AUX1 pin high (H), and resetting the device. The SEL0 and SEL1 pins must be set based on the charging current and the battery capacity. The formula Charging Current (Amps) Battery Capacity (Amp * hr) gives the charge rate. Use Table 4 to find the correct SEL0 and SEL1 settings. The maintenance charge is applied until the battery is removed, upon which the ICS1702 will enter the polling detect mode. The ICS1702 will enter the direct maintenance mode upon initial power-up or after a master reset. The MMN indicator will be active during this mode.
Charging System Test
The system test mode is intended for use in applications where the charging system functionality needs to be tested. The system test sequence consists of a one second activation of the CMN, MMN and PFN indicator pins as well as the CHG and DCHG lines. The OTN indicator is not activated. The system test mode is entered by placing both the AUX0 and AUX1 pins low (L). The ICS1702 shuts down after the test sequence is finished and a master reset must be performed to reactivate the device.
Cold Battery Charging
Cold battery charging is activated if a voltage at the THERM pin is in the cold battery voltage range, as shown in Figure 9. The ICS1702 checks for a cold battery before initiating fast charge. If a cold battery is present before fast charge begins, the ICS1702 begins a two-hour C/10 topping charge (the pulsed duty cycle is based on the selected charge rate). If the battery is still cold after the two hour topping charge is complete, the ICS1702 begins a C/40 maintenance charge. The maintenance charge will continue for as long as the battery remains cold Unless the ten hour time mode is selected. The thermistor voltage at the THERM pin is checked every second to see if the battery has warmed up. If so, the ICS1702 stops the topping or maintenance charge and begins a fast charge at a rate selected by the SEL0 and SEL1 inputs. A cold battery does not interfere with the condition mode, direct maintenance mode, the discharge portion of the discharge-tocharge mode, or the discharge-only mode as programmed by the AUX0 and AUX1 pins. See the section on Temperature Sensing, for more information. The MMN and OTN indicators will be active, indicating that a low current charge is being applied to a battery that is outside the specified temperature range for fast charging. If the CMN and OTN indicators are active see the Application Information section.
Conditioning Mode
The ICS1702 can enter a conditioning mode which applies a C/10 charge for a timed 10 hour period, followed by an indefinite C/40 maintenance charge until the batteries are removed. The conditioning mode can be entered by setting the AUX0 pin high (H) and the AUX1 pin open (Z). The SEL0 and SEL1 pins must be set based on the charging current and the battery capacity. The formula Charging Current (Amps) Battery Capacity (Amp * hr) gives the charge rate. Use Table 4 to find the correct SEL0 and SEL1 settings. The MMN indicator will be active during the 10 hour conditioning charge and the maintenance charge that follows. The ICS1702 enters the polling detect mode if the battery is removed.
Ten Hour Timer Mode
Placing the AUX0 and AUX1 pins both high (H) enables a ten hour timer. This timer limits the total charge, including the maintenance charge, to approximately ten hours for a battery that is completely discharged before fast charge is initiated. The ten hour limit is based on the assumption that the charge terminates due to the fast charge timer as shown in Table 2

Pin Descriptions
The ICS1702 requires some external components to control the clock rate, sense temperature and provide an indicator display. The controller must be interfaced to an external power source that will provide the current required to charge a battery pack and, if desired, a circuit that will sink discharge current. The maintenance mode (MMN) indicator is on when the ICS1702 is either in the topping charge, maintenance charge, direct maintenance mode, or the condition mode. The MMN indicator is also lit in conjunction with the OTN indicator when cold battery charging is in progress. The maintenance mode indicator flashes at a one second rate when the ICS1702 is controlling the discharge portion of the discharge-to-charge or the discharge-only mode. The polling detect (PFN) indicator is on when the ICS1702 polls for a battery. The controller applies periodic charge pulses to detect the presence of a battery. The indicator is a warning that these charge pulses are appearing at the charging system terminals at regular intervals. When a battery is detected, the indicator is turned off. The out-of-temperature range (OTN) indicator is active whenever the voltage at the temperature sense (THERM) input enters a range that indicates that the attached battery is too hot to charge. The OTN indicator is also activated with the MMN indicator if the controller is initialized with the battery in the cold battery charge region.
Output Logic Signals: CHG, DCHG Pins
The CHG and DCHG pins are active high, TTL compatible outputs. In addition to being TTL compatible, the CMOS outputs are capable of sourcing current which adds flexibility when interfacing to other circuitry. A logic high on the CHG pin indicates that the charging current supply should be activated. If applicable, a logic high on the DCHG pin indicates that the discharge circuit should be activated. Care must be taken to control wiring resistance and inductance. The load resistor must be capable of handling this short duration high-amplitude pulse. If the auxiliary discharge-to-charge mode is selected, the power dissipation of the load resistor must be properly selected to accept the extended length of the discharge pulse.
Indicators: CMN, MMN, PFN, OTN Pins
The controller has four outputs for driving external indicators. These pins are active low. The four indicator outputs have open drains and are designed to be used with LEDs. Each output can sink over 20mA which requires the use of an external current limiting resistor. The four indicator signals denote fast charge stage, topping and maintenance stages, and the polling detect and out-of-temperature range modes as shown in Table 3. The charge mode (CMN) indicator is activated continuously during the soft start and fast charge stages. When the controller enters the topping charge stage, the output goes high and the indicator turns off.
Charge Rate Selection: SEL0, SEL1 Pins
The SEL0 and SEL1 inputs must be programmed by the user to inform the ICS1702 of the desired charge rate. When left unconnected (open), these tri-level pins will float to about 2.3V. When a low level is required, the pin must be grounded. When a high level is required, the pin must be tied to VDD . The voltage ranges for low (L), open (Z) and high (H) are listed in Table 10, DC Characteristics. To program the SEL0 and SEL1 inputs, refer to the Charge Rate List in Table 4. The ICS1702 does not control the current flowing into the battery in any way other than turning it on and off. The required current for the selected charge rate must be provided by the user's power source. The external charging circuitry should provide current at the selected charge rate. For example, to charge a 1.2 ampere hour battery in 30 minutes (2C), approximately 2.4 amperes of current is required.

Master Reset: MRN Pin
The MRN pin is provided to re-program the controller for a new mode or charging sequence. This pin has an internal pull-up of about 75k. A logic low on the MRN pin must be present for more than 700ms for a reset to occur. As long as the pin is low, the controller is held in a reset condition. A master reset is required to clear a temperature fault condition, clear the charging system test, reset the ten hour timer or change charge rates or auxiliary modes. Upon power-up, the controller automatically resets itself.

Clock Input: RC Pin
The RC pin is used to set the frequency of the internal clock when an external 1 MHz clock is not available. An external resistor must be connected between this pin and VDD. An external capacitor must be connected between this pin and ground. The frequency of the internal clock will be about 1 MHz with a 16k resistor and a 100pF capacitor. All time durations noted in this document are based on a 1 MHz clock. Operating the clock at a lower frequency will proportionally change all time durations. Operating the clock at a frequency significantly lower than 1 MHz, without adjusting the charge current accordingly, will lessen the effectiveness of the fast charge timer and lower the accuracy of the controller. Operating the clock at a frequency greater than 1 MHz will also change all time durations and, without adjusting the charge current accordingly, may cause termination to occur due to the fast charge timer expiring rather than by the battery reaching full charge. The clock may be driven by a 1 MHz external 0 to 5V pulse provided the duty cycle is between 10% and 60%. The clock input impedance is about 1k.

The THERM pin requires some thought if a thermistor is going to be used for hot and cold battery detection. The example below works for a typical 10k @ 25C NTC thermistor. Consider using the controller to prevent charging above 45C and reducing the current below 10C. At 10C the resistance of the thermistor is 18k. At 45C, the resistance drops to 4.7k. The ICS1702 has an internal voltage threshold at 10C at 2.4V, and an internal voltage at 45C at 0.93V as shown in Figure 9. At 25C the voltage at the THERM pin is set at the midpoint of the thresholds:
Temperature Sensing: THERM Pin
The THERM pin is provided for hot and cold battery detection and for temperature slope termination of fast charge when used in conjunction with an NTC thermistor. The THERM pin also provides for hot battery and maximum temperature termination when used in conjunction with a normally closed thermal switch. Several internal voltage thresholds are used by the controller depending on whether a thermistor or a thermal switch is used. Figure 9 shows the internal thresholds over laid on a typical thermistor curve.
0.93V + 2.40V - 0.93V 2
=1.67V.
The THERM pin has a 75k internal pull-up (Rpu). Using a resistor divider with 10k for the thermistor (Rth) and a external fixed resistor (Rfix), the divider looks like Figure 8 at 25C:

To set the voltage at the THERM pin for 1.67V at 25C, the equivalent divider looks like Figure 11.

The internal pull-up resistance Rpu and the parallel resistance R|| are known so the external fixed resistor can be calculated from: Rpu R||
Rfix = __________ . Rpu - R||
Substituting in known values: Rfix = 27.27k. A 27k standard value is used for Rfix. Since the thermistor resistance Rth is specified by manufacturers at a particular temperature, the voltage across the thermistor Vth at that temperature can be calculated from:
As a battery approaches full charge, its accelerated rate of heating can be used to terminate fast charge by detecting the large change in the temperature slope. The large change in temperature slope is proportional to the thermistor voltage change per unit of time. If the DTSEL pin is programmed for temperature slope termination, the controller will calculate the thermistor voltage slope and terminate based on internally set thresholds as listed in Table 1. The threshold is 40mV per minute for selected charge rates greater than C/2, 28mV per minute for charge rates selected at or between C/2 and C/3, and 18mV per minute for selected charge rates less than C/3. The voltage across the thermistor must change at these rates or greater to terminate the selected charge rate. These thresholds correspond to a set change in thermistor resistance when an external pull-up to 5V is used as shown in Figure 11. Using the values calculated from the hot and cold battery detection example, the percent change in the thermistor resistance per minute for selected charge rates are provided. For selected charge rates greater than C/2, the thermistor resistance must decrease 4%/min. to terminate charge. For selected charge rates at or between C/2 and C/3, the thermistor resistance must decrease 3%/min. to terminate charge. For selected charge rates less than C/3, the thermistor must decrease 2%/min. to terminate charge.
Vth =
Rth (5V) __________ (5V), Rpu + R||
with the drop across the resistor divider equal to 5V. For this example, the calculated voltage with Rth=18k at 10C is 2.37V and with Rth =4.7k at 45C the voltage is 0.95V. Table 6 lists the internal thresholds for hot and cold battery detection. If the voltage across the thermistor (at the THERM pin) drops below 0.93V, the ICS1702 will shut down due to a hot battery fault condition and will not restart unless reset. If the voltage dropped across the thermistor is above 2.4V before fast charge is initiated, the ICS1702 will begin a reduced current charge. See the Cold Battery Charging section for more information.

ICS1702
For example, a battery was monitored as it charged at a 1C rate in 25C ambient. In the final minute of charge, the battery temperature rose from 29.8C to 31C where full charge was detected. With this data, the typical 10k @ 25C thermistor used in the example above is checked to determine if its characteristics satisfy the 4% decrease in resistance required for the last minute of charge. The thermistor measures 8.37k @ 29.8C and 8.01k at 31C. For a 1C charge rate, the resistance must decrease at least 4%/min. or more between 29.8C and 31C. The percent decrease in resistance for the thermistor is calculated as: 8.37k - 8.01k (100) 8.37k =4.30% The 4%/min., 3%/min. and 2%/min. decrease in thermistor resistance for the last minute of charge for the selected charge rate are applicable for NTC thermistors other than 10k @ 25C provided that the following requirements are met: * An external pull-up resistor to 5V is used to provide a * thermistor voltage of 1.67V @ 25C. * The thermistor resistance at 25C does not exceed 20k so that accuracy and adequate noise immunity are maintained. * The thermistor resistance increases by a factor of about 1.8 from 25C to 10C and the thermistor resistance decreases by a factor of about 2.1 from 25C to 45C.
*
Using a thermal switch for hot battery detection:
This thermistor meets the 4%/min. requirement and will result in termination at full charge at 31C. The thermistor must be checked for a 4%/min. decrease in resistance for the last minute of charge near the hot and cold battery thresholds. The battery in the example above was charged in a 25C ambient with its temperature rising 31C - 25C or 6C. The temperature rise was 31C - 29.8C or 1.2C in the last minute before full charge occurred. This information is used to check the thermistor characteristics at the ambient extremes. If the selected 1C charge rate is initiated at 12C, the thermistor resistance change must decrease 4%/min. between 16.8C and 18C. The thermistor resistance at 16.8C is 13.68k and at 18C the thermistor resistance is 13.06k. 13.68k - 13.06k 13.68k (100) =4.53%
A thermal switch that opens at about 45C is recommended. The thermal switch must be connected between the THERM pin and ground. When the thermal switch is closed, the voltage at the THERM pin must be below 0.5V for normal operation. When the thermal switch opens (see Figure 12), the internal pull-up at the THERM pin will raise the voltage above 4.2V and the ICS1702 will shut down and will not restart unless reset. Table 7 contains the internal voltage thresholds used with a thermal switch.

The thermistor meets the 4%/min. requirement and will result in termination of fast charge at 18C. If the selected 1C charge rate is initiated at 37C, the thermistor resistance change must decrease 4%/min. between 41.8C and 43C. The thermistor resistance at 41.8C is 5.48k and at 43C the thermistor resistance is 5.25k. 5.48k -5.25k (100) 5.48k =4.19%

Termination Selection: DTSEL Pin
The ICS1702 has the capability of either temperature slope termination, voltage slope termination or both methods simultaneously. The DTSEL pin has an internal 75k pull-down resistor that enables voltage slope termination as the primary method and is the default condition. Tying the pin high enables both temperature slope and voltage slope termination methods. Temperature slope termination as the primary method is enabled by tying the DTSEL pin to the CMN output (pin 5). CMN must have an external 15k or lower value pull-up resistor to VDD for proper activation of temperature slope termination. The ICS1702 must be reset if a new termination method is desired. Table 8 summarizes the DTSEL pin settings. NOTE: Maximum temperature and fast charge timer termination methods are always enabled when using temperature slope termination. Refer to the sections on Fast Charge Timer Termination and Maximum Temperature Termination for more information.
Figure 13: Resistor divider network at the VIN pin
Open Circuit Voltage Reference: OPREF Pin
The OPREF pin requires an external resistor divider to establish the open circuit (no battery) voltage reference. The purpose of this voltage reference is to detect the removal of the battery from the charging system. The voltage at this pin is compared to the voltage at the VIN pin when the current source is turned on. If the voltage at VIN is greater than the voltage at OPREF, the ICS1702 assumes the battery has been removed and the ICS1702 enters the polling detect mode. For proper operation, the voltage at OPREF must be set between the (divided down) open circuit voltage produced by the current source and the maximum normalized battery voltage. An example is shown in Figure 14. Suppose that a current source has an open circuit voltage of 12V. The maximum expected battery voltage of a six-cell pack is determined to be 9.6V. The voltage at OPREF should be set at a point between 1.6V (9.6V/6 cells=1.6V) and 2V (12V/6=2V). This is accomplished with a resistor divider network. In this example, R4 and R3 are referred to VDD. Refer to the VIN and OPREF divider resistor tables in the Applications Information section. From the VIN table, the divider resistors are 10k and 2k for R1 and R2. From the OPREF table, the divider resistors are 2.2k and 1.3k for R3 and R4. If R3 is 2.2k and R4 is 1.3k, the voltage at OPREF is 1.86V.

Voltage Input: VIN Pin
The battery voltage must be normalized by an external resistor divider network to one cell. The electrochemical potential of one cell is about 1.2V. For example, if the battery consists of six cells in series, the voltage at the VIN pin must be equal to the total battery voltage divided by six. This can be accomplished with two resistors, as shown in Figure 13. To determine the correct resistor values, count the number of cells to be charged in series. Then choose either R1 or R2 and solve for the other resistor using: R1 = R2 * (# of cells -1) or R2 = R1

Applications Information
To ensure proper operation of the ICS1702, external components must be properly selected. The external current source used must meet several important criteria to ensure optimal performance of the charging system. The charging current should be constant when using voltage slope termination. The current may vary when using temperature slope termination. With the batteries removed, the current source must be capable of raising the voltage at the VIN pin above the voltage at the OPREF pin to ensure proper polling. With the batteries installed, the current source overshoot characteristics when turned on and off must not cause the voltage at the VIN pin to exceed the voltage at the OPREF pin. If the voltage at OPREF exceeds the voltage at VIN when a charge pulse is applied or removed, the polling feature will be activated.
VIN and OPREF Divider Resistors
Figure 15 shows a typical application using the ICS1702. R1 through R4 must be carefully selected to ensure that battery detection and voltage termination methods operate properly. R1 and R2 are selected to scale the battery voltage down to the voltage of one cell. The following table shows some typical values. Additional information is available in the Voltage Input section.
PC Board Design Considerations
It is very important that care be taken to minimize noise coupling and ground bounce. In addition, wires and connectors can add significant resistance and inductance to the charge and discharge circuits. When designing the printed circuit board, make sure ground and power traces are wide and bypass capacitors are used right at the controller. Use separate grounds for the signal, charge and discharge circuits. Separate ground planes on the component side of the PC board are recommended. Be sure to connect these grounds together at the negative lead of the battery only. For the discharge circuit, keep the physical separation between power and return (ground) to a minimum to minimize field radiation effects. This precaution is also applicable to the constant current source, particularly if it is a switch mode type. Keep the ICS1702 and the constant current source control circuits outside the power and return loop described above. These precautions will prevent high circulating currents and coupled noise from disturbing normal operation.

If using voltage slope termination, the current source should prevent ripple voltage from appearing on the battery. The effects of ripple on the battery voltage may interfere with proper operation when using the voltage slope method. R3 and R4 are used to set the open circuit (no battery) reference voltage on the OPREF pin. The function of this pin is discussed in the Open Circuit Reference section. VOPREF
Selecting the Appropriate Termination Method
In general, the voltage slope termination method works best for equipment where the battery is fast charged with the equipment off or the battery is removed from the equipment for fast charge. The temperature slope and maximum temperature termination methods are for equipment that must remain operative while the battery is fast charged.

*Voltage Slope Termination
The voltage slope termination method used by the ICS1702 requires a nearly constant current flow into the battery during fast charge. Equipment that draws a known constant current while the battery is charging may use the voltage slope termination method. This constant current draw must be added to the fast charge current. Using the voltage slope termination method for equipment that randomly or periodically requires moderate current from the battery during fast charge needs evaluation. Equipment that randomly or periodically requires high current from the battery during fast charge may cause a voltage inflection that results in termination before full charge. A voltage inflection can occur due to the charge current decreasing or fluctuating as the load changes rather than by the battery reaching full charge. The voltage slope method will terminate charge based on voltage inflections that are characteristic of a fully charged battery. Charging sources that produce decreasing current as fast charge progresses may also cause a voltage inflection that may result in termination before full charge. For example, if the charge current is supplied through a resistor or if the charging source is a constant current type that has insufficient input voltage, the current will decrease and may cause a termination before full charge. Other current source abnormalities that may cause a voltage inflection that is characteristic of a fully charged battery are inadequate ripple and noise attentuation capability or charge current decreasing due to thermal drift. Charging sources that have any of the above characteristics need evaluation to access their suitability for the application if the use of the voltage slope termination is desired. When using voltage slope termination, the controller soft start stage, built-in noise filtering, and fast charge timer operate optimally when the constant current source charges the battery at the rate selected. If the actual charge current is significantly less than the rate selected, the conditioning effect of the soft start stage and the controller noise immunity are lessened. Also, the fast charge timer may cause termination based on time duration rather than by the battery reaching full charge due to inadequate charge current.
*Temperature Slope and Maximum Temperature
Temperature slope and/or maximum temperature termination may have to be used for equipment that has high dynamic current demands while operating from the battery during fast charge. Also, users who do not have a well regulated constant current source available may have to use temperature termination. In general, utilizing temperature slope as the primary termination method with maximum temperature termination as a safety back-up feature is the best approach. When using temperature slope termination, the actual current should not be appreciably lower than the selected rate in order that termination of fast charge occurs due to the battery reaching full charge rather than by the timer expiring. Temperature termination methods require that the thermal sensor be in intimate contact with the battery. A low thermal impedance contact area is required for accurate temperature sensing. The area and quality of the contact surface between the sensor and the battery directly affects the accuracy of temperature sensing. Thermally conductive adhesives may have to be considered in some applications to ensure good thermal transfer from the battery case to the sensor. The thermal sensor should be placed on the largest surface of the battery for the best accuracy. The size of the battery is also a consideration when using temperature termination. The larger the battery the lower the surface area to volume ratio. Because of this, larger batteries are less capable in dissipating internal heat. Additional considerations beyond the basics mentioned above may be involved when using temperature slope termination where sudden changes in ambient temperature occur or where forced air cooling is used. For these applications, the surface area of the thermal sensor in contact with the battery compared to the surface area of the thermal sensor in contact with the ambient air may be significant. For example, bead type thermistors are relatively small devices which have far less thermal capacity compared to most batteries. Insulating the surface of the thermistor that is in contact with the ambient air should help minimize heat loss by the thermistor and maintain accuracy.

ICS1702
Charging System Status by Indicator
The Indicator Description List in Table 3 contains displays that are caused by charging system abnormalities. When the CMN indicator is flashing with no other indicator active, there is voltage present at the battery terminals with the current source off and no battery. Check the current source and ensure that it produces no more than the equivalent of 350mV/cell when turned off with no battery. If the VIN divider resistors were not properly selected, an open circuit voltage that is actually less than the equivalent of 350mV/cell with the charger off and no battery will not divide down this open circuit voltage properly and produce the CMN flash indication. Check the VIN divider and ensure that it properly normalizes the battery voltage to the electrochemical potential of about 1.2V cell. If the CMN flash indication occurs with the battery installed, then the constant current source is producing more than the equivalent of 350mV/cell when off and there is an open connection between the charger terminals and the battery. Check wires, connections, battery terminals, and the battery itself for an open circuit condition. If the CMN and OTN indicators are active together, this is an indication that the battery temperature has dropped to below 10C after a fast charge was initiated with the battery temperature normal. If this condition is observed and the battery temperature did not drop after high charge was initiated, check the thermistor circuit mechanically for poor contact and electrically for excessive noise. If the MMN and CMN indicators are alternately flashing, the likely cause is no battery with the ICS1702 programmed in the discharge-to-charge auxiliary mode. If the battery is present, check wires, connectors, battery terminals, and the battery itself for an open circuit condition. If the MMN indicator is flashing with the OTN indicator active, this is an indication that the battery is cold while in either the discharge portion of the discharge-to-charge mode or the discharge only mode. When in the discharge-to-charge mode, if the battery does not warm-up into the normal temperature range after the discharge is complete, the ICS1702 will enter the maintenance charge stage. When the battery warms-up, the discharge-to-charge mode will repeat.
