ltc4000 12 4000fb for more information www.linear.com/ltc4000 o pera t ion overview the ltc4000 is designed to simplify the conversion of any externally compensated dc/dc converter into a high performance battery charger with powerpath control. it only requires the dc/dc converter to have a control or external-compensation pin ( usually named vc or ith) whose voltage level varies in a positive monotonic way with its output. the output variable can be either output voltage or output current. for the following discussion, refer to the block diagram in figure 1. the ltc4000 includes four different regulation loops: input current, charge current, battery float voltage and output voltage ( a4-a7). whichever loop requires the lowest volt- age on the ith pin for its regulation controls the external dc/dc converter. the input current regulation loop ensures that the pro- grammed input current limit ( using a resistor at il) is not exceeded at steady state. the charge current regulation loop ensures that the programmed battery charge current limit ( using a resistor at cl) is not exceeded. the float volt- age regulation loop ensures that the programmed battery stack voltage ( using a resistor divider from bat to fbg via bfb) is not exceeded. the output voltage regulation loop ensures that the programmed system output voltage (using a resistor divider from csp to fbg via ofb) is not exceeded. the ltc4000 also provides monitoring pins for the input current and charge current at the iimon and ibmon pins respectively. the ltc4000 features an ideal diode controller at the input from the iid pin to the csp pin and a powerpath controller at the output from the bat pin to the csn pin. the output powerpath controller behaves as an ideal diode controller when not charging. when charging, the output powerpath controller has two modes of operation. if v ofb is greater than v out(inst_on) , bgate is driven low. when v ofb is less than v out(inst_on) , a linear regulator implements the instant-on feature. this feature provides regulation of the bgate pin so that a valid voltage level is immediately available at the output when the ltc4000 is charging an over-discharged, dead or short faulted battery. the state of the enc pin determines whether charging is enabled. when enc is grounded, charging is disabled and the battery float voltage loop is disabled. charging is enabled when the enc pin is left floating or pulled high (1.5 v) the ltc4000 offers several user configurable battery charge termination schemes. the tmr pin can be config- ured for either c/x termination, charge timer termination or no termination. after a particular charge cycle terminates, the ltc4000 features an automatic recharge cycle if the battery voltage drops below 97.6% of the programmed float voltage. trickle charge mode drops the charge current to one tenth of the normal charge current ( programmed using a resistor from the cl pin to gnd) when charging into an over discharged or dead battery. when trickle charging, a capacitor on the tmr pin can be used to program a time out period. when this bad battery timer expires and the battery voltage fails to charge above the low battery threshold (v lobat ), the ltc4000 will terminate charging and indicate a bad battery condition through the status pins ( f lt and chrg). the ltc4000 also includes an ntc pin, which provides temperature qualified charging when connected to an ntc thermistor thermally coupled to the battery pack. to enable this feature, connect the thermistor between the ntc and the gnd pins, and a corresponding resistor from the bias pin to the ntc pin. the ltc4000 also provides a charging status indicator through the f lt and the chrg pins. aside from biasing the thermistor-resistor network, the bias pin can also be used for a convenient pull up voltage. this pin is the output of a low dropout voltage regulator that is capable of providing up to 0.5 ma of current. the regulated voltage on the bias pin is available as soon as the in pin is within its operating range (3v). input ideal diode the input ideal diode feature provides low loss conduction and reverse blocking from the iid pin to the csp pin. this reverse blocking prevents reverse current from the output (csp pin) to the input ( iid pin) which causes unneces- sary drain on the battery and in some cases may result in unexpected dc/dc converter behavior. the ideal diode behavior is achieved by controlling an external pmos connected to the iid pin ( drain) and the

ltc4000 15 4000fb for more information www.linear.com/ltc4000 o pera t ion behavior, bgate also allows current to flow from the csn pin to the bat pin during charging. there are two regions of operation when current is flowing from the csn pin to the bat pin. the first is when charging into a battery whose voltage is below the instant-on threshold (v ofb < v out(inst_on) ). in this region of operation, the controller regulates the voltage at the csp pin to be approximately 86% of the final float voltage level (v out(inst_on) ). this feature provides a csp voltage significantly higher than the battery voltage when charging into a heavily discharged battery. this instant-on feature allows the ltc4000 to provide sufficient voltage at the output ( csp pin), independent of the battery voltage. the second region of operation is when the battery feedback voltage is greater than or equal to the instant-on threshold (v out(inst_on) ). in this region, the bgate pin is driven low and clamped at v bgate(on) to allow the pmos to turn completely on, reducing any power dissipation due to the charge current. battery temperature qualified charging the battery temperature is measured by placing a nega- tive temperature coefficient (ntc) thermistor close to the battery pack. the comparators cp3 and cp4 implement the temperature detection as shown in the block diagram in figure 1. the rising threshold of cp4 is set at 75% of v bias ( cold threshold) and the falling threshold of cp3 is set at 35% of v bias ( hot threshold). when the voltage at the ntc pin is above 75% of v bias or below 35% of v bias then the ltc4000 pauses any charge cycle in progress. when the voltage at the ntc pin returns to the range of 40% to 70% of v bias , charging resumes. when charging is paused, the external charging pmos turns off and charge current drops to zero. if the ltc4000 is charging in the constant voltage mode and the charge termination timer is enabled, the timer pauses until the thermistor indicates a return to a valid temperature. if the battery charger is in the trickle charge mode and the bad battery detection timer is enabled, the bad battery timer pauses until the thermistor indicates a return to a valid temperature. input uvlo and voltage monitoring the regulated voltage on the bias pin is available as soon as v in 3 v. when v in 3 v, the fbg pin is pulled low to gnd with a typical resistance of 100 and the rest of the chip functionality is enabled. when the in pin is high impedance and a battery is con- nected to the bat pin, the bgate pin is pulled down with a 2a ( typical) current source to hold the battery pmos gate voltage at v bgate(on) below v bat . this allows the battery to power the output. the total quiescent current consumed by ltc4000 from the battery when in is not valid is typically 10a. when the in pin is high impedance, the input ideal diode function for the external fet connected to the igate pin is disabled. to ensure that this fet is completely turned off when the voltage at the in pin is not within its operating range, connect a 10 m pull-up resistor between the igate pin and the csp pin. besides the internal input uvlo, the ltc4000 also provides voltage monitoring through the vm pin. the rst pin is pulled low when the voltage on the vm pin falls below 1.193v ( typical). on the other hand, when the voltage on the vm pin rises above 1.233 v ( typical), the rst pin is high impedance. one common use of this voltage monitoring feature is to ensure that the converter is turned off when the voltage at the input is below a certain level. in this case, connect the rst pin to the dc/dc converter chip select or enable pin (see figure 6). figure 6. input voltage monitoring with rst connected to the en pin of the dc/dc converter in cp1 ltc4000 in cln rst r is vm 4000 fo6 r vm2 r vm1 1.193v + ? in dc/dc converter en

ltc4000 18 4000fb for more information www.linear.com/ltc4000 a pplica t ions i n f or m a t ion once the battery voltage rises above the low battery voltage threshold, the charge current level rises from the trickle charge current level to the full charge current level. the ltc4000 also features bad battery detection. this detection is disabled if the tmr pin is grounded or tied to bias. however, when a capacitor is connected to the tmr pin, a bad battery detection timer is started as soon as trickle charging starts. if at the end of the bad battery detection time the battery voltage is still lower than the low battery threshold, charging is terminated and the part indicates a bad battery condition by pulling the f lt pin low and leaving the chrg pin high impedance. the bad battery detection time can be programmed ac- cording to the following formula: c tmr (nf) = t badbat (h) ? 138.5 note that once a bad battery condition is detected, the condition is latched. in order to re-enable charging, re- move the battery and connect a new battery whose voltage causes bfb to rise above the recharge battery threshold (v rechrg( rise) ). alternatively toggle the enc pin or remove and reapply power to in. c/x detection, charge termination and automatic recharge once the constant voltage charging is reached, there are two ways in which charging can terminate. if the tmr pin is tied to bias, the battery charger terminates as soon as the charge current drops to the level programmed by the cx pin. the c/x current termination level is programmed according to the following formula: r cx = i c/x ? r cs ( ) + 0.5mv 0.25a ? i c/x = 0.25a ? r cx ( ) ? 0.5mv r cs where r cs is the charge current sense resistor connected between the csp and the csn pins. when the voltage at bfb is higher than the recharge threshold (97.6% of float), the c/x comparator is enabled. in order to ensure proper c/x termination coming out of a paused charging condition, connect a capacitor on the cx pin according to the following formula: c cx = 100c bgate where c bgate is the total capacitance connected to the bgate pin. for example, a typical capacitance of 1 nf requires a capaci - tor greater than 100 nf connected to the cx pin to ensure proper c/x termination behavior. if a capacitor is connected to the tmr pin, as soon as the constant voltage charging is achieved, a charge termina- tion timer is started. when the charge termination timer expires, the charge cycle terminates. the total charge termination time can be programmed according to the following formula: c tmr (nf) = t terminate (h) ? 34.6 if the tmr pin is grounded, charging never terminates and the battery voltage is held at the float voltage. note that regardless of which termination behavior is selected, the chrg and f lt pins will both assume a high impedance state as soon as the charge current falls below the pro- grammed c/x level. after the charger terminates, the ltc4000 automatically restarts another charge cycle if the battery feedback voltage drops below 97.1% of the programmed final float voltage (v rechrg(fall) ). when charging restarts, the chrg pin pulls low and the f lt pin remains high impedance. output voltage regulation programming the output voltage regulation level is determined using the following formula: r ofb1 = v out 1.193 ? 1 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? r ofb2 as in the battery float voltage calculation, when higher accuracy is important, a slightly more accurate output is determined using the following formula: v out = r ofb1 + r ofb2 r ofb2 ? 1.193v ? ? ? ? ? ?

ltc4000 25 4000fb for more information www.linear.com/ltc4000 if the regulator response is under damped with the initial large value of c c , r c should be increased immediately before larger values of c c are tried. this will normally bring about the over damped starting condition for further iteration. the optimum values for r c and c c normally means the smallest value for c c and the largest value for r c which still guarantee well damped response, and which result in the largest loop bandwidth and hence loop settling that is as rapid as possible. the reason for this approach is that it minimizes the variations in output voltage caused by input ripple voltage and output load transients. a switching regulator which is grossly over damped will never oscillate, but it may have unacceptably large output transients following sudden changes in input voltage or output loading. it may also suffer from excessive overshoot figure 13. typical output transient response at various stability level generator output regulator output with large c c , small r c with reduced c c , small r c further reduction in c c may be possible improper values will cause oscillations effect of increased r c 4000 f13 a pplica t ions i n f or m a t ion problems on startup or short circuit recovery. to guarantee acceptable loop stability under all conditions, the initial values chosen for r c and c c should be checked under all conditions of input voltage and load current. the simplest way of accomplishing this is to apply load currents of minimum, maximum and several points in between. at each load current, input voltage is varied from minimum to maximum while observing the settling waveform. if large temperature variations are expected for the system, stability checks should also be done at the temperature extremes. there can be significant temperature varia- tions in several key component parameters which affect stability; in particular, input and output capacitor value and their esr, and inductor permeability. the external converter parametric variations also need some consid- eration especially the transfer function from the ith/vc pin voltage to the output variable ( voltage or current). the ltc4000 parameters that vary with temperature include the transconductance and the output resistance of the error amplifiers ( a4-a7). for modest temperature varia- tions, conservative over damping under worst-case room temperature conditions is usually sufficient to guarantee adequate stability at all temperatures. one measure of stability margin is to vary the selected values of both r c and c c by 2:1 in all four possible com- binations. if the regulator response remains reasonably well damped under all conditions, the regulator can be considered fairly tolerant of parametric variations. any tendency towards an under damped ( ringing) response indicates that a more conservative compensation may be needed.
