Pre-Regulator
The pre-regulator is a high efficiency buck regulator that
produces a voltage at VOUT equal to the battery voltage
plus 0.3V. By reducing the voltage across the charger to
0.3V the dissipation in the charger is greatly reduced, as
compared with a linear charger.
Battery Charger
The battery charger operates in constant current mode,
until the battery voltage rises to approximately the FLOAT
voltage, of 4.2V, and then the charger switches to con-
stant voltage mode.
The charge current is programmed by the PROG resistor
(R3), and has been set to 500mA, on DC1140A, with a
2.00k
Ω
resistor. The battery charger implements trickle
charging, for initial battery voltages less than 2.85V. It
also implements a charge termination timeout of 4 hours,
and a bad cell charging timeout of 30 minutes. An NTC
input is used to determine if the battery temperature is
suitable for charging, too hot or too cold.
The statuses of the charger, as well as any faults, are sig-
naled with the
CHRG
pin.
Ideal Diode
The Ideal Diode block is composed of an internal Ideal
Diode implemented with an on die MOSFET, as well as a
MOSFET gate driver that allows the use of a parallel ex-
ternal MOSFET.
When the voltage on VOUT drops more than 15mV below
the voltage at BAT, the Ideal Diode becomes active. This
will happen when VBUS is not present, or the load on
VOUT exceeds the power available from VBUS.
1A Buck-Boost DC/DC regulator
The Buck-Boost DC/DC regulator provides a regulated
output that can be above and below the input voltage.
The battery voltage will vary from VFLOAT (4.2V) to as
low as 2.5V. The Buck-Boost regulator can supply a
regulated 3.3V output over this entire battery voltage
range.
The Buck-Boost is implemented with a full H-bridge
switch, and proprietary control algorithm.

C Interface
The I

C interface is a 100kHz, write only serial interface
that allows control of the USB input current limit, battery
charger on/off, Buck-Boost regulator (VOUT1) on/off,
Buck-Boost regulator operating mode, and Buck-Boost
output voltage via an internal 4 bit DAC.
