The battery charger is enabled by the processor dri-
ving the CEN input high. A valid input must be avail-
able at DC. The battery charger is disabled without
a valid input at DC or by driving CEN low.
The system current has priority over the battery
charger; the battery charger automatically reduces
its charge current to maintain the input current limit
while still providing the system current (I
SYS
).
The input current limit is tapered down from full cur-
rent to zero current when the die temperature transi-
tions from +100°C to +120°C. Since I
SYS
has priority
over the battery charge current, the battery charge
current tapers down before I
SYS
. The overall result is
self-regulation of die temperature (see the
Thermal
Limiting and Overload Protection
section for more
information).
The battery charger stops charging in done mode
as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Charge Status Output (CHG)
CHG is an open-drain, active-low output that indicates
charger status. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, CHG is
low when the charger is in its prequalification or fast-
charge states. When a timer count is exceeded in
either state, CHG indicates the fault by blinking at a
2Hz rate and remains in that state until the charger is
reset by CEN going low, removal of DC or setting
DLIM[1:2] = 11.
When the MAX8819_ is used with a microprocessor
(μP), connect a pullup resistor between CHG and the
system logic voltage to indicate charge status to the
μP. Alternatively, CHG sinks up to 20mA for an LED
charge indicator.
If the charge status output feature is not required, con-
nect CHG to ground or leave unconnected.
Charge Timer
As shown in Figure 3, a fault timer prevents the battery
from charging indefinitely. In prequalification mode, the
charge time is internally fixed to 33min.
t
PREQUAL
= 33min
In fast-charge mode, the charge timer is internally fixed
to 660min.
t
FSTCHG
= 660min
When the charger exits fast-charge mode, a fixed
33min top-off mode is entered:
t
TOPOFF
= 33min
While in the constant-current fast-charge mode (Figure
2), if the MAX8819_ reduces the battery charge current
due to its internal die temperature or large system loads,
it slows down the charge timer. This feature eliminates
nuisance charge timer faults. When the battery charge
current is between 100% and 50% of its programmed
fast-charge level, the fast-charge timer runs at full
speed. When the battery charge current is between
50% and 20% programmed fast-charge level, the fast-
charge timer is slowed by 2x. Similarly, when the bat-
tery charge current is below 20% of the programmed
fast-charge level, the fast-charge timer is paused. The
fast-charge timer is not slowed or paused when the
charger is in the constant voltage portion of its fast-
charge mode (Figure 2) where the charge current
reduces normally.

Charge Current (CISET)
As shown in Table 2 and Figure 4, a resistor from CISET
to ground (R
CISET
) sets the maximum fast-charge cur-
rent (I
CHGMAX
), the charge current in prequalification
mode (I
PREQUAL
), and the top-off threshold (I
TOPOFF
).
The MAX8819_ supports values of I
CHGMAX
from 200mA
to 1000mA. Select the R
CISET
as follows:
Determine I
CHGMAX
by considering the characteristics
of the battery. It is not necessary to limit the charge cur-
rent based on the capabilities of the expected AC-to-
DC adapter or USB/DC input current limit, the system
load, or thermal limitations of the PCB. The IC automati-
cally lowers the charging current as necessary to
accommodate for these factors.
For the selected value of R
CISET
, calculate I
CHGMAX

, and I

as follows:
Step-Down Converters
(REG1, REG2, REG3)
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are high-efficiency, 2MHz cur-
rent-mode step-down converters with adjustable outputs.
REG1 is designed to deliver 400mA for the MAX8819A/
MAX8819B and 550mA for the MAX8819C. REG2 and
REG3 are designed to deliver 300mA for the MAX8819A/
MAX8819B and 500mA for the MAX8819C.
The PV13 step-down regulator power input must be
connected to SYS. PV2 must also be connected to SYS
for normal operation of REG2, but REG2 can be dis-
abled by connecting PV2, FB2, and PG2 to GND. When
REG2 is disabled, LX2 can be unconencted or con-
nected to GND. The step-down regulators operate with
V
SYS
from 2.6V to 5.5V. Undervoltage lockout ensures
that the step-down regulators do not operate with SYS
below 2.55V (max).
See the
Step-Down Converter Enable/Disable (EN123)
and Sequencing
section for how to enable and disable
the step-down converters. When enabled, the
MAX8819_ gradually ramps each output up during a
2.6ms soft-start time. When enabled, the MAX8819C
sequentially ramps up each output. Soft-start eliminates
input current surges when regulators are enabled.
See the
Step-Down Control Scheme
section for informa-
tion about the step-down converters control scheme.
The IC uses external resistor-dividers to set the step-
down output voltages between 1V and V
SYS
. Use at
least 10μA of bias current in these dividers to ensure no
change in the stability of the closed-loop system. To set
the output voltage, select a value for the resistor con-
nected between FB_ and GND (R
FBL
). The recom-
mended value is 100kΩ. Next, calculate the value of the
resistor connected from FB_ to the output (R
FBH
):
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are optimized for high, medi-
um, and low output voltages, respectively. The highest
overall efficiency occurs with V1 set to the highest out-
put voltage and V3 set to the lowest output voltage.
Step-Down Control Scheme
At light load, the step-down converter switches only as
needed to supply the load. This improves light-load effi-
ciency. At higher load currents (~80mA), the step-down
converter transitions to fixed 2MHz switching.
Step-Down Dropout and Minimum Duty Cycle
All of the step-down regulators are capable of operat-
ing in 100% duty-cycle dropout, however, REG1 has
been optimized for this mode of operation. During
100% duty-cycle operation, the high-side p-channel
MOSFET turns on constantly, connecting the input to
the output through the inductor. The dropout voltage
(V
DO
) is calculated as follows:
where:
R
P
= p-channel power switch R
DS(ON)
R
LSR
= external inductor ESR
The minimum duty cycle for all step-down regulators is
12.5% (typ), allowing a regulation voltage as low as 1V
over the full SYS operating range. REG3 is optimized
for low duty-cycle operation.
Step-Down Input Capacitor
The input capacitor in a step-down converter reduces
current peaks drawn from the power source and
reduces switching noise in the controller. The imped-
ance of the input capacitor at the switching frequency
must be less than that of the source impedance of the
supply so that high-frequency switching currents do not
pass through the input source.

The step-down regulator power inputs are critical dis-
continuous current paths that require careful bypass-
ing. In the PCB layout, place the step-down converter
input bypass capacitors as close as possible to each
pair of switching converter power input pins (PV_ to
PG_) to minimize parasitic inductance. If making con-
nections to these capacitors through vias, be sure to
use multiple vias to ensure that the layout does not
insert excess inductance or resistance between the
bypass capacitor and the power pins.
The input capacitor must meet the input ripple current
requirement imposed by the step-down converter.
Ceramic capacitors are preferred due to their low ESR
and resilience to power-up surge currents. Choose the
input capacitor so that its temperature rise due to input
ripple-current does not exceed approximately +10°C.
For a step-down DC-DC converter, the maximum input
ripple current is half of the output current. This maxi-
mum input ripple current occurs when the step-down
converter operates at 50% duty factor (V
IN
= 2 x V
OUT
).
Bypass PV13 to PG1 and PG3 with a 4.7μF ceramic
capacitor. If REG2 is required, bypass PV2 to PG2 with
a 2.2μF capacitor. Use capacitors that maintain their
capacitance over temperature and DC bias. Ceramic
capacitors with an X7R or X5R temperature characteris-
tic generally perform well. The capacitor voltage rating
should be 6.3V or greater.
Step-Down Output Capacitors
The output capacitance keeps output ripple small and
ensures control-loop stability. The output capacitor must
have low impedance at the switching frequency.
Ceramic, polymer, and tantalum capacitors are suitable
with ceramic exhibiting the lowest ESR and lowest high-
frequency impedance. The MAX8819A/MAX8819B
require at least 10μF of output capacitance. The
MAX8819C requires ar least 22μF of output capacitance.
As the case sizes of ceramic surface-mount capacitors
decreases, their capacitance vs. DC bias voltage char-
acteristic becomes poor. Due to this characteristic, it is
possible for 0805 capacitors to perform well while 0603
capacitors of the same value may not. The MAX8819A/
MAX8819B require a nominal output capacitance of
10μF, however, after their DC bias voltage derating, the
output capacitance must be at least 7.5μF.
Step-Down Inductor
Choose the step-down converter inductance to be
4.7μH. The minimum recommended saturation current
requirement is 700mA. In PWM mode, the peak induc-
tor currents are equal to the load current plus one half
of the inductor ripple current. See Table 3 for suggested
inductors.
