Hybrid Power Boost (HPB) and Narrow VDC (NVDC)
Combo Battery Charger With SMBus Interface
ISL88739
The ISL88739 is a highly versatile combo battery charger
configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3- or 4-cell
batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with the
adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds the
adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB charger
configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to system bus in order
to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode. NVDC
charger configuration quickly turns on BGATE to enable the battery
to help adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.
The ISL88739 uses N-channel MOSFETs (NFETs) for all the switches
to achieve the best performance and lowest BOM cost. The internal
charge pump is capable of turning on all the NFETs fast or slow
depending on the circumstance or the need. The ability to quickly
turn on NFETs prevents system bus voltage drop when the battery is
suddenly removed in Turbo mode or in Battery Learn mode.
The ISL88739 provides many protection features including
PROCHOT# indicator for system low voltage, adapter overcurrent,
battery overcurrent or overheating, with an array of SMBus
programmable parameters for maximum flexibility. It also features
hardware based adapter current limit and battery-current limit in
addition to SMBus programmable limits.
The ISL88739 provides a high accuracy adapter current monitor,
battery current monitor and system power monitor outputs. To
provide maximum flexibility for working with high power and low
power systems, it provides several configurable current-sense
resistor value options to achieve the best trade-off of current sensing
accuracy vs power loss.
The ISL88739 uses Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3™)
modulation scheme to provide excellent light-load efficiency and
fast dynamic response. It is available in a 32 Ld 4x4mm
