Preliminary Datasheet

LP4063

Application Information

Input Voltage Range

The LP4063 has built-in input voltage surge protection as high

as +28V. The charger IC will be automatically disabled when

the input voltage is lower than 3.3V or higher than 7.0V.

A charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VIN pin rises

above the 4.4V level, when a battery is connected to the

charger output. If the BAT pin is less than 2.6V, the charger

enters trickle charge mode. In this mode, the LP4063 supplies

approximately 1/10 the ISET programmed charge current to

bring the battery voltage up to a safe level for full current

charging. When the BAT pin voltage rises above 2.6V, the

charger enters constant-current mode(CC), where the ISET

programmed charge current is supplied to the battery. When

the BAT pin approaches the final float voltage, the LP4063

enters constant-voltage mode(CV) and the charge current

begins to decrease, and the battery full indication is set when

the charge current in the CV mode is reduced to the

programmed full battery current (1/10).

Charge Termination

A charge cycle is terminated when the charge current falls to

1/10th the ISET programmed value after the final float voltage

is reached. This condition is detected by using an internal,

filtered comparator to monitor the ISET pin. When the ISET

1ms), charging is terminated.

charge current and the programming resistance is established

Automatic Recharge

Once the charge cycle is terminated, the LP4063 continuously

monitors the voltage on the BAT pin. A charge cycle restarts

when the battery voltage falls below 4.05V (which

corresponds to approximately 80% to 90% battery capacity).

This ensures that the battery is kept at or near a fully charged

condition and eliminates the need for periodic charge cycle

initiations.

Charge Status Indicator(CHRG)

The charge status output has two different states: strong

pull-down (~5mA) and high impedance. The strong pull-down

state indicates that the LP4060 is in a charge cycle. High

impedance indicates that the charge cycle complete or the

LP4060 is in under voltage lockout mode: either insufficient

voltage is applied to the VCC pin or VCC pin voltagehigher

than OVP.

Thermal Limiting

programmed charge current if the die temperature attempts to

rise above a preset value of approximately 125°C. This

feature protects the LP4063 from excessive temperature and

allows the user to push the limits of the power handling

capability of a given circuit board without risk of damaging the

LP4063. The charge current can be set according to typical

(not worst-case) ambient temperature with the assurance that

the charger will automatically reduce the current in worst-case

conditions.
