GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SMB239 is a fully programmable, linear battery

charger for single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer battery

packs. The device’s simple, linear-mode operation and

ultra-small package significantly reduce component

count and required board space. The SMB239 provides

four

main

charging

phases:

trickle-charge,

pre-

conditioning (pre-charge), constant current and constant

voltage. The overall system accuracy of the SMB239 is

1%, allowing for a higher capacity utilization versus other

conventional solutions.

When a battery or an external supply is inserted the

SMB239 performs the pre-qualification checks before

initiating a charging cycle. The input voltage needs to be

higher than the UVLO threshold for the charging cycle to

start.

As soon as the input supply is removed, the

SMB239 enters a shutdown mode, thereby saving

battery power. A programmable option also exists that

allows the user to prevent battery charging until an I

command has been issued.

If the battery voltage is below 2.0V (trickle-charge to pre-

charge threshold), the device will apply a trickle-charge

current of 10mA (typical). This allows the SMB239 to

reset the protection circuit in the battery pack and bring

the

battery

voltage

higher

level

without

compromising safety.

Once the battery voltage crosses the 2.0V threshold, the

SMB239 enters the pre-charge mode.

This mode

replenishes deeply depleted cells and minimizes heat

dissipation during the initial charge cycle.

The

preconditioning current is programmable, with the default

value at C/10. If the battery voltage does not reach the

preconditioning voltage level (programmable) within a

specified amount of time (pre-charge timeout), the safety

timer expires and the charge cycle is terminated.

When the battery voltage reaches the pre-charge to fast-

charge voltage level, the SMB239 enters the constant

current (fast charge) mode. The fast charge current

level is programmable via the corresponding register.

Once the final float voltage (programmable) has been

reached, the battery charger will enter a constant voltage

mode in which the battery voltage is kept constant,

allowing the charge current to gradually taper off. The

constant-voltage charging mode will continue until the

charge current drops below the termination current

threshold, or until the fast charge timer has expires. The

termination current threshold is programmable.

After the charge cycle has terminated, the SMB239

continues to monitor the battery voltage. If the battery

voltage falls below the recharge threshold (typically

115mV

below

float

voltage),

the

SMB239

can

automatically top-off the battery.

An option exists for preventing charging initiation upon

power cycling unless the battery voltage is 220mV,

390mV or 550mV (VCH) below the float voltage level.

This prevents over-stressing of the battery via

continuous charging cycles in systems with short run

times

and

frequent

power

cycling

(IN

power

connect/disconnect).

A wide range of protection features is also included in

the SMB239. These include input and output (battery)

over-voltage protection, battery missing detector and

thermal

monitor

for

continuous

cell

temperature

monitoring and pre-qualification.

The following charging parameters can be adjusted

dynamically via the I2C interface, for optimizing battery

management real-time. These parameters can also be

programmed statically via a user-friendly GUI interface:

•

Battery (float) voltage

•

Fast charge current

•

Pre-conditioning voltage threshold

•

Pre-conditioning charge current

•

Termination current

•

Temperature window

• Safety charge timers.
