APPLICATION INFORMATION(Cont.)

Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection

enough, a series blocking diode can be used. In other cases, where the voltage drop must be kept low a P-channel

MOSFET can be used.

USB and Wall Adapter Power

The UTC UB2016 allows charging from both a wall adapter and a USB port. Fig. 5 shows an example of how to

combine wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel MOSFET, MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into

the USB port when a wall adapter is present and a Schottky diode, D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through

the 1kΩ pull-down resistor. Typically a wall adapter can supply more current than the 500mA-limited USB port.

Therefore, an N-channel MOSFET, MN1, and an extra 10kΩ program resistor are used to increase the charge

current to 600mA when the wall adapter is present.
